Katrina Kaif‘s fitness commitment has been known to her fans and followers for the longest time but for her upcoming film Tiger 3 with Salman Khan, she recalled that she pushed her limits even when her body was giving up.
“For me, when Tiger time comes, it’s about pushing my limits, testing my endurance, and finding that strength within. Someone once told me, “Pain is just another sensation “ ….Don’t be afraid of it , don’t run from the pain. Many days, I was so tired; it felt different this time…tougher. My body was sore, but I would tell myself to take it as a challenge and see how much I could face today,” said Kaif in a note on Instagram.
Kaif, 40, said that during training, “we created an alter ego”. “So even if I was tired, SHE wasn’t tired; she was going to war!…. Your mind will stop you much before your body does. Once you decide, commit, and do it… no matter what! And the work is ALWAYS worth it,” she added.
In the video glimpses shared, Kaif can be seen performing a variety of workouts with weights like Plie squats with kettlebell, and walking front leg raises.

Kaif’s commitment is sure to rub on you too. But what’s the best way to go about one’s fitness training when the body feels sore? Here are some expert-approved measures to keep in mind.
Fitness expert Garima Goyal shared the following:
1. Rest: Give your body time to heal and rebuild the muscles. Avoid overtraining and allow for adequate rest between intense workouts.
2. Stretch: Gentle stretching can help alleviate muscle soreness and improve flexibility. Focus on the most sore areas.
3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which helps flush out toxins and reduces muscle cramps.
4. Nutrition: Consume a balanced diet with adequate protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to support muscle recovery.
5. Ice or heat: Applying ice or heat can help relieve soreness. Ice is good for acute inflammation, while heat can be soothing for muscle tightness.
6. Gentle activity: Light, low-impact activities like walking or swimming can help improve blood flow and reduce stiffness.
7. Massage: A professional massage or self-massage with a foam roller can ease muscle tension.
8. Sleep: Ensure you get adequate, quality sleep as it plays a crucial role in recovery and muscle repair.
9. Listen to your body: If the soreness is severe or persistent, consider consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any injuries or underlying issues.
