Here’s what Shetty’s diet, training, and wellness routine looks like.

1. Light Breakfast

Shetty enjoys eggs and gluten-free bread in the morning. “My breakfast is mostly gluten-free bread and maybe a boiled egg—that's my standard,” she told Bollywood Hungama. “As soon as I wake up in the morning, I have two warm glasses of water, post which I have my three walnuts, six almonds, fig and my tea - that's like the first thing I have. Post which, I have my breakfast and sometimes I even have Poha maybe from red rice.”

3. Gluten-Free Diet

Shetty enjoys rice-based lunch dishes, avoiding wheat. “My lunch is basically gluten-free roti, quinoa, or I will have brown or red rice either with some protein like fish, chicken, egg, or vegetables with a little bit moong or masoor dal,” she told Bollywood Hungama. “Sometimes, I also have gluten-free pasta, rice noodles with vegetables. Whatever food I eat, I try and keep it gluten-free. I don't eat wheat, rice is something that I eat. Whether it is noodles, I would prefer noodles made from rice.”

3. Nuts and Seeds For Snacks

Shetty avoids sugar and snacks on nuts during the day. “One thing I am very particular about is sugar intake,” she told Hindustan Times. “Sugar is like a drug; it’s difficult to give up when you have it in excess. I’m generally very aware of how much refined sugar I’m taking in, in the day. My favorite health snack is nuts. Every day I have at least a handful of a mixture of almonds, Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds. They are rich in nutrients and are a great energy boost if you are on a low-carb diet.”

4. Fitness Mantra

Shetty works out four times a week and doesn’t restrict her food. “That’s my fitness mantra,” she told Hindustan Times. “Weight training is my go-to exercise. It makes me feel good physically and emotionally. It’s the only form of exercise that lets me see visible results in my body, quickly. Also when you weight-train, it boosts your metabolism, so you end up burning more calories even when you’re not working out.”

5. Travel Workout Routine

Shetty has a workout routine especially designed for when she’s traveling. “When I’m traveling, I try and get in at least three days a week of circuit training,” she told Hindustan Times. “Which is a kind of quick aerobic workout focusing on strength and endurance. If you don’t have much time, circuit training works best.”

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.”

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is a successful actress. She recently hit the gym for a workout. She shared a video of her session on Instagram. In it, Prabhu is seen in a green t-shirt and gray pants. She captioned the post, “One day at a time.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Samantha Ruth Prabhu stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Bikes

Prabhu shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is bike ride. She will even do it when it is cloudy out. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and some others going for a ride. Prabhu captioned the post, “Riding in the rain with the best company.”

2. She Weight Trains

Prabhu likes to weight train. She shared some of her favorite workouts in this video she posted on her Instagram. In it, she is seen doing squats with a barbell, hip thrusts with a barbell, deadlifts with hand weights, and Bulgarian split squats with hand weights. Prabhu captioned the post, “Switch it up. My Thursday routine with @brahmin_bull.”

3. She Does Aerial Yoga

One thing Prabhu does to stay in shape is aerial yoga. She shares a lot of photos of herself doing it on Instagram. In this photo, Prabhu is seen upside down in the silks. She captioned the post, “Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.” Aerial yoga, like all forms of yoga, has a lot of benefits. Ace Fitness reports that a study shows that aerial yoga can help with heart health. “The study revealed that a single 50-minute session of Aerial Yoga burned an average of 320 calories and yielded cardiovascular effects in the range of low- to moderate-intensity exercise. Both of these findings suggest Aerial Yoga is an effective form of exercise for promoting good health. After the six-week long Aerial Yoga program, participants experienced significant improvements in several health risk factors such as body weight, body-fat percentage and blood pressure. The combined improvements in these risk factors suggest that participants reduced their risk for a cardiovascular heart disease event, such as a heart attack, by approximately 10 percent over the course of the six-week intervention.”

4. She Works Out Without Equipment

Prabhu likes to hit the gym or go outside to workout. But that’s not the only way she does so. Prabhu also does equipment free exercises. In this video she posted on Instagram, she’s seen doing an equipment free fitness challenge. She captioned the post, “Kickstart your 2022 with this no equipment 'level- up’ challenge and feel the BURN 🤓🔥When my trainer @junaid.shaikh88 challenges me.. I challenge you 😜 .. let’s do it #levelupchallenge.”

5. She Works With A Trainer

As she wrote in the previous post’s caption, Prabhu works with a trainer to help herself stay in shape. Ace Fitness states that having a trainer has a lot of benefits. “Fitness can be confusing. There is a lot of information to sort through. Eat this, not that. Cardio before or after strength training? Your trainer can help you find credible information and provide direction on your fitness journey. A trainer can help remove the guesswork so you can put all your energy toward accomplishing your goals.”

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.”
