On February 7, Trisha shared a glimpse into her rigorous training session on Instagram, proving that her fitness is backed by serious sweat equity and grit.
Trisha’s workout isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a comprehensive approach to functional strength, balance, and explosive power. Her routine incorporates a blend of compound movements and stability challenges that target every muscle group:
1. Kettlebell squat to overhead press
Trisha kicks off her circuit with a dynamic kettlebell movement. By transitioning from a deep squat into a full overhead press, she engages her glutes, quads, and core while simultaneously building shoulder stability.
2. Bulgarian split squats
Known as one of the most effective (and gruelling) lower-body exercises, Trisha utilises the Bulgarian split squat to isolate her quads and improve unilateral balance. This exercise is key for maintaining the lean, toned physique she is known for.
3. Stability training on the bosu ball
To challenge her core and proprioception, Trisha performs overhead dumbbell presses while standing on a bosu ball. This requires immense focus and small stabiliser muscle engagement to prevent a fall, highlighting her impressive athletic coordination.
Trisha is into heavy lifting and boxing
The actor isn’t afraid of big metal. The video features Trisha performing hex bar deadlifts, which are considered a safer alternative to the traditional barbell deadlift, allowing heavy loading while protecting the lower back.

Trisha’s transition from ‘just walking’ to a dedicated strength and conditioning program serves as an inspiration to fans. “Me, who once thought walking was enough, trying to power up for the weekend,” Trisha shared in her caption, reminding her followers that consistency and stepping out of one’s comfort zone are the true secrets to her fitness and beauty.
