Soha Ali Khan in Two-Piece Workout Gear Hits the Gym After Vacation

Sara Ali Khan is enjoying a trip to the mountains with friends and loved ones. Khan, 28, shared highlights of the trip, including pictures of herself wearing joggers and a crop top, posing next to crystal clear waters and towering pines. Another snap shows her dipping her feet into a river, and posing next to a beautiful lake. “A piece of peace,” she captioned the post. Khan is known for her dedication to fitness and enviably toned physique—here’s what Khan’s health and wellness regimen looks like.

1. NYC-Inspired Fitness

Khan overhauled her fitness routine when she was in New York City. “There were so many different types of classes in that city, from functional training to boxing to cycling,” she told Vogue India. “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.”

2. Pilates Queen

Khan swears by Pilates workouts for her enviable abs. “Pilates is definitely the backbone of my fitness,” she told Vogue India. “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.”

3. Healthy Diet

Khan focuses on healthy foods that make her feel good. "I honestly think that my relationship with food has evolved," she told Times of India. "It used to be unhealthy, but I’ve learned and realized that food is important for its nutrition, energy, and how it makes you feel. So, I think that with the right balance and in moderation, one can have a healthy and accepting relationship with food."

Khan’s diet switches up depending on her work schedule. “If I’m shooting, then it's boiled eggs, boiled veggies, grilled chicken, grilled fish, bhindi, etc,” she told Times of India. “If not, then breakfast is everything on the buffet. Lunch is Sarso ka Saag, Maaki ki roti, Butter Chicken, Dakshinayan’s Uthappams, or even Farmer Café in Mumbai. For dinner, maybe Bastian, but it all depends on my schedule.”

5. Favorite Foods

Khan loves dark chocolate for a healthy yet decadent treat. “I like food markets a lot,” she told Times of India. “Whether it’s in Delhi or it’s in New York, I enjoy street food markets and have had the best experiences with them. I don’t think it’s really a secret, but my favorite indulgence is dark chocolate. A close second is Farmer Café’s desserts!”

Indian actress Soha Ali Khan is dedicated to her wellness and fitness regimen, and seems to be getting stronger by the year—her social media is proof! Khan, 45, shared a video of herself wearing purple leggings and a black tank top, lifting heavy weights at the gym with a personal trainer. “Bring it on!!! #fitnessmotivation #workout #vibes #bringiton,” she captioned the post, showing her using both machines and free-form dumbbells. “Such an inspiration you are,” an admiring fan commented. Here’s how the star stays fit, healthy, and beautiful.

1. HIIT Workouts

Khan enjoys HIIT and strength workouts. “My workout routine is a mixture of high intensity interval training, yoga and jogging,” she told The Financial Express. “I usually indulge myself with HIIT four times a week, jog twice and practice yoga maybe once a week. This exercise routine also helps me set a good example for my daughter, and I definitely sleep better at night, feel happier and relaxed – thanks to my exercise regime.”

2. Healthy Snacks

Khan keeps healthy snacks on hand to avoid consuming junk food. “I do this by mostly adding foods like nuts like almonds, Haldi, Hing, in my own and my family’s diet,” she told The Financial Express. “Having a little one at home also puts me under a microscope as she eats from my plate regularly, so to make sure she eats well too, I add ingredients that are healthy and tasty like broccoli, almonds, fish, dal, etc. to my meals. Additionally, since childhood my mom has inculcated the habit of consuming almonds daily, and I also know that they are a source of 15 nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, protein, riboflavin, zinc, etc. which is important to help grow your muscle mass and keep you energetic through the day.”

3. Light Dinner

Dinner is Khan’s lightest meal of the day. “I start my day with lukewarm water/Methi water along with a handful of plain or soaked almonds and consume them through the day at regular intervals, to keep my cravings at bay,” she told NDTV Food. “For breakfast, I usually eat a Dosa or an omelet with fresh fruits and a gluten-free toast with honey. For lunch, I like to eat chicken or fish with some dal, vegetables, and brown rice or roti. I end the day on a light note and usually have a salad with lots of vegetables, almonds, and herbs drizzled with a citrus dressing.”

4. Holistic Skincare

Khan is a firm believer that when it comes to beauty, you are what you eat. “I am very particular when it comes to skincare and a believer in the natural skincare routine,” she told The Financial Express. “I’ve also been very mindful of my diet in order to maintain healthy and glowing skin. Besides eating healthy food to nourish my skin from within, I also make sure to keep myself hydrated and drink at least 2-3 liters of water as it helps balance the pH level, flushes out the toxins, prevents zits and acne, and helps reduces the sagging of skin.”

5. Beetroot Juice

Khan makes sure she and her family consume plenty of immune-supporting fruits in the winter. “During winters, I try to include as many seasonal fruits as possible in our diet,” she told NDTV Food. “I like having beetroot juice and Amla, because of their beneficial values for the skin. Beetroot juice gives a glow to my skin and has anti-inflammatory properties.”

Janvi Kapoor is doing Pilates with Sara Ali Khan. In a new social media post the actress hits the gym with her pal, breaking a sweat in a two-piece workout ensemble. “No excuses, no abuses,” he friends wrote about the Instagram Stories image. How does Kapoor, 27, approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Pilates

In her post, Janhvi does a pilates workout with Sara. She told iDiva it is her favorite workout. “I guess I have made it pretty evident on my social media handles,” she said, adding that she likes that it stretches muscles and strengthens the core. “I think everyone should try doing that,” she added. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

2. Hydration

Hydration is a priority for Janhvi. According to Times of India, she starts her day with a few glasses of water, with the intention that it will help flush the toxins from her body. The Mayo Clinic recommends this minimum daily intake of water:

• Women — 11.5 cups
• Men — 15.5 cups

“By consuming the minimum recommendation of water, you’re helping your body function better and improving your overall health. Read tips and a recipe if you have difficulty drinking enough water daily,” they say.

3. Cardio After Weight Training

Janhvi told iDiva that she does cardio after weight training. “If we do it in the beginning, it uses up much of our energy source for the remaining exercises and fatigues the muscles before the most strenuous activities,” she said.

4. Healthy Diet

“I make sure to have a balanced diet as it keeps me fit and at the same time makes me feel energised and full. My diet includes mostly fruits and vegetables and I try to avoid junk food. I start my day with a glass of fresh juice and toast. On certain days, I also like to fix a quick smoothie for myself. Then for lunch, I prefer homemade food like lentils and brown rice. And finally, for dinner, I opt to eat my meal at least 3 hours before going to bed and it usually consists of vegetable soups, dal or boiled veggies,” Janhvi told Indian Express about how she eats.

5. Lighter Exercises on Off Days

Instead of skipping workouts when she doesn’t feel like hitting the gym, the star opts for lighter workouts like “jogging, swimming, and simple yoga poses. It is a motivation for me because I know at the end of it all, I feel super energized post workout.”

Sara Ali Khan is revealing the workout responsible for her amazing figure. In a new social media post the Bollywood star gives her followers a glimpse into her routine, sharing a workout video with her key exercises. “Gym instead of Jam 🧈🥖🥐🍓Best morning in the best gym in Paris,” she captioned it. How does the star sweat? Celebwell has the details on her workout routine.

1. Kettlebell Swings

Overall, Sara is committed to fitness. “I like to change things up, but ensure that I work out for an hour and a half every single day—except on Sunday because that's my day to chill,” she said, per Vogue. One of her go-to exercises is the kettlebell swing, “A power exercise for the glutes, increases strength,” explains Philadelphia-based trainer Kendra Gamble of HIT Fitness.

2. Kettlebell Squats

Squatting is a great exercise for your lower body and core. “Kettlebell squats are unique as the weight can be positioned away from your body in front of you, meaning your back also has to fire or to one side (unilaterally), requiring cross stabilization,” explains USA Iron, a company that makes kettlebells. “Every time you squat, you use hundreds upon hundreds of big and small muscles, building your strength, losing fat and gaining confidence.” Squats in general are a great move to add to your routine with a “multitude of benefits” says Gamble. They help “increase strength, size and power of quads (front part of legs), glutes (butt), hamstrings (back of legs), calves, adductors (inner thighs), tendons and ligaments, and lowers your chances of knee and ankle injuries.”

3. TRX Push Ups and Row

Sara also uses the TRX and does push ups and rows. Polish fitness trainer Anna Lewandowska explained the benefits of “TRX strap training,” in a post. “TRX is a functional training created for US special forces. Soldiers stationed at sea did not have access to gyms and specialized training tools. Exercises with bands served the purpose of taking care of fitness and endurance in a small space and without the use of additional equipment. Because of its simplicity and surprising effectiveness, TRX quickly gained worldwide recognition.TRX is also used in physiotherapy offices, especially during rehabilitation after orthopedic injuries and surgeries.” Gamble explains TRX rows are good for building strength in your back and arms and good for beginners to learn how to pull their own body weight, while doing a pushup with the TRX works the chest, anterior delt (front part of shoulder) and triceps, and is a “excellent variation for those who can’t do a normal push up off the ground and allows them to ease into push ups.”

4. Elliptical and Bike

Sara also infuses cardio into her workout. Two of her favorites are the elliptical machine and cycling on a stationary bike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

5. Mixing Up Her Workouts

Sara’s overall approach to exercise is “pretty eclectic,” she told Vogue. “It's a combination of functional training, Pilates, boxing and cardio. I like to change things up, but ensure that I work out for an hour and a half every single day—except on Sunday, because that's my day to chill.It really depends. If I've had a hard week [physically], then a Vinyasa yoga or Pilates class is a great workout. But if it's been a stressful and emotionally taxing week, there's nothing better than a 45-minute session of boxing to get the adrenalin pumping in my body.”
