From rock bottom to zenith
Sara famously admitted that once her mother failed to recognise her at the airport, and she vowed not to speak to her until she had achieved the right fitness level. She made sure to work on her fitness by finishing her college earlier and devoted the extra time to work on herself.
The hardest bits
Sara says that shifting from regularly eating burgers and pizzas to salads and juices was very hard. But to ensure that her fitness levels did not drop, she made it a habit to indulge only in a while. And to maintain her body she underwent rigorous exercises of all kinds, from cardio to cycling, and from boxing to crossfit.
Her favourite active routine
Sara thoroughly enjoyed Pilates during her exercise experimentation phase. And she has stuck to Pilates ever since she tried all the exercises and currently trains with celebrity Pilates instructor Namrata Purohit.
