Shriya saran has made heads turn in every appearance she has made: whether it is in Tamil cinema or in Hindi cinema, or in her appearances at awards, shows and in the public eye. But the twist in the tale is that the actress doesn’t have a gym membership, and is a foodie. And yet, her figure is one that most women crave for.
She works out with her own range of free style exercises, and prefers to avoid being confined to the unhealthy air conditioned environments of a gym. She exercises every day, and derives much happiness and plenty of health benefits from her regimen. Her fitness program includes a combination of running, swimming, yoga and circuit training. Since she has an active metabolism, she also gets to reap the benefits of eating to her heart’s content – and enjoys Indian food more than anything else, since it offers a balanced diet. Moreover, her choices of food centre around the way in which it is cooked – so boiled and grilled food beat all kinds of fried and junk food.
Shriya Saran exercises about five times each week, and prefers keeping it outdoors so that it lets her stay one with nature. She starts with a warm up that involves running for 20 minutes. Next, she spends 25 minutes on circuit training, working out in high intensity to strengthen the body, but with basic workouts such as back extensions, squats, lunges, push-ups, side to side jumps, jumping jacks, sit ups, bicep curls, all in three sets of 15 repetitions each. Next, 10 minutes go into doing yoga, particularly the suryanamaskar, and the 60 minutes routine is done. Through the week, circuit training remains a constant, while running is substituted with swimming and yoga.
Shriya says she has a flexible body that is a result of the exercise routine that she follows – and her diet as well. She starts her morning with a glass of orange juice which gives her Vitamin C. After an hour, she has a masala omelette made from two egg whites, a bowl of porridge and a paratha. Between lunch and breakfast, she has fruits. Her lunch is usually a portion of grilled fish with two chapatis, some vegetables and daal. She enjoys Malabar, Andhra and Goan fish curry most, and enjoys most vegetables save for bitter gourd, and she stays away from red meat. Her evening snack is a portion of sprouts or vegetable salads with nuts, and dinner is done by 7:30 PM, since the metabolism slows down late at night and food is stored as fat the later one eats. Her day ends with a glass of hot milk with a little honey. The only thing that she indulges in is dark chocolate and coffee –but she makes it a point to keep her portions in order.
