When it comes to fitness enthusiasts in Bollywood, Alaya F certainly deserves a spot on the list. The actress frequently shares her workout updates on social media, effortlessly excelling at one exercise after another. Once again, she has impressed her followers - this time with a stretch that is sure to leave anyone astonished.

Alaya F's Latest Workout

Alaya F is seen performing a highly advanced movement: a pulled leg stretch with an isometric hold using a Swedish bar. She holds onto the bar with both hands while raising one leg straight up vertically. This advanced calisthenics exercise is especially effective for strengthening the core.

Also known as a gymnastic wall bar, Swedish ladder, or stall bar, this equipment was invented in Sweden in the 19th century by Per Henrik Ling. The benefits of using this exercise include:

  • It offers a wide range of strength, flexibility and coordination exercises, such as leg raises, pull-ups, stretching, and rehabilitation
  • Originally used in physical therapy, the Swedish bar provides support for gentle stretching, mobility work, and posture correction.
  • Regular practice can help strengthen core muscles, improve coordination, and promote overall functional fitness.

Alaya F Doles Out Fitness Inspiration

This is not the first time Alaya F has performed a difficult exercise; she previously executed a straddle planche, which requires supporting one's entire body weight on the hands placed on parallettes, with the legs extended wide apart horizontally. 

This exercise demands considerable upper body strength, core stability, balance and flexibility. It is a common feature in gymnastics, calisthenics and bodyweight strength training.

Alaya F has also undertaken a '75 Hard' workout, which essentially involved two workouts each day: one indoors and one outdoors, with each lasting a minimum of 45 minutes. One must be completed outside. She also drinks 3.8 litres of water a day, reads at least 10 pages of a non-fiction book, and adheres to a strict no-cheat-meal policy. Additionally, no alcohol is allowed.
