Dhami shared a video recently of herself doing shoulder presses. She captioned the post, “Disclaimer : Do not try this at home or anywhere else without your doctors/trainers supervision.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Drashti Dhami stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
As you can see from her Instagram post, Dhami likes to strength train to stay in shape. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”
Dhami likes to do squats to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself in the gym on Instagram. In it, Dhami is seen doing squats and lunge squats. She captioned the post, “Cooking up a baby🤰& some serious gains at the gym🏋️♀️ Don’t worry I have got a doctor’s note for these reps. #MomBodInProgess. Disclaimer : Do not try this at home or anywhere else without your doctors/trainers supervision.”
Dhami likes to box to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself boxing with a trainer. Dhami captioned the post, “ℕ𝕠𝕥 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕣𝕖𝕘𝕦𝕝𝕒𝕣 𝔹𝔸ℝ𝔹𝕀𝔼. What a session with @tridevpandey. Thank you sir 🫡” According to Southern Colorado FCA, boxing has a lot of benefits. “Saving the best for last is the core strength that boxing will develop. Many sports do a poor job of developing a strong core that is vital to an athletes overall performance. A weak core can create all kinds of problems – from back pain, lack of balance, poor movement, a weak stance, etc. A weak core can also contribute to other muscles working over time to compensate for an underdeveloped core. The typical high school athlete spends roughly 8 hours a day sitting – most likely sitting in poor posture. An athlete’s core is often an afterthought needing intentional attention to be developed. Boxing provides a great focused core workout without all the crunches. Core development comes from maintaining a strong stance, delivering punches on a heavy bag, shadow boxing, and more. “
Dhami doesn’t skip leg day. One thing she likes to do is lunges. In this video, she is seen doing side lunges at the gym. Dhami captioned the post, “Workout your glutes and legs (bigger muscle groups) for more calorie burn. Here I am doing the strength version for beginner to early intermediates. Where was @coach.Urmi is demonstrating the plyometric versions for late intermediate to advanced students.”
