Mumbai, India (CU)_ The encouragement provided by Shilpa Shetty’s morning blog post is just what we need to battle laziness. She has uploaded a video of her morning workout. Shilpa was not alone, though. The actress was accompanied by her sister, Shamita Shetty. And, the Shetty sisters continued to do a sequence of asanas that strengthen the core.
Sharing the video, the actress wrote alongside the following message. She wrote, “Monday morning, and Tunki and Munki making the most of this holiday and the London summer!. Today’s agenda is Gatyatmak Uttanpadasana. It’s a fantastic core workout. What you see here is only a minute out of the 3 very long minutes we did it continuously. We could feel those abs for 4 days. Thanks for this Killer workout.”

Shipa Shetty explained the benefits of these workouts saying, “It is one of the best exercises for the lower abdomen because it tones and strengthens the pelvis, hips, legs, and also the perineum muscles. It is beneficial for women, as it improves the function of the reproductive organs and strengthens the walls of the uterus.” She added, “However, one shouldn’t practice this during pregnancy and menstruation. Also, anyone suffering from back pain, slip-disc, and the cervical issue must avoid it”.

Previously, Shilpa Shetty had discussed another asana that strengthens the core: Gatyatmak Eka Pada Uttanasana Pawanmuktasana. This time also she is accompanied by Shamita Shetty. According to the actress, “Even if you’re in vacation mode, don’t take a detour from your “Fitness Road”. She added, “That’s my motivation to start my day (even if I’m on a holiday with a 3-times-a-week fitness routine). Today, it is core strengthening with the Gatyatmak Eka Pada Uttanasana Pawanmuktasana. It helps improve the digestive system and is beneficial in controlling acidity, gases, and constipation. Following it up with Naukasana and some variations. It is one of the best asanas to strengthen the core because it is extremely beneficial for the liver, pancreas, and kidneys; and strengthens the muscles of the arms, thighs, and shoulders.”

Shilpa Shetty’s most recent appearance was in Nikamma. Filmmaker Sabbir Khan helmed the movie and the cast includes Abhimanyu Dassani, Shirley Setia, and Samir Soni in pivotal roles.
