Kritika Kamra In Workout Gear Says “But First, Coffee”

Indian actress Kritika Kamra is ready for her workout—but needs to make sure she gets an energy boost first. Kamra, 35, is currently in London, UK, and is keeping busy by exploring the beautiful city and its many parks. Kamra shared a picture of herself wearing black leggings, sneakers, and a jacket, taking a selfie in a London hotel room. “But first ☕️,” she captioned the post. Kamra then took another snap of herself holding a coffee at Café Leon Dore. Here’s how the star stays fit and focused.

1. JOMO and Intermittent Fasting

Kamra is happy to spend time with her friends and family, focusing on healthy habits and her career. "I have JOMO now (Joy Of Missing Out),” she told Hindustan Times. “I‘m very happy spending time with myself and with my close ones who really matter. I’ll take quality time and a good meal over a big event or the best party in town any day. I try my best to not miss a workout. I follow a time restricted pattern of eating and sleep eight hours, although still very late at night. That’s something I’m still working on.”

2. Beauty and Fitness

Kamra loves yoga, dancing, and kickboxing to stay fit and active. “I love outdoor activities a lot. Whenever I have time, I do cardio, but I hate working out in machines,” she told India Forums. “[Beauty and fitness] go hand in hand. You can only notice this when you keep yourself fit. If you are fit, your skin starts to glow automatically and your hair becomes nicer.”

3. Protecting Her Privacy

Kamra is careful to protect her privacy, choosing not to share information about who she is dating. "Yes, it’s a deliberate choice to maintain privacy,” she told Hindustan Times. “I understand that I’m a public figure and hence, my work and life will be scrutinized. So I choose to only share what I welcome feedback on. I don’t think my love life needs that kind of attention.”

4. Sustainable Diet

Kamra is a strong proponent for balance when it comes to diet, and realistic goals. “I am completely a foodie. But yes, I try my level best to limit myself while eating,” she told India Forums. “ I eat a lot of cheese and a lot of chocolates. My policy is that we have only one life and we should eat to live. Having said that, I will also like to add that excess eating is also not good.”

5. Grateful For Fans

Kamra is thrilled about the response to her web series Bambai Meri Jaan. “This show means a lot to me, I’m glad those who watched it have liked it and are eagerly waiting for the next season,” she told Hindustan Times. “I have a lot to offer as an actor and a lot to learn as well and I’m always on the lookout for bigger, better opportunities. Getting work, choosing the right kind of work is a big part of this profession and sometimes takes more than it does to act. It’s challenging but that only makes the journey better and rewards sweeter.”

Bollywood actress Chahatt Khanna is posting some throwback photos, much to the appreciation of her fans. Khanna shared a picture of herself wearing a black two-piece swimsuit, posing in the sand. “Old pic but epic,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Khanna stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Keto Diet

Khanna adapted the keto diet before a filming project. “Yes I have taken to the Keto diet for an upcoming project and I must say that I have never felt better,” she says. “I have never felt more energetic and focused. However it's important to do it in the right way because it can all go wrong very easily. It's important to have a dietitian to guide you once you take it. I have been under great guidance and I have been preparing for something very important. So let's see how it fares. One day at a time and I wish to see some miraculous changes very soon."

2. Fresh Fruit

Khanna loves fresh fruit, especially cherries and mango which she calls her weakness. "Vitamin C is good for immunity," says Maya Vadiveloo, an assistant professor in the department of nutrition and food sciences at the University of Rhode Island. "It's an antioxidant so it can help with oxidative stress in the body. The primary benefit, in addition to being a really good source of vitamin C, is that (mangoes) are a decent source of vitamin A, folate and are pretty high in fiber, which is beneficial for colon cancer prevention, heart disease and weight control."

3. Tea First Thing

Khanna starts the day with a delicious cup of black tea. “Black tea packs a punch when it comes to heart health. Theaflavins help to lower blood cholesterol,” says UCLA Health. “And flavonoids — the same antioxidants found in red wine, dark chocolate and nuts —reduce the risk of heart disease by 8%. Studies show that with every cup of tea you drink daily, you can lower your blood pressure, the risk of major cardiovascular events (such as heart attack and stroke) and the threat of death from heart disease.”

4. She’s a Dancer

Khanna is a talented dancer. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD, a leading health psychologist who studies the mind-body connection, and author of The Joy of Movement.

5. She’s a Coffee Person

Khanna calls herself a “coffee person”. “There aren’t a lot of downsides to drinking moderate amounts of coffee — and in fact, it can have positive effects on your health,” says Devon Peart, MHSc, BASc, RD. “Coffee contains about a thousand different botanical compounds.”

It’s leg day for Krissy Cela! In a new social media post the fitness influencer shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout look while sharing her lower body workout. “I got you with this one. Simple but effective leg day you need to try 🤝Workout feeling even better in the cute fit… 👀” she captioned the post. How can you do her workout at home and what her other top lifestyle habits? Celebwell has the details.

1. Leg Day Workout

Here is Krissy’s leg day workout:

RDL’s (Romanian deadlifts) 4 sets 8 reps

Glute bridge’s 4 sets 8 reps

Sumo dumbbell squats 4 sets 8 reps

Dumbbell lunges 3 sets 10 reps each leg

Lateral lunges 3 sets 10 reps each leg

2. Early Riser

Krissy wakes up early. “I tend to wake up at around half five or six. The reason I wake up so early, it sounds ridiculous, but it helps me do everything I need to do for myself before I can give myself to everybody else. I have this concept where it's all fair and well doing things for the people we love, but if we're not taking some time out for ourselves, to check in or be productive, we'll constantly feel bottom of the list. So I wake up, half five or six o'clock,” she told Closer.

3. Coffee and Preworkout

“The first thing I do is brush my teeth and get ready for the gym. Don't think twice, I just put my workout gear on,” Krissy says about her morning routine. “Then I'll drink my coffee or have my pre-workout.” She explains that she “loves” the pre-workout drink, “because I'm a caffeine addict.” She also takes probiotic pills “which helps my digestion and hormones. I have also started using collagen in my coffee now, it really helps me kickstart my day.”

4. Reading

“The one thing I love to do is read on the train. I love taking this time just to read because I know when I'll get to the office, it'll be insane. Taking the time to be productive and get my mental state ready is crucial,” Krissy told Closer. “At the moment I'm reading The Chimp Paradox and on an evening, I'm reading this book called Calm The F**k Down by Sarah Knight. I'm always reading two books at once!”

5. Daily Exercise

“Firstly, moving my body is a big big thing. I have to always move my body,” says Krissy about her number one health habit. “I'm either working out in my little home gym or I am going to the gym and I'll train for one hour, tops.”

6. Protein Shakes

“So for me, every single day I have protein shakes, it's just convenient. It's a great way for me to up my protein intake, but it's something I don't rely on. Food is key. Protein shakes are a step up from what you already have, so if you don't have a healthy diet or consistent training routine, then you can't expect it to do what it's supposed to do,” says Krissy.

Indian actress Shanaya Kapoor is on vacation in the beautiful Maldives, staying at the Joali Being island retreat. Kapoor shared many pictures and videos from her trip, including ones of her wearing a variety of swimsuits while relaxing in the pool and exploring the resort. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kapoor stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Coffee Every Day

Kapoor jokes that she doesn’t know what a day without coffee feels like. “The overall evidence has been pretty convincing that coffee has been more healthful than harmful in terms of health outcomes,” says Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “For most people, moderate coffee consumption can be incorporated into a healthy diet.”

2. “Weights Before Dates”

Kapoor’s fitness mantra is “weights before dates”. “Such exercises also improve glucose metabolism, enhance maintenance of healthy body weight, and help improve cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure,” says I-Min Lee, professor of epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “All these factors lead to lower risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, which lowers mortality risk.”

3. Belly Dancing

Kapoor enjoys belly dancing lessons with instructor Sanjana Muthreja. “Belly dancing is really a full body workout,” Muthreja tells Vogue India. “It involves a lot of core work and engages your hips. It not only helps as a cardiovascular workout (you can lose up to a 1000 calories in one Tahitian class due to the constant explosive movements), but it also strengthens the core muscles, which helps to stabilize the spine.”

4. Avocado Toast For Breakfast

Kapoor loves delicious avocado toast for a typical breakfast. “Avocados are high in fat with 60 percent of this being monounsaturated fats, which research suggests helps to protect against heart disease and lower blood pressure,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “They are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fiber, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system.”

5. Skincare Routine

Kapoor’s skincare routine is focused on hydration. “In winters, it’s more or less the same, though I use lesser quantity of serums, as sometimes, it can dry out my skin a little,” she says. “I use more moisturizer and apply lip balm throughout the day and at night. In terms of fashion, for me, a chic bag always plays the most important role in leveling up any outfit. My current favorite range of bags is from Miraggio, who I’ve associated with. It has young, fun, and quirky designs, and is suitable for any occasion.”

Kriti Sanon is getting her sweat on – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Indian actress flaunts her amazing figure in a sports bra and leggings during a workout session with her personal trainer, Karan Sawhney.“Glute Morning! ✌️👊🏻🦵🏻🏋️‍♀️Get Set Tribe!” she captioned the post. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. A Multi-Faceted Approach to Health

Kriti approaches health from all angles. “Being fit is being healthy and happy—it’s all correlated. Being fit means having a good immune system, a good balance in your body, and good stamina and strength,” she told Vogue India.

2. HIIT, Pilates, and Yoga

HIIT, pilates, and yoga are all part of Kriti’s exercise routine. “Depending on where I’m staying, I try to find a gym nearby. I mainly go for weight training with exercises I can do on my own,” she added in another interview. “When there is no gym available, like when I was shooting for Heropanti in Patiala, I used to go for running and used a yoga mat in my room to do mat exercises.”

3. Dance

Kriti also dances. “I also love dancing and add it to my workouts 2-3 times a week. Dancing is a great form of workout because you use your whole body, it’s not monotonous at all. I’ve learnt kathak as a child but I’m not so much into classical dancing. I like mixing forms—sometimes jazz, sometimes Bollywood and contemporary,” she revealed in a 2018 interview. Dancing helps build strength and promote flexibility, and also helps you lose weight and promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

4. Small Portion Sizes

Kriti avoids eating large meals. “It’s important to watch what you eat, when you eat, and the gap between your meals. Have smaller portions every two hours,” she shared in an interview. “I sometimes like having dates too, it gives you instant energy,” she added.

5. Mental Health

Kriti. “Take care of your body and it will take care of you,” she shared on World Health Day on Instagram, along with a photo of herself meditating. “Get out of your lazy beds and do some exercise- walk around, yoga, mat workout, dance (my fav), cardio, anything.. just wake up every inch of your body, and you’ll have a great day.”

6. Here Is Her Workout

In her latest workout video Kriti does a variety of exercises with her trainer.

• Elevated deficit lunge
• Single leg hip thrust
• Sumo squats
• Weighted lateral squats
