Fitness trainer who helped Nita Ambani, Anant lose kilos busts weightlifting myth: Does it harm bones in long run?
Vinod Channa, the renowned fitness trainer behind Nita Ambani and Anant Ambani's impressive weight transformations, played a crucial role in helping them achieve their fitness goals through the right blend of diet and workout guidance. Also read | Fitness trainer behind Anant Ambani's 108 kg weight loss reveals 3 age-defying eating habits to stay youthful Vinod Channa addressed a weightlifting myth that often stops people from adding strength training in their daily routine. (Pexels) On his official website, Vinod debunked a common fitness myth that often keeps people from incorporating strength training into their routine. The myth? That lifting heavy weights can damage bones and muscles over time. But how much truth does this claim hold? 'I disagree because whoever lifts the heavier weight slowly and steadily increases their strength from 5 pounds to 100kgs with appropriate nutrition," wrote Vinod Channa. Weightlifting is a slow process 'But it's a slow process and everyone can gain strength with progressive overload and at a certain level, they have that much strength that they can perform with heavyweight which is not possible for people who do not exercise and have a target to reach that level with slow steady and increasing proper weight,' Vinod explained. Weightlifting requires proper nutrition.(adobe stock) Role of proper nutrition in progressive overload Providing the right nutrition in the form of protein, carbs and fiber is crucial for preparing the body for progressive overload. 'If you are lifting heavier weight and not providing your body with proper nutrition or if you are not lifting in the technically correct way, sudden lift more than your capacity will make you injured,' Vinod added. Vinod simplified the process of weightlifting for his followers. He added that when we life 100kilos, we break 100 kilos worth of muscles in the body that can take time to recover. When we provide the right nutrition to the body, it can recover faster and help in increasing the weight amount.

Fitness coach who helped Nita Ambani and Anant Ambani lose weight shares what to eat before and after a workout
Anant Ambani, youngest son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, lost an impressive 108 kg in 18 months a few years ago and fitness trainer Vinod Channa played a significant role in guiding Anant during his weight loss journey. Vinod, who also helped Nita Ambani during her weight loss journey, keeps sharing fitness and diet tips on Instagram. In a May 2 video, he shared 'the perfect pre-workout and post-workout meals to fuel your body and boost recovery'. Also read | The right nutrition before and after exercise According to Vinod, fueling your body with the right foods before and after a workout can help optimise performance, support muscle growth and repair, and aid in recovery. In his caption, he wrote, 'Confused about what to eat before and after a workout? Let celebrity fitness expert Vinod Channa guide you with the perfect pre-workout and post-workout meals to fuel your body and boost recovery! Build muscle faster, recover better and get real results with the right nutrition.' A post shared by Vinod Channa (@thevinodchanna) In the accompanying video, Vinod said in Hindi, 'I will tell you how to plan your meal before and after a workout. Before a workout, you need energy and it depends on how much time you have. If you have half an hour then you need something that can be digested quickly. So fruits are the best source. They will be easily digested. Even if you have half an hour, it will get digested and be available in your body for energy. But if you have more time before a workout, and you are eating 1 or 1.5 hours before a workout, then you can eat both protein and carbohydrates.' He added, 'After a workout, you always need to have a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fibre. Your digestion will be good because of the fibre, carbs will help recover your energy and protein will aid in muscle recovery. If you eat only protein and no carbohydrates, then the protein will be utilised for energy and nothing will be left for recovery. So, while planning, always take scientific guidance.'
