Shuttershock

Makbul has a high-energy kickstart to the day, with green drinks and energizing workouts. “Best morning routine is drinking hot water with lemon, going for my green smoothie and then kickboxing,” she says. “Followed by breakfast and then the day starts.”

2. Walking Every Day

Makbul makes a point of walking every day, especially when she doesn’t have time for a workout. Research shows walking is incredibly beneficial for health. “Walking every day for 30 minutes does justice and wonders to your body,” she says. Another tip from Makbul? Take the stairs whenever possible.

3. Pilates Sessions

Makbul swears by Pilates for her toned, lean yet strong physique. "Pilates is a type of strength training exercise that encourages you to identify and work within the limits of your body," says Leanne Wonesh, an athletic trainer at Houston Methodist. "There's also an inherent mindfulness to it and a lot of breath work, which can help relieve tension and stress."

4. Running Is Her Favorite

Running is Makbul’s favorite workout, especially during the pandemic lockdowns when going to the gym wasn’t an option. “Exercise has a dramatic antidepressive effect,” says David J. Linden, PhD. “It blunts the brain’s response to physical and emotional stress... Voluntary exercise is the single best thing one can do to slow the cognitive decline that accompanies normal aging."

5. She Loves Yoga

Makbul enjoys the mental and physical benefits of regular yoga sessions. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts,” say the experts at Johns Hopkins Health. “Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

1. This is Her Exercise Routine

“...during quarantine was zero, but I usually work out at the DogPound. I’ve built a gym in my house, with a Peloton and everything and free weights but it’s so hard to get the willpower to work out when I’m by myself. A personal trainer just helps me get…off the couch,” she told Elle.

2. She Does Pilates

“I’ve been doing a lot of SLT. It’s like a really intense Pilates with a machine. I’ve noticed with my body that small movements have done more for my body than the boot camps. My body moves better when it’s very focused on small movements that elongate your body and your muscles,” she told the Cut.

3. This is Her Take on Eating

“I’m a big believer in not doing crazy diets and not to stop eating what makes you happy or what you like. It’s all about balance. If you’ve had a long day and you really want a burger, just have that burger or pizza and maybe for lunch the next day you have fish with vegetables or salad with chicken,” she told the Cut.

4. Here’s How She Deals With Stress

“I’m still trying to figure this out. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and depression, I’m on medication which really helps but there’s still some anxiety. For me, what works the best is learning when I need my own space and my own time and if I just need to spend the whole day watching TV, that’s what I’m going to do. Putting those kinds of needs in front of constantly having to do something because if you’re not, you’re not working hard enough. Baths really help and sometimes it really is just sitting in front of the TV eating a bag of popcorn or just sleeping,” she told Elle.

5. She Has Learned to Love Her Body

She has learned to love her body. “I really learned to take my body for what it is; love it if I put on weight, love it if I lose weight - we’re all human beings, we fluctuate but I used to be really hard on myself. It’s one of those things when you’re in your formative years, you really take it personally,” she told Elle, “but now I’m like, I’ve put on weight this quarantine and my” chest “grew and I’m like this is great!”

And what ends up happening is you have a whole bunch of people who are minded, but never end up speaking their mind. I don’t think you should even be apologetic for who you are.”
