Ira Khan is enjoying the newlywed life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, Aamir Khan’s daughter, who married fitness trainer Nupur Shikhare earlier this month, shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while posing with her husband. “Red red,” she captioned one of the Instagram Stories. How does the new bride maintain her fantastic physique? Celebwell has the details on her health habits.


1. Yoga

Ira does yoga. “I can hold it for long enough for @nupur_shikhare to leave the frame while someone clicks the picture. That's about it. But baby steps, right?” she captioned a recent post of herself doing a yoga handstand. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

2. Strength and Weight Training

Ira also does strength training with the help of her husband. “Can it be our wedding without a bunch of workouts?” she joked in a caption, revealing details about her workout, starting with push-ups as a warm up and then progressing to jump squats, Namaskar push-ups, squat and press, wide push-ups, side squats, burpees, donkey kicks to wrestler sit outs, and then handstands.

3. Fasting

Ira goes on fasts. “I recently fasted for 15 days to help me kickstart my attempt to lose weight. I haven't been doing so well with the self-motivation and self-image department. I've been very active for most of my life and then in the past 4-5 years, I've been very inactive. I've put on 20kgs. And it's been really messing with my head,” she wrote in a 2022 post. “I didn't lose a significant amount of weight in numbers - not that I could sustain anyway. But I did find a renewed motivation to try harder. And I found a rhythm. I'm doing everything I can to hold on to it now. I did a lot of thinking and reflection and monitoring," she added.

4. Cycling

Ira also enjoys biking. “I want that cycle! And roads to ride it on. The e-bike pictures just have nice back drops. I don’t want that cycle. Though I have to say, so much more powerful than I thought it would be,” she captioned a post. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

5. Hiking

You can find Ira hiking. “Top of the world,” she captioned a post. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

6. Coffee

Ira is a coffee drinker. “Today was a terrible coffee day for me. So throwback to a good coffee day,” she joked on Instagram. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Khan meditated every day. “I start my day with the practice of oil pulling with coconut oil even before I brush my teeth,” she told ZeeZest. “It has numerous health benefits. In the meantime, I check my phone. After brushing my teeth I splash some cold water on my face to freshen up and meditate. I try to fit some sort of workout right at the beginning of my day with yoga or gym—but it really depends on what I am feeling like.”

2. Pilates and Weight Lifting

Khan stays active through a variety of different workouts. “It is really important to keep your body active every day,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “Even during my pregnancy, I found ways to keep working like yoga, walking, light weight lifting, and Pilates.

Khan is passionate about the power of healthy food. “It is important to have a balanced and nutritious diet, not just for your skin but overall health,” she told ZeeZest. “I strongly recommend including more whole foods in your diet, cutting down on processed foods, sugary foods and drinks, and alcohol. Definitely eat more fruits and vegetables, combine fiber-rich foods with good sources of protein like eggs, dairy, nuts, and beans, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, and healthy fats. One should also eat small meals and control portion sizes.”

4. Family Time

Khan loves to wind down with quality family time in the fresh air. “I stay motivated through connecting with my friends, fans, and my family,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “It’s nice to take a walk with my kids or spend some time outside with my friends and family.”

5. That Yoga Glow

Khan swears by yoga’s benefits not just for health and wellness but for beauty, too. “I truly believe that your overall health really shows up on your face,” she told ZeeZest. “Yoga has been such a great way for me to work out because it brings you calm and peace. These things really help your skin glow too.”

Sara Ali Khan is enjoying a trip to the mountains with friends and loved ones. Khan, 28, shared highlights of the trip, including pictures of herself wearing joggers and a crop top, posing next to crystal clear waters and towering pines. Another snap shows her dipping her feet into a river, and posing next to a beautiful lake. “A piece of peace,” she captioned the post. Khan is known for her dedication to fitness and enviably toned physique—here’s what Khan’s health and wellness regimen looks like.


1. NYC-Inspired Fitness

Khan overhauled her fitness routine when she was in New York City. “There were so many different types of classes in that city, from functional training to boxing to cycling,” she told Vogue India. “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.”

2. Pilates Queen

Khan swears by Pilates workouts for her enviable abs. “Pilates is definitely the backbone of my fitness,” she told Vogue India. “It strengthens body balance and works on your core, which is the powerhouse of your entire body. Doing Pilates has enabled me to gain strength that's not only helpful in looking good but also in boosting physical stamina.”

3. Healthy Diet

Khan focuses on healthy foods that make her feel good. "I honestly think that my relationship with food has evolved," she told Times of India. "It used to be unhealthy, but I’ve learned and realized that food is important for its nutrition, energy, and how it makes you feel. So, I think that with the right balance and in moderation, one can have a healthy and accepting relationship with food."

4. Protein and Vegetables

Khan’s diet switches up depending on her work schedule. “If I’m shooting, then it's boiled eggs, boiled veggies, grilled chicken, grilled fish, bhindi, etc,” she told Times of India. “If not, then breakfast is everything on the buffet. Lunch is Sarso ka Saag, Maaki ki roti, Butter Chicken, Dakshinayan’s Uthappams, or even Farmer Café in Mumbai. For dinner, maybe Bastian, but it all depends on my schedule.”

5. Favorite Foods

Khan loves dark chocolate for a healthy yet decadent treat. “I like food markets a lot,” she told Times of India. “Whether it’s in Delhi or it’s in New York, I enjoy street food markets and have had the best experiences with them. I don’t think it’s really a secret, but my favorite indulgence is dark chocolate. A close second is Farmer Café’s desserts!”

And for the first two years of my college, I have eaten so much of that pizza.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

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

Pilates

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.
