Amid the nationwide lockdown for containing the spread of Coronavirus in India, several Bollywood celebrities are sharing lockdown diaries to 'stay in touch' with their admirers. Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty Kundra shared some yoga tips while Alia Bhatt is busy in her kitchen. Here we bring what Riteish Deshmukh, his wife Genelia and Bhumi Pednekar have for you.
Shilpa Shetty Kundra
Shilpa Shetty Kundra has offered yoga tips to beat lockdown inactivity that can make our muscles stiff.
In a video she has shared on Instagram, Shilpa performs Surya Namaskar. "Being indoors for days on end can lead to the body stiffening up. One of the best ways to give your body the much-needed flexibility and toning, is through a few rounds of Surya Namaskaras," she wrote.
Elaborating on the asana, the actress added: "It's a complete workout. To make it even more beneficial, I added a few variations. You can try it out too (if your body has no injuries and permits). It helps increase shoulder-&-core strength while improving back flexibility, stamina, and endurance. This one's also a high calorie-burning variation, so performing about 8 to 16 repetitions every alternate day will also help reduce fat and increase metabolism too."
She had this message for her fans: "Today, I'm grateful for the ability to share whatever knowledge I have with millions of people around the globe. Please do take care of your health and your families too. Stay indoors, stay safe."
