How could I tell life this chapter is over and I\u2019ve won?\u201d In what he describes as a \u201cmoment of craziness,\u201d he decided to train for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthshots.com\/preventive-care\/self-care\/health-tests-before-running-a-marathon\/\">marathon<\/a>, a far cry from the doctor\u2019s advice. After ten months of disciplined training, he completed the half marathon but the finish line didn\u2019t feel like victory. \u201cI thought I would feel great about it. But I felt the opposite. I felt I had cheated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Explaining this feeling, Ankur noted, \u201cUp until that day, the maximum I had ever run was 14 kilometers. I could have shown up any day and finished the 21 kilometers without preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A journey from 26% body fat to six-pack abs<\/h2>\n<p>This realization led him to ask himself, \u201cWhat could I do for which I had to show up every day?\u201d and that is when he decided\u2014\u201d6-pack abs!\u201d At 33, with 26 percent body fat, Ankur overhauled his life. \u201cI had to change everything to reach &lt; 10% body fat. And I did\u2014diet, sleep schedule, fitness routine.\u201d Despite being a food lover, he followed an almost vegetarian diet and focused on healthy eating.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years later, in 2024, at the age of 44, he decided to repeat the journey\u2014just to prove to himself that it was not a one-time success. \u201cToday, I\u2019m 44 and fat-free,\u201d he proudly shared. His transformation is not just about building abs. It is about mindset, consistency, and resilience. \u201cGrateful for this \u2018second\u2019 life,\u201d Ankur ended his post with gratitude.<\/p>\n<h2>Ankur Warikoo lost 10 kgs, calls himself \u2018fat-free at 43\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Last year entrepreneur Ankur Warikoo shared his inspiring weight loss journey, revealing that he dropped 10 kilos in a year.
