1. Find Joy in Fitness

If you want a fit figure like Shakti, try enjoying exercise. “I think being fit is an indispensable ingredient for holistic well-being. Being in the business of the entertainment, fitness plays a more imperative role because there is a corporal representation to constantly cater to. I’m fit largely because I enjoy being fit, so 90 per cent free will and 10 per cent compulsion,” she told DNA India.

2. Do Yoga

Shakti also suggests striking a post. “I always find the time to exercise, I don’t really make excuses,” she added. One of her favorite forms of fitness? “I like to start my day with meditation followed by yoga and then exercise. So I’ll wake up three hours prior to my call time on sets in case I’m shooting and make sure I burn those calories,” she said. She even manages to slip in exercise while on the set. “I have a yoga mat in my vanity van,” she added.

3. Dance Off Calories

Shakti revealed to DNA that dancing helps her stay fit. She told DNA, “it’s also important to note that dance is a great form of exercise and I’m constantly burning calories because I’m busy dancing all-day long.”

4. Workout Daily

Exercise is a daily job for Shakti. “I generally workout every day for a minimum of 30 minutes with a 15 minute warm up and in case I have extra time then 60 minutes,” she told DNA. “My workouts include breathing exercises like Kapal Bhati, ab crunches and strength training. Breathing is crucial in dancing and so, it is an important part of my exercises.”

5. Practice Discipline with Your Diet

“I’m pretty disciplined with my diet and I have been maintaining this routine for years now. Since childhood, I have been a very careful eater as I always stayed away from fried food,” Shakti told DNA. She starts with a “heavy” breakfast including fruits, cereals, juices, and eggs, and she makes sure to hydrate. “I sip on a lot of water throughout the day,” she added. For lunch she eats roti or brown rice, salad, tandoor, and curd. “For dinner, I have lots of steamed vegetables and soup. I prefer to stay away from packaged foods and junk during the week and I’m very conscious of the nutritional factor in the food. Indian cuisine is my favorite.”

6. Give Yourself Cheat Days

Shaki suggests indulging one day a week. “I do cheat on Sundays when I eat whatever I fancy. I’m not a foodie and I don’t believe in experimenting with food but also not completely restricting my cravings. You have one life and you have to live it, in a disciplined manner!” she said.
