Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal credits an early-rising, six-day training schedule and disciplined, light eating for her on-court consistency.

Her training & workout
Saina trains six days a week, rising early and getting onto court soon after breakfast. Her conditioning mixes inclined walking and running on alternating days for roughly 20 to 30 minutes, alongside weight work built around lunges and deadlifts, plus running and crunches to keep her legs and core strong. (As reported by Kreedon.)
Her diet
She leans on steamed food and salads and prefers to finish dinner before about 7:30 in the evening. Rather than banning treats, she plans indulgences mid-week and on Sunday, then follows them with a session a couple of hours later. (As reported by TheHealthSite.)
Recovery & mind
Saina treats discipline as the foundation of her success, holding to the same routine day after day unless something truly requires a change. That steadiness, she has said, is what keeps her motivated and performing over a long career.
