Tanna loves healthy home cooked meals, mostly based on traditional Indian recipes. “I follow a normal diet and prefer to eat home cooked food,” she told the Times of India. “I believe that being on a diet means eating proper food at proper times. I eat gujju khana for lunch, which comprises roti, two types of sabji, dal, brown rice and curd.

If I can’t go to a spa, just lazing in my bed watching television or reading a book is also great. Spending quality time with family or going out for long drives rejuvenates me completely.”

Sanya Malhotra is a successful actress, known for her roles in films like Dangal, Photograph, Love Hostel, and Kathal. Besides her acting career, Malhotra ensures she stays fit and active. She recently shared a video on Instagram showing herself standing on one leg on a bosu ball with the caption, “Difficulty level - @tridevpandey doing his aawara bhawre dance.” Here's a closer look at some of her favorite workouts.

1. She Uses A Bosu Ball

In her Instagram post, Malhotra is seen on a bosu ball. Fitness Advisory states that these exercises are very beneficial. “Because the BOSU ball is unstable when it is used dome-side down, users are forced to use more muscles, thereby improving overall strength. The use of this unstable platform works muscles that are usually unused during typical workouts. Routine exercises such as lunges, squats, lifts, and push ups can also be more intense when the ball is used. This result is more challenging workouts. along with more effective strength training.”

2. She Jumps Rope

Malhotra shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen jumping rope. ACE Fitness states that jumping rope is very beneficial. “Jumping rope can increase the elasticity and resiliency of lower-leg muscles, leading to a reduced risk of lower-leg injuries. Calf raises can strengthen the lower leg, but if the muscle tissue becomes too tight it could increase the risk of a number of lower-leg injuries including achilles tendon strain or plantar fasciitis. Jumping rope regularly strengthens the calf muscles and improves the elasticity of the surrounding tendons and fascia. To increase elasticity, try to land on the ball of the foot first, but let your heels go all of the way down to the ground.”

3. She Does Yoga

Malhotra is seen doing yoga poses in the previous Instagram post. Yoga is very beneficial. John Hopkins Medicine states, “Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility. Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. Yoga is as good as basic stretching for easing pain and improving mobility in people with lower back pain. The American College of Physicians recommends yoga as a first-line treatment for chronic low back pain.”

4. She Lifts Weights

Malhotra is seen doing deadlifts with a barbell in her Instagram post. Lifting weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness reports, “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

5. She Does Hanging Crunches

Malhotra likes to do core workouts to stay in shape. In her Instagram post, she is seen doing hanging abdominal crunches. Core workouts are very important to do. The Mayo Clinic states, “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony.”
