1. She Practices Yoga

One way Alaya likes to stay in shape is by practicing yoga. She posts several videos and photos on Instagram of herself doing yoga. She posted this reel, captioning it, “Trying to post a yoga reel where I’m not upside down.” She also posted this reel of herself upside down, captioning it, “Back to the grind.”

2. She Gives Herself Affirmations

Alaya is all about self-love. One way she does so is by giving herself affirmations. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself doing yoga, and revealed one of her affirmations in the caption. She wrote, “Monday morning affirmation : I am happy, healthy and filled with energy!”

3. She Dances

Alaya is an avid dancer. She has appeared in music videos and dance productions. She posted this behind the scenes video on Instagram of herself in the studio rehearsing. “It always amazes me how so many elements need to come together and be just right to make just one video!” "One of the best things about dance is its creativity – you’re free to interpret moves in your own way. Some varieties, such as ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) barn dancing, have a ‘caller’ who shouts out moves to the crowd," says the British Heart Foundation. "Other dances, zumba for example, have an instructor who stands at the front to demonstrate steps. It should be easy to find a class too ."

4. She Works Out At Home

Alaya revealed her go-to home workout in this Instagram video for Vogue. “To be honest, I’m someone that HATES home workouts,” she wrote in the caption. “But it’s important to stay occupied and productive in a time like this. It’s important for us to nurture our health more than ever now. There are many workouts you can find online, based on what area of the body you want to focus on and what intensity level you want to train.”

5. She Remembers To Stretch

In the same Instagram video, Alaya says that she makes sure to stretch when she works out. “Stretch and rest as often as you want between it! There’s no rush! Each body is different, do what feels right for you and do it at your own pace." "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage," says Harvard Health.

Alaya F is dancing in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Indian actress shows off her amazing body – including her incredibly fit abs – in a two piece workout look while dancing up a storm. “Since you guys gave so much love (and engagement 🤪) to my #BTS rehearsal videos, please take one more,” she captioned the post. “Hotti 🔥❤️” commented one of her followers. “Wow 🔥😍💖💋🤎🐦” added another. How does the star approach nutrition? Here is everything you need to know about her diet.

1. Healthy Diet and Fitness Approach

In an interview with ETimes Alya revealed that she has PCOS, and is “definitely not one of those who can eat whatever they want and get away with it.” However, she is “quite happy” because it forces her to be healthy. “I don't think I'd live a very active, healthy life then,” she explains. “The fact that I need to keep my body in check and all of that in check really encourages me and pushes me to go out there and find physical activities that I really enjoy, whether it's dance or yoga or any of that. So I think there's a way you can look at everything and I'm glad I get to put more into my body, more good things into my body in order to keep myself fit.”

2. Coffee

One of the “morning rituals” Alya follows? “One cup of coffee and 30 minutes to myself,” she says. “I always make sure I wake up a little earlier than I need to, 30 minutes earlier than I need to, just so I can have that one cup of coffee, sit in silence, just be with myself, start the day at my own pace, because then the rest of the day gets chaotic and crazy. And so many things are constantly happening that you have to be up and alert for that I just like those 30 minutes.”

3. Changing Her Eating Habits with Goals

Alya changes the “timings of when I eat” depending “on what fitness goals I have or what type of activity I'm doing,” she says. “Of course, if you know I'm being very active, then I won't limit my carb intake because I think it's super important to also keep having carbs to keep your energy up. But at the same time, if I really want to get into a certain shape fast, then I make sure that I do cut out on my carbs. So, totally depends.”

4. Breakfast Lunch and Dinner

What does she eat in a day? “Maybe I'll have something like oats and fruits in the morning,” she explains. For lunch and dinner she enjoys roti. “I also like snacking throughout the day, so I'll find nice healthy snacks that I enjoy,” she says. “My favorite meal of the day would have to be dinner because that's the only meal I actually properly sit down and eat in peace again.”

5. Protein After Exercise

“So usually my post-workout meal, I try to get in some sort of protein,” Alaya says. “I allow myself to also eat carbs at that point because, you know, I've just had a great workout, but again, this also totally changes. I mean, there are days where right after my workout, I don't even get a chance to eat because I'm running somewhere else after it. So, totally depends.” Her usual workout time is around noon.

6. Vegan Diet

Alaya maintains a vegan diet. “I strictly avoid all meat and even eggs. So that's something new that I'm trying. Usually food-wise, I'm quite open.”

Alaya F is striking a (yoga!) pose in her swimsuit. The Indian actress flaunted her fabulous figure and flexibility via one of her latest social media posts while vacationing in the Maldives. “As you can see, I have very little regard for my personal safety🤣 totally worth it for magic moments like these,” she captioned the Instagram image.

1. She Eats Healthy

Alaya, a vegetarian, maintains a healthy diet. “I live a healthy lifestyle in general. I eat quite healthy, workout and keep active and fit. Even mentally you know, I try and keep myself healthy as much as I can,” she told Bollywood Bubble.

2. She Has Set Menus

Alaya is a creature of habit when it comes to food. “I have a set menu for the week and it rotates every week. Every day it’s different. From Monday to Sunday, I make sure it’s different so that I am not sick of it and then it repeats in the coming week. So, my breakfast can be anything like raagi dosa or rawa idli or muesli or oats. Everyday, it’s something different. My lunch had normal bhaji, rajma with brown rice,” she told Bollywood Bubble.

3. She Maintains Balance

Alaya maintains that health boils down to “just a good constant state of balance and right intentions in a lot of ways,” she explained to Bollywood Bubble. “Being fit, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a cheat meal or your favorite food. I think it’s just all about balance and the right intention with which you are doing. I feel if you are on a diet with all the bad intentions, like dieting only for the sake of losing weight, then you will go into a very negative zone of your body and health. That’s not productive for anyone and you won’t end up being fit at all. So, that’s my definition of fitness. I have times when I am working out all the time and I have times when I am mentally not in a place when I want to work out. I just want to sit and do nothing. That’s also ok. It’s a balance of both and not lifetime of only this or that. That’s my definition of fitness because it allows room to grow and learn more.”

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Alaya does lots of different workouts. “I work out at the gym, play tennis, dance, and do yoga. I used to do MMA, gymnastics and even Pilates. I have tried everything,” she told Hindustan Times. Her favorite? Yoga. “What I love about yoga is that it is quite a mindful, peaceful thing. It’s such a wonderful workout. I like to do it without a fan or AC. At the end of my yoga, I am just a pile of sweat. It is such a good feeling in the morning when you wake up and get into this wholesome form of exercise. It energizes you so much, I love that about it. That’s why I love it."

5. She Promotes Self-Love

In an Instagram Q&A, Alaya emphasized the importance of self-love. “Be kind to yourself and treat yourself well. No matter how many best friends you have or don’t have, be your own best friend first because you have you for the rest of your life. Just know that everything does work out in the end. You’ll be okay,” she told her followers.

Indian actress Alaya F (real name Aalia Furniturewala) is enjoying an impromptu trip to the beach, and having the time of her life. The 25-year-old star shared pictures of herself looking blissfully happy while posing in a red and white swimsuit and matching cover up, against a gorgeous dramatic sunset. “The Sagittarius in me felt extra spontaneous and I planned and left for a trip in 3 hours 😋,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit?

1. Yoga Changed Her Life

Alaya has practiced yoga for years, and credits it with incredible benefits. “Practicing yoga has opened up my body,” she says. “Now, if I don’t practice yoga for a while, my body starts feeling tight, and I don’t feel like myself. When I started doing yoga, I just wanted to get fit… I didn’t really have any other goals in mind. In fact, I told my yoga instructor that I’m not interested in finding mental peace, I just want to get ripped. But the beauty of yoga is that by default, you end up finding a sense of calm and peace.”

2. Drinking Lots of Water

Alaya swears by hydration and skin protection to maintain her complexion. “Drink plenty of water—I can’t stress this enough,” she says. “I can see an instant drop in my skin quality if I don’t hydrate enough. Also, I make sure I take off my make-up and wash my face regularly with a face wash that suits my skin type. And of course, SPF! I don’t leave my home without applying a moisturizer that has SPF in it! Lip balm and SPF are my staples.”

3. She Loves Dancing

Alaya enjoys dancing sessions, which are a great way to get exercise and have fun. “For a long time, I was a bad dancer, so when I wanted to learn how to dance properly, I started doing it for seven hours a day,” she says. “There was no other way for me to learn. It became a great form of workout for me, and it’s super fun!”

4. Balance and No Restrictions

Alaya says to her, fitness means balance and good intentions. “Being fit, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a cheat meal or your favorite food,” she says. “I think it’s just all about balance and the right intention with which you are doing. I feel if you are on a diet with all the bad intentions, like dieting only for the sake of losing weight, then you will go into a very negative zone of your body and health. That’s not productive for anyone and you won’t end up being fit at all.”

5. Self-Love and Self-Care

Alaya is careful to focus on her mental as well as physical health. “Don’t underestimate your body, as it’s capable of amazing things,” she says. “You just need to believe in it and not be scared. For me, self-care goes beyond just fitness. Self-care involves your mental health and the way you talk to your own body and mind.”
