Manisha Koirala has long championed a balanced approach to wellness, and her latest fitness routine reflects the same. The actor shared a glimpse of her workout routine on Instagram, combining mindful yoga stretches with strength-training exercises.
She started by focusing on flexibility and did a few yoga stretches before moving into strength training. Manisha did the classic cat-cow pose to maximise spinal mobility. She then moved to the thread-the-needle stretch, a shoulder and upper-back stretch that improves mid-back rotation and relieves upper-back, shoulder, and neck tension. She finished off the stretches with lunging poses to improve lower-body mobility.
The actor then moved to strength training and started with lunges using small dumbbells. This powerful exercise targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes and improves core stability. Next, she did lateral leg movements with dumbbells to target the outer thighs, then did a few reps of leg raises and leg circles while lying on the mat.
