Indian actress and model Deepika Das is enjoying a beautiful vacation in the Seychelles islands. Das, 30, shared pictures of herself in a two-piece purple bikini top and skirt, with a black hat to protect her face from the sun. “Stay patient & trust the journey …. ⛎. Be honest : be powerful: be strong,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Das 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. Balancing Diet and Exercise

Das doesn’t restrict food groups, instead working out more to balance out her diet. “Be it health or beauty, for both, food is very important. Food and exercise, for that matter,” she says. “According to me, home-made food keeps you healthier. Even your beauty stays intact if you ask my opinion. While eating foods with cholesterol, like fried or oily stuff, you should balance it out with exercise. That is my strategy. So, when I eat too much rice, I prefer to balance it out with exercise.”

2. Healthy Mantra

Das avoids foods that are too spicy or too sweet. She also emphasizes the importance of getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep a night. “I think we should avoid sugar,” she says. “Sleep well, eat healthy foods, drink a lot of water, avoid spicy and sugar. I think that’s how you get fit.”

3. Fitness Freak

Das calls herself a “fitness freak” who loves strength training and cardio. Research shows regular exercise is great for heart health, and mental health. "Exercise can improve mental health problems like depression and stress, which are common but often ignored contributors to cardiovascular problems," says cardiologist Dr. Aaron Baggish, a professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and founder of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

4. Personal Style

Das embraces her individual style and taste. “I just want to be different,” she says. “Be [it] makeup, hairstyle or even the dressing sense, I don’t like to copy anyone else. For the same, I keep changing my complete look every now and then. Wearing things in a certain way can be called a style in itself. If you have observed me, then you must have noticed that I keep trying unique things, so certainly that would be my style statement.”

5. Moisturizing Her Skin

Das is diligent about moisturizing her skin. “Moisturizer is a must,” she says. “I make sure to apply my moisturizer on a daily basis and without fail. Along with that, I use sunscreen too. Lastly, I always have 4-5 glasses of water minimum.”

Actress Parineeti Chopra loves to spend time by the water. She’s currently on vacation in Pulau and is making sure to get some photos for social media. Chopra posted a new photo on Instagram of herself taking a boat ride. She wore a black bikini, looking stunning. Chopra captioned the post, “Just give me a boat, a bikini and my dive computer …🪸⌚️ #Peace #ScubaDiving #Ambassadiver #WorldOceansDay #Sangalaki.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Parineeti Chopra 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. She’s Motivated

One of Chopra’s workout secrets? She actually wants to workout. She tells Times of India, "I am a 25-year-old and there is no reason for me to look fat. I want to look great. I am taking care of myself and I am losing even more weight because I want to look better." "But you don't have to do it alone. Talk to your doctor, family and friends for support. Ask yourself if now is a good time and if you're ready to make some necessary changes. Also, plan smart: Anticipate how you'll handle situations that challenge your resolve and the inevitable minor setbacks," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Scuba Dives

Chopra loves to go to the beach and spend time in the water. She is an avid scuba diver, and has posted several diving photos and videos on Instagram. She posted this video of herself diving in the Indian Ocean, surrounded by fish and rays. Chopra captioned the video, “My meditation.”

3. She Meditates

Chopra loves to practice meditation as a way to keep a healthy wellbeing and mental state. She posted this set of photos of herself meditating in Nepal. In them, she sat outside on a mountain. Chopra captioned the post, “Daily meditation is my secret.” You could try "Emotion-centered meditation. This kind of meditation has you focus on a specific emotion. For example, focusing on how to be kind to others or on what makes you happy in your life," says the Cleveland Clinic. Or: "Meditation with movement. This type of meditation can involve focusing on breathing, holding your breath or performing specific body movements. It can also involve walking while focusing on what you observe around you."

4. She Goes Hiking

One outdoor activity Chopra loves to do is go hiking. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself at the Everest Base Camp. She captioned the post, “Good morning, Mr. Everest. You taught me a lesson in humility today.”

5. She Strength Trains

INDIA-ENTERTAINMENT-BOLLYWOOD-NETFLIXSujit Jaiswal/Getty Images

Chopra loves to lift weights and do strength training workouts to stay in shape. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing dumbbell squats. She captioned the video, “Heavylifting for now. Cardio can weight.” "One sure way to break through a plateau is to change some or all of the variables in the workout program. These variables include: exercise selection, intensity, repetitions, sets, rest interval, tempo (speed of movement) and frequency (the number of exercise sessions in a specific period of time). To stimulate almost immediate changes in your body, increase the amount of weight (thereby increasing the intensity) you use in your workouts. If you find yourself not making any gains or simply want a different exercise program, here are six ways using heavy weights can help you make the changes you want to see in your body," says ACE Fitness.

Read on to see 5 ways Shalini Pandey 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. She Dances

Pandey starred in a film that required her to learn choreography. She tells Urban Asian that all this dancing helped her get in shape. “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film. Which required immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss. So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that’s a lot of cardio which helped me a lot.”

2. She’s Confident

Pandey says that she is confident in herself and with her body. “I have always been confident of my physique,” she told Urban Asian. “I never really paid attention to what people were saying about it. I loved whichever phase. I was in physically and never really put pressure on myself to be a certain body type.”

3. She Grew Up Athletic

Pandey tells Urban Asian that she grew up playing a lot of sports, which has helped her stay in shape now. “I was always into sports. I started swimming since the 5th standard. I was into a lot of sports actually like badminton and volleyball and others. I was quite an outdoor kind of a kid. So yes, I have been a fitness freak since ever.”

4. She Swims

Pandey loves to go swimming. And she always brings a buddy with her. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself and her dog in the pool together. Pandey captioned the reel, “That’s my girl.”

5. She Has A Dog

Pandey has an adorable golden retriever, who is featured on her Instagram. Having a dog has a lot of benefits. According to Harvard Health, “Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk. Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”

Mouni Roy has never been afraid of showing off her figure. She recently enjoyed time with her friend and fellow actress, Disha Patani.

1. She Goes With The Flow

In an interview with IDiva, Roy opened up about what she has learned from her career. She says that she has learned to roll with the punches when it comes to her career. “I guess we have all had our share of experiences that vary from one another. I would say it is very difficult to navigate this industry in terms of whether you and your work is being taken seriously. Difficult to get the right meetings, auditions and the next film. But I truly know we are all going through our own journeys and fair share of struggles. So, no complaints you know. I guess you have to have the passion for your craft and work as a newcomer everyday, learn and dance, and treat all your difficulties and failures as much with kindness and love.”

2. She Works Hard

Roy tells IDiva that she’s a hard worker, and that this is something she’s learned from working as an actress. “My biggest learnings while working in TV were discipline, commitment and conviction; of playing one single character with the same conviction and spontaneity for months and sometimes even years. There's no shortcut to hard work. Have respect for your own and everyone else’s time.”

3. She Doesn’t Let Criticism Get To Her

Entertainment India - April 2022Prodip Guha/Getty Images

Roy tells IDiva that she doesn’t let haters or any criticism get to her. “Many years back when I had joined social media platforms, I used to wonder how people can be so unkind and it used to bother me. Soon, I realised, they are phantom beings hiding behind their screens writing rubbish which actually says the kind of pitiful people they are. So there is nothing to feel bad there. You should say a prayer for them and let them be.”

4. She Loves Yoga

Roy is a fan of yoga and meditation. She talked about this in this Instagram post. “Can’t begin to explain how yoga and meditation has helped change my mindset and in turn has brought positive impact on my body,” she wrote in the caption. “It is so so imp to include yoga in daily life for a person's body, mind and soul. Start slow and steady, simple things, what your body can adapt quickly, slowly you ll see your body and mind asking for more. Replace the craving for bad with the good. Slow & steady. One tiny change at a time. And tog it ll bring the physical and mental discipline which ll have a positive impact on your entire day, helps me be way less vague & anxious than I used to be before. I hope for all of us to continue and let go of all the garbage that we don’t need in our minds and lives and bring positive changes lil by lil err’yday.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Roy spends a lot of time outside. In particular, she loves to go to the beach. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself by the water.

1. She Wears Comfortable Clothes

When it comes to her style, Apte’s main goal is comfort. She tells Indian Express, “I prefer comfort over fashion. When I select an outfit, I make sure it’s not heavy. It should fit me well. Even if it is loose, the fit should be good. The fabric is very important. It should feel good against my skin and shouldn’t irritate it.”

2. She Doesn’t Read Comments

Apte has no time for the haters. She tells Indian Express that she makes sure to avoid comments on social media. “I don’t read the comments very much. So, I don’t know if I am criticized or not, really.”

While Apte doesn’t read the comments, if she did, she wouldn’t take them personally. She tells Indian Express that she welcomes criticism. “To be honest, criticism is not bad. You can read it and see whether it makes sense to you. If there’s something that’s not good about an outfit, you can make it better the next time.”

4. She Believes In Moderation

When it comes to her diet, Apte believes in moderation. She tells Indian Express, “I eat absolutely everything. I try to eat in moderation on most days. When I am on holiday, I indulge a lot and after that, for a month I try to eat healthy so that I lose the weight and go back to my average weight and then eat again. I just indulge once or twice a week in my normal routine.”

5. She Gardens

Apte loves to spend time outside. One thing she likes to do is garden. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself on her lawn. She captioned the post, “Happy days.” “There are physical benefits from doing the manual labor of gardening,” says UNC Health internal medicine physician Robert Hutchins, MD, MPH. “It’s hard work to garden, and it provides some cardiovascular benefit.” “Gardening gives you a chance to focus on something and put your mind to work with a goal and a task in mind,” Dr. Hutchins says, “which is helpful especially now with so much illness and death and talk of death, just to see things growing and things thriving.”

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

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

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.
