Working out with Kunal Rajput is as much an exercise in holding back swear words as it is in physical drill. A certified coach with Nike Training Club, he has designed a six-day fitness regime called The Movement, in which he pushes you to the hilt with every sprint, squat and plank. He sincerely believes, "You have no idea what your body is capable of."

Rajput's own beginnings to his current lean and mean shape were humble. "I was a sickly child: asthmatic and skinny. Because of that, my mum pushed me to do things out of my comfort zone. I went for swimming, skating, karate, basketball, athletics, track and field. Eventually, I grew fond of it, because who does not fall in love with sports?" After falling off the bandwagon in his teens, Rajput began pumping iron again, because, girls. "Like every 18-year-old guy who starts gymming for attention." His father, Daya Rajput, was a bodybuilder and owned a couple of gyms. "So, I got exposure to that kind of training, but it got repetitive at the same time. [The training for both] bodybuilding and kettlebells had a lot of gaps, so I started pursuing different training methods."
