I have been told that an individual tends to lose muscle mass after the age of 30,” says Saiyami Kher, tackling a popular notion in the world of physical wellness. Well aware that muscle mass is the currency of an athlete, the marathoner, easily among the fittest actors in Bollywood, believes her decision to take to physical fitness from an early age has perhaps mitigated some of the trouble that age could cause.
“My goals keep changing, depending on what I do. Strength training is not something I enjoy, but it is a necessity for women, especially after the age of 30,” says Kher, weeks shy of her 32nd birthday. “Training with your body-weight is enough, so, exercises like push-ups, tricep dips, and functional training using the body-weight [can suffice], even though they are difficult to pull off. Having said that, I use weights, and do more strength-training sessions only when I’m six months away from a race.”
