Indian actress Darshana Banik is having a great start to the week. Banik shared a reel of herself wearing a black and gold sparkly swimsuit, stepping out of a swimming pool in slow motion. “No Monday morning blues,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Banik 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. Yoga and Zumba

Banik says she wouldn’t describe herself as a “fitness freak”, preferring gentle exercise. “I love doing yoga or zumba at home,” she says. “I don’t follow any strict diet, and I usually avoid junk food. It’s always homemade food for me, with daal bhaat (rice and pulses) being my comfort food.”

2. No Sugar

Banik feels much better since removing sugar from her diet. “I think having sweets or refined sugar is more harmful than fried foods,” she says. “With sugar detox, I have noticed positive changes. I have acne-prone and oily skin. The skin texture seems much better now. Also, my hair fall problems have stopped. At times, during festivities, when I badly crave sweets, I just take a small bite.”

3. Healthy Snacks

Banik’s everyday diet is based on fresh fruit and vegetables, plus staying hydrated. The actress makes sure even her snacks are healthy and nutritious. “My daily diet comprises a healthy dose of fresh fruits and nuts apart from plenty of water including coconut water,” she says.

4. Home Cooking

Banik cooks at home as much as possible. “I always eat light-spiced, homemade food and avoid junk items totally,” she says. “My day begins with oats or a healthy, wholesome South Indian breakfast. For lunch, it can be chicken stew, rice, daal and some salad. I love sipping lemon water throughout the day.”

5. Simple Beauty Routine

Banik follows a simple yet effective beauty routine. “Left to myself, I am just a lip balm and sunscreen person, and I don’t wear make-up at all, if I am not shooting,” she says. “I always prefer the fresh, dewy look. To take care of my skin, I religiously follow cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Also, once a week, I scrub my body with a homemade paste of almonds, turmeric, neem, orange peels and olive oil.”

1. She Dances

Bharathi loves to dance as a way to stay in shape. She specifically loves to do dance based cardio exercises, as she did in this video she posted on Instagram. She captioned the video, “I Iove dance workout as it helps me stay healthy and happy. You guys should def give a try!” This can help your brain, too. “A recent NIA-supported study from the University of Wisconsin led by Dr. Ozioma Okonkwo found that even moderate physical activity may increase metabolism in brain regions important for learning and memory,” says one study.

2. She Does Yoga

One of Bharathi’s favorite ways to stay in shape is by practicing yoga. She posted this stunning photo of herself in a tree pose outside on Instagram. She wrote in the caption, “Yoga is something which is new to me,but my love towards my work has made me to do it to this level. Obviously there will be flaws but that is how we learn to do new things.”

3. She Meditates

Bharathi likes to start her mornings out with some meditation. She posted this video on Instagram of herself in a lotus pose doing some deep breaths. She captioned the video, “Rise and shine.” Meditation is a great way to relax, focus, and clear your mind. “Mindfulness meditation is the practice of purposefully focusing our attention on the awareness of the present moment as it relates to our thoughts, feelings, sensations in our body and our sense of the environment around us. Mindfulness practice is rooted in eastern meditation practices,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Loves To Do Outdoor Activities

Bharathi loves to go outside, and she loves to do outdoor activities. On a recent trip to the Maldives, she spent a lot of time outside. In this Twitter post, Bharathi is seen going for a bike ride, and walking by the water. She wrote in the tweet, “Maldives you beaut!”

5. She Gets Vitamin D

Bharathi spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, this means she spends a lot of time in the sun, and gets a lot of Vitamin D. Bharathi likes to go to the beach, as seen in this Tweet. She wrote, “All we need is love and sunsets.” “Certain foods — fortified foods, such as milk and cereal, and fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna and mackerel — also provide vitamin D. Chemical reactions in your liver and kidneys transform vitamin D into forms that your body can use,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Indian star Nidhi Bhanushali loves nothing more than being outside, especially in the water. Bhanushali, 24, shared pictures of herself wearing an aquamarine and black bikini, playing around in a natural pond. “The last of our happy faces before an eardrum ruptured, a tongue got caught between the teeth and an eye turned black,” she jokingly captioned the post.

1. Melon For a Snack

Melon is one of Bhanushali’s go-to snacks. “Melons are not only low in calories and fat, but they are also high in essential vitamins and minerals, and water content,” says the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “In fact, a fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew contains up to 90 percent water, making them some of the most thirst-quenching snacks around. And serving them is simple as can be.”

2. Love For Travel

Bhanushali says she loves going on road trips with her beloved dog. “Travel exposes you to different environments, which create stronger antibodies and boost your immune system significantly,” according to the Yale Tribune. “Antibodies are the little proteins that shield your immune system from deadly pathogens, and multiple research studies imply that being exposed to dirty or minor illnesses really keeps your body and gut more grounded.”

3. Surfing In the Sun

Bhanushali is an accomplished surfer. “Exercising outside can offer many benefits,” according to the National Library of Medicine. “It can help improve your mood, expose you to vitamin D from the sun, and increase your energy level. It also offers a varied landscape that you do not get indoors.”

4. Hiking In the Mountains

Bhanushali loves camping and hiking in the great outdoors. “Being in nature can boost your mood and improve mental health,” says the National Park Service. “Spending quality time in the great outdoors reduces stress, calms anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford University.”

5. The Importance of Me-Time

Bhanushali supports her mental health by taking time for herself. “I am a social person; yet I believe in being private,” she says. “I enjoy my personal space and I don’t like it when it’s intruded upon by anyone. Me-time is my favorite time.”

2. She Starts Her Day with Breathwork

Mira starts her day with breathwork. “12 rounds of Anulom Vilom: it’s like 3 espresso shots but without the jitters. Gets you mentally ready for the day, calm, rejuvenated and a wake up for the brain!” she revealed in an Instagram post.

3. She Also Drinks Raisin and Saffron Water

Entertainment India - May 2022Prodip Guha/Getty Images

In the same post she revealed that she also starts the day with an interesting beverage. “Drink raisin+ saffron water,” she wrote. “A practise for every woman, and I’ve been doing this for the last 3 years. I soak 5 raisins and a strand of saffron every night in 1/4 cup of water and drink(or eat) it first thing in the morning. It helps with hormonal balancing, pain-free periods, acne and PMS. I’ve felt the difference myself. Drink your warm water or whatever you prefer after.”

4. She Does HIIT Workouts

After only doing cardio and pilates for years, Mira added HIIT workouts to her routine. “It was last year that I started noticing hair loss and fluctuating vitamin levels. I had to become more responsible about my body after two pregnancies,” she told Vogue India.

5. She Does Yoga

Mira also does yoga. “A bit of a stretch,” she captioned a recent post. “I had a great class of deep stretching, hip openers and thoracic twists while my yoga buddy and apparent yoga expert stretched his fingers on WhatsApp.. So I pulled him on the mat for a Pranayama series at the end. The Bhramari Pranayama is one of my favourites; it’s calming, invigorating and great as a part of the entire series that for me included Surya Nadi breathing and Bhastrika. Clearly, he needs it more than me. Also, my half lotus is better than yours.”

6. She Exercises for Mental Health

“For me, fitness is important in all aspects – mind, body, and soul. It is a combination of working out, going for a walk, playing with kids, meditation, yoga. All of these things I think make you physically and mentally fit and sound,” Mira said about her approach to fitness in an Instagram post.

Plaque development in your arteries can lead to chest pain, coronary artery disease or a heart attack."

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

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

Pilates

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.

Emsculpt NEO

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.
