Just jogging

Actor Aditya Pancholi is looking super fit in his upcoming film Striker. The health-conscious actor believes in making his workouts fun. He shares his fitness regime with CS:



Healthy and wise
Fitness is a very important aspect of my life. As they say, health is wealth. I follow a proper fitness routine for five-six days a week. Though I'm not too strict about my diet, I try to eat healthy most of the times. As an actor, it's important to be fit as you have to work under trying conditions.u00a0

My exercise schedule...
I have never been to the gym in my entire life. I don't enjoy gym workouts and building biceps isn't important for me. However, I jog daily for an hour either at the park, beach or on the treadmill. I cover a distance of six kms by jogging. It is a great cardio workout and one needn't do anything else.

Ga-ga over yoga
This exercise takes care of your mind and body. I have a yoga trainer coming to my place daily. I practise all the asanas and pranayams under his guidance. Yoga is great for your lungs, stomach, legs and heart. I do a lot of breathing exercises. Yoga helps me de-stress and think in a balanced manner.

Bowled over
In my school days, I used to play cricket and football. I still play these sports but only when my friends are getting together for a match. But whenever I see someone playing cricket in front of me, I want to join in.

Balanced diet
I prefer home-made food to the usual take-aways. If I am home, I make it a point to eat an early dinner. I avoid oily, fatty food and desserts. I try to restrict my carbohydrate intake at night, so I generally stay away from rice. Fruits and juices are a daily part of my diet. In the past few years, I have cut down considerably on smoking and drinking too.

Health secrets
It's important to follow a proper diet. Make sure that your body gets adequate rest at all times. Don't follow exercises just because your friends are doing them. Have a fitness regime that you enjoy and can follow. And always think positive.
