There\u2019s just one mantra: no packaged foods,\u201d shares Sanjay.<\/p>\n<p>However, training is mixed with play and supervision. \u201cBasics need to be perfect, because otherwise you become injury-prone. I started with training Aarya to hold barbells correctly and the theory of powerlifting. Apart from that, sessions involve a 15-minute warm-up, a 30-minute dedicated workout and 15 minutes of playtime. But for Radhika, the training is very mild. Before bedtime, when we give them a massage, is when they let us know if they\u2019re feeling any pain; I immediately adjust the workout the next day,\u201d explains Sanjay. Being a powerlifter who had to give up the sport due to a spinal injury, he is careful to avoid overtraining.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s next for the weight-lifting prodigies? For now, they are competing in state-level competitions, but Sanjay does not have a big dream or goal in mind \u2013 instead wanting to push them as long as they want to keep going, stating, \u201cThe girls are well-versed in karate, and they\u2019re learning boxing. I believe starting at a young age keeps them active, flexible and they can choose anything they want to do in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newindianexpress.com\/cities\/bengaluru\/2026\/Jul\/13\/weightwhat-at-2-and-6-years-old-these-bluru-sisters-are-making-waves-in-powerlifting\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both training and diet, keeping in mind the kids\u2019 age is rooted in basics, following a Jain diet in line with family customs, but rich in curd, cheese, paneer, ghee and other vegetarian proteins. \u201cI\u2019m a believer in our traditional pehalwani and akhada systems, which are kid-friendly, with no additional supplementation at this stage.
