Exercise is a big part of Disha’s life. “I work out everyday and my routine usually involves cardio in the mornings, like dancing, kick boxing or gymnastics, and weight training in the evenings,” she told Vogue India. How much daily exercise should you aim for? Harvard Health suggests “at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise or 15 minutes of intense exercise a day,” to maintain health.
Disha drinks a lot of water. She even told Vogue that her water bottle “is the most important part of any workout.” How much do you need to hydrate? According to Harvard Health, you should drink at least four-to-six cups of water daily and avoid overhydration. “It’s possible to take in too much water if you have certain health conditions, such as thyroid disease or kidney, liver, or heart problems; or if you’re taking medications that make you retain water, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opiate pain medications, and some antidepressants,” they add.
Disha explained to Vogue that a big misconception is that women should only do “cardio, not weight training.” She reveals that most women “all work out and do heavy weights; I come across so many girls in the gym training really hard. At the end of the day, it isn’t about the gender, but about working on your body and becoming your fittest self.” She also regularly kickboxes, showing off her moves on Instagram.
Disha fuels her body with a “protein-carbs” diet, she explained to Vogue. “I have fallen into this bad habit where I don’t eat anything in the mornings before working out, because I feel very full while exercising if I do. But, it is definitely advisable to cram in a small meal before a work out, consisting of some protein, like eggs. After exercising, it is good to add protein again, either through chicken, eggs or paneer.”
Disha eats healthy most of the time, but loves to indulge in the occasional cheat meal. “I absolutely love them; in fact, I wait for cheat days the whole week. Depending on the diet I am following and my shoot schedule, I sit down once a week and eat everything I can fit into my stomach,” she confessed to Vogue.
