Drashti Dhami shares a lot of workout videos on her Instagram. Even though she’s expecting her first child, she’s still hitting the gym. One thing she is doing is lifting dumbbells. Dhami shared a video recently of herself doing shoulder presses. She captioned the post, “Disclaimer : Do not try this at home or anywhere else without your doctors/trainers supervision.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Drashti Dhami stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Strength Trains

As you can see from her Instagram post, Dhami likes to strength train to stay in shape. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training has a lot of benefits. “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. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

2. She Does Squats

Dhami likes to do squats to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself in the gym on Instagram. In it, Dhami is seen doing squats and lunge squats. She captioned the post, “Cooking up a baby🤰& some serious gains at the gym🏋️‍♀️ Don’t worry I have got a doctor’s note for these reps. #MomBodInProgess. Disclaimer : Do not try this at home or anywhere else without your doctors/trainers supervision.”

3. She Does Burpees

Drashti DhamiDrashti Dhami/Instagram

Dhami likes to do burpees to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this video on her Instagram with her friends. ACE Fitness reports that since burpees are a compound exercise, they have cardiovascular benefits. “The purpose of cardiovascular exercise is to improve the ability of the heart to function as a pump. This can be accomplished through activities such as running and cycling, or by doing exercises that involve a significant amount of muscle tissue. Sitting in a leg-extension machine doing knee extensions or performing biceps curls with dumbbells uses only a limited amount of muscle tissue; these exercises are more appropriate for focusing on isolated strength. Squats to shoulder presses, medicine ball chops or burpees are all examples of compound exercises that involve large amounts of muscle tissue, which challenges the heart to pump blood to keep the muscles fueled and active.”

4. She Boxes

Dhami likes to box to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself boxing with a trainer. Dhami captioned the post, “ℕ𝕠𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕘𝕦𝕝𝕒𝕣 𝔹𝔸ℝ𝔹𝕀𝔼. What a session with @tridevpandey. Thank you sir 🫡” According to Southern Colorado FCA, boxing has a lot of benefits. “Saving the best for last is the core strength that boxing will develop. Many sports do a poor job of developing a strong core that is vital to an athletes overall performance. A weak core can create all kinds of problems - from back pain, lack of balance, poor movement, a weak stance, etc. A weak core can also contribute to other muscles working over time to compensate for an underdeveloped core. The typical high school athlete spends roughly 8 hours a day sitting - most likely sitting in poor posture. An athlete's core is often an afterthought needing intentional attention to be developed. Boxing provides a great focused core workout without all the crunches. Core development comes from maintaining a strong stance, delivering punches on a heavy bag, shadow boxing, and more. “

5. She Does Lunges

Dhami doesn’t skip leg day. One thing she likes to do is lunges. In this video, she is seen doing side lunges at the gym. Dhami captioned the post, “Workout your glutes and legs (bigger muscle groups) for more calorie burn. Here I am doing the strength version for beginner to early intermediates. Where was @coach.Urmi is demonstrating the plyometric versions for late intermediate to advanced students.”

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.

3. She Spends Time in Nature

Dushara understands the importance of self-care. One way she keeps herself mentally healthy is by taking time out of her busy schedule and relaxing in nature. “Loneliness in the middle of the forest gave a beautiful feeling of desire... “ she captioned a post of herself in the woods.

4. She Does Yoga

Dushara also does yoga.

Indian actress Amyra Dastur is showing fans what a typical strength training workout looks like for the star. Dastur, 31, shared a video of herself wearing a variety of workout gear, going through different workouts at the gym using weights and machines. She also does mat exercises using a medicine ball, and barbell lifts under the eye of a personal trainer. “A little #mondaymotivation 🦾,” she captioned the post. Dastur refers to herself as a “fitness freak”—here’s what her diet, exercise, and wellness regimen looks like.


1. Running and Stretching

Dastur does strength training, cardio, and stretching most days of the week. “I work out almost every day. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are my leg days,” she told ELLE. “I start my session with 15 minutes of cardio on the treadmill with high-intensity jogging and then mix ab exercises and leg exercises. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, I work on my upper body. After my workouts, I spend at least 15-20 minutes stretching to cool my body down and ensure my muscles don’t get stiff and tight the next day. It takes me about an hour or two to work out.”

2. Dance and Diet

Dastur incorporates regular dance classes into her workout routine. “I hit the gym in the morning and go for a dance class in the evening,” she told IndulgeExpress. “I’m also a big foodie. So I eat all I want but in a minimum quantity and also make sure to sweat it out in the gym.”

3. Good Skin From Within

Dastur has a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. “I believe in good skin from within,” she told ELLE. “I get a cleanse done every three months and flush out my stomach. A clean stomach allows better absorption of nutrients, and it helps with good skin. [My biggest beauty indulgence is] definitely my creams and makeup products. I buy the best, as it is my face that earns me my projects and brands. I am a skincare junkie and always on the lookout for new launches. I even have LED face masks at home.”

4. Not a Nepo Baby

Dastur had to fight her way to success, unlike some artists she believed had an advantage from their family name. “There was definitely a lot of rejection,” she told IndulgeExpress. “When you see a star kid has a film just because of their second name, it hurts. My biggest lesson has been to move on. You learn, improve and focus on what you want to do,”

5. Learning To Love Herself

Dastur is passionate about living an authentic life. “It takes time and a lot of mental strength to accept yourself for who you are,” she told ELLE. “Especially today with filters and apps that make you look different. I’ve learnt to love myself, and it’s been a struggle. A girl's body changes with time and your mindset has to change with it, or you will never be happy… You should look like the same person in real life as on your social media. I enjoy experimenting, but not to the point where it doesn’t look like me at all.”

Shalini Pandey is a very successful actress. She is known for her roles in films like Jayeshbhai Jordaar, 118, and Maharaj. In May, Pandey shared an Instagram video celebrating her trainer’s birthday. She captioned the post, “Happiest birthday to the best trainer, a better friend and a top human being🥂 Cheers to training hard, being healthy and our endless conversation 😬🫶🏽 @one.meal.monster.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Shalini Pandey stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s Comfortable With Her Body

Pandey is all about having confidence in herself and in her body. She talked about this in an interview. “I have always been confident of my physique and I never really paid attention to what people were saying about it,” Pandey revealed. “I loved whichever phase I was in physically and never really put pressure on myself to be a certain body type.”

2. She Eats Healthy

Pandey opened up about her diet in the same interview. She says that she makes sure to eat healthy. “I have mostly been a healthy eater almost all my life. I was always into sports and I started swimming since the 5th standard. I was into a lot of sports actually like badminton, volleyball and others. I was quite an outdoor kind of a kid. So yes, I have been a fitness freak ever since.”

3. She Dances

Starring in the film, Jayeshbhai Jordaar meant that Pandey had to do a lot of dancing. She said in an interview that this helped her get in shape. “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film which required an immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss. So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that’s a lot of cardio which helped me a lot.”

4. She’s Passionate

Pandey has a lot of passion for what she does. She talked about this in the same interview. “I’m an actor who invests a lot of energy and passion into every project that I pick. I want my performances to speak for itself and I would push myself into doing anything to deliver a performance that will hopefully be noticed and talked about. I have no issues with altering my body type if the script and my director wants me to look a certain way on screen.”

5. She Works Out On A Regular Basis

Pandey shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Women Fitness. When it comes to working out, Pandey tries to do so as often as she can. “I try working out every day,” she says. “But when I miss out I still try to go for a walk or do 10-minute of surya namaskar. Certain days I might just take my dogs for a run. The key is to stay active as much as you can that is very important and to enjoy doing so.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”

Oksana Grishina is a fitness powerhouse. A former Ms. Olympia and multiple-time Arnold Classic champion, she’s carved out a name for herself as one of the most elite competitors in the world. Beyond the stage, she’s a dedicated coach, helping others achieve their fitness goals.

Recently, Grishina took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her gym grind, posting a striking photo of herself in peak form. Dressed in a sleek white workout top and black leggings, she delivered an empowering message: “You are stronger than you think.” The post isn’t just motivational—it’s a testament to her relentless commitment to health and strength.

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From stair-stepping workouts to consistent weightlifting, here’s a look at Grishina’s go-to fitness secrets.

She Does A Stepmill

Grishina shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. She recently had a baby, and has been documenting her journey of losing pregnancy weight. One thing Grishina is doing is using a stepmill. She shared this video of herself doing so, captioning it, “Recovery!!! Here we go💪🏼 Instead of the boring treadmill, I decided to do the stepmill 🔥In the process of getting back in shape😤”

She’s Consistent

Grishina makes sure to stay consistent with her fitness. She made sure to workout while she was pregnant. Grishina shared her pregnancy workout in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Obviously my workout schedule has changed since I got pregnant but hasn’t been one day that I missed it💪🏼My pregnancy workout schedule: Morning- 30 min cardio bicycle or treadmill🚴 Day- 30-40 min light weight or body weight workout 🏋️♀️ Evening- 20 min cardio bicycle 🚴 Will it help keep your shape? Absolutely not but I promise you’ll feel better and stronger.”

She Uses A Stationary Bike

Grishina revealed in the previous post’s caption that she uses a stationary bike to keep herself in shape. Penn State PRO Wellness says, “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

She Uses A Treadmill

Grishina also revealed in the previous Instagram post caption that she does treadmill workouts. Using a treadmill has a lot of benefits. Healthy Talbot reports, “Treadmills are mostly used for cardio training. However, this fitness machine can be used for more boosting your cardiovascular health. It’s ideal for strengthening your muscles, including glutes, thighs, and calves. With treadmill workouts, you can always optimize the sessions to suit your goals. For instance, inclining the treadmill will stretch out the calves and glutes harder. This will help to tone and build muscle mass in your buttocks, legs, and thighs.”

She Lifts Weights

Grishina is seen lifting weights in the previous Instagram post. Lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”
