Mum and VJ Maria Goretti has lost oddles of weight and is looking fitter than ever!Mum and VJ Maria Goretti has lost oddles of weight and is looking fitter than ever!

A combination of a few easy exercises and healthy eating has worked wonders for mum Maria Goretti.

Maria Goretti has donned several hats over the past few decades. She was a successful VJ, anchor and choreographer before she married actor Arshad Warsi and became a star wife.

She then progressed to the role of a mother (son Zeke and daughter Zene) and today she has added another feather to her hat- that of a successful celebrity chef.

But in all these changes in her life one thing has remained constant- her love for fitness. She doesn't stop herself from eating anything but manages to stay in shape with exercise.

Cardio, functional training and weights are the secret!

I was never the skinny kid. Honestly, I never wanted to be. I love food and there's nothing I won't eat. But I run and I work it off. Diets were never my thing," she recently shared with a daily.

However, over the past few months her inclination towards fitness has perhaps increased even further, leading to Goretti losing oodles of weight.

She is looking fitter than ever in her 40s and has been sharing her secret with her Instagram followers.

Goretti posted a series of videos of her exercise routines and showed everybody how she manages to keep excess weight off through cardio, weight training and even functional training.

Eating right is the biggest mantra

Being a culinary artist Goretti also tries to eat healthy and incorporate the same habits in her kids as well.

"I struggle to keep my kids healthy, and I think every mom goes through this. Moms love it when their kids eat, but at least provide them with one healthy meal a day. Kids need to be informed what's good and bad for them. Like I tell my kids, you can't have burger every day—I make them conscious for what they eat, but let them have fun," she recently shared with a daily.

A healthy mixture of eating right and exercising on a daily basis is what keeps Goretti active and healthy. But the fact that she knows her body type and works out accordingly has also been big help, it seems.

Know your body to lose weight faster

Similarly, if you are also trying to lose weight, it's important to first understand your body type and exercise accordingly. Celebrity fitness expert Vinod Channa explains the three body types and the kind of exercises that work best on each.

"There are three basic human body types: the Endomorph, the Mesomorph, and the Ectomorph. An Endomorph has narrow hips and clavicles, small joints (wrist/ankles) thin build, stringy muscle and long limbs whereas an Ectomorph is blocky one and has thick rib cage, wide/thicker joints, hips as wide (or wider) than clavicles and shorter limbs. A Mesomorph will look well-proportioned even with a little added weight. They have wide clavicles, narrow waist, thinner joints, long and round muscle bellies," he explains.

  • Exercises for an Ectomorph body type: You should concentrate on gaining weight in the form of good, lean muscle tissue. Weight training should be fairly heavy and done at a slower workout pace with longer rest periods between sets. Don't weight train too often or for too long per training session. Eat a diet high in quality foods, eat more than you're used to, and eat often.
  • Exercises for an Endomorph body type: Your biggest concern should be losing fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle-to-fat ratio, which will help to boost your metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace, allowing for very little rest between sets and exercises. Lower your calorie intake and eat frequent but small meals to make sure you're still getting adequate nutrition. Eliminate sugar, sweets, and junk food from your diet. Get your heart pumping by engaging in some form of daily activity such as brisk walking or biking.
  • Exercises for a Mesomorph body type: You have a naturally fit body but, to maintain or improve it, you should adopt an exercise and diet regimen that compliments your build. You can strength train more often and for longer periods of time, but be careful not to overdo it. Train with moderate to heavy weights and keep a moderate pace, making sure not to rest too long between sets. You'll find you gain muscle quite easily. Don't fear; you won't get "bulky. When you're happy with your muscle size, simply train to maintain. Stick to a good, healthy diet to stay lean and muscular, and watch for any slow-creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, but be careful not to overdo it.
