Big Bang Theory Star Tania Raymonde in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Everest Next"

Indian actress Karishma Tanna’s commitment to health and wellness is known throughout the industry—she’s always one step ahead of the fitness curve. Tanna, 40, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a pink tank top, doing a headstand with the help of a trainer. “Go girl,” a fan commented. Tanna has been in the public eye for over two decades—Here’s what her exercise, health, and diet regimen looks like in her 40s.

1. Fitness Freak

Tanna is passionate about fitness, and has been for a very long time. “I’m a total fitness freak,” she told the Times of India. “My workout regime is maintained by my trainer who meticulously plans my workouts. I follow a program, which includes three days of hardcore weight training and three days of cardio exercise. I make sure to chill out on Sundays — it helps me overcome my fatigued muscles.”

Tanna loves healthy home cooked meals, mostly based on traditional Indian recipes. “I follow a normal diet and prefer to eat home cooked food,” she told the Times of India. “I believe that being on a diet means eating proper food at proper times. I eat gujju khana for lunch, which comprises roti, two types of sabji, dal, brown rice and curd. The body needs energy during workouts so just before I go to the gym, I eat an apple and have some juice.”

3. World Citizen

Tanna loves to travel around the world, especially taking trips to Europe with her husband. “I love the vibe there. It's scenic, I relate to it a lot, and love the cafes there,” she told Zee Zest. “We [she and her husband] did a 25-day trip to Europe and covered destinations such as Saint-Tropez and Puerto Banús.”

4. Alpha Female

Tanna is proud to be a confident, strong woman, something she feels comes from early responsibility for her family. “[Growing up] I felt that I have to take on my family’s and my responsibility,” she told Zee Zest. “I felt that maybe God has given me an opportunity to take care of them. I had automatically become an alpha [growing up].”

5. Quality Time to Unwind

Tanna unwinds with spa sessions and family time, finding it to be the most refreshing and rejuvenating practice both for her physical and mental health. “I love stepping into a spa to unwind,” she told the Times of India. “A reflexology session followed by a complete de-stressing body massage and long steam with some soothing melodious music relaxes me greatly. If I can’t go to a spa, just lazing in my bed watching television or reading a book is also great. Spending quality time with family or going out for long drives rejuvenates me completely.”

Karishma Tanna is poking fun at herself in a new social media post. Tanna, 40, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a blue tank top, bouncing happily into the gym with plenty of energy and a smile on her face. The next part of her video shows the actress lying down on her yoga mat, taking a nap. “When you plan to work out on a Sunday… bad idea I guess,” reads the text over her video. “Relatable???” she captioned the post. Here’s what her diet, wellness, and fitness regimen looks like.

1. Dancing Queen

Tanna loves to dance, but admits it’s not as easy as it used to be. “Dancing has always been my passion, my escape, and my joy,” she captioned a video. “There’s nothing like the feeling of losing myself in the music and moving freely. Unfortunately, my knee pain has made it hard for me to dance like I used to. It’s been tough adjusting, but I’m focusing on healing and staying positive. Couldn’t stop myself from this one. After a long long time I danced my heart out.”

2. Yoga Forever

Tanna includes regular yoga sessions in her health and wellness regimen. “Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed. Yogini Forever 🧘‍♀️,” she captioned an Instagram post showing the actress performing a yoga move at the gym.

3. Serious Artist

Tanna feels underrated in the industry. “Just because I’ve done glamorous roles in the past, and played characters on TV shows where I had to overact, everybody assumed that I can only capable of that,” she told Hindustan Times. “It disappoints me sometimes. But, the reason behind that notion is there are very few directors who have the vision to not typecast you. Not everyone can mold you into character roles and bring out the best in you. I just hope that now (after Scoop), audiences take me more seriously as an actor, and I get more opportunities to prove that I’m capable of doing even better.”

4. Beauty Tips

Tanna says the most important beauty tip she can share is to stay hydrated. "DRINK A LOT OF WATER!” she told Brides Today. “I try to meet my water intake target every day and even today, I often miss it but it is the most underrated way to keep your skin clear and healthy."

5. Excited For the Future

Tanna is excited for what’s next in her career. “It’s the most difficult thing to decide what I’m going to take up next,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “Right now, I’m just enjoying this moment and the success of Scoop. My journey has been good. Yes, it’s had a lot of ups and downs, but I’ve learnt a lot with every project and gained a lot of experience. A lot of people have said that I’ve got a role that I’ve deserved after 18 long years, which makes me feel like good things do indeed take their own time.”

Taraji P. Henson isn't using the end of summer as an excuse to rest on her laurels. In fact, she’s starting a fitness challenge and wants you to participate. She posted a photo this weekend of herself in a bikini, captioned: “#TPH30DAYCHALLENGE stick with it until you see results. @forcefitnessinc we giving away some free free tomorrow!!! #Staytuned,” she said, with three bicep emojis and three weightlifter emojis. Read on to see 5 ways Taraji P. Henson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. Henson is Working Out With Mike T

Henson has been working out with celebrity trainer Mike T, who specializes “in leveraging each component of physical fitness to provide excellence in body sculpting, strength training, endurance training, and group fitness.” Their promotion includes workouts designed by him for Taraji P. Henson, and also includes a 30-Day Challenge with daily workout regimens, exclusive access to videos and diet and nutrition tips—plus it can be home at home or in the gym.

2. Henson Said It’s OK to Need Help

Henson keeps mentally fit, also, and allows herself to be vulnerable. “It’s OK to need help. It’s OK to not know what to do next. All of that is OK. It’s OK if you’re tired and you don’t want to do it today. ‘I don’t feel like adulting today. I’m tired,’ you know?” she told Coveteur. “Most times, because we’re too busy trying to be strong, we haven’t even been able to identify when we’re in crises because we’re used to operating like that,” Henson said.

3. Henson Meditates

“The first thing I do when I wake is meditate,” she told The Cut. “I try to set my mind right. I try to tell myself that no matter what, today is going to be a good day, so when those curve balls come, I’m not taken by surprise. I can tell the days I don’t meditate, because I pop off. Things aggravate me.”

4. She Treats Her Tummy Right

“I try to do my proteins. When I want a salt taste, I’ll do boiled eggs with my fermented vegetables. When I want a sweet taste, I’ll grab a Special K protein bar or protein shake. I just want to make healthier choices. I had a health scare and I want to live. My health scare came from me not eating right. You think just because you’re small and you work out that everything is coming up roses, until you take a look inside. There are so many things that we eat that are bad for us — hormones in animals — that affect you. Coffee on an empty stomach — who knew it could kill you? I know now,” she told the Cut.

5. This is What Wellness Means to Her

“It means taking care of your mind, body, and soul. You can’t have one without the other. Physical health starts here [points to head]. If you believe you’re sick, you’ll be sick. If you believe ‘I can beat that thing,’ then you’ll heal because your body can heal itself. But you have to be nice to it,” she told the Cut.
