Caption- Malaika recommended these four exercises for three sets.
Malaika Arora is often hailed as one of Bollywood’s fittest celebrities. Her dedication to fitness is no secret, with yoga asanas playing a crucial role in her workout routine. Malaika’s yoga trainer Sarvesh Shashi recently shared a throwback video of her dressed in a blue sports bralette and black cycling shorts, performing an intense plank position.
In the video, Malaika focuses on strengthening her core muscles through a challenging exercise. Using a chair for support, Malaika starts by taking a high plank position with both legs placed in the middle of the chair seat and both elbows on the ground. She transitions slowly into a side plank position, balancing on one elbow and leg, while extending her other leg at a 45-degree angle. She holds the pose for a few seconds, then returns to the starting position and repeats the sequence on the other side.
Just a few days ago, Malaika offered a glimpse into her regimen for maintaining a toned waist through a deep core workout. Using just a single dumbbell, Malaika showed a series of exercises aimed at strengthening the core and pelvic floor muscles. In the first exercise, Malaika rotates the dumbbell around her waist, passing it from one hand to the other. Next, she raised the dumbbell above her head while lifting each leg towards her chest individually. In another exercise, she brought the dumbbell to her chest, bent her right leg, and extended her left leg straight. Lastly, she brings the dumbbell to her chest using her arms along with one leg.
Malaika recommended performing these four exercises for three sets, lasting 40 seconds per set, followed by a 20-second rest. This routine can be easily done at the gym, at home, or while travelling.
In another video, Malaika demonstrated how she manages lower back pain issues. She performed the cat-cow (Hatha) yoga asana in stylish athleisure wear. Malaika positioned her knees below her hips and hands shoulder-width apart.
During the exhale, she contracted her abdomen, arched her spine, and lowered her head and pelvis like a cat. On the inhale, she deeply curved her lower back, raised her head, and tilted her pelvis upward like a cow.
