Malaika Arora is a fitness icon who swears by yoga and working out regularly. While we all love seeing her sport different kinds of stylish gym wear, it also proves that it takes a lot of effort and dedication to look the way she does. The gorgeous model-actress can carry off any outfit she wears effortlessly!

Now, in a recent social media post, Malla has once again given us some fitness inspiration. The yoga enthusiast has shared a picture of her acing the Utthita Vasisthasana, aka the side plank, and it's quite amazing how easily she seems to have done it.

Sharing the photo, Malaika Arora wrote, "First day of the month had to be a good start with #MalaikasMoveOfTheWeek. So go get your mats out and begin with the Utthita Vasisthasana Pose, also called as Side Plank."

Malaika also listed the many ways the side plank can help your body and mind. For starters, it helps with strengthening the arms, wrists, navel area and legs, and also helps to improve your sense of balance and focus.

Recently, the stunning actress shared a photo of herself performing the Sarvangasana, aka the shoulder stand, which as she wrote, 'stretches your shoulders and neck along with toning your legs and buttocks, and stimulates the thyroid and abdominal organs.'

Well, while we don't know if we'd be able to ace these yogasanas as well as Malaika herself, her posts sure fill us with a sense of motivation to finally get those yoga mats out and start stretching!
