This instructor helps our cops turn from fat to fit for free

Javed Ansari (35), a fitness instructor, is on a mission to reduce the waistline of our cops and help them develop fitter bodies. What's even more amazing is that he does not want a single penny for his efforts.

"I plan to train our cops for free. I want to see them fit because a fitter cop means a stronger city," said Javed. Usually, he charges Rs 25,000 for his other clients.



The trainer has turned several cops from fat to fit and a strong word-of-mouth publicity has compelled several out-of-shape policemen to turn to him for help. At present, he is training 70 policemen from Bandra to Mira Road.

Losing 50 kgs

Javed's greatest accomplishment was when he helped two cops reduce 50 kgs in only two months. Constable Sandeep Sawant, who went from 90 kgs to 40 kgs and whose waistline reduced from 40 to 30 inches under Javed's guidance, told MiD DAY, "Nobody recognised me when I went to my village in Satara. People thought I was sick, but, in fact, I was healthier. Earlier, I didn't have the energy to work. But now, I can work more than 12 hours without any problems."

When Javed saw a constable work from 9 am to 2 am, he designed a special schedule for him. "I put him on a stringent diet and gave him a gruelling exercise plan. Other officers also joined the programme. I was amazed to see these officers follow my fitness routine without any hassles. I put them on a protein diet, asked them to do cardio for 45 minutes and suggested that they have green tea and abstain from smoking and alcohol. Constable Ashok C Thumbre of the Kandivli traffic police actually went from 120 kilos to 68 kilos in just two months," said Javed. He added, "Cops are more sincere than my regular clients."
