Neeraj Chopra's Diet And Fitness: Kerala Connection, Tabata Workout, Intense HIIT, 'Desi' Cheat Meal

Neeraj Chopra is the reigning Olympic and World Champion in the Men's Javelin throw. The 26-year-old Javelin thrower set a series of records after winning the gold medal in the Men's Javelin Throw at the Tokyo Olympics 2020. Neeraj made his Olympic debut in Tokyo, and no one expected him to win a medal, as India had never won a medal at track-and-field events at the Olympic Games.

Unexpectedly, Neeraj Chopra surprised an entire nation when his Javelin fell on the staggering mark of 87.58 m, which resulted in India's first individual gold medal at the Olympics after Abhinav Bindra at Beijing Olympics 2008. It was India's first medal in Javelin throw as Neeraj became the first Asian athlete to win a gold medal in this particular sport. With so many records to his name, Neeraj Chopra stepped onto the ground once again at the Paris Olympics 2024 on August 6, 2024, for the qualification round.

After Vinesh Phogat's disqualification, Mirabai Chanu's fourth-place finish, and the Men's Hockey Team's loss in the semi-final, all eyes are on Neeraj Chopra now.  Undoubtedly, there's so much added pressure on his shoulders to give some relief to the entire nation, who have seen enough heartbreaks at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Coming to Neeraj Chopra's lunch, he eats rice, pulses, salad, either salmon fish or grilled chicken. Neeraj wasn't a non-vegetarian initially, but he added non-vegetarian food to his diet due to the demand for high-intensity training methods. Talking about the last meal of the day, Neeraj prefers a lighter meal for dinner that usually has boiled vegetables, fruits, and soups. For the uninitiated, Neeraj's diet plan has a strong connection with Kerala. The Javelin thrower drinks plenty of coconut water every single day, which is considered as Kerala's official drink.

Neeraj Chopra spends 7-8 hours on his fitness routine, which heavily relies on strength training and extensive work with medicine balls. Some of the notable exercises include cable pulls, side lifts with dumbbells, oblique crunches, Swiss ball crunches, and leg lifts, which ensure his arms, elbows, and legs are in optimal condition. For the uninitiated, Swiss ball crunches are performed with the help of a medicine ball and are one of the most important exercises in Neeraj's fitness routine as they help him strengthen his core, lower back, and hips.

Tabata workouts are performed mostly with your body weight, which improves cardio endurance and aerobic fitness. Another important part of Neeraj's workout routine is the High-intensity interval training (HIIT), which is performed for just 20 seconds but has a circuit of 10 different exercises. After each circuit, Neeraj takes a 10-15 seconds break and starts another circuit.

In order to recover from the intense training, Neeraj Chopra takes an adequate amount of sleep to ensure he doesn't exhaust himself. When it comes to cheat meals, the only thing that Neeraj craves the most is churma. For the unversed, it is a Haryanvi delicacy made of crushed rotis, sugar, and ghee. Apart from this, Neeraj also loves golgappas and Indian sweets. We wish Neeraj to set new records, win more medals and keep his simplicity intact.
