Though not a fitness freak, he does work out four to five days a week to maintain his physique. He believes in being healthy rather than muscular but stars often have to change their build to suit the character they play onscreen. He exercises for two days at a stretch, gives his body a day’s rest and then repeats the norm. He does yoga once or twice every week to work on his flexibility.

Emraan’s workout regimen lasts for an hour and includes strength training, cardio and weights. This is enough to keep him in good shape as he is a very disciplined eater. He hasn’t had a slice of pizza since a long time. He also does not indulge in other junk food, alcohol or sweets. He believes in eating small meals throughout the day than eating large ones at a time and so his diet plan consists of having five to six meals in a day. His meals include chicken, oats, fruits, chapattis, dals, egg whites, bread, butter and fish.

His fitness mantra is simple – eat well, rest well and exercise regularly to be fit and that is exactly what he does. He tries to sleep for at least seven hours every day to remain fresh and active and looking at his physique, it is evident that he is very disciplined when it comes to staying fit.
