Indian actress Kavita Kaushik is celebrating Halloween a little early, judging by her recent social media posts. Kaushik, 42, shared a picture of herself wearing a black one-piece swimsuit, with a black cover up, against a background of green plants. “Jungle girl in the day hunting for roots, barks n Sanjivini, Witch at night making potions with the herbs collected😇🧙🏼,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kaushik 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. Balanced Lifestyle

Kaushik lives a healthy lifestyle with no restrictions, just sensible choices. “I eat very healthy food. Sometimes I do eat unhealthy, but later I balance it out,” she says. “I don’t smoke or booze. I go to the spa and travel whenever I get time. I see to it I don’t eat after 7pm in the evening unless it’s very important.”

2. Eggs and Milk For Breakfast

Kaushik enjoys juice, eggs, and milk for breakfast. Grass-fed cows have been shown to make healthier milk. “A recent national study found that cows fed a diet of totally organic grass and legumes produced milk with elevated levels of omega-3 and CLA, which provides a markedly healthier balance of fatty acids,” says the University of Minnesota.

3. Not a Gym Fan

Kaushik prefers at-home workouts. “I am not a gym person and it becomes very difficult to hit the gym everyday when you are busy shooting,” she says. “In my daily routine, I practice yoga. If I don’t fit into my bikini, I come to know that I have bloated and start working out vigorously on my body.”

4. Salad and Vegetables

Kaushik likes to keep her dinner light, opting for salads and grilled vegetables. "Fruits and vegetables are major sources of several nutrients that are strongly linked to good health, particularly the health of the heart and blood vessels: potassium, magnesium, fiber, and polyphenols [antioxidant plant compounds]," says Dr. Daniel Wang, a member of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

5. She’s a Foodie

Kaushik is passionate about food and cooking. “I love to cook and eat,” she says. “There is a very wrong assumption that food makes you fat, no it's the intake of wrong food that makes you fat. So always follow a proper diet plan.”

1. She Transformed For A Role

When Chandna signed on to appear in Naagin 5, she had to get in shape. She shared her process to Times Of India. "I had to say bye-bye to all the happy weight and bring a transformation because my character needed that,” she explained. “If you are playing a naagin you need to look sexy, fit and someone who can easily do the stunts. The previous seasons' actresses, who played naagins, had already set a bar so high, that it was important to look different and set a new trend."

2. She Did Her Own Stunts

In Naagin 5, Chandna did a lot of her own stunts. "When I signed up for the show, I did not have time to go to the gym, because we were shooting for 12-13 hours,” she tells Times Of India. “Naagin is not a show that requires you to be at one place throughout the day. The show had a fast pace, we had to run around a lot because of outdoor scenes and do a lot of stunts and action scenes. This helped me burn my calories, so I was burning good calories on the sets, shooting for 12-13 hours."

3. She Believes In Balance

Chandna opened up about her diet to Times Of India. She says that she believes in eating a balanced diet. "I used to eat bhakhri, rice, veggies, chicken and fish. I also consumed jowar bhakhris. I kept away from junk food but I had my 'cheat' days when I used to go out and eat pav bhaji and pizza. The idea was to be physically active and run around a lot, eat in small proportions than totally deprive yourself."

4. She Stays Consistent

When Chandna isn’t on set doing stunts, she still makes time to workout. She shared some of her favorite exercises to Times Of India. "I am thankful that I achieved my fitness goals playing a Naagin,” she says. “I have time on hand. I will again go back to doing my zumba and pilates to maintain my fitness levels."

5. She Swims

Chandna spends a lot of time in the water. She likes to swim to keep herself in shape, and shares a lot of photos of herself doing this on Instagram.

Day 1 in Koh Samui.” She also shared this set of pool photos, captioning them, “The ultimate water baby.”

Kavita Kaushik, most famously known as Chandramukhi Chautala from F.I.R., and from Bigg Boss 14, has the right attitude toward life. As a certified yoga instructor, she not only has a Zen perspective but looks great in a swimsuit by the pool. “Be done with what u don't like, not jealous or angry! Just done🙂” she wrote on a video of just that. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kavita Kaushik 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 is a Licensed Yoga Instructor

Kavita is a Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher and Owner of Aparna Aunty's Ayurvedic homemade beauty secrets. “The fountain of youth, wellness and overall health is yoga and if you are lucky yoga will change your life by changing YOU . Look forward to change as that’s the only permanent truth,” she has said. In one study, Kundalini Yoga "practice had an immediate effect on salivary cortisol….a significant decrease of perceived stress in the study group was found.” Another study showed Kundalini Yoga "resulted in lower levels of anxiety relative to the treatment-as-usual condition.”

2. She Believes in Ayurvedic Herbs

“You are real, you are raw and unique, you are beautiful, yes you have some damaged parts but only you are going to heal yourself,” she has said, regarding her Aparna Aunty's Ayurvedic secrets. The Ayurvedic herbs have healing properties, she says. Ayurvedic herbs can heal; ashwagandha, for example, can calm you. “The serum cortisol levels were substantially reduced in the Ashwagandha group, relative to the placebo group. The adverse effects were mild in nature and were comparable in both the groups. No serious adverse events were reported,” says one study.

3. She Shows Off Her Hard Work

Kaushik showed off one post-workout photo. “So ! It took just a bit of discipline and sweat and help from a dear friend who taught me few different asanas to get rid of the flaws here n there BUT mainly because I think happy and feel happy ! Now, those who write crap in comments pehle kutch aisa kar ke dikhaao jissey you feel proud of urself n then spread your negative energy or don’t na , it takes lesser to be a positive n lovable person ! AND !!! I’m not done , this body is not even half way of what I’m aiming to achieve!!! So! Watch this space for more fun and motivation maybe 😬🧘‍♀️🐒 #yogasehoga #yogi #love #sweat #milestogo #nofoodisworththis

4. She Thinks We’re Defined by Milestones

“What makes each of us unique, different from each other? Isn't it the milestones in life that we step into? Each milestone, where we are at a crossroads and we have to take strong decisions—it brings about a change in our life. And our actions then define the course of our life, our destiny, they shape us into who we are and who we can become. And I think it is those milestones where there's a voice that we hear, a voice that echoes from within us that sometimes screams, sometimes pleads, asks us, asks the universe: What now?” she asked in her inspiring TED Talk.

5. She Will Keep Getting Up

“I stand here today, far from perfect, in fact, heavily flawed, stumbling, falling each day, but getting up with immense gratitude for this life full of ups and downs, failures and success, victories and defeats, fame and embarrassment, peace and unrest, everything,” she said in her TED Talk. “Every mistake that teaches me till today to work on them and become better than what I was yesterday. I have gratitude in realizing that everything that happened in my life—my school, my college, every little thing—has given me a chance to carve myself (I'm not saying I'm very well carved) but I'm just saying that I make a promise to myself that I'll never drop the chisel down till I breathe my last. I'll keep carving on myself. I'll keep reinventing. I'll keep falling. I'll keep getting up. I promise never to hold anybody else responsible for my bad and take the responsibility of all the wrong with the right in my life. And most importantly, I promise to not be fearful of that voice that echoes periodically, but embrace it each time it echoes from within me saying, ‘What now?’”

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

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?
