While the wild anticipation and the long wait time coupled with the super impressive star cast are some of the reasons that have catapulted RRR as one of the most awaited movies, one more thing that knocked everyone's breath out is the sheer fitness the leads have displayed in the trailer. While Jr NTR is super impressive in his own right, Ram Charan took things to a whole new level. 

Be it the boxing scene or the scene with him flying and shooting arrows while being engulfed in flames, his rippling muscles and rock hard abs are an absolute vision.

Working out is perhaps the easiest part when you want to lose fat and gain muscles. You know what is the toughest part? Your nutrition. Your diet will decide how much you are going to succeed. There's a straightforward way to look at it: Find out your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and base your daily calories depending on that number. If you're looking forward to gaining muscles while losing weight, you need to be on a 200-300 calorie deficit, and if you want to gain muscles while gaining weight, do it on a 200-300 calorie surplus.

While cardio has its own set of benefits, it will not help you build muscles. You must do resistance/strength training, and lift weights. Only when you put your muscles through stress, will they break down and grow in size. Consistent resistance training coupled with proper nutrition, keeping the calorie quantification as the base, will work like magic when it comes to helping you build muscles.

All the best!
