With gyms and most public areas shut due to Coronavirus, Rhea Chakraborty has come up with an innovative way to not just stay on track with fitness, but also help her social media followers do so. Starting today, the actress will post home workout videos for every fitness enthusiast in self-isolation.

Rhea says, “When I started working out at home, I realised that it requires constant pushing, or one can get lazy. Now, urging other people to work out as well will be another motivation for me. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

She goes on to add that a “nice black coffee and great music” also play an important part in the motivation department. Besides the regular regimen, which involves both cardio and weight-training, Rhea is switching it up with yoga and meditation. “I am also catching up on my reading—both poetry and prose—after a long time. Right now, I am reading Felt Time: The Psychology Of How We Perceive Time by Marc Wittmann. I used to do all this earlier as well, but with the lingering pressure of meetings and shoots,” she says.

She also recommends getting out once in a while for exercise. “There is no better place to work out than nature to feel free, relaxed and calm. It also makes you realise the mere mortality of human beings when you are surrounded by nature, which is so vast and immense.”

The self-care extends to homemade face and hair masks and plenty of sleep. “Self-isolation has also allowed me to spend more time with family and friends. However, I hope we don’t have to stay like this for very long and this deadly disease (Covid-19) goes away,” Rhea signs off.
