Indian Actress Asha Negi In Workout Gear Is “Embracing the Grind”

1. She Lifts Weights

Negi’s workouts are focused on building strength. “I do weights, functional, cardio and mobility exercises,” she told Eastern Eye. “Basically, my workouts are a combination of a lot of things. I’ve always worked out, but had a hard time maintaining it, and making it my lifestyle. I initially also used to work out, but the way that I do it now is a lot different. It’s all thanks to my new coach, Mr Rohit Nair – with him it’s become like a lifestyle. I’ve become really passionate about it now.”

2. Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting

Negi practices intermittent fasting, and tries to stick to a low-carb diet. “Earlier I was not that big on diet, but now obviously I am more aware thanks to my trainer for that, also I am a big foodie too,” she told Women Fitness. “I follow intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet, but sometimes I do end up eating rice and home-cooked vegetables, my favorite cuisine has to be Indian but I do relish pizzas and pasta . Italian in general so it’s tough to choose my favorite cuisine.”

3. Nutrition First

Negi enjoys a balanced diet, making sure to properly fuel her workouts. “Nutrition is very important,” she told Eastern Eye. “Firstly, with your workout, I think they say it’s 30 per cent workout and 70 percent diet. And nutrition is very important. You need to take care of what you’re eating. Personally, I love eating. I do eat a lot of junk also. But then I make sure it is a limited portion. And I’m eating a lot of nutritious food also. So yeah, that’s how it works, I think.”

4. Self-Confidence and Positivity

Negi has developed a strong sense of self-confidence over the years. “For me, my strength is my positive attitude and my eagerness to learn more,” she told Women Fitness. “I’m always in the mindset to learn more and broaden my horizon and I think that is my strength, and for insecurities, I still do have them I remember having biggest insecurity of not being able to do public speaking, I used to cancel interviews for this reason because I was so under-confident that how will I manage to speak but overtime I used my strength to overcome it and I think that has made the difference.”

5. International Dreams

Negi hopes to expand her career internationally. “I can see myself working in the west and I really want to do that,” she told Eastern Eye. “I want to work everywhere. As I’ve said in my earlier interviews, I’ve done a lot of TV already, and want to do OTT and Bollywood films now. I also want to do Hollywood and work in south (India), so I want to work with all kinds of people in my country and internationally, why not?”

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.

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.”
