Sen may not be a gym regular, but after overcoming injuries and an inflammatory disorder, she is committed to improving her fitness and well-being. “She is now concentrating on bodyweight exercise and flexibility,” says her trainer, Nupur Shikhare.

Mobility is another essential area that she will concentrate on—core strengthening, head-to-toe mobility, and shoulder rotations are all part of her programme,” he explained. She makes it a point to work out in her home gym four times a week for two hours each.

Be willing to try new things.

“What distinguishes Sushmita Sen is her energy and passion for attempting new things. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the current routines, and I am always having her come up with new ideas that she would want to add to her routine. She spends hours researching new tactics in minute detail, and she frequently breaks them down and tries them out on her own to see how they work for her,” Shikhare explained.

Sushmita Sen feels that while going to the gym can keep you healthy, attempting new activities will push you even further. Her workout programme now includes callisthenics, aerial silk yoga, and mixed martial arts.

Don’t skimp on a well-balanced diet.

Sushmita Sen believes that a healthy diet is crucial and that she will not miss meals. “Vegetables and grilled fish are staples in her daily diet, along with enough water,” Shikhare revealed. She also swears by a neem and honey mixture, which she claims is not as awful as it sounds.

Pushing yourself might help you find motivation.

“It may seem cliche, but that’s exactly what it comes down to. Sushmita Sen’s intensive training programme belies her age of 45. When you enjoy what you do, excitement and consistency come naturally. The idea is to choose a discipline that appeals to you, whether it’s running, sports, or yoga. Begin cautiously, allotting yourself an hour every day, and gradually increase the intensity of your chosen kind of exercise,” suggests Shikare.

Begin postpartum fitness exercises gradually

Even for the fittest women, returning to your gym routine so soon after giving birth is not a good idea. If you push yourself too hard in the beginning, you may put yourself back from true recovery. Of course, this does not imply that you should be held captive in your home for 6 weeks. A stroll might be a terrific way to start your journey back!

Take a 5-minute stroll, then return home and assess how you feel. Carry your kid in a front pack or push him in a stroller during these first few ventures out into the world since the strain may be too great. Build up from there, adding some mild upper-body stretching or a postpartum fitness class once you’ve walked comfortably and securely for a week or two.

Wait for the blood to cease flowing

When you start doing more strenuous exercises, pay heed to your body’s signals. Some women notice that their previously light bleeding has returned, indicating that the body requires additional time to repair before embarking on a post-pregnancy training regimen.

Consult your doctor beforehand

Speaking with your doctor is an important first step in attaining your postpartum fitness objectives. They may give you the go-ahead immediately away, or they may advise you to wait a few weeks before you start exercising again. Some may even advise you to postpone your six-week checkup. You may feel ready to depart, but follow your doctor’s recommendations.

If you’re nursing, take it easy

If you’re nursing, don’t worry about losing weight until your milk supply has been established for a few weeks. Some weight may naturally fall off over the first few days as your body releases the accumulated fluids it required during pregnancy. As you get more active, the rest will eventually fall off. If you’re breastfeeding, your body requires 500 calories per day more than it did before you became pregnant, so eat enough and eat healthily.

Perform pelvic floor exercises

Pelvic floor exercises (commonly known as Kegels) do not replace cardio like walking, but they are beneficial to your post-baby physique.

Pelvic floor exercises, with their modest motions, gradually strengthen your pelvic floor, preventing urine leaks and pelvic organ prolapse (like bladder prolapse). Plus, when you’re ready to resume sex, a healthy pelvic floor might make it more delightful!
