Indian cricket team's star fast bowler and yorker expert Jasprit Bumrah celebrates his birthday on December 6 every year. Amassing attention for his agility and flexibility, the lad keeps his workout game on top with a variety of exercises, coupled with a diet routine that is both engaging and healthy. On this "Bumrahastic" day, let's tap into the cricket sensation's best-kept fitness secrets.
Bumrah does a combination of cardio and strength training
Bumrah is a dedicated fitness freak and his workout routine is massively based on cardio, agility exercises, and strength training. His major focus is on building strength, especially in his legs so that he can perform well on the pitch. For his upper body, the champion indulges in exercises that help him gain stability, form, and balance.
These are Bumrah's daily fitness exercises
Want to know Bumrah's daily exercises? Well, according to sources, his daily workout routine includes squats, deadlifts, lunges, pull-ups, and bench presses. He also does some plyometric exercises like hurdle jumps, box jumps, and medicine ball throws, all of which contribute to his agility.
The cricketer also enjoys running and swimming in equal measure
Bumrah's fun sweat sessions also include running and swimming on certain days. While running helps him reduce belly fat, improve speed, and enhance his energy levels and stamina, swimming helps him work on his muscle strength, endurance, and athleticism. No wonder he has a dreamy body! He also gives equal importance to rest and recovery as he focuses a lot on his sleep.
He keeps away from processed and sugary foods
To maintain his fitness levels, Bumrah steers clear of processed foods, sugary offerings, and alcohol. He instead consumes a lot of high-protein dishes including a medley of lentils and beans that aid muscle growth and stamina. The complex carbs in his favorite dietary foods like quinoa, brown rice, and sweet potatoes help him retain good energy levels throughout the day.
He wakes up early and drinks sufficient water
The 30-year-old cricketer hits the sack on time so that he can sleep for seven to eight hours daily and wake up early in the morning. During an event, Bumrah was quoted saying, "I try to sleep well. I believe if you start your day early, it gives you energy that carries you through the entire day." Well, we agree!
