WALUSCHA ROBINSON

"Pilates is excellent for the abs and there is no chance of injury," says model Waluscha Robinson.

I train with my personal trainer, Yasmin Karachiwalla. I do a combination of aerobics, weight training and Pilates. I do weight training thrice a week and aerobic and Pilates once a week. The best part about Pilates is that it is excellent for the abs and there is no chance of any injury.

I have five small meals a day that include a lot of proteins. I keep the carbohydrates for the weekends. It's breakfast at 9 am and a small snack at 11:00 am (which could consist of an egg). I have lunch at 2 pm, an evening snack at around 5 pm and then dinner by 7.30 pm. I eat a lot of white meat, salads (that I buy from Yasmin my trainer), fruits and drink plenty of green tea. I munch on nuts to keep my energy levels up.

MASUMEH MAKHIJA

"Kick-boxing and salsa do it for me," says actress and dancer Masumeh Makhija.

My basic workouts involve dancing. I am a trained Kathak and belly dancer. I do a combination of kick-boxing and dancing (either belly dancing or salsa) everyday. It is important to remember that trained dancers need a lot of body strength and I include stretches and cardio before I begin dancing. I usually dance at my teacher's place or with my personal trainer. Dancing strengthens my body and kick-boxing makes me agile.

I try and stay away from red meat completely.

I also munch on nuts if I need that extra bit of energy and yes I have lots of water through the day.

SUCHITRA PILLAI

"I eat anything and everything," says actor and television host, Suchitra Pillai.

I did yoga for a bit last year. I used to gym three years ago with a personal trainer. My trainer used to concentrate on using your own body weight like doing push-ups with my arms. Besides this, I did the usual cardio, stretches and used dumbbells as well. We used to work out four times a week. Now however, I do not have an exercise regimen that I stick to simply because I am lazy.

HER MEAL MANTRA

I eat anything and everything. I believe that your body tells you what is acceptable and what is not and so far mine tells me that everything is acceptable. I do eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and drink plenty of water too. But no particular diet that I follow.

TUPUR CHATTERJEE

"The only exercise I do is weights," says model, Tupur Chatterjee

I have just started going to the gym. I go there three to four times a week. The only exercise I do is weights. I alternate between light and heavy weights.

HER MEAL MANTRA

I eat everything because I have fast metabolism. However I make sure that I eat every two hours.

The size of my meal depends on how hungry I really am. I am told that when we eat every two hours, the body takes in what it needs and throws the rest out.

So even if it means me eating a packet of biscuits, I do.

ANCHAL KUMAR

"I am totally against diets," says model Anchal Kumar.

I have a high metabolism and a narrow frame, so I am lucky in a way. I have no fixed routine but I do try to go to the gym at least twice a week. I do light weights and heavy weights and exercise my upper and lower body. I workout with my trainers in the gym.

HER MEAL MANTRA

I am totally against diets. I eat five-six small meals a day. I eat my first meal a little after I wake up and then have three to four hour intervals between meals. I am a non-vegetarian and get my proteins from chicken and eggs. I make sure that I have a balance of carbohydrates as well. Even when I eat out, I make sure that I eat how much my body can take. So yes, I eat everything but don't overdo it.

ADITI GOVITRIKAR

"I stay away from fried food completely," says model and actor, Aditi Govitrikar.

I am not someone who works out religiously, simply because I do not need to. Whenever I feel like I've put on weight I do yoga, cardio, use the treadmill, spinning and walking. I stay away from weights completely simply because I am irregular with my workouts and you put on weight if you stop.

HER MEAL MANTRA

I am a vegetarian, so I eat all the vegetables. I include a lot of salads and fruits daily. And yes, lots of water is an absolute essential. I stay away from fried food completely.

DIVYA PALAT

"I am a complete gym freak," says theatre actor Divya Palat.

My fitness regime includes gymming and more gymming. I am a complete gym freak. I prefer cardio as it helps me in water reduction and tones my body.

I also try and get in between five to seven kms on the treadmill daily. And yes, walking my dog is an exercise that I particularly enjoy.

Infact I love exercising so much that even my vacations include sport.

HER MEAL MANTRA

I am careful about what I eat. I eat brown bread instead of white or whole wheat, and turkey and chicken instead of red meats. I also eat whenever I am hungry; I am constantly munching on fruits and eat three to four apples everyday. Yes I do indulge myself once in a while. Oh and I drink a lot of water because it cleanses my system.
