Avnish Sharan shared his fitness journey on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, revealing that in 2020, at the age of 39, he made a firm decision to become healthier. However, the path was not easy. Due to work pressure, family responsibilities, and a busy schedule, his routine often got disrupted. In 2024, after undergoing surgery, his fitness journey came to a complete pause. After that, he shifted his focus from just weight loss to overall health and well-being, both physical and mental.

Fitness Routine And Workout Plan

He built a disciplined routine centred on smart exercise, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, and consistency. Strength training became a key part of his schedule, performed five to six days a week, with gradually increasing intensity. He also included cardio workouts, regular walking, stretching, and proper recovery to maintain long-term fitness.

Diet And Lifestyle Changes

For his diet, he followed simple home-cooked meals instead of any complex plan. His meals included sufficient protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, seasonal fruits, and green vegetables. He reduced processed food and sugar intake, tracked calories, and maintained proper hydration. He also emphasised getting six to seven hours of good sleep daily as an essential part of his routine.

Health Transformation And Results

By early 2026, he set a personal goal to achieve peak fitness by June 27, his daughter Vedika’s birthday. His transformation was not only visible in weight loss but also in significant improvements in health reports. Between September 2025 and May 2026, his total cholesterol dropped from 278 to 158, LDL reduced from 205.2 to 83, HDL improved from 51 to 62.8, and triglycerides fell from 109 to 61.9.
