Train Your Core Like Malaika Arora: Quick Lower Abs Workout Explained
Last Updated: Malaika Arora stays dedicated to fitness and recently shared a lower abs workout, encouraging fans to train their core with leg lifts. Malaika Arora stands out as a celebrity who truly practices what she preaches—maintaining a consistent fitness routine without fail. She frequently offers her followers a peek into her workout sessions, motivating them to prioritise their health and embrace an active lifestyle. Whether it's an early morning workout or an intense gym day, Malaika remains dedicated and never misses a session. Recently, Malaika shared an Instagram post featuring a workout specifically designed to sculpt the lower abs quickly. She captioned it, 'Your core is your power center—train it like it matters," and recommended performing two sets of thirty leg lifts each. Place your palms facing down, tucking your hands just beneath your glutes to create a small support or 'shelf" that eases the leg raise. Press your lower back firmly into the floor or mat throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Arching your back can cause strain. Keep your chin slightly tucked and lower your legs slowly toward the floor, ideally stopping a few inches above it. You may keep your neck neutral (looking up) if more comfortable, but tucking your chin helps maintain spinal alignment. Lower your legs only as far as you can without letting your lower back lift off the floor. If you can't raise your legs back up after lowering them, lift them less next time. Engage your core as you lift your legs back up to the starting position. Breathe naturally—inhale while lowering, exhale while lifting—or find a rhythm that suits you, but avoid holding your breath. Benefits of Leg Raises Helps reduce fat around the lower abdomen and legs Strengthens and tones muscles in the abdomen and legs Targets and sculpts the lower abdominal muscles effectively Engages hamstrings, calf muscles and glutes for overall leg strength Can be performed comfortably even while lying down in bed Enhances focus and mental concentration Malaika's workout is a simple yet powerful move that anyone can incorporate into their fitness routine to build a strong core and toned lower body.

Thug Life box office collection day 1 early estimate: Kamal Haasan film unlikely to surpass Indian 2's first day numbers
Thug Life box office collection day 1 early estimate: Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's latest collaboration Thug Life finally hit theatres on Thursday. Even after opening to poor reviews from critics and the audience, the film is off to a decent start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Thug Life has collected Rs. 13.25 crore in India, as of 9 pm on Thursday. Due to the negative response, the action-drama is unlikely to even surpass opening numbers (Rs 26 crore) of Haasan's Indian 2, which was a disaster at the box office. According to Sacnilk, Thug Life recorded an overall Tamil-language occupancy of 48.72% on Thursday. Morning shows saw 50.66% occupancy, afternoon shows registered 50.35%, and evening shows dipped to 45.15%. Pondicherry reported the highest occupancy so far at 69.33%. The Mani Ratnam film is unlikely to rank in the biggest Tamil openers list of this year. Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly is the biggest Tamil opener of 2025 with Rs. 28.15 crore. The second spot belongs to Vidaamuyarchi at Rs. 25.5 crore, followed by Suriya's Retro at Rs. 17.25 crore. ALSO READ | Thug Life Review: Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam's 'game of thrones' is a cinematic endurance test Besides the poor reviews, Thug Life may also have been affected by the ban in Karnataka. The controversy around its ban originated after a statement made by Kamal Haasan during a promotional event. While addressing the audience, he had said, 'Your language (Kannada) was born out of Tamil.' The actor's remark offended many Kannadigas and led to strong reactions from several pro-Kannada groups. Haasan refused to apologise for his statement, which sparked a huge row, leading to the ban of the movie. An excerpt from SCREEN's Thug Life review read, 'Mani Ratnam has delivered what is arguably his weakest film to date, the Kamal Haasan-starrer Thug Life. Worse still, the only way one could even identify it as a Mani Ratnam film is the grandiosity of its visuals and the occasional brilliance of its long shots. If not for these, Thug Life would have felt like an unending gangster drama, crafted by an overambitious filmmaker (anyone, really) whose only asset was ambition and nothing more.' Directed by Mani Ratnam and produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies, Thug Life also features Trisha Krishnan, T.R. Silambarasan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, and Mahesh Manjrekar in pivotal roles.
