Yoga Influencer Cat Meffan Shows Off Amazing Body in "Full Body Reset"

Indian actress Malaika Arora recently opened her own yoga studio and based on her social media updates, is well qualified for the job. Arora, 50, shared a video of herself wearing purple shorts and a black sports bra, doing a full Vinyasa yoga workout on a mat. “Yoga is not just a workout …. It’s a way of life for me 🧘‍♀️. #powervinyasaflow @thedivayoga,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Arora lives her best, healthiest, and happiest life.

1. Yoga By Malaika

Arora is thrilled to open her own yoga studio, something is deeply passionate about. “I was introduced to yoga years ago when I suffered an injury, and since then my love affair with it has only become stronger,” she told Elle India. “So when the opportunity to be a part of Diva Yoga came my way, I jumped at it. It’s in sync with my beliefs about fitness, my love for yoga, and more importantly, I’ve always wanted to create a yoga studio that was dedicated to women.”

2. Weight Training and Pilates

Arora works out every day, mixing up yoga, weight training, and Pilates. “I make it a point to practice yoga every day; if not at the studio then a quick 20-minute routine at home,” she told Elle India. “Just practicing a few basic asanas every morning can really make a difference to the rest of my day. Besides that, I do some Pilates and weight training through the week to build strength, to train the mind and lengthen the body. I really wish I could be more outdoorsy, but I don’t enjoy running because I find it very hard on my knees. I do try to fit in a swim when I’m traveling.”

3. DIY Skin and Hair Treatments

Arora freezes papaya, potato and tomato into ice cubes and uses them as a cold face treatment. She also makes hair masks out of egg, coconut oil, and banana. “During COVID, I started experimenting and using natural products and I was using coconut oil on my hair once a week,” celebrity extensionist Priscilla Valles told Vogue. “The hydration and shine it provides is beyond amazing.”

4. Relaxation Activities

Arora likes to wind down and relax with massages, or cleaning her house. “Massage therapy is safe and effective for people of all ages,” massage therapist Ivy Conrad, M.S.S.G.-L., tells the Mayo Clinic. “It's not only a feel-good way to indulge or pamper yourself. It's a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being, whether you have a specific health condition or are looking for a stress reliever.”

5. Fitness Encouragement For Newbies

Arora has good advice for anyone starting out on their fitness journey. “The fact that you’ve begun is the best thing,” she told Elle India. “You have got to push your mind, stay dedicated and look at your routine as a slow transformation, to stay on track. Don’t treat your workout like a quick-fix, it’s something that should be a part of your lifestyle if you want to reap its benefits. Creating your own fitness routine should be like getting into a long-term relationship.”

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.”

2. Moody Day Workouts

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!”

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez swears by regular yoga sessions for optimum health and wellness—although sometimes her practice gets gatecrashed by a four-legged friend. Fernandez, 38, shared pictures of herself wearing a blue yoga outfit, posing on a pink mat with her beloved kitty next to her. “Apart from my cat giving me attitude it was a great yoga session! #wellnesswarrior,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Fernandez’s diet, wellness, and fitness regimen looks like.

1. Morning Routine

Fernandez starts her day with a drink made of warm water, lime, and honey. “My mornings are incomplete without fruits, as they give good sugars and carbs to kickstart the day,” she told iDiva. “And I include some form of eggs; boiled or scrambled. My lunch is light and vegan with salads, brown rice and lentils. When I eat healthy and light, I feel happy. For dinner, it's fish and grilled veggies. I like to have some protein at night as the body goes into repair mode.”

2. Health Mantra

Fernandez’ has a straightforward, common-sense approach to health and wellness. “My fitness mantra is quite simple—eat right, sleep right, and exercise regularly,” she told Verve Magazine. “I ensure that I maintain a healthy diet, get adequate sleep and stay positive and relaxed. When it comes to fitness, I prefer to focus on flexibility, stamina and strength. I build my stamina through cardio exercises, pole exercises and stretching exercises for flexibility. I only eat fresh, healthy, and nutrient-rich foods. And when I cannot hit the gym, I dance to stay active.”

3. She Loves Yoga

Fernandez loves the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga. “After years of struggling with exercise ruts, I figured yoga was the ideal fix,” she told iDiva. “I discovered it when I came to India four years ago. Now, I have a personal yoga instructor and I do yoga an hour a day, five days a week. It's something I always look forward to. It relaxes me and doesn't stress my body out. That's my idea of fitness. Doing something that comes to you naturally.”

4. Skincare Musts

Fernandez stays hydrated both for health and beauty, as her skin tends to suffer when she doesn’t drink enough water. “I’ve had a history of bad skin, so I understand that skin needs high maintenance care,” she told ELLE. “I would say drink lots of water – I have an app on my phone that reminds me to stay hydrated all day. Keep a moisturizer, cleanser and sunscreen on you at all times. I also use a Vitamin C eye roll-on – I feel it really helps!”

5. Exercise On the Road

Fernandez keeps up with her workout routine no matter where she is. “Since I’m always traveling for work, I do have a no-gym-workout plan,” she told Verve Magazine. “From my own personal go-to exercise regimes, I’d recommend stretching exercises, and dancing, as those are easy and doable while traveling. Meditation is particularly helpful when it comes to centering one’s mind and body, and allows me to channelize my energy towards my personal and professional growth.”

Senada Greca is unveiling her full-body workout – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post the fitness expert shows off her insanely fit figure while working out in the gym. “Full Body Workout - total body, every muscle burner!” she captioned the post. “Another goodie from my Workout Programs.” Her followers went wild. “Beast mode on,” commented one. “You move with such intention. Always great form!” added another. What does her full-body workout entail and what other health habits keep her in shape? Celebwell has the details.

1. Enjoying Exercise

Senada is a “sincere believer that fitness and movement should be an inseparable part of someone’s life,” she told Glamour South Africa. “We were born to be active, born to be mobile. She encourages “people to make movement fun and interesting, and in turn sustainable. All someone needs to do is take a digital stroll through my Instagram to see loads of novelty and get excited to try out new effective exercises.” Doing the same workout daily is what makes “people fall off the proverbial wagon” and that they instead should “constantly seek growth,” she continues. “This means doing things like trying new movements that push us out of our comfort zone, finding a new recipe that is not typical to what we normally eat, and changing our routine.”

2. Yoga

Senada is all about yoga. “I believe in a holistic approach to fitness as we are more than a mechanically moving body. Our minds and souls need as much caring as our bodies. I have found that caring for our body in a mindful way, cares for our mind and soul as well. Allowing ourselves to listen to our body’s signals, moving mindfully, not only can be a great tool in injury prevention, but also maximizing our physical and mental performance,” Senada told Women’s Best. She incorporates Yoga into her routine “not only as a means to help with my balance and mobility, which in turn help with my physical fitness, but also as a time to quiet my mind and turn my attention inward,” she says.

3. Meditation

Senada also gets her zen on. “Meditation is that other component that we rarely think of or make time for, but even a few minutes, as little as 5 minutes of meditation a day, can have a huge positive impact on our psyche and in turn our body as well. If we’re in a great mental and spiritual space, we’re able to perform better in all aspects of life.” “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Lowering resting heart rate
• Lowering resting blood pressure
• Improving sleep quality

4. “Flexible” Eating

Senada is a “flexible eater,” she tells Glamour. “My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track. I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

5. Proper Form

Senada prioritizes form over speed. “I am always mindful of proper form. Never NOT think about form during a workout,” Senada told Glamour. “Whether the exercise has started or you are setting yourself up for the exercise, always remember proper form.”

6. Breaking Up Workouts by Body Part

Senada recommends breaking up workouts by body part. “I like to focus on legs 2-3 days per week, on upper body 2 days, and 1 full body workout per week. Sunday I work abs and throw in some fun active-rest work, like bicycling or a long walk,” she told Glamour.

7. Here Is Her Full Body Workout

Senada recommends doing 8 to 12 reps and 4 rounds of the following exercises:

1. Lateral lunge swings
2. 2 DB single arm curl with reverse lunge
3. RDL to clean squat press
4. Push up to hollow body alt knee tucks
5. Bear stance rows
6. Hollow body triceps extensions
