Vijay, 52, who is leading a busy schedule as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, has revealed the reasons behind his fitness trainer Naresh Kumar's determination to remain fit and active at this age. 

He explained that instead of strict diet rules and expensive food methods, Vijay maintains his health with simple home-cooked meals and regular exercise. He clarified that this simple approach is his fitness mantra.

Vijay's daily routine is very consistent. He usually wakes up between 5:30 and 6 am. He has two idlis and eggs for breakfast at 9 am. 

He likes rice along with vegetables, fruits and protein-rich food for lunch. Dinner is very light. He mostly eats soup or salad.

He is not the type to force himself to eat tasteless food for fitness. He only eats his favorite traditional South Indian dishes in moderation. He completely avoids junk food. He occasionally enjoys his favorite mutton biryani. 

It is said that on some occasions, biryani is also served at dinners organized for his close friends. He also occasionally tastes traditional sweets like Sakkarai Pongal.

Along with diet, Vijay also gives equal importance to exercise. He does weight training with light weights and high repetitions along with walking, running, and cycling daily. If it is not possible to go to the gym, he increases his daily physical activity. 

He prefers to exercise consistently rather than doing intense workouts. His close friends say that this balanced lifestyle gives him the energy he needs to effectively carry out his responsibilities as the Chief Minister.
