Preity Zinta is an actress, known for her work in Hindi films. Zinta has appeared in films like, Dil Se, Soldier, Heaven On Earth, and Armaan. In a recent Instagram post, Zinta decided to hit the gym. She put on a t-shirt, hoodie, and yoga pants, looking ready to sweat. Zinta captioned the photo, “Back in the Bay. Back to work.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Preity Zinta stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Yoga

Zinta shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is practice yoga. Zinta shared these photos of herself in different poses. She captioned the post, “Yoga is the best thing for your health & for your mental health. Indoors or outdoors all you need is the intent to do something for yourself to feel better & live a longer, healthier & happier life.”

2. She Does Pilates

Another thing Zinta does to stay in shape is practice Pilates. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing stretches on equipment and with the help of a trainer. Zinta captioned the post, “Travelling across continents & across India on various flights has been tough on the body. I can handle jet lag but not a stiff back. Thank god for Pilates. Nothing a good stretch cannot fix. Thank you Yas for always watching my back. Love you loads.”

3. She Works Out With Others

Zinta doesn’t always like to workout alone. She is often seen working out with a trainer or friend. Zinta shared this gym video on Instagram of herself working with someone else. She captioned the post, “Back in the Gym after a while. What better motivation than a buddy workout with my darling Su ❤️ Thank you for pushing me & thank you for doing this workout with me.”

4. She Works Her Abs

Zinta works out her entire body. Including her abs. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing core workouts. In it, Zinta is seen doing candlesticks. She captioned the post, “Back to the gym. After going out non stop for a week. It’s time to calm down & work on my core.” The Mayo Clinic states that ab and core workouts are important. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

5. She Hikes

Zinta likes to go hiking to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself and her husband after hiking Machu Picchu. Zinta captioned the photos, “Us after a 16km uphill hike on the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu 😍 Wow !!! What a view… What a hike!” The National Parks Service states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between. Check out all of these physical benefits of hiking: Building stronger muscles and bones. Improving your sense of balance. Improving your heart health. Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.”

Preity Zinta is doing sit ups – in her two–piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Indian actress and entrepreneur, 49, flaunts her amazing figure during a sweat session. “It doesn’t matter if you are on holiday or at work, you have to make yourself better, stronger and healthier cuz if it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you 👊 So don’t give up, be consistent & push your self. There is no better love than self love ❤️ A very Happy & Healthy 2025 to all of you,” she captioned the Instagram video with her followers. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Healthy Diet

Preity stresses the importance of a healthy diet. “It doesn't matter how much U exercise if U cannot control ur diet. Losing weight is 70% diet & 30% exercise,” she once wrote on X. “Eat smaller portions of food and at least six to seven small meals,” she added in another, per India Today. “Avoid too much starch and carbohydrates like white bread, pasta and rice. Go for whole wheat or whole grains and brown bread.” Also, it’s how you eat that matters. “Eat slowly and chew a lot. Also sit down and enjoy your meal. Eating fast means eating a lot with very little satisfaction.”

Drinking Lots of Water

Hydration is a big part of overall health, says Preity. “Drink lots of water,” she wrote on Twitter. “Drink at least two glasses of water when you wake up.” Fruit juice is not part of her hydration strategy. “Fruit juices have too much sugar in them. Too much sugar and salt are terrible for you,” she said. The Mayo Clinic explains that hydration helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Cheat Days for Diet Maintenance

Preity is an advocate of cheat days, claiming that they help her stay on track the rest of the time. “Eat whatever you want in one day so it's ur cheat day. This helps you to maintain your diet for the week,” she said on Twitter.

Pilates

Preity is also a fan of Pilates, which “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health,” per Mayo Clinic. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Dance Cardio

Preity is a fan of dancing. “Try dancing to your favorite song five times in a row...If you can bounce up and down five times in a row your cardio for the day is done,” she suggests. Dancing helps build strength and promote flexibility, and also may aid in weight loss and promote cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Exercising in the Morning

Preity does fasted workouts. “Try exercising in the morning on an empty stomach. If you cannot do any exercise then at least go for a walk. Brisk walk is amazing for you,” she suggested. Science agrees. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia is a very successful actress. She is known for her role in the TV series, Choti Sarrdaarni. Ahluwalia also appeared on the reality series, Bigg Boss. She recently met up with her friends for a gym day. They shared a photo on all three of their Instagram accounts from the day. They all wore sets of black workout gear, showing off their figures. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Chin-Ups

Ahluwalia shared this video on Instagram of herself working out in the gym. In it, she is seen doing chin-ups. According to ACE Fitness, chin-ups are a great exercise. “The primary benefits of the chin-up are increasing strength and definition of the upper arms, specifically the biceps, the posterior deltoids of the shoulders and the teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles of the back. Additionally, holding on to a bar and being able to do chin-ups helps develop crushing grip strength, which can come in handy for opening stubborn jars or having an impressive handshake.”

2. She Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Ahluwalia is seen doing strength training exercises like lifting dumbbells and pulley rows. According to The Mayo Clinic, exercises like these have a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

3. She Wants To Help Others

Ahluwalia wants to help others. She shared this video on Instagram calling for young people to be educated on menstruation. She captioned the post, “As women, we tend to go through different kinds of hormonal imbalances affecting our health; physically and mentally. Irregular periods can be a sign of poor health and so educating ourselves and girls and women around us is important. Let us include ‘Period’ in school education. You too can contribute by signing the petition.”

4. She Doesn’t Stress About Her Diet

In an interview with IANS, Ahluwalia talked about the importance of not stressing about her diet and weight. “Many of us focus too much on the number of kilos lost. I realised it is more than just the number on the scale; it is about feeling healthier and stronger. This transformation has been about internal changes, and I feel that energy is now radiating outward. Currently, I eat carbs in a very controlled way, just focusing on a high-protein and low-carb diet. I also try to have dinner early and avoid eating anything afterward.”

5. She Boxes

“Throwing a punch works your entire body, from your arms and shoulders all the way to your core and legs,” physical therapist James Edwards, DPT says to the Cleveland Clinic, which adds "The conditioning exercises in fitness boxing classes also use a whole-body approach. You’ll tone muscles you never knew you had!:

Andrea Shaw, an accomplished and highly regarded bodybuilder, is back in the gym, inspiring her followers with another intense training session. In a recent Instagram video, Shaw showcases her impressive strength as she works through various exercises using hand dumbbells and machines. “Back to work with @k.j.kreates 🎥 💪🏾🙌🏾 and @mutantnation,” she captioned the post. Known for her dedication to building solid, shapely muscle, Shaw consistently shares her favorite workouts with her followers, offering a glimpse into the discipline required to compete at the highest level of bodybuilding. From chest presses to shoulder raises, her routine focuses on strength, symmetry, and muscle definition. Shaw also emphasizes the importance of patience and personalized training, noting that mastering your body takes time. Here’s a look at the exercises Shaw incorporates into her routine and the wisdom she’s gained from years of experience in the sport.

1. She Uses Weights

Shaw shared some of her fitness secrets with Muscle & Fitness. She says that she likes to lift weights. “I want to build as much solid muscle mass as I can,” she said. “And that means working with heavy weight all the time. But I want shapely muscle, not the kind of slab muscle you see with a powerlifter. So, I have always kept the reps high.”

2. She Works Her Chest

Shaw shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. In many of them, she focuses on a specific body part. Shaw shared her favorite chest exercises in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “Chest workout. 💪🏾 Hammer Strength Chest Press. Dumbbell Incline Press. Cable Incline Pec Fly. Seated Tricep Press/Pushdowns. 1 Arm Hammer Strength Chest Press. Low Pulley Pec Fly. Cable Chest Flys (Flat). Dumbbell Chest Press (Flat).”

3. She Works Her Shoulders

Shaw shared her favorite shoulder exercises in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “Today’s shoulder 💪🏾 workout: 1. Angled Deltoid Raises (Dumbbells). 2. Incline Bench Front Raises (Barbell). 3. Forward Leaning Front Raises (Barbell). 4. Side Lying Lateral Raise (Dumbbell). 5. Alternating Front Raises (Dumbbell). 6. Tilted Cable Front Raises (Cable Pulley)”

1. She Knows What Works For Her

Shaw talked about developing a specific training style with Muscle & Fitness. “I started out with a more conventional approach to training,” she says. “It was only after many years of working out that I developed my individual approach. It took a long time for me to learn my body. I may very well make changes to my routine in the future. I will go by how I feel and what progress I am making.”

5. She’s Patient

For Shaw, bodybuilding is all about patience. She advised other aspiring bodybuilders to be the same way in her Muscle & Fitness interview. “You can’t really peak that often,” she advises. “And when you try, it means you are slowing down your path to ultimate genetic potential. You can’t really grow when you are on a severe diet all the time.”

Bruna Luccas is ready to sweat – in her workout onesie. In a new social media post, the influencer and model flaunts her famous assets in an exercise outfit with a plunging neckline. “Jaja just kidding,” she captioned the Instagram clip. “Gorgeous,” commented one of her followers. “Beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Loves Food or She Eats A Lot or She Doesn't Diet ?

Bruna eats a lot. "People don't believe that I can eat eight slices of pizza," she told Cosmo. She eats out regularly, with the exception of breakfast (Great Grains cereal and milk and a banana.) An average post-workout meal would be tilapia in taco form with chips and salsa. Four times a week, she will have pizza, a burger and fries, or fish tacos with chips and salsa. Other staples include rice and beans, and meats like beef. “I don’t do diets — I eat like any other person,” she says. "I love ice cream!"

Bruna told Cosmopolitan that she is a jiu-jitsu green belt.

Her Workout Routine

Luccas hits the gym early in the morning or late at night, alternating between upper and lower-body workouts. She warms up on the stair-stepper. She also religiously does a four-squat series holding a barbell she loads with two 20-pound plates. It includes three sets of 15 reps of a narrow squat, feet together, a wide squat, feet about hips-distance apar, a sumo squat, her feet extra wide and toes pointed outward, and a narrow squat pulse.

Focus On Your Own Body or Do Whatever Makes You Happy ?

Bruna understands that every body is different and what works for one person might not work for another. "I only know what’s good for my body," she says of her healthy habits. "Girls should focus on their own bodies. You should do whatever makes you happy."

Strength Training

Bruna hits the gym for hardcore workouts. “I’ve always had good genetics, but sports and the gym definitely helped me get in shape,” she told Cosmo, revealing that she started hitting the gym at 15 when she'd model her mom’s full-body fitness routine. “It made me feel so good about myself."

Camila Guper is breaking a sweat – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a onesie while doing a series of exercises at the gym. “Second training of the day,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Consistency

Camila stresses the importance of consistency. “You don't need to do the most amazing training in the world, you just need to be consistent in your training! You don't need to follow the best diet in the world, you need to learn how to eat... Of course, if you go to the best nutritionist in the world, that's great, but I know many people who have access to the best of everything and don't get the desired results! So what do you really need??? I believe it is an unshakable desire to achieve the health of your dreams, the body of your dreams. Your nutritionist will give you a diet, but you are the one who will follow it or not. Your personal trainer will give you the training, but you are the one who will do it with determination, without being on your cell phone all the time. So don't outsource the guilt of not being able to do it, and you need to change your habits and your daily choices!” she writes in a post.

Reading

Camila enjoys reading. She recently shared a photo of the “incredible book” she read. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

Her Formula for Great Abs

When her fans asked Camila to share “abdominal exercises,” she revealed the truth about what it takes to achieve a flat midsection. “IMPORTANT to remember that a defined abdomen is a combination of exercise and diet (clean eating. ) Today there was also a back and biceps workout. Guys it's important to strengthen the whole body. When you do a squat, you can be sure that you are using it, activating your abdominal, strengthening it!” she said.

Tennis

Camila enjoys playing tennis. “Today was a day to let loose in tennis,” she writes. According to ACE Fitness, it blends cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility, and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

Cycling

Camila also cycles. “Today's training was 25 km on the bike,” she wrote in a post. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is excellent for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Heidi Klum looks and feels a fraction of her age at 51. “I’ve said many times, ‘I probably will be walking around at 70 if I feel like it, still with a mini skirt if I want to show my legs,’” she told Alex Cooper on Call Me Daddy. “At the end of the day, I still look in the mirror and I feel good about myself. I still have the passion for shopping for fun things and putting on fun outfits and doing my hair and doing my makeup,” she continued. “I still have the fire in me. I love fun things, and I’m still running around the beach with my boobs hanging out, and I don’t really care. Do they look like how they looked before I had kids and they sucked the living daylight out of them? They are different now!” Here are some of the habits that keep Klum looking and feeling young at 51.

She Nourishes Her Body with Food

Heidi nourishes her body with food. “The myth that models don’t eat is totally not true,” she told Shape. “I just think that because we’re in this business, we have to choose more wisely.” She avoids junk food, opting for fruits, vegetables, and lean protein instead. One of her secrets? “In 2013, I made a New Year's resolution to drink a fruit and veggie smoothie every morning. It's one of those that went from a resolution to a life habit. My kids and I do it together, and we love it,” she told Shape. She also loves anything pickled or fermented. One of her favorite dishes? Her family’s sauerkraut soup recipe. A shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning is also part of her daily routine. Some scientific research supports the health benefits of fermented foods, including antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-atherosclerotic activity.

She Exercises a Few Times a Week

“It’s not just about doing the cardio so that you’re nice and fit, and slim and trim, but your heart needs to pump, too,” she told Shape about why she exercises. “Whenever I need motivation, I think of the big picture. I want to be as healthy as possible for myself and my family,” she said. “I don't really exercise that much,” she added to Buro27. I mean, two times a week for sure. I will do the Stairmaster I've got at home or a running machine. I also think it's important not to exercise too much. I don't think you have to do a lot, but if you do a little bit all the time, I think that's important. Sometimes I'll do some little weights while I'm running.”

She Practices Intermittent Fasting

Klum is a fan of intermittent fasting. "My last [meal] is at 6 p.m.," she told ET. "I eat with my kids, so I think that also helps a little bit. I think that when you eat a little on the earlier side, it has time to digest and I think it is a little bit better for your body."



She Uses These Digestion Hacks

Digestion hacks also help Klum keep her body healthy. “Maybe this doesn't work for everyone, but I learned in this clinic that I went to for two weeks with my husband because he had these horrible headaches, is that you're not meant to drink anything while you eat,” she said during an interview. “Not a half an hour before, not during, not a half an hour afterwards. So you're supposed to drink throughout the day, but not when you are eating because it dilutes our stomach acid. And then the stomach acid is too weak to break down the food. So that's important.” Another hack? “No raw vegetables” at night, “you know, like carrots or anything like that,” she explained in the same interview. “It is terrible to do that. Same with fruit or salad. So in the past I've always been chowing down on salad, but what happens is when you lay down at night, you go into rest mode and your poor stomach and your intestines need to rest. So if you're doing all these things like that, it can't rest. So it's super busy getting through all that uncooked food.”

Swimming

Heidi spends a lot of time in a swimsuit, so it’s not surprising that swimming is one of her favorite workouts. "I’m fortunate enough to have a pool at home and, when the pandemic started, I began swimming 20 laps a day,” she told Women's Health UK (via DailyMail) in 2020. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
