Kareena Kapoor Khan follows strength-based fitness routine
Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan follows a disciplined fitness regimen focused on strength and endurance rather than extreme dieting. Her current routine, managed by trainer Mahesh Ghanekar for over two years, involves working out four times a week. The sessions, which last approximately one hour, utilize High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), weight training, and functional exercises using equipment such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and steppers.
Her approach emphasizes heart-rate monitoring, aiming for a range between 135–180 BPM to track cardiovascular fitness through recovery speed. The regimen also incorporates intermittent fasting and mindful eating.
Regarding her history with weight management, Kapoor Khan has previously advocated against starvation. During her pregnancy, she maintained a diet that included foods like ghee and parathas, focusing on a normal pregnancy experience rather than restrictive dieting. Her fitness philosophy emphasizes that mental engagement is as vital as physical strength.
