For over 20 years, Akshay Kumar has been an ambassador of fitness. Not by endorsing any big time fitness brands but by being fit himself. Right from his inception in Bollywood to becoming one of the highest paid stars, this man has never looked for shortcuts to look good on the screen. You know what I mean by shortcuts, i.e. steroids or performance enhancing drugs. If you understand fitness, you know how rampant steroid use in Bollywood is. Short term transformations, chiseled in two months and all those unbelievable physiques, all this is very common. Akshay Kumar, for real, has never been a part of this brigade. He’s always been natural. If you have any doubts about that, look at his physique. Does he have a chiseled six pack? Does he have monstrous delts or a humongous chest? Well, no, he doesn’t. Apart from being a martial artist, Akshay is also a preacher and practitioner of calisthenics or body weight workouts. Not even once has Akshay, during his time on the screen, sported an unbelievable physique.
