Big Little Lies, the murder mystery show based on the book of the same name, had us all obsessed with whodunit back in 2017. The stacked cast included A-listers like Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and, in the second season, Meryl Streep, buoyed by a murder's row of familiar faces like Laura Dern and Adam Scott. Set in Monterey, California, the series glowed and so do its actors in real life. Here are their living-well secrets.

1. Nicole Kidman


Nicole Kidman plays one of the show’s lead characters, Celeste Wright. She opened up about her diet in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I’m actually not all that strict with my diet. I pretty much eat anything, but all in moderation.”

2. Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon plays one of the lead roles, Madeleine Mackenzie. She opened up about her diet with Harper’s Bazaar. Witherspoon says that she believes in balance and moderation. “I eat well the majority of the week,” she says. “One day a week, I get my cheat day, where I eat as much cake and pizza as I want, but I try to be pretty healthy the rest of the time.”

3. Zoe Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz plays Bonnie Carlson. She talked about finding her power in an interview with Glamour. “I think it comes back to choosing your truth and choosing your authenticity over the pressures of the world. It's normal to kind of experiment and go off your path and try to look like someone else, try to act like someone else, and try to fit into a box that you don't fit into. There's always these moments in life where you have to choose: Do I go back to me, or do I transform into something else because I think the world wants me to be something else? I think that's the journey that we're all on as women.”

4. Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley plays Jane Chapman. She tells Us Weekly that she loves doing martial arts. “I’ve done jujitsu. Krav Maga. I really love martial arts. There’s a YouTube video called Perfect Lean Body. This woman does leg workouts. They’re 20 minutes long and you sweat and kick your …. But they’re only 20 minutes. It’s fantastic. I use this app called Tabata Timer. It’s high interval training.”

5. Laura Dern

Laura Dern plays Renata Klein, and this has affected her real life. In an interview with Shape, she says that she stopped wearing makeup after getting the role. Dern says that she uses an oil from TrueBotanicals. "I don't do anything to my skin but apply healthy products and get facials, and after six months of using this oil, I thought, 'Wow, there's something to this.'"

6. Adam Scott

Adam Scott plays Ed Mackenzie. He talked about finding success in his 30’s to Men’s Health. “I’m happy it happened that way because I love the stuff that I’m doing now. I love the people I work with, and the stuff I’ve found, and that’s found me. If I would have had the same opportunities when I was 22, there’s a good chance I would have squandered them. I know my work wouldn’t have been any good. This all came at a time when I was finally ready to do it in my life, personally.”

7. James Tupper

James Tupper plays Nathan Carlson on the show. In an interview, he revealed that Alicia Silverstone inspired him to eat a vegan diet. “I started eating vegan food. That's all I had. I'll tell you the inflammation on my body went away. It was incredible. I had a big revelation because I was a steak-eating normal guy. When I started, I shifted my diet dramatically. I started eating a lot less dairy, less red meat, pork, and chicken. Even today, I'm just doing that officially. She really helped me become healthy.”

8. Kathryn Newton

Kathryn Newton plays Abigail Carlson. She is an avid golfer. "I have some really cute new outfits from my new Polo Ralph Lauren collection, and it's just a good incentive - I finally get to go and show them off,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “It's a great way to get some exercise and just be outside."

9. Alexander Skarsgard

Alexander Skarsgard plays Perry White on the show. He works with trainer, Magnus Lygdback, to help him get in shape. Lygdback shared Skarsgard’s workout routine for The Northman with Men’s Health. "There's many different phases that you've got to go through when working on a project like this. You have the bulk-up phase, then you have the cutting phase, then you have the maintenance phase, and you're going to train and eat differently for all those phases."

"Pretty Little Liars," the can't-stop-watching-it series that captivated younger audiences with its blend of mystery, drama, and the complexities of teenage life, also shone a spotlight on its stars, not just for their compelling performances but for their dedication to health and wellness. This list delves into how these actors balance their demanding careers with fitness regimes and lifestyle choices that keep them both physically and mentally fit.

1. Lucy Hale

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Lucy,Hale,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Lucy Hale played the role of Aria Montgomery for the show’s entire run. She talked about her fitness secrets in an interview with People. Hale says that she likes to workout with others. “[My trainer’s] the one who’s forcing me to try pull-ups, so every couple of days we’ll try to do more,” Hale says. “But I also like group fitness. I think that’s a way you can see your friends and break a sweat but still have a good time. I do things like Soul Cycle and Training Mate. I love to hike.”

2. Shay Mitchell

Los,Angeles,-,Jul,9:,Shay,Mitchell,At,The,BarbieShutterstock

Shay Mitchell played the main character of Emily Fields for the entire series. In an interview with Byrdie, she talked about how she approaches diet and exercise. "If you can't fit a workout in, it does really come down to your eating. Me being on set, I drink a lot of water. I try to opt out of coffee and drink green tea instead. There are always options. But I have my certain favourite things with me all the time when I'm on set.”

3. Ashley Benson

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,26:,Ashley,Benson,At,The,LoveShutterstock

Ashley Benson starred as Hanna Marin for the entire show. She shared her go-to workout with Health Magazine. “Probably squats — and not for my butt but for my legs. We usually do circuit training, so I’ll do 25 squats, then I’ll run back and forth, and then I’ll do lunges to the other side of the gym both ways, run, then squats. I can’t move for days!”

4. Troian Bellisario

Troian Bellisario played the main character of Spencer Hastings on the show. She shared her approach to health and wellness with The Cut. "Just [listen] to your body." Bellisario said. "It’s a daily practice, and it takes a lot of quiet and stillness...to listen to what it needs for nourishment and to listen when it’s thirsty. Listen when [your body] wants to stretch its legs and walk out in the sunshine, and when it needs a day to sit on the couch."

5. Janel Parrish

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,13:,Janel,Parrish,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Janel Parrish played Mona Vanderwaal on the show. She tells E! News that she believes in starting her day with a positive affirmation. “Your day begins with what you tell yourself,” she explains. “If you start the day by believing it's going to be a good day, you put yourself in that mindset. If you start the day in a negative place, you're setting yourself up for failure”

6. Sasha Pieterse

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,27:,Sasha,Pieterse,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Sasha Pieterse played Alison DiLaurentis on the show. She has PCOS, and wants to not only raise awareness about it, but also encourage people to see doctors for things that bother them. “There are all these things that seem somewhat normal sometimes depending on your lifestyle, but I feel like you have to just go and get it checked,” she told UsWeekly. “If you have a hormone imbalance, it can definitely be PCOS and that can lead to ovarian cancer and breast cancer and thyroid issues and many things later that could’ve been avoided. More than half of women have it and they don’t even know. It really is a huge issue that I want to share and hopefully help even one person deal with it.

7. Torrey DeVito

Torrey DeVito played the recurring role of Melissa Hastings. DeVito is a vegan, and talked about this to The Chicago Sun Times. “I’m vegan in my fashion and vegetarian in my food. I don’t by any leather goods or anything made from animal products – no down, nothing. It’s something people should be mindful of.”

8. Amanda Schull

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,13:,Amanda,Schull,At,The,HallmarkShutterstock

Amanda Schull played the recurring role of Meredith Sorenson. She shared her fitness secrets with RealStyleNetwork.com. “I try to carve a little time for exercise every day. Sometimes that is only 45 minutes of mat exercises, other days I have time to do a structured class like ballet or barre class. If I have a really early call time and don’t have a chance to exercise before work, I will bring a TheraBand to set to do strengthening exercises between scenes.”

9. Tammin Sursok

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,03:,Tammin,Sursok,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Tammin Sursok played the recurring character, Jenna Marshall. She tells WHO that her exercise goes in cycles. "At the beginning of our cycles, we're craving new exciting workouts, so in that week I try to change it up. Whether it’s in class activities or over an app, I focus on workouts that are new to me. In the middle of the month is when our energy peaks so that is when I optimise high-intensity HIIT workouts. Then near the end my body wants to slow down so that when I incorporate yoga, Pilates and long walks."

10. Lesley Fera

Lesley Fera played the recurring role of Veronica Hastings for all seven seasons. Fera is a host on the Pretty Little Wine Moms podcast, and she tells Glitter Magazine that she gave her revenue from that to charity. “We love being able to donate to charities that are near and dear to our hearts. So far, we’ve been able to give 10% of all of our Patreon earnings to the following charities: Actor’s Fund, Feeding America, LA Regional Food Bank, American Nurses Foundation, Meals On Wheels, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Start Rescue, The Lange Foundation, and Wounded Warrior Project.”

11. Bianca Lawson

Bianca Lawson played Maya St. Germain on the first three seasons. She shared some of her favorite workouts with ReflectBeauty.com. “I’m someone that needs to move my body for mental health. I’ve done some dance video workouts and I also have “The Mirror”, but I’ve been dying to get out of the house to exercise. I went for a hike yesterday and it was heaven to workout in nature!”

12. Ian Harding

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,04:,Ian,Harding,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Ian Harding played Ezra Fitz for the entire series. He talked about how he got the role to Ability Magazine. “I was very sort of lucky; not sort of, I was extremely lucky. It was the first audition for a lead in a TV show that I went to in Los Angeles. And my manager, who I still work with to this day, said, ‘Look, this is all just about getting practice. You know this already, but it’s kind of a stretch for you, and it’s your first pilot audition. Just go in, have fun, and learn how to audition.’ And because I didn’t have the pressure of needing to get the job, I went in and just messed around. And they were like, ‘Yeah, this is great.’”

13. Tyler Blackburn

Tyler Blackburn played Caleb Rivers on the show. He also stars on Roswell, and had to step back from the show to take care of his mental health. Blackburn wrote on Twitter, “I had to step down from filming season 4 and every single person in the cast and crew, as well as everyone at @warnerbros and @TheCW showed so much compassion. I am forever grateful to the human beings that made up this show.”

Matthew McConaughey played Detective Rust Cole in the first season. He shared some of his workout tips in an interview. “Like any mammal, we’re always gonna make it back home. I like to run 20 minutes out, turn around, and drop and do 20 pushups 10 times during the run back.”

Rachel McAdams played Detective Ani Bezzerides in the second season. She shared with Trainforher.com that she is conscious of what she puts in her body. “I eat organic and I eat a lot of greens and seeds. I’ve always been conscious of what I put in my body and I’m finding it so much easier now to eat healthily on the go. I think there are a lot more tasty options.”

3. Michelle Monaghan

Nashville,-,Jun,5:,Michelle,Monaghan,Attends,The,2019,CmtShutterstock

Michelle Monaghan played Maggie Hart on the first season. She shared her fitness secrets with Shape Magazine. "I hike in the morning if I can, after I drop the kids off at school. If not, I'll go for a run. Typically, I'll do 30 minutes, which is a three-mile run for me. I started doing Pilates, too, and it's really challenging. I find that it's a good balance for my running, which makes my muscles tight. Pilates loosens me up. I also love SoulCycle. I played a Spin instructor in a movie, and at the time I thought, There's no way I'm getting on a bike. But SoulCycle had just opened in L.A., so I went with friends. The lights were off, candles were burning, and we were hooked. It's like church!”

4. Alexandra Daddario

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,12:,Alexandra,Daddario,Arrives,For,Baby2babyShutterstock

Alexandra Daddario played Lisa Tragnetti on the first season. She works with trainer Patrick Murphy to help her stay in shape. “Working out with Patrick makes me feel more confident in everyday life. I feel stronger and healthier — even more so than I did in my 20s,” Daddario told Women’s Health. “My back doesn’t hurt anymore, my posture is better — his approach is to keep you feeling good and your joints working. Looking stronger is just a bonus.”

5. Lili Simmons

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,6:,Lili,Simmons,At,The,2019Shutterstock

Lili Simmons played the recurring role of Beth in the show’s first season. She shared her fitness secrets with Coveteur. “I have a trainer. I do weight-lifting mixed with a little bit of cardio. He kicks my ass. I love it! I couldn’t imagine life without it. I think women are scared of looking too muscular and I think that’s some bullshit. You still have a woman’s body. Muscle is muscle, and it’s good to be strong. I think it’s the fountain of youth to be honest.”

6. Colin Farrell

Los,Angeles,,Usa.,July,28,,2022:,Colin,Farrell,At,TheShutterstock

Colin Farrell played Detective Ray Velcoro on the second season. He talked about his sobriety to Variety. “I had suspicions, before I got sober, of how painful life could be. But I had no ability to hold that without being self-destructive and without living in it. I don’t live in that now. I feel these things that we’re talking about, at times. And I consider life greatly at times. And other times, I’m as frivolous as I was when I was 6 years old on a good day.”

7. Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn played Frank Seymon on the show’s second season. He talked about working in Hollywood to Drafthouse.com. “Nowadays it feels easier to make these comedies – people are more supportive in allowing it. Because you’re dealing with subject matter and topics that are adult-driven, you want to have that freedom to think and act like adults too.”

8. Kelly Reilly

Kelly Reilly played Jordan Seymon in the show’s second season. She did a “Day On A Plate” interview with The Telegraph. “We have a huge vegetable garden and I love working on it when I've got time off. Pick out a butternut squash for dinner.

9. Taylor Kitsch

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,22:,Taylor,Kitsch,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Taylor Kitsch played Officer Paul Woodrugh on the second season. He shared his training secrets in an interview. “Day to day, it’s just maintenance. When I’m busy, I’ll try to work out in the morning, just fit what I can in. I keep it high-intensity with training and weights – no rest, I’ll just fuckin’ bang it out. I try to do it hard and fast. Right now I’ve changed it all, I’m doing a lot of bodyweight stuff. But a lot of what your body looks like comes down to what you eat when you can’t work out as much as you’d like.”

10. Carmen Ejogo

Carmen Ejogo played Amelia Reardon on the third season. She opened up about working in Hollywood and dealing with stereotypes to The Guardian. “You can start feeling like you’re the representative of all kinds of things – woman, age bracket, race – and to be able to liberate myself from all those shackles from time to time and just do what feels exciting to me in any given moment is something I’ve promised myself to do more of.”

Dani Elle Speegle isn’t just strong—she’s unstoppable. The elite CrossFit athlete and social media sensation has built a massive following by sharing her intense training sessions and inspiring fitness moments. Recently, she posted a series of weightlifting photos on Instagram, proving once again why she’s a powerhouse in the gym.

“Just a girl and her barbell,” she captioned the post, letting her strength do the talking. From lifting heavy to outdoor adventures, here’s how Speegle stays in peak condition.

She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram post, Speegle is seen lifting weights. According to ACE Fitness, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

She Golfs

Speegle likes to golf to keep herself in shape. She shared a video of herself on the course in this Instagram post. According to Randa aerobic exercise. “Golf can help strength and balance, improve quality of life and provide aerobic exercise. On a regular 18-hole course, most players will walk between four and five miles, burning up to 2,000 calories.”

She's Into Jumping Rope

Speegle shared this video on Instagram of herself competing in Crossfit events. In it, she is seen jumping rope. According to The Cleveland Clinic, jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Benefits of jump rope can help improve your coordination, get your heart rate going and help burn calories — and it’s an easy, affordable way to get some cardio in.”

She Hikes

Speegle likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking the Koko Head Summit. Speegle captioned the post, “Woke up and chose pain today. Every 45 min X 3 rounds: Koko head 💀💀💀 Then sat in my car and stared into the abyss while munching on Banan 🥲🥲🥲”

She Does Cold Plunges

Speegle makes sure to recover. One thing she likes to do is cold plunges. Speegle shared this video of herself jumping into a tub. According to The Mayo Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day. These benefits may be the result of rapid constriction of the blood vessels due to the cold water. The cold can trigger responses in your body, such as decreased metabolic activity, alterations in hormone production and blood flow, and activation of the immune system.”

Tvesa Malik isn’t just a pro golfer—she’s a powerhouse athlete dedicated to staying in peak shape. The SuperSport Ladies Championship winner knows that strength and endurance are just as important as skill on the course. That’s why she takes her fitness seriously, incorporating weightlifting, core work, and mobility exercises into her training.

Last year, Malik gave fans a look at her workout routine in an Instagram video, where she powered through hanging crunches, lunges, and weightlifting sessions. She captioned the post, “Got some major work to do before my next session,” proving that even elite athletes are always striving to improve. Here’s a closer look at how Malik keeps her body strong and ready for competition.

She Lifts Weights

Malik is seen doing a lot of weight lifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Lunges

Malik is seen shifting into lunges in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that lunges are a form of unilateral training, and that makes them effective. “Unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

She Does Core Workouts

Malik is seen doing core workouts, like hanging crunches in her Instagram video. Core workouts are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes.”

She Does Pull-Ups

An upper body workout that Malik likes to do is pull-ups. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them at the gym. Malik captioned it, “Got some major work to do before my next session.” Asphalt Green says that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

She Golfs

Golf is obviously one of the ways that Malik keeps herself in shape. Better Health says that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Camila Guper is more than just a fitness influencer—she’s a motivation powerhouse. With 1.1 million Instagram followers, she inspires her audience with workout routines, wellness tips, and a disciplined approach to staying fit. Recently, she took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest gym session, including a stairclimber workout, a snapshot of her Apple Watch tracking her progress, and a post-workout mirror selfie in pink workout gear.

Her message? Consistency is key. “Don't underestimate the power of small, consistent actions! Every effort is worth it when you know where you want to go,” she captioned the post. From intense stair workouts to leg-sculpting exercises, here’s how Guper stays in top shape.

She Uses A Stairclimber

In her Instagram post, Guper is seen using the stairclimber. Stair workouts have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness says, “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”

She’s Consistent

Guper makes sure to stay consistent with her workout routines. One way she does so is by staying disciplined. Guper talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Good morning! May we always have the discipline to do what is good for us. Amen 💪🏽🙏🏽✨ 40 min stair + shoulder and chest workout today.”

She Does Lunges

Guper shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, lunges have a lot of benefits. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles.”

She Does Leg Extensions

In the previous Instagram video, Guper is seen using the leg extension machine. Asphalt Green says that leg extensions have a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

She Spends Time Outside

Guper likes to spend time outside. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a day by the pool with her dog. Guper captioned the post, “Good Morning! What book are you reading? 📖💚🐺🌮 I'm loving reading How to become super natural! I'm already sharing saying it's a must-read.”
