Kareena Kapoor Diet and Exercise Routine

Kareena Kapoor has been on the list of the ten most desirable Indian women ever since she made her film debut in “Refugee”.  She has inherited the legacy of three generations of the first family of Hindi filmdom. While her histrionic abilities have been proven time and again, she is an icon of beauty and style for the younger generation. Her hairstyles and clothes are trendsetter among youths –be it the single red streak in “Ek Main Aur Ek Tu” or the pastel kurtas in “Bodyguard”.

Kareena Kapoor has metamorphized from a chubby, slightly plump debutante to the screen siren of today. This startling change from chubette to size zero happened over a period of 8 months and has been credited to a rigorous regimen of yoga and diet that Kareena followed under the supervision of her dietician Rujuta Diwekar and her yoga teacher, Payal Gidwani-Tiwari.

Kareena Dietician Rujuta Diwekar Advised her Following Weight Loss Diet

Kareena turned vegetarian to get her killer body. Her diet varies as per the activity level of her day and is made up of several small meals.

Kareena Rules to Healthy Eating

1. Avoid coffee, tea and cigarettes.
2. Start the day with fruit, nuts and milk.
3. Eat very small portions as often as you want during the day.
4. Finish dinner at least two hours before going to sleep.
5. Eat what your body craves for , but eat in moderation
6. Substitute whole fruit for fruit juices.
7. While travelling, be flexible in what you eat. There is low calorie local food which you can substitute in your regular diet. For example, substitute steamed aapams and idlis for rotis when in the south, momos in the north east and maize-jowar rotis in Central India.

Kareena Kapoor swears by yoga in keeping her fit. She exercises every day, no matter where she may be for 60-90 minutes. Kareena does at least 50 to 100 sets of Suryanamaskars for overall fitness. She concentrates on a specific body part each day and does yogasanas to exercise that specific part. Her routine consists of the following asanas:

1. Naukasana to exercise the abs.
2. Virabhadrasana for toning the legs and for better posture.
3. Bhujangasana for toning the spine and for flexibility.
4. Dhanurasana to tone the thighs and calves.
5. Paschimottasana for better balance and to relieve stress.
6. Meditation exercises.

The cooling down exercise includes Shavasana and Pranayam.

Kareena Fitness Tips

1. To keep up her energy levels for her grueling schedule as an actress, Kareena sips on Electoral through the day and also takes Vitamin B12 supplements.
2. Kareena started off with a less rigorous fitness routine and progressed to her current program. If you are new to a fitness program, be consistent and progressively increase the duration and difficulty level.
3. Exercise can be fun with the right company. Exercise with your partner, as does Kareena with Saif. In fact, Saif’s toned look in Agent Vinod has largely been attributed to his yoga sessions with Kareena!
