Running: He stated in healthyceleb.com, “You should at least run 3 miles daily to keep yourself fit and active. You don’t need to run on a treadmill only. Rather it would be better if you would run around the neighborhood and especially in the morning as it would allow you to take in a lot of fresh air regularly. The fresh air would keep you healthy and a good run would clean out all drowsiness from your eyes and make you alert and ready to face the day.”

Suryanamaskar and Meditation: The red ball vice-captain Rahane loves doing Surya Namaskar and Meditation every morning. It keeps him calm and builds his composure. He says, “You must have a healthy and positive state of mind during practice. I try to maintain that each time I step in to bat. For me, visualization is the key. Simulating a match situation in my head each time I bat during practice helps me. In the end, the finer things you do each day count.”

Karate: Rahane started taking an interest in Karate at the very young age of 6. He went on to become a black belt at the age of 11. He opined that performing karate during his early days has helped him a lot.
