One of the most prominent fitness icons is Gul Panag. In a report in Indian Express, we found out what makes the active icon such a consistent role model when it comes to working out and being healthy. Gul Panag revealed how she kept her fitness regime going for the past 30 years.

Gul Panag was quick to admit that working out on a bad diet is pointless. And that one needs good nutrition to make up for more than 3/4ths of a human's fitness activities.

“Praying to the gods of strength training, NEAT, and ‘eating right’. That I may remain on track." Gul joked initially, hinting at what makes up her workout routine

"The one big game changer in altering my body composition these last few months has been focusing on NEAT (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis) while continuing to do 3 to 4 sessions of strength, training, a week, and of course, ‘eating right’,” shared Gul Panag.

So far, we realise that Gul's guide to working out is all things strength training, NEAT, and maintaining the right diet. The actress trains hard and, most importantly, trains right.

Gul Panag mentioned that she has “always carried a lot of muscle mass." She talked about how she has been working out and focusing on her fitness regime for 30 years.

“The slight change in my appearance ( from time to time) is not me getting fitter or less fit, it’s the percentage of body fat going down. Or UP,” she clarified.

Hitting 10,000 steps in the course of her day is an extremely crucial part of Gul Panag's fitness routine.

Gul also shared, "Walking @vegasandginadaku (with her dogs) is a great way to get that done. I try and make sure I do their morning and evening walks as often as possible. And the shorter walks during the day. Since Vegas and Gina are much older, I end up doing multiple walks, dropping the two older ladies back home, and going back and continuing on a longer walk with Daku 3 to 4 times a week.” 

Last but not the least, she shared, "One cannot out exercise a bad diet. I train, largely for muscle endurance, strength, and maintenance, and eat to fuel it. Of late I’ve been cognisant of the fuel, my body needs, and demands, and have been eating accordingly. And that’s all there is to it,”
