Running

Fitness is constant rest is temporary in Milind’s life. He has got this from his mother who is 80+ and runs a marathon! You’ll always find him running either on the busy streets of a city or by a seashore or a rocky mountain track. Running is his passion which made him win several accolades. He ran his first marathon 15 years ago and since then, he is unstoppable. This might surprise you but those washboard abs and toned muscles he’s got are not made in the gym! To top it all, he runs barefoot most of the times.
