Nargis Fakhri Reveals her 'Movement Is Medicine' fitness routine, combining pilates, strength training and sound therapy
Nargis Fakhri has always come across as someone who treats fitness as seriously as she has treated her film career, always considering her health as an important aspect. Her latest Instagram update shows exactly that which was captioned as “Movement is Medicine.”
The actor recently shared clips from a Pilates reformer session that mixed strength work with quiet recovery, ending the whole thing with sound therapy . It was not a hardcore gym grind, instead it was more like a deliberate way of taking care of both body and mind.
A reformer session that focuses on controlIn the video, Nargis appears in a simple olive green activewear set, moving through her routine with steady focus. She begins with leg presses and core work on the reformer, concentrating on lower-body strength and stability. From there she shifts into weighted squats while holding small handheld weights, targeting the glutes, quads and hamstrings.
Every movement seemed careful, the kind of training that builds strength without slamming the body into exhaustion.
She also worked the upper body with seated arm rows, using the reformer’s straps and pulleys to engage the back, shoulders and arms. The entire sequence feels measured and precise, the kind of session that rewards attention more than pure intensity.
Sound therapy as the cool-downWhat stands out most is how the workout ends. Instead of a regular stretch or foam-rolling routine, a man is seen striking a large brass gong while Nargis cools down. The moment shifts the energy completely.
After the controlled effort of the reformer work, the deep resonant sound creates space for the body and mind to settle. It is a clear reminder that recovery is part of the process, not an afterthought. For Nargis, the session is as much about balance and calm as it is about building strength.
Building her best self, one session at a timeThis is not the first time Nargis has let fans into her fitness world. Earlier she shared a longer gym video with the simple caption on the video, “POV: You are building your best self.” In that clip she moves through cycling, strength training , Pilates, hanging leg exercises, seated cable rows and battle ropes.
The message was being consistent in keeping your body fit. Fitness, for her, is not about chasing extremes. It is about showing up regularly and treating the body with a mix of effort and care.
Simple habits beyond the matHer approach extends past the workout itself. Nargis often shares the small habits that support her routine, including the green juice she makes at home. The recipe is straightforward: celery, spinach, lemon and ginger. She has called celery “super healthy” and noted that spinach helps make you strong.
Lemon brings vitamin C, often linked to skin health, while ginger is a familiar choice for digestion. These are not flashy superfood claims. They are everyday ingredients used in a simple, practical way.
What comes through in all of this is a quiet consistency. Nargis Fakhri’s wellness routine simply shows a woman choosing controlled movement, intentional recovery and small daily choices that feel sustainable.
