Sharma is an avid dancer, and loves to bust a move as a way to stay active. She has posted several videos on Instagram of herself dancing. Dancing is a great way to stay active and develop muscles in your body. NYU dance physical therapist, Emily Sandow, tells CNN, “Although it looks like a highly specialized form, we still work on the fundamental principles of movement that every individual need to acquire to be able to go from a baby crawling on the floor to kneeling, walking, running, jumping, kicking.”

4. She Does Lateral Pull-Downs

Sharma posted this reel on Instagram of herself doing lateral pulldowns in the gym. She captioned the reel, “Wasn’t the one to ever enter a gym but once you do, it kind of sucks you in.” Lateral exercises are extremely beneficial for your body. Personal trainer, Francine Delgado-Lugo, tells SELF, “Lateral movement can help support balance and rotation as well as help you resist impact forces.” These exercises can help prevent injuries.

While Sharma might not be a professional basketball player, she is a fan of heading out to the court to shoot some hoops. Sharma posted this reel on Instagram of herself playing basketball. In it, she attempts to make some baskets and dribbles the ball. Sharma captioned the reel, “#swishswish.” "Basketball-specific movements cause resting heart rates to rise to levels needed to improve cardiorespiratory fitness; higher values are strongly associated with reduced risk of mortality from cardiometabolic diseases," says a letter in the Mayo Clinic. "Also, repeated jumps during basketball appear to increase bone mineral density, perhaps advancing recreational basketball as a preferable exercise intervention for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis."
