Famous as one of the most dangerous and destructive batsmen, Chris Gayle can make or break any game all by himself. He is a true example of what can be called one-man army. Gayle has to work really hard to attain and maintain the position.
Like any famous and successful person, Gayle too has a role model. And he proudly tells the tale of how his career is inspired by a woman, his teacher and coach from his school, Kingston.
Workout routine
Looking at his fine set of abs and amazing his body transformation, it is evident that Gayle is a true fitness fan. He spends hours working out in the gym. He starts by warming up, light jogging and running followed by sprinting. And of course, cardio! In fact, he loves to dance, and that is his fun cardio exercise. He then proceeds to his gym workout. He also practices improving his batting and fielding skills in the field.
Almost all of his training is strength oriented. Leg strength is the most crucial aspect of a batsman. One needs a lot of running during the match to score quick runs. His strong focus is on his legs, muscles and abs.
Diet plan
Gayle makes sure he has a healthy and nutritious breakfast so that he gets a good start for the day. A major portion of his diet comprises fruits and vegetables. Having fresh fruit is important for a healthy stomach and hence, healthy body. He is also quite conscious about keeping his body hydrated, be it with water, juice, lemonade or any other healthy fluids.
He does cheat on his meals some days and pasta is his go-to food. When asked by an Indian reporter about his views on Indian food, he humorously said, “I love India, but I try to steer clear of Indian food as it is too damn spicy for me!” You also have to take care of too much spice in your food. Excess of anything makes it unhealthy.
