Pooja maintains variety with exercise. She told Vogue India that she does headstand workshops, aerial dance classes, Pilates, calisthenics, kick-boxing, circuit, and interval training. “My grandfather is a sportsman who has been felicitated by the President of India. My mom was super athletic. But I always had a lazy excuse ready for every PT class,” she said.

Pooja refuses to abide by unrealistic body image goals. “We have so many beauty standards. I have been told I am fat and also too thin. All my life I have wanted to be like someone else—have the legs and torso of a Victoria’s Secret model perhaps—until I realized I can’t,” she told Vogue.

3. Avoid Crash Diets

Pooja strives for a healthy diet, eating every two hours. She avoids crash diets and juice cleanses at all costs. “You need to take care of your body till you’re 40. After that, your body will take care of you,” she told Vogue.

4. Hydrate

Hydration is key for Pooja. Not only does she drink a lot of water, but uses coconut oil on her skin and in her food. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

5. Stay Active Outdoors

Pooja is big on outdoor activity. She loves hiking, snorkeling, and taking walks. “Found Nemo! He and his friend were cuties ☺️☺️ #snorkeltales” she captioned this photo from one of her snorkeling trips. Swimming can do wonders. "The pace is up to you, and any stroke is fine. Breaststroke, sidestroke, and backstroke are often favored because a lot of people don't like putting their face in the water, like you have to do with the crawl," says Leigh de Chaves, a physical therapist and clinical supervisor of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital, to Harvard Health.

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

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.

But he was a yes man, he trusted me and he came along for the ride. 30 mins later, it was just the two of us somewhere in the middle of the ocean with the sky covering us like a blanket, and the sun slowly going below the horizon changing the colour of the water and the sky.

Bad sleep cycle, very little or no excercise, difficulty to just get out of the bed, always irritable, constantly breaking down without knowing why,procrastinating all the time, complete shut off on all social interactions cause people constantly commented on how skinny/weak I looked. I was in my personal worst of 43 kilos and I was pretending to be happy constantly while I was so insecure about my body. So after the push from my bestfriend, I started working out to get my life back in order. It's been 3 weeks, I have been going to the gym and my life already feels so much better. I'm waking up at 6am, sleeping by 11, eating right ( from almost 2 meals to atleast 4 meals ), getting more sun time. I'm not at my best but soon I will be and I can't wait to show off my gains to you all soon.”

Hydration is also a big part of Pooja’s strategy. Not only does she drink a lot of water, but uses coconut oil on her skin and in her food. "Coconut oil contains a high level of saturated fat, iron, and vitamins K and E which helps hair grow at a much more rapid pace. Additionally, coconut oil can strengthen damaged hair by providing it with extra moisture, which prevents dandruff, lice, fungus, and other infections. Furthermore, coconut oil cannot only provide many health benefits to your hair, but it can also help to serve as a natural, organic styling aid used to add volume and shine and combat frizz," says Penn Medicine.

Hegde loves to go outside, even when the pandemic was happening. In an Instagram post, she encouraged her followers to go outside and get into nature. “Just appreciating the things we can't have right now. Spent a weekend just a few weeks before the lockdown at a place a little off Mangalore. It was just nature and people who really appreciated it. It was so beautiful to just be there and have a piece of nature all to yourself. No city lights, no sky scraping buildings, just tall trees and a sky full of stars. We would do anything for a getaway like that right now right? Anyway, now that we are locked up at home, surrounded by walls all we want is to get out for a breath of fresh air. That's all we care about. SO REMEMBER. When we go back to living our normal lives, remember to be nice to mother earth. This is what gives us life. And to live a life the most important thing is a planet to live on, air to breathe, food and water to survive, everything else is an illusion we have created about things we think we need to survive’. Work towards the things that matter. Be nice to Mother Earth.”
