1. She Exercises
Hina exercises a lot. “In just a matter of a couple of years, I have become what you may say a fitness freak,” she told SpotboyE. “When I have a lighter week workwise, I usually go to the gym every day and when I am shooting back-to-back or traveling, I at least try to reach the door of the gym 3-4 times a week.”
2. She Maintains a Protein-Based Diet

Hina maintains a healthy diet. “Of course, diet is a major part of the way you wanna work your body and reach a certain goal. I mainly rely on protein-based diet and anyway I don’t eat a lot, so it helps my already fast metabolism,” she said. After working out she eats a “wholesome breakfast” consisting of a glass of fresh fruit or vegetable juice, 2 bananas, corn flakes and alternately a cheese omelette. “My diet mainly consists of low carbs and high proteins, which I strictly follow! And only Sunday lunch is a cheat meal for me where I eat anything and everything I like, depending on my mood and craving,” she said. “I eat both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, but I don’t overeat.”
3. She Cheats

Hina does a lot of different workouts. “My main workout regime includes a mix of weight training, functional training, kickboxing as well as TRX exercises, for the upper body which targets the back, abs, shoulders, and biceps. I am mainly into hardcore weight training, functional fitness, core strengthening, kickboxing which is a great form of keeping fit according to me, as well as increasing your energy levels, and calisthenics as well which is a type of body weight training,” she said. “I love outdoor exercising too, and I indulge in some swimming, running or jogging and yoga as well, as and when I want a break from the regular exercise routine I follow.”

She also drinks a whopping 12 glasses of water a day. "I feel that whatever we eat shows on our face. Our face is the mirror of our internal system. I drink lots of water, at least 12 glasses a day. It helps me clear my system which reflects on my skin. I also drink coconut water twice a day. A bowl of curd is also a must. I also have one amla a day to detoxify my system and retain the glow on my face,” she said.
