Alia Bhatt knows how to show up for herself—and her Instagram feed never lies. From sweaty selfies to mid-rep grunts, she’s given us an all-access pass to her workout world. Even her trainer, Sohrab Khushrushahi, drops behind-the-scenes glimpses now and then, and trust me: they’re worth the double-tap.
Hard Work Pays Off (Seriously, Just Ask Sohrab)
In a recent chat with the Indian Express, Sohrab didn’t hold back the praise. “Alia is one of the hardest-working individuals out there,” he said, and honestly, I couldn’t agree more. Every gym session she logs feels like a mini masterclass in dedication. It’s that kind of grind we all secretly admire but few admit to putting in. Right?
Ugh, I love a good under-dog story—except here, our heroine already had the trophy. Still, watching someone at the top hustle this way? Inspiring as heck.
Tweaking the Plan on the Fly
Pregnancy threw a curveball at the usual routine, and Sohrab adjusted like a boss. No two days were the same—some days Alia felt unstoppable, others she needed a gentler touch. Their approach?
- Always have a plan, but
- Be ready to pivot, and
- Listen to your body first.
In practical terms, that meant dialing back intensity when needed and leaning into breath work. Honestly, isn’t that what fitness should be about—adaptation rather than punishment? It seems to me we all could learn to take it down a notch when our bodies scream, “Hold up, partner.”
From Breath to Barbell: The Postpartum Playbook
Once Raha arrived, Sohrab and Alia slowed things down “just a little,” focusing on breath, pelvic-floor work, and gentle strength moves. Here’s the real talk: postpartum fitness often gets oversold as a sprint to flat abs. But those early weeks? They’re more about reconnecting with yourself, quietly building strength one rep at a time.
Picture this:
- Pelvic-floor activation—hell yes, it matters.
- Controlled breathing drills—because core is more than just crunches.
- Low-load strength training—body and mind, syncing back up.
Doesn’t that sound kinder than banging out endless burpees? To me, that measured approach is gold—no rush, no shame.
Alia’s Own Weight-Loss Secrets (Straight from Vogue)
Flip back a bit, and Vogue caught up with Alia on her initial steps:
- Fifteen-minute walks
- Simple breathing exercises
Twelve weeks in, the menu expanded:
- Yoga
- Pilates
- Light cardio
- Classic strength training
And yes, breastfeeding naturally bumped up her calorie needs (mom life, anyone?) while her diet stayed rooted in nutrient-rich eats. Think: vibrant fruits, crisp vegetables, hearty whole grains, and lean proteins. Portion control, not deprivation. I mean, that plate of goodness looks more inviting than a chalky diet shake any day.
The Takeaway: Dedication + Consistency = Results
Let’s be real: Alia Bhatt’s post-baby transformation isn’t magic. It’s the payoff of consistent effort, respectful tweaks, and an unglamorous dose of patience. She didn’t rush back to her old routine overnight, and neither should we.
Sometimes I remind myself: it’s okay to move slowly. To celebrate a five-minute plank. To cheer for baby steps over giant leaps. After all, the journey—bumps and all—is where the real progress lives.
