1. This is How She Got Into Fitness

“For me, it all started in New York. I weighed 96kg and had a year to go before I graduated. The transition from pizza to salad and from lethargy to cardio is how I kickstarted my fitness journey. 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,” she told Vogue.

“The main thing for me is to get any form of workout at least six times a week,” she has said. “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,” Sara Ali Khan told Vogue.

Sara Ali Khan has talked about having PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) on Koffee With Karan. “I was 96 kgs. Actually, I had PCOS. I still do. And, because of that, I think I put on the amount of weight that I did. Because of that, there was also a hormone problem.” Other celebrities—from Leah Michele to Victoria Beckham—have had PCOS, and so has celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels. “PCOS – short for polycystic ovarian syndrome is a health condition that affects 1 in 10 women. Literally, it's the development of small fluid filled sacs or ‘cysts’ in the ovaries and it’s caused by a hormone imbalance. Too much androgenic hormones (testosterone, DHEA) and not enough estrogen. PCOS is also linked to insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes,” she once wrote. “Therefore, in my opinion, when it comes to PCOS the key is to look for the reasons your hormones are out of whack in the first place and address that! The top reasons are as follows –" bad "food and way too much of it. Not enough exercise.”

There is no shortcut to it,” she said in an interview, per Her Zindagi. “For me, the most functional way to deal with PCOS is to eat healthy, sleep in a regimented way- try to regularize your body clock and to get in a certain about of work out every day if you can so that your hormone levels remain stable.” She explained to the Hindustan Times that one day she made a commitment to fitness. “I remember saying ‘you know what I am going to do it’ and I went to the gym and did 3 crunches with a weighted ball in my hand and I couldn’t do more because I was heavy and I was not fit. I left the gym and came home and said that ‘you know what, I don’t know if I can do this. Maybe I can’t',” she said. “I woke up the next day and went back to the gym and did 4 crunches, and then I did 5 and then I did 6 and I really don’t need to boast but I am down for a crunch challenge right now. I did a lot of abs this morning.”

2. She Started with “Cardio Heavy” Workouts

Sara started with a lot of cardio. “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.

3. She Attributes Her Strong Core to Pilates

“Pilates is definitely the backbone of my 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. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

When it comes to her exercise method, Sara likes to mix it up. “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.
