Deepshika's fitness mantra

Deepshika Nagpal shares her fitness mantra with TOI
My workout regime
Everyday after waking up, I do yoga for about 15 minutes. I’m not much into weight training and focus more on free hand exercises. However, for my directorial debut film, in which I’m also starring, I had hired a personal trainer and would work out for an hour every day. Since I didn’t get much time during the day, I’d make it a point to exercise at night for at least an hour.If for some reason, I’m unable to work out, I brisk walk for about half an hour. I think it’s a myth when people say that you should not exercise when you are tired. On the contrary, if you exercise when you are tired, you feel energetic and fresh.
My diet
I am a vegetarian and as such have a very controlled diet and avoid junk food at all times. I prefer simple ghar ka khana, which has less oil and masala. However, like a typical Punjabi I have a sweet tooth and must have sweets everyday after a meal! I believe in the maxim — eat healthy, think healthy and be healthy.
Happiness quotient
I’m a happy go lucky person and don’t believe in taking stress. In fact, in a tense situation I start laughing and smiling even more. I believe that our destiny is not in our hands and it is best to accept things as they happen. Even if things are not going my way, I feel I may as well smile and take matters lightly.
My idea of relaxation
I love to indulge myself at a spa at least once a week. I love taking massages and listening to nice soothing music to feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated. I also believe that a positive attitude goes a long way in keeping you healthy.
