Milind Soman is an epitome of fitness in India and that is something that we’ve all known for more than two decades now. Among many accolades including those for India in swimming, he is known for successfully completing the Ironman challenge in 15 hours and 19 minutes. It is no surprise then that he loves challenging himself with marathons around the world. Most recently, he completed a marathon in Singapore and before that the sixth edition of the Barefoot Marathon in Coorg and the 21k Vizag Navy Marathon before that – all in little over 30 days.
One must wonder, what really is the secret to the supermodel’s fitness, and it is nothing special but just simple. He explains, “The secret to my fitness is good habits. There are five things that are important when it comes to fitness - making the right choices based on what you want in life, sleeping enough and at the right time, eating healthy, exercising and a positive mindset.”
