The ultimate Lollywood workout we've all been waiting for

The ultimate Lollywood workout we've all been waiting for

You thought Lollywood was over? Think again.
21 Jun, 2019

Fitness is a big thing in Pakistan now — you've got your zumba, your yoga, your high-intensity interval training and more.

But wait, haven't we forgotten something?

LOLLYWOOD.

You may think Lollywood is over, but it ain't. We watched some of Lollywood's biggest films to show you what the industry's greatest contribution to Pakistani life could be — #fitspo.

Let this workout be your guide.

1) First, stretch that neck and chase your lady love around to warm up

Anjuman and her boy gang in 'Break Dance Bhabhi Break Dance' (Tiger, 1987) make sure to do a short cardio warm-up before jumping into stretches.

2) Now prance like you're in Riverdance

Word of advice: These guys may not be wearing the most practical workout gear, so rethink yours. Let's be honest: only Sultan Rahi can move that swiftly in leather pants.

3) Thrust your hips out coz you got the power

Sana's lightning fast moves put us to shame (literally). No wonder Moammar Rana can hardly keep his eyes off her in 'Pandi Aay Barsaat Way' (Humayun Gujjar).

4) Now do the waterfall

Here, Meera shows how to get sleek legs like hers in 'Saun Da Mahina' (Dada Badmash).

This one is sure to work your butt too; after all, Meera's booty ain't jhooti.

5) If you're feeling itchy, scratch that behind on the floor

Want Narghis' strong arms? Gotta work work work them triceps like her in 'Akh Teri Meri Sajna Larri Larri' (Badmash Gujjar, 2001).

6) Do a tuck and roll to loosen up your spine

Meera's dance moves 'Saun Da Mahina' show us just how to achieve her cinched waist.

Lift your hands and feet off the ground, and just roll to one side and then back. Add the additional thrust if need be, it seems to be Meera's signature move.

7) Leg extensions

Work those glutes! Nargis perfectly executes the leg tap without breaking into a sweat in 'Kurti Ae Gilli Gilli' (Babbu Khan, 2002).

This move also works your butt and abs.

8) Now swoosh

Repeat on the other side.

9) Find a tree, execute reverse push-up

Saima goes for some elevation to impress her boy Shaan in 'Dil Pyar Karnoon Karda' (Kalo Shah Puria).

This really puts in the muscle work for triceps, legs and abs, but be warned: this is more of an expert move so take care not to throw out your back.

10) Now flip it over and bounce off the floor

Be fierce like Nargis is in 'Akh Teri Meri Sajna Larri Larri.'

11) Grab your friends and do the criss-cross shuffle

Field optional.

The boys from Tiger show you how to get the most out of your cardio. Bonus points if you hold hands all the way through.

12) Don't forget to do a pit sniff to check your BO level

Because all that dancin' must've worked up a sweat.

Can you believe that's Ahsan Khan? Neither can we, but he owes his hot bod to his debut film Nikah (1998) alongside Nimra.

13) Wrap it up with a thumka — voila!

Saima and Nargis make one-leg circles and pelvic thrust squats look like a piece of cake in 'Kurti Ae Gilli Gilli'.

Repeat this workout three times over for best results and try not to double over with laughter, even though we know it's going to be hard.

actually it really requires one to be very strong to do these dance moves. I'm sure these girls must have spent hours and hours either rehearsing these moves or doing other workouts.

On a serious note this form of art is seriously neglected in pakistan, if we have a film industry that has singing and dancing as important part they must set up academies where these actors can learn to move their body gracefully. I don't think any actor in pakistan knows how to dance.

Totally senseless pictures. What is your cultural impact on your cinema? All funny. Have you ever noticed in most of Indian movies that they represent their culture in one way or the other. Be it different languages , dances, rituals, dresses, songs, music, architecture, locations, people, stories, role models, tribe, religious attributes, worship places, religion which make a movie great. Do you think that Pakistan have all these elements in their society. These are the main reasons which you lack absolutely and therefore you make movies below standard.

@pk One fails to see what is being presented here throw these wild , writhing body movements. The nearest comparison could be with the twitchy movements as seen in epilepsy. No art is represented and any body can perform them as long as one is prepared to let go sanctity and integrity of one's body. Educated lot livining inside or abroad will just have to keep wishing for emergence of better art in Pakistan.
