Alia Bhatt Dominates Leg Day With Intense Squats, Bands, Barbell Work in Viral Video
Alia Bhatt’s trainer shares her intense leg-day routine featuring cardio, jumping squats, sumo squats, and barbell work.
Bollywood Star Alia Bhatt gave fans a glimpse of her gruelling leg-day routine on November 17, 2025, through an intense workout video shared by celebrity fitness trainer Karan Sawhney on Instagram. Titled “Legs Miserable With @aliaabhatt”, the reel showcases the 32-year-old actress powering through a series of lower-body exercises that left even seasoned gym-goers wincing in solidarity. Sawhney, who also trains Kriti Sanon, captioned the post simply with “#glutes #legs #workout”, instantly sending it viral among fitness enthusiasts and Alia’s followers.
The session began with a light treadmill jog for warm-up, followed by high-intensity jumping squats using resistance bands anchored with heavy dumbbells. Alia then moved to elevated sumo squats—feet placed wide on two benches while holding a dumbbell goblet-style—targeting the inner thighs and glutes. The toughest segment featured barbell back squats with added resistance bands around her thighs and a stability ball for controlled depth, ensuring maximum muscle activation. Throughout the clip, Alia flashed her trademark smile and victory signs, earning praise for both discipline and cheerfulness under pressure.
Fitness experts lauded the workout for its focus on compound movements that build overall strength, boost metabolism, and improve balance—benefits especially crucial for actors who perform high-energy stunts. Leg training engages the body’s largest muscle groups (quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes), leading to higher calorie burn even at rest and better injury prevention. Alia’s regimen aligns with her long-standing mix of Pilates, yoga, functional training, and weightlifting, which has kept her in peak form through demanding roles and motherhood.

The video quickly racked up millions of views, with fans flooding the comments with fire emojis and messages like “Queen of discipline” and “This is why her action scenes look so effortless.” Many tagged friends with the classic “This is our sign to hit leg day.” Alia has previously credited consistent training and balanced nutrition for her energy levels, especially while juggling her production banner Eternal Sunshine and back-to-back shoots.
On the work front, the actress is prepping for YRF Spy Universe’s Alpha alongside Sharvari, releasing Christmas 2025, where her physical preparation will be on full display in high-octane sequences. She will also reunite with husband Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic Love & War. As the clip continues to trend, Alia Bhatt has once again proven why she remains one of Bollywood’s fittest and most dedicated stars.
