Gulati opened up about her wellness routine to Women Fitness. She says that she doesn’t deprive herself when it comes to food. “I do not follow any strict diets, but I do try to eat clean at times. And oh, I’m all about cheat meals! Chaat is my favourite! Fries, fried momos, burgers & pizzas. If I had the chance, I’d eat all of this everyday of the week!”

2. She Works Out Regularly

Gulati makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She tells Women Fitness, “I work out 5 times a week. I really don’t have a choice but to work out regularly since I eat almost everything under the sun, even though I’m vegetarian. My favorite target areas are my shoulders and glutes.”

3. She Prioritizes Health

One of Gulati’s secrets to staying healthy is making wellness a priority. She tells Women Fitness, “It is supremely important that we take care of our bodies. This is what 2020 has taught me and it’s all that we have, nothing else really matters. Being active & focusing on our physical and mental fitness are the things that can really help us in the long run!”

4. She Does Leg Exercises

Gulati makes sure to workout her lower body. One exercise she likes to do are donkey kicks. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them while her cat walked near her. She captioned the video, “Working on my meowscles.” Donkey kicks, also known as glute bridges, are a type of exercise that targets the muscles in your buttocks, specifically the gluteus maximus. To do a donkey kick, start by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips off the ground and squeeze your glutes as you extend one leg straight out behind you. Lower your hips back down and repeat with the other leg. Donkey kicks can be done with or without weights, and can be incorporated into a variety of workouts to strengthen and tone your glutes.

5. She Does Pilates

Gulati likes to do pilates to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using a reformer. In it, Gulati is seen doing hamstring bridges, squat lunges, and leg extensions. She captioned the video, “Leg day.” "Without question, squats are the gold standard when it comes to lower-body exercises—and for good reason. The triple flexion and extension at the hips, knees and ankles promotes mobility, while building strength throughout the legs," says ACE Fitness.

Indian actress Parul Gulati is having a magical vacation in the beautiful Maldives. Gulati, 28, shared a reel of herself running across pristine golden sand, wearing a turquoise bathing suit with her hair loose. “Chasing a rainbow 🌈,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gulati 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 Diet, No Restrictions

Gulati doesn’t believe in restricting her food, but makes an effort to balance it out with smart choices. “I do not follow any strict diets, but I do try to eat clean at times,” she says. “And oh, I’m all about cheat meals! Chaat [Indian savory snacks] is my favorite! Fries, fried momos, burgers and pizzas. If I had the chance, I’d eat all of this everyday of the week!”

2. Regular Workouts

Gulati works out several times a week to help balance her diet and be fit. “I work out 5 times a week,” she says. “I really don’t have a choice but to work out regularly since I eat almost everything under the sun, even though I’m vegetarian. My favorite target areas are my shoulders and glutes.”

3. She Loves Coffee

Gulati is a self-confessed coffee lover. “For the average, healthy person, the AHA recommends limiting caffeine consumption to 400 mg or less daily – to stay within that range, that’s about four 8-ounce cups of coffee,” says Joseph A. Hill, MD, PhD. “Enjoying coffee in moderation is safe for most people who follow a heart-healthy lifestyle, and might, in fact, be a health-promoting strategy, both socially and physically.”

4. Staying Active

Gulati stays active not just to burn calories, but to support overall health and vitality. “It is supremely important that we take care of our bodies,” she says. “It’s all that we have, nothing else really matters. Being active and focusing on our physical and mental fitness are the things that can really help us in the long run!”

5. She’s an Entrepreneur

Not only is Gulati a successful actress, she also has her own line of hair extensions. “I always loved hair extensions and did realize it is extremely hard to find good hair extensions that are affordable,” she says. “Nobody was doing anything for hair thinning at that point, I saw a gap in the market and took advantage of the same and started an E-Commerce business.”

Palak Tiwari, the actress and Shweta Tiwari's daughter, posted a new set of them this week. In them, Tiwari posed in her yard. She wore a purple swimsuit, a purple and white patterned pair of pants, and a sunhat. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Palak Tiwari 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 Swims

Tiwari loves to swim to stay in shape. While she enjoyed time at a hotel, she made sure to spend time in the pool. She posted a bunch of photos of herself swimming on Instagram. Tiwari posted these highlights from her vacation, where she is seen in the pool in the first three slides. She captioned the post, “Weekend dump. Had the best time at @stregismumbai with lotssss of food and lotssss of rest.” She also shared these pool photos from the trip.

2. She Dances

Tiwari likes to dance. She shared this Instagram collaboration with her mother Shweta. In it, the two do a dance challenge. According to Prudential, dancing has a lot of benefits. “The movements associated with dance can increase flexibility and reduce stiffness. Don’t over-exert yourself though – even the simple stretches associated with dancing can help ease joint pain and any soreness from other more strenuous exercises.”

3. She Does Pilates

Tiwari likes to do Pilates to stay in shape. She is featured in this video that her trainer posted on Instagram. In it, Tiwari is seen doing different exercises at the studio. She uses a reformer, cables, and a circle. The Houston Methodist reports, “The goal is to be in total control of your body as you move. That requires beginning from your central core muscles and using the stability these muscles provide to smoothly control your arms, legs and other extremities. This is no easy feat, which is what makes Pilates a great way to build strength and stamina.”

4. She Has A Strong Work Ethic

Tiwari has a strong work ethic, especially when it comes to fitness. Her trainer, Praveen Nair praised her for this in the caption of his Instagram video. He writes, “When it comes passion, dedication, staying focused, and most importantly, giving the best when it comes to fitness and exercise and we love those kind of people … @palaktiwarii you are diamond 💎 and we love teaching you and training you …”

5. She Loves Fruits First Thing In The Morning

Tiwari opened up about her daily diet to Bollywood Hungama. She says that for breakfast she loves fruit. “I start now with fruits, because now I wake up late, so I go to the gym immediately after,” she says. “I need some sustenance. I take one banana. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll have some berries with honey, and some dried fruits.”

Kate Sharma, the actress, model and influencer, loves to share her everyday life with her fans, including her many outfit changes. Sharma posted a reel of herself walking and posing in a black bathing suit and see-through skirt, with the hashtag “reel it, feel it.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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 Loves To Take Baths

Sharma loves the physical and mental benefits of taking regular baths. “Baths help many people sleep well,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “They also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors.”

Baths have been a popular way to relax and unwind for centuries, and there are a number of potential health benefits associated with taking a soak in the tub. Here are a few examples:

  1. Stress relief: The warm water and the act of soaking in a bath can help to relax the muscles and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that taking a warm bath can lower blood pressure and heart rate, both of which can be indicators of stress.
  2. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of a bath can also help to improve sleep quality. A warm bath before bedtime can help you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed.
  3. Pain relief: Soaking in warm water can help to reduce muscle pain and soreness, particularly after exercise. The buoyancy of the water can also help to take the weight off of sore joints, making it easier to move around.

2. She Swims

Sharma enjoys swimming as part of her fitness regimen. "Because the activity is less weight-bearing, certain groups of people can take advantage of it if they want to be active,” says Brian Wright, associate professor of kinesiology at DePauw University. “One can also continue to do it late into one's age, as opposed to weight-bearing activities like running.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Like most Bollywood stars, Sharma is an accomplished dance performer. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD.

4. She Enjoys Indian Snacks

Pani,Puri,,Golgappe,,Chat,Item,,IndiaShutterstock

Sharma is a big fan of pani puri, an Indian street snack consisting of fried dough balls filled with vegetables. "The water used in pani puri are flavors of cumin, mint and tamarind,” says Senior Clinical Dietician Neha Bhatia. “Mint water and cumin are good for weight loss. Not just for weight loss, mint water is good for health as well. It can help in curing irritable bowel syndrome, provide relief to indigestion and improve immunity. Mint also has fiber, vitamin A, iron, manganese and folate."

5. She Loves the Beach

Sharma loves spending time at the beach. “The physical sensation of putting your feet in warm sand causes people to relax,” says Richard Shuster, PsyD. “We’ve been conditioned to think of the beach as peaceful and relaxing. We expect when we go to the beach that we are going to relax.”

Spending time at the beach can have a number of health benefits. Here are a few examples:

  1. Improved mental health: The sound of the waves and the smell of the saltwater can help to relax the mind and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that spending time in natural environments can help to improve mental health and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety.
  2. Increased vitamin D: Sun exposure is an important source of vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. Spending time at the beach can help you get more vitamin D, which can be difficult to get from food alone.
  3. Increased physical activity: The beach is a great place for physical activity, such as swimming, surfing, or playing beach sports. Exercise is important for overall health, as it can help to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones and muscles, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
  4. Improved skin health: The sun's UV rays can have a drying effect on the skin, but the saltwater and sand at the beach can help to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. The ocean's minerals can also help to improve skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
  5. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of spending time at the beach can also help to improve sleep quality. Getting enough restful sleep is important for overall health, as it helps to repair the body and support immune function.

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

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? 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
