Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is known for her brilliant acting as well as fitness and positive thinking. Be it her stylish looks or healthy lifestyle, Shilpa always keeps motivating people. Recently, she posted on social media and told about the benefits of yoga. Shilpa not only explained the importance of yoga, but also showed how some easy yoga asanas can make our everyday life better.

Yoga gives strength

Shilpa shared a video on Instagram, in which she was seen doing yoga. In this video, she told about some special yogasanas, which make the lower muscles of the legs flexible and strong. She wrote in the caption of her post, 'When you are on the yoga mat, just be in the moment.' Shilpa told that these yogasanas especially help in stretching the hips, hamstrings (muscles on the back of the thigh), inner thighs and groin (the part between the stomach and thigh). These asanas not only make the body flexible, but also make everyday small movements like bending down, sitting or squatting easier. If you feel stiffness in the hips, then these asanas also help in reducing it. Also, they increase the blood flow in the ankles and knees, making them stronger.

Physical balance and pelvic muscles also benefit

According to Shilpa Shetty, these yogasanas help in stretching and strengthening the pelvic muscles. Pelvic muscles are in the lower part of our body and it is very important to keep them strong. These asanas not only improve the balance of the body, but also strengthen the stomach and surrounding muscles. This gives better control over the body and you are able to move with more confidence. Shilpa says that yoga not only keeps the body fit, but also calms the mind.

Shilpa's fitness mantra

Shilpa is always conscious about fitness. She works out daily and spends time in the gym to increase her strength. Apart from yoga, cardio exercises are also a part of her routine. Some time ago, she shared another video on Instagram, in which she was seen doing jumping jacks, standing crunches and Zumba dance. In this video, she showed how calories can be burnt and lungs can be strengthened through cardio exercises.
