\"Deepika The beautiful Shantipriya, who is a true Mastani for cinema, and has made everyone fall for Naina, the gorgeous Deepika Padukone<\/a>, celebrates her 40th birthday today. She is one of the artists who, time and again, has shown tremendous growth with every passing year. In addition to her strong opinions and acting prowess, Deepika Padukone impresses and inspires with her fitness regimen. Even at 40, she is fit as a fiddle and ready to take on any challenge, thanks to some of her non-negotiable fitness mantras. So today, in honour of her 40th birthday, let\u2019s take a look at what the queen follows to stay fit.<\/p>\n

Deepika Padukone follows a balanced diet<\/p>\n

Deepika Padukone and her love for food have been highlighted in several media interactions. Even during Kapil Sharma\u2019s show, she confessed that she enjoys munching on good snacks like Banana chips. In an interview with Curly Tales, she spoke about her fondness for a cheese and chilli recipe. Also, during her appearance on \u2018Koffee With Karan\u2019 with Alia Bhatt, it was revealed that Deepika enjoys French fries as well. Having said that, Deepika understands that eating things in a certain proportion is important, and creating a balance is essential. Thus, she stays away from crash diets or meal plans that lack sustainability. <\/p>\n

In a March 2024 post, she shared, \u201cSurprised to see this on my feed? Well, I eat! And I eat well! Ask anyone who knows me. So don\u2019t believe anything else you might hear or read. The trick? Balance, Consistency and Listening to YOUR Body. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding around the word \u2018Diet\u2019. We often believe that \u2018Diet\u2019 means to starve, to eat less and to eat all of the things we detest.”She continued, “What \u2018Diet\u2019 really means is the total of all the food and drink consumed by an individual. The word actually comes from the Greek word \u201cdiaita,\u201d which means \u201cway of life.\u201d I\u2019ve always, for as long as I can remember, followed a \u2018Balanced Diet\u2019. And it is for me \u2018a way of life\u2019. I\u2019ve never followed a diet that I cannot be consistent with or one that is a fad. Now, do I indulge? Of course, I do, as demonstrated above!\ud83d\ude05 But it most certainly isn\u2019t my way of life. Ever heard the phrase \u2018you are what you eat?\u2019 If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learnt (the hard-ish way) is that those words couldn\u2019t be truer.”<\/p>\n

Deepika Padukone\u2019s dedication to pilates<\/p>\n

Pilates has been a very important part of Deepika\u2019s fitness journey. Even after embracing motherhood, the actress made sure to follow Pilates to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Her trainer, Yasmin Karachiwala, shared a video of the actress doing a MOTR Pilates routine, and it simply inspired Deepika\u2019s fans!\u201cDeepika Padukone\u2019s MOTR Pilates routine – a perfect way to kickstart your day with a burst of energy and positivity,\u201d Yasmin wrote before adding, \u201cMOTR is indeed a great tool for those who love to travel and stay fit.\u201d Elaborating further about the routine, she mentioned, \u201cThe MOTR (Movement On The Roller) is a portable Pilates machine that combines the benefits of a foam roller, a resistance band, and a Pilates reformer into one compact and versatile piece of equipment. The machine is lightweight and easy to carry, which makes it perfect for taking with you wherever you go.\u201d <\/p>\n

Deepika Padukone\u2019s 10-minute workout plan, because consistency matters<\/p>\n

We all often complain that out of 24 hours, we can spare even an hour for ourselves, for a workout. Well, Deepika Padukone, who is one of the busiest stars too, faces such a situation, yet she manages to take at least 10 minutes out of her hectic schedule. Speaking about the same with Tweak India, she shared, \u201cIf I had only 10 minutes, I would probably do a quick cardio and a stretching session, but nothing too sudden, because I don\u2019t believe in doing anything to increase your heart rate suddenly. Whether it\u2019s on a treadmill\u2026 maybe like a brisk walk or going for a jog, and then a few yoga stretches such as cat-cow, some spinal articulation, focusing on body parts like neck, shoulder, mobility, spine, hip, ankles.\u201dThese three simple things help Deepika stay fit, young and glowing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The beautiful Shantipriya, who is a true Mastani for cinema, and has made everyone fall for Naina, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228362,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[5649,117332,4778,499,117330,103,61,60,117331],"class_list":{"0":"post-228361","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-balanced-diet","9":"tag-celebrity-fitness-tips","10":"tag-deepika-padukone","11":"tag-fitness","12":"tag-fitness-regimen","13":"tag-health","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-motr-pilates"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
