The Terminator franchise is remarkable, not just because it made a star of Arnold Schwarzenegger and his catchphrase, but because it has allowed for strong roles for strong women—not a given in every action movie. From the first two films, directed by James Cameron, to the sequels (which vary in quality), the casts in all have been committed to selling the ideas behind the action, and dedicated to fitness. Here's how they remain well.

1. Emilia Clarke

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,22:,Emilia,Clarke,At,The,PrimetimeShutterstock

Emilia Clarke played Sarah Connor in the film, Genisys. She has amazing skin, and shared her routine with Byrdie. "My morning and nighttime routines are really very similar. In the evening, I might do a double cleanse depending on how much makeup either I or someone else has put on my skin. I also put more moisturizing cream on my face at night than I do in the daytime. In the morning, if I have a big day or I have some stuff coming up, I also do a sheet mask and use a face roller. I keep all of those things in the fridge, which always helps."

2. Linda Hamilton

Las,Vegas,-,Apr,04:,Linda,Hamilton,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Linda Hamilton is the actress most associated with the role of Sarah Connor. She originated the role in the first film, and has returned in three subsequent ones. In an essay for InStyle, she talked about working and training for the film Dark Fate. “On the film we worked a lot of six-day weeks; even if we had a weekend off, there was probably a scuba lesson or military training. When I did have a day off, I’d sleep 20 hours. I’d rest my body and read my books to take my mind elsewhere. Still, the results are different, you know? It’s disappointing that you can work as hard and not look the same. But then you just think, ‘I cannot be what I was.’ It took me a while to just go, ‘Hmm, fuck that! Let’s go with what we’ve got and make it as fantastic as possible.’ I’d never felt like a badass until I made this film.”

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the titular character, also known as the T-800, in all of the films. He opened up about his diet secrets in an interview. “The way you do it is burning more calories every day than you eat,” he says. “So take the number 2,000. You have 2,000 calories that you eat every day, but you burn off 2,500 calories every day. And now you have a negative of 500 calories. And every day you will start slowly going down with the body weight and down with the body fat. And the first place it will go is at the stomach.”

4. Sam Worthington

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,12:,Sam,Worthington,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Sam Worthington played Marcus Wright in Salvation. He is a prolific action star, having appeared in Avatar and Clash of The Titans. For this reason, Worthington has to work hard to stay in shape. "Why waste the opportunity by doing things half-arsed,” he told Men’s Health. “Whether that's mentally preparing or physically preparing, or just giving a crap about the work. Why waste time by going to every party in town? This isn't what I got into this for."

5. Lena Headey

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,April,10,,2016:,Actress,Lena,Headey,AtShutterstock

Lena Headey played Sarah Connor in the TV series. She is open about her struggles with mental health and anxiety. When a fan asked how she manages anxiety on Twitter, Headey shared her secrets. "Anxiety is a beast. You have to talk to beasts. Release them back into the wild. Easier said than done, I know, but still. Good to practice."

6. Common

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,January,24,,2015:,Common,At,TheShutterstock

Common played Lieutenant Barnes in Salvation. He shared his fitness routine with Men’s Journal. “I work out four days a week and if possible, five. But I’ve been improving my workouts by doing things that are active. I’m not just pumping weights. I work with the bands. Today I was doing drills where it felt like I was doing basketball drills. I never used to do a lot of cardio and I still don’t do a lot of cardio because then I get real thin. But basically it’s just constant workouts and overall I just eat healthy. Of course I have days where I might go in on some French fries but overall it’s a pretty clean diet.”

7. Claire Danes

Claire,Danes,Wearing,Dress,By,Zac,Pozen,Attends,Hulu,FxísShutterstock

Claire Danes played Kate Connor in Rise of The Machines. Danes shared some of her favorite workouts with Net-A-Porter.com. “Generally, I run, but I couldn’t do it when I was pregnant, and I was introduced to SoulCycle, Barre, and then The Class By Taryn Toomey. Initially, I was a little hesitant about the ‘clubbyness’ of it, but it is nice to be in a group and to exercise with others as part of a community. Endorphins are released when you move and when you’re social. So, when you combine the two, the result is quite potent.”

8. Bryce Dallas Howard

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,06:,Bryce,Dallas,Howard,Arrives,ForShutterstock

Bryce Dallas Howard played Kate Connor in Salvation. She also stars in the Jurassic World films. Howard revealed to People that she used a wooden platform to help her get in shape for the films. “I’d put my foot on it and do calf raises and then stay on my tippy toe and do squats,” she said. “Then I’d turn perpendicular and exercise each side of my foot. Just to practice the stabilizing muscles.”

9. Brian Austin Green

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,5:,Brian,Austin,Green,At,TheShutterstock

Brian Austin Green played Derek Reese in the series, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The actor struggles with ulcerative colitis, and had a flare-up in 2022. Green talked about how he manages this condition on Good Morning America. “It’s really just dietary,” he said. “As long as I can keep things within my system that my body doesn’t think I’m poisoning it with then it doesn’t fight back.”

10. Gabriel Luna

Los,Angeles,-,May,22:,Gabriel,Luna,At,The,FubarShutterstock

Gabriel Luna played Rev-9 in Dark Fate. He tells Men’s Health that he was inspired to get fit because he knew he’d be working with Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I knew I had to get my body into a good place,” Luna said. “Because at the time, I was drinking whiskey and smoking cigarettes and all this other stuff I didn’t need to be doing if I intended to play this role. I knew I’d eventually have to stand in front of this guy, and my motivation was, I want him to see me and see a formidable foe. I don’t want him to see me and think, ‘I could squash this guy with my thumbs’.”

11. Helena Bonham Carter

London,,United,Kingdom,-,February,18,,2018:,Helena,Bonham,CarterShutterstock

Helena Bonham Carter played Dr. Serena Kogan in Salvation. Carter tells InStyle that she makes sure to get enough sleep, and that this is the reason for her amazing skin. “People say I look really good, and it’s because I sleep a lot, which is the biggest collagen booster ever. It’s amazing that I achieve anything considering how much I sleep. I snooze during the day and eight or nine hours at night to help collagen production.”

Jordana Brewster has played Mia Toretto since the first film. She shared some of her favorite healthy meals with OK! Magazine. “[I’ll] steam tons of vegetables and add avocado. And then I have soup with chicken or salmon for at least one of my meals. And then I’m getting all my vegetables in one meal, and I don’t really have to worry about it after that.”

2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

London,,United,Kingdom,-,October,18,,2022:,Dwayne,Johnson,AttendsShutterstock

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined the franchise as Luke Hobbes in Fast Five. He’d later get his own spinoff film, Hobbes & Shaw. He talked about wanting to stay motivated to stay in shape to Muscle & Fitness. “It occurred to me that all of the men I knew who had achieved success were all men of great physical stature,” Johnson said. “And I knew that they all got that way through sweat equity—putting callouses on their hands. So in my mind, the key was simple: I’d continue going to the gym and work harder than before, and then I’d follow their path to greatness.”

3. Michelle Rodriguez

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,26,,2023:,Michelle,Rodriguez,At,TheShutterstock

Michelle Rodriguez plays Letty Ortiz. She shared her diet in an interview with OK! Magazine. “I eat a lot of free-range chicken. I eat a lot of salads. I gravitate towards broccoli, spinach, beets — beets are great. As far as sustenance goes, I feel I need that protein like fish or chicken to give me the boost."

4. Tyrese Gibson

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,January,18,,2023:,Tyrese,Gibson,At,TheShutterstock

Tyrese Gibson joined the franchise in 2 Fast 2 Furious, playing Roman Pearce. He shared to Men’s Journal that his mindset is important when it comes to wellness. “I struggled for years with my focus. I got lazy and started enjoying the fruits of my labor too much. When I changed my mind, it helped me change my life—and how I look.”

5. Gal Gadot

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,April,15,,2023:,Gal,Gadot,At,TheShutterstock

Gal Gadot is known for her action roles. She plays Gisele Yashar in the film series. Gadot talked about her fitness routine to Good Housekeeping. “I incorporated pilates into my workout routine, because I feel like there's something so holistic about pilates, and opening your rib cage and actually focusing on breathing."

6. Brie Larson

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Brie,Larson,actressShutterstock

Brie Larson played Tess in Fast X. She shared her skincare secrets in an interview with Allure. “My skin-care routine has become how I begin and end my day. I am much more regimented about it than I ever was before because it's like, ‘Okay, the day has begun. I'm going to wash my face. I'm going to moisturize.’”

7. Nathalie Emmanuel

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,28:,Nathalie,Emmanuel,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Nathalie Emmanuel plays Ramsey, and joined the franchise in Furious 7. She shared her approach to fitness with OK! Magazine. “I’m not working out to be a certain weight or size,” she said. “I’m a goal-oriented person. My fitness goals at the moment are to do pullups and a Pincha Mayurasana, which is a forearm stand in yoga.”

8. Charlize Theron

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,17:,Charlize,Theron,Arrives,For,ElleShutterstock

Charlize Theron has appeared in three films as the villain Cipher. She shared her diet secrets with OK! Magazine. “I have juices and kale and green salads every day. When I’m eating healthily, getting enough sleep and not drinking alcohol, that’s when I look my best. That’s when I’m happiest, and I think it shows.”

9. Jason Momoa

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,04:,Jason,Momoa,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Jason Momoa played Dante Reyes in Fast X. His trainer, Damien Viera, shared his secrets with Men’s Journal. “Jason couldn’t do something like a ketogenic diet, because he needs readily charged energy from carbs to be explosive. And when I say carbs, I’m not talking about breads and pastas—those are long gone. I’m talking about cruciferous vegetables and fruits. You can’t train the way we do with fat for fuel; you need the carbs for explosive movements.”

10. Jason Statham

Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw in the franchise, and its spinoff film, Hobbes & Shaw. Statham talked about working with trainer Logan Hood to Men’s Journal. "Everything he asks me to do, he can do. I had met a couple of Hollywood trainers, but when I met Hood, I was hooked. He's like a machine."

11. Daniela Melchior

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,03:,Daniela,Melchior,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Daniela Melchior plays Isabel Neves in Fast X. She shared some of her favorite skin products with Byrdie. “In the morning, I do toner, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid—but only when my skin needs it because sometimes it [makes me] break out. After hyaluronic acid, I put on moisturizer, eye cream. And sunscreen all the time—even if I stay home—because it's so important."

12. Alan Ritchson

Las,Vegas,-,Mar,7:,Alan,Ritchson,At,The,2022Shutterstock

Alan Ritchson played Aimes in Fast X. He opened up about his approach to diet and exercise to Men’s Health. He says that since he works out a lot, he can indulge from time to time. “If your lifestyle is one of health and fitness, every day can become a cheat day,” Ritchson said. “You don't have to go on these insane calorie deficit sprees and punish yourself in the gym. I work out 30 to 45 minutes a day. I get it in, get a little pump [and then] I might have a slice of pizza for lunch because I feel like it and I earned it.”

13. John Cena

John Cena plays Jakob Toretto. He talked about his fitness routine in an interview with GQ. “My training has switched a lot because I’m old,” Cena says. “I started lifting weights in a dedicated fashion when I was 12 years old. If you do the math, I’m coming up on 35 years of that. That’s a long time. The biggest shift when I was in the WWE is, every day, I tried to be the strongest version I can be that day. Now, I’m trying to be able to lift weights when I’m 80, so I need to take a little bit more care of myself for the long term. I have a 40,000-foot perspective. It’s a lot more work on flexibility and a lot more warming up.”

14. Nathalie Kelley

New,York,,Ny,-,February,7,,2019:,Nathalie,Kelley,WearingShutterstock

Nathalie Kelley played Neela in The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. She shared some of her favorite foods with The Cut. “I try to have a hot water and lemon juice in the morning and something fermented. Then I’ll have broccoli cooked in beef lard or some kind of animal fat for breakfast. I kind of try not to have grains at all in my life, although they are my weakness. I try to eat a lot of animal fats and vegetables together.”

15. Lynda Boyd

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,9:,Lynda,Boyd,At,The,HallmarkShutterstock

1. Halle Berry

LOS ANGELES - MAY 15: Halle Berry arrives for the John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum' L.A. Special Screening on May 15, 2019 in Hollywood, CAShutterstock

Halle Berry played Jinx Johnson in Die Another Day. She shared some of her skincare tips with Glamour. “The products that I use have evolved over the years as new technologies have been made available. But there is one product that has been a part of my skin care regime for as long as I can remember, and that is a serum with vitamin C. It brightens our skin, it keeps us from getting splotches. If you get a pimple, they go away a lot faster without leaving any marks. So a serum with vitamin C is key.”

2. Rosamund Pike

London,,Uk.,December,10,,2018:,Rosamund,Pike,At,The,FashionShutterstock

Rosamund Pike played Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. To prepare for her role in Gone Girl, Pike worked with MMA fighter Holly Lawson. “What I did was employ a lot of the stuff I learned from fighting into the training with Rosamund,” Lawson said to Healthista. “I know how far you can push the body and I knew how to bulk her up with water weight and later strip it out.”

3. Teri Hatcher

Teri,Hatcher,Wearing,Dress,By,Ruben,Singer,Attends,American,HeartShutterstock

Teri Hatcher played Paris Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies. She opened up about her diet to The Daily Mail. “Why not make the choice to stay away from ingredients doctors have told us aren’t helpful to our health? Like sugar. Alcohol. Processed foods. I stay motivated to make good choices, concentrating on eating food that falls into the categories of vegetables, dark leafy greens, fruits, and protein and whole grains.”

4. Minnie Driver

Beverly,Hills,,Ca.,March,12,,2023:,Minnie,Driver,At,TheShutterstock

Minnie Driver played Irina in GoldenEye. She revealed in an interview with The Telegraph that she has moved to a beach home. “I’m happier by the sea,” Driver explained. “We all are. Every day I swim. I surf. I decided we should just live there. I can rent out my place in the Hills and just be more in nature.”

5. Alan Cumming

New,York,,Ny,-,February,28,,2022:,Alan,Cumming,AttendsShutterstock

Alan Cumming played Boris Grishenko in GoldenEye. He makes sure to take care of his skin and shared some of his favorite products with CNN. "I always have a facial mist. I love facial mist. I steal them all from airplanes and things, so I have a whole range, but I don't have special brands. There's a Kiehl's toner that I like, and then La Mer does one. Obviously it costs $75,000 and I made it last for years."

6. Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig is the current James Bond. His trainer, Simon Waterson, broke down his workout to Men’s Health. "We used a lot of resistance bands because we used them for stretching and a lot of cones and hurdles for agility-based exercises. It's making sure that we activate and strengthen all the muscle groups and then have the capability to sprint."

7. Eva Green

Eva Green played Vesper Lynd in 2006’s Casino Royale. She shared her skincare secrets in an interview with ELLE. “I'm a vampire; I use a lot of sun cream. Skinceuticals Ultimate UV Defense is very good. The less you go in the sun the better. I moisturize with Avene. It's a French brand that's really good.”

8. Mads Mikkelsen

London,,United,Kingdom,-,June,26,,2023:,Mads,Mikkelsen,AttendsShutterstock

Mads Mikkelsen played Le Chiffre in 2006’s Casino Royale. He shared how he approaches his career in an interview with Vulture. “My approach to what I do in my job — and it might even be the approach to my life — is that everything I do is the most important thing I do. Whether it’s a play or the next film. It is the most important thing. I know it’s not going to be the most important thing, and it might not be close to being the best, but I have to make it the most important thing. That means I will be ambitious with my job and not with my career. That’s a very big difference, because if I’m ambitious with my career, everything I do now is just stepping-stones leading to something — a goal I might never reach, and so everything will be disappointing. But if I make everything important, then eventually it will become a career. Big or small, we don’t know. But at least everything was important.”

9. Naomie Harris

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,4:,Naomie,Harris,At,The,"rampage"Shutterstock

Naomie Harris played Eve Moneypenny in Skyfall. She opened up about her diet in an interview with Shape Magazine. "I'm a really healthy eater. I believe that only through trial and error do you find what works for you, and my diet is based on what I've discovered from years of experimenting and listening to my body. For one thing, I incorporate Ayurvedic principles. That means plenty of warm, nourishing foods like stews and soups, even for breakfast. I have a really fast metabolism, so if I don't eat something filling in the morning, I'll be hungry again in five minutes.”

10. Javier Bardem

London,,United,Kingdom,-,May,15,,2023:,Javier,Bardem,AttendsShutterstock

Javier Bardem played Raoul Silva in Skyfall. He talked about his career to GQ, and says that he takes jobs that he feels passionate about. “The way I see this is, I take jobs because I believe in them,” he says. “Yes, I can do something for money, because we all have to pay our rent, but my objective is to try to do something that is worth it to watch. And for that, I need good material and belief in what I'm doing. When here it was like, ‘It's your moment. You're hot. You're hot. Do it.’”

Dave Bautista played Mr. Hinx in Spectre. He shared some of his favorite workouts and his diet with Men’s Health. “I eat as clean as possible.

Stephanie Sigman played Estrella in Spectre. She talked about being a Bond Girl to News.au. “To be honest, there’s a lot of expectation and sometimes that’s stressing,” Sigman admits. “But I try not to think about the expectations of other people because there’s always going to be expectations. Some people are going to like what you’re going to do some aren’t going to like it. That’s the way art is. Films are a very personal experience — just like a martini — so I try to think about what I like, what projects I like to be in, and make sure I feel proud about it because at the end, I’m the only one that’s going to look back, and feel proud or not about what I was doing.”

Famke Janssen played Xenia Onatopp in GoldenEye. She talked about how playing a Bond Girl affected her career to Goseetalk.com. “I would say, I can’t compare myself to other women and I don’t know what their experiences were like. Maybe they weren’t even interested in pursuing a career. I don’t know. All I can focus on is what I want to get out of what I’m doing.”

14. Michelle Yeoh

Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh played Wai Lin in Tomorrow Never Dies. To prep for her role in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, Yeoh worked with D.Y. Sao. “Michelle's age and background in martial arts were not hindrances but rather assets to our work together,” Sao told GQ. “Michelle has more energy and stamina than people half her age, and I have worked with martial artists for three decades.”

15. Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan is one of the actors who played James Bond. He tells GQ that he spends a lot of time outside. "I'm right here on the water's edge, so I ride my bike around the Lady Bird Lake of it all, and I've been sculling. I took up rowing, so I joined the rowing club down here. I've been sculling, which I absolutely adore."

Superman is perhaps the most iconic hero of all time. And with news he's coming back—in Superman: Legacy, part of James Gunn's brand new DC Universe—the Man of Steel is top of mind. So we looked back at the various feature films he's appeared in, and collected the fitness and wellness tips from the stars. Brandon Routh lifted weights and ate egg whites. Henry Cavill learned the importance of a protein shake. And Amy Adams uses a calming cleanser to glow as Lois Lane. Read on for more.


1. Henry Cavill

Henry Cavill is the most recent actor to play Superman, taking on the role in 2013. In an interview with GQ, he talked about deciding to ask questions to his trainer after not drinking a protein shake before bed. “I started asking these questions because he then informed me that the problem with that logic is that, yes, you do have fewer calories going into your body, but you also go into a catabolic state with how hard you're training and how hard you're working. So actually what you're doing is you're losing muscularity while you sleep. So your body won't be looking as good.”

2. Amy Adams

Amy,Adams,At,The,91st,Annual,Academy,Awards,Held,AtShutterstock

Amy Adams plays Lois Lane in the DC film series. She shared some skincare secrets with Marie Claire. "When I'm working and wearing a lot of makeup, I use Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser because I have very reactive skin. But at home, I just use water. For moisturizer, I use La Mer. At first I was like, I can't use this! It's so expensive and fancy, and J.Lo uses it! But it has saved my face."

3. Ben Affleck

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,27:,Ben,Affleck,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Ben Affleck played Batman in Batman Vs. Superman. His trainer, Walter Norton Jr., told Men’s Journal how he got in shape for the role. “We wanted him to look like a thick MMA heavyweight puncher,” explains Norton. “This is a Bruce Wayne who’s been lifting for 20 years, hitting that heavyweight bag, and working out every day in the manor. I’ll just say that if you lined up all the Batmans before Ben and stood them next to each other, they’re not 6’4”, and they don’t weigh 225 pounds. He’s in a whole other class.”

4. Brandon Routh

Brandon Routh played Superman in Superman Returns and in the Arrowverse special, Crisis On Infinite Earths. He shared his training routine with Men’s Journal. “My body responded very well to lifting heavy weights and lots of egg whites and chicken. I’m not sure I would put on mass the same way now knowing the things I know now about nutrition, I follow more of a Paleo bulletproof style. It would be a much more gentle approach now, and my body would appreciate it.”

5. Diane Lane

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,9:,Diane,Lane,At,The,28thShutterstock

Diane Lane played Martha Kent in Man Of Steel and Batman Vs. Superman. She revealed some of her wellness tips with the Las Vegas Review Journal. Lane says that she turns off her electronics each day. “We live in an age where you can be up to date with everything that’s going on all of the time,” she says. “We can’t escape the news. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I think it’s part of our stress. Being able to create a tech-free zone or tech-free hours are important ways for me to relax and improve the quality of my life and even my sleep.”

6. Michael Shannon

Michael Shannon played General Zod in Man Of Steel. He shared how he got in shape for the role with GQ. "It's all about the squats, man. These frickin' squats. They've got these things, goblet squats, where you hold the kettle ball under your chin and you squat back down and back up. If it was up to ['300' trainer Mark Twight], you would do those things all the time, that's all you would do. He would line them up from the lightest to the heaviest and you would start with the light one and work your way up to the heaviest one."

7. Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth played Lois Lane in Man Of Steel. She shared one of her favorite healthy recipes with InStyle. “I’ll just sauté and warm up some chickpeas in olive oil and salt and pepper,” she said. “You can add anything. You can add garlic, chili flakes, anything you want to pack it up. Then, I’ll usually chop up an avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, sometimes I pickle beets, pepitas, a little bit of goat cheese. Then, I make my own vinaigrette. It’ll be like olive oil, Dijon, and a little bit of rice wine vinegar. You can add anything. You can throw in some cilantro, some fresh herbs, but that’s super, super quick and the chickpeas have such great complex carbs, high protein, and avocado is good fats.”

8. Kal Penn

Kal Penn played Stanford in Man Of Steel. In an interview with Today, he talked about wanting to provide representation for the Indian community. “I had not seen people who looked like me on screen growing up,” Penn said. “It’s tough to explain to folks who’ve seen people who look like (them) on TV, what it feels like. When it’s absent, it feels like maybe your possibilities in our amazing country are limited somehow. And that shouldn’t be true.”

9. Christopher Meloni

New,York,,Ny,-,December,12,,2021:,Christopher,Meloni,AttendsShutterstock

Christopher Meloni played Col. Nathan Hardy in Man Of Steel. He revealed to Men’s Health that he has started incorporating squats into his workouts. "I'm ashamed to say, they're kind of new to me," Meloni says. "I've been working out many years, and I always shied away. I either did the sled—everything but squats. And the reason why is because they're very tough."

10. Jesse Eisenberg

Jesse Eisenberg played Lex Luthor in Batman Vs. Superman. He talked about his diet in an interview with Men’s Health. “My relationship to food is a relatively healthy one now. When I'm working I'm very careful about what I eat, but only because I don't want to change my energy level during the day. You shoot for 12 or 14 hours a day, you want to maintain that consistent level of energy. So I don't eat sugar, and I have a very limited amount of caffeine that I proportion out throughout the day.”

11. Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot first appeared as Wonder Woman in Batman Vs Superman. Naturally, she’s got to stay in shape to play this role. She revealed to Good Housekeeping that she picked up a new workout. “I incorporated pilates into my workout routine, because I feel like there's something so holistic about pilates, and opening your rib cage and actually focusing on breathing."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. 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, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
