Happy birthday, Ravindra Jadeja! Revealing the all-rounder cricketer's fitness secrets
On December 6, 1988, a dynamic all-rounder cricketer was born who has taken the world by storm with his incredible performance on the pitch. Well, we are talking about the Indian cricket team's pride Ravindra Jadeja, whose athletic prowess is a result of an intense fitness routine and a disciplined lifestyle. On his birthday, let's take a look at his choicest fitness secrets.
Jadeja is a gym enthusiast; works out 5-6 days weekly
If not on the pitch and at home, you are most likely to find Jadega at the gym as he is a total workout freak. Per reports, he invests five to six days every week in his fitness and ensures that he remains consistent in his sweat sessions. The lad enjoys a combination of cardio exercises and strength training in multiple variations.
He is also in weight training to build muscle mass
Apart from cardio and strength training, the cricketer also indulges in weight training exercises, primarily to develop some muscle mass and build endurance. He also does some compound exercises using barbells and dumbbells to maximize his output. Additionally, his workout routine includes a variety of bodyweight exercises that contribute to his overall stamina, core strength, and athleticism.
The cricketer's diet comprises proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbs
For Jadeja, diet plays an equally important role in helping him stay in fine fettle. According to sources, his routine includes an array of dishes loaded with proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, which offer him sufficient calories to sustain his cricket performance. He also avoids savoring processed and sugary foods, and fried dishes that have empty calories.
He focuses on breakfast and dinner but skips lunch
Contrary to the popular belief of having three meals a day, Jadeja instead focuses on eating his breakfast and dinner right. Reportedly, he skips his lunch as his breakfast is heavy and is followed by some light, healthy snacks during the day. The athlete regulates portion sizes and refrains from overindulgence. He also consumes a lot of water to stay hydrated throughout the day.
