Given that cricketers have over-packed schedules these days, incorporating fitness in their lifestyle is no easy job. So John Gloster, the former physiotherapist of the Indian cricket team and the current trainer for the Rajasthan Royals, has a big task at hand. But the man believes in smart time management and fitness that produces maximum results. And, he swears by Altitude Training and Pilates. He talks to CS +ve about his idea of fitness:

The right fit
The Rajasthan Royals as a team have greatly benefited from this form of fitness, especially Shane (Watson) who was down with major injuries a couple of years ago. He's one of the best all-rounders in the world now. Altitude Training has helped the team become more flexible, develop a better balance, get rid of those extra kilos and more. And the best part is that a 20-30 minute workout can produce results that would probably be achieved in an hour of heavy-duty gymming. I've never been a big fan of weights because I feel they only help you build muscles. But you need to do a lot more if you want to increase your overall fitness levels.u00a0
