Staying in Shape Is a "Constant Process"
Bhumi is always working on herself. "I've lost over 35kg, after gaining 30kg for a film. Since then, it's been a constant process of improvement—but I didn't do it by starving myself," she told Vogue India. "I work really hard; it's become an active part of my routine. I like to mix it up—pilates, running, strength and weight training."
She Works Out Daily
"If you want something, don't wait for a Monday to begin working for it. Just show up," Pednekar told India Today. "I just woke up each day and showed up at the gym. I decided to never break this resolve, so there were days when I would merely take a steam and sauna and potter around. But I was there, soaking in the energy. There's no dearth of excuses when the motivation is down. I knew I had to push past this."
She Has a Healthy Morning Routine
"Running regularly and light exercises along with a balanced diet will help keep you active. Hence, I start my day with running followed by a healthy breakfast including foods like nuts, fruits that help maintain my energy levels and give me the boost of nutrition I need to go about my day," she revealed in another interview with Vogue India.
Exercise Is Her "Me Time"
"The hour or two I spend in the gym every morning is me time," she told Vogue. "It's not just physical, it's meditative too; I do a lot of thinking when I'm working out."
She Counts Steps
"I make sure to dedicate an hour to exercise daily and have made a resolution to complete 7,000-8,000 steps in a day so I don't feel lethargic. It may look difficult since you're indoors all the time but it's important to push yourself," she told Vogue. "Activity trackers can determine how far you've traveled and what type of movement you were doing, such as walking, jogging or swimming. And many activity trackers measure sleep quality and length, compute calorie intake and the number of calories burned, monitor your heart rate, check skin temperature and sweating levels, and serve as alarm clocks or watches. Some can even monitor your blood-oxygen levels. And many activity trackers can track your location," says the Mayo Clinic.
