Indian singer Neha Bhasin has earned herself a reputation as a health and fitness guru amongst her peers. Bhasin posted some photos of herself wearing a black and white swimsuit, looking happy and confident in her poses. “I’m not shore you saw my bikini, so I’m posting it again 😋,” she captioned the tongue-in-cheek post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bhasin 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 Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Embraces Her Curves

Bhasin has experienced body-shaming in the music industry, but these days she doesn’t let it affect her. “Even today, I have my days when I struggle,” she says. “But mostly I’d say at this point, I have the healthiest relationship that I’ve ever had with my body. That also reflects in my size today. I don’t think it’s the other way around. It’s not like because I have a good size, I accept my body. It is because I accept my body, I feel I look the best that I’ve ever looked.”

2. She Follows a Vegan Diet

Bhasin follows a vegan diet, which she admits is not always easy. “I am gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant,” she says. “Being vegan makes your food choices very simple. A plant-based diet is a wiser choice for our health and our environment. Every foodie’s predicament when they turn vegan is missing out on foods, they have had all their lives. Especially for a Punjabi, who had an array of sumptuous dishes to choose from. I used to love paneer and cheese and dahi. I miss ghee and other Punjabi dairy products a lot. I also miss parathe. But it’s a sacrifice worth making.”

3. She Loves To Run

Bhasin likes to run and practice yoga. “I used to do cross training every day for an hour up till a year back,” she says. “The whole of last year I’ve been running for an hour every day in the morning and practicing yoga once in a while. I do believe a lot in stretching and remaining flexible.”

4. She Stops Eating At 7pm

Bhasin prefers to have dinner over by 7pm, in tune with her circadian rhythm. “Most of us typically eat over a 15-hour window. Instead, eat only when the sun is up, since this is when your body wants you to eat,” says Dr. Michael Crupain, MD, MPH. “Ideally, that’s 12 hours between your last meal of the day and the first of the next day. (This is a form of intermittent fasting, which appears to have important health benefits for longevity. If you can stretch this ‘fasting’ window out to 14 or 16 hours, that’s even better. Since you’re asleep for most of it, it’s actually not that hard.)”

5. She Rejects Diet Culture

Bhasin has faced body-shaming in her past, and refuses to ever diet again. “I was 49 kgs in Viva and I was fat-shamed every day. I am 65kgs here,” she says. “I put on weight in quarantine and I have never felt sexier. Weight is a number you can change but shaming oneself is damaging and toxic. Sex appeal is not in your body parts. It’s in you.”

She Dances

She finds fun ways to stay active, like busting out some dance moves. “We will dance when the friend says so! 💃🏻 🕺🏻A boy's picture has come and it seems this time he will definitely do an arranged marriage! All the best Sunny and the entire team of #LuvKiArrangeMarriage,” she said on Instagram (translated to english) while dancing.

She Appreciates Nature

She focuses on what makes her happy, out in nature. “Happiest when I'm close to nature... aren't we all? Let's safeguard & preserve our environment. A small action in the right direction will go a long way. Think of how you would like to be a part of this positive change and act on it. #WorldEnvironmentDay,” she said on Instagram.

She Works Out

Whether she’s at the gym or at home, she finds ways to remain active, getting in a good sweat session. “Turning my living room into my gym for #WorldHealthDay! 🏋️♂️,” she said on Instagram on a video of her working out, doing push ups, kicks, cardio, weight training, and more.

Shubhangi Atre, star of Do Hanson Ka Jodaa and the Hindi sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, is famous for her talent and her good looks. She is spending a day at the beach, and posted a stunning new photo on Instagram. In it, she went for a dip in the water. Atre wore a white swimsuit and cover-up, and received praise in her comments from followers, who called her "beautiful." How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Shubhangi Atre 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 Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Ate Healthy While Battling COVID

Atre revealed in an interview with Free Press Journal that she struggled with COVID-19. She says that one thing she did to recover is eat healthy. “I was in constant touch with my doctor. I was eating fresh food and avoiding junk or packaged snacks. I have a sweet tooth and I was advised to eat fruits when I was craving for sugar; I was told to eat less spicy and oily food. I also made sure to keep myself hydrated all the time. Also, I ate a lot of green vegetables while battling Covid.”

2. She Loves Kadha

Atre told Free Press Journal that she loves to drink Kadha and similar beverages. She says that this helped her get through COVID. “Kadha (a traditional Indian drink considered to be effective against cough and cold) is quite helpful. Even my family drinks an ayurvedic homemade kadha everyday.”

3. She Consults An Expert

Atre tells Free Press Journal that she always consults with an expert before she made any life choices. She says that she especially did this when she had COVID. “We all are flooded with health advices, diet plans, forwarded messages, and we have seen people following those guidelines. But what we often do not understand is that every human body reacts differently, so one must consult with an expert before taking up any diet plan.”

4. She Walks

One of Atre’s favorite ways to get exercise is walking. She tells Telly Chakkar, “I am not into fitness, but whenever I get time off from my shooting, I go for a walk or jog near the set. I carry my shoes along and always up for some exercise. The set location is wonderful, greenery all around so we get fresh oxygen too. I mostly go post my lunch or in the evening time. It is a best way to relax.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Exercises

Atre likes to do a lot of different exercises. She revealed some of her favorites in an interview with India Forums, “I am a trained kathak dancer and kathak has helped me in my overall fitness. I have been practicing kathak since the last 15 years and it improves ones stamina, grace and flexibility along with toning one's body. Besides dancing I do cardio exercises at home. I have a small gym, so I walk on the treadmill and cycle. I practice yoga regularly, which is good for ones mental strength. I exercise for an hour almost six days a week.”

Parineeti’s body transformation has inspired millions. “All my life, I have struggled with how I look, how I feel, and how people looked at me. I was constantly made fun of, but the person I was, I generously laughed with them. Today, many people ask me what triggered the weight loss, did I give in to the ‘bollywood pressure’? To that I say - thank god I became an actor and had that pressure! I am able to achieve what I couldn't achieve otherwise,” she captioned an Instagram post. “I feel more confident, I feel at peace, and I feel proud! Girls and women meet me all around the world, at airports, events, on the street; they hold my hand, hug me, and tell me their struggles and how I changed their lives. They show me their wallpapers, their wallets, and its all pictures of me!! They look at those pictures and want to make that change in their own lives. They look at my Built That Way campaign and have stuck it to their walls. I have seen women tear up and tell me I changed their life. Post delivery weight, teenage obesity, they are fighting it, and I am their inspiration. As an actor, There is no bigger achievement for me. I am glad to be a part of your life in this way. So thank you everyone. Thank You for making me feel loved. Like I always say - if I could do it. So can you.”

2. She Eats Smaller Portions

"I was always thinking about food. So, it took a lot of mental strength to lose all the extra weight", Parineeti revealed to NDTV. "I thought I would never be able to give up pizza, but I did. I eat everything in limited portions now, but I make it a point to fulfill my cravings".

3. If She Indulges, She Balances It Out

Parineeti cheats, but when she does, she makes up for it. "If I indulge in fatty food, I balance it out by either eating a light meal for dinner or burning more calories the next day," she told NDTV.

4. She Got Tested for Food Allergies

According to Parineeti, she gains weight really fast, due to her poor metabolism – even when she eats healthy. Finally, she went to an Australian Health Center and was tested for food allergies. She learned about foods she should and shouldn’t eat. Hydration is key for her. For breakfast she will eat brown bread with butter, 2 egg-whites (no yolk) and 1 glass of sugar-free milk. For lunch she typically eats a salad and brown rice with dal and vegetables and low fat foods with less oil around 7-8 pm for dinner, plus 1 glass of sugar-free milk.

5. She Exercises

Parineeti isn’t a fan of running on treadmills or weight lifting at the gym. Instead, she mixes up her fitness dancing, practicing martial arts, yoga, meditating, or swimming. However, once in a while she will hit the gym.

6. She Doesn’t Weigh Herself

"I don't check my weight on the weighing scale. As long as my clothes are fitting me and I can wear better clothes, that is the most important thing," Parineeti Chopra told NDTV. And, she uses the mirror as motivation. "Every time I look at myself, I feel like working harder."

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

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

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.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

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.
