Tanisha Harper has played Jordan Ashford since last year. She opened up about her diet to Soap Opera Digest earlier this year. “I eat rather healthy. Don’t get me wrong — I love a sweet treat! — but I’m all about portion control. I don’t ever eat a giant plate of food; I’ll have small portions of whatever I’m eating just to maintain some sort of control and balance and so that I don’t overeat.”

Brook Kerr plays Portia Robinson, and previously played Priscilla Johnson. She revealed her go-to workout to Soap Opera Digest. “I really like yoga and hiking and anything that incorporates flexibility. You just feel, on a deeper level, like you’re actually doing something good for your body. I’d done yoga before, but I just got back into it about six months ago and I really do like the stretch and the sweat and it makes me feel more grounded.”

Rebecca Herbst played both Elizabeth Webber-Baldwin and Jessie Brewer. In an interview with Soap Opera Spy, she revealed her skincare secrets. “Moisturizing your skin- day or night- really protects it from the elements. I also cut back from exfoliating because it tends to dry out my skin in harsh weather. And, drinking lots of water is always the best way to keep your skin nice and hydrated.”

4. Laura Wright

Laura Wright has played both Carly and Lara Spencer, as well as Beatrice Ekhert. She talked about making wellness changes after her divorce to Soap Opera Digest. Wright worked with a coach from Beachbody. “I walk different. I stand different. I sleep different. I love how amazing my body feels.”

5. Amanda Setton

Amanda Setton plays Brook Lynn Quartermaine. She revealed to Soap Hub that she makes time for self-care, no matter how busy she gets.“I’ve learned over and over that self-care is number one. I have three children. It’s a lot, [so] I make a conscious effort to practice self-care. I eat well, I work out, and I stay hydrated. If you don’t do that first, then I won’t be able to be present for my family — my husband and children. My motto is to stay strong and healthy!

6. Cynthia Watros

Cynthia Watros plays both Nina Reeves and Virginia Benson. She tells Soap Opera Digest that she does a variety of things to stay in shape. “Yoga has been with me for 15 years, off and on, not only because it makes me stronger, but what it does to ease the thinking,” she explained. “I have a very overactive mind. But one of my favorite things to do is hike. I hike in places that I’m really familiar with because I find that I can connect not only with nature, but with myself. That’s right up there for me with yoga. I used to do the whole thing with the gym and spinning classes and I loved it, but with [Covid], I can’t go to the gym, so I’m really back in love with yoga, which I do from home, and hiking. When I was going to the gym, I’d do a bit of everything so I didn’t get bored — weight-lifting classes, Zumba, Pilates. It’s probably four days a week that I’m doing something to move my body, even if it’s just a walk.”

7. Kate Mansi

Kate Mansi played Kristina Davis this year. She tells Muscle and Fitness that she loves to do outdoor workouts, specifically hiking. “I’ve climbed Mount Whitney, I love being in nature,” she says. “We were shooting Casa Grande in Petaluma and it was beautiful out, no one was around, so on my off days, or off hours, I would do a lot of hiking and saw some incredible trails while I was there. I’m a sucker for new adventurous things. Ice climbing just adds that layer of intensity, which I love. Ice climbing is a real practice in being mindful, and being present.”

8. Risa Dorken

Risa Dorken plays the recurring role of Amy Driscoll. She isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. After being body-shamed, Dorken responded back on Instagram. “I am learning to fall in love with my body,” she wrote. “I work out 5 days a week, I watch what I eat, and the truth is… I’m healthy.”

9. Haley Pullos

Haley Pullos has played the recurring role of Molly Lansing since 2009. She revealed that she likes to eat vegetarian and pescatarian food to Soap Opera Digest. “I get whatever the vegetarian option is, and Tajh and I have lunch together. If we still have scenes to do, we’ll go over them while we eat and then we go back up and finish. The commissary isn’t open anymore, so since Covid happened, GH provides boxed lunches on stage and we grab them from a table. There are usually two meat options and a vegetarian option, or a meat option, a pescatarian option and a vegetarian option. If there’s a pescatarian option, I will almost always grab that, but today, it was vegetarian. Usually, it’s a sandwich or a rice/salad type of bowl. They taste a lot better than they look most of the time! I always sneak up early because the vegetarian option is the first one snapped up, and if I’m still on set taping and won’t be able to get to the food on time, I ask somebody to grab a vegetarian box for me and put it to the side.”

10. Carly Hughes

Carly Hughes plays the recurring role of Elise Vance. She shared her fitness secrets with Reflect Beauty. “I have found a few workout regimens that really resonate with me and make me feel good, which is important, because if you don’t feel good, you won’t go! So I workout about 5 days a week- not always consecutively – and I allow myself to miss days/ sleep in when the mood strikes. I’m not a fitness fanatic, but I always feel amazing after a great workout. And that makes me happy.”

3. Tiffani Theissen

In California we have such great hikes.”

4. Brian Austin Green

Brian Austin Green played David Silver on the show. Green has both ulcerative colitis and vertigo, and has dealt with stroke-like symptoms in the past.

Priesltey encouraged others to support and revealed how they could do so in an interview. “When I heard that one in four kids here in Canada have problems having access to healthy food in the morning, I felt like getting the word out about the Buy a Cup Give a Cup program was the right thing to do. It’s such an easy way for Canadians to give to this program and to give to the Breakfast Club of Canada.”

6. Hilary Swank

Before winning two Oscars, Hilary Swank appeared as Carly Reynolds in season eight. She revealed to Man Repeller that she makes smoothies in the morning. “I use kale, spinach, blueberries, flax, chia and green — like a supergreen. The bottle has to say supergreen! I also use cacao and a frozen banana. And I never put an avocado in because that makes me gag. I have this every morning whether or not I work out because I don’t think I get enough vegetables or fruit in otherwise. I only use a handful — as much as I can eat because who eats ten apples? Nobody.”

7. Kathleen Robertson

Kathleen Robertson played Clare Arnold on the show. She talked about her career in an interview with Canadian Living. Robertson says that she is working on not getting ahead of herself and thinking in the present. "It's something I have to work on as I get older.

He also is known for his role in the Sharknado film series, and shared how he stays in shape for those films to People. “Leg day is my favorite day,” Ziering said. “You can’t have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent. It’s a challenge, but the benefits of maintain muscle mass on my legs is important because, as the biggest muscle group in the body, it also helps me keep the proper body composition in terms of fat to muscle ratio.”

9. Vanessa Marcil

Vanessa Marcil played Gina Kincaid on the final two seasons. She talked about her approach to wellness in the caption of this Instagram post. “Being a workaholic for 24 years, the most important parts of health for ME aren’t working out, or what I eat, or whether I drink water,” she wrote. “But for ME it’s balancing my hormones with an endocrinologist, weekly anger release therapy, sleep, taking risks that scare me, laughter & having balance in my life with no shame allowed.”

10. Gabrielle Carteris

Gabrielle Carteris played Andrea Zuckerman on the show. She was previously the president of SAG-AFTRA. Carteris talked about her desire for more diverse stories in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. “One of my real interests is to work on inclusivity — looking at diversity and gender equity. That for me, being a woman, is really important. With our leadership, our top three officers are women, which is not something you see in unions around the country or in our industry. I think it’s a testament to our members and to our work that we are about inclusion.”

11. Cress Williams

Cress Williams played the recurring role of D’Shawn Hardell from seasons four to five. He also appeared as the lead character in the show Black Lightning, and shared how he got in shape for the role to Men’s Health. “From the moment I turned 39, 40, I really turned a corner and became a person who really enjoys working out. When I don’t get a chance to, I miss it. I also just recognized that it would give me career longevity if I kept myself in the best shape I could possibly be in. I do have my limitations, I have a bad knee and stuff like that. But I do the best I can. So it was already something that was in my routine. And getting ready for the show, I just sort of ramped things up to get more strength. Then my stunt double, who has become a really good friend, he started coming over and helping me with the fight aspects of it.”

8. Jaqueline Bisset

Jaqueline Bisset played the recurring role of Constance Isles. She opened up about her diet and favorite foods to Parade. “I used to eat more meat when I grew up near Redding, England, and we also had lots of white sugar and white flour. I did have organic vegetables out of the garden. Now bringing them home from the market is kind of an uplifting moment. Since my 40s I’ve been sorting out my diet, throwing the frying pan away and getting the steamer out which makes me feel lighter. I use cold-pressed olive oil and don’t cook high temperature foods. I do make lots of vegetable soup with al dente vegetables. I need to be careful with salt or I get very puffy.”

This is a new set of responsibilities and challenges and I’m loving it even more than I thought it would.”

6. Ming Na Wen

One of Ming-Na Wen’s many acting roles was as Jing-Mei “Deb” Chen. In this blog post, she talked about the importance of doing squats directly after a knee injury. “After surgery, I had a limited ability to bend my left knee.

7. Linda Cardellini

Linda Cardellini played the role of Samantha Taggert on the show’s last five seasons. She shared some of her workout and self-care secrets with Byrdie. “Sometimes I really have to motivate myself to move, and I’ll get really down if I’m not moving enough. Literally, my brain works better when I’m moving. I have a jump rope, and if I’m feeling low, I’ll make myself do jumping jacks. Also, we’ve sort of just started putting on music that we like and trying to dance, regardless of how silly you might feel, and it really helps. At the end of the night, I read to my daughter, which really calms us both and puts us in an alternate reality without having to turn on a screen. And I take baths—I think that helps a lot. I like Epsom salts.”

8. Maria Bello

Maria Bello played Anna Del Amico on season three and four of the show. She also produced the 2022 film, The Woman King, and talked about why she wanted to tell the story to The Hollywood Reporter. “The Woman King was definitely born of my love of the continent in general.

9. Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett played Catherine Banfield on the final season of the show. In an interview promoting Mission Impossible: Fallout, she shared her typical diet. “Monday, Tuesday, I may eat carbs, fruit; Tuesday, Wednesday, protein, veggies—veggies every day—no fats those four days, and then the last three days, I flood it with fat. Good fat, though: maybe coconut oil, salmon, almonds, almond butter, you know, olive oil, that sort of thing.”

10. Maura Tierney

Maura Tierney played the role of Abby Lockhart on the show. In an interview with Salon, she talked about her feelings on society. “In life right now, I think we need to know what's true. I find it very disturbing that untrue things are being allowed to go unchecked. I feel just so dismayed, in terms of what's happened to the truth. We almost need a new word. We need to make up a new word because truth, it seems to be not mattering at all.”

I was on IMDb writing down like character names to the actor and the actress so that I didn't make a fool of myself because I got the wrong character name and put it to the wrong person. I didn't want to do that."

It’s meant I can’t do certain things.”

14. Gloria Reuben

Raven Bowens plays the character Chanel Dupree. She talked about her wellness secrets with Soap Opera Digest. Bowens revealed her typical diet, and she eats pretty healthy. “I’ll have a green tea in the morning. When I’m working, I’m usually rushing, so I’ll have a spinach, egg white, feta and sun-dried tomato wrap that I get at Starbucks. For lunch, when I’m working, I’ll go to the Whole Foods across the street. I’ll usually have chicken and broccoli — that’s the vegetable that I love — and probably potatoes, too. I’ll either have that or a turkey bacon avocado sandwich on ciabatta. A typical dinner on a good day is chicken, rice and vegetables, or salmon, rice and vegetables. For snacks, I like Tosi SuperBites; the cashew coconut ones. They sell them at Whole Foods. I also always have almonds in my dressing room and mixed nuts with cranberries.”

2. Lauren Koslow

Lauren Koslow plays the role of Kate Roberts. She and her co-stars shared their diet and exercise tips with Soap Opera Digest. “In terms of exercise and diet, I find it helps to think in terms of health and wellness and not necessarily in terms of weight,” Koslow said. “Make it a decision to be in the most healthy condition that you can be in. Some of the tips along that line, especially if you’re thinking about a plant-based or more healthy diet, is when you’re at the supermarket, read labels. Also, try to shop the outside aisles of the market, where they have fruits and vegetables, and stay away from processed foods. Try to shop organic, when you can, or sustainable or local.”

3. Camila Banus

Camila Banus plays Gabi Hernandez. She also shared her fitness secrets with Soap Opera Digest. “I’ve noticed my workouts are far more effective, if I write out a list. For some, it may be on their phone. For some, it may be on their tablet. I personally like to have a paper written out with little boxes I can check off as soon as I get that exercise done. I feel super-complete and super-rewarded that I finished my workout for the day.”

4. Jessica Serfaty

Jessica Sefaty plays Sloan Petersen. She talked about her workout secrets with Soap Opera Digest. “I have a trainer, and I love doing Pilates and hot yoga; I like taking dance, boxing and spin classes. I’m in and out of the gym in an hour. It’s an easy goal. You can do almost anything with resistance bands. Ankle weights are also good. That’s all you need if you’re going to do something at your house.”

5. Carson Boatman

Carson Boatman plays Johnny DiMera on the show. He talked about his fitness routine with Soap Opera Digest. “I used to go to the gym six days a week and was working one-to-two muscle groups a day, lifting [weights] pretty heavy and intensely. I’m trying to lean down a bit, lose a little bit of mass. So I’m working out four days a week, maybe five, and instead of isolating muscle groups, every workout is more full body mixed with a little HIIT cardio. It stands for high intensity interval training.”

6. Aketra Sevillian

Aketra Sevillian plays Talia Hunter on the show. She shared her secrets for working out on a consistent basis with Soap Opera Digest. “It helps to set goals and start off small. Try to do 30 minutes a day in the gym, or go three times a week. Don’t try to go every day and stay for an hour. That’s not going to make it fun. Try to make the gym fun, because if you make it fun, you’ll want to go back. I try to keep it simple. If I can’t get to see my trainer, I have a gym at my apartment. I’ll go down for a few minutes, get on the treadmill and listen to a podcast or an audio book. I also have a dog, Zola. She helps keep me active for sure. I have to take her on walks every day. Make exercise fun and set two realistic goals for yourself a month, and try to help keep yourself accountable. Also, grab a partner. Grab a friend. Working out with somebody is always fun.”

7. Christopher Sean

Christopher Sean plays the role of Paul Narita, and returned to the series this year. He tells Soap Opera Digest that he likes to switch up his workouts. “Monday through Friday, I do different push-and-pull exercises. Yesterday I did shoulders and back. Today, I’ll be doing biceps and back. The reason I’m changing the exercises every week is because it’s something known as ‘muscle confusion’. The body adapts so quickly that the best transformations happen with the most uncomfortability. So you must continuously shock your body and keep it uncomfortable.”

8. Remington Hoffman

Remington Hoffman plays the role of Li Shin. He tells Soap Opera Digest that swimming is one of his favorite exercises. “I swim laps for about 45 minutes to an hour once a week. When I’m doing really well, I do that two or three times a week. If anybody wants to do something that’s more simple to generally get into good shape, I would say that swimming is definitely number one. You get a sort of runner’s high, a rush of endorphins. Also, you’re less likely to get injured in a pool than doing any other sport, which is really important if you want to lose weight or be in shape long-term. It builds lean muscle. It burns fat. It’s also a cardiovascular activity that uses your full body.”

9. Brandon Beemer

Brandon Beemer played Sean Douglas Brady on the show. He talked about his approach to diet and eating to Soap Opera Digest. “What you put into your body, you have to put out in energy and activity. That’s how I keep a balance. If I want to eat bad, I feel like I have to earn it before I decide to eat bad, instead of saying, ‘I need to work it off’ after I eat something [unhealthy]. So get ahead of it first and earn it.”

10. Galen Gering

Galen Gering plays the role of Rafe Hernandez on the show. He shared his diet secrets with Soap Opera Digest. “One of the other main keys for me is not eating past 7:00 at night, and I’ll eat a light dinner. Then I’ll usually wake up hungry, which is great, and I’ll have a good breakfast. And you want to eat healthy, clean food, obviously. You don’t want to be putting fried or processed food in your body. It’s not only full of saturated fats, but it’s going to slow your machine down. We don’t want that. We want our metabolism to rev up. We want to put things that are natural into our body.”

11. Eric Martsoff

Eric Martsoff plays the role of Brady Black. He shared some of his wellness secrets in an interview with Soap Opera Digest. “I don’t believe in diets,” Martsoff said. “I don’t believe in depriving yourself of anything. I’m a believer in moderation, which means I enjoy my cocktail at night, but I pay for it in the morning during my workout.”

12. Victoria Konefal

Victoria Konefal played Ciara Brady on the show. She shared her workout secrets with Soap Opera Digest. “I go to the gym every day for at least an hour. I hate cardio, so my go-to for that is the Stairmaster, because it gets my cardio done very quickly. It also works out my quads and my glutes, so it’s two birds with one stone. When I get to the gym, I head to that machine first. Then I play around with free weights. It also depends on what I’m focusing on that day, whether it’s a leg day or arm day or ab day. I switch up the routine. For leg day, I do variations of squats and dead lifts. For arms, I’ll do kickboxing — that’s always good, or the rowing machine or pull-ups and push-ups. For abs, I do the Ab Ripper X, which is an online video for abs, specifically. It’s 15 minutes and over 300 different ab movements.”

Abigail Klein is the latest actress to play Stephanie Johnson. She talked about her workout secrets with Soap Opera Digest. “I love doing at-home Pilates. I subscribe to this Pilates instructor, Tasha Franken. I try to do a Pilates video three or four times a week. If I have a lot of energy, I’ll do a 40-minute one. If I’m waiting for dinner to cook and just have a little energy, I’ll do a 10-minute ab routine. I find that so much less daunting than going to a gym and figuring out what all the equipment is. Also, every day I like to do a long walk. I also just bought one of those little mini stair steppers. Now that it’s colder and the sun is setting earlier, on days when I’m getting home from work late, I can throw on my TV and do a little [stairstepping workout].”

Linsey Godfrey is the most recent actress to play Sarah Horton. Godfrey is open about her mental health and having bipolar disorder. In a video, she said that she wanted to reduce the stigma around bipolar and other mental health disorders. “There is such a terrible stigma around those of us that may deal with mental health disorders. We aren’t broken, we aren’t unhinged, our brains just work differently. We aren’t any less capable of being anything that a person without these or any other disorders can be.”

Arianne Zucker has played Nicole Walker since 1998. She also has her own website and blog. In this post, Zucker talked about her fitness. “I will share this with you. I can't stand the gym. I will do anything else, but go to the gym. I did work out with an amazing trainer for 3 years, so that he taught me a lot. I bought my own weights for home, so I could at least work out my arms while watching a movie or listening to a great podcast like Everything From A to Z. Shameless plug. I also just recently started working out with a system called TAPfit. It's like these taps shoes that fit over your work out shoes and you can do a tap dance work out with it. I love tap dancing and I thought this was a fun way for me to do both.”
