So even when you brush your teeth, you’re working the muscles.’Salma also relies on restorative yoga, saying: ‘She taught me to tone my muscles without clenching them. ‘You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you’re aware of your body, you’d be surprised by the effect it can have.’While not completely averse to traditional workout methods, Salma does occasionally hop on the treadmill, but instead of running on the pad she prefers to dance on it.
