Divyanka’s favorite meal of the day? “My breakfast because I can eat the heaviest item during this meal,” she told Pinkvilla. She starts with water and coconut, eating – usually fruit or healthy pancakes – around 10-11 am. “But I start my day with a glass of green juice since they are not high on sugar,” she added.

2. Healthy Diet

Tripathi isn’t a person who can eat whatever she wants and get away with it. “I have to really really control my diet, I don’t have a great metabolic rate,” she said. She stays away from carbs, rice, and sugar. “As soon as I have it, I pop,” she claims. “Try to control your carb intake, if you want to have carbs, have them! But have them in the afternoons since that is the best time to have them. And don’t have fruits in the night since they have sugar in them,” she says.

3. Daily Workouts

“I work out daily. I miss working out once or twice a week but I do it for my happiness. I do it for my happiness. It gives me a great adrenaline and happy hormones rush. It keeps my body agile, which is important for my work. Now, I have stopped stepping on the weight scale,” she told Pinkvilla.

4. Plant-Based Eating

Divyanka is a vegetarian and promotes plant-based eating. For lunch she has “a healthy wrap,” stuffed with paneer and vegetables. For the snack, Divyanka opts for a basic cutlet without oil, which is also a healthy option. She also sips on sugar-free soup between meals and keeps a box of cheese on hand.

5. Morning Workouts

When is the best time to workout, according to Divyanka? “Whenever you can – ideally in the morning but with erratic working hours I work out anytime!” she told the publication.

6. Cardio and Weight Training

Divyanka is a fan of “Both” cardio and weight training. 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

Niki Klasnic is a very successful fitness trainer. She shares a lot of her workouts and fitness tips on Instagram. This has given her a large following. Recently, Klasnic shared a video on her page of herself doing core exercises with weights. She captioned the post, “As with so many things, it’s HOW you do it that makes the difference in the results. That’s something that is so important with core work in general.”

1. She Does Core Workouts

As you can see from her post, Klasnic likes to do core workouts to stay in shape. She shares a lot of core exercises on her page. According to The Mayo Clinic, this is very beneficial. “Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

2. She Uses Weights

Klasnic is seen using weights in her Instagram post. This can be very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.”

3. She Takes Her Time

In her Instagram post’s caption, Klasnic talked about the importance of taking your time when doing exercises, especially core exercises. “It’s easy to fly through these and get just about nothing out of it. Alternatively, when we drop in, slow down and truly take the time to make sure our core is driving the exercise and stabilizing through the movement, something that seems really simple can be challenging.”

4. She Does Planks

Klasnic likes to do planks to stay in shape. In her Instagram post, she is seen doing side plank dips. NASM states that these can be very beneficial. “The side plank is an excellent exercise for activating and strengthening your Transverse Abdominis (deep abdominal muscle that supports your spine), but also your internal and external obliques, gluteus medius (outer hip muscle), infraspinatus, and teres minor (rotator cuff musculature), and the quadratus lumborum (muscle that supports the pelvis and spine). These are muscles that aren’t often challenged during daily life activities. An exercise like the side plank is a great way to target these often-underused muscles and create greater stability and strength in these above areas.”

5. She Does Cardio

Klasnic likes to do cardio exercises to stay in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself doing a cardio workout. Klasnic captioned it, “Sweaty sweaty cardio for you👌 the weights used here are light! Generally I recommend anywhere from 2 to a max of 10 lbs depending on the exercise. They’re not meant to be a strength challenge. Move with intention and land lightly here! You want to only move as quickly as you can keep good form, control and that light landing.”

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. 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.”

3. She Works Out Her Abs

Singh has an impressive set of abs and a flat stomach. In order to have them, she does a lot of workouts that target her abs.

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

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.
