In a world where ageing is often unfairly associated with slowing down, veteran Bollywood actor Ranjeet <\/a>is proving that the golden years can also be strong. The actor, who is in his mid-80s, shared a glimpse of his fitness routine in an April 5 Instagram video, highlighting a combination of discipline and targeted resistance training.

He wrote in his caption, “Agar aisa hi workout karuga, to hamesha fit rahuga (If I workout like this, I will always remain fit)\u2026 thanks to my coach and daughter.”<\/p>\n

Inside Ranjeet’s workout<\/p>\n

In the video, Ranjeet is seen performing cable chest flys, a classic isolation exercise that targets the pectoralis major (chest) and deltoids (shoulders). Unlike heavy bench presses<\/a>, the cable machine provides constant tension throughout the entire range of motion, which is often safer and more effective for joint health in older adults.<\/p>\n

His daughter, acting as his coach, highlighted posture and control over raw weight \u2014 a critical distinction for senior fitness. By keeping his shoulders down and focusing on the ‘squeeze’ at the centre, Ranjeet is maintaining muscle mass and functional upper-body strength.<\/p>\n

Why fitness is non-negotiable after 65<\/p>\n

Ranjeet\u2019s workout serves as a reminder that age is a number, but fitness is a choice. By focusing on controlled movements and consistency, he is setting a blueprint for ageing with grace, strength, and a bit of humour. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and various longitudinal studies highlight that physical activity for seniors isn’t just about looking fit; it is a clinical necessity for longevity and independence.<\/p>\n

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/a>, adults over 65 experience a natural decline in muscle mass known as sarcopenia. Without resistance training (like the cable flys Ranjeet is performing), seniors can lose up to 8 percent of their muscle mass per decade, according to Cleveland Clinic<\/a>. Strength training reverses this trend, significantly reducing the risk of falls and bone fractures.<\/p>\n

The WHO\u2019s global guidelines<\/a> for physical activity recommend that seniors aim for 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (like brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity (like jogging) per week. Mix it up and add balance exercises three or more days a week if you have mobility issues, and strength training two or more days a week to keep muscles strong.<\/p>\n
