Weight-loss is a struggle most people experience at a certain point of time in life, succeeding is a matter of determination and discipline. Easier said than done, shedding fat is the first on New Year’s list of things to do.

Teetering at a few kilos over 100kgs, Ayushman Joshi was far from the hunky heart throb he is today. Before the Manhunt, before the media coverage and popularity, Ayushman went through a massive and dramatic transformation.

Shedding weight in double digits is no joking matter, so he does deserve every bit of the credit for taking himself through such a transformation. But it does go to show that it is indeed possible.

Compound workouts are great to help in the fat loss process as well as gaining muscle. Pair it with some high intensity interval trainings for maximum impact.
