John Abraham's daily workout routine

From a sexy beach body in Dostana to a muscled bulked-up body in Pathaan, John Abraham always mesmerizes fans with his intense body transformation and this is possible because he maintains a balanced diet and regularly exercises. 

In an interview with GQ India, fitness expert and celebrity trainer Vinod Channa who has been training John Abraham for a decade, opened up about the actor's fitness journey over the years.

He said that he has been working with John for almost 10 years. Before they started training together, the actor used to only practice weight training. The fitness expert added that the Pathaan actor didn’t have much experience with mobility and flexibility and during action sequences, he faced the threat of injuries and dislocations due to sudden movements. After this, they started adding mobility, conditioning, and flexibility workouts to his routine.

Sharing more details about John Abraham's fitness regime, Vinod said, "We train 3-4 times a week throughout the year for approximately one and a half hours. These workouts are a mix of weight training, functional training, mobility, agility, speed, and endurance. When a movie is coming up, we train for 3 months to get him ready for the role. If you have seen his movies, he has had to play roles where he has a muscular body as well as ones where he needed to have a lean body."
