What efforts do you take to stay in shape?

I do a lot of exercise, I do cardio and cross fit training.

Are you conscious about your food choices?

I am a complete foodie, if something tasty and spicy is served on my table I can't control myself. Instead of starving I believe in working out more so that I lose weight.

Three things you do every day to remain fit:

1. Jogging.

2. Playing a sport.

3. Free weight exercise.

If the source is natural I avoid taking supplements.

A fitness tip for your fans?

Nowadays children don't play outdoor games they are busy in indoor games. I would advice children to go out to play because this will make you strong enough. I feel residing in village made me stronger because in this urban lifestyle you don't get a chance to play outdoor games.
