Sonakshi Sinha opens up about her weight loss journey, revealing she once couldn’t run on a treadmill for more than 30 seconds. A candid, inspiring transformation.
Sonakshi Sinha was and is the greatest for her confidence and strong screen presence, but her personal fitness journey was relatively harsh. She opens up in a recent interview about the real struggles behind quick weight loss transformation: that she couldn’t run on a treadmill for more than 30 seconds. This actually hits home for all those fans who think that all celebrity fitness stories are pretty much made easy.
Sonakshi Sinha On Weight Loss Journey
Sonakshi admitted that she had some major challenging starting points for her fitness journey. As she was breathless in about seconds, and quite exhausted, she had had doubt whether she will be able to get through with it. “I couldn’t run for even 30 seconds on the treadmill. It was frustrating,” she admitted. It was a typical case of being a novice: poor stamina, irregularity, and self-doubt. But where others crumbled, she converted struggle into motivation.
She admitted, “Weight loss was very difficult for me because I was always an overweight kid. It took me 2.5 years (to lose weight). I realised it only during my college.” Interestingly, the 38-year-old also revealed, “I didn’t do it for vanity or to become an actor. I did it for health reasons. I was 18 and I couldn’t run on the treadmill for more than 30 seconds. That struck me once very badly. And I was like, I don’t want to live this unhealthy life.”
Step by Step Building Stamina
She begins mixing it up with strength training, cardio work, pilates, and functional exercises. Clearly, progress is no overnight miracle, but every passing week is showing little improvements. From 30 to one minute runs up to much longer runs, patience and discipline were forged in Sonakshi to help her push limits she once thought impossible with sheer physical effort.
She said, “I used to go to the gym. I used to do cardio, weight training, and I tried a variety of things. I used to do yoga. Eventually, I started Pilates.”
She also focused much on her posture correction and strengthening her core while working along with trainers who knew how to handle her body type. Not gradually transforming her fitness, but rather, her entire relationship with exercise is also reformulating building stamina.
Mind-set Over Numbers
For Sonakshi, weight loss isn’t tied to weight but rather it states feeling lighter, moving better, and gaining confidence. She also distinguished very-well the importance of being kind to oneself while in the process because, at times, things get heavy, but winning small battles keeps people motivated. Her message is quite simple: every journey to fitness starts somewhere, and sometimes it can seem tough at the beginning.
Sonakshi Sinha said, “I have always maintained a healthy body image. I don’t want to be someone who can’t inspire other girls. I didn’t have that role model when I was growing up. Your health and happiness are everything that matters.”
“There are thousands of exercises that you can do on those machines, so it’s never boring; you can do something new every day… I love working out on the Pilates reformer,” the actress stated.
A Transform-tion That Inspired Many
Now Sonakshi carries her transformation further and inspires thousands of women who find it hard to adapt to lifestyle changes. With the slow process of sustainable fitness, perseverance, and realistic goals, her story goes with it.
