Bollywood Star Esha Deol In Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Gym Selfie 

Indian actress Esha Deol is in the best shape of her life thanks to steady, consistent work over the years and long-term healthy habits. Deol, 42, shared a picture of herself wearing black leggings and a tank top, posing for a gym selfie with her trainer Satyajit Chourasia. “Under construction with this solid rock by my side 💪🏼🧿 The best @fitnesswithsatya ♥️ #workout #fitness #gymmotivation #stayfit #love #gratitude,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Deol’s fitness and training routine looks like in her 40s.

1. One Hour Every Day

Deol believes every woman needs an hour a day to herself. “I have always been a fitness freak, whether it was training for films such as Dhoom where I worked very hard for the washboard abs,” she told IndianExpress. “I have always been athletic and into sports. My body structure itself and blessings of good genes have helped. I like to work out, give that one hour to myself, no matter what. It is so important to not just workout to look good but for your mind as well. I follow a healthy diet. I don’t eat a lot of junk food and don’t starve at the same time. Maintaining a balance and not overdoing anything is important. Every woman should give herself an hour every day.”

2. Love For Lifting

Deol loves strength training and cardio. “I run on the treadmill for 45 minutes, weight-train for 30, and practice yoga,” she told Mid-day. “I love lifting. It helps keep muscles toned and proportionate, and makes me feel good because endorphins are released. I also love cardiovascular work because I can let my mind wander.”

3. No Extreme Diets

Deol believes staying active is crucial for health and happiness. “Because we women are the ones who are keeping everyone together. We need to be strong emotionally, mentally and physically,” she told IndianExpress. “Don’t indulge in extreme diets and starve. Don’t be too desperate to achieve a supermodel’s figure. Give yourself time. Each individual is unique. Learn to love yourself. Do pamper yourself too. Swim, do yoga, walk, run, whatever suits you….but do something and give yourself that one hour in a day. That is called me-time.”

4. Dancing Workouts

Deol is a talented and accomplished dancer. “Dance is a form of training that keeps you physically and mentally fit,” she told Mid-day. “One has to remember the right steps, and also the appropriate techniques, and execute it on the beat. It is a body and mind workout.”

5. Postpartum Care

Deol’s postpartum workouts consisted of lots of walking. “If you are taking your kid for a walk on a pram, then perhaps put weights on your ankles and walk,” she told IndianExpress. “That way, you are brisk walking with the kid and simultaneously toning your leg muscles. The leg is the most important part you hit during a workout, which takes care of the rest of the body automatically. Apart from that, just drink lots of water. We forget to hydrate ourselves when we do so many things. Sometimes, squeeze a lemon in it and drink it for vitamin C.”

Bhumi Pednekar is breaking a sweat – in her two-piece workout ensemble. In a new social media post, the actress shows off her amazing body – including her flat abs – in exercise clothes during an intense gym session. “Post dengue I couldn’t even walk a Km. Add to this a rib and knee injury along with massive muscle loss. I was a Mess!!! It’s taken me 3 months to actually get back. Slow and steady,” she captioned the Instagram post. What does an expert think about her workout – and what other exercise and diet habits help keep her in shape? Celebwell has all the details.

1. A Great Full Body Workout, Says an Expert

Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant explains that Bhumi is doing a full body workout “which is a good option if you are trying to focus on fat loss as well as some muscle gain,” she said. “For the most part these are pretty good exercises. However, she doesn’t recommend the one where she’s on her back, her feet are on the ball, and she’s tapping her heels on the ground alternating, “if you don’t know how to properly engage your core (which most people don’t) then you will feel your own back – and possibly injure it,” she says.

2. Devotion to Fitness

“I work really hard; it’s become an active part of my routine,” Bhumi told Vogue India. “If you want something, don't wait for a Monday to begin working for it. Just show up,” she added to India Today. “I just woke up each day and showed up at the gym. I decided to never break this resolve, so there were days when I would merely take a steam and sauna and potter around. But I was there, soaking in the energy. There's no dearth of excuses when the motivation is down. I knew I had to push past this.”

3. Running

“Running regularly and light exercises along with a balanced diet will help keep you active. Hence, I start my day with running followed by a healthy breakfast including foods like nuts, fruits that help maintain my energy levels and give me the boost of nutrition I need to go about my day," she revealed in another interview with Vogue India.

4. Exercise Is Her “Me Time”

“The hour or two I spend in the gym every morning is me time," Bhumi told Vogue. “It’s not just physical, it’s meditative too; I do a lot of thinking when I’m working out."

5. Counting Steps

“I make sure to dedicate an hour to exercise daily and have made a resolution to complete 7,000-8,000 steps in a day so I don’t feel lethargic. It may look difficult since you’re indoors all the time but it’s important to push yourself," she told Vogue.

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt is showing off the results of her intense gym routine and diet. Bhatt, 30, shared several beautiful photos of herself wearing a variety of outfits, including one snap of her in gray pants and a tank top, posing next to weights in a gym. “Many moods & a million mirror selfies 💫,” she captioned the post. Bhatt is known for her strong physique and boundless energy—here’s how she does it, according to the actress, her trainer, and her nutritionist.

1. Strength, Cardio, Yoga

Bhatt works out with trainer Sohrab Khushrushahi, who keeps the actress on her toes. She also enjoys regular yoga sessions. “Alia's workout routine is a mix of strength, functional and high-intensity work," Khushrushahi told Vogue India. “On the days we can't meet, I'll send her a cardio routine to do which she follows diligently. She loves running and working on her legs. I've always believed routine is boring. And while you need to be boring at times to see results, I love mixing up the workouts. So Alia's routine is always changing."

2. Small Meals All Day

Bhatt’s nutritionist Angie Kassabie makes sure the actress gets all the nutrients she needs with several smaller meals spaced out throughout the day. “Alia's diet started off with clean food—mainly seafood and vegetables, a little bit of carbs in rice and a bit of protein pasta,” she told Vogue India. “Of course, we're having all the fibers in the morning with proteins. We're also giving her desserts on a regular basis—low in carbs, fats, cholesterol and very low in calories—where every piece contains between 160-260 calories.”

3. Barely-There Makeup

Bhatt loves a natural look when it comes to her skincare and makeup. "I’m very into glowy make-up, which is barely-there skin, where you just see luminous skin,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I like to find that in-between where the skin just looks great. Even when you have make-up on it doesn’t look like you're wearing make-up. It just looks like good skin...with just a bit of make-up on.”

4. Postpartum Confidence

Bhatt gained a new appreciation for her body since having a baby. "I think what I would tell my younger self is that you have so many years ahead of you to worry about things that will actually be worrisome,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “Do not worry about the way your body is looking or where you feel like there's a little bit of tubbiness, or if you feel like you have jiggly and wiggly arms. I think I always felt very conscious about those things."

5. Diet For Energy

Bhatt’s diet was designed to keep her full of energy during her filming schedule. “Alia is in good shape. She is someone who works out often and tries to stay fit as much as she can,” Kassabie told Vogue India. “The goal of every good diet plan and meal is weight loss and having enough energy so you can take all the hours of work, especially in very low temperatures. The body needs a lot of energy in the winter in Bulgaria, which is approximately minus 14 to 15 degrees. We basically gave her all the nutrients to meet her goals, to keep her body fit and drop the couple of kilos she wants to drop.”
