As compared to the west and US in particular, Indian health and fitness segment is at a different stage of evolution. Things are still evolving in India.

Now, we aim to bring everything which will add value in the world of health and fitness in India.

Please share a glimpse about P90X.

Lanre: P90X is a innovative and most advanced way to work out. It works on ideology of muscle confusion. Muscle confusion is said to prevent the body from adapting to exercises over time, resulting in continual improvement without plateau.

It is a 90-day program that combines a variety of exercise techniques, including strength training, cardio, yoga, plyometrics, and stretching. The program consists of a nutrition guide, fitness plan, calendar, and series of DVDs demonstrating a variety of techniques.

Being a celebrity trainer yourself, what is your mantra of health & fitness?

Lanre: I believe in an ideology that fitness is for everyone, not just those who can afford personal trainers. Hence I work on making fitness more accessible to the public. Secondly, it is extremely important for common people to understand fitness and get educated towards issues such as diet, physical exercise and nutritional values.
