The video and the pictures made her fans take notice of her sheer willpower and many, including Hrithik, who commented with “Yay, yay, yay!” and Rakesh with a “Keep going, more power to you”, lauded her efforts. In fact, Hrithik’s trainer Kris Gethin also commented, “Awesome to hear!! 2023 is yours for the taking”.
Explaining her moves, Rachit Dua, co-founder of Fitpathshala, an online fitness academy said that Pinkie can be seen doing a compound movement which involves multiple joint actions. “She seen is doing a goblet squat, followed by biceps curl (as she is seen flexing her arms in order to lift the equipment). Subsequently, a clear pressing movement that involves anterior deltoid and triceps can also be seen. In a nutshell, she is training her legs, arms and shoulders all together,” Dua told indianexpress.com.
The expert added that the compound movement allows one to “burn more calories within this single exercise”. Also, that the heavy bag equipment, owing to their weight, have numerous benefits, provided the practitioner’s fitness levels are at its peak. “A person has to pick it up as per his/her capacity, which gradually increases,” said Dua.
Such free-weight exercises improve aerobic fitness, core stability, coordination, power, stamina, and endurance while strengthening the bones and ligaments. “Only those struggling with lower back issues should avoid. They should first do supported exercises. Once the lower back muscles are strengthened, they can attempt such free weight exercises,” Dua added.
This is, however, not the first time Pinkie impressed with her fitness routine. She has, on multiple occasions, shared glimpses of her fitness outings. Here are some notable ones.
