At 52, Malaika Arora is one of the fittest celebrities in Bollywood. The star not only experiments with fashion and serves incredible sartorial moments, but she also stays in her fittest by hitting the gym regularly. Her social media timeline is full of workout videos inspiring her followers to get fit and healthy.
On June 7, Malaika shared a couple of videos of her working out at the gym. In the caption, she tagged her trainer, Robin Behl, and wrote, “My week that was…train, train some more, and then some more #WorkoutWithMalaika #FitnessJourney #StrongIsBeautiful #HealthyLifestyle #MoveWithPurpose.”
Malaika Arora’s workout session
The post features four videos of Malaika doing different exercises that engage various parts of her body. In the first move, she is seen kneeling on the ground and holding a resistance band. To do the workout, Malaika moved her upper body forward and back without bending her arms. The movement engages the core while also stretching the hamstrings.
The next exercise she did was the plank-to-mountain pose, for which she placed two sliding discs under her toes and, to keep her upper body stable, held two wooden blocks attached to the floor. During the workout, Malaika can be seen sliding her body forward to get into the mountain pose, then backwards to get into the plank position. She performed the movement without bending her arms or her back, keeping her core engaged.
Next, she did straight-arm standing pull-downs. For this workout, she stood in front of the pull-down machine with her feet shoulder-width apart, and then pulled the weights down while getting into a half squat with straight back and arms. Lastly, Malaika did another core routine, twisting her body to the side while holding only a wooden ring attachment and balancing her body perpendicular to the floor.
