I am so delighted to have a fitness chat with Indian Cricketer PIYUSH CHAWLA over Kebabs and i get to know his fitness secrets all this right here
1.When did you start your fitness journey?
My fitness journey began when i was 10 years old and my father used to wake me up at 6 am and do Long runs and sprints in the stadium nearby.I especially remember this incident when 1 morning i refused to get up for a run as i wanted a day off and wanted to sleep being a sunday.My father got back dragged me out of bed at 11 am and made me do the rounds.It was 45 degrees but those were the formative years i realized the importance of fitness when i saw other district bowlers running out of breath bowling just 4-5 overs while i bowled 10/15 overs with ease
2-What is you Favorite workout
I run 20-30 mins every other day as i have a body type that gains muscle and weight very quickly.I also focus on a lot of body weight exercises along with Core workouts.I focus on cardio to keep lean
3-You have recently lost 7 kgs Please share the fitness secret
My weight loss is the result of Special training camp in South Africa before we started playing for the champions league.I did 26 sessions in 14 days which included a lot of gym,running and 35 kms of mountain biking that resulted in my weight loss.
4-Who is your role model
I follow Leg Spinner Shane warne.People think being lean is being fit but Shane warne has a strong body and very impressive endurance levels which makes him fit
5-Do you follow any particular diet
I believe in eating everything and not depriving myself. As an athlete i am on the field a lot and require massive energy the entire day.Any thing that i eat i burn off on the field or when i am working out.I eat right as i am training every day and do not like to ruin my workouts with faulty eating.It defeats the whole purpose of staying fit

I am a big fan of thai food and occasionally being a punjabi love butter chicken with naan

8- Anything special diet you follow before the game?
Before the match i just stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.I do not like to drink too many sugary energy drinks.
9-How many hours of sleep do you get?
Many a times i am travelling and i barely catch up with 4-5 hours of sleep or even less before the game but i am blessed to still wake up fresh and strong and perform on match days.The energy and the enthusiasm on the field gets me going
10-What is your fashion style on the field?
On field i have been with Reebok for 7 years and wear their sponsored gear.I am fond of good shoes and currently my shoes are sponsored by New Balance which are the best shoes i have worn till date
11-What is your fashion style off the field
I am a very casual person.I like to wear Tracks,or shorts Tees,Cap,Slippers in casuals.If i have a night out i go semi formal with denims and a jacket.I am not a tuxedo person.
