Mysuru: Bike expedition, pumping the iron regularly and long bicycle expedition are all old hat for Dynamic Dayanand aka B. Dayanand, Mysuru Police Commissioner. The top cop, who seem not have had enough of the adrenaline rush in his dangerous and critical job, is hungry for more.
He took up sky diving and sky riding recently, while he is also a regular at rafting circuit for the last two weeks. The journey that began with his pursuit to lose 20 kg of excess weight has now turned into a passion, especially his gym workouts. He squeezes one-and-a-half hours from his busy schedule to pump iron at an ultra-modern gym at Jayalakshmipuram.

Within a few months, he has transformed himself into a muscle man. On his diet and weight loss, he says, “The diet is more important than the exercise. We should eat intelligently. If you want to lose weight, exercise contributes only 40 per cent, while the rest through diet.”
He has also been cycling 50-60 km on Sunday mornings and hits the Nanjangud Road and Bannur Road. He also climbs the steps of Chamundi Hills on alternate days. One recent Sunday morning, he jumped from 12,000 feet. “It was breathtaking and I enjoyed it,” he reacts.
Over the last two weeks, he has been trying his hand at river rafting. He went to Kushalnagar the previous week, while this weekend he rowed at Bheemeshwari Fishing and Nature Camp. He also enjoys horse riding and is all set to ride it during the Dasara Jumboo Savari this year.
