'Always do something that you enjoy. To achieve fitness one need not hit the gym. One can always opt for any sport, yoga, jog, swimming and much more. The idea is to do something that not only burns calories but relieves stress as well,' said Soman.

Fitness instructor Aamit, who owns Fx Zone gym in Noida, said: 'Every day I get queries from young boys about how to achieve six-pack abs and my only answer is that it takes dedication to get them first and after that loads of maintenance in terms of diet and regular exercise to retain it.

'If you stop exercising, within a few days you will lose what you have achieved after working so hard.'

Suniel, who is known as a fitness freak among his friends, says that other than regular exercise, people should also concentrate on their diet.

'For me it's breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper. I don't avoid any food and I eat as much as I like without stuffing myself. Every one should follow this rule.

'You don't have to shun junk food completely as one can always cheat on his diet on a weekend. Body too needs change and small good habits help one in the long run.'

He also advises people to stay away from steroids because he feels they could have a bad effect.

'One should always stay away from steroids because they don't do any good to your body. To achieve a sculpted body, one has to live a disciplined lifestyle that includes eating right meals, proper sleep and cutting down on carbohydrates and sweets,' he said.
