Ananya Panday regularly incorporates Pilates in her fitness routine.
When Ananya Panday is not impressing the fashion police with her sartorial choices, she is busy dedicating her time to her fitness regime. Be it yoga or Pilates, her fitness regime incorporates a lot of forms of workouts that help her maintain her svelte frame. Recently, her fitness instructor – Namrata Purohit – shared a picture of the actor sweating it out on a Pilates reformer.
In a picture shared by Namrata Purohit, Ananya Blacksmith was seen performing the side plank on a Pilates reformer. She captioned the picture as, “@ananyapanday…Consistency and hard work always pays off.” The actor was seen dressed in a black crop top which she had paired with a pair of black leggings. The side plank on a Pilates reformer adds pressure on the core and helps build a slimmer waist.
In case you are also aiming for a toned body this festive season, then here are three simple exercises that will help you to reach there.
- 1. Side Plank Twist
For the side plank twist, lie on the side on the Pilates reformer. Place one hand behind your head and exhale. Lift the other hand towards the ceiling and keep the pelvis still. Make sure that your feet are separated. Hold for some time and let go.
- 2. Scissors Criss-Cross
A quick and simple exercise for targeting the waist is the scissors crisscross. Start by lying on your back with your hands supporting your head. Lift one leg, and twist your torso toward that leg, engaging your core as you exhale. On the inhale, switch to the other leg and twist in the opposite direction. Repeat this movement a few times before resting.
- 3. Double Lunge Twist
Start in a standing position with your hands behind your head, one leg forward and the other leg back. As you exhale, bend both knees while twisting your torso toward the front leg. Inhale to return to the starting position and repeat the movement for a few more reps before resting.
