Indian actress Mrunal Thakur enjoyed an incredible vacation while hiking with her friends in the beautiful Himalayas. Thakur, 32, shared highlights from the adventurous trip, including snaps of herself wearing pink and black workout gear while posing against the dramatic scenery. “Best environment,” she captioned the post. Thakur is dedicated to her health and fitness routine and is open about how she stays strong and motivated. Here’s how she does it!
Workout Routine
Thakur loves to mix up her workouts, both at home and when she’s traveling. “I’m always carrying my skipping rope, Theraband and TRX with me,” she told Femina. “Or, I carry a yoga mat, which allows me to do Surya Namaskars. I also do some Pilates by following online videos. My team loves dancing, so that’s a fun workout we indulge in every now and then. Apart from this, I love doing mixed martial arts, which I got into after Toofan. I love sparring too, I feel relaxed with it. Girls today should always know a skill for self-defence.”
Lemon Water

Second, eggs are necessary. As a Maharashtrian, my breakfast is incomplete without a bowl of upma, poha or dosa. I need the carbs to start my day and stay high on energy. Lastly, fruits are always a part of my breakfast spread.”
Inspired By Hrithik Roshan
Thakur is inspired by Hrithik Roshan’s deduction to fitness. “When I used to wake up in the morning for the 7 am shift, Hrithik would already be in the gym,” she told Filmfare. “After the pack-up in the evening, he would hit the gym again. I remember days when I used to be quite exhausted but I would push myself to do a couple of Surya Namaskars. So yes, Hrithik has inspired me a lot.””
Devoted to Yoga
Thakur is a dedicated yogi. “Yoga isn’t about being good at something, it’s about being good to yourself ✨,” she captioned an Instagram video. “To me yoga isn’t just a workout (even though it is an intense one), but it’s more like self care...yoga helps me find my balance, accept my shortcomings and make peace with them. I know that practice makes perfect, and I’m still far from it...but every wobble, every fall, only makes me want to try harder each day.”
Bedtime Routine

Thakur enjoys a quiet, relaxing wind-down routine at bedtime. “Besides pampering my skin, I make sure I have a book and my iPad next to me,” she told Femina. “I like falling asleep either while reading something or watching something. I don’t recommend the latter, though. I’ve recently begun reading a lot of books and always keep a bottle of freshly-filled water beside my bed.”
