1. Practice yoga
The amazing left-handed batsman stresses on the importance of yoga. He says that yoga asanas might be tough-to-take in the beginning. But, overtime your body can develop the endurance required for the same. Learn them well and then you can practice them for life and keep yourself fit and healthy as ever.

4. Say no to oily food
When it comes to food, Raina is a fan of fresh and home-made meals. However, he does not prefer oily food and suggests his fans to do the same. No matter how delicious it looks; know the fact that oily food is not only making you fat, it is also stopping you from gaining the benefits of nutritional food.
5. Play games
And yes, he does not recommend only cricket!
Raina himself plays a number of other games like basketball, squash and badminton. Yes, the secret behind those quick reflexes you see on the field is the wide variety of games he plays.
6. Sleep well
Raina has continued the same sleeping pattern ever since he was a child. The same 8-hour sleep pattern is what keeps him energetic at all times. He says that is what you need to stay calm in times of pressure.
When it comes to fitness, losing weight and keeping in shape, Raina says that fitness comes from fitness. It is not about building shirt-tearing muscles and lifting heavy weight, it is about inspiring people to do the same so that the world is a happy and healthy place to live in.
