Shah Rukh Khan shows off 8-pack abs at Google event, Salman Khan confesses he has none!

srk-abs-in-manwa-lageRecently, when the team of ‘Happy New Year’ visited the Google Headquarters, the audience was lucky to catch a quick glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan’s much talked about 8-pack abs. He was there to promote his latest film and was inevitably asked about his now-popular abs. In response to this, the actor simply lifted up his shirt to let the audience have a peek of them. The actor did confess that it required much dedication and hard work to get a physique like this but he did it for his good friend Farah Khan.


On the other hand, SRK’s Bollywood rival Salman Khan was also in the news a few days ago for abs, or the lack of them! A few images went viral where it was shown that his abs in Ek Tha Tiger were VFX-generated. He got a lot of flak for it and on recent episode of Bigg Boss — a reality TV show Salman hosts — he was asked about the same. The actor confessed that he did not have six or eight pack abs at the moment but he would soon be ready to flaunt his body without a shirt. But he did add that he follows his fitness regimen regularly. 



Abs or no abs, both actors are fit and do not compromise on their workout schedule despite inching closer to 50. Here’s a sneak peek at their fitness regimen. 


SRK’s fitness regime 


His workout consists of weight training along with working on his abs, at least four times a week, and he ensures he takes some rest between each weight training day. He does 30-60 minutes of running, jogging, cycling or aerobics every day, as part of his cardio workout. 


Shah Rukh Khan is also credited to have high energy levels as he is known to go on training continuously for an hour and a half without stopping. His personal fitness trainer, Prashant Sawant says, ‘He can run continuously at 15 kilometres an hour on the treadmill. No matter how tough the exercise is, he just goes at it and never falters. SRK can also maintain his balance very well and can easily jump over four-and-a-half-feet high hurdles which perhaps explain how he can do such perfect cartwheels.’


Salman’s fitness routine 


Salman’ workouts stretch to two hours which includes one hour of cardio. When he does strength training, he concentrates on two body parts on any particular day – biceps, triceps, legs, back or shoulders. 


Manish Advilkar, a professional bodybuilder and fitness trainer who has trained Salman for over six years says that the actor takes his regime very seriously. Manish also mentioned that the actor has a very tough cardio-vascular regime as well.


Salman cycles as and when he can and covers a distance of 50 km from Bandra to Panvel. He also can do 1000 push-ups or 2000 sit-ups and  500 crunches, pull-ups and chin-ups every day.
