For actress Gulfam Khan Hussain who is seen in 'Dhruv Tara - Samay Sadi Se Pare', fitness is all about being healthy, and not only thinner. The actress, who will soon be seen in a web series called Waack Girls that will stream on Amazon Prime, says that she realized the importance of being fit only after the pandemic.
Prioritizing Fitness: A Mindful Approach to Health and Well-being
“For me, being fit isn't about being smaller. Till a couple of years ago, I used to not workout seriously but the pandemic made me realise that being fit is very important. I have become a regular for workouts now. It makes your organs fitter too. As for diet, I'm not very strict about it. I eat everything albeit consciously,” she says.

Ask her how she manages to have a fitness routine, and she says, “You find time for yourself or you find an excuse... I choose the former. An hour of exercise is 4% of your day and all you need is approximately an active half an hour.”
She adds, “I do group workouts and I go for yoga twice a week. I keep changing my workout styles to avoid stagnation and boredom.”
As for her diet, she tried to have everything in moderation. “I have a sweet tooth and anyone who knows about people with sweet teeth is that they can avoid sweets for a while but not give up and then I'm a foodie too... So all goes in moderation,” she says.

Sharing fitness tips, she says, “Make sure to workout every day, any form, anywhere, for at least half an hour. Also, avoid eating sweets after 4:00 pm.”
For the actress, mental health is equally important as physical wellbeing. She says, “Mental health is as important as physical health and sometimes more, do what makes you happy, a walk in the forest or a night out with friends. My time is 15 minutes with myself and my plants when I wake in the morning. Reading a book at night and catching up with friends at least 3 times a week, I also have a bunch of hobbies.”
