On the occasion of Kareena Kapoor's 45th birthday, let's go though her wellness routine, that keeps her fit and radiant. 

Kareena Kapoor turns 45 this year on September 21. The actor continues to set wellness goals for her fans as she follows a disciplined fitness routine, a long-standing routine and simple skincare tricks that help to keep her radiant and glowing. Endearingly called ‘Bebo’ (her nickname) by industry and fans alike, the actor shows that looking good and staying fit are not confined to any age boundaries.

Let's take a look at her wellness routine, from workout to diet, that keeps Kareena glowing, inside out.

Workout

On June 29, her fitness trainer, Mahesh, shared a clip of Kareena's exercises on Instagram of her power-packed workout routine, which included high-intensity fitness training. Her intense session targeted the full body. It included strength training exercises that improved the core muscle group strength.

The exercises also incorporated fitness equipment like a kettlebell and a dumbbell. In the video, Kareena was seen doing dumbbell shadow boxing, kettlebell raises with lunges, and kick-throughs: all high-energy workouts. This is a strong reminder for women who may ruminate over scaling back their workouts because of age. Take a leaf out of Kareena's fitness book and aim to stay strong, active, irrespective of age.

Diet

In the age of trending diets, Kareena Kapoor has kept it simple and consistent. The actor revealed one of her comfort foods: khichdi, which she can eat even five times a day, especially with a dollop of ghee, as “it keeps her happy.” Along with khichdi, her other go-to meals are dal and rice, and dahi rice.

Skincare, haircare

Given how she sticks to the basics because simplicity works, her skincare hacks are no different. In a 2018 interview with Vogue India, Kareena said she swears by almond oil for radiant skin. She recommended pairing it with yoghurt if one has dry skin. Barring this go-to essential oil, her other secret to glowing skin, she revealed, is hydration: “I drink at least three litres of water every day. No matter where I am, hydration is my mainstay.”

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR
    Adrija Dey

    Adrija Dey’s proclivity for observation fuels her storytelling instinct. As a lifestyle journalist, she crafts compelling, relatable narratives across diverse touchpoints of the human experience, including wellness, mental health, relationships, interior design, home decor, food, travel, and fashion that gently nudge readers toward living a little better. For her, stories exist in flesh and bones, carried by human vessels and shaped through everyday endeavours. It is the small stories we live and share that make us human. After all, humans and their lores are the most natural and raw repositories of stories, and uncovering them, for her, is akin to peeling an orange under a winter afternoon sun. Always up for a chat, she believes the best stories come from unfiltered yapping, where "too much information" is kind of the point. A graduate of Indraprastha College for Women, University of Delhi, and an alumna of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Delhi, Adrija spends her idle hours cocooned with herbal tea and a gripping thriller, scribbling inner monologues she loosely calls poetic pieces, often with her succulents in attendance. On lazier days, she can be found binge-watching, for the nth time, one from her comfort-show holy trinity: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Modern Family. Dancing by herself to her peppy playlists, however, is an everyday ritual she swears by religiously.Read More
