Silvio Simac

Sanjay Dutt to learn kickboxing

After getting brickbats for his bulges in Blue, Sanjay  Dutt went on a diet-and-workout routine. He even stopped drinking. As a result of that effort, the actor is now looking fitter than he has in a long time.

Next on Sanju’s list is learning kickboxing from Silvio Simac, who worked with him in Sohail Maklai’s Knockout.

Kickboxing is the answer
A source reveals, “Sanju was super-impressed by Silvio, when they worked together. The actor was convinced that kickboxing was the answer to all-round stamina increase and fitness. Although Silvio is based in the UK, they discussed the possibilities of training together.  Sanju is keen to train in martial arts and kickboxing. He wants to retain his flexibility and increase stamina.” 

Dutt confirms, “I’ve been training by myself for the last few months. I am very keen to get Silvio Simac down to Mumbai for six months to train me. I don’t mind even flying down to UK for a couple of months and staying there to get trained and learn kickboxing from Silvio but I would like him to come to India for the first four months here.”

Diet talk
The actor adds that he has now discontinued the ketosis diet. “I stopped it as one can only follow that for a month. Now I am only on a diet of boiled fish and chicken.”

In the past, Sanju had hired the services of a special body building trainer from the US — Lawrence Gonsalves during the making of Blue.

The Power of Stretching

This is WHY you should STRETCH between sets

Stretching between sets can actually make you increase the amount of weight you are lifting!

Holding a stretch for up to 30 seconds can help boost the blood flow to the muscles and warms them up, increasing their elasticity by up to 18%.

Because flexible muscles can stretch further as well as use store more energy efficiently, it also increases the amount you are able to lift/push, giving you 30% more power at 60% of your max!
