Bollywood Star Malaika Arora In Yellow Workout Gear Is “Killing It”

Bollywood star Malaika Arora is dedicated to her health and fitness routine, which includes intense workout sessions with her personal trainer. Arora, 50, shared a video of herself wearing yellow shorts and a matching sports bra, doing a mat workout at home. “Always killing it, this one ♥️Starting the week off with some fun cardio and a dose of Casper’s energy ☺️💪,” trainer Jahnavi Patwardhan captioned the Instagram post. Here’s how Arora is in the best shape of her life in her 50s.

1. Beauty From the Inside

Arora believes beauty comes from healthy habits. “I believe beauty is inner health,” she told Harper’s Bazaar India. “If you are healthy and good from within, you can take on any new change or trend and ace it. I believe that being beautiful inside is more important than being beautiful outside. For this, one needs to lead a healthy lifestyle. Have lots of fruits and fresh juices, sleep on time, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and keep an active lifestyle. We are aware of all this but sometimes just need a little extra nudge to follow it.”

2. Hair Oil and Pilates

Arora prefers clean beauty products and swears by regular Pilates sessions. “I start my day with warm water and lemon every morning,” she told Femina. “I use organic, chemical-free make-up as much as possible and ensure that I remove my make-up every night before bed – in fact I cleanse twice while removing my make-up. I also oil my hair once a week. A sunscreen is important – even in the winter. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – it’s my perpetual mantra! Keep active for at least 30 minutes everyday – my favorite go-to exercise is Pilates.”

3. Intermittent Fasting

Arora makes most of her food at home, rarely eating out. “I do intermittent fasting, so I don't eat anything in the morning because my last meal is at 7-7:30 in the night,” she told Times of India. “So, I fast for about 16 to 18 hours. I start my day with a lot of liquids, which is warm water, ghee or coconut oil, in the morning. The liquid could be whatever you like--plain water, jeera water, or water with lime. I do all of that in the morning and I break my fast with nuts--walnuts and a mix of nuts that I have.”

4. Limiting Screen Time

Arora takes break from screens for her mental health. “Practicing detachment from the noise on social media can be challenging but not impossible,” she told Harper’s Bazaar India. “It requires setting clear boundaries, limiting screen time and being mindful of emotional responses. Having self-awareness and focusing on real-life connections can help create a healthier relationship with social media. I also take breaks and prioritize mental well-being to find a balance and reduce the impact of the online world on my emotions.”

5. Her Beauty Rules

Arora’s beauty mantra is based on self-love and inner beauty. “I have three fundamental rules when it comes to beauty. Firstly, I advocate embracing uniqueness,” she told Harper’s Bazaar India. “It means recognising that beauty cannot be confined to a single standard but rather stems from embracing and celebrating your distinctiveness and unique attributes. Secondly, I emphasize the importance of prioritizing self-care, both physically and mentally. It plays a crucial role in exuding inner beauty and confidence. Lastly, I encourage individuals to be kind, compassionate and understand that genuine beauty emanates from acts of empathy, thereby contributing to a more beautiful world for all.”

1. She Got Through COVID By Eating Right

Arora was diagnosed with COVID in 2020 and it hit her hard. She turned to nutrition as fuel. "The only way I could keep myself fuelled was with my diet. This was when I realized it doesn’t matter how much you exercise and have a fabulous body until and unless you are not fit from the inside, nothing matters," she told Zoom.

2. She Does Yoga

Malaika does yoga every morning. “Yoga has been shown to have significant health benefits for many patients, including the potential for a substantive antihypertensive effect,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Most patients should be able to safely participate in yoga and thus benefit from the potentially salutary effects of this ancient practice.” It continued: “The present issue of the Proceedings contains a systematic review and meta-analysis by Wu et al3 demonstrating that yoga practiced regularly each week can substantially reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and that such reductions are augmented when yoga is combined with breathing exercises and meditation. Yoga can also improve one’s overall fitness by increasing flexibility, balance, proprioception, and muscle strength.”

3. This is Her Workout Routine

“I start my day with a good morning session of yoga and then I step outside to do a mix of other fitness activities as well like HIIT, walking, running, swimming and so on. Walking is a great way to improve and maintain your overall health and I make sure I do it for at least 30 minutes a day,” she told IANSLife.

4. She Loves to Walk

“Walking is a risk-free form of exercise that helps you to maintain your overall health. When I feel I have put on a little weight, I feel walking is an effective way to reduce that weight and I have also seen a lot of toning in my legs and overall body while I indulge in walking as a regular fitness exercise,” she told IANSLife. “Aim to walk at least five days a week. Start out warming up with a five-minute, slower paced walk. Slow your pace to cool down during the last five minutes of your walk,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Stayed Strong Despite Her Infection

"So when I was diagnosed with COVID-19 in the month of September 2020 I felt my entire world had come to a standstill. I was isolated from my family which put me in an emotional pit and the situation faced by the people around me made me even more anxious than ever. But there was one thing which kept me going - the hope that one day everything will be alright and we will all get through this tough time together," she told Zoom.

2. She Goes Outside

When Arora practices yoga, she likes to do so outside. She explained why in this Instagram reel.

When Arora works out, she aims to reduce her belly fat. She talked about her process in this Instagram reel, “Belly fat can be representative of several other underlying conditions.

5. She’s Consistent

Arora is consistent with her workouts. She encouraged her followers to stick with their fitness routines on this Instagram post. “Get on the mat and show up every day for yourself,” she wrote. “Consistency is the secret. Nothing else.” "Aerobic exercise keeps your muscles strong, which can help you maintain mobility as you get older. Exercise can also lower the risk of falls and injuries from falls in older adults. And it can improve your quality of life," says the Mayo Clinic. "Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp. Regular physical activity may help protect memory, reasoning, judgment and thinking skills (cognitive function) in older adults. It may also improve cognitive function in children and young adults. It can even help prevent the onset of dementia and improve cognition in people with dementia."

In the same post, Arora opened up about her diet. She says that she finds healthy versions of some foods when it comes to her diet. “For those looking to control weight, instead of drastically reducing your calorie intake by fasting, try including low-calorie foods in your diet instead.

And that's it. I don't have anything after 7 pm.”

1. This is How She Got Into Fitness

“For me, it all started in New York. I weighed 96kg and had a year to go before I graduated. The transition from pizza to salad and from lethargy to cardio is how I kickstarted my fitness journey. I simply started eating healthy and began working out when in New York. There were so many different types of classes in that city, from functional training to boxing to cycling. But because I was so overweight at the start, [my routine] was more about cardio-heavy workouts like walking, cycling and hitting the treadmill—so that I could lose the weight before entering the intermediate forms of exercise,” she told Vogue.

2. Sara Ali Khan Has This Workout Trick

“The main thing for me is to get any form of workout at least six times a week,” she has said. “I recently discovered that on YouTube you can change the playback speed of songs. So now I can actually work out to pretty much any song depending on the pace of it. I can always make it 1.25, 1.5 or two times faster than the original track, so that makes it a lot easier,” Sara Ali Khan told Vogue.

3. She Does Vinyasa Yoga

Sara Ali Khan enjoys Vinyasa yoga. “The potential health benefits of yoga include:

• Stress reduction. A number of studies have shown that yoga may help reduce stress and anxiety. It can also enhance your mood and overall sense of well-being.
• Improved fitness. Practicing yoga may lead to improved balance, flexibility, range of motion and strength.
• Management of chronic conditions. Yoga can help reduce risk factors for chronic diseases, such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Yoga might also help alleviate chronic conditions, such as depression, pain, anxiety and insomnia,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Does Pilates

“Pilates-based exercises performed along with standard exercise programs were more effective for improving balance and quality of life than standard exercise programs alone,” write the authors of one study. “Pilates mat exercises contributed to increase in the strength and endurance of core muscles in post delivered women and even improve the fitness of women by improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and decrease in the girth measurements,” says another study.

5. She Has Had PCOS

Sara Ali Khan has talked about having PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) on Koffee With Karan. “I was 96 kgs. Actually, I had PCOS. I still do. And, because of that, I think I put on the amount of weight that I did. Because of that, there was also a hormone problem.” Other celebrities—from Leah Michele to Victoria Beckham—have had PCOS, and so has celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels. “PCOS – short for polycystic ovarian syndrome is a health condition that affects 1 in 10 women. Literally, it's the development of small fluid filled sacs or ‘cysts’ in the ovaries and it’s caused by a hormone imbalance. Too much androgenic hormones (testosterone, DHEA) and not enough estrogen. PCOS is also linked to insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes,” she once wrote. “Therefore, in my opinion, when it comes to PCOS the key is to look for the reasons your hormones are out of whack in the first place and address that! The top reasons are as follows –" bad "food and way too much of it. Not enough exercise.”
