Ananya Panday is the newest celebrity to try her hand at the hip thrust exercise that targets the glutes. After Alia Bhatt and Khushi Kapoor, Ananya did the weighted variation of the hip thrust exercise. She lifted 120 kg at the gym. But it's her reaction after the routine that caught our attention. 

Ananya Panday's reaction after lifting 120 kg during hip thrusts

Ananya Panday shared a video from her workout routine on her Instagram story. The clip shows Ananya exercising as her trainer guides her. The actor did hip thrusts exercise with 120 kg weights. "120 kg weeee. What doesn't kill you makes you you [flexing muscle and melting face emojis]," she captioned the post.

Ananya did six repetitions of the hip thrust exercise while lifting 120 kg. Once she completed the reps, an exhausted Ananya looked done with the routine and laughed at herself for acing the workout while her trainer appreciated her. We have all felt the same way, like the actor after a gruelling gym routine.

What are hip thrusts and their benefits?

A form of glute exercise, hip thrusts help extend the hip or pull the leg behind the body. It is performed using a hip thrust machine, strengthening the hip, buttocks, and quadricep muscles. The exercise also builds stronger glutes, boosts balance, and helps stabilise the pelvis, lower back, and knees.

What Ananya wore to the gym?

Ananya chose a minimal all-black ensemble for the exercise routine. The actor wore a black sports bra, a baggy sleeveless T-shirt, and matching gym shorts. She completed the look with her hair tied in a messy top knot and bare face.
