Rahul starts by telling us about how players need to focus on a goal before they begin shedding or putting on kilos. He says, “Players can start by doing functional training and weight training at home. If you compare working out at home to working out at the gym, I would suggest the latter as players would get more variations.”

Burpees, Jumping Jacks, Planks, Crunches, leg raises, step board exercises, mountain climbers, etc.

To maintain physical and mental health

Players must have a proper sleep cycle
Right nutrition intake at the right time is very crucial for players
Lastly, opting for yoga or meditation is one of the perfect solutions to boost concentration
