Health and fitness are two sides of the same coin. “Fitness is the outcome of a healthy mind-body-self that holds the power to thrive in every kind of challenging situation and drive concurrent times according to the will of its possessor,” says Dr Abhishek Gilara, who is an ardent fitness enthusiast.
He continues that true fitness transcends mere physical strength. It encompasses a harmonious integration of physical, mental, and emotional well-being. A truly fit individual possesses not only physical vitality but also mental fortitude, emotional resilience, and a strong sense of self. This holistic well-being equips them to navigate life’s challenges with grace and determination, adapt to changing circumstances, and overcome obstacles with resilience.
A healthy mind, free from the shackles of stress and anxiety, allows for clear thinking, focused decision-making, and increased creativity. A healthy body provides the energy and vitality to pursue one’s goals with vigour and enthusiasm. A healthy self, grounded in self-awareness, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose, provides the inner strength to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and integrity.
Furthermore, this integrated state of well-being empowers individuals to not merely survive but to thrive in challenging situations. It allows them to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, overcome adversity, and emerge stronger from life’s trials. This inner strength enables individuals to not merely react to the challenges of their time but to actively shape their own destiny, driving the course of their lives and contributing meaningfully to the world around them.
In essence, says Dr Abhishek that true fitness is not just about physical appearance; it’s about cultivating a holistic well-being that empowers individuals to live life to the fullest, achieve their goals, and make a positive impact on the world. It’s about harnessing the power of the mind, body, and spirit to create a life of purpose, joy, and fulfilment.
“Fitness isn’t just about how you look in the mirror; it’s a way of respecting the body God gifted you with. My Definition of Fit: FIT equals to ‘Forever In Transformation.’ To me, being fit is not about reaching a destination—it’s about constantly evolving, pushing boundaries, and embracing change. It’s a journey of continuous self-improvement, where every challenge becomes an opportunity for growth. This mindset keeps me striving, adapting, and transforming, both physically and mentally, every single day. Thus, to remain fittest, one must be passionate about the self and the surroundings in which the self is immersed,” adds Dr Abhishek, recognized internationally as the most passionate leader to watch in 2025.
