Keerthy Suresh is a very successful Indian actress. She has appeared in several films, including, Ring Master, Sarkar, and Remo. She likes to do yoga, and shared a video on Instagram of herself doing it recently. In it, Suresh is seen in a headstand pose, while her dog watches. She captioned the post, “The beauty of seeing the world upside down.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Keerthy Suresh stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Has A Dog

As you can also see in her Instagram post, Suresh has a dog, whom she prominently features on Instagram. The Animal Health Foundation states that pets can reduce stress. “Sure, it can be stressful to have pets when you are afraid one might be sick or you can’t figure out how to get them to stop breaking your blinds, but overall, pets are known to reduce stress. Cortisol is a hormone activated by stress, and studies have found that being around animals can decrease cortisol levels. For this reason, many offices are starting to allow employees to bring dogs to work, and some universities are letting students borrow dogs during stressful times of the year.”

2. She’s Determined

Determination,Level,Conceptual,Meter,Indicate,Maximum,,Isolated,On,White,BackgroundShutterstock

Suresh opened up about her career in an interview with The Hindustan Times. She says that she has a strong desire to succeed. “I have started to feel more responsible after ‘Mahanati’. My determination to be a perfectionist goes up if it’s a female-centric movie with the aim of exploring myself as an actor. I am open to doing web-series provided the concept/story is good and my feature film schedules are not affected.”

3. She Dances

Suresh likes to dance. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a dance challenge. Prudential reports that dancing has a lot of benefits. One of the benefits is improving your flexibility. “The movements associated with dance can increase flexibility and reduce stiffness. Don’t over-exert yourself though – even the simple stretches associated with dancing can help ease joint pain and any soreness from other more strenuous exercises.”

4. She Does Push-Ups

Suresh likes to do push-ups. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself doing them. Harvard Health states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “The push-up engages your body from top to bottom. It works several muscle groups at once: the arms, chest, abdomen (core), hips, and legs. Push-ups also can be modified as needed.”

5. She Does Yoga

As you can see from her recent post, Suresh likes to do yoga to stay in shape. Yoga has a lot of health benefits. John Hopkins Medicine reports, “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.”

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

Sanya Malhotra.2Sanya Malhotra/Instagram

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

Sanya Malhotra.4Sanya Malhotra/Instagram

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

Sanya Malhotra.5Sanya Malhotra/Instagram

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.”

Sameera-ReddySameera Reddy/Instagram

Sameera maintains that intermittent fasting has helped her manage her weight. In an Instagram Q&A she discussed the method and included a list of dos and don’ts.

"Don’ts

  • If you are a beginner, don’t start at 16 hours directly. Start at 12 and gradually build up the hours, constantly checking adaptability with your body.
  • Don’t tell yourself that 16 hours is better than 12 as it is not true. What works best for you is true for you,” mentioned Reddy.
  • Don’t do two large meals at the start and end of fasting hours. Eat normally throughout the day while maintaining fasting hours.
  • Don’t binge on junk and processed foods as this will not allow for digestive recovery, which is the aim of IF.
  • Don’t avoid exercise. You need to exercise for good health whether fasting or not.

Dos

  • Eat well-nourished meals throughout the day.
  • Work on increasing fasting hours gradually.
  • Eat according to the individual caloric requirement.
  • Break the fast with a nutrient-rich balanced meal rather than only carbs.
  • Stay hydrated
  • Have a consistent routine and ensure you are taking in enough nutrition to fuel your body.
  • To make it holistic, ensure your sleeping pattern is in sync.
  • Irrespective of your fasting hours, don’t finish your last meal later than 8 pm."

2. She Strength Trains

For me being CONSISTENT and DISCIPLINED is my only way to make sure I don’t fall off the plan,” she added. She also cycles four times a week and plays badminton three times.

5. She Doesn’t Get Discouraged

Sameera stays positive when it comes to her weight loss journey, even when she doesn’t make her goals. “The last bit is the hardest! But I try and stay consistent with the workouts. I’m not going to make my Diwali target, but I’m going to keep going!” she captioned this Instagram post. “My whole process has slowed down but sometimes it’s good to stop and reset!

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

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.

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.
