Nita Ambani's fitness secrets
Exercise has long been an important part of Nita Ambani’s lifestyle. She works out five to six days a week, switching between different muscle groups rather than following the same routine every day. “Leg days are my favourite. I have the strong legs of a dancer,” she said, crediting her years of Bharatanatyam training. Nita has been practising the classical dance form since she was six and continues to incorporate movement into her routine.
Along with strength training, Nita’s fitness regimen includes yoga, mobility and flexibility exercises, as well as core-strengthening workouts. On some days, she adds swimming and aqua exercises, while dancing for an hour is another activity she enjoys. She also aims to walk around 5,000 to 7,000 steps a day.
What is Nita Ambani’s diet routine
Nita follows a balanced vegetarian diet and prefers organic, natural foods. “My diet is balanced. I am a vegetarian. My food is more organic and nature-based,” she said. She also stressed the importance of protein and revealed that she avoids both sugar and sugar substitutes.

She also views staying active as a way of maintaining the strength and stamina needed for everyday life, including keeping up with her grandchildren. “It’s not about fighting age; it’s about owning it,” Nita said.
Encouraging others to make their health a priority, she added, “Take time out. Prioritise you. Show up for yourself.” Her recommendation is to start small, with “just 30 minutes a day, four times a week.”
