However, there are always things you can do to balance it out and not let weight gain or poor health ruin the fun. Celebrity chef and actress Amrita Raichand knows just how to maintain this balance. In one of her recent posts on Instagram, she shared a circuit training workout routine - which could help her get off the Karwa Chauth fasting and then bingeing.
In her post, Amrita writes that it was important to "shake things up a bit" after nirjala fasting on Karwa Chauth and then binge eating after it. So in order to shake things up a bit, she chose to workout outside of the gym and try her hands on some circuit training.
Circuit training is considered to be one of the most effective forms of exercise. It includes exercises which are great for increasing heart rate and strengthening muscles. The exercise involves moving through multiple stations of exercises. Each exercise station targets a different muscle group.
There is little or no rest time between two exercise stations, and each station involves a different exercise.

Mentioning about the health benefits of circuit training in the caption of her post, Amrita writes, "A perfect mix of cardio & strength training that finishes your workout (and you) in less than 30 minutes making every muscle burn! Couldn't ask for a more refreshing start to the day though i'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow (sic)."
