Taking to her social media handle, Janhvi shared two videos on her Instagram story feature that gave a sneak-peek into her robust workout session. Donning a white sports bralette top, teamed with a pair of white shorts, Janhvi pulled back her tresses into a high ponytail hairstyle to ace the athleisure look as she performed the exercises bare feet with support of a resistance band.

In the first video, Janhvi was featured performing pullups by stretching her arms above her head to grasp the parallel bar with both hands. Seizing the opportunity for strengthening her back, shoulders and arms, the actor pulled up on the parallel bars and fans can’t help but swoon over as they aim for the same fitness levels.

Benefits:

Exercises that don't rely on anything but a person's own body weight and are performed with differing levels of intensity and rhythm are called Calisthenics which build serious strength, improve your brain-body connection, help you lose weight and body fat, reduces injury risk, improves mobility and ease of movement and ensures better long-term health. Push-ups, pullups, squats, planks and jumping exercises are some of the best example calisthenics workouts for beginners.

Pullups exercise is a very beneficial workout to strengthen the muscles in the back, shoulder and arms while improving grip strength, overall body strength and fitness level. All the upper body muscles including the lats, traps, deltoids, pecs, biceps, forearms and triceps are brought into action when one lifts their whole body from the floor by hanging on a bar.

It is ideal for physical and mental health as it challenges your muscles. Though pullups are very efficient exercise routine, they are not recommended for beginner fitness levels. They are a great way to strengthen your biceps, triceps, forearms, wrists, grip strength, lats, shoulders and your core.
