Shehnaaz Gill In Workout Gear Shares “My Most Requested Video”

Indian actress Sara Ali Khan is giving her 45 million Instagram followers a look at what a typical core workout looks like. Khan, 28, shared a video of herself wearing green shorts and a sports bra, doing slow, controlled abdominal exercises on a Pilates reformer machine. “Start your day right, hold your core tight. I shall invest in some more gym wear soon! Till then I’m more than happy in my green,” reads the text over her post. Khan famously lost almost 90 pounds through diet and exercise—here’s how the star keeps it off and focuses on her health.

1. Her Fitness Goals

Khan changes up her fitness goals depending on her work—for example, having to look a certain way for a certain role. “But my fitness endeavor started before the realization that I wanted to become an actor,” she told Elle India. “My fitness goal is to wake up every morning and get in at least an hour of some form of exercise so I am a stronger and happier version of myself. I think the hormones that one has going after a good workout and just the feeling of satisfaction and conviction in yourself after a good workout is irreplaceable. That feel-good-serotonin that just rushes through your body is my goal.”

Khan does specific workouts to lift her mood when she needs a boost. “Usually a swim or a boxing session helps,” she told Elle India. “But if it's an extremely low day, and then I think a piece of chocolate that guilts me into working out even harder the next day keeps me going.”

3. 90-Pound Weight Loss

Khan lost almost 90 pounds and transformed her life. “My weight loss journey has been a profound learning experience, unveiling crucial insights into wellness and self-care,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “The massive impact nutrition has on overall fitness has been my key takeaway from my journey. It is rightly said beauty truly begins in the kitchen. I have come to appreciate the nourishing power of natural ingredients for nurturing my skin from within.”

4. Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Care

Khan has a holistic approach to health and beauty. “I think beauty tips are very subjective because it depends on how comfortable you are with the products you use,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “But for me a couple of these things are essential on a daily routine basis – a good, nourishing shower gel with skin conditioners, an effective sunscreen and lots of water throughout the day. I usually keep an hour in the day to meditate or practice yoga which also lets me unwind and relax.”

5. Her Fitness Advice

Khan has good advice for fitness beginners. “Don’t get disappointed if you don’t see immediate results, anything worth it takes time,” she told Elle India. “Look good, feel good, work harder—I work out better when I look better so dress for yourself in the gym. Set a weekly target for yourself with a reward system, so you can keep going. Working out is just half the battle, eating right is as important. Change up your routine; body, mind and souls enjoy variation in workout!”

4. Her Diet Is Health

For breakfast Tamannaah eats a muesli bowl, with granola, dates, almond milk, nuts, berries and bananas in it or poached eggs or an omelet loaded with veggies. For lunch, Bhatia opts for a simple meal of daal, brown rice, and vegetables. “I’m a big foodie, everyone at home loves to spoil me silly with quality food. I believe in eating everything in moderation and crash diets are a big no-no. I don’t resist eating, because it’s a natural stimulation. In case I consume extra calories, I work out more rigorously at the gym,” she says. ​​“I snack on nuts before my workout, and for dinner it is eggs, idli or dosa. I need to have yoghurt in every meal, as it helps me stay focused during long shoots, especially in summers.

5. She Hydrates

Tamannaah also understands the importance of hydration. “I’m also big on being hydrated at all times, so loads of juices, soups and of course, three liters of water,” she says. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Khan tells Vogue that she actually enjoys working out. Therefore, it’s easy for her to get some exercise in on a regular basis. “I feel my most beautiful right after a workout. I think that I feel emotionally, mentally and physically healthiest. I just feel happy, positive, rejuvenated, energised, hence beautiful.” "Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn," says the Mayo Clinic. "Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none at all."

2. She Loves Cardio

Khan tells Vogue that she does a lot of cardio workouts. She says that these types of exercises helped her lose weight when she started getting into fitness. “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.”

3. She Loves Pilates

Khan tells Vogue that Pilates is both her favorite and her most important part of her fitness routine. “Pilates is definitely the backbone of my fitness,” says Khan. “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.”

4. She Edits Her Workout Playlists

Khan tells Vogue that she loves to listen to music when she works out. However, she sometimes likes to edit the songs she uses. “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.”

5. She’s True To Herself

In this interview with Vogue, Khan revealed the best advice her mother gave her. She said that her mother encouraged her to stay true to herself at all times. “I feel the best [one] she has given me is to be yourself. The world that we live in, [it] has no place [for you] to be anybody else. You should just be proud of who you are, discover who you are, and continue to just be who you are always.”

Bollywood star Disha Patani is showing fans and followers exactly how she uses the weight room at the gym to get her enviably strong and toned physique. Patani, 31, shared a video of herself wearing purple shorts and a cream hoodie, doing barbell squats (and making it look easy). “Leg day,” she captioned the post. “Inspirational,” a fan commented. Patani’s video is a great example of how important weights are for women—here’s how the actress eats, trains, and lives to be her fittest self.

1. Weight Training and Cardio

Patani works out with trainer Rajendra Dhole. “Disha by far is the most dedicated person you will meet when it comes to fitness. She trains every day for an hour. The only day she takes an off is a Sunday,” Dhole told Vogue India. “Disha does squats, deadlifts, military presses, shoulder presses, chest presses, bicep curls, tricep extensions, to boost muscle strength for her arms. Low reps with heavy weights builds muscle mass, as compared to doing more reps with lighter weights, which increases muscle endurance.”

2. Her Fittest Self

Patani mixes up her workouts so she doesn’t get bored, and she isn’t afraid of weights. “I work out every day and my routine usually involves cardio in the mornings, like dancing, kick boxing or gymnastics, and weight training in the evenings," Patani told Vogue India. “The general assumption is that women working out involves cardio, not weight training. But we all work out and do heavy weights; I come across so many girls in the gym training really hard. At the end of the day, it isn't about gender, but about working on your body and becoming your fittest self."

3. Personal Style

Patani’s style is all about what’s comfortable and unique. “I am not really into labels or brands, what’s important is how you style it,” she told Elle India. “I prefer simple and easy-to-wear clothes. To sum it up, my personal style is comfortable, sexy and sporty. I like things that are close to my heart. For instance, the evil eye bracelet I wear on my hand.”

4. Eggs Before Exercise

Patani tries to get some protein in her before a workout. “I have fallen into this bad habit where I don't eat anything in the mornings before working out, because I feel very full while exercising if I do,” she told Vogue India. “But, it is definitely advisable to cram in a small meal before a workout, consisting of some protein, like eggs. After exercising, it is good to add protein again, either through chicken, eggs or paneer.”

5. Abs-olutely Fabulous

So how does Patani get those enviable abs? “There is no secret as such,” she told Vogue India. “It's all about an intensive ab workout and a strict diet. Maintaining abs is the most difficult thing as one day you have them and the next day they may disappear. So I strongly believe a rigorous workout and a healthy diet are the only ways to maintain abs.”
