What happened
NDTV reports that Manisha Koirala, 56, combined yoga stretches and dumbbell exercises in an Instagram workout.
Why it matters
Flexibility supports daily movement, while NHS guidance also recommends regular muscle-strengthening activity.
Remember this
Stretching and strength work serve complementary purposes.
What the sources establish
Workout details come from NDTV; the Instagram post was not independently checked. NHS guidance supports the health context, not claims about Koirala's personal results.
More context & who is affected
NDTV reports that actor Manisha Koirala, 56, paired yoga stretches with dumbbell exercises in a workout shared on Instagram.
The NHS says flexibility supports joint movement for daily tasks. It recommends strength work covering every major muscle group on two or more days weekly, not just stretching.
Start gradually. Dr Dharam Pandey tells NDTV to adapt mobility work to joint health and past injuries rather than force movement. A celebrity routine is not a personal prescription.
