Diwali 2022 fitness: Diwali is the time to light up our homes, declutter, meet friends and family and gorge on some good food. However, all the eating and the drinking, the mithais and the sharbats, mean that the festive season also adds to the extra flab! The love handles especially can be an irritant when you want to flaunt those beautiful ethnic clothes. While eating mindfully is a suggestion most fitness experts will give, it can be a tad difficult during the festive season. Yoga can be a good solution to deal with the festive flab. Celebrity yoga trainer Anshuka Parwani, who has trained big Bollywood stars including Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan, has taken to her Instagram account and has been sharing several videos, with the title 'Get Fit This Diwali'.
