Bollywood’s fitness diva Malaika Arora keeps sharing some fun and quirky fitness inspiration with all her fans and followers. Malaika, who indulges in a mix of yoga and other forms of exercise, took to her social media to share a yoga reel, but with a twist.
The twist in #Malaikasmoveoftheweek is that she added a yoga prop this time to keep her workout game on point. She surely seems to be a big fan of ‘danda yoga’, which involves the use of a stick. She stated some of the reasons why ‘danda yoga’ is one of her favourite forms.
* It is a fabulous workout to reduce belly fat, especially the area around your waist.
* It gives a stretch to the muscles of the arms, legs, and spine.
* It relaxes the body thoroughly.
“Try adding a prop to your workout – something as simple as a bottle of water, or a towel. It will enhance your workout and will give you a welcome break,” she wrote in her caption.
