Pooja Hegde Shares Swimsuit Photo of "Sunset Blues"

Pooja Hegde has the blues – in her swimsuit. The Indian actress shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. “Sunset blues,” she captioned an ethereal Instagram video of herself in a blue bathing suit and matching pareo. How does the gorgeous actress keep herself in such fantastic physical shape? Here are the go-to health habits that help her stay fit.

1. Lots of Exercise

Pooja spends a lot of time exercising. She discussed her approach to fitness with Vogue India, explaining 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 admitted.

2. Self-Acceptance

Pooja maintains that loving herself is key. “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. Healthy Eating

Pooja maintains a healthy diet. She has revealed that she avoids crash diets and does juice cleanses. “You need to take care of your body till you’re 40. After that, your body will take care of you,” she told Vogue. She also revealed that she eats small meals every two hours.

4. Hydration

Pooja is a big proponent of hydration. Not only does she drink a lot of water, but uses coconut oil on her skin and in her food. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

5. Active Lifestyle

Even when she isn’t exercising, Pooja spends a lot of time outdoors engaging in activities. 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.

Roopa Rayappa is best known for her role in the K.G.F. film series. She’s also appeared in Sri Ranga and One Cut Two Cut. Rayappa shared a stunning new reel on Instagram. In it, she enjoyed a beach day. Rayappa wore a green and blue swimsuit, looking gorgeous, and showing off her figure. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Roopa Rayappa stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Doesn’t Stress About Roles

In an interview with Times Of India, Rayappa talked about her career, and the roles she goes for. She says that she doesn’t really stress out about how big or small her role is. “I don’t feel overshadowed because I know the roles I choose will have an important part to play in the film. Overshadowing happens sometimes when the director or an actor decides to upstage all the other artistes. But, an ensemble cast helps us perform better as we have to keep up with the rest of the cast. But again, it’s not pressure.”

2. She Doesn’t Want To Be Typecast

Rayappa tells Times Of India that she doesn’t want to be typecast as any particular role. “Post KGF, I was approached with stereotypical roles and I consciously stayed away from them as I was scared of being typecast. When the makers of One Cut Two Cut approached me, I was confident of pulling off the role. The movie was released on OTT and my role was appreciated. In The Judgement, I play a central character with dual shades.”

3. She Does Research

Rayappa likes to do a lot of research about acting. She tells Times Of India, “I took to reading two years ago and I haven’t stopped since. Actors get a lot of free time between the shots during projects and reading is the most efficient use of time. Books have helped me manoeuvre through life situations. I have also been reading a lot of biographies of actors and there is so much to learn from them. Irrespective of industries, the struggle for all of us is the same. The stories of glitz and glam, the rise and fall… it is all very relatable. It helps us realise that we actors have a lot of endurance and can face anything.”

4. She Swims

As you can see from her recent post, Rayappa likes to go to the beach. She naturally likes to go swimming to keep herself in shape. Rayappa shared this video on Instagram of herself wading in the ocean. She captioned the post, “You’ve got to learn to let go.” Wake Forest University states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “If you have injuries or sore joints, swimming is great for your body. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just looking for a low-impact alternative, swimming is much less jarring than other forms of exercise.”

5. She Gets Sun

To suntan responsibly, follow these guidelines:

1. Use sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
2. Limit exposure: Avoid prolonged sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM) when the sun's rays are strongest.
3. Seek shade: Take breaks in the shade to reduce your overall sun exposure.
4. Wear protective clothing: Cover up with long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.
5. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated in the sun.
6. Gradual exposure: Start with short sessions and gradually increase your time in the sun to minimize the risk of sunburn.
7. Check your skin: Monitor your skin for any unusual changes or moles and consult a dermatologist if you notice anything concerning.

"Chlorine is a pretty powerful disinfectant and can, in fact, cause some damage to the outer layer cells that protect the cornea," says Dr. Muriel Schornack, a Mayo Clinic optometrist. "The eye becomes red, irritated. You might become photophobic, or sensitive to light. Your vision might blur a little bit, and your eyes are going to feel irritated or even, frankly, painful," says Dr. Schornack.

2. She Does Pilates

Hegde is a big fan of doing Pilates as a workout. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself doing exercises on a revolver, with a trainer. She captioned the reel, “Me trying to burn off last night’s dessert.” "Some of the principles that guide the Pilates method include concentration on each movement, use of the abdomen and low back muscles, flowing movement patterns that are precise and a steady and controlled breathing. Depending on the exercise, Pilates routines can be performed on specially-designed apparatuses, including a bed-like structure called a reformer, or on a mat or blanket," says the Cleveland Clinic.

3. She Does Yoga

Another of Hegde’s favorite workouts is yoga. She posted this photo on Instagram of her doing a yoga pose, captioning the post, “Next up.. take the other foot off the ground and fly off into the sunset.” "While most of the evidence for the effects of yoga on weight loss is anecdotal or experiential, yoga teachers, students and practitioners across the world find that yoga helps to support weight loss. Many teachers specialize in yoga programs to promote weight management and find that even gentle yoga practices help support weight loss. People do not have to practice the most vigorous forms of yoga to lose weight. Yoga encourages development of a positive self-image, as more attention is paid to nutrition and the body as a whole. A study from the Journal of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine found that regular yoga practice was associated with less age-related weight gain. The lifestyle study of 15,500 adults in their 50’s covered 10 years of participants’ weight history, physical activity, medical history and diet," says the Yoga Alliance.

4. She Does Leg Workouts

Hegde posted this video on Instagram of herself doing squats on one leg. She captioned the video, “Burning all that sugar I’ve eaten in the past 3 days.” "Do leg slides to tone your abdominal and leg muscles. Lie flat on your back and slightly bend your knees. Inhale and slide one leg to a straight position. Exhale and return to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Gets Outside

Hegde is a big fan of going outside and getting fresh air. In February last year, Hegde posted this photo on Instagram of her hiking. ""We get our vitamin D from the sun. Most of us don't get a lot of sun in the winter. So many of us start to see low vitamin D in the winter months, and there are a few studies that suggest low vitamin D may make you more susceptible to colds and flu," says the Mayo Clinic.
