How did Bhumi Pednekar loss weight?
She emphasised the importance of mixing up her workout routine, which included Pilates, running, strength training, and weightlifting. Bhumi said she started her day with running, followed by a nutritious breakfast with nuts and fruits, and dedicated an hour to exercise daily. She also prioritised completing 7,000-8,000 steps per day to stay active.
Vogue India quoted Bhumi as saying, “I’ve lost over 35kg, after gaining 30kg for a film. Since then, it’s been a constant process of improvement — but I didn’t do it by starving myself. I work really hard; it’s become an active part of my routine. I like to mix it up — Pilates, running, strength and weight training… running regularly and light exercises along with a balanced diet will help keep you active. Hence, I start my day with running followed by a healthy breakfast including foods like nuts, fruits that help maintain my energy levels and give me the boost of nutrition I need to go about my day. And during the afternoons I hit the gym to exercise.”
‘I am a vegetarian now – that truly changed my life’
Additionally, Bhumi highlighted the significance of mindful eating, adopting a vegetarian diet, and making conscious food choices to maintain her energy levels and overall well-being.
She also told Vogue India in 2021, “I make sure to dedicate an hour to exercise daily and have made a resolution to complete 7,000-8,000 steps in a day so I don’t feel lethargic. It may look difficult since you’re indoors all the time but it’s important to push yourself… I believe that you should, be mindful of what you eat, not how much you eat. I am a vegetarian now and that has truly changed my life and opened my eyes to the importance of conscious food choices.”
