What Shilpa Shetty Wants You To Know About Health And Fitness: 'It's A Balance'

The reason that actor Shilpa Shetty manages to look this great is that she has found the balance between health, fitness, diet and rest.

Shilpa Shetty fitness and health: Shilpa Shetty continues to maintain a healthy and fit body at the age of 49, thanks to her dedicated exercise routine. The actor’s fitness and wellness regimen includes regular Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga, eating a balanced diet, doing a combination of cardio, strength training and Pilates regularly, meditation and deep breathing exercises, sleeping for 7-8 hours, staying hydrated, relaxation with self-care, and of course, a lot of self-love. Not only does she love doing all this, Shetty also enjoys sharing her routine with her fans and followers on social media, where she is very active.

Every now and then, the actor floats a video in which she talks about the importance of health, and how big of a role physical fitness plays in it. According to her, one must employ a holistic approach that focuses on nourishing the body, mind and spirit, in order to stay disease-free.

Recently, Shetty posted another video on Instagram, in which she shared some nuggets of wisdom, as to what constitutes a healthy body. “Discipline is the ultimate motivation. Consistency in keeping that discipline is the key to opening the doors to excellence,” she wrote in the caption alongside the video. Take a look here.

The mother-of-two was seen doing some exercises while sharing her knowledge with the world. “What is health? It is a relationship between you and your body,” the actor said while working out in her gym. She added that health is about finding that ‘sweet spot’. “…it is a balance between how much you eat and how you move.”

While gently doing some leg and balancing exercises — in which she folded her elbows and placed her arms on top of each other — Shetty urged her followers to not follow diets, but instead nourish their bodies with healthy foods.

She also suggested creating healthy habits, instead of imposing restrictions on yourself. Many people tend to follow punishing diets that stop them from eating certain foods. While everything should be consumed in moderation, one can eat all kinds of foods if they manage to develop healthy habits, such as exercising every day.

In the video, Shetty displayed her leg strength by lifting her legs with weights placed on them.

“Eat in awareness,” she said, asking people to consume their meals in a mindful manner, without distractions.

Finally, she said that the mantra is ‘discipline over motivation’. “Your health is in your hands; don’t just wish for health. Go work for it.” Often, when one feels demotivated, they must still push themselves to work out. It need not be a strenuous routine, but one simply has to move.
