In one of her previous Instagram posts, Shilpa Shetty was seen performing a full-body compound movement workout routine, which included stretching and squats. The video featured the actress doing exercises that engaged all the muscles in the body and improved flexibility. Shilpa lifted a barbell with one hand while stretching to one side, then picked up the other from the opposite side. She then placed the barbells back, continuing the stretching routine throughout. She repeated this process several times to achieve the desired results.
The side note read, "Compound moves. Compound results. Benefits of Compound Movement - Targets entire body. Primary muscles worked: Back, Inner Thighs (Adductors), Glutes, and Core. Can be done as a warm-up before starting a weight training session or as a finisher."
