Labourers working at construction sites or on civic projects, their lean, glistening bodies wearing little else than bermudas and a racer-back ganji, leave you wondering why the studs who amble to hi-tech gyms each morning, wouldn't make the half-way fitness mark these guys conquer every day.

Personal trainer, massage therapist, yoga instructor and proprietor of RAPTfx (Remedial Approach Personal Training-Enhancing performance through fitness), an Australian-based firm, Prameet Kotak, is set to mimic the everyday life of a manual labourer so that you can acquire the to-die-for muscles these guys sport matter-of-factly.
