Salman Khan's secret to staying fit at 59: Eats ‘ghar ka khana', works out six days a week, and won't sleep without THIS
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been winning hearts and turning heads with his fit and muscular body for decades. From his shirtless look in 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya' (1998) to now, at almost 60, Salman still looks strong and sharp. So, what is the secret behind his amazing fitness? His trainer of over 20 years, Rakkesh R Uddiyar, once shared the inside scoop. Salman's old-school workout The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' follows a classic bodybuilding routine called the giant set. In an earlier interview with Live Mint, Rakkesh revealed, 'Salman Khan follows an old-school, typical bodybuilding regime called the giant set. He performs about 10 different variations of chest exercises, such as inclines, push-ups, fly and more.' This means he does one exercise after another without stopping, except when moving from one to the next. Rakkesh explains, 'We start with one exercise, and he moves to the next without a break. The only rest he takes is when walking from one exercise to another. This is a very intense workout called HIIT, with no rest in between. He doesn't do heavy weightlifting but focuses on volume training. He will drink water in between. ' No long breaks, just quick walks You might think breaks are important, but Salman's trainer says short rests are enough. 'If you are walking from one exercise to another, it hardly takes 30 seconds, which is fundamentally enough rest. HIIT makes you sweat, tires you out faster and burns more calories in a shorter time.' Salman keeps his workouts short and sharp. 'He believes that you should be done with your workout within 45 minutes to 1 hour; it is scientifically correct,' says Rakkesh. Training six days a week The 'Kick' actor is very consistent. 'Salman Bhai usually works out 6 days, one day he takes rest. Somedays when he is shooting an action scene or dancing too much, we might compromise on cardio but weight training still remains, without a doubt.' He listens to his body and adjusts his training. 'Even before I entered the industry, Salman had been training. He has been working out for the last 30-40 years. He knows and understands his body well. He listens to it. He trains aggressively when a body shot is required and takes it easy when needed.' Early morning cardio and weight training every day The 'Dabangg' star starts his day with fasted cardio right after waking up. 'Early morning after he wakes up, he does fasted cardio. He finishes his weight training whenever he finds time-- before the shoot, after the shoot, or even during the shoot. But, he has to get it done. Without weight training and cardio, he won't sleep!' The power of 'Ghar Ka Khana' The 'Andaz Apna Apna' star's diet is simple but effective. He prefers home-cooked food made by his mother, Salma Khan . 'He only eats home food, cooked by his mother. No matter what food you bring him, he would say, 'Ghar ka khana do. Mummy ne jo banaya wahi khana lagao. Wahi khaunga (I will eat home-cooked food, made by my mom).'' His meals are balanced and healthy. 'In the morning, he has porridge, eggs, and fruits. In the afternoon, he eats home-cooked food, either fish or chicken.' Salman is careful about what he eats. 'Salman takes some rice and prefers more vegetables. His salads are a priority. When preparing for an action scene, he starts reducing his food intake two months in advance. Once the shoot is done, he returns to his normal diet. There is no particular diet plan. He is a healthy eating guy,' says Rakkesh. Cheat meals are allowed, but in moderation Even the fittest people enjoy treats, and Salman is no different. He has a cheat meal once a week but keeps it controlled. 'He has a cheat meal once a week, but his calorie intake never exceeds 2000 calories. 'Isse upar maine kabhi dekha hi nahi hai unhe khate huye.'' On the work front, Salman was last seen in A.R. Murugadoss' film 'Sikandar', which also starred Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal . The film did not meet box office expectations. After its run in cinemas, it was released on OTT on 25 May.

'It is creating terrorists': Kick Streamer Dan Saltman Links DC Museum Shooter to Twitch
Image via: @dansaltman / YouTube Following a fatal shooting near the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., outspoken Kick streamer Dan "dancantstream" Saltman has fueled controversy by going public with charges that Twitch encouraged a culture that, he says, helped radicalize the shooter. Deadly Assault and Platform Backlash The attack in question took place on the evening of May 21, when two employees of the Israeli Embassy and a couple were shot and killed near the Jewish Museum. The suspect, now in jail and accused of murder, was said to have screamed "Free Palestine" while being arrested. As news broke, Saltman took to X (formerly Twitter), directly tagging Twitch CEO Dan Clancy and alleging that the shooter had previously been an active user on the streaming platform. Saltman stated:'I can confirm he was a @twitch user. Hey @djclancy999 do you think his favorite channel was the same as yours?' A Broader Battle: Saltman vs. Twitch Saltman, a habitual Twitch critic and vocal defender of alternative platforms such as Kick, employed the tragedy to support an existing assertion: Twitch encourages extremism. This was in accordance with a highly contentious letter written earlier this year by Congressman Ritchie Torres, who had criticized Twitch streamer Hasan "HasanAbi" Piker and CEO Dan Clancy for promoting anti-Semitic content. Torres stated that HasanAbi was now the "anti-Semitic voice of a systemically anti-Semitic platform," referencing inciting past commentary from the streamer. Saltman, siding with Torres' opinion, supported this position in a second post:" It is creating terrorists." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Entrevista exclusiva: a verdade sobre o magnésio que ninguém te contou AlwaysFit Undo Adding fuel to the fire of controversy, Saltman referenced an archived Twitch account he said was owned by the suspect, stating the user had seemingly employed an iteration of their actual name before switching. Although there is no confirmation by the authorities about the suspect's Twitch presence, Saltman's charges hint at increasing discomfort with the power of online communities to affect offline behavior. As the case develops, Twitch has so far made no formal statement. In the meanwhile, the world of streaming is polarized, with Saltman's remarks eliciting support from right-wing pundits as well as outrage from those who see his comments as opportunistic and inflammatory. The case highlights a larger cultural conflict in the online media space, one in which influence, ideology, and responsibility increasingly meet in explosive and sometimes deadly manners.

Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) Launches New Partnerships Enhancing Product Reach And Employee Rewards
experienced an 18% increase in its share price over the past month, influenced by several developments. The launch of Edible Garden's Kick. Sports Nutrition product line on Amazon may have highlighted the platform's potential for market expansion, contributing positively to its valuation. Similarly, Audientes' initiative to distribute its hearable product, Companion, through Amazon in Europe likely added to this growth narrative. Meanwhile, Innovation Minds' integration of Amazon Business supports the company's ongoing diversification strategies. Despite the broader market experiencing varied performances, these initiatives from Amazon entities likely fortified investor confidence, aligning with the upward stock movement amidst overall market optimism. Buy, Hold or Sell View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. Explore 22 top quantum computing companies leading the revolution in next-gen technology and shaping the future with breakthroughs in quantum algorithms, superconducting qubits, and cutting-edge research. The recent developments highlighted in the introduction signify Amazon's robust efforts to widen its market reach, potentially bolstering revenue forecasts. The introduction of new product lines through its platform underscores Amazon's ability to leverage its expansive retail network, which may positively influence anticipated revenue and earnings growth figures. Over a three-year period, the company's total shareholder returns were substantial at 96.03%, indicating strong performance and substantial investor gains. This longer-term growth provides context for the recent one-year return where Amazon underperformed the US Multiline Retail industry, which saw a rise of 12.5%. The short-term share price increase of 18% may partially reflect these strategic advancements. In terms of future outlook, the price target of US$239.33 suggests a promising potential for share price appreciation, especially considering the current trading price of US$185.01 reflects a substantial discount to this target. This gap indicates an expectation of further growth aligned with optimism surrounding Amazon's operational efficiencies and expansion in AWS and advertising, both anticipated to drive earnings. However, uncertainties in tariffs, market competition, and high operational costs remain critical factors for the company's performance. Investors should consider these aspects in conjunction with the analysts' revenue and profit margin projections when evaluating the potential trajectory of Amazon's stock.
