John Abraham, who made his acting debut in Jism in 2003, changed the way people thought about fitness. Several fitness aficionados admire the model-turned-impressive actor’s eight-pack abs and massive biceps. But getting such a chiseled body is no easy task. Every ‘pack’ is the result of months of hard work and hours spent sweating it out in the gym. Vinod Channa, who has been the actor’s personal trainer for many years, provides us a glimpse inside John’s strict training regimen.
John, who gained weight for Satyameva Jayate 2, Pathan, and Ek Villain 2, now needs to lose it all for Ayyappanum Koshiyum, the Hindi version of the Malayalam film. Bulking up is challenging, but shedding weight accumulated for a specific job in a short period of time is much more difficult. John, on the other hand, is always willing to go the additional mile. “One query that I get regularly is about my workout. But then, that is never uniform. It keeps changing with the nature of the films I do. For Force, I had a rather intense workout where I even lifted heavyweights to ensure that I have huge muscle mass. I had to go in for a chiseled look for Race 2 as I had to look like a resounding cage fighter with agility. So, the role dictates the workout,” says John.
John, according to Vinod Channa (Personal Trainer), is incredibly dedicated not only to his profession but also to his workouts. “There have been times when he has filmed for nearly 16 hours and still made it to the gym.” That is the level of commitment he possesses. “Depending on his shootings and work commitments, he plans his time so that he can come late at night or early in the morning,” Vinod explains.
