Mumbai, Sep 15 Actress Elli AvrRam has talked about her approach to fitness and shared the importance of mental well-being and “lifting heavy weights”.
The actress had attended a book launch event. It was at the event, she spoke about her approach to her mental and physical health.
Elli shared: “I start my day with a 30-minute meditation session, which I practice every day. If I miss it, the entire day feels quite different compared to when I do it.”
She added: “Earlier, I enjoyed doing Pilates, but at a certain stage—maybe age-related or just a natural progression—I realized the importance of lifting heavy weights, especially for women. So now I include that in my routine as well.”
She talked about how she combines different forms of exercise to achieve a holistic lifestyle.
“Along with meditation and weight training, I mix in yoga and Pilates. These elements together allow me to work on both my mind and body, which I believe are deeply interconnected.”
“Yoga, for me, is not just about maintaining a lean body—it’s much deeper… it’s about holistic well-being, nurturing both physical and mental health,” she said.
Elli has also acted in Sweden, most notably in the 2008 crime-drama Forbjuden Frukt, where she played Selen, the teen girlfriend of the lead character.
