If you want to stay in shape like Neha, mix up your workouts. "My workout regime is a mix of weight training and Pilates. Weight training twice a week, Pilates every alternate day and functional once a week. I try and run for at least 15 minutes daily or jump rope," she told Times of India. "When I get bored of my exercise regime after a couple of months, I either take to swimming or yoga or a dance form for a little bit before I get back to the same routine."

"I try to keep a balance by eating super healthy the whole week with two binging days where I eat what I want," Neha explained to Times of India about her approach to diet. "Breakfast usually is a mixed fruit bowl, eggs or oats and a glass of orange juice. Once in a while, when I crave for sugars in the morning I eat blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. For lunch, I eat small portions of everything, greens, protein with brown rice or roti. In the evening, I have a cup of green tea with a light sandwich. For hunger pangs, I keep black grapes handy. I like to have an early dinner with a soup, either a carrot and pumpkin soup or a chicken clear soup, with my version of Caesar salad with smoked turkey and grilled fish or chicken." 

Neha indulges in the occasional cheat day "There are good days when I am disciplined and I follow my diet plan strictly and there are lazy days when I eat chocolates, doughnuts and ice creams," she told Times of India. For a snack? "Almonds, cashews, filberts, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, and pistachios pack plenty of beneficial nutrients, including vitamin E, folic acid, potassium, and fiber. Although many nuts are high in fat, the fat is mainly unsaturated — a great choice to help you eat healthy," says Harvard Health.

Neha explained to Times of India that she understands exactly where she gains weight first, which helps her lose it. "I gain weight quickly on my lower abs and thighs so I work them out a lot more. I gain and lose weight very easily, so it takes me a week to get back into the desired shape. My hips and shoulders always look great," she said. 

Neha's workout of choice? High intensity interval training. "Slowly but surely will get there..#weekend #fitnessmotivation #thestruggleisreal," she captioned a recent video of her workout routine. In it, she does several exercises with a trainer, including weight lifting, pullups, and rowing. "HIIT is a type of interval training exercise. It incorporates several rounds that alternate between several minutes of high intensity movements to significantly increase the heart rate to at least 80% of one's maximum heart rate, followed by short periods of lower intensity movements. Interval training was first introduced in the 1950s as a higher intensity form called sprint interval training, which reached 100% maximum heart rate and was used to improve the performance of elite Olympic athletes," says Harvard Health.
