Chitrangda Singh is hitting the gym in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the Indian actress shows off her amazing body post-sweat session. “Hair flippin’ workout done,” she captioned the mirror selfie, shared via her Instagram Stories. How does the 47-year-old stay in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Four Workouts a Week

Chitrangda hits the gym four times a week. “I am not an exercise junkie but definitely an enthusiast. I like to try out different combinations of aerobics and cardio exercises for a well-rounded workout. Also, I’m not fanatic about a regimen or schedule. I try to be regular and dedicated and when I have a project, I like to get into shape for it, but it happens over a course of a few months, on and off,” she told Times of India.

2. Swimming

Chitrangda maintains that her father always woke her up early to go for a jog or play tennis, “but my favourite was always swimming. In fact, my dream body is not a skeletal size zero but a beautifully toned swimmer’s or diver’s body,” she told Times of India. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

3. Cardio and Weights

Singh’s trainer Promod Dadlani has her work out for an hour and fifteen minutes. The sessions include 40 minutes of cardio and include running, cycling or working on the cross trainer. “She gets bored easily, so I have come up with a range of exercises,” he explains. She also lifts light weights but does lots of repetition — about 30 to 40 reps per exercise. She claims her upper thighs and calf muscles are her “problem areas,” so she works on them a lot. “I like to have shapely legs,” she says. “The impact of low weight-high repetition is higher for my body type and it’s got the result I was expecting. Women don’t have a high musculature so to maintain a toned physique, cardio-based exercises work really well.”

4. Morning Cardio and Stretching

Chitrangada warms up in the morning by jogging for 10-15 minutes or cycling. She also stretches. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

5. High Protein, Low Fat Diet

Chitrangda.Singh.5Chitrangda Singh/Instagram

Singh focuses on sticking to a high protein and low fat diet filled with fish, lean meat, fruits and nuts. “For breakfast I usually have an egg white sandwich, oats or nuts. I love fish so I have it grilled with vegetables and with bajra roti, brown rice or bread for lunch and dinner. After workouts, I snack on fruits, Oreo shakes or Twix bars. I indulge in my favourite fried eggs and bacon once a week,” she revealed.

Yoga isn’t the only way Singh does stretching and flexibility exercises. She also remembers to do other forms of stretching. Singh posted this photo on Instagram of herself doing a side leg stretch with cables. She captioned the photo, “Choose stretching over stressing.” According to Harvard Health, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints.

She captioned the reel, “This is how I like to dance.” Having a strong core and set of abs is important. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Core exercises train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and stability, whether on the playing field or in daily activities.”

4. She Does Strength Training Exercises

In the reel, she is seen doing kettlebell swings, using battle ropes, doing pulldown rows, and chest presses.

1. She Does Chin-Ups

Ahluwalia shared this video on Instagram of herself working out in the gym. In it, she is seen doing chin-ups. According to ACE Fitness, chin-ups are a great exercise. “The primary benefits of the chin-up are increasing strength and definition of the upper arms, specifically the biceps, the posterior deltoids of the shoulders and the teres major and latissimus dorsi muscles of the back. Additionally, holding on to a bar and being able to do chin-ups helps develop crushing grip strength, which can come in handy for opening stubborn jars or having an impressive handshake.”

According to The Mayo Clinic, exercises like these have a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

3. She Wants To Help Others

Ahluwalia wants to help others. She shared this video on Instagram calling for young people to be educated on menstruation. She captioned the post, “As women, we tend to go through different kinds of hormonal imbalances affecting our health; physically and mentally. Irregular periods can be a sign of poor health and so educating ourselves and girls and women around us is important. Let us include ‘Period’ in school education. You too can contribute by signing the petition.”

4. She Doesn’t Stress About Her Diet

In an interview with IANS, Ahluwalia talked about the importance of not stressing about her diet and weight. “Many of us focus too much on the number of kilos lost. I realised it is more than just the number on the scale; it is about feeling healthier and stronger. This transformation has been about internal changes, and I feel that energy is now radiating outward. Currently, I eat carbs in a very controlled way, just focusing on a high-protein and low-carb diet. I also try to have dinner early and avoid eating anything afterward.”

5. She Boxes

“Throwing a punch works your entire body, from your arms and shoulders all the way to your core and legs,” physical therapist James Edwards, DPT says to the Cleveland Clinic, which adds "The conditioning exercises in fitness boxing classes also use a whole-body approach.

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

Bhumi.Pednekar.1Bhumi Pednekar/Instagram

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.

2. She Does Pilates

Sonakshi is also a fan of a body-elongating workout. “I started doing Pilates about six months back and it's really suited me.

There are so many variations of exercises you can do on that.”

3. She Does Functional Training

Sonakshi tries to stay about from processed carbohydrates. “I've stopped eating bread completely unless it's in the form of a pizza, which is my go-to cheat meal.

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

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
