Yuvraj talks about his passion for 'Running'!

What promises a healthier body and the perfect opportunity to catch up with fitness?  This is no infomercial. Running is considered as one of the best calorie-blasting workouts around. 

Yuvraj Thakur (currently seen in MTV Girls On Top) has savored this passion for a lot of years now. As the actor recently completed a run from Carter Road to Bandra Fort, we quizzed him about his passion for sprinting!

The well-built actor mentioned, "I love running. I believe it is a form of meditation. It helps one to build awareness and increases fitness too. While running, I challenge myself to exceed the number of kilometers I can complete in the stipulated time I set for myself. Personally, I have managed to run from Lokhandwala, Andheri to Carter Road, Bandra (12.5 kms) in 1 hour 7 minutes. 

A friend of mine is associated with Nike India and after an elaborated conversation with the brand, I am now associated with one of their initiatives which promotes running."

Elaborating on his passion, Yuvraj mentioned, "I still remember that I had fractured my hand at one instance and I was told not to run. I could not control and I cut my plaster off for running. I would like to advise people to run to make yourself fit. You may dislike it initially but once you start religiously, it will become a lifestyle for you rather than a mere fitness exercise."

Way to go Yuvraj!
