1. She Dances

Niharica has one go-to workout. “I swear by dance. It is extremely cardio excessive and gives you a lean body. In the mornings, I do Kathak for around 1 to 1 ½ hours. But there are times when I get carried away and go on for 3 hours! That is only because of extreme passion, it is not required! We start off at a slow pace with extremely slow footwork and end the class with very fast footwork,” she told Big Basket.

2. She Does Functional Training

“I don’t have to go to the gym but I am doing a film right now and am training as per the body type required. Gyming can help you gain muscle weight in a way that it makes you look a little bulkier,” Niharica told Big Basket. “I do functional training for an hour. For those who aren’t aware, functional training is not necessarily weight training and equipment utilisation, it’s more of ropework and sled pushes. You use your own body weight most of the time, which is something I prefer. For instance, I am around 50 to 53 kilos, so that is the maximum that I push around. I prefer just working off my own body weight because that gives me the proportionate amount of muscle that I would require and which would look good on my body. According to me, whatever your weight is on a basic level (unless you are obese) is the amount you should push around.”

3. Her Diet Is Healthy

Niharica eats a healthy diet consisting of lean protein and produce. “I try to eat raw pepper and fruits such as apples and papayas in the mornings and I eat two to three eggs every day. Chicken is my favourite meal, and lately, I have been making various soups—Broccoli, Potato and Onions. I sometimes also have lentil soup,” she dished to Opening Doorz.

Niharica focuses on staying hydrated. “I drink two glasses of fresh coconut water and try to drink up to two litres of fluids in the day. My constant go-to fluid intake is peppermint tea,” she revealed to Opening Doors.

5. She Swims

Niharica is also a big swimmer. “The last thing I do is swimming as I find that it is working out without feeling that you are. I love swimming because it is relaxing and the water offers a therapeutic effect. You can take your own time and do your crawls. While doing the backstroke I literally feel that I am floating!” she told Big Basket.
