1. Jessica Biel

Biel’s makeup artist, Daniel Martin, shared her skincare secrets and favorite products with Refinery29. “There’s not a ton of moving parts when it comes to Jessica’s skin-care prep,” Martin said. “It’s basically two parts: toning and moisturizing. To start, I love this Mario Badescu lavender toner because it’s calming and gives the skin a balanced refresh.”

2. Beverley Mitchell

Beverley Mitchell was Biel’s co-star on 7th Heaven, and the two have remained best friends. Mitchell shared her diet secrets and changes in this blog post. “My stomach has always been an issue for me, growing up I always had horrible stomach aches. Nothing I ate ever settled with me and I was always sick. Years ago I finally went to a doctor and found out that my body struggled with many different foods. I instantly cut all problem foods out of my diet and noticed instantly a huge change.”

3. Jennifer Garner

One of Biel’s closest friends is Jennifer Garner. In an interview with InStyle, Garner talked about her skincare routine. “My skincare routine takes about 90 seconds at the most. I think I spend longer brushing my teeth than I spend doing my skincare routine. I would rather have it be something that I can do consistently every single night without fail than feeling like I’ve got to get set up to put moisturizer on.”

4. Joey Fatone

Joey Fatone is a close friend of Biel’s and her husband’s, Justin Timberlake. He talked about his weight loss secrets to OK! Magazine. "I hate working out so there's a nice good jump start to really start my journey into getting back into like being healthy and working out and stuff like that again. And I think it definitely does, because you've seen the results now. And I don't wanna screw that up."

5. Lance Bass

Lance Bass is another of Biel and Timberlake’s friends. He shared how his workouts have changed since becoming a parent to Bustle, and shared his favorite new machine. “I just got a Tonal machine, and it completely changed my life. Even if I only have 10 minutes, I can go to my bedroom and lift a little and I feel better. Plus, it comes with virtual trainers, so I can get workouts tailored to my shoulder and knee injuries.”

6. Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano is friends with Biel. She shared some of her wellness secrets with The Cut, and revealed that she loves the Atkins diet. “I’m not really good at dieting and I just think that for me, that word is setting myself up to not succeed. So really, the Atkins lifestyle has allowed me to not feel deprived, and to keep my energy level up throughout my crazy, crazy day. I feel healthier while I’m trying to balance it all.”

7. Chelsea Handler

Biel’s friend, Chelsea Handler, shared her wellness and life secrets with Byrdie. “I'm focusing on the macro, instead of the micro—focusing on spreading joy and light… and focusing on skiing, that's very important to my well-being, because I love to ski more than anything else. And focusing on travel and doing the work that you know, work that's meaningful to me. Spreading good messages, not taking my platform for granted in any way. Everything I do is with that in mind to actually make a contribution rather than doing something that's just going to get me more money.”

8. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is another of Biel’s friends. She talked about developing a skincare routine to TODAY. "What actually got me out of that decade cycle, was [saying] ‘OK, I'm just gonna stop everything, I'm going to stop all the actives and I'm just going to gently exfoliate my skin and moisturize every day.’ And I realized actually putting moisture back into my skin was what it needed, because my skin barrier was so imbalanced."

9. Melanie Lynskey

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,22,,2023:,Melanie,Lynskey,At,TheShutterstock

Melanie Lynskey worked with Biel on Candy. Lynskey is open about her struggles with body image and insecurities, and talked about how she deals with it to InStyle. "Sometimes, I get tired of hearing about my body, even when it is positive. I just, you know, feel like I need a break from thinking about it and hearing about it and I think all women feel that way.”

10. Pablo Schrieber

Pablo Schrieber worked with Biel on Candy as well. He shared how he got in shape for his role in Halo to Men’s Health. “I have a great trainer, Eddie Raburn, who I've been working with since [2018 heist movie] Den of Thieves. We attacked this one in some familiar ways and some new ways. I'm 44 years old now, and every day that passes, things get a little bit harder, so there's a lot more focus on recovery and mobility in addition to the usual routine of just eating a lot and lifting a lot of weights.”

11. Raul Esparza

Raul Esparza is another of Biel’s Candy co-stars. In an interview with Token Theatre Friends, Esparza argued for more complex representation of Latin characters. “I think Latinx culture feels too varied and too multiple to be contained. And people in Hollywood especially—I feel a little bit less so with the theater because the theater is a physical place where talent can really blossom, talented people can come in the room and kind of blow you away and they’ll get hired, hopefully. With Hollywood, I think that there are constant efforts to put people in boxes because it is easier, because you are casting personalities, types. And I think that also, in American culture, there is such a constant interest in things being Black and white, yay or nay, A or B, and there’s no room for complexity. And that means there’s no room for complexity in human experience either. There’s no room for the difficult explanations.”

We found the wellness secrets of actress/guru Gwyneth Paltrow and her star-studded circle. From Paltrow's advocacy for natural products (via Goop) to Cameron Diaz's unique breakfast routine, each celebrity offers a glimpse into their health philosophies. Jennifer Garner emphasizes self-confidence, while Beyonce's rigorous stage prep is revealed. Dakota Johnson shares her diet strategy, and Ross Mathews narrates his weight loss journey. Fitness apps are Jessica Alba's go-to, while Robert Downey Jr. and Jennifer Aniston divulge their workout and fasting regimes. Rita Ora and Emma Roberts close the list, highlighting varied exercises and self-confidence insights.


1. Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow is vocal about her love of natural products. “Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is to read labels and know what’s in a product before putting anything in or on my body,” she said to W Magazine. “There can be so many unnecessary ingredients in products that we just don’t need, and even scarier, there are a lot of toxic, harmful ingredients that are masked by product marketing.

2. Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is one of Paltrow’s close friends. She shared her diet secrets in an interview with Bon Appetit. “I’m a protein girl in the morning. That’s a big thing for me. A lot of my friends can't stomach breakfast, but I have a first and a second breakfast. At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

3. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner is another close friend of Paltrow’s. Garner is all about having self-confidence. She shared her tips for building it with TODAY. "When you start getting super critical of yourself, turn around, pivot in that spot and go do something nice for someone else. Or go work out, or just take that and make it active instead of letting it just fester in you."

4. Beyonce

Beyonce and Paltrow are close friends. They are often seen hanging out, and Paltrow introduced Beyonce’s performance at the Grammys. The singer’s trainer, Marco Borges, shared her fitness secrets with Glamour. "I stretch B at the end of every workout. Sprints are ideal for building stamina and explosiveness. Which B needs to move across the stage.”

5. Dakota Johnson

New,York,,Ny,-,June,13,,2022:,Dakota,Johnson,AttendsShutterstock

Paltrow has become close friends with actress Dakota Johnson, due to the latter’s relationship with Chris Martin, Paltrow’s ex and the father of her children. Johnson works with trainer, Ramona Braganza, to help her stay in shape. To prep for Fifty Shades Freed, Braganza had Johnson try the 3-2-1 diet. “It’s just proportions, when to eat, smaller meals and more meals,” Braganza told Healthista. “So things like having three meals a day, two snacks and a minimum of one litre of water a day.”

6. Ross Mathews

Paltrow is close friends with Ross Mathews. She even wrote the backward to his book. Mathews opened up about his weight loss and diet changes to PageSix. “My choices are just like yummy, good, healthy food. I call them my 'rossipes,' and I cook every day. I broke up with pizza, and then I fell in love with the love of my life, my husband, and we just take really good care of each other.”

7. Jessica Alba

Paltrow is close with Jessica Alba, and the two filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke together. Alba shared with Marie Claire that she uses fitness apps to help her stay in shape. “I downloaded a few apps and I'll watch YouTube videos of different fitness folks. So I signed up to [the Equinox+] app and they do meditation, they do yoga, strength training. They have all those things and you can keep track of your health."

8. Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. and Paltrow play love interests in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Downey Jr.’s trainer, Brad Bose, shared how he stays in shape to play Iron Man in an interview. “We’d do intervals on the Perfect Storm, hitting his major muscle groups from loads of different angles, then finish up with a climb on a Jacob’s Ladder – an inclined climbing treadmill to improve cardio.”

9. Jennifer Aniston

Paltrow’s close friend, Jennifer Aniston, revealed to Insider that she loves intermittent fasting. "I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,” Aniston explained. “Fortunately, your sleeping hours are counted as part of the fasting period. You just have to delay breakfast until 10am."

10. Rita Ora

Another of Paltrow’s close friends is singer and TV host, Rita Ora. She tells Shape that she does a variety of exercises to keep herself in shape. “I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have. I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio.”

11. Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts and Paltrow recently saw each other at a party. Roberts opened up about her journey with self-confidence to Shape. “I used to have a complex about being short,” Roberts says. “Now I love that I’m 5’ 2". I’m strong, and that feels really good to me. I believe we are all innately confident. I believe we lose touch with ourselves and let other people’s opinions and thoughts get louder than our own."

Angelina Jolie stands out in Hollywood not only for her remarkable talent but also for her commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This article delves into the fascinating wellness journeys of Angelina Jolie and some of her close friends and co-stars, shedding light on their skincare routines, fitness regimens, and personal philosophies on health. From Salma Hayek's determination to defy expectations to Gwen Stefani's skincare secrets, this exploration offers a glimpse into the amazing bodies and lifestyles of Jolie and her illustrious circle. Join us on this journey to discover the secrets behind these Hollywood stars' enduring radiance and vitality.


1. Angelina Jolie

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,11:,Angelina,Jolie,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Angelina Jolie has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. Her dermatologist, Rhonda Rand, told Refinery29 that the actress lets her skin breathe when she’s not working. "The thing about [Jolie] is she never wears makeup unless she’s working — it’s probably another reason her skin looks good. She’s also good about removing makeup. I know her makeup artist is super careful about what she puts on her skin and takes good care of it when she's working.”

2. Salma Hayek

Salma,Hayek,At,The,Lacma,Art+film,Gala,Presented,By,GucciShutterstock

Salma Hayek and Jolie worked on the Marvel film Eternals together. Since then, the two have developed a friendship. Hayek talked about having to work hard to achieve her career to NPR. "I have had to fight, very, very hard for every little mediocre part I ever got. They told me: You'll never work. I got to work. Then they said: It's going to be over at 35. And I'm 50. ... I take so much pleasure in proving everyone wrong. It's such a great satisfaction."

3. Ellen Pompeo

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,21:,Ellen,Pompeo,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Jolie is close friends with Ellen Pompeo. The Grey’s Anatomy star told People that she and her family went on a vegan diet together. “I don’t think it’s tricky at all — it’s actually easier because meat you have to cook it before it goes bad. Grains and lentils and rice and beans, everything’s in the pantry already. You just have to get vegetables, but vegetables stay good for a week — and I think we all feel better.”

4. Gwen Stefani

MontÈ,Carlo,,Principality,Of,Monaco,September,,26,,2019.,Gwen,StefaniShutterstock

Gwen Stefani is one of Jolie’s close friends. She’s known for having amazing skin, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with LVR Magazine. “Besides exercise and eating right, one skincare secret is hydration. I like my skin to look super dewy. It helps give your skin a youthful, moist glow.”

5. Jack Black

Jack Black worked with Jolie on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. They also spend Easters together. Black revealed on Twitter that he decided to cut out red meat for environmental reasons. “#MyEcoResolution is to stop eating red meat! I’m doing this to help limit catastrophic climate change and to support my mental health. What pledge will you take for our planet?”

6. Don Lee

Like their characters in the film Eternals, Don Lee and Jolie have a close friendship. Lee talked about his approach to fitness in an interview with Men’s Health. “At times, I’d ask myself why our family was so poor,” he says. “That is when my workouts helped me release my stress and anger. It was the only thing that I looked forward to and really enjoyed.”

7. Lauren Ridloff

Lauren Ridloff worked with Jolie in the film Eternals. The actress is an avid runner and even trained for the New York City Marathon. "It's just like getting up to brush my teeth," Ridloff told Shape. "You're not motivated to brush your teeth. It's just drilled into me...So, now that's [how I feel] about running. I get out of bed and I go for a run. It's just one of those things that I just have to do."

8. Seth Rogen

Los,Angeles,-,May,10:,Seth,Rogen,At,The,PlatonicShutterstock

Seth Rogen worked with Jolie on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. In an interview with GQ, Rogen revealed that he cut back his drinking. “Like, why am I getting blackout drunk at these things and hating myself the next day? And I think I realised I had been lied to about alcohol and that it held a place in society for the wrong reasons.”

9. Elle Fanning

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,15:,Elle,Fanning,At,The,28thShutterstock

Elle Fanning worked with Jolie in the live-action Maleficent films. She shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Vogue. “I’m very pale so every day I wear a lot of sunscreen to stop me from burning. I wash my face morning and night, and some evenings I take a soothing salt bath. It’s a nice decompressor at the end of a long day.”

10. Gemma Chan

Gemma,Chan,At,The,24th,Annual,Critics',Choice,Awards,HeldShutterstock

Gemma Chan is another of Jolie’s Eternals co-stars. Chan talked about her beauty routine to Allure. "I swear by Boots No. 7 for their skin creams. I use their Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum as well as their Early Defence Day Cream. It has UPF [Editor’s note: UPF means Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is how the Brits refer to what we call SPF], but is still a lighter formula. I use their Protect and Perfect Night Cream as well. It’s effective, super affordable. I also use the Simple Micellar Wipes. They’re great because they don’t leave an oily residue on my skin, which I can’t stand."

11. Lucy Liu

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,07,,2023:,Lucy,Liu,AttendsShutterstock

Lucy Liu is another of Jolie’s Kung Fu Panda co-stars. She talked about wanting to prevent anti-Asian racism in the media to Women’s Health. “This proves, without a doubt, that words matter,” she says. “It clarifies that when violence happens, [it’s because] the seed has been planted through thoughts and words that give people permission to act out their frustrations and anger. People who use [racist] words, or who don't use their words to protect other people, are complicit—regardless of what side or color you represent in the political atmosphere.”

Drew Barrymore shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Shape. She says that she likes to meditate. "A 20-minute [meditation session] can be such a game changer, but for anyone who's like, I can't find that 20 minutes or that discipline [to meditate], I so relate."

2. Cameron Diaz

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,July,10,,2014:,Cameron,Diaz,AtShutterstock

Cameron Diaz is Barrymore’s best friend. The two starred in the Charlie’s Angels film series. Diaz opened up about her diet in an interview with Bon Appetit. “Since my mid-30s, I've been conscientious about my eating and good nutrition. It's not really something I grew up with. What I really learned about aging was the five pillars of well-being. They're integrated and we need 'em all.”

3. Lucy Liu

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,07,,2023:,Lucy,Liu,AttendsShutterstock

Lucy Liu and Barrymore starred in the Charlie’s Angels films together. In an interview with Women’s Health, Liu says that she doesn’t believe in following societal norms. “I do what I want according to how I feel,” she says. “I don’t have to fall into a social norm of ‘now you’re going to get married.’ No! Not because I’m rebelling against it. When it’s right, it’s going to be right. But I’m not going to do it for the sake of doing it. Marriage is not on my bucket list. I don’t have a bucket list.”

4. Kristen Wiig

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,26:,Kristen,Wiig,Arrives,For,CarolShutterstock

Barrymore’s friend, Kristen Wiig, shared her diet secrets in an interview with Women’s Health. “I'm a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy. I drink a lot of water, and I'm addicted to cranberry juice. I do have a splurge day once a week when I can eat whatever I want. It's good, because it helps you stay on track the rest of the week. In the beginning, I ate anything I could see. But it's funny: The more you do it, the less you end up splurging."

5. Nancy Juvoven

74th Annual Golden Globe Awards, Executive Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 08 Jan 2017Michael Buckner/Getty Images

Nancy Juvoven and Barrymore have been friends since the 90’s. She shared her secrets for a healthy marriage with her husband, Jimmy Fallon, on Instagram. “You really want to pick someone who you don’t have to like every single thing the same, but you kind of have to have the same values in a way,” she said. “What makes you both laugh is fun because then you laugh together at the same stuff.”

6. Adam Sandler

New,York,,Ny,-,October,3,,2019:,Adam,Sandler,AttendsShutterstock

Adam Sandler and Barrymore have starred in several films together. He revealed his weight loss secrets on The Ellen Show. “I did the intermittent fasting…” Sandler said. “I allowed myself 6 hours a day to eat and just get so excited during those 6 hours that I ate a lot of pizzas. I kept looking at the clock going, ‘Alright, you got 40 minutes left to eat,’ and I would go bananas.”

7. Ross Mathews

Los,Angeles,,Ca,Usa,-,Mar,29,2019:,Ross,MathewsShutterstock

Ross Mathews co-hosts The Drew Barrymore Show. He shared his weight loss secrets in an interview with Page Six. "I've lost like 60 pounds, but I've kept it [off] for like three years. Cooking myself. Eating my 'rossipes,' choice by choice, deciding to stick around for as long as humanly possible. You never win this battle, you win by being in the fight."

8. Reese Witherspoon

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,April,13,,2023:,Reese,Witherspoon,At,TheShutterstock

Reese Witherspoon takes cooking classes with Barrymore. She shared some of her skincare secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. "I believe just the importance of taking off your makeup every night, moisturizing your skin, and sunscreen!

You boil it, and then—this is funny—and then you mix it all in with some tahini or something, and then you roll it in the kombu. I’m telling you, it’s good."

I make sure I do cardio most days and I am a big fan of Pilates and yoga, so I do a combination of both."

They were finding biotech solutions to these problems and creating sustainable products in very ethical ways by using sugarcane and not harming the environment.

Seeing this company that was so female forward and so environmentally forward was really encouraging and I was excited to be part of the Biossance family because of it.”

Aniston’s friend, Drew Barrymore, talked about her diet with EatingWell. "I eat pretty clean for the most part, which is hard for me to say about other areas of my life. I'm getting better as I get older. I did not [always] take care of myself. I didn't workout or eat healthy, I didn't take care of myself, I probably drank too much. I worked too hard and was an extremist. I resented it when people told me to find the balance. It's different now and I feel like I'm in a much better place. I feel better and I like it.

That part was really, really fun. Do you have any desire to share the incredible amount of knowledge and information you’ve absorbed over all of these years in a lane different than the acting.”

I decided I was going to have two protein shakes and a very small dinner every day. I did that for eight weeks, then I switched to a strict 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. I lost 25 pounds that way.

How do I do my job? That was tricky."

16. Matt LeBlanc

Aniston’s Friends co-star, Matt LeBlanc, talked about his show Episodes to IndieWire. “So many comedies nowadays, you go, ‘Yeah, I can tell this is a comedy, but I don’t find myself laughing.’ Whereas I think this show was actually funny.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “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. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
