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?’”

Actress Sonakshi Sinha, star of the Dabangg franchise, is enjoying time in the gorgeous Maldives. Naturally, she made sure to hit the beach and spend time in the water. Sinha posted a series of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. She wore a white bathing suit and a sheer cover-up. Sinha captioned the photo, “Mermaid spotting. My love affair with the Maldives just getting stronger.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sonakshi Sinha 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 Got A Wakeup Call

Sinha opens up about her health and wellness secrets in an interview with Times of India. She says that she was inspired to lose weight when she first went to the gym at 18. “When I got on the treadmill, I couldn’t run for more than 30 seconds! I was huffing and puffing! That’s when I decided to lose weight. Not because I wanted to be an actor, but because I knew it was needed.”

2. She Doesn’t Stress About Food

Entertainment India NovemberProdip Guha/Getty Images

When it comes to her diet, Sinha tells the Times of India that she doesn’t like to stress over it. She says that she eats what she wants to eat. “Like, if you want to make an omelette, make an omelette, but don’t be like, ‘Oh God, the egg has to be the perfect shape and this specific colour! Don’t obsess over these things! If you want to make an omelette, just go make it!”

3. She Doesn’t Let Trolls Get To Her

Entertainment India NovemberProdip Guha/Getty images

Sinha unfortunately has been subjected to harsh trolling throughout her career. Most of the comments were about her weight and body. Sinha says to the Times of India that she is learning to ignore those comments. “Eventually, I told myself that I wouldn’t let them bring me down because they had no idea what I had been through, how hard I had worked to get here. And, in the end, it really didn’t matter what they thought. They were not the ones in a big-ticket Bollywood film, I was.”

4. She Spends Time Outside

Sinha is a big fan of spending time outside. She posts several videos and photos on Instagram of herself enjoying the great outdoors. Sinha posted this video of herself spending time on the farm, where she is petting horses. She captioned the post, “If this isn’t a happy place, I don’t know what is. Spent my day off really well!”

5. She Swims

1. She Speaks Out

INDIA-ENTERTAINMENT-CINEMA-BOLLYWOODSUJIT JAISWAL/AFP via Getty Images

In an ETimes interview, Gupta spoke out against racism and white supremacy. "Some Indians have the mindset where we think like white supremacy. Americans are fighting it. White supremacy means people who have dark colour or dark skin, are meant to be slaves because those who are fair think God made them as the ones who are supposed to rule."

2. She Loves Yoga

Gupta revealed some of her wellness secrets to Gulf News. She says that she loves yoga. “It has helped me stay active, focused and determined,” she says. “Yoga is not just for my body, but for my soul.”

3. She Doesn’t Look Cute For The Gym

When Gupta goes to the gym, she isn’t trying to look stylish. “I don’t understand Instagram influencers who put on make-up and head to the gym,” she tells Gulf News. “In my opinion, you need to dress up for yourself — whether you are walking on the runway or going out to work. When I work out, you might often see me without shoes unless I am doing cardio exercises.”

4. She Cuts Out Certain Things

Entertainment India - August 2022Prodip Guha/Getty Images

Gupta revealed that she has cut out things in her diet to Gulf News. "I am gluten and dairy-intolerant, so I avoid it completely. When I eat gluten, my stomach hurts and I get acidic. Plus, I don’t believe in having milk products because I don’t think our body needs it. I also have carbs until 6pm. For dinner, I just have dal [lentils] or soups.”

5. She’s Vegetarian

Gupta tells Gulf News that she adopts a vegetarian diet. “I come from a family of vegetarians. We are vegetarians not for religious purposes though. Although I am a Punjabi, I have lots of vegetables with collagen in them.”

2. She Swims

3. She Runs

Kaur loves running as a form of cardio. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself running on the treadmill. She captioned the reel, “I’m working on a new me.” Before getting one, "Is the machine loud? Do you like how it looks? Does it offer a smooth ride? Is it easy to operate? Remember, this product will be around for a long, healthy time, so determine what you want and need from it before you even begin shopping to prevent a regretful purchase," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Rides Bikes

Kaur loves to spend time outside. One thing she likes to do is go bike riding. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself riding her personalized bike on the boardwalk by the water in the Maldives. She captioned the post, “Beach bum.” "Wear a helmet to protect your head; don't use clips to keep your feet on the pedals, which can make injuries worse if you fall; don't ride alone; stick to bike paths instead of riding in the street; stay hydrated before, during, and after your ride; and use sunscreen and sunglasses," says Harvard Health.

5. She’s Consistent

Kaur revealed some of her wellness secrets in this video from her YouTube channel. In it, she talked about her approach to exercise. She says that for her, exercise is about quality over quantity. “I make sure that I do little, but I remain consistent.”

1. She Once Wanted to Change Who She Was

INDIA-ENTERTAINMENT-CINEMA-BOLLYWOODSUJIT JAISWAL/AFP via Getty Images

When she was younger, “I just wanted to change who I was. I wanted to be somebody else. I just didn't like who I was. I just decided that, you know, why do I have this hair? Or why do I have this, these lips? So why do I have this body? Why can't I just look like everyone else? And just be a part? And I didn't want to stand out. I wanted to fit in.” One worry? “I used to never put on the light in my bathroom. My bathroom would be dark because I didn't wanna look at my skin,” she told Pinkvilla.

2. Be Humble and Turn Vulnerability Into a Strength

Entertainment India - March 2022Getty Images

Gupta eventually found strength in her feelings. “If you lose touch of humility in your life, everything can go south,” she told Pinkvilla. On the other hand, “Sometimes when you think that your vulnerability is a weakness, it's actually your strength.”

3. She Played Tennis

“I was playing professional tennis. Of course it would play on my mind. Am I doing the right thing for my skin? Will I start looking a certain way? Uh, and at the same time, will I just become so muscular or just become so sort of heavy that, you know, I don't have any femininity left in my body. All of those thoughts came to my mind, but I never wanted to give up my sport because of it,” she told Pinkvilla. She finally gave it up to look after her mental health.

4. She Trusts Her Gut

“In my head, being authentic and being yourself is the most powerful thing a person can do. It is also very liberating. But at the same time, when you’re sitting in a room full of people sometimes, they might not appreciate that, might take it for granted or they might look at you and not take you seriously, and think you are a frivolous person or judge you. Yes, people can judge you for the emotions you have. I am a very emotional person myself. I’ve spent my whole life taking decisions based on my gut and my emotions,” she said, according to HealthShots.

5. She Promotes Self-Love

“Self-love is something that happens when you’re not looking. It’s not one of those things that you decide, ‘Okay, I am going to love myself today’, and it will happen tomorrow. It’s a way of life, it’s a course correction where you say to yourself, ‘Each time I lose track of why I love myself, I have to remind myself,'” she told HealthShots.

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is "More Motivated Than Ever"

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
