Khan works with personal trainer Namara Purohit to keep herself in shape. Purohit says that Khan loves their sessions together, and always has a ton of interest in working out. “She walks into sessions all pumped up,” Purohit said to Vogue. “The best thing about working out with her is that she gives it her all. Sometimes, I catch her looking at me with a ‘Why are you doing this to me' face, but I know, and she knows, that she loves doing this. She is always game for trying new things and has the most fun with new exercises.”
2. She Lets Her Outfits Motivate Her

Motivation is a big part of working out, and motivation can come from anywhere. For Khan, it comes from her workout clothing. “I think that the perfect wardrobe has to include things that you’re comfortable in,” she says to Vogue. “Workout gear is not just about the fact that you’re working out. Most people don’t want it restricted to the gym, you can go out for lunch also in your workout gear.”
3. She Loves Yoga

Khan is a big fan of practicing yoga as a way to stay in shape. She also posts several photos on Instagram of herself doing yoga. She tells Vogue, “My yoga time is my me time... and of course, consistency is key... so, keep at it people.” “It’s the American way — better, harder, faster competition and that’s totally the opposite of what yoga is. Yoga is about being in the moment. Not competing, not judging but listening to our body. It’s about developing the practice of doing the best you can each day without hurting yourself. Some days are balanced. Some days, we’re not as flexible. And with that overriding acceptance, we learn from ourselves," yoga therapist and yoga program manager, Judi Bar, tells the Cleveland Clinic.
4. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Khan says to Idiva that she is extremely comfortable with herself and with her body, no matter where she is in life. She says that she is always looking forward to the future that awaits her. “I’m the kind of person who looks back but moves ahead. I am not going to look back and think that’s the way I want to be. It was in the past when size zero became such a huge phenomenon. I did it when I had to play a role. I was only a 26-year-old so it was great for the time. For now, I feel fit and amazing. I am 41 today and I feel good about myself.”
5. She Doesn’t Listen To Others

Khan tells Idiva that she doesn’t pay attention to what people think about her and her life. She says that she just focuses on herself, and that she doesn’t listen to trolls and haters. “You have to be confident and happy. Nobody else in the world should matter. Whether trolls are trolling or people are commenting...these things aren’t important. What’s important is the way you look at yourself.”
