Mandira Bedi On Fitness

Bedi doesn't allow her travelling plans to interrupt her workout hours. If she doesn't have access to the gym while travelling, she sweats it out in her hotel room. “You can do a complete bodyweight workout without any equipment," she said in an interview, "also, you can always pack in things like running shoes, resistance bands and skipping ropes, which are light and hardly take up space in your luggage.”

Mandira Bedi's Advice For Beginners

"Give yourself small goals" Bedi opined to those who are reluctant in taking steps towards getting in shape and lead a healthier life, "Don’t think about losing 20 kg at once, focus on losing a kilo in one week, and so on"

She further clarified and cleared the common misconception of people thinking that "because they work out, they can eat anything." On the contrary, diet is the more important factor for being healthy. "Your diet is 70 percent important, and exercising, only 30 percent," she said.

While advocating the importance of a healthy diet, Bedi also denounced the practice of starvation in the name of losing weight. Instead, she advised finding foods that are of your liking and adopt a sustainable diet because" you can’t beat what you eat."
