Education

How did it all began?
Singh’s love for excellence in physical fitness began whenwas 16, “Watching movies and content on stunts always thrilled me. Seeing myfavourite actors doing callisthenics, I also wanted to try the same. Hence, Istarted with pushups. My day starts around 5.30 am, followed by two-hoursworkout. In the evening, I prefer to do cross fit workouts to keep myself agile.”
Expensive gym, personal trainer?
His impeccable physique has not been attained in someair-conditioned and trainer-led expensive gym. His make-shift gym at his cattle-shelterat his home in village Umarwala, Gurdaspur, Punjab is the place where gunny bags full of sandand cemented plastic cansserve as his equipment.
No dreams of moving abroad
Now, there is something about this man which separates him fromhis fellow Punjabis. He claims that he does not harbour love for foreign landslike Canada, UK, Australia, or USA.
Instead, “I want to encourage youth to do somethingdifferent in life. I try to motivate people to take up healthy lifestyle.Become an ambassador for your own cause, as that’s the only way you can make adifference.”
What can you and I learn?
Discipline of mind and body are the two enablers that willget us the body we desire.
Singh does not spend his time or money on gyms, but doeswhat is required, so you and I need to get our act together, and exerciseregularly.
Of course, we may not be able to lift as much weight asSingh, but we all have to start somewhere, right?
So, beginning or resuming our exercise regime will be adedication to Kuwar Amritbir Singh and will probably make him happy too as hewants to spread the message of physical fitness.
