Rosario Dawson talked about her wellness routine to Us Weekly. She says that because of her schedule, she needs her wellness secrets to be easy and consistent. “I walk everywhere. I drink a lot of water. I try to get as much sleep as possible. Everything else about my schedule and routine is inconsistent, so if those types of things I can do, they’re really important… I can always take the stairs rather than use the elevator or the escalator.”

Natasha Liu Bordizzo shared her go-to meals in an interview with Byrdie. “For breakfast, I'll usually have muesli with coconut milk or eggs and avocado (the Aussie classic). For lunch, I'll eat at a cafe as I'm always out and about. For dinner, it's a simple stir-fry with veggies, tofu and a heap of tamari. Or a prawn pasta with a tomato base.”

3. Mary Elizabeth Winstead

While promoting her Netflix film, Kate, Mary Elizabeth Winstead shared how she got in shape to do some of the stunts in the role. “Working with 87North, they give you a really good baseline in jiu jitsu,” she said on Netflix's website. “Then they throw in boxing drills and things like that. And that's one of those examples, when I said I didn't really know that I was learning the choreography. It became: ‘Ok, you're punching like we've been doing in these boxing drills. but with a knife in your hand this time.’ So I'm using the proper power behind the force of the punch now it's a knife." They're just really smart, in terms of building it into your body in a way that you don't even realize what's happening.”

4. Diana Lee Inosanto

In an interview with The Inner Circle, Diana Lee Inosanto shared some of her fitness and wellness secrets. “I love doing Yoga,” she says. “I love writing and reflecting on my life. I also love taking long scenic walks by the ocean or hiking in outdoor places. I am a nature lover!”

5. David Tennant

In an interview with the DailyMail’s Weekend Magazine, David Tennant talked about things people might not know about him. “I don't think very much about my public image,” he revealed. “I once saw the same photo of me in two magazines in the same week. One had captioned it, 'This man knows how to dress!' The other said, 'What on earth is he wearing?' Ever since then, I've chosen to follow my own spirit.”

6. Eman Esfandi

In an interview with Voyage LA, Eman Esfandi talked about his approach to acting, creating art, and making movies. “The end goal is to perpetuate a more understanding, empathetic, and selfless society through whichever means/medium possible. I hope one day I can look back on my work and feel confident knowing that it was always in pursuit of that goal. I hope one day you can look back on my work and feel anything at all.”

In this video, Sackhoff does upper body exercises, including lat pullovers, arm circles, and squat curl presses. She wrote in the post’s caption, “This is a full upper body workout but get ready to feel a REALLY good burn in your arms and shoulders 🔥😃 This one will need some homemade equipment if you don't have any weights.”

Ming-Na Wen plays the recurring role of Fennec Shand. On her wellness Instagram, Wen shares a lot of recipes and meals. In this one, she enjoyed a piece of fish. Wen captioned the post, “Lunchtime!

5. Omid Abtahi

Omid Abtahi plays the recurring role of Penn Pershing on the show’s first two seasons. He talked about bringing diversity to the Star Wars franchise to ComicBookMovie.com. “It does mean a lot. I get asked a lot, ‘Who would you be or who would you play if you were a superhero?’ I don’t know how to answer those because I never saw myself playing anybody. Maybe I don’t know the universe too well, but I never saw myself in anybody, so once I learned about Hawkman’s soul and where he came from in Egypt and Prince Khufu, I felt for once, ‘There is a reason I’m here.’ Maybe he’s Carter Hall, but his soul is from the Middle East, and that’s what I can provide.”

6. Mercedes Varnado

Mercedes Varnado plays the recurring role of Koska Reeves. She is also a WWE wrestler. She shared some of her health tips with Fox Sports. “When I first started (wrestling) I would try and find healthy restaurants which is really hard. A lot of tons only have fast food. Recently a lot of the boys started bringing their own food on the road and I decided to do the same thing.”

7. Amy Sedaris

Amy Sedaris plays the recurring role of Peli Motto, and has appeared on all three seasons. She talked about how she manages her stress to The Cut. “I can get stressed out. Sometimes an easy way to manage it is to pick up a book that takes you out of everything. Or calling a family member or a friend. I’m not a big drinker. I still like weed. When I get high, I like it.”

8. Emily Swallow

Emily Swallow plays the recurring role of The Armorer on the show. She talks about how she deals with pressure to Exit 6 Film Festival. “In the beginning I thought, 'Oh my gosh. If I don't come out of this without having created this magnificent project that's just everything I've ever wanted, then I've failed.' It's challenging me to be patient with myself and it's been more of a gradual focus on the smaller things that I've wanted for a while. From that, I've seen some ideas for projects come to light and collaborations take shape."

9. Katy M. O’Brian

Katy M. O’Brian plays the recurring role of Elia Kane. She opened up about her workout routine and advice on Twitter. “Lots of people hit me up requesting workout tips. I’ve spent years working w/various trainers to learn what works for my body. I don’t have time to write out plans or diets for people BUT I will say 1 key to getting ‘in shape’ is consistency. These are great tips to help w/that.”

10. Simon Kassianides

Simon Kassianides plays Axe Woves on the show, debuting in season two. In addition to acting, Kassianides loves to write. He talked about this to Numero Magazine. “I have always written. Being involved from ideas’ inceptions with talented people is one of the most rewarding experiences. The high level of skill around me allows for me to take that all on. It’s a lot, but seeing how such talent elevates the projects to levels I’d never dreamed of is something I am thoroughly enjoying and motivated to continue pursuing. I find all areas of this business exciting to be honest.”

11. Tait Fletcher

In addition to playing Paz Vizsla, Tait Fletcher sells coffee and MCT oil. He talked about the importance of MCT oil, and some of his diet secrets, with Brainwiz.org. “MCT is a nice healthy fat that you can derive from coconuts or palm oil. But with palm oil, you have destruction of rainforest and great ape habitat, so we try to be careful of how we source, and we do it from coconuts. I use it in my coffee to keep my fats high. I keep my fats high because I feel better that way. I spoke a little bit on the ketogenic diet; personally, I’ve found that keeping my carbohydrate count to 50 or 30 grams a day or less, I feel great. But in order to do that, I have to eat a ton of fat. Then my body creates ketones, and my body is fueled off adipose tissue.”

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

Sela Ward loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Facebook of herself in the pool after doing laps. She captioned the photo, “Got my laps in for the day! Can someone hand me a towel, please?”

4. Zeeko Zaki

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

6. Ebonee Noel

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

Dr. Julian Bashir was a star of the Starfleet Medical Academy racquetball team. Engineer Miles O'Brien was forced to take him on, in a tournament arranged by Quark. Major Kira loved Springball, so much so that she had a court built. And, of course, Commander Sisko and his son loved the classic Earth game of baseball. Despite it being considered a sci-fi show for '90s "nerds," the classic series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine featured a fair number of jocks. And in real life, the cast maintains their fitness. Read to see how Terry Farrell and more stay well into the future.

1. Terry Farrell

Terry Farrell played science officer Jadzia Dax on the first six seasons. She opened up about negotiating contracts in Hollywood to WomenAtWarp.com. “When it first happens and you’re speaking up for yourself, I think a lot of the drive comes from how you’re afraid to speak out. So you can sound passive-aggressive, you build up anger, and you’re afraid to say how you’re feeling because you’re afraid how someone will react to you. At least for me, I would be afraid of how someone would react to me. And then, when you find your voice, and you trust that its going to be heard, then you can find a safe place, you can start that dialogue of sticking up for yourself before you get to the angry. It can feel really scary, and you can feel yourself being brave, but the more you do that, the more you practice that, the more your voice can come out and be heard. The more you feel your own strength, the more you find your own voice. You do have to learn it if you haven’t had it to begin with.”

2. Rosalind Chao

Rosalind Chao reprised her The Next Generation role of Keiko O’Brien on the show. Chao shared some advice for actors with Backstage.com. “If I had one piece of advice for young actors now, it’s train train train, and then train some more. [And] don’t sweat the small stuff. Debra Zane, who cast ‘Mulan,’ brought me in to read. I was about to leave for London. I wasn’t actually going to go in because I was about to leave to be on stage. I thought, you know what, I haven’t met Debra Zane so I’m just going to go in anyway. When I went in, I explained to her, ‘I don’t think I can do this because I’m going to be in London for six months and it doesn’t work with the ‘Mulan’ schedule.’ She said, ‘This schedule is in constant transition. I really want to put you down for us, just in case.’ I really didn’t think I had the audition prepared as if I was going to be able to do the role. She really encouraged me to read for her anyway.”

3. Alexander Siddig

Alexander Siddig played medical officer, Julian Bashir, for all seven seasons. In an interview with Bidoun.com, he talked about the roles he wants to play. “I am looking for solid characters, more in the old-fashioned way that books and films are very similar, rather than segmented films with uneven time. The great narratives, the great stories, have been appealing to all cultures, whether they are written by Tolstoy, or Garcia Marquez, or Mahfouz, and they are usually very simple stories.”

4. Cirroc Lofton

Cirroc Lofton played Jake Sisko on the show. He talked about feeling supported by the show’s fans to TrekMovie.com. “The expansion of the fans has also been a wonderful thing. To meet all these new people that are getting brought back into the fold, to meet fans of my show that weren’t even born when the show went off the air… doing this podcast has been also an exceptional gift that keeps on giving. Thanks to the late great Aron Eisenberg, thanks to my partner Ryan T. Husk. This has been the thing that has kept me attached to Star Trek and helped me nurture and grow relationships that I’ve already had. Those are the wonderful things, the opportunity that this podcast has been for me.”

5. Nicole De Boer

Nicole De Boer played Ezri Dax on season seven of the show. She talked about going to conventions with Heavy.com. “It is an absolute gift… there’s so much love there from the fans. You get to be with your other actor friends as well, you get to really engage with your fans and meet them. And meet families who brought ‘Star Trek’ to their kids and then watched it with their kids. Then their kids grew up and then they had kids and they introduced them to ‘Star Trek.’ And I get to meet these people at conventions. And it’s just so incredibly heartwarming. And so fun! It’s a huge part of my life.”

Andrea Martin played the recurring role of Ishka on the show. She previously struggled with bulimia. She opened up about how she handles these feelings with CBC.ca. “Not feeling was the only purpose food ever held for me. If I have any feelings, happy or sad, my intention is to stuff them down. But instead, I sit with them. I feel what I’m feeling until it passes.”

John Boyega revealed some of his fitness secrets to Men’s Health. He says that he has an interesting workout playlist. “I’ve got a confession. I rarely listen to music with lyrics in the gym. I listen to movie scores…. I love Hans Zimmer. I love Harry Gregson-Williams. 'It’s harder to run on the treadmill when Drake is talking about being on the jet. The workouts I do [are] hard. I need me some motivation.”

3. Adam Driver

Adam Driver works with trainer, Simon Waterson, to keep himself in shape for the Star Wars movies. Waterson talked about working with Driver to Men’s Journal. “There is no doubt Adam’s military career came through in our workouts. I didn’t have to push Adam to go hard.

4. Harrison Ford

For his many action roles, Harrison Ford has to stay in shape. And for him, this is easy. Ford tells USA Today, “I’m healthy, I enjoy being active and fit. I’m aware of keeping my old (butt) in shape.”

5. Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman has a busy schedule, which means she has to find ways to find down. She shared some of them in an interview with W Magazine. “I try and sleep eight hours a night. I find ways to be in nature regularly, I really enjoy cooking, and I do love a guided meditation. I also read a lot. I’ve always looked to books as an escape and love immersing myself in a new story. It’s also the perfect way to help me relax at night so I usually read a bit before going to sleep.”

6. Felicity Jones

Felicity Jones opened up about her diet in an interview with Shape. "I think my rule would be balance if I was going to have a rule,” she says. “It's so connected to fitness: The more fitness you do, the more you have a better, healthier diet. I make a pretty mean tomato-vegetable soup, which is fresh tomatoes and every vegetable you can think of: courgettes—you call them zucchini—capers, carrots, onions. I'll put in as many vegetables as possible to get a massive vitamin hit. When I'm shooting and the days are long, I try to have dried fruit and snacks like that to keep my energy up. And I think you have to treat yourself sometimes; otherwise you'll go crazy."

7. Diego Luna

On NPR’s Morning Edition, Diego Luna talked about his love of cooking. “It's been 10, 15 years that I've been really obsessed with what happens in the kitchen. Everything is the kitchen. No matter how much you want people to stay in the living room or at the table, it always ends up in the kitchen. And it's where you say everything, where you allow yourself to actually open, where the meaningful conversations happen.”

8. Oscar Isaac

Oscar Isaac shared how he got in shape for his role in Ex Machina with Men’s Journal. “I work with a trainer named Josh Holland. We actually met when I was doing the film that Madonna directed, W.E., and he was her trainer. We tried to follow the regimen Nathan would follow, which was a bit of cardio, a lot of weight training, and hitting the punching bag. I basically did that and tried to eat clean, but more calories than I normally eat.”

9. Gwendoline Christie

Gwendoline Christie opened up about her time on Game of Thrones to GQ. “It made me really question what it means to be a woman, how we are defined in society, and how we’re defined in media and mainstream entertainment. It’s been a privilege to play that part. It has been an evolution of self.”

10. Kelly Marie Tran

Kelly Marie Tran talked about her wellness in an interview with Byrdie. She says that she is going to therapy more. “I come from a family that doesn’t really believe in therapy, and I don’t want to generalize Asian people, but my parents don’t believe in mental health. It was just something that wasn’t accessible to me in my younger years. But I think we’re living in a different world! Gen Z is very, very aware of the importance of mental health, and we now have this shared vocabulary to talk about things on a mainstream level that we couldn’t talk about 10 years ago. And I think that the world is becoming better for that awareness.”

11. Lupita N’yongo

Lupita N’yongo shares some of her favorite workouts on Instagram. In this one, she is seen balancing on an exercise ball. She captioned the post, “Workout challenge: start your week off with a 1-minute #GhanaBounce & Balance!” In this one, N’yongo is seen using weights.

13. Laura Dern

Laura Dern opened up about her beauty standards in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "To be who you are and age with grace, but also be kind and considerate to your skin and your health. I love a lipstick, but I don't have to, like, cover myself in a foundation. I just believe in healthy skin. I'm excited that that's what [my daughter is] learning, as my mom taught me."

14. Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal’s trainer, David Higgins, shared the actor’s workout routine in an interview with GQ. He says that he has Pascal do a lot of calisthenics and bodyweight exercises. “He’s so athletic and he has so much potential; he doesn't necessarily realize how good he is. [After a while] the general bodyweight exercises—stuff like mountain climbers, bodyweight lunges, glute bridges, plank—started feeling more natural.”

15. Rosario Dawson

For Sarah Michelle Gellar, self-care is putting herself first. “Sometimes, to take care of others, I have to take care of myself," she says to Shape. "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 adds. "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."

18. Adria Arjona

Adria Arjona went through her daily routine with Marie Claire. In it, she talked about her beauty secrets. “I consider my celery juice and that hour for myself part of my beauty regimen. Beyond that, I usually just ice my face. It depuffs it. I feel like it’s firmer and the ice brings back circulation to my face—and it’s also super cheap. Then I put Mario Badescu’s rosewater spray on my face to freshen up. I love the smell of it. Finally, I follow with sunscreen.”

19. Genevieve O’Reilly

In an interview with Express, Genevieve O’Reilly opened up about her acting career. She says that she believes in taking opportunities. “At first I was terrified about it and I thought very hard about accepting that role, but sometimes life presents you with opportunities that are terrifying and they frighten you for a reason. It’s good to just jump in and learn how to work through your fears.”

20. Billie Lourd

In an interview with TODAY, Billie Lourd opened up about what she learned from her late mother, Carrie Fisher. "There’s a lot of things that my mom taught me to do and then there’s a lot that is, honestly, it might be more valuable, of what not to do. And that’s one of the things that I will not do to my son, is put this pressure on him that I had on me."
