Bollywood star Soha Ali Khan is hitting the gym after a much-needed vacation in beautiful Goa. Khan, 46, shared video of herself wearing black pants and a white shirt, doing intense strength training exercises using weights and resistance equipment. “After a long lazy weekend in Goa going back to the gym was tough tough tough. And the word 'easy' is not in @maheshfitnessclub s dictionary 💪🏻 🏋️,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress stays fit and strong, inside and out.
Pilates and Yoga
Khan works out every day, and loves Pilates, yoga, and fast walking. “This not only keeps me invigorated and focused but also promotes blood circulation for a youthful glow,” she told NDTV. Deep breathing exercises help me stay grounded, and stress-reduction strategies like mindfulness and meditation assist me in managing responsibilities to my family and job. Recognizing the importance of sleep for overall health, I ensure to get seven to nine hours of sleep every night. This period of rest allows my body and skin to repair and regenerate.”
Healthy Snacks for Glowing Skin
Khan focuses on foods that give her clear, glowing skin. “As part of my on-the-go snacks, I include healthy options like almonds, berries, and fruits,” she told NDTV. “These choices contribute to both my skin health and overall well-being. Almonds, in particular, contain vitamin E, which has been shown to impart anti-aging properties. I also include hydrating fruits like oranges, cucumbers, and melons in my diet, and ensure to drink at least eight glasses of water daily to stay well-hydrated. Overall, a diet rich in nuts like almonds, whole grains, citrus fruits, and leafy greens promotes glowing skin.
Skincare Routine
Khan has a trusted skincare routine for beauty and wellness. “To achieve a hydrated look, I exfoliate 1 to 2 times a week using a gentle scrub and opt for a mild, moisturising cleanser to remove impurities without stripping natural oils from my skin,” she told NDTV. “For added moisture, I use a rich, nourishing cream that locks in hydration and acts as a protective barrier against harsh weather conditions. I also apply SPF 30 sunscreen to shield myself from the sun's harmful UV rays. I usually adjust my routine based on my skin's changing needs to ensure it remains nourished and protected throughout the year.”
Good Sleep
ShutterstockKhan prioritizes good quality sleep every night. “Adequate sleep is essential for healthy physical, mental, and emotional functioning,” she told Times of India. “I make sure to get 6-7 hours of sleep each night, and I'm mindful of its quality by adopting small measures like avoiding screen time use at least 1 hour before bed and limiting caffeine intake after 6 pm. Being stressed can make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I remain vigilant about this and incorporate mindful practices like guided meditation and journaling.”
Holistic Health
Khan has a holistic approach to health and fitness. “My approach to health has been deeply influenced by my mother, whose commitment to fitness and wellness has always been a source of inspiration, and as a mother myself, I feel a strong responsibility to be a positive role model for my daughter, Innaya,” she told Times of India.
