Not without my pilates: Kriti Sanon's fitness mantra

Every actor and actress has his/her own unique workout regimen. While some like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Siddharth Malhotra love doing yoga, Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone love their pilates. Kriti Sanon has got so hooked on pilates that the actress finds herself a training instructor wherever she travels – including Budapest where she recently shot for Raabta.

Kriti tells us that she got hooked onto pilates from January this year because she wanted to try a different form of workout. "I had seen a lot of videos of Yasmin Karachiwala and had heard of her from various sources. She trains me in Mumbai. I started in January, but I am still a beginner. I do a mix of pilates and weight training. So, I end up doing pilates for an hour three-four times a week. It's a slightly different routine every time I do pilates. There are various machines from the reformer, trapeze to wunda chair and many more and every machine has several kinds of routines and exercises that one can do. It depends on the muscles and target areas you want to work on."

She is so addicted to pilates that can't miss doing them for even a day. "I love pilates and it's a fun way of working out my entire body. But the body type I have, I need to combine it with weight training. So, I do pilates every alternate day. Pilates increases core strength, balance, increases flexibility and activates every single muscle. Also, it never gets boring or monotonous when you are using springs, pulleys and your body weight. When I was in Budapest, luckily I found a pilates trainer (Edina) in Budapest close to where I was staying. She had her own pilates studio."

The actress tells us apart from pilates she also does yoga but not regularly.
