From television and films to reality shows and digital entertainment, Priyamvada Kant has consistently embraced versatility. With memorable roles in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Tenali Rama, a win on MTV Splitsvilla 12, and her recent outing in Gharwali Pedwali, Kant has never shied away from exploring new facets of her craft. A trained classical dancer, movement has always been an integral part of her life. For Kant, however, fitness isn’t about chasing a particular look or number on the weighing scale. It’s about feeling strong, energetic and mentally balanced. Staying Fit While TravellingI don’t believe fitness has to stop because I’m travelling or have a hectic schedule. I keep it simple with short home workouts, yoga, stretching or a long walk whenever I don’t have time for a full workout. Dancing has also kept movement naturally integrated into my life. I don’t follow extreme diets either. I believe in eating mindfully, watching portions and listening to what my body needs. Hydration and good sleep are equally important, especially when I’m travelling.Keeping Workouts InterestingI don’t enjoy doing the same workout every day. I switch between yoga, walking, dancing, home workouts and outdoor activities depending on my schedule and energy levels. Dance is my favourite because it never feels like a workout. Yoga helps me stay grounded and connected to my body. I believe the key is to keep experimenting. Even 20 minutes of movement can make a difference when you’re consistent. My Five Fitness Rules Consistency over intensity: I’d rather move a little every day than overdo it occasionally. Listen to your body: Rest is just as important as exercise. Stay hydrated: Water is essential for overall well-being. Eat mindfully: I don’t believe in depriving myself of food I enjoy. Prioritise mental wellness: Yoga, breathing, dancing and spending time

Kriti Verma: Fitness should make you feel Stronger and HappierKriti Verma has steadily evolved from a familiar face in the reality-show space into an actor exploring different languages and formats.

With projects such as O Andala Rakshasi, O Sundara Rakshasi, Karikaada and Police Complaint, Kriti is entering an exciting phase of her career. Off-screen, she believes in keeping her fitness routine practical, balanced and sustainable.Fitness on the GoI think consistency is more important than perfection. My schedule can be unpredictable, especially when I’m travelling for shoots, so I try to make fitness part of my routine rather than something I do only when I have time. I stay active wherever I am, make sensible food choices and keep myself hydrated. Even if I can’t follow my regular workout, I try to walk, stretch or do some form of movement. For me, fitness is about feeling energetic and healthy, not just looking a certain way. Keeping Workouts InterestingI like keeping my workouts varied because doing the same thing every day can become boring. I enjoy a combination of strength training, cardio, functional movements and stretching. Sometimes I also include dance or activities that keep me moving without making exercise feel like a chore. Music helps me stay motivated, and changing the intensity or type of exercise keeps things interesting. I also

Staying Consistent With Fitness I’ve had phases when I was highly dedicated to fitness and phases when I didn’t work out for over 6 months.

I do Pilates, gymnastics, kickboxing, boxing, and MMA, including Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu. I also make sure to get in 30 minutes of cardio and core work. This has been my routine lately. 2. Your Top Five Fitness Rules These are what work for me: Hydration: essential. Water helps your body function and flush out anything that doesn’t suit you. Waking up early: I’m an early riser and love morning workouts; by noon, I feel accomplished and energised. Matcha over coffee: coffee overstimulates me, but matcha gives me steady energy. Two kiwis every morning: my dose of vitamin C. Pescatarian, balanced meals: one fish meal a day, lots of salad and fibre, and a hearty breakfast with eggs, carbs, and sourdough. 3. “You Are What You
