Shamita Shetty In Workout Gear Says “Glad I’m Finally Training Again!”

Shamita Shetty is celebrating her return to the gym after endometriosis surgery. Shetty, 45, shared a reel of herself wearing blue leggings and a white tank top, doing gentle body resistance training exercises. “Took me a while to get back into the gym post surgery cause honestly was not allowed too but boy am I glad I’m finally training again! For me weight training has never been a chore… it’s a passion in the gym. My happy place ❤️ Fighting the laziness everyday now cause the body just got used to less strenuous physical activity but I’m sure muscle memory will make me feel like myself again ❤️ Gratitude always ❤️,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Shetty’s diet, fitness, and wellness routine looks like.

1. Fitness Fanatic

Fitness is an important part of Shetty’s life. “I feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally and this balance makes it important,” she told Women Fitness. “I know how I feel when I don’t work out for a few days, physically, it’s not a great feeling. I feel lethargic, my energy levels are low, and emotionally I don’t feel great either. Endorphins and serotonin are important for the system. There are lots of dos and don’ts. Over the years I’ve learned what works for me. It won’t necessarily work for another person because we’re all made differently physically as well as mentally.”

2. Fitness Advice

Shetty has good advice for anyone starting on their fitness journey. “Initially, when you are just about getting into the routine and when you're new to working out, it is a little difficult in the beginning to continue with that routine,” she told ABPLive. “But, you have to kind of stick to it at least for two weeks, however difficult it is. Because once that routine sets in, trust me, you're gonna miss your workout when you don't go to the gym. You just have to be patient with it. Results don't come quickly, it takes time.”

3. Weighing Her Food

Shetty is weighing her food for the first time to get to grips with portion control. “I have new trainers on board and they are keeping a closer watch on my daily calorie intake and how much protein, carbs, and fats I’m putting into my body,” she told Women Fitness. “I have always followed a gluten and dairy-free diet. Having said that, I know a lot of people do not. I’ve kind of said this so many times that although I follow a gluten and lactose-free diet, I do introduce them into my system at least once a week or once in ten days. This makes my body not completely intolerant to these two things.”

4. Hair Experiments

Shetty likes to have fun with her beauty routine. “I'm somebody who really likes to experiment with colors in my hair. Currently, I am going all red and pink in my hair,” she told ABPLive. “When I have that little time and when I'm not shooting or working on a project, then I like to experiment with color in my hair.”

5. Pizza Cheat Meal

Shetty’s all-time favorite cheat meal is thin crust pizza. “If it’s gluten-free then great otherwise, it’s the pizza. Once a week I cheat on my meals and I do it with whole wheat,” she told Women Fitness. “I like my pizza to have a thin crust. I don’t like the thick-crust ones. Another cheat meal I can think of is something in dark chocolate, like a dark chocolate pastry. The pastry, however, I keep gluten-free. These are my favorite cheat meals and I am allowed to cheat once a week.”

Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty is starting the new year with yoga and positivity. Shetty, 48, shared a video of herself wearing a pink and purple yoga outfit, posing on a teal blue mat. “I’m starting 2024 on a ‘balanced’ note with the Ashwa Sanchalana Salamba Utthita Eka Padasana, which is a great balancing asana🧘🏻‍♀️ It helps improve focus & concentration, and also enhances the coordination between mind & body. It also improves the back’s and the hamstring’s flexibility. Please note: People suffering from back pain or slip-disc and pregnant women must avoid this asana. Wishing you all a Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy New Year... My resolution for 2024 is to LIVE IN THE ‘NOW’ with awareness, balance, and gratitude,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Shetty takes care of herself, inside and out.

1. Sharing Her Ab Workouts

Shetty frequently shares her workouts on social media, including her intense ab exercise routine. “Recipe for washboard ABS: Planks, Planks, & More Planks💪,” she captioned an Instagram video. “This workout trains the entire body, primarily driven by the core muscles. Stimulate all your muscles by performing these 3 exercises for 3 sets and 15-20 reps.

1) Extended Arm Plank: Hip Extensions

2) Side Elbow Plank: Hip Dips

3) Elbow Plank: Hip Abduction and Adduction

It strengthens the core, arms, legs, shoulders, & back muscles; and builds muscular endurance.

Can be done at home with just a mat on days you are running short of time, but want to move that body as it takes only 20 mins. Caution: Do not try this if you are a beginner.”

2. Yoga and Meditation

Shetty is a long time devotee of yoga and meditation. “Asanas like Setu Bandhasana strengthen the Vishuddhi chakra (Throat chakra) that helps one voice their opinions & thoughts, and gives clarity of communication,” she captioned an Instagram video of herself doing yoga poses on a mat. “The Ardha Halasana and Navasana help strengthen the Manipuraka chakra (or Solar Plexus chakra), which determines one’s self-confidence and the ability to take action. Eat clean, lead a healthy lifestyle, and make yoga-meditation an integral part of your daily routine. Your mind and body will thank you ♥️🙏.”

3. Fitness Is Her Target

Shetty says her entire workout regimen is about health, not the “perfect” body. “I’ve never given a good figure too much importance,” she tells Complete Wellbeing. “Fitness was more my target. I went to the gym not to look good but to feel good and be fit. I worked out and I wanted to maintain a healthy body. Like Bhagavan says, [Bhagavan is the founder of the Oneness University] if you want to be successful, if you want to achieve something in life, you need to be fit. If your immunity is low, it’s not going to allow you to work as hard as you would otherwise have. It stems from this understanding.”

4. Healthy Diet With a Cheat Day

Shetty enjoys a healthy diet with one day a week for any indulgences. “I am a foodie. I love food, but I eat the right food,” she tells Complete Wellbeing. “I have a healthy diet. I keep one day in the week when I eat anything like cakes, kulfi, and gulab jamuns. My day starts with aloe vera juice. It is great for your immune system; it’s great for your skin. Then I have porridge and tea. I avoid white sugar as far as I can and have only brown sugar. My theory is to replace everything white with brown — be it brown bread, brown rice, or brown sugar. I don’t eat steamed or boiled food. I eat normal food but cooked in a healthy vegetable oil or olive oil. For lunch, I have dal rice [brown] or chapati and chicken curry and one vegetable. If I am hungry in the evening, I’ll have one brown toast with two eggs and tea and, at night, I try and eat early. I eat a salad, soup and one chicken dish. My diet is very simple. It’s easy to follow.”

5. Fitness Challenge

Shetty loves challenging herself and posting the results online. “Failure is a stepping stone to success. Keep trying, push yourself, but never give up,” she captioned a humorous Instagram video. “Today, I took up the #StandUpChallenge! It tests one’s mobility, which is the ability to move your entire body freely and normally. It encompasses muscle strength, range of motion, and endurance capacity helping you with great mobility. It took me a couple of tries (as you can see😋) but, I believe failure is funnier than success.”

Indian actress, model, and fashion designer Neha Sharma posts a lot of stunning photos on her Instagram account, and her most recent post is no exception.

1. She Uses Resistance Bands

One of the ways Sharma stays active and really works her muscles is by using a resistance band. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself doing different leg workouts, like side leg lifts, fire hydrants, and sideways walks, with a band above her knees. She captioned the reel, “You won’t always love the workout, but you will always love the result.”

2. She Strength Trains

Sharma is a big fan of strength training and using weights when she works out. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself doing quad lifts with a barbell at the gym. She captioned the reel, “Slowly but surely will get there.” “Choose a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions. When you can easily do more repetitions of a certain exercise, gradually increase the weight or resistance,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Plays With Her Dog

Sharma has an adorable little, white, fluffy dog named Joy. Having a dog is not just good for companionship, it can also be a good way to stay active. And according to this video on Instagram, Sharma likes to play and workout with Joy. In the video, the two are seen running and playing with a toy together.

4. She Works Out Her Arms

According to this workout reel from Sharma’s Instagram, the actress likes to do a lot of different arm workouts. In the video, Sharma is seen doing TRX exercises, doing bicep curls with bands, and using a shoulder press machine.

5. She Loves Yoga

Sharma is a big fan of practicing yoga, and she sometimes likes to do so with her sister, Aisha. Sharma posted this series of photos on Instagram of the two of them doing different yoga poses. She captioned the post, “Celebrating #internationalyogaday with my forever fitness bud.” “Yoga is considered one of many types of complementary and integrative medicine approaches. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines that may help you achieve peacefulness of body and mind. This can help you relax and manage stress and anxiety,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Preity Zinta is an actress, known for her work in Hindi films. Zinta has appeared in films like, Dil Se, Soldier, Heaven On Earth, and Armaan. In a recent Instagram post, Zinta decided to hit the gym. She put on a t-shirt, hoodie, and yoga pants, looking ready to sweat. Zinta captioned the photo, “Back in the Bay. Back to work.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Preity Zinta stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Yoga

Zinta shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is practice yoga. Zinta shared these photos of herself in different poses. She captioned the post, “Yoga is the best thing for your health & for your mental health. Indoors or outdoors all you need is the intent to do something for yourself to feel better & live a longer, healthier & happier life.”

2. She Does Pilates

Another thing Zinta does to stay in shape is practice Pilates. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing stretches on equipment and with the help of a trainer. Zinta captioned the post, “Travelling across continents & across India on various flights has been tough on the body. I can handle jet lag but not a stiff back. Thank god for Pilates. Nothing a good stretch cannot fix. Thank you Yas for always watching my back. Love you loads.”

3. She Works Out With Others

Zinta doesn’t always like to workout alone. She is often seen working out with a trainer or friend. Zinta shared this gym video on Instagram of herself working with someone else. She captioned the post, “Back in the Gym after a while. What better motivation than a buddy workout with my darling Su ❤️ Thank you for pushing me & thank you for doing this workout with me.”

4. She Works Her Abs

Zinta works out her entire body. Including her abs. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing core workouts. In it, Zinta is seen doing candlesticks. She captioned the post, “Back to the gym. After going out non stop for a week. It’s time to calm down & work on my core.” The Mayo Clinic states that ab and core workouts are important. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

5. She Hikes

Zinta likes to go hiking to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself and her husband after hiking Machu Picchu. Zinta captioned the photos, “Us after a 16km uphill hike on the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu 😍 Wow !!! What a view… What a hike!” The National Parks Service states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between. Check out all of these physical benefits of hiking: Building stronger muscles and bones. Improving your sense of balance. Improving your heart health. Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.”

So yes, I have been a fitness freak ever since.”

3. She Dances

Starring in the film, Jayeshbhai Jordaar meant that Pandey had to do a lot of dancing. She said in an interview that this helped her get in shape. “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film which required an immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss. So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that’s a lot of cardio which helped me a lot.”

4. She’s Passionate

Certain days I might just take my dogs for a run. The key is to stay active as much as you can that is very important and to enjoy doing so.”
