Nia Sharma in Workout Gear Shares Squat Workout

Nia Sharma is sharing the secret to her glutes: weighted squats. In a new social media post the Indian actress gets her sweat on, showing off her amazing body during a vigorous workout routine. In the Instagram Stories clip shared with her 7.7 million followers, she demonstrates the glute-busting exercise to perfection. What other exercise methods help keep the star looking camera ready? Celebwell has the details on her top diet and fitness habits.

1. Pole Dancing

Nia takes pole dancing classes. “It’s such a Fancy being on a pole … except the body ache it brings along😅 … @lipsa893 you gotta make me a pro..and thanks a lot for this fun session. I am your no.1 student always:)” she captioned this post. Why should you dance? It helps build strength and promote flexibility, and also aids in weight loss and promotes heart health. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

2. Yoga

Nia is a yogi. Harvard Health maintains that there is science behind the practice. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

3. Hiking

Nia loves trekking. “Trekked Right upto the Peak.. (without a 🚁) #chandrashila #tungnathtrek,” she captioned a series of Instagram photos and videos.

4. Weight Lifting

“Wasn’t the one to ever enter a gym but once you do, it kind of sucks you in,” Nia captioned a post of herself weightlifting. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

5. Baths

Nia enjoys the stress-relieving perks of baths, which have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

Drashti Dhami shares a lot of workout videos on her Instagram. Even though she’s expecting her first child, she’s still hitting the gym. One thing she is doing is lifting dumbbells. Dhami shared a video recently of herself doing shoulder presses. She captioned the post, “Disclaimer : Do not try this at home or anywhere else without your doctors/trainers supervision.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Drashti Dhami stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Strength Trains

As you can see from her Instagram post, Dhami likes to strength train to stay in shape. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training has a lot of benefits. “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. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

2. She Does Squats

Dhami likes to do squats to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself in the gym on Instagram. In it, Dhami is seen doing squats and lunge squats. She captioned the post, “Cooking up a baby🤰& some serious gains at the gym🏋️‍♀️ Don’t worry I have got a doctor’s note for these reps. #MomBodInProgess. Disclaimer : Do not try this at home or anywhere else without your doctors/trainers supervision.”

3. She Does Burpees

Dhami likes to do burpees to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this video on her Instagram with her friends. ACE Fitness reports that since burpees are a compound exercise, they have cardiovascular benefits. “The purpose of cardiovascular exercise is to improve the ability of the heart to function as a pump. This can be accomplished through activities such as running and cycling, or by doing exercises that involve a significant amount of muscle tissue. Sitting in a leg-extension machine doing knee extensions or performing biceps curls with dumbbells uses only a limited amount of muscle tissue; these exercises are more appropriate for focusing on isolated strength. Squats to shoulder presses, medicine ball chops or burpees are all examples of compound exercises that involve large amounts of muscle tissue, which challenges the heart to pump blood to keep the muscles fueled and active.”

4. She Boxes

Dhami likes to box to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself boxing with a trainer. Dhami captioned the post, “ℕ𝕠𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕘𝕦𝕝𝕒𝕣 𝔹𝔸ℝ𝔹𝕀𝔼. What a session with @tridevpandey. Thank you sir 🫡” According to Southern Colorado FCA, boxing has a lot of benefits. “Saving the best for last is the core strength that boxing will develop. Many sports do a poor job of developing a strong core that is vital to an athletes overall performance. A weak core can create all kinds of problems - from back pain, lack of balance, poor movement, a weak stance, etc. A weak core can also contribute to other muscles working over time to compensate for an underdeveloped core. The typical high school athlete spends roughly 8 hours a day sitting - most likely sitting in poor posture. An athlete's core is often an afterthought needing intentional attention to be developed. Boxing provides a great focused core workout without all the crunches. Core development comes from maintaining a strong stance, delivering punches on a heavy bag, shadow boxing, and more. “

5. She Does Lunges

Dhami doesn’t skip leg day. One thing she likes to do is lunges. In this video, she is seen doing side lunges at the gym. Dhami captioned the post, “Workout your glutes and legs (bigger muscle groups) for more calorie burn. Here I am doing the strength version for beginner to early intermediates. Where was @coach.Urmi is demonstrating the plyometric versions for late intermediate to advanced students.”

Sara Ali Khan is getting her sweat on in a sports bra and leggings. In one of her latest social media posts the Indian actress shows off her incredible body – flat abs included – during a rigorous workout session. What does her workout entail and what are some of the other things she does to stay in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her approach to health and wellness.

1. Daily Workouts

Sara works out almost every day. “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.

2. Burpees

Next up burpees. A burpee basically involves doing a push up and then jumping up into the air. They can be done on the ground but many people opt to use an exercise bench or chair, says Gamble.

3. Pilates

Sara calls Pilates “the backbone” of her fitness. “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," she added to Vogue.

4. Mixing Things Up

Sara keeps her workouts interesting. “It's pretty eclectic; 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,” she told Vogue.

5. Cardio

Sara starts her workout on the treadmill. Sara “began working out” when she was in New York and focused on doing cardio. “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,” she told Vogue India.

6. Squats

After walking, she does weighted squats. Squats in general are a great move to add to your routine with a “multitude of benefits” explains Kendra Gamble of HIT Fitness. 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.”

Gauri Nalawade is an extremely successful actress. She’s best known for her roles in Tarri, Adham, and Godavari. Nalawade is ready for the summer, and her recent Instagram post proves it. She shared a photo of herself in the pool. Nalawade wore a red swimsuit, looking stunning. She captioned the post, “This post is a reminder to put on your sunscreen.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gauri Nalawade stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Swims

As you can see from her recent Instagram post, Nalawade loves to swim to stay in shape. Spending time in the water has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “With the increased ease of exercise in water, people often can tolerate longer exercise sessions. As a result, these sessions can be more intense, with larger ranges of motion. You should be aware of the potential of overstressing your body. You may be more fatigued than you were expecting following an aquatic exercise session.”

2. She Weight Trains

Nalawade likes to weight train to stay in shape. In this workout video she posted on Instagram, she is seen throwing a weighted ball. Weight and strength training has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training is good for your bones. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.”

3. She Does Squats

Nalawade likes to do squats to stay in shape. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen doing a squat whenever she catches the weighted ball. Squats are a great exercise. Allina Health recommends doing squats regularly. “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. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move. Rest at least one day to allow muscle recovery.”

4. She Bikes

Nalawade shared this video of herself doing workouts on Instagram. In it, she is seen riding a stationary bike. She captioned the post, “Be stronger than your excuse.” PennState PRO Wellness states that using a stationary bike has a lot of benefits. “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

5. She Does Burpees

In the previous Instagram video, Nalawade is seen doing burpees. Burpees are a great exercise to keep someone in shape. The Cleveland Clinic reports, “Burpees are brutally efficient as a workout tool, meshing cardio and strength training into an extremely high-intensity package. In seven simple movements, the exercise works your body from top to bottom. It’s a continuous-movement activity that uses the full musculature of your body.”
