Mrunal Thakur's Pilates Routine Is All About That Perfect Side Stretch
Mrunal Thakur always makes time for fitness. Whether she is hitting the gym or powering through Pilates, the Hi Nanna actor is all about balance, consistency and strength. Her fitness game is always on point, and a recent snapshot from a Pilates session is the fitspiration we didn't know we needed.
Fitness trainer Namrata Purohit shared this moment on her Instagram Stories. In the photo, Mrunal Thakur was seen doing a side stretch on a Pilates reformer machine – a move that boosts flexibility, tones the core and sharpens balance. Her posture was both graceful and strong, perfectly showcasing the control and focus this workout demands.
Rocking a matching sky-blue athleisure set, Mrunal proved that you can sweat and slay at the same time.
This stretch might look simple, but it engages the obliques, strengthens the legs and improves spine mobility - exactly what you need to feel stronger and lighter.

Mrunal Thakur is a fan of Pilates. Back in January, she gave fans a peek into her routine. In one clip, she was seen doing Pilates on a reformer – stretching back smoothly, pulling resistance bands and showing off serious control and flexibility. She made it look super calm and easy.
In another video from the same post, Mrunal Thakur showed up at the gym in style and totally crushed pistol squats using suspension straps. She added ankle weights to take her fitness game up a notch. Pistol squats are amazing for building lower body strength, especially in your quads and glutes, and they really help with balance too.

Olivia Dunne is all smiles in her summer swimsuit look while enjoying downtime with Paul Skenes
Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne enjoys a laid-back golf day as MLB season heats up (Getty Images) Pittsburgh Pirates' rising star Paul Skenes has been nothing short of electric on the mound this season, yet his efforts haven't translated into consistent wins. On Sunday, the 23-year-old right-hander turned in another gem, pitching into the eighth inning for the third time in his last five outings. He gave up just one unearned run in the third but was again handed a no-decision. Olivia Dunne ditches gym gear for golf swings and sunshine with Paul Skenes on the east coast Despite boasting a stunning 1.52 ERA over 53.1 innings in recent appearances, Skenes has come away with only one win in his last eight starts. Overall, he's 4-6 across 14 games this season, but his remarkable 1.88 ERA and minuscule 0.84 WHIP clearly underscore his dominance. Off the field, Skenes seems to have found a sense of balance thanks to his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne. The social media sensation has been offering fans a closer look at their downtime together. Her recent Instagram post titled 'east coast summer' delighted followers with a carousel of serene snapshots—including a candid of Skenes golfing, a quiet escape from the pitching pressure. Dunne, who rose to fame as an LSU gymnast, has effortlessly transitioned into a model and influencer.

Connor McDavid's wife sparks outrage with anti-Panthers 'rat' jab after Oilers' embarrassing defeat
Lauren Kyle takes a playful shot at the Panthers (Getty Images) Despite the Edmonton Oilers' crushing 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Connor McDavid's wife, Lauren Kyle, isn't letting the loss dampen her spirits. While her husband and his teammates may have been down after the game, Kyle remains fiercely optimistic about the Oilers' chances for a comeback. In a spirited Instagram post, she managed to both trash-talk and support her husband's team in a way only she could. Lauren Kyle takes a playful shot at the Panthers with a social media post In the wake of the Oilers' loss, Lauren Kyle posted an image of the Alberta Rat Control Program, which was set up in 1950, humorously implying that the Panthers' mascot—representing the "rats"—wouldn't stand a chance against the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. Kyle's cheeky social media jab highlighted the efforts Alberta has taken to keep rats away from its cities. "Ain't no way the Panthers are winning against the Oilers at the Stanley Cup Finals two times in a row," she quipped, delivering the message with a wink and a nod to the resilience of the Oilers and their fans. This playful yet pointed remark added some levity to what was a tough night for the Oilers. After a 6-1 blowout loss, the team has to rally and prepare for the next game in Miami with renewed hope. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Oilers' defeat and the importance of staying mentally strong While the game was dominated by the Panthers, with six players contributing to the scoreline, the Oilers' lone goal from Corey Perry did little to help them avoid a lopsided result. The Panthers' use of home-ice advantage played a huge role in the win. Edmonton's defense was shaky, and goaltender Stuart Skinner allowed five goals before being replaced by Calvin Pickard, who gave up one more in the third period. Despite the scoreline, McDavid remains optimistic about bouncing back. "Obviously, not our best," he said after the game, acknowledging the mistakes but emphasizing that the team still has the chance to level the series. Also Read: Sam Bennett's future in Florida uncertain: Panthers playoff star may walk after Stanley Cup run With Lauren Kyle's fiery encouragement and McDavid's leadership, the Oilers will look to even the series when they head into Game 4. The psychological toll of the loss could weigh heavily, but McDavid's focus remains on what lies ahead, rather than dwelling on past mistakes. As Kyle continues to show her unwavering support, the Oilers will need to be mentally sharp as they prepare for another battle in Florida. Will they rise to the occasion, or will the Panthers' tactics continue to dominate? Only time will tell.
