‘Till you do not get a prescription, your health will deteriorate’: Shilpa Shetty urges everyone to prioritise fitness | Fitness News
Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s toned figure and sculpted abs are a result of hours spent in the gym and a dedicated focus towards nutrition and diet. She regularly takes to social media to share snippets of her workouts, inspiring her fans to start living healthy. In a recent conversation with Femina India, the Bollywood actor opened up about her motivation to stay fit.
“A lot of people ask me, how do I do this? I’m like, just make up your mind. Just start. All the rest will just follow. Make the will to want to make that change in your life,” she told the audience. “You will eat on time if it is prescribed. So, till you do not get a prescription, your health will deteriorate, and then you get a prescription and then you will eat on time,” said Kundra.
Making time to workout and eat healthy is a symptom of discipline – one borne out out of commitment to fit and active. According to personal trainer Deepika Sharma, you don’t need more time to exercise—you need better priorities.
“Movement isn’t an extra task, it’s a part of living. Walk during calls, stretch before coffee, take the stairs. Small choices stack up. If you’re ‘too busy,’ you’ve simply chosen something else over your health,” she said.

How can you get started?
Sharma suggested the following 4 ways in which you can incorporate fitness into your daily life, when it can feel impossible to make time for anything else.
1. Wake up, move. Before your brain makes excuses, stretch, do 10 squats, or a 30-sec plank. No thinking, just do.
2. Link movement to something unskippable—push-ups before coffee, a walk after lunch. Habits stack fast.
3. Make it default. Stairs over elevator. Stand over sit. Walk over scroll. Tiny choices compound.Story continues below this ad
4. Use what’s already there. Play with your kid? Squat while lifting them. Stuck in a call? Walk. No gym needed.
