We all know Deepika Padukone has been training hard for her role in xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage. Before she left for Toronto, we saw a bunch of workout videos, in which she was being trained by celebrity trainer Yasmin Karachiwala.
And now, in an interview to Femina magazine, Deepika gave a few more details on what she’s doing to get the body she wants for the film. The actress decleared that she’s doing a lot more cardio, functional training and weight training to look her part.

Cardio, refers to exercises like running, walking, biking, swimming – anything that get your heart rate up to about 50-75% of your maximum. Functional training refers to doing exercises that use various muscles and joints to boost endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, etc. And weight training is main to building muscle and strength.
Not only that, but the actress will also be doing some stunt training in Los Angeles, which, we’re assuming, will be necessary to her character.
Deepika also revealed that she’s currently on a high protein diet, and is eating every two hours. However, she maintained that she’s staying away from supplements, as is using only natural foods to meet her nutrition goals.
While it’s obvious she’s putting in some extra work for this film, Deepika has really always been in great shape. That’s because she truly does believe in living a healthy lifestyle. She exercises regularly (“exercising 5 times a week” is her best beauty discovery), understands her body well, and eats in moderation. And the results are clear for all to see!
