The next exercise is the Sarvangasana which is also called the mother of all Yoga Exercises as it loosens up every limb in a person’s body. The last step Dhawan follows is he does Vrksasana (Tree Pose) that needs total control over one’s body and determination to succeed. It helps a person to improve the control over his / her every body part and balance the overall weight with ease.

Watch Your Step

This good-looking cricketer also perceives day to day food options as a big contributor in helping a person control his health issues. He believes that whenever one has to choose between delicious and tempting butter chicken (a popular and appetizing north Indian dish) and boiled vegetables, one should go for vegetables. After all, what you eat reflects directly on your body. So you would be smart to stick to the healthier options. Dhawan also keeps a close watch on his own weight and whenever he feels that he is gaining a few extra pounds, he hits the gym and works hard to get rid of it.
