Who better to get exercise and diet tips from than the people in the business of looking good! Get real-life tips and inspiration from these famous faces in the world of glitz and glamour.
I start my day with: Meditation and a bowl of fruit
The super-food I swear by: Home-cooked food!
If I didn't have to worry about getting fat, I would: Be eating red velvets (cupcakes) everyday.
My quick-fix fitness mantra:There is no quick-fix! Fitness is something that requires consistency... However, if it's a desperate situation, cut out carbs in the evenings.
Ve-gan or we can't? Ve-gan. It's a healthy and fantastic way to live. But I love my meat too much right now. Who knows, maybe in the future!
I wish I had: Model Rosie Huntington's legs.
My mom always says: 'Drinking a lot of water is the cure for any health problem.'
What keeps me going: I enjoy looking and feeling good. There is no better feeling than being disciplined and motivated to stay healthy.
My favourite time of day to exercise: I prefer either first thing in the morning or in the evening.
I exercise to: Music!
Fitness gyaan: There is no quick-fix solution to fitness
Sushma Reddy
The super-food I swear by: Lime shot mixed with ground whole turmeric every night before bed - it's the best antacid and immunity booster ever!
If I didn't have to worry about getting fat, I would: Eat my mom's ghee dosas all day long!
My quick-fix fitness mantra: An hour of spinning and a big leafy salad is a quick fix for toned abs and legs.
Ve-gan or we can't? Ve-gan. I am a vegan because of allergies to food and animal protein, so I really don't have a choice. Would I be vegan by choice? No. Because certain dishes do taste exciting with eggs, cheese and dairy.
I wish I had: Jennifer Aniston's arms and legs, Jessica Biel's upper body and Priyanka's waist
My mom always says: 'Get your hand out of the Lindor Dark Chocolate jar!'
What keeps me going: I am a slave to habit, so staying true to a regimen is not difficult. But I do have a problem with indoor gym workouts and being cooped up inside. I prefer outdoor sports or a brisk walk in the open.
My favourite time of day to exercise: Early mornings. I am not an evening person. Besides, with traffic, I would never make it to an evening workout in time!
I exercise to: House Music and Electronica.
Fitness gyaan: Work out in a group or join a class if you are not motivated - it really improves your consistency with your regimen and makes the class competitive.
Imran Khan
The super-food I swear by: Pomegranate juice
If I didn't have to worry about getting fat, I would: I don't get fat no matter what I do... I know, my friends hate me for that!
My quick-fix fitness mantra: 10 days of working out and I can fix most problems!
Ve-gan or we can't?: I don't think a vegan diet is healthy. Our bodies haven't evolved to survive only on plants.
I wish I had: Hrithik's biceps
My mom always says: 'Are you sure you're eating enough?'
What keeps me going: Self-motivation. If I know I have to do something, I do it.
My favourite time of day to exercise: Evenings
I exercise to: Silence. I hate gyms that play music.
Fitness gyaan: The craziest fitness tip that actually works is to do each rep 'really' slowly.
It really works!
