Milind is a lover of nature. In an earlier Instagram post, in which he was seen doing pull-ups from a pole in the midst of nature, he introduced us to the concept of ‘forest bathing’. A Japanese practise, ‘forest bathing’ is a form of nature therapy to boost physical and mental well-being. In his latest video too, he chose to workout amid green pastures.
