Shefali Jariwala in Workout Gear is "Feeling Electric"

Shefali Jariwala is showing off her post workout glow in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the Bigg Boss star flaunts her fit figure in a two-piece workout ensemble after a workout session at the gym. “​​Feeling electric,” she captioned the Instagram post. “Looking so gorgeous,” commented one of her followers. “You look like cleopatra,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Shefali is a yogi. “I do ashtanga yoga, advanced ashtanga yoga,” she told Women Fitness. “I’ve been doing that for a long time as well. So I really like yoga that helps me with my stretching and my lung capacity, the breathing exercises and kind of for the mind. It’s a great workout, for the mind as well as the body. So I do love yoga.”

Shefali does weight and strength training. “I go to the gym three times a week. I do have a personal trainer and we try and do various different kinds of exercises and different routines every now and then to give the body a shot,” she told Women Fitness. “But yeah, one thing, that I do extremely heavy weights and because I believe that if you want to look like a goddess, you’ve got to train like a beast. So I do train like a man. I do train like a beast. And I guess I have a very strong core. I have developed it through the years.”

Shafali doesn’t allow her weight to yo-to too much. “As you are aging, you know, you as a woman especially, you have to make sure that you keep your weight under control because it tends to get difficult as you age, you know, to drop the weight. So I make sure that I don’t, you know, from my range of weight, I don’t kind of put on more than 2 kilos ever, because then it becomes difficult to, you know, take longer also from being a lot of effort to drop that,” she says.

“As far as diet is concerned. I’m not much of a foodie anyways. I don’t have a sweet tooth. So I think that what works really well for me through the week, I’m eating extremely healthy, getting my protein. So my dinner is always salads,” she told Women Fitness about her diet, adding that “it’s all about portion control. So I eat everything. But, you know, I might keep that portion control in check.” She also allows herself “one day in a week” or “one meal” as a cheat meal. “And I don’t hesitate eating whatever I want to eat, whatever the mood is, you know, whether it is Chinese takeout or, you know, desserts or anything that I want, anything that my heart desires. So I do reward my body and myself with one cheat meal in a week. You know, for all the hard work and all the discipline, you know, it’s important to do that,” she says. “So, yeah, and I also believe that the body’s made in the kitchen and not in the gym. 80 percent of your body depends on what you eat and what is cooked in your kitchen. You know, and gym is just for strengthening and toning up. But even if I didn’t have the gym around, if I just eat right, that would not cause much harm to my body. So I do eat right. I eat healthy and I reward myself every now and then with a cheat meal.” And I think that just works fine for me.

Shefali prioritizes hydration. “I drink a lot of water,” she tells Women Fitness. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

What is the best type of workout for Shefali? “For me, my favorite exercise, I think any exercise is great exercise,” she told Women Fitness. “I wake up in the morning and start my day with an hour on the stationary bike. I kind of like cycling because it’s gentle on my knees and it’s a spin bike. So, you know, if you know how to do it, you can kind of work out on all parts of your body.”
