Hegde shared some of her diet and workout secrets in an interview with The Free Press Journal. She says that she stays motivated to workout regularly. “I am genetically blessed, and I also do workouts. I’d rather work out and eat because I’m a very big foodie. To tell you the truth, I work out so that I can eat everything my heart desires. I do bodyweight callisthenics and Pilates. I like to keep myself challenged. I find gym equipment boring.”
Hegde tells The Free Press Journal that she doesn’t believe in dieting or cutting things out. She says that her best advice is to, “Eat small meals every two hours. I do not believe in crash diets. I feel one shouldn’t do something that you can’t do for the rest of your life. In my opinion, carbs are very important because they make you glow.”
Hegde has amazing hair and skin, and she makes sure to take care of both. She shared her secrets with PinkVilla. Hegde says that coconut oil is one of her favorite products. “There’s nothing like a nice coconut oil massage for your scalp. It is really nourishing and it is really something your scalp needs it. Coconut oil before you take a hot bath really works.”
Hegde shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is practice yoga. Hegde shared this video of herself doing poses on the reformer. She captioned the post, “Vinyasa Yoga on the Pilates Reformer..perfect way to ensure ur sore for the next 3 days.. đ especially with @samir.purohit shouting out instructions every second!” Better Health states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “The movements of yoga are designed to challenge flexibility, balance, coordination and strength, increasing your body’s efficiency and overall health. Breathing techniques promote greater mind body connection, improving the function of body and mind. Focusing on controlled movement and breathing prepares the body and mind for meditation, with an approach to a quiet mind that allows silence and relief from everyday stress. When practiced regularly, yoga can become a powerful and sophisticated discipline for achieving physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.”
Hegde loves to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using arm bands, a bar, and of herself hanging from the reformer. Hegde captioned the post, “Me trying to burn off last night’s dessert.” HealthySD.gov states that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pain Reliefâ pilates can help people recover from injury or manage chronic conditions. Core Strengthâ pilates helps strengthen stomach muscles as well as your side body, mid to lower back, buttocks, and hips. Postureâ a strong core makes it easier to have better posture. Flexibilityâ pilates exercises involve a fair bit of stretching which leads to an expanded range of motion.”
