At 70, Anand Mahindra treats his body like one of his SUVs — powerful yet finely tuned. His secret? A rotation of cardio, weights, yoga, and meditation that keeps both the engine and the mind running smooth. Experts say this mix is a masterclass in active aging — where strength meets stillness.
When most slow down, Mahindra picks up the dumbbells. Resistance training, he says, isn’t vanity — it’s longevity. Fitness coaches confirm that lifting twice a week can fight frailty, sharpen focus, and keep bones unbreakable, even past 70.
Instead of racing toward burnout, Mahindra swims through it — literally. His choice of low-impact cardio like swimming and ellipticals reflects a longevity-first philosophy: protect the joints, strengthen the heart, and never stop moving.
Mahindra’s yoga mat is his secret boardroom. Flexibility, both mental and physical, defines his leadership and his lifestyle. Studies link daily stretching to improved balance and posture — something CEOs and seniors both can’t afford to lose.
Before he conquers the day, Mahindra sits still. Twenty minutes of morning meditation, he says, resets his system like a reboot. Neuroscientists agree — regular meditation reduces cortisol levels and enhances decision-making clarity.
Forget biohacks and fad diets. Mahindra’s “rotating fitness schedule” is a reminder that simplicity and consistency outperform any miracle method. Experts call this structure “habit stacking” — a science-backed way to maintain momentum over decades.
Turning 70 isn’t a decline — it’s a redesign. By fusing meditation, muscle, and motion, Mahindra transforms aging from a loss of vitality into a gain in wisdom. Gerontologists say this integrative approach could redefine how India views senior fitness.
What’s rarer than a billionaire’s workout post? One that ends in silence. Mahindra’s blend of strength training and stillness challenges the macho fitness stereotype — proving that inner calm can build outer power.
For Mahindra, fitness isn’t about abs — it’s about agency. His mindful movement routine mirrors the ethos he’s built his empire on: resilience, balance, and responsibility. In an age of burnout, his mantra feels refreshingly human.
