Recently, she shared on her Instagram story that she's keeping up with her fitness routine while in Hawaii, captioning it, "@formbylex When you do sculpt outside in Hawaii, it's just like being in class."

She Has A Positive Approach To Exercise

Gellar shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Shape. She says that she has developed a positive approach to exercise. "I think it's become more emotional. [Exercise] used to be, sort of, 'I have to do this, this is my job, this is work.' But I think there's an emotional component too, which is, it's what clears my mind. When I work out for an hour, I can sort of let everything else go, and I just focus on whatever the movement is and making sure it's correct."

She Puts Herself First

Gellar makes sure to take care of herself. She tells Shape that this is her form of self-care. "I've been flying a lot and it's the old adage of put your mask on first and then you put your child's on," she explained. "And it's counterintuitive because as a parent, you just want to take care of your child, but the truth is if I don't take care of me, I can't take care of you. So that, to me, is self care."

She Cares for Her Skin

Gellar has amazing skin and she makes sure to take care of it. She revealed to Shape that her biggest secret is washing her face each night. "I treat my skin nicely, and it's not necessarily this specific product per se…But it's about making sure that every night, I wash my face. And it's not just wash it and go to bed. I wash it, I rub it, I prep it, I give it minerals, you know, the same way you would treat the rest of your body."

She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Gellar shared more wellness secrets in an interview with WhoWhatWear. She says that when it comes to fitness, she does a lot of different things. "I love PlateFit and the feeling of being on a Power Plate," Gellar revealed. "I love how quickly I can work out and get such a great exercise, I love Pilates because it centers me and it also strengthens my body, but I also love being outside, so swimming, hiking, anything like that is great as well."

She's Positive

Gellar doesn't like to dwell on the bad things. She shared her favorite affirmation in her WhoWhatWear interview. "I try to add 'for now' to the end of every sentence. So, you know, 'This is a really hard time for now' or 'I'm not getting enough sleep for now,' because I want to remind myself that we can change our circumstances."
