The internet was quick to comment on Natalie Portman's muscular arms when photographs of her in Thor: Love and Thunder appeared. Portman reprises her role as Jane Foster/The Mighty Thor in the Marvel picture, which will be released on July 8. She is now wielding Mjolnir, Thor's Hammer, and she has the ability to throw lightning. Also read: 'Thor: Love and Thunder': Who is Gorr, the God Butcher?,Naomi Pendergast of Australia's RPX Fitness was in charge of getting the actress ripped, growing Portman's biceps, and giving her abdominal definition. Commenting on what muscle group they chose to focus on, Pendergast said, “The goal and initial brief for working with Natalie was to develop arm and abdominal definition. However, to safely get Natalie to this goal without injury we worked to condition her body first for about four months. This meant we could safely up the load to bulk her up without negatively affecting her joints.”,Also read: Batman actor Christian Bale didn't know what MCU was: Report,“We started five months before filming and continued to train throughout the filming process to maintain her muscle. The total time we trained for the movie was around 10 months,” she added. Asked particularly about how they planned to help Portman bulk up her arms, Pendergast said, “Initially, it was about prepping Natalie’s body for the heavyweights to avoid injury. We worked on building her upper body three times a week, which included arm, back, chest exercises, boxing, skipping, and running. The other two days were dedicated to injury prevention work, which included Pilates-based exercises, stretching, release work, and balance exercises.”,Describing her warm-up routine, the trainer said, “Warming up would usually consist of various body-weight, Swiss ball, or band exercises to fire up the system and get the body connecting well. Stretches are sometimes included in the warmup, but I mostly use exercises that activate weak muscles rather than just stretching the tight muscles. Warming up in this way ensures everything is switching on as it should before we put heavy loads onto her body.”,Also read: Love and Thunder: An ex and Gorr the God Butcher walk into Thor's life,“Natalie’s role was very physical and required her to do quite a bit with her upper body. Overall, she managed to get through everything really well without any major injuries. There were a few days after long stunt sessions where she pulled up a little sore in the wrists and neck, but she was able to overcome this with some release work from massage,” she clarified. “We worked every day for around 1½-2 hours, depending on her schedule. Once filming started, Natalie’s schedule was very busy so we would train early, around 4:30 a.m. before she started for the day,” Pendergast revealed, adding, “Initially, we trained at her house — as it was in the middle of lockdown — which meant using mainly free weights to do our training. Once filming started, we were able to work out in a gym, which meant we had access to a lot more for our sessions, which was great.”,Also read: Natalie Portman unveils Mighty Thor poster from 'Thor: Love and Thunder',Nutrition being an essential part of any workout regime, Portman also focused on getting on the right diet. “Natalie is an extremely healthy person with a very wholesome and clean diet, so we did not have to make any major changes to her food. Natalie is a vegan, so for her to get enough protein to bulk up the way she needed we had to increase her daily amount by adding vegan-based protein powders a couple of times a day,” Pendergast described. A typical upper-body strength session would include a good warmup that included body-weight exercises, bands, and gliding discs and focused on bringing the upper body into alignment so they could optimise the strength gains. Also read: 'Thor: Love and Thunder' teaser amasses 209 million views in a day,They would next perform a major set of exercises, including supersets, with a one-minute stretch rest between every set. Superset 1:,• Dumbbell row — 10 slow reps,• Body-weight offset pushup — 10 slow reps,• Lat stretch (rest exercise),Superset 2:,• Dumbbell reverse fly — 10 slow reps,• Dumbbell seated shoulder press — 10 slow reps,• Back stretch (rest exercise),Superset 3:,• Standing dumbbell arm raise (palms up) — 20 slow reps,• Assisted pull ups — 6-8 controlled reps,• Roll up (rest exercise),Superset 4:,• Dumbbell bicep curl — 10-12 reps,• Dumbbell triceps press — 15 reps,• Upper body rotation stretch (rest exercise),Boxing and skipping round – 4-5 sets of:,• 2 minute boxing,• 1 minute skipping,• 2 x 50m sprints,• Rest 1.5 minutes,Core work and stretching,• Abdominal plank on elbows — 1 minute,• Side plank on elbow — 1 minute each side,• Basic curl focused on pelvic control,• Foot, leg and hip stretches

While a person’s menstrual cycle can be a very painful and uncomfortable experience for them, some may prefer to exercise even when on their period. While there are no proven negative effects of exercising during menstruation, a few people could experience pain, dizziness, nausea, etc. when doing so. For others, it may even relieve menstrual pain and other symptoms. However, no regimen is rigid and exercise routines can be modified according to one’s needs. Also read: A bearded pet dragon gets stuck in a SpongeBob SquarePants toy, see photos,Here are a few ways to exercise during your period:,Walking is a low-intensity exercise that can be an option for people who experience severe menstrual symptoms.

Also read: Strawberry supermoon: When and where to see it?,Yoga can not only help exercise the body, but also significantly helps in reducing menstrual cramps and other symptoms.

However, it is advised that menstruators reduce the quantity and intensity of these exercises, and consider going easy on their body. This activity, besides benefitting flexibility, is also a key exercise that helps alleviate pain during periods. Activities such as Zumba have been said to reduce the intensity and length of the menstrual cycle. The fact that it requires music is also excellent for relaxation and improving mood.

Exercising for 90 minutes after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine shot could provide an enhanced antibody response, a recent study has found. ,Researchers at the Iowa State University looked at 70 healthy adults and 80 mice who were given both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine or the influenza vaccine jabs. The results showed that those who exercised for 90 minutes right after their shot produced more antibodies than people who did not -- without any side effects from the physical workout. ,Also Read: One nasal droplet of coronavirus can get you infected with COVID-19: Study,The kinds of exercises that the study examined included cycling on a stationary bike, brisk walking, and with mice and treadmills, according to a report by The New York Times. ,Published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, the findings are preliminary at best and need to be tested in a large group. But they do indicate that physical activity could be beneficial in the body's fight against the coronaviruses causing these infections. ,Also Read: New 'highly virulent' HIV strain found; here is why you need not worry,The study revealed that 45 minutes of exercise was not enough to increase the antibody response significantly. Instead, the response was the highest after an hour and a half of moderate exercise -- consistent among people irrespective of their fitness levels. ,Also Read: Novel coronavirus may remain active for much longer in some patients: Study,Carmine Pariante, a professor at King’s College London who is the editor of the journal the study appeared in, said, It is important to remember that quite a sustained effort was needed, 90 minutes at an increased heart rate. The combination of three different vaccines in humans and in an animal model is a unique strength of this study,” according to the New York Times. ,The team hopes to study the effectiveness of a 60-minute workout or exercises of varying intensities on the immune response after vaccination. But for now, it is clear that physical activity immediately after the jab could prove beneficial for individuals. “If you have the time and a safe place to exercise after your vaccination,” a moderate 90-minute exercise session may could aid your vaccine response, said Marian Kohut, a professor of kinesiology and member of the Nanovaccine Institute at Iowa State, who led the research.

All of us know at least one fitness freak whose life revolves around the gym, protein shakes, and dieting.

Now at this point, if someone tells you walking is not really an exercise, what would you do? Relax, we are not saying that. Yet. Let's find out what experts have to say on this. (fingers crossed),Also Read: Is Yoga recommended for kids? 5 easy poses a child can begin with,While health experts suggest that walking is a great way to keep your calories and weight in check, it is not really an exercise. Dr Manjunath Sukumaran, holistic health coach, chief facilitator, and founder of Harmony Wellness Concepts says walking is not an exercise or a full workout by itself. According to Sukumaran, an ideal workout routine has three main steps- endurance training, resistance training, and flexibility. This means one must include a high-intensity exercise such as push-ups or jump roping to name a few along with some floor exercises and weight training. Then why should we walk?,Though walking is not an intensive exercise to get you in your desired shape, there no going around the fact that it is one of the best ways to keep your heart, lungs and metabolism healthy. Especially in the COVID times, when our lungs are at the greatest risk, it is absolutely necessary to keep your lungs healthy. ,According to experts, walking for over 25 to 30 minutes per day is an effective way to improve heart health and lung capacity. While walking has its own set of benefits, it is important to combine it with some muscle exercises to improve blood sugar levels, aging process and muscle mass.

Patna, Bihar, India

COVID-19 has forced all of us to stay inside our homes and it is getting difficult day by day to stay active and workout, affecting health of people. ,Though gyms have been allowed to open, it is still not very safe to go there. We all have become couch potatoes during this lockdown and let us agree even if we want to workout we do not have required equipment. These all are challenging our lifestyle physically and mentally. What if we told you there are multiple alternatives to workout, which we usually do at gyms. That too without any of those bulky and expensive equipment. So, all you fitness junkies and who so ever wants to be fit staying at home, here's list a few alternate exercises that can be done at home at any time of the day. Make use of your stairs: Do you guys have any idea how useful those stairs can be for our health. We all have a tendency to use elevators or escalators in shopping centres or even in our homes. So, stop using elevators and escalators and start using stairs and make it a habit. Even if you are not going out at all, use the stairs at your homes. Trust me, this will be utterly beneficial for you. Resistance Band or Skipping ropes: These two can be used for all basic exercises. Name it and here these two are for your rescue. Whether it is stretching, jumping, splitting, squats, biceps or any other exercise, a full body workout can be achieved through these two, staying at home. Lazy bud, try yoga: To those of you who literally hate doing any workout but still want to be healthy, try yoga. They are easy and best for the beginners. Yes, the results will take time to show up, but it will definitely do. ,Keeping a check on food, water and sleep cycle: Remember any workout or yoga will only be beneficial if you have a healthier food habit, hydrated body and a regular sleep cycle. ,This lockdown has forced us to eat a lot more than before, but try controlling that. Try eating in smaller plates, which will automatically decrease your food portion. Add salads to your meal and salads need not to be fancy. It can be any fruit or vegetable available in your kitchen. Tomatoes, Cucumber anything. Also try having meals on time. Try keeping your body hydrated and do not compromise on your water consumption. Have minimum 3 litres of water daily and make a habit of drinking lukewarm water empty stomach every morning. Lastly, your sleep cycle. Improve it if you haven't because this can affect your face, body and mind severely. Don't skip your night sleep, there is no alternative for that. Also try sleeping atleast 6-8 hours every night. Don't be awake after 11 and do not sleep till late. Try to start following these and trust be your lifestyle during lockdown will not be much different from the lifestyle you had before this.
