Mandira often shares workout videos from her gym session on Instagram. Are you, too, wondering what keeps her this fit and fab? Read on to know about her exercise regime and diet plan.
Talking about how she manages to keep fit when on a vacation, Mandira recently told a leading daily that she travels a lot, so she has curated exercises to workout in hotel rooms with minimal space. “I call it the 5-4-3-2-1, comprising many different kinds of exercises, depending on my mood and energy levels. For instance, five-minute squats, four-minute jumping jacks, three-minute glute bridges (on heels, toes up), two-minute double crunches (abs), one-minute full burpee (with push-ups) — 15 minutes for the complete set. Repeat three times without a break, and bam, a full and complete 45-minute workout is done!”
She revealed how she manages when her hotel doesn’t have a gym, “With my various travels, I sometimes end up at hotels that don’t have a gym. In those cases I put on my running shoes and run, wherever my shoes and music take me. A good run will get my heart rate pumping and I break out into a serious sweat. That’s when I feel truly exercised.”
And of course, diet is just as important in fitness. The actress said, “When it comes to food, I’ll eat anything vegetarian. I load up on paneer, soya, moong sprouts, eggs, yogurt and almond milk for protein. I enjoy food almost as much as I enjoy working out. I have a massive sweet tooth and the only way to keep a check on that is to give up sweets for a period of time at a stretch. I do this only because, when it comes to sweets, I know no moderation. Sunday is the day when I commit ‘carbicide’! With dosas, kadi-chawal and toast. I love nuts, makhana, puffed rice, cheese and popcorn. I eat plenty of fruits like kiwi and strawberry, which are full of antioxidants. I love green tea. If there is one unhealthy item on my list, it would have to be the high levels of caffeine in the few cups of coffee I consume every day!”
