Kritika Malik is a very successful singer. She makes sure to hit the gym, and sometimes she does so with her brother. Malik revealed in a recent Instagram video that her brother is her personal trainer, and she shared some of the exercises he has her do. In it, Malik is seen doing deadlifts and squats with weights, and using the leg extension machine. Malik captioned the post, “My brother is the best trainer.”


1. She Works With A Trainer

Using a personal trainer, like Malik does, has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them.”

2. She Strength Trains

Malik is seen using weights in her Instagram video. Doing strength training exercises is very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic states, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.”

3. She Does Squats

Malik is seen doing squats with a barbell in the Instagram video. Squats are a great exercise. According to Allina Health, “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

4. She Does Leg Extensions

Malik is also seen using the leg extension machine in her Instagram video. Asphalt Green reports that this is very beneficial. “Leg extensions using this exercise machine work your thighs. In fact, that’s basically the only thing that they work. That’s great if you want to build strength and mass quickly. To get started, slide into a sitting position on the machine from the open side.”

5. She Does Deadlifts

Malik is seen doing deadlifts with a hand weight in her Instagram post. NASM states that these exercises are very beneficial. “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts.”

Indian actress Sara Ali Khan is giving her 45 million Instagram followers a look at what a typical core workout looks like. Khan, 28, shared a video of herself wearing green shorts and a sports bra, doing slow, controlled abdominal exercises on a Pilates reformer machine. “Start your day right, hold your core tight. I shall invest in some more gym wear soon! Till then I’m more than happy in my green,” reads the text over her post. Khan famously lost almost 90 pounds through diet and exercise—here’s how the star keeps it off and focuses on her health.


1. Her Fitness Goals

Khan changes up her fitness goals depending on her work—for example, having to look a certain way for a certain role. “But my fitness endeavor started before the realization that I wanted to become an actor,” she told Elle India. “My fitness goal is to wake up every morning and get in at least an hour of some form of exercise so I am a stronger and happier version of myself. I think the hormones that one has going after a good workout and just the feeling of satisfaction and conviction in yourself after a good workout is irreplaceable. That feel-good-serotonin that just rushes through your body is my goal.”

2. Moody Day Workouts

Khan does specific workouts to lift her mood when she needs a boost. “Usually a swim or a boxing session helps,” she told Elle India. “But if it's an extremely low day, and then I think a piece of chocolate that guilts me into working out even harder the next day keeps me going.”

3. 90-Pound Weight Loss

Khan lost almost 90 pounds and transformed her life. “My weight loss journey has been a profound learning experience, unveiling crucial insights into wellness and self-care,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “The massive impact nutrition has on overall fitness has been my key takeaway from my journey. It is rightly said beauty truly begins in the kitchen. I have come to appreciate the nourishing power of natural ingredients for nurturing my skin from within.”

4. Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Care

Khan has a holistic approach to health and beauty. “I think beauty tips are very subjective because it depends on how comfortable you are with the products you use,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “But for me a couple of these things are essential on a daily routine basis – a good, nourishing shower gel with skin conditioners, an effective sunscreen and lots of water throughout the day. I usually keep an hour in the day to meditate or practice yoga which also lets me unwind and relax.”

5. Her Fitness Advice

Khan has good advice for fitness beginners. “Don’t get disappointed if you don’t see immediate results, anything worth it takes time,” she told Elle India. “Look good, feel good, work harder—I work out better when I look better so dress for yourself in the gym. Set a weekly target for yourself with a reward system, so you can keep going. Working out is just half the battle, eating right is as important. Change up your routine; body, mind and souls enjoy variation in workout!”

Actress Sara Ali Khan did an Instagram story Q&A. One of the questions she was asked was what her favorite place was to travel to. Khan answered, “India,” and posted several stunning photos of herself to accompany it. One of the photos was of her in a yellow bathing suit. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sara Ali Khan 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 Enjoys Working Out

Sara-Ali-KhanSara Ali Khan/Instagram

Khan tells Vogue that she actually enjoys working out. Therefore, it’s easy for her to get some exercise in on a regular basis. “I feel my most beautiful right after a workout. I think that I feel emotionally, mentally and physically healthiest. I just feel happy, positive, rejuvenated, energised, hence beautiful.” "Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn," says the Mayo Clinic. "Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none at all."

2. She Loves Cardio

Khan tells Vogue that she does a lot of cardio workouts. She says that these types of exercises helped her lose weight when she started getting into fitness. “I simply started eating healthy and began working out when in New York. There were so many different types of classes in that city, from functional training to boxing to cycling. But because I was so overweight at the start, my routine was more about cardio-heavy workouts like walking, cycling and hitting the treadmill—so that I could lose the weight before entering the intermediate forms of exercise.”

3. She Loves Pilates

Khan tells Vogue that Pilates is both her favorite and her most important part of her fitness routine. “Pilates is definitely the backbone of my fitness,” says Khan. “It strengthens body balance and works on your core, which is the powerhouse of your entire body. Doing Pilates has enabled me to gain strength that's not only helpful in looking good but also in boosting physical stamina.”

4. She Edits Her Workout Playlists

Khan tells Vogue that she loves to listen to music when she works out. However, she sometimes likes to edit the songs she uses. “I recently discovered that on YouTube you can change the playback speed of songs. So now, I can actually work out to pretty much any song depending on the pace of it. I can always make it 1.25, 1.5 or two times faster than the original track, so that makes it a lot easier.”

5. She’s True To Herself

In this interview with Vogue, Khan revealed the best advice her mother gave her. She said that her mother encouraged her to stay true to herself at all times. “I feel the best [one] she has given me is to be yourself. The world that we live in, [it] has no place [for you] to be anybody else. You should just be proud of who you are, discover who you are, and continue to just be who you are always.”

Khushi Kapoor isn’t afraid of showing off her figure. She shares a bunch of gorgeous photos on social media. Kapoor recently shared a new set of photos on her Instagram page. In them, she is seen in a black coat, a swimsuit, and sitting down. Kapoor received a lot of praise in her comments. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Khushi Kapoor stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works With A Trainer

Kapoor works with trainer, Namrata Purohit, to help her stay in shape. Purohit shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of the two of them exercising. The Australian Institute of Fitness reports that having a trainer leads to a lot of benefits. “Having an educated personal trainer beside you to demonstrate the correct posture and technique is invaluable. A personal trainer will ensure clients are performing exercises correctly and efficiently, in order to maximise results. Good form when performing exercises is also essential in reducing the risk of injury. Many people every year are seriously injured by performing exercises they have not received training for, and this can impact their health and fitness for a long time. Having someone trained in how to execute certain tasks will greatly reduce the level of risk and increase the effectiveness of your fitness routine.”

2. She Does Fun Workouts

Purohit makes sure to have fun when Kapoor works out with her. In this video, the two are seen tapping lights while in plank position. Purohit talked about why she makes Kapoor’s sessions fun in the caption. “Playing a game and burning it up with @khushi05k 🔥 fitness is so much more than we think - reaction time, mind body coordination, focus, concentration and of course the obvious strength, stability, balance! It all matters ⭐️ and we make sure we work on it all! And have fun while we are at it.”

3. She Does Full Body Workouts

When it comes to working out, Kapoor doesn’t skip a part of her body. Purohit does a lot of full-body workouts with her. Purohit shared this video on Instagram of herself and Kapoor doing a session. In it, they are seen doing squats and tricep and bicep curls with cables and a bar. Purohit captioned the post, “A full body workout this morning with @khushi05k ! 🔥 Working on everything.. strength, mobility, balance, stability and more.”

4. She Does Pilates

Kapoor does a lot of Pilates with Purohit. Her trainer shared this photo of the two of them using a reformer on Instagram. The Houston Methodist states that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “As far as what muscles Pilates works, it's technically considered a total body workout. In working the entire body, though, Pilates' movements are primarily designed to target your core muscles, including your: Abdominal muscles. Hip muscles. Gluteal muscles. Lower and upper back muscles. Inner thigh muscles. The goal is to be in total control of your body as you move. That requires beginning from your central core muscles and using the stability these muscles provide to smoothly control your arms, legs and other extremities.”

5. She Gets Her Vitamin D

Vitamin D, often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," offers a myriad of health benefits when obtained from sunlight exposure. The primary natural source of this essential vitamin is the ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation emitted by the sun. When our skin is exposed to sunlight, it triggers the synthesis of vitamin D within our bodies. This crucial vitamin plays a vital role in maintaining optimal health. Firstly, it aids in the absorption and regulation of calcium and phosphorus, promoting strong and healthy bones. Additionally, vitamin D contributes to a robust immune system, reducing the risk of various infections and diseases. It also plays a role in supporting cardiovascular health, managing blood pressure, and reducing inflammation. Moreover, vitamin D is associated with improved mental health and mood regulation. Adequate sunlight exposure, while maintaining proper sun safety practices, can contribute significantly to fulfilling the body's vitamin D requirements and reaping these numerous health benefits.

One thing Prabhu does to stay in shape is aerial yoga. She shares a lot of photos of herself doing it on Instagram. In this photo, Prabhu is seen upside down in the silks. She captioned the post, “Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.” Aerial yoga, like all forms of yoga, has a lot of benefits. Ace Fitness reports that a study shows that aerial yoga can help with heart health. “The study revealed that a single 50-minute session of Aerial Yoga burned an average of 320 calories and yielded cardiovascular effects in the range of low- to moderate-intensity exercise. Both of these findings suggest Aerial Yoga is an effective form of exercise for promoting good health. After the six-week long Aerial Yoga program, participants experienced significant improvements in several health risk factors such as body weight, body-fat percentage and blood pressure. The combined improvements in these risk factors suggest that participants reduced their risk for a cardiovascular heart disease event, such as a heart attack, by approximately 10 percent over the course of the six-week intervention.”

4. She Works Out Without Equipment

Samantha.Ruth.Prabhu.1Samantha Ruth Prabhu/Instagram

Prabhu likes to hit the gym or go outside to workout. But that’s not the only way she does so. Prabhu also does equipment free exercises.

5. She Works With A Trainer

As she wrote in the previous post’s caption, Prabhu works with a trainer to help herself stay in shape. Ace Fitness states that having a trainer has a lot of benefits. “Fitness can be confusing. There is a lot of information to sort through. Eat this, not that. Cardio before or after strength training? Your trainer can help you find credible information and provide direction on your fitness journey. A trainer can help remove the guesswork so you can put all your energy toward accomplishing your goals.”

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
