Here are her diet and fitness secrets.
She Cold Plunges
In an Instagram Story, Sarah revealed she had taken the (cold) plunge. “Finished my @alo workout with a plunge,” she captioned it. According to the Cleveland Clinic, limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.
She Juices
Sarah’s “favorite thing is to have a green juice,” she told The/Thirty. “I go every weekend to the farmers market and I get fresh kale, spinach, celery, and lettuces and I blend it all together. That’s my favorite thing before I work out.”
“Fresh, Organic, and Local” Food
Sarah prioritizes eating “eat fresh, organic and local,” she told Self. “People think it’s so expensive to eat like that, but there are ways to do it so it’s not as pricey. We shop at Whole Foods, but we ask which fish is on sale. On sale doesn’t mean it’s bad! It probably just means it’s overcaught. And I clip coupons all the time. Why should you pay more for something that someone else is paying less for?”
Baths
Sarah’s self-care routine focuses on baths. “Sometimes, I’m so tired at the end of the day I just want to go to bed, but I have to take time for myself to take a bath,” she told Bustle.. Why are baths a great (and free) self-care ritual? They have been linked to better sleep and have even been found helpful in minimizing anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may boast cardiovascular benefits.

On a recent vacation, Sarah went snorkeling. Putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Gellar is a fan of PlateFit workouts, “and the feeling of being on a Power Plate,” she said. “I love how quickly I can work out and get such a great exercise.” Another one of her go-tos? “I love Pilates because it centers me and it also strengthens my body.”
