Priyanka Chopra in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shows Off Flat Tummy
Priyanka Chopra is sharing a glimpse into her life β and photos of herself in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the actress shows off her flat tummy in a crop top and sweats, looking absolutely incredible. "Lately," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and videos. "π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ looking gorgeous πππππππ," commented one of her followers. "Miss perfect," added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Protein for Weight Loss
"I don't really have a diet. I wing it by the seat of my pants," Priyanka told ELLE about her eating style. "It's such a girl thing to do, like if I feel, 'Ughh, I put on a few pounds' and I feel gross about [myself] I suddenly start eating salad, protein, and soup. Otherwise, if I am feeling like I am in great shape I am okay with cheeseburgers and pizza. So, when someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don't really have one." Why should you consider amping up your protein to lose weight? Several clinical trials have found that consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.
Hydration
Priyanka maintains that "juices and water are very high" are a top priority. "In fact, water is a must for everyone, at least 10 glasses a day. I often overshoot that, but it does wonders to your skin," she told Times of India. 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, explains the Mayo Clinic.
Jump Roping
Priyanka is a fan of the jump rope. "I love skipping. I learnt it really really well in school and then I learnt it even better during Mary Kom, so I try to get my cardio in my skipping. It's easy to carry, you have your skipping rope in your bag, it's easy to do," Priyanka revealed in an interview. "Not only can the repetitive movement of skipping rope elevate your heart rate, work muscles in the arms and legs and burn calories, it may even provide a quick jolt of joy," says Nike.
Self-Care
Priyanka is an advocate of self-care. "If you have the ability to look out for your well-being, you also have the ability to look out for your family and friend's well-being," she said. "If you are inherently happy inside and you're investing in yourself and taking care of your own self, that's truly what wellness means."
Morning Workouts When Needed
"I start my day with some exercise," Priyanka explained to People. "Honestly, I work out only when I need to. My body responds very quickly to exercise, so I don't need too long to tone up and get into shape," she added to Vogue India. "I want to hit the gym but I work 15-hour days and I'm exhausted by the end of it."
