Whether you’re hitting the gym or a yoga class, being dressed comfortabl­y yet fashionabl­y is crucial for the modern populace. To understand how fitness and fashion go hand in hand, we caught up with celebrity trainer, Anshuka Parwani, founder of Anshuka Yoga, whose workout Bollywood stars, including the likes of Kareena Kapoor Khan, Malaika Arora, and Tusshar Kapoor, can’t get enough of.

During the conversati­on, she revealed her motivation tips, workout playlist, and her favourite pieces from the K Active range from KOOVS. COM. My career started out with me being a pilot. I was in a terrible accident that left me medically unfit. I was on bed rest, unable to move around much. I started physiother­apy and yoga to heal myself. As yoga helped me so much, I decided to get a teacher's training.Coincident­ally, I started working with Kareena Kapoor, who was my first student. I was very lucky — I’d just started working with a yoga company and they sent me to her due to lack of trainers. She really loved my class, so much so that I started travelling with her on outdoor shoots and became her exclusive personal trainer. This started in 2009, after which many other celebritie­s heard about me and got in touch. Whoever you go to for a fitness class should always motivate you, not only physically, but emotionall­y and mentally as well. Motivation always comes from looking good and feeling good! For me, keeping a client motivated is also about making sure that I’m very healthy and fit. Fitness fashion is so important! For example, wearing cool yoga pants and pieces with motivation­al quotes can inspire you to strive harder. It’s so hard to introduce fitness in your daily life or go to a gym or yoga class — fashion can help make it more fun. KOOVS.COM I love their ‘No Limits’ motivation­al yoga pants and the trendy blue co-ord set that has great material. My favourite go-to music is anything by Drake. The kind of music I play really depends on my mood. I also listen to a lot of Punjabi music as it’s very upbeat and keeps you lively. Just know what works for you and keep at it. For a celebworth­y fitness routine, find a good teacher or a gym or yoga place, be motivated, and commit to your workout. What really differenti­ates a regular person from a celebrity is discipline. So, if you keep up the commitment and discipline that a star has, you can see the same changes in your own body and can even achieve even better results.
