Social media is truly a treasure trove for fitness lovers! Scroll through your feed, and you are bound to come across so much inspiration that will instantly motivate you to take your fitness game a notch higher. On the other hand, in case you are a newbie, it will push you to start moving your body. It’s a win-win, we say! 

You may have seen your favourite Bollywood beauties killing it on social media. After all, apart from the usual workout, they also use certain props and equipment to stay in shape? Aren’t you curious to know what they are? So, let’s jump right in!

  1. Hula hoop for fitness

It seems like musician-and-actress Shruti Hassan loves to take the help of a hula hoop to stay in shape. Using a hula hoop helps you burn more calories, and reduces fat around your waist and hips. It also helps to increase your core muscle mass, and decreases bad cholesterol. All in all, it’s a fun way to get a toned body! Check it out here!

  1. Dumbbells for fitness

Bollywood yogini Shilpa Shetty is someone we look up to for fitness advice! We’ve always seen her ace even those complex yoga moves, and now she’s lifting weights like a boss. 

Here’s what her recent Instagram post reads, “When you put your heart and mind to something, anything is possible. I’d been aiming to achieve this for a while now, and it has finally happened. It may look easy, but the 20-kg weighted squat is no mean feat! It helps strengthen the glutes, thighs, hamstring, calves, core, knee joints, and lower back. It also helps burn fat. A great start to the day and week.”

  1. Resistance bands for fitness

If you want to take your fitness game to another level, make sure to use resistance bands, just like Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh. These bands improve the quality of your exercises, and help to stabilize muscles. Moreover, they are a good alternative to machines, and are lightweight yet effective.
