Nargis Fakhri’s Fit Tip
We asked Nargis about her fitness mantra, seeing what great shape she was in during the stunts of her latest Hollywood movie, Spy. “Move your butt, walk 10,000 steps, drink 2-3 liters of water every day and eat more veggies. It's that simple,” recommends Nargis. Her fitness mantra is to have lot of fun while working out. So if you find the gym boring, try Zumba, dance or any sport.

Be Your Own Master like Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar believes in staying fit the natural way. He is fond of outdoor activities like Parkour, functional training or martial arts. According to him, fitness is not about having a bulky body with biceps or abs. It is more important to eat right and exercise regularly. He follows a strict routine, doesn’t drink or party and suggests that your last meal of the day should be around 6:30-7pm (before sunset) as your body needs at least three to four hours to digest the food before you hit the bed.
Eat Right like Alia Bhatt
The young and petite Alia Bhatt focuses on eating properly. “My only mantra is to eat healthy and properly. The most important is to feed yourself right kind of nutrition, right rest and you have to feel internally happy. What will be the point of working out if I will be sitting down and doing nothing? You have to feel internally happy and positive,” Alia shared at recent book launch.
Take to Pilates and Swimming like Sonam Kapoor
There’s much buzz about Pilates recently. It is a form of exercise inspired by Yoga which helps in building your core muscles for better posture, flexibility and balance. It focuses on muscular strength and endurance movements. Pilates sessions involve the use of props like mini ball, foam roller, magic circle (ring) and resistance bands that make them fun and challenging at the same time. Sonam switches to high-intensity cardio, jogging and swimming to break the monotony.
In one of her interviews, her trainer, Radhika Karle, shares that she does pilates three times a week. She took 45-minute sessions every evening while shooting for her movie Khoobsurat and also travelled with a Pilates Reformer, an kind of equipment used for a full body integration workout. She is known to have followed an ovo-vegetarian diet where one emphasizes on eggs for protein and excludes dairy and meat. Plug them in your daily routine and you'll never have to worry about diet fails.
We asked Sonam Kapoor's trainer, Radhika Karle, to share some diet tips. She has over ten years of work experience in the field of fitness as a nutritionist, personal trainer, yoga and Pilates instructor.
Expert Advice
1. Don’t skip meals. Ensure you eat every 2 to 3 hours. This is the easiest and most effective way to increase your metabolism.
2. Eat before the hunger pangs start. Don’t wait till you are hungry. If you wait until you are hungry you will eat double the recommended amount.
3. Eat until your stomach is half full. Take at least a minimum of 20 minutes to eat your meal. Eat slowly and without distractions. A fruit and whey protein are best options post workouts.
4. Drink enough water. Staying hydrated is most important to keep energy levels up and helps flush toxins out of your system.
5. Ensure you eat a proper meal within 60-70 minutes of exercising. This should not be anything that is high in fiber or fat as that will cause the food to sit longer in your system.
