Akshay Kumar Fitness is getting better as the year is passing more but how? We dug up some of the actor’s favourite workouts via his Instagram accounts and listed 8 easy exercises he practices that you can practice in your own sessions. no doubt you can start your fitness journey by just following Akshay Kumar Fitness tips. Check the exercises out below:

1. Play a sport, no matter what it is
 
If the last time you remember picking up a ball and tossing it around was back in college (or even worse, in high school) it’s time you start playing your favourite sport(s) again. This way, you’ll help increase your physical activity which will ultimately lead to weight loss.

2. Take your swimming skills to the next level
 
You know how to swim. Great. But while swimming helps tone your muscles and promotes weight loss in the long run, there’s another way you can challenge yourself the next time you take a dip in the pool. Try out this exercise using weights while swimming just like Akshay Kumar did. According to Akshay Kumar Workout Tips, it’s a great leg workout and also helps in overall core building.

3. Skip the hula hoop, try this instead
 
If you’ve played with the hula hoop as a kid (and enjoyed it), this exercise will prove to be as easy as it is effective. Swap the hoop with the same large wooden bead chain that you would use for your neck exercise and perform the activity in the same manner, by rotating the chain around your abdomen. It’s an excellent aerobic activity and is good for strength training. Just 30 minutes of performing this exercise could burn up to 200 calories in men. Core training is also good for your back and stomach muscles.

4. Don’t neglect those neck exercises
 
While there are various exercises for your neck — such as rotations, shaking your head from side to side etc — this outdoor neck exercise with the help of a large chain made of wooden beads is super effective in strengthening your neck muscles. It’s also a good relaxation technique. According to the Bollywood star, outdoor exercises like these, especially in the mornings, help to kick off your day in the best possible way — physically and otherwise.

5. Sharpen your kickboxing moves
 
Kickboxing can help you burn calories as much as any other regular exercise. Kickboxing moves are high power and can aid in weight loss since they help attain the state of caloric deficit. Additionally, the resistance training that these exercises incorporate also helps build muscle.

6. Try walking on your hands
 
Not only does walking on your hands make you more flexible and fit, but it also improves your stability and concentration. However, if you’re a beginner, try crab walking. Which is essentially walking backwards on all fours with your face up above the ground. This exercise strengthens your hamstrings, triceps, shoulders as well as abdominal muscles. It’s also good cardiovascular exercise.

7. Never underestimate the importance of warm-ups
 
Most people neglect warm-up exercises and directly skip to the actual workout session with the intention of ‘saving time’. But very first Akshay Kumar workout tips include warmup exercises. While you may think warm-ups aren’t as effective as your main exercises, you couldn’t be more mistaken. The function of warm-ups is to bring your body temperature and heart rate to a level from where you can begin your actual exercises. Additionally, it prepares your muscles for the upcoming workout.

8. Make some time for yoga
 
While yoga is not a direct way to lose weight, it relieves you of stress. And once your stress levels reduce, you will automatically witness a positive change in your body. Yoga exercises do not burn as many calories as walking or jogging do, but they contribute toward calorie burn.

9. Take up some combat training
 
Combat training includes a series of exercises such as boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu etc. Now, different types of training require different positions and areas of strength for conditioning, you can mix the exercises you are most comfortable in performing in your combat training routine for the best possible results.

10. Train your triceps
 
If you want to strengthen your triceps, perform a triceps extension on the pommel horse (a gymnastics apparatus), overhead barbell triceps extension, triceps pull-down or tricep dips on a single bar placed on the floor. These exercises should get you bulked up.
