Kareena Kapoor Probably, fitness trainer Yasmin's most famous student is none other than Kareena Kapoor. Kareena does not only consider her, her trainer, but also a very good friend. The actress acknowledges all the efforts that Yasmin has put in for her weight loss.
Yasmin has been training Kareena since two years, now. Kareena feels that she has become very strong and doesn't tire easily. Whenever, they find the time, they make it a point to do a tough workout.
Kareena's fitness program is a combination of squats and heavy weights. According to her it's a misconception that women should not lift heavy weights. Apart from helping her body, she believes it also benefits the concentration of the mind and helps on in focusing. Earlier, her boyfriend Shahid thought that he was the fitness freak from amongst the two! However, after watching Kareena go, he thinks that he has taken a backseat!
During her Refugee, Kareena was a chubby 63 kgs. And they both worked together and fought the kilos and calories. Having knocked down almost ten kilos, she is certainly looking her best!
They are the demi-Gods for the public. Everything that they do becomes a style statement. Since decades, these beautiful people who we see on the silver screen have been our idols. Those perfect features, sculpted body, designer clothes� all add to the aura of a star. And in recent times, there has been a lot of emphasis on toned and fit bodies! If you think, they were all born with the perfect bod, you are highly mistaken. It does take a lot of hard work to get those results. So let's take a look at the fitness mantra of our stars and who is actually behind those bodies to die for!
Vrinda Mehta
With a clientele that boasts of people like Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Kajol, Twinkle Khanna and Farah Khan, fitness trainer Vrinda Mehta is certainly going places.
Her programs are designed keeping in mind the medical history of her clients. Her celebrity students swear by her�
Amitabh Bachchan It was as good as a national crisis when Amitabh Bachchan was hospitalized for a stomach ailment in November 2005. The past couple of months have not been so good for the superstar's health. Fortunately, to the relief of his well-wishers and fans, all's well now.
Talking fondly about his personal trainer, Vrinda Mehta, Bachchan says that her petite looks are very misleading. Because she is a task master, when it comes to workouts!
Bachchan believes that being lazy is in the inherent nature of humans. So it is important to have a trainer who pushes you to your limits. Mehta is the first trainer he has worked with. His training program has been designed, keeping his health problems in mind. Bachchan, who has been an asthmatic patient since about fifteen years, hasn't used the pump since he started training along with yoga. So looks like his training certainly worked out for the best!
Jaya Bachchan It was Jaya Bachchan who was first training with Vrinda Mehta. Upon seeing Vrinda's work, Amitabh Bachchan too decided to train with her! Jaya Bachchan and Vrinda Mehta's first meeting was on the sets of Karan Johar's Kal Ho Na Ho. And from then on, the duo hit it off. Jaya affectionately calls Vrinda 'Hitler.' Working out with her has helped her maintain her weight and overall health.
Kajol On her first meeting with Vrinda, Kajol told her that she wanted to lose weight without injuring herself with a strenuous workout. The actress jokingly told her that if she failed to lose weight and hurt herself, she would throw her from the terrace! They still laugh about it! However after the duo started working together, Kajol managed to shed all the extra kilos she had put on, post the birth of her daughter. And she sure is looking like a million bucks!
John Abraham Fitness expert Leena Mogre must be the envy of more than half the female population of the country! Because apart from being the CEO of a chain of exclusive gyms, she is also the personal trainer of the very hunky John Abraham.
Considering his erratic shooting schedules, it becomes very difficult for John to work out regularly. In spite of this fact, he tries to work out as frequently as he can. Every time he feels his body is in trouble, he knows he can turn to his personal trainer-cum-friend, Leena Mogre. He confesses that he loves to be pampered like a child.
John's fitness mantra is consistency. And that's the message that he gives out to his young fans. He has been working on his body since years and does not believe in taking any short cuts. Results don't show over night and one requires hard work and patience. Well, we don't know about the others, but John's hard work has definitely paid off!
When talking about the best fitness trainers of filmdom, another name which comes to mind is Deanne Pandey. She has managed to create a name and good will for herself, since the time she has been here. She too has an impressive list of high profile clients. Bipasha Basu, Preity Zinta and Lara Dutta to name a few. Let's take a sneak peak at how Deanne keeps these stars in shape.
Bipasha Basu The sultry Bipasha Basu gives Deanne Pandey the due credit for bringing about positive changes in her life. Not only is Deanna, Bipasha's fitness trainer, but also her very good friend.
We all remember the phase a few years ago, when Bipasha had put on some weight. All that was because of the hectic schedules and unhealthy lifestyle that she followed. But she shocked everyone with her whole new trimmer and hotter avatar in No Entry.
Deanne not only trains at the gym but also talks about having a healthy diet and sufficient sleep. Bipasha jokes that the day she can defeat Deanne in a boxing match, she will know for sure that she is strong! She is grateful to her friend for inspiring her to take care of herself. Fitness now is a way of life for her.
Preity Zinta Preity Zinta is another one of Deanne's high profile clients. According to her, the best thing about Deanne is that she is very knowledgeable and keeps upgrading herself and her knowledge on fitness.
Like many others, Preity too was on the chubby side when she had entered the industry. But with consistent training at the gym, under the baton of Deanne, Preity too has managed to create a perfectly sculpted body. Those who saw her last film Salaam Namaste can vouch for the fact. With a body like that, we're sure Preity can give anyone a run for their money.
Lara Dutta While many believe in the power of weights for fitness, power walks is it for Lara Dutta. It all started off, when Lara had injured her leg, due to which she was advised not to work out in the gym. She still wanted to continue with her workouts as she has always been athletic. Her trainer Deanne and she decided that the perfect way to keep fit was power walks.
It is the easiest and most convenient way to maintain one's body. It is such a simple work out that she can continue with it, wherever she is shooting. So for all those low maintenance kind of people, this one's for you!
