Melissa Joan Hart In Workout Gear Lifts Weights At the Gym

'90s teen queen Melissa Joan Hart is killing it at the gym—and the results speak for themselves. Hart, 48, shared a video of herself wearing green pants and a black tank top, lifting weights at the gym. "Getting stronger every day feels amazing! Hit a goal at @bft_brentwood in my military barbell press! 5 reps at 75lbs. Woohoo!!" she captioned the inspiring post. "Dang!!! 75lbs you go!!! I'm not there yet but working on it 👊🏼" commented Candace Cameron Bure. Hart is getting fitter and stronger with every year that passes—here's how she does it.

Hart loves working out with friends and family. "I make it a social event," she told Us Weekly. "I chitchat with friends on walks or run with my husband," Hart reveals of her fitness routine. "It's so nice not to be busting out of things or having to wear undergarments to keep things in. I feel good!"

Hart says she has less time for self-care as a middle-aged busy mom. "During the Sabrina years, I had a lot of time for self care, and now I'm trying to squeeze it in," she told New Beauty.  "But it's funny because I also wore a lot more makeup back then and it was every day, so I think my face care routine has actually gotten simpler over the years. It used to be so complex. I also used to work out diligently when I had the time. Then that went away. I'm back on a great workout program now, though."

Hart loves to read. "I'm reading two because we recently moved and I haven't been able to finish them up. 'The Great Alone' by Kristin Hannah is about a family who moves to Alaska," she told Apartment Therapy. "She has a book called 'The Nightingale' and I'm obsessed with her writing, it's so descriptive. My husband and I are also reading 'The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work,' it's really helpful when you've been married a long time to rethink how you see each other."

Hart loves the support she gets from her fan base, especially in relation to weight fluctuations and aging. "There's this nice thing about people that have grown up with me," she told New Beauty. "While they don't want me to be older—they all freaked out when I was playing a grandma in a movie last year—they don't want me to get older because it means they're older, but they're still nice to me. I think they're about it because they're going through it. It's relatable. I think everyone else is going through the same things, whether it's perimenopause or starting to head towards menopause if you grew up at the same time as me. It's an interesting experiment."

Hart says if she could give her sons one piece of wisdom, it's to be fearless. "Learning to be okay with yourself is huge because then what you think about yourself won't be dependent on how other people feel about you," she told New Beauty. I feel like it's common, especially growing up in the arts, for kids to need validation, but if you're comfortable with yourself and comfortable in your own skin, you won't need all that. And just be nice to people. Even if they're not nice to you back, if you're nice to people nothing else matters."
