1. Big Foodie
Penty refuses to diet, instead focusing on a balanced diet with occasional indulgences. “I'm a big foodie and I just cannot diet!” she says. “Breakfast is usually a platter of fruit along with a cup of tea followed by eggs,” she says. “Lunch is never complete without rice, dal, chicken curry and veggies. I usually keep my dinner light—roast chicken with a salad or boiled vegetables. My one guilty indulgence is chocolate. Promise me a Dutch truffle cake, and I will move mountains!”
2. No Cardio
Penty prefers strength training to cardio. “My fitness regime at the moment is pretty simple,” she says. “I was doing Pilates a couple of months ago. Now I’ve switched it to light weight training and strength regime intentionally. I don’t do too much cardio, because I lose weight very quickly. So it’s just weight and strength training.”
3. Skincare and Haircare
Penty never goes to bed without removing her makeup. “No matter how exhausted I am, I never skip my nighttime routine,” she says. “I usually use mild make-up removal wipes followed by a gentle face wash. My skin tends to get dry sometimes, so I need a moisturizing night cream. For my hair, I have realized the importance of conditioning only in the last few years, so I make sure I condition my hair at least twice or thrice a week.”
4. Healthy Lifestyle
While Penty has never struggled with weight gain, she knows health is about much more than the numbers on a scale. “I’ve always tried very hard to gain weight since I was very young,” she says. “But either way, it’s important to work out regularly, eat healthy. Be conscious of your diet to whatever extent possible. It’s about maintaining balance. Keep hydrated all the time and just live a healthier lifestyle.
5. Walking Everywhere
Penty loves walking as much as she possibly can, especially when she’s traveling. “Physical activity doesn't need to be complicated,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Something as simple as a daily brisk walk can help you live a healthier life. You can also alternate periods of brisk walking with leisurely walking. This type of interval training has many benefits, such as improving cardiovascular fitness and burning more calories than regular walking. And interval training can be done in less time than regular walking.”
