Sonu Sood, who is one of the fittest actors in Bollywood, is now prompting his gym mates to dedicate considerable time to stretching exercises. Interestingly, he imbibed this from Jackie Chan while working with the international star on their next action adventure. Though many fitness enthusiasts know how to perform the sitting split, Sonu not only learnt how to do the standing split, but is also making it popular.

The actor, who follows a strict diet, also ensures that he negates his 'cheating' days by burning the extra calories that he consumes. “Sometimes Sonu does indulge in an ice cream, but he's also quick to ensure that he burns those extra calories with his stretching exercise,“ says one of his gym mates, adding, “He has also inspired others to do stretching exercises and they are pleased with the result.“

Looks like 'split it like Sonu' is the new mantra at his neighbourhood gym.
