On days when we find it hard to leave our beds and hit the gym, Zareen Khan serves us the right kind of motivation. Her latest Instagram post is proof enough. The actress kickstarted her weekend by executing a set of banded pull-ups under the guidance of her fitness instructor Saif Qureshi. Zareen was seen balancing on a rope. She grasped the iron bar above her head and pulled her body up and down in repeated motions. Her first attempt at it seemed easy but isn't. "Did assisted pull-ups today. Feeling proud of myself because I could never do a pull-up and today, I managed quite a few reps. It looks easy because of the band support but it definitely isn't. Thank you, Saif Quresh, for motivating me to do this," read her side note. This particular workout strengthens the biceps, rhomboids and trapezius. It builds overall strength, promotes muscle activation, enhances endurance and reduces the risk of injury.

Who says workouts have to be dull and boring? Take cues from Zareen Khan smiling her way through hardcore exercises. Earlier, the Hate Story 3 actress ran on a treadmill which is a great activity to burn those calories. After that, she shifted her attention to a series of pull-ups with a rope. While Zareen's trainer Karan Sawhney was there to motivate her, the video was recorded by Saif Qureshi. Planks came next in her aerobic itinerary, but she incorporated an element of challenge into the workout by lifting dumbbells. She also carried out a brilliant low-mountain climbing exercise on the floor.
Before that, Zareen Khan attempted gymnastics for the first time. Gymnastics increase flexibility, body coordination, endurance and strength. It encourages healthy bone density and improves balance. "To New Beginnings. Gymnastics is something I always wanted to learn... Feeling happy and proud, looking forward to learning a lot more," read her caption.
