1. She Loves Yoga & Pilates

AvrRam revealed some of her wellness secrets in an interview with The Hindu Business Line. She says that she does a combination of two exercises each day. “My daily routine includes yoga and pilates (a German system of fitness). Sometimes I work out in the pilates studio where oxygen is low, so it's like being on a mountain peak — you burn more calories.”

2. She Adjusts Her Exercises

AvrRam has a busy schedule, which means she doesn’t always have time to workout. However, she makes it work. She tells The Hindu Business Line that she changes her daily workouts depending on her schedule. “I adjust my exercise sessions depending on my shooting schedules.”

3. She Has A Day Off

AvrRam may have a busy schedule, but she still makes time for herself. She tells The Hindu Business Line that she always has one day off each week. “Sunday is a ‘no work’ day, I sleep a little longer and relax more. My pilates instructor says that rest is as important as a workout.”

AvrRam tells The Hindu Business Line that she believes in a balanced diet. She says that this has helped her eat healthier. “I used to crave sweets. Now, I do not. I have chocolate or carbohydrates for energy. People should keep the balance and make themselves a lifestyle diet that is life-long.”

5. She Makes Her Skincare Products

AvrRam has amazing skin, and she makes her own products. She revealed her recipe and process to The Hindustan Times. “Mix one aspirin (crush it) with yoghurt and honey.

Poonam Bajwa is sharing the latest entry of her “pool diaries” feature on social media. The Indian actress shows off her fabulous figure in her latest Instagram post, an image of herself lounging in a luxury pool. “Only from the heart can you touch the sky,” she captioned it, quoting Rumi. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Poonam 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 is Inspired by Other Women

Poonam seeks her inspiration from other women. “Any woman who is strong and independent inspires me. Be it a security lady or an army officer or an actress, if I see a woman who is very confident, sure about herself and strong, I would appreciate that a lot,” she told Behind Woods. “That’s something i always look for and admire in women. I feel good about it and it makes me happy. I feel like, wow, there’s a change happening and there are more and more women emerging out. I hope that this trend continues. It is not restricted to one famous person or someone who is close to me, I make it a point to notice it in everyday life.”

2. She Prioritizes Hydration

Staying hydrated is a crucial part of Poonam’s wellness plan. She makes sure to drink enough water by using a water bottle with measurements, which allows her to keep track of consumption and hit all of her hydration goals.

3. She Does Yoga

Poonam is one of the many stars who swear by yoga. Not only does a regular yoga practice help you stay physically fit, but the workout boasts mental health benefits as well. “Yoga diaries,” she wrote in the caption of this photo, showing herself getting her zen on.

4. She Tries to Maintain a Balanced Diet

Poonam has a “huge issue of losing and gaining weight frequently,” she told Behind Woods. “I mean it happens frequently for me. I have a tendency to put on weight easily. I think the drawback is that actors don't have a consistent routine. The schedule when you’re at work is completely different from when you’re in sets.” When she is working she tries to eat lots of fruits, salads, hot water, and green tea only. “All the damage happens when I’m at home for more than a week because that’s when your mother says ‘oh my daughter is working too hard, I have made this and please have’ and you can't’ refuse. When you say you want to diet, they don’t take it very well too, so that’s the issue indeed. This is the challenge. I try my best to strike a balance between the two,” she said, adding: “The basic thing I guess is to never starve yourself and to have your dinner early.”

5. She Does Lots of Workouts

A key piece of advice from Poonam? “Just try to be active throughout the day,” she told Behind Woods. “Also, do gymming, walking or running for an hour. It’s more important to be on your feet all day and not sit or sleep for long time. These are the basics that I follow all the time and I think this is better to do something that you can consistently keep up with rather than going for weight loss or diet phases.”

Then every Sunday, it’s burgers galore.” Panday shared these photos on Instagram of herself enjoying her go to Sunday burger and fries. She captioned it, “Literally me every Sunday when I’m reunited w my burger (bae).”

4. She’s Happy With Herself

Panday opened up about her approach to wellness to Vogue India. She says that she focuses on how she feels and what makes her happy, rather than trying to lose weight. “I am the happiest with my body when it’s well-fed, well-rested and well-exercised,” Panday says. “More than trying to hit a target body weight or size, I am looking more for happiness by simply being kind to my body.”

5. She Loves Yoga

One thing Panday likes to do to stay in shape is practice yoga. She does many different kinds of yoga as well. Panday shared these photos on Instagram from the studio.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

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

Pilates

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.
