Shilpa Shetty In Workout Gear Dances At the Gym: “Stay Motivated!”

Indian actress Shilpa Shetty has always radiated good humor and positivity, so of course her social media is reflective of her upbeat attitude. Shetty, 48, shared a video of herself wearing orange sneakers, black leggings, and a pink tank top, doing a traditional dance at the gym with a friend. “As long as you keep moving you will stay motivated... 💪 What are you doing to stay motivated this leap day?” she captioned the post. Here’s how the Bollywood star takes care of her health, diet, and wellness.

1. Devoted Yogi

Shetty is a life-long devotee of yoga. “Time has proven that yoga is very beneficial for skin and hair by enhancing blood circulation throughout the body,” she told MediaBrief. “Certain asanas like Shirshasan and other forward-bending asanas strengthen the hair by activating the roots. Doing Yoga brings your body into a sense of calm, lowers stress, and brings hormones into a happy & healthier balance. When you are happy on the inside, it shows on the outside, giving you a radiant glow.”

2. Health and Beauty

Shetty has a holistic approach to beauty and wellness. “A healthy diet is not only important for your hair, but also for your overall well-being,” she told iDiva. It helps you stay fit and active. I'm genetically blessed - however, I feel that more than just looking good, it's important to be fit. I can't diet and tend not to overdo it. If I'm hungry, I eat, but I don't snack between meals or indulge in desserts. This keeps things simple for me. I take good care of myself. I have six soaked almonds and walnuts as it really helps keep the hair and skin healthy. I drink plenty of water and exercise in any form, as it's an essential part of my life.”

3. Whole Foods

Shetty enjoys a balanced diet based on nutritious whole foods. “Clean eating is having food that’s not ready-made,” she told FilmFare. “Rather consume natural foods; food that’s not genetically modified. Stick to local stuff rather than items that have traveled a long way as they have preservatives.”

4. Alone Time

Shetty believes all women need time to themselves for mental health and wellness. “I have often thought that I need five days of peace. Without my husband, without children—and I am saying this very selfishly—it’s not a bad thing to be selfish sometimes,” she told FilmFare. “I am happy to talk about this. At least some discussion is happening on this topic. What no one says is that they feel that if we talk about our worth, then we will be judged.”

5. Low-Key Beauty

Shetty has a less-is-more approach to beauty. “I keep makeup as minimal as possible and ensure that I wipe my face off all traces of makeup before sleeping,” she told iDiva. “Also, I moisturize my face after taking a shower and before going to bed. My three basic rules to glowing skin are cleansing, toning and moisturizing. I am a very positive person; I stay happy through the highs and lows. I don't follow any mantra for aging as such. But there's a beauty secret that my mother shared with my sister Shamita and me, which is to never use soap on your face and that's what I have practiced till date.”

Shilpa Shetty Kundra is getting a workout in wherever she is. In a new social media post the Indian actress shows off her balancing skills. “A great Leg workout in style. Took me a couple of tries to get the whole drill, but it’s challenging and really works the quads and glutes,” she captioned the “Monday Motivation” Instagram Reel. How does the actress, 48, approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

TO keep her diet healthy, Shilpa avoids a few things. She does drink soda or eat anything with white sugar or anything fried.

4. Core Workout

In a recent post she shared her “Recipe for washboard ABS: Planks, Planks, & More Planks.” In the caption she explained that the workout actually trains “the entire body, primarily driven by the core muscles.” She recommends doing the three exercises for 15 to 20 reps and three sets. “It strengthens the core, arms, legs, shoulders, & back muscles; and builds muscular endurance,” she added. “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 20mins.”

2) Side Elbow Plank: Hip Dips

3) Elbow Plank: Hip Abduction and Adduction

5. Yoga

Shilpa also does yoga. “Asanas like Setu Bandhasana strengthen the Vishuddhi chakra (Throat chakra) that helps one voice their opinions & thoughts, and gives clarity of communication; 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,” she captioned the post. “Eat clean, lead a healthy lifestyle, and make yoga-meditation an integral part of your daily routine. Your mind and body will thank you.”

The Indian actress shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit during a recent getaway, reaping the benefits of hot springs. “Basking under the Tuscan Sun soaking in the natural thermal spring waters,” she captioned the Instagram post shared with her millions of followers. “This place is divine , also known as the holy waters, for 3000 years ,hot spring water has gushed from the centre of the earth bringing enormous health benefits to those that come in contact with it. Feel blessed and rejuvenated to experience this.”

Shipla starts her day with three eggs with sourdough or avocado toast or overnight soaked oats with almond or soy milk, pomegranate, apple, and chia seeds for breakfast. For lunch she likes legumes or seafood, rice, vegetables and half a beetroot. She often adds a teaspoon of ghee to her food to kick up the flavor.

3. She Dances

Shipla maintains that “some good music and lot of dancing” is “one of the best ways” to start her week. “Aerobics Dance is a cardiovascular exercise, which is a lot of fun as well. It conditions your heart & lungs, and burns fat when performed for 20 minutes and more. This type of aerobic activity burns fat efficiently as you have to move your arms and legs in coordination, for which the brain has to work too 🤯😅 More muscles involved means more calories burnt,” she captioned a post.

4. She Does Yoga

Shilpa regularly shares videos of her yoga practice on Instagram. “Yoga adds years to your life, and life to your years,” she wrote in one of the posts. “I read this quote a while back and it is SO true! Practicing Yoga early in the day sets the tone for the rest of my day… regardless of whether I have a packed schedule or a less hectic day.”

5. She Maintains “Consistency, Dedication, Discipline”

“Consistency, dedication, discipline, and effort are the four pillars upholding one’s goal of achieving all their dreams… including the dream of a healthy and fit body,” Shipla wrote in a post. “Modifying your daily habits and switching over to a healthy & regulated lifestyle is a must. Put in the hard work regularly and you WILL eventually see the difference. But, achieving your dream physique isn’t the end of the road. You have to be consistent to maintain it. Remember that this mantra won’t give you instant or quick results, but it’ll be absolutely worth the effort you put in over a period of time.”

1. She Enjoys Being Fit

Shakti doesn’t view exercise as a chore. “I think being fit is an indispensable ingredient for holistic well-being. Being in the business of the entertainment, fitness plays a more imperative role because there is a corporal representation to constantly cater to. I’m fit largely because I enjoy being fit, so 90 per cent free will and 10 per cent compulsion,” she told DNA India.

2. She Does Yoga

“I always find the time to exercise, I don’t really make excuses,” says Shakti. One of her favorite forms of fitness? “I like to start my day with meditation followed by yoga and then exercise. So I’ll wake up three hours prior to my call time on sets in case I’m shooting and make sure I burn those calories,” she said. She also has tricks for making sure she gets her zen on even while working. “I have a yoga mat in my vanity van,” she added.

3. She Dances

Another way she stays fit is via work. She told DNA, “it’s also important to note that dance is a great form of exercise and I’m constantly burning calories because I’m busy dancing all-day long.”

4. She Strength Trains

Shakti also hits the gym. “I generally workout every day for a minimum of 30 minutes with a 15 minute warm up and in case I have extra time then 60 minutes,” she told DNA. “My workouts include breathing exercises like Kapal Bhati, ab crunches and strength training. Breathing is crucial in dancing and so, it is an important part of my exercises.”

5. She Is Discliplined with Her Diet

“I’m pretty disciplined with my diet and I have been maintaining this routine for years now. Since childhood, I have been a very careful eater as I always stayed away from fried food,” she told DNA. Her day starts with a “heavy” breakfast including fruits, cereals, juices, and eggs. Hydration is also a priority. “I sip on a lot of water throughout the day,” she added. Lunch usually comprises of roti or brown rice, salad, tandoor, and curd. “For dinner, I have lots of steamed vegetables and soup. I prefer to stay away from packaged foods and junk during the week and I’m very conscious of the nutritional factor in the food. Indian cuisine is my favorite.”

6. Sunday Is Her Cheat Day

Shaki reserves time for indulging. “I do cheat on Sundays when I eat whatever I fancy. I’m not a foodie and I don’t believe in experimenting with food but also not completely restricting my cravings. You have one life and you have to live it, in a disciplined manner!” she said.
