Malaika Arora's Minimalistic Workout Routine In The Morning Looks Like This…
The actor and model loves working out in the morning and never misses a session. She has truly been setting fitness goals at the age of 50!
Malaika Arora fitness routine: It is no secret that Malaika Arora is one of the fittest celebrities out there, who works out on a regular basis to stay in top shape and defy her age. The 50-year-old’s go-to exercise routine has usually been yoga and Pilates, and she never misses a day to work out. From flitting in and out of her yoga studio to finding the means to exercise at home, Malaika does it all, and is able to prioritise her overall well-being, including her hair and skin. Recently, her trainer Jahnavi Patwardhan posted a video, in which the mother-of-one was seen doing some unique exercises in the morning with very little equipment. She employed all of her muscles, but mostly relied on her legs to strengthen and tone them. Take a look.
The caption accompanying the video read, “Best mornings, with the best moves.”
In the video, the actor and model was seen running lightly inside her workout studio, with an elastic resistance band attached to both her legs. The band was placed slightly above her knees and it restricted her movement. Adorably, she was accompanied by her pet pupper, Casper, who watched her keenly.
Malaika also managed to work out with dumbbells, while having the band firmly around her thigh muscles. During one exercise, she squatted before pushing one leg backwards and then bringing it in place. In the next exercise, she squatted and bent real low with a dumbbell only to stretch her body and flatten her chest by standing on her toes and raising her arms that held the dumbbell.
In another instance, she had the resistance band around her ankles as she stretched one leg sideways, repeatedly, and raised her arms over her head. She set real fitness goals.
Working Out With Resistance Band
Working out with a resistance band attached to both legs can provide several benefits, including:
- Improved strength: It targets multiple leg muscles, such as quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, and builds strength and endurance.
- Increased flexibility: It can improve range of motion and flexibility in the hips, knees, and ankles.
- Stability and balance: It engages core muscles and improves balance and stability.
- Low-impact: It is gentle on the joints, making it an excellent option for those with joint issues or chronic pain.
- Portability and convenience: Resistance bands are lightweight, easy to use, and can be carried anywhere.
- Improved muscle use: It engages smaller muscles and improves overall muscle use and coordination.
Some effective exercises to try with a resistance band include: banded squats, banded lunges, banded leg press, banded side steps, banded glute bridges, etc. Keep in mind that if you are a beginner, you must start with lighter resistance levels and gradually increase as you build strength and comfort with these kinds of exercises.
