Monalisa is hitting the gym in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the Bigg Boss star shows off her slimmed down figure during an exercise session. “Rehearsal vibes,” she captioned one of the Instagram Stories. How does the Indian actress, 41, approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. When Her Career Got Busy, She Gained Weight

"I was extremely slim when I first entered the industry. I would always maintain myself and regularly go to the gym,” she said, per The Sun. "But I had work commitments and outdoor shoots, for which I had to shoot daily when I was doing Bhojpuri films. I couldn't properly maintain my diet."

2. She Slimmed Down After Leaving Bigg Boss House

After leaving the Bigg Boss house Monalisa lost a whopping 22 pounds. "When I did Bigg Boss 10, I lost 10 kg after coming out of the house. That was superb. I wonder how I lost so much weight,” she said. "It was an experience of a lifetime being in the Bigg Boss house. After doing that reality show, I got a lot of love and became popular all over India. I got name and fame. It was such a happy moment for me."

3. She Works Out with Her Husband

Monalisa lost another 15 pounds by working out with her husband Vikrant. "I did planks, I watched videos on the internet and did cardio for 45 minutes to 1 hour regularly,” she said. "We would workout every day.”

4. She Also Did Yoga and Meditation

"I did yoga, meditation regularly,” she added. Harvard Health explains why you should consider doing yoga. “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.”

5. She Followed a “Strict Diet"

“I followed a strict diet to keep my immunity strong and lose weight also,” she added. One of her main tactics is cooking meals at home. “I am still continuing my diet, and haven't stopped. I feel 70 percent of it is diet and 30 percent exercise."

Louise Redknapp is letting fans see what her live performance dance rehearsals look like. Redknapp, 49, shared a video of herself wearing black pants and a white shirt, going through a routine with her team. “A little look behind the scenes at Mighty Hoopla rehearsals 🤍 been having so much fun putting this show together for you! See you at 6.40pm this Sunday xxx,” she captioned the post. “How does she still look soooo amazing 😍🔥,” a fan commented. Here’s how the British singer stays fit, happy, and full of energy.

1. She Loves Pilates

Redknapp enjoys Pilates workouts on the reformer machine. "I love Pilates on the tower or on the reformer just because it's quick and it feels like a proper workout,” she told HELLO!. “One of my best friends is a pilates instructor so get through the whole hour. I think that's why I love it so much because I just lie there, my legs in straps doing an exercise and we're chatting away so it's lovely, just a nice thing to go and do."

2. Peloton and Love Island

Redknapp likes to ride her stationary bike while watching TV. “I've got a Peloton at home,” she told HELLO!. “I watch Love Island and go for a bike ride in the lounge, [people] must be looking [at me] like 'what was she doing?' If I've got a night in, I get on the Peloton, bike ride, do a few situps, then I'm done.”

3. Natural Beauty

Redknapp credits her preference for a natural look for her glowing skin. “I think it has something to do with the make-up I wear and the products I put on my skin,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I have always used quite a dewy base on my face which perhaps gives it a slight shine. I prefer a natural look to a full-on face of glam make-up.”

4. Grounded Life

Redknapp says she lives a very grounded life. “I am very aware I have had an amazing life and a great career, which has not come easy and has required a lot of hard work,” she told Women’s Fitness. “As long as I surround myself with the right people, I am OK. My two sons are my absolute world. The media speculate why I am not out there in the papers being photographed dating or with a new man on my arm, but I have not chosen to take that path. My priority is and always will be to be the best mum I can to my kids, who are my pride and joy.”

5. Not a Gym Bunny

Redknapp is not always motivated to work out. “If someone said to me, 'do you want to meet for a drink and a bit of dinner on Tuesday night or go to the gym?' I mean, I'm always going to meet my mate for dinner,” she told HELLO!. “The gym is not at the front of my priorities. I'm not a big gym bunny… I'd love to do yoga but after about three minutes I start thinking about all the other things I should be doing rather than sitting in this position and thinking I haven't got time for this today.”

Romee Strijd is a successful model. She’s best known for being a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Strijd recently hit the gym, and shared photos on Instagram. In them, she wore a green top, pants, and hoodie. She captioned the post, “Monday morning mood.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Romee Strijd stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Yoga & Pilates

Strijid shared some of her secrets for staying fit for jobs to HollywoodLife. She says that she does a combination of yoga and Pilates. “I do a lot of pilates lately,” she shared. “I feel like that’s really good. And yoga to lengthen your legs out. I’ll try to do it three days a week. It really depends on my work schedule. I just uploaded my YouTube video on how to lengthen your legs.”

2. She Eats Healthy

Strijd makes sure to eat healthy. She shared her typical diet with HollywoodLife. “Breakfast is toast with avocado and an egg then I’ll probably have a snack around 11, like a nice piece of fruit. Lunch is mostly a good carb, like brown rice with chicken or salmon and some vegetables and then I’ll have a juice in the afternoon. At dinnertime, I’ll make a big salad or pasta — Anything I feel like!”

3. She Works Out A Lot Before A Job

Whenever Strijd has a big job, like a fashion show, she makes sure to do a lot of workouts leading up to it. “I don’t really cut out any food,” she tells HollywoodLife. “I workout more often so I really need food to build some muscle. I definitely amp up my workouts and workout around 5 days a week for one and a half hours a day.”

4. She Uses Her Abs

Strijd shared her workout secrets in an interview with ELLE. She says that she makes sure to use her abs in all exercises, even when she’s not doing ab exercises. “For abs, I like a little circuit on the mat. With every [exercise], you should always be using your abs—even when you do squats. Try to feel them [with every movement]. I’ve been doing everything myself with ankle weights and resistance bands, and I bring my jump rope when I travel. You can even do it in a hotel room if you have a mat.”

5. She’s Motivated To Workout

Strijd makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She shared her secrets for staying motivated in her interview with ELLE. “I’m not always motivated, but you just have to go do it because afterwards you feel so great and you enjoy the day more because you’ve done it. So, just start somewhere. Just do something. Say to yourself that you only have 15 minutes or something and then it comes from there.”

Rashida Jones is showing off her dance moves – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Sunny actress flaunts her amazing figure while dancing with John Havic. “Dancing into summer,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Pilates

Jones doesn’t consider herself a "[workout] freak," she told Women's Health. She rarely sticks to a routine. "I'll go through stages when I get really into something; like, I'll start running six times a week," she said. "Right now I'm into pilates three times a week, which is great because it makes me feel strong."

2. Spinning

Jones told Health that she also likes spinning. 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. Why is pilates a good workout? 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. Meditation

Jones gets wellness inspiration from her mom, Peggy Lipton. "She has always been holistic about beauty — she puts on sunblock, drinks a ton of water, takes care of herself, meditates. I'm less strict, but I do meditate, eat well, work out. And I love being in nature with no mirrors — just trees and a good sweat,” she said. “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Lowering resting heart rate
• Lowering resting blood pressure
• Improving sleep quality

4. Loving the Post Exercise Feel

While Jones hates exercise "more than anything when I am on my way to the gym," she told Health, she tries to think about that post-exercise glow. "I love exercise more than anything as soon as I leave the gym and for the rest of the day," she said.

5. Dancing

Jones revealed to Health that her workout inspiration comes from Fox's So You Think You Can Dance. "Those dancers are ridiculously strong and amazing," she said. "It makes me want to move my body (in a much less graceful way)." Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even 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.
