The general election is a key time for any politician. Apart from seeking votes, they focus on their health and using different measures to remain fit as campaigning can take a toll on their health.
For a politician, fitness during the election campaign plays a very important role. The day-in and the day-out campaign trail, meeting with voters, chat and strategy discussion with party workers requires a lot of stamina and physical fitness and can take a toll on the best of us.
Almost an entire day is spent while campaigning from morning till the wee hours of the night. It is not only a crucial time for them politically, but also holistically. As they have to ensure that this gruelling routine does not affect their health.
It would not be wrong to say that a politician forgets to eat and sleep during the election days.
My Medical Mantra spoke to Leader of Opposition Maharashtra Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde regarding his fitness routine.
Over the last five months, Dhananjay Munde has astonishingly shed 17 kilos. Earlier, he used to weigh 95 kilos and has now come down to 77 kilos.
Dhananjay Munde follows a strict regime despite the hectic political schedule
While speaking to My Medical Mantra, Dhananjay Munde, said, “In order to remain fit, I have focused on a strict diet and exercise regimen. In the month of December, I was weighing 95 kilos, but due to a strict fitness regime and diet, I have lost 17 kilos. Was that easy? No not, at all. It requires a tremendous mental toughness.”
He further said, “Every morning I do Yoga and Suryanamaskar (sun salutations). If I don’t get time to walk in the morning due to political campaigning, I make sure that I walk eight kilometres in the night. But, exercise alone will not work. One must follow a strict diet as well.”
