Amit, who had to gain 22 kgs for his role in an upcoming film, had to lose weight and build six-pack abs for 'Akira'. Now, it`s learnt that the talented actor doesn`t really need to sweat it out in the gym and is off weight training. And in a first, his intense fitness training routine will include aerial yoga as prep for the film.

The actor, who`s also an avid sports enthusiast and had participated in several international cycling competitions, will also take up cycling as part of his fitness regime.

"I have decided to go easy on my body. I`ve been cycling since several years now as I believe it`s one of the best forms of physical exercise and now I`ve started aerial yoga too which is regarded as the happiest and healthiest exercise form."
