Malavika Mohanan is getting her sweat on – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her fit figure in a crop top and leggings, sharing a motivational message with her followers. “Firing up the routine with @klinton81 as there’s just one week left for my next schedule to begin 💪🏻,” she writes in the Instagram caption. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Consistency and Discipline

In her recent post, Malavika explains that her motivation to exercise has changed. “Workout for me started off as wanting to work on the aesthetics of my body, but now has become something else entirely. Watching my own strength and resilience increase gradually and to watch my body now do things which in the past have felt seemingly impossible makes me realise the power of ‘one day at a time’ and how the only 2 things you need(which are also the hardest) are consistency and discipline to grow in pretty much anything you set out to do 💪🏻.”

2. Very Little Alcohol

Malavika tries not to drink her calories. “I try not to drink too often because I workout and eat healthy. But I do enjoy it every once in while. I like pretty much all kinds of liquor, depending on where I am and what the occasion is. But I do particular enjoy trying out different kinds of cocktails!” she told Binge Daily..

3. Veggie Juice

Malavika is a fan of juicing. “What I eat for breakfast when I’m eating healthy 🍃 -Vegetable juice(Usually a mix of 2-3 differently coloured vegetables/occasionally a fruit too. Here it’s beetroot, celery and apple 🍎 . I know it’s way healthier just to eat a fruit but I find these juices to be a quick vitamin drink when I’m having an extremely crazy day and don’t have too much time to eat too many things),” she revealed in an Instagram post.

4. Protein Packed Diet

Malavika consumes a lot of protein. Sometimes she will have muesli or granola and yogurt for breakfast or a snack. “I either eat it with yogurt for breakfast or snack on it in the evenings if I’m shooting in a place where there’s no healthy snack options available around,” she revealed on Instagram. She also loves egg white omelets “with lots of veggies,” she said. “Morning protein! (I hate eating vegetables 🤢 I only like potato, which really doesn’t serve the purpose of vegetable-eating for fibre & other minerals. So I try to mix it up as much as I can with other preparations like eggs or cutlets or curries so I don’t have to eat it in a salad form 🤓),” she added.

5. Exercise

“I wouldn’t call myself a fitness freak, but through my schooling years, I was majorly into athletics. I really liked sports and sprint running,” Malavika told The New Indian Express. “Currently, I am on a very strict diet regime — strict workouts and stunt classes. So, right now, I am 200 per cent a fitness freak.”

Actress Malavika Mohanan has starred in many projects, including the film Christy. She also recently had a pool day. Mohanan shared a set of underwater photos on Instagram this week.

But I do enjoy it every once in a while. I like pretty much all kinds of liquor, depending on where I am and what the occasion is.”

When it comes to fitness, it depends on what job Mohanan is doing at the moment. “As an actor now, I think it really depends on the role,” she tells Indulge Express. “For instance, when I was doing Christy, I completely stopped working out because I couldn’t look too toned. I needed to have a more real body for a character like that. My muscles couldn’t look too tight, my triceps couldn’t be showing. As soon as Christy got over, I started working out for Pa. Ranjith’s film required me to be very fit. Currently, I am on a very strict diet regime — strict workouts and stunt classes. So, right now, I am 200 percent a fitness freak.”

3. She Ignores Trolls

Mohanan has no time for bullies and trolls. “I’m someone who hates bullying and being bullied,” she tells New Indian Express. “Every day, I come across scores of faceless people hiding behind the facade of social media and venting out all their frustration on others. It’s just a sad life they’re leading, and I think the best way to deal is to ignore them. But some of them can be really mean, and that’s when I get agitated and feel the need to call out.”

4. She Studies Martial Arts

Thank you @0763.shankarofficial for being so patient with me, while I continue discovering this beautiful world.”

5. She Works With A Trainer

Mohanan, like many others, uses a personal trainer to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself lying on a yoga mat after a session. Mohanan captioned the post, “When your trainer says he’s making you stronger but is secretly trying to kill you 😪 🔪 @klinton81.” Having a personal trainer can help someone stay motivated.

Here’s how Mandanna stays fit, happy, and strong.

1. Balanced Diet With Treats

Mandanna loves a balanced diet with a little bit of everything. “I’ve tried and tested all the diets in the world and have come to realize that ‘ghar ka khana‘ is the best,” she told Indian Express. “Nothing keeps you nourished like the food you’ve grown up eating. Being an absolute foodie, it takes everything in my power to follow a strict and clean diet. But, that doesn’t stop me from indulging in some of my favorite foods over the weekend. I love my sushi and my soup noodles but most of all, I have such a sweet tooth. I am a total sucker for anything sweet: chocolates, desserts, ice cream, you name it, and it is on my cravings-list.”

2. Go-To Workouts

Mandanna loves running and strength training. After all the cheat meals over the weekend, running is my go-to savior to get me back on track,” she told Indian Express. “My fitness regime is all-rounded with a good mix of cardio, Pilates and weight-lifting to retain a strong core. I make sure I start my day with one hour of running, as it pumps me up as a start to a chaotic day.”

3. Unique Beauty

Mandanna has a holistic approach to health and beauty. “I feel all young women out there should embrace their natural beauty,” she told Lifestyle India. “Concentrate on nurturing yourself from within, give priority to self-care, use natural ingredients in your skincare and body care routines, and envelop yourself in positivity. You are unique and beautiful just as you are.”

4. Good Habits

5. Self-Care Mantra

Mandanna knows mental health is crucial for self-care. “I believe self-care is not only a beauty regime for me, but it is a way to de-stress and ensure my physical and mental well-being,” she told Indian Express. “A part of how I am is, of course, genetic, but in order to maintain the healthy glow of my skin I religiously follow the ritual of double-cleansing every time I am back from the sun, and keeping myself hydrated throughout the day. As part of my self-care routine, I always like to feel fresh on-the-go even on a hectic day of being outdoors. This is where I depend on deodorant to always help me feel confident, instantly refreshing my mind and mood.”

In the video, Ashika does a variety of strength training exercises including jumping jacks, burpees, squats, deadlifts, knee ups, sled pushes, kettlebell swings, and lunges.

2. Pilates

Ashika is a Pilates devotee, sharing lots of social media posts of herself on the reformer. “Many moods of Pilates Miss hanging around.. 💪🏻” she captioned a curation of snaps. According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

3. Yoga and Meditation

Ashika enjoys the mind-body connection of yoga and meditation. “I have been doing yoga and meditation for some time now, , which is helping me find balance,” she told Times of India. 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.”

4. AMRAP Workouts

Ashika is also a fan of AMRAP workouts – as many reps as possible. She recently shared a 12-minute session with her followers. In it she does:

15 Calorie row

12 box jump

9 push ups

5. Nature Walks

Ashika balances her hardcore workouts with nature walks. Here she is enjoying the outdoors while getting exercise. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
