2. Yoga

“I do yoga sometimes,” she adds in the video. According to the American Osteopathic Association, there are more than 100 different types, or schools, of yoga. Most practices include breathing exercises, meditation, and assuming postures (sometimes called asana or poses) that stretch and flex various muscle groups.“The relaxation techniques incorporated in yoga can lessen chronic pain, such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome,” Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California, explained to them. “Yoga can also lower blood pressure and reduce insomnia.”

Other physical benefits of yoga include:

  • increased flexibility
  • increased muscle strength and tone
  • improved respiration, energy and vitality
  • maintaining a balanced metabolism
  • weight reduction
  • cardio and circulatory health
  • improved athletic performance
  • protection from injury

3. Strength Training

Strength training is also a big part of her approach to exercise. “Leg daysss,” she captioned an Instagram Reel, demonstrating squats, lunges, and leg presses. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

4. Hydration

Hydration is also a part of Anushka’s approach to exercse. Here she is drinking out of a coconut. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

5. Pilates

In her recent post, Anushka shows off her Pilates moves. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.

Bollywood superstar Preity Zinta is giving fans a glimpse at her workout routine. Zinta, 49, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a purple shirt, using a reformer machine. “Getting back my groove, balance and flexibility with an amazing class of Hot Pilates. I love to try different things to stay fit but pilates is always my favourite. Thank you so much @shannonnadj for pushing me & inspiring me to work out, specially after the jet lag and stiffness🙏 I was having a tough time when we started but I ended the class feeling strong and energetic. Here’s to loving yourself and taking care of your body ❤️ If any of you are struggling to get started, start now as it’s never too late,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress and entrepreneur is living her best life.

Fitness Mantra

Zinta mixes it up with indoor and outdoor workouts. “I love doing yoga, weight training, pilates and sports training,” she told Indulgexpress. “My fitness mantra is straightforward. Eat healthy and clean food. Eat everything, but portion control is very important, and never starve or go on crash diets. Where working out is concerned, it’s essential to stretch before and after a workout, it’s also important to drink lots of water, stay hydrated, and be consistent with your workouts. So, don’t work out one day for two hours and then not work out the whole week. It’s better to work out for 40 minutes a day, but at least work out five times a week.”

Style Philosophy

Zinta loves to express herself through fashion. “My style philosophy is to keep it simple and stay true to who I am. Your best accessory should be your positive attitude, your confidence, and your smile,” she told Indulgexpress. “Besides that, the way a garment is cut is very important to me. I like the sophistication and structure of my clothes. My mood, how I feel, and the occasion or event I have to go to, often dictate what I wear. One should wear clothes and not the other way round.

Beauty Tips

Zinta focuses on a simple, sensible approach to health and beauty. “This whole thing of ‘don’t eat,’ it’s not fitness,” she told Vogue. “Portion control is very important, there is nothing more anti-ageing and healthy than working out and oh, sleep is very important.”

Indian and Western Movies

Zinta enjoys the cultural differences from making both Indian and European/American movies. “I think the thing that differentiates us the most is music in our films,” she told L'Officiel Monaco. “Music has always been a strong part of our culture and how we express ourselves. Besides that our stories mostly revolve around family, love and social issues. We don’t have too many science fiction films as compared to the West. Some of our films are very larger-than-life, escapist, and tailored for an audience that wants to go to a theatre to forget their life and situation and just be entertained. They want to see a larger than life world, full of hero’s and infinite possibilities far away from reality.”

The Next Step

Zinta is looking forward to exciting new projects in the near future. “I want to do roles that excite me, that are thought provoking & can be a beacon of hope to people today,” she told L'Officiel Monaco. “I would also love to do a lot more of comedy, Action, and whatever moves me when I read the script.”

She captioned the reel, “Gym time.” "To do a triceps extension, lie on your back with a dumbbell in your hand. Point your upper arm toward the ceiling, with your elbow bent to 90 degrees. Slowly straighten the elbow, moving the weight upward. Then slowly lower the weight to the starting position. You'll feel tension in the muscles in the back of your upper arm," says the Mayo Clinic.

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.”

Anushka Sharma is reminiscing about her vacation in the tropics! The Indian actress shows off her famous figure via her latest social media post, wearing a swimsuit as she rides her bike. “Best memories with my beloved two 👨‍👩‍👧❤️, pedal me back! 🌊🏝 #MissingAlready” she captioned the Instagram video. How does the 34-year-old maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 5 of Anushka Sahrma’s top tips for staying in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Break a Sweat for Beauty

Anushka maintains that exercise not only keeps her fit, but beautiful. “It's important to exercise not just to be healthy and fit but it even reflects on your skin and hair. I am very particular about my workouts and try not to miss it even when I'm shooting," she explained to Vogue India.

2. Find a Workout Buddy

Sharma is a fan of the workout buddy system. Luckily her cricketer husband, Virat Kohli, is game. “When you are about to go to workout, you might feel that you aren’t feeling like doing so but you have to push yourself. So, we are trying to do that because there is obviously a lot of time in hand and we are just trying to do things which will just keep us physically feeling good, immunity high and also mentally feeling better (sic),” she said in an interview with her husband during the pandemic.

3. Eat Healthy

Anushka eats healthy but refuses to go on any crash diets. “I think Virat and me are people who don’t believe in diets and we just have a lifestyle which is very healthy. We have always been like that,” she exclaimed. “There are certain things we don’t eat because they are not good for you. We try to eat food which is alkaline so it’s kind of easy on the stomach and keeps you healthy because if your body is alkaline your immunity is good and that’s something that we have always followed.”

4. Do Pilates

Anushka’s other top fitness method is pilates. “When we started our journey with Pilates together, it was to take care of her sensitive lower back and build a strong core. So our focus was always the core and our aim was to elevate her fitness levels further," her trainer, Megha Kawale, revealed during an interview with Vogue. "Initially, we did a lot of isolated core work as I wanted to ensure that we don’t stress her back, while working on core activation and recruitment. Then gradually we starting mixing the routines in the reformer and chair by doing combination core exercises.”

5. Be Consistent

Sharma maintains that consistency is the key to health. “Just working out, more than anything else, it’s giving me a routine, it’s giving Virat a routine," she said during the interview. Aside from pilates, she loves weight training, yoga, and running.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” 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.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
