Actress Bipasha Basu, who will next feature in an athletic avatar in Vikram Bhatt's "Creature", has taken to the TRX Rip trainer, a portable training tool, to develop a toned physique for the film.
TRX Rip trainer is a huge fad in Singapore and the 34-year-old feels that the tool will help her in attaining a "leaner and toned" body.
"I saw TRX Rip training in Singapore and I bought it. I will start shooting for my thriller 'Creature' from June and I need a particular kind of body for the film. I have to be much leaner and toned. I had put on a little weight for my last film 'Aatma' and need to lose that," Bipasha said in a statement.
"Rip Training utilizes a lever bar and resistance cord that challenges the body in all three planes of motion - reps, sets and workout. It utilizes the same asymmetrical loading we encounter every day, like carrying groceries, picking up your child, throwing a ball, or performing athletic movements such as swimming, running, and biking," she added.
The actress also feels that "'Creature' requires a lot of physical work hence she needs to be fit".
"I need another couple of weeks to get to the shape I want to achieve," she said.
