1. Balanced Diet, Not Restriction

Qureshi doesn’t believe in restrictive, difficult diets. “If you are on a diet, you don’t have to eat just a cucumber,” she says. “Healthy food can be a perfectly balanced meal and that won’t take your eyes off your goal. As human beings, we thrive on going out and eating at restaurants. You don’t want to miss out on that sense of community feel because you are watching your diet. People have this idea that you have to punish yourself and your body in order to look a certain way.”

2. She Loves Food

Qureshi is a foodie who believes in making every meal both nutritious and delicious. “I don’t believe in starving,” she says. “It has to be like the right nutrients, cooked well, and the taste should also be good.”

3. CrossFit and Trampoline

Qureshi embraces workouts which are challenging for her, sharing footage on her show Fit Fab Feast With Huma Qureshi. “Right from Pilates to CrossFit to working out at home with big water bottles can be difficult,” she says. “Even going to a place where you can bounce and jump on a trampoline can be difficult … There are 10 episodes and you will see me do a different workout in every episode. There’s an episode documenting my interactions with a female stunt-person too … Good reality shows are usually the ones in which people reveal a part of their personality which you would normally not see.”

4. Pilates Sessions

Qureshi loves doing Pilates sessions with a personal trainer. “I don’t practice Pilates to look good, I do it to feel good," she says. "I want to lose weight well, by building strength and muscle. I discovered muscles I didn’t know I had… When I started working out, my core felt strong, and my level of concentration increased. I’ve learned to listen to my body. I’m more aware of my posture – I don’t slouch when I sit and maintain posture when I walk or run.”

5. Exercise As Self-Love

Qureshi works out because she loves her body and wants to support her health. “We need to learn how to love ourselves and erase this notion that working out means torturing ourselves or punishing ourselves after our favorite meal,” she says. “Why don’t you tell yourself that I am going to run today because the air is beautiful or that I am hitting the treadmill to listen to my favorite podcast … Listen to your own body and then you don’t need a trainer, a fancy gym membership or fancier gym gear.”

Kate Sharma, the actress, model and influencer, loves to share her everyday life with her fans, including her many outfit changes. Sharma posted a reel of herself walking and posing in a black bathing suit and see-through skirt, with the hashtag “reel it, feel it.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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 Loves To Take Baths

Sharma loves the physical and mental benefits of taking regular baths. “Baths help many people sleep well,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “They also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors.”

Baths have been a popular way to relax and unwind for centuries, and there are a number of potential health benefits associated with taking a soak in the tub. Here are a few examples:

1. Stress relief: The warm water and the act of soaking in a bath can help to relax the muscles and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that taking a warm bath can lower blood pressure and heart rate, both of which can be indicators of stress.
2. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of a bath can also help to improve sleep quality. A warm bath before bedtime can help you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed.
3. Pain relief: Soaking in warm water can help to reduce muscle pain and soreness, particularly after exercise. The buoyancy of the water can also help to take the weight off of sore joints, making it easier to move around.

2. She Swims

Sharma enjoys swimming as part of her fitness regimen. "Because the activity is less weight-bearing, certain groups of people can take advantage of it if they want to be active,” says Brian Wright, associate professor of kinesiology at DePauw University. “One can also continue to do it late into one's age, as opposed to weight-bearing activities like running.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Like most Bollywood stars, Sharma is an accomplished dance performer. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD.

4. She Enjoys Indian Snacks

Sharma is a big fan of pani puri, an Indian street snack consisting of fried dough balls filled with vegetables. "The water used in pani puri are flavors of cumin, mint and tamarind,” says Senior Clinical Dietician Neha Bhatia. “Mint water and cumin are good for weight loss. Not just for weight loss, mint water is good for health as well. It can help in curing irritable bowel syndrome, provide relief to indigestion and improve immunity. Mint also has fiber, vitamin A, iron, manganese and folate."

5. She Loves the Beach

Sharma loves spending time at the beach. “The physical sensation of putting your feet in warm sand causes people to relax,” says Richard Shuster, PsyD. “We’ve been conditioned to think of the beach as peaceful and relaxing. We expect when we go to the beach that we are going to relax.”

Spending time at the beach can have a number of health benefits. Here are a few examples:

1. Improved mental health: The sound of the waves and the smell of the saltwater can help to relax the mind and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that spending time in natural environments can help to improve mental health and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety.
2. Increased vitamin D: Sun exposure is an important source of vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. Spending time at the beach can help you get more vitamin D, which can be difficult to get from food alone.
3. Increased physical activity: The beach is a great place for physical activity, such as swimming, surfing, or playing beach sports. Exercise is important for overall health, as it can help to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones and muscles, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
4. Improved skin health: The sun's UV rays can have a drying effect on the skin, but the saltwater and sand at the beach can help to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. The ocean's minerals can also help to improve skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
5. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of spending time at the beach can also help to improve sleep quality. Getting enough restful sleep is important for overall health, as it helps to repair the body and support immune function.

She wrote in the caption, “I have gained a bit of weight but let me tell you something , earlier I used to starve myself. I only eat one sandwich a day and nothing else. I was slim, very slim but gosh I was so weak and always in a cranky mood. I was following a no sugar, no carbs, no gluten diet.” However, Javed writes that she is embracing her body and is proud of herself. “I’m fitter, I feel better so I don’t care if people comment about my stomach or my weight.”

1. She Does Yoga Daily

Ritabhari starts her every day Monday through Friday with yoga, she told Hindustan Times. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

2. She Also Does Kickboxing, Krav Maga, Dance, and Pilates

After yoga, Ritabhari will do a kickboxing workout or Israeli self-defence called Krav Maga. On the weekends, she prefers to dance it out with kathak or goes for Pilates, she told Hindustan Times.

3. She Is a Vegetarian

Ritabhari eats healthy, cooking most of her food herself. “The best is to avoid oils from outside. I have recently turned vegetarian as I believe it is a step towards a healthier lifestyle and helps curb cruelty against animals. Honestly, I’m enjoying it,” she told Hindustan Times.

4. She Rides Bikes

Ritabhari also loves riding bikes. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

5. She Fought Back Against Body Shamers

After undergoing surgery, Ritabhari gained a lot of weight and was attacked by online trolls. This inspired her to make a move about a plus sized model and even gained over 55 pounds for the role. “It took me four months to gain 25 kgs and six months to lose. So, the four months of gaining and one and a half months of shooting the film affected me. My breathing got affected. I got stretch marks,” she told Cineblitz. “But I just hope that it is going to be worth it. If this film actually resonates with women who constantly feel bad about themselves because of the way the world treats them, I just hope that this film makes them feel good. Nobody can be confident when everyone is telling you that your shape is not right. So, we have shown my character’s journey from where she was to where she reached when she accepts herself.”

1. She Belly Dances

Kapoor belly dances with her instructor Sanjana Muthreja. “Belly dancing is really a full body workout,” the teacher told Vogue India. “It involves a lot of core work and engages your hips. It not only helps as a cardiovascular workout (you can lose up to a 1000 calories in one Tahitian class due to the constant explosive movements), but it also strengthens the core muscles, which helps to stabilize the spine.”

2. She Hits the Gym

“Weights before dates😈😏💪🏽😜😉,” Shanaya captioned an Instagram photo, of her at the gym. (“Make yourself proud,” read a motto painted above her. “Weight training keeps your muscles strong and allows for good joint stability. Performing weight training with proper form is critical, as is starting with low loads and higher repetitions for joint safety. Before starting a weight training program, you should seek the advice of a trained professional such as a physical therapist or exercise physiologist to develop the optimal program,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

3. She Focuses on the Positives

As the child of famous people, "Judgements are an inevitable part of the work I am pursuing, but I stay positive and focus on the people who are always cheering me on, whether it be followers on Instagram or the press/media, I focus on their love and support, then the rest just fades out for me! Focusing on the positives is the way to be," she has said.

4. She Does Yoga and Pilates

Yoga and Pilates are essential toward working your core and relaxing your mind. “There’s a therapeutic, preventative benefit to Pilates,” lead yoga therapist Judi Bar tells the Cleveland Clinic, “because as it’s isolating and relaxing muscle groups, it strengthens them with control and breath.” “It can also, she says, give you more resilience and helps with your alignment in a way that also improves your posture, leading you to walk straighter and sturdier," adds the Clinic.

5. She Hydrates

“For most people, water is the best thing to drink to stay hydrated. Sources of water also include foods, such fruits and vegetables which contain a high percentage of water. Sports drinks with electrolytes, may be useful for people doing high intensity, vigorous exercise in very hot weather, though they tend to be high in added sugars and calories,” says the American Heart Association. “It’s healthier to drink water while you’re exercising, and then when you’re done, eat a healthy snack like orange slices, bananas or a small handful of unsalted nuts,” says John Batson, M.D, a sports medicine physician with Lowcountry Spine & Sport in Hilton Head Island, S.C., and an American Heart Association volunteer.
