Our guest for this episode has a very specific weekly routine.

Pilates - once a week.

Strength training - once a week.

Aqua therapy - once a week

Functional training, swimming, breathing exercises, meditating daily with just a little trouble

Golfing three times a week followed up with posture exercises

And very recently, experimenting with intermittent fasting.

Maybe you’re imagining a very specific type of person. A really fit, disciplined person – perhaps, a fitness influencer?

Well, you ‘re kind of right. You could say the person I’m talking about is very much an influencer. And he’s fit too.

He’s huge on LinkedIn, where he is part of the Top Voice program. On Twitter or X, he has close to a million followers. He’s very popular online.

So, really, if you think about it, he could turn into a fitness influencer if he wanted to.

But, here’s the thing. We're not talking about a young, health obsessed fitness influencer.

This is the routine of a 72-year-old, health obsessed, and I must add restless founder and Chairman of Marico, Harsh Mariwala.
