Tom Hiddleston plays the title character on the show. He talked about how he likes to unwind to The Gentleman’s Journal. “The happiest times in my life are when I’ve been humbled by nature; when I feel folded into it. There’s nothing better than feeling small in a natural environment that has majesty to it. For me, there’s nothing in the world bigger or more profound. It’s vital.”

2. Gugu Mbatha-Raw

New,York,,Ny,-,July,25,,2022:,Gugu,Mbatha-raw,WearingShutterstock

Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays Ravonna Renslayer. She revealed to Female First that she likes to do trampoline workouts to stay in shape and that it is a life essential for her. “My trampoline. I can’t speak highly enough of trampolines. I mean, it’s a great workout but also a great mood booster.”

3. Wunmi Mosaku

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,21:,Wunmi,Mosaku,At,The,CallShutterstock

Wunmi Mosaku plays Hunter B-15 on the show. She talked about defying beauty standards as a black woman to Essence. “The pressure is always so high for women,” she says. “I feel blessed that I look like me. I’ve always had to love myself, through everyone else’s expectations, because there’s nothing that I could do to fit into their ideal. I’m not going to hurt myself. I’m not going to belittle myself. I know who I am and where I come from, and my people are beautiful. I’m not going to do anything but honor that.”

4. Owen Wilson

New,York,,Ny,-,August,8,,2022:,Owen,Wilson,AttendsShutterstock

Owen Wilson, who plays Mobius M. Mobius, talked about his gratitude for his career to Esquire. “I don’t know. I’ve been in sort of a lucky place of feeling pretty appreciative of things. I know everything’s kind of up and down, but when you get on one of these waves, you’ve gotta ride it as long as you can. I’ve just felt—yeah. Feeling pretty grateful. Well, grateful’s one of those words that get used all the time. Appreciative. Of, you know, stuff.”

5. Eugene Cordero

Eugene Cordero plays Casey on the show. He tells Character Media that he wants to support other AAPI actors and vice versa. “We try our best in the community to raise each other up,” he says. “Especially for Filipinos, it was tough. Luckily, as I was coming up, the world was changing for the better.”

6. Sophia Di Martino

Harper's Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards 2023 - ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Sophia Di Martino plays Sylvie. During season 1, she had just had a baby, and talked about returning to work with ELLE. Di Martino did a lot of her own stunts on the show. “It was a great opportunity to slowly try and get in shape again, with some of the best stunt performers in the world looking out for me and making sure I didn’t injure myself. We took it really slowly. I didn’t push myself too much. Being pregnant and having a baby is a huge strain on your body, so you have to build yourself back up really slowly. But what a fantastic opportunity to have [the training]. If it wasn’t for that, I would just be sat on the sofa eating biscuits. Like I am now.”

7. Sasha Lane

New,York,,Ny,-,April,8,,2019:,Sasha,Lane,WearingShutterstock

Sasha Lane, who plays Hunter C-20, wrote an essay about her hair to Byrdie. In it, she talked about her hair care secrets. “I just use oils—coconut oil, Morrocanoil, all of that. But my hairstylist, Nai’vasha, I never know what she is using, but she always has really good stuff. Whatever brand that she uses on my hair is good for the texture of it and moisture. She uses really natural products.”

8. Rafael Casal

Rafael Casal plays Hunter Z-5/Brad Wolfe on the show. His friend and co-producer behind Blindspotting, Daveed Diggs, talked about working with him to Backstage. “I don’t know how many things I would’ve actually gotten done if not for Rafael. He finishes stuff! He’s always putting it out in the world and then being like, ‘Fuck it, let’s work on the next thing, that’s done’—without even taking the time to celebrate. Like now, our movie’s not even out yet and he’s making deals for the next movie, sending me new script ideas.”

9. Richard E. Grant

London,,Uk.,October,19,,2018:,Richard,E,Grant,At,TheShutterstock

Richard E. Grant, who plays Classic Loki, shared his wellness secrets with the DailyMail. “I hate chocolate and cheese,” he says. “I run in Richmond Park, but I don’t go to a gym in the morning and I don’t do yoga. I stopped eating meat during mad cow disease, from 1990 until 2005, because I didn’t want to die before I’d lived 53 years – I wanted to live longer than my father. And no smoking or alcohol must have some effect on your health.”

10. Kate Dickie

BAFTA Scotland Awards 2022 – Winner's RoomEuan Cherry/Getty Images

Kate Dickie plays General Dox. She talks about how she approaches feedback and playing roles to The Guardian. “I’ve had people tell me, ‘Oh, I saw a film you were in and I didn’t even realise it was you.’ That’s great because it means that you’re doing your job properly – although it’s maybe not so great for networking. But my whole thing with acting is that I’m here to tell these characters’ stories as best I can, even if they’re not at a great point in their lives. I think I’ve got one of those faces that changes with the characters I play – I’m not a ‘pretty’ person, but I’ve got strong features. And to be honest I generally don’t do a lot of press or interviews or photoshoots because I’m not really bothered about how I look, and I tend to feel that the less you know about me outside of the roles I play the better.”

11. Ke Huy Quan

Ke,Huy,Quan,Attends,20th,Annual,Unforgettable,Gala,Presented,ByShutterstock

Ke Huy Quan plays Ouroboros on the show. Last year, he talked about his career to GQ. “I have come to appreciate all the low points, and now hopefully I'll get to enjoy some of the highs, because you can't really know what sweet tastes like unless you know the sour. Over the years I've learned to look at things from different angles, and I could never have played Waymond had I not believed in his empathy, in his optimism, in his kindness, in his true belief that we should treat people with respect. I've come to realize that family's really important, friendship is really important, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Because that's what makes life beautiful: to have someone to share it with.”

Discover the incredible fitness journeys of Natalie Portman and her celebrity friends. From her intense training for "Thor: Love & Thunder" to Chris Hemsworth's versatile workout routines, each slide reveals the secrets behind their stunning physiques. Learn how Scarlett Johansson's admiration for Portman led to a powerful collaboration, and Mila Kunis' advocacy for authenticity in the entertainment industry. Explore Eddie Redmayne's candid discussion on managing anxiety, Tessa Thompson's rigorous training schedule, and Jaimie Alexander's inspiring transformation for the Thor films.


1. Natalie Portman

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,23:,Natalie,Portman,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Natalie Portman did a lot of training to prep for her role in Thor: Love & Thunder. Her trainer, Naomi Pendergast, talked about her diet to Variety. “Natalie‘s typical diet during filming would be a vegan-based breakfast of oats and berries plus a protein shake,” Pendergast said. “For lunch she would have a vegan falafel dish again with a protein shake, and for dinner, a vegan curry and protein shake. This amount of food was obviously way more than Natalie normally eats, but it was essential for her to maintain this throughout filming to keep the muscle she had developed.”

2. Chris Hemsworth

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,23:,Chris,Hemsworth,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Chris Hemsworth and Portman have played love interests in the Thor films. Hemsworth shared how he stays in shape to play the title character with Men’s Health. “I add in a lot of other sorts of movement, flexibility and functional training. Bulk is nice, but being more agile is definitely important. I’ll do a ton of boxing or Muay Thai workouts. I surf a ton and I do a lot of yoga.”

3. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett,Johansson,Attends,New,York,Premiere,Of,Asteroid,City,AtShutterstock

Scarlett Johansson is one of Portman’s close friends. The two met on The Other Boleyn Girl set. In an interview, Johansson revealed that she wanted to meet Portman for a while. “A major part of why I joined the project, is because Natalie was involved. I’ve been a huge fan of Natalie’s for a long time, and I’ve always loved her choices and her performances. I’d never had the opportunity to work on such an even playing field with my peer. It was a great opportunity for both of us I think.”

4. Mila Kunis

New,York,,Ny,-,September,29,,2022:,Mila,Kunis,WearingShutterstock

Mila Kunis and Portman starred in Black Swan together. Since then, the two have developed a friendship. In an interview with Glamour, Kunis went bare-faced, and talked about the importance of not using photoshop and editing. “There was a company that I did a photo shoot for once that manipulated the photo so much, I was like, ‘That’s not even me.’ Like, what’s the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I’m not. I absolutely hate it. Now, do I sometimes want them to depuff my eyes, help me out with a little bit of lighting? [Sure.] But do I want them to stretch my legs, thin out my waist, curve my hips, elongate my neck, blah, blah, blah? No.”

5. Eddie Redmayne

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,15:,Eddie,Redmayne,Arrives,For,2ndShutterstock

Eddie Redmayne is another friend of Portman’s. He talked about how he handles anxiety to Men’s Health. “There is an anxiety that kicks in about you wanting to serve the story well. When you’re filming you only have a few hours to get a specific scene. You are always trying to come up with all the ideas you can in a specific amount of time. There’s nothing more frustrating than coming home from work after a long day and then coming up with an interesting idea. There’s always anxiety and trepidation. I suppose it keeps me on my toes. It can be really galvanizing, but something you have to learn to control.”

6. Tessa Thompson

Santa,Monica,,Ca,-,June,16,,2018:,Tessa,Thompson,AtShutterstock

Tessa Thompson worked with Portman in Thor: Love & Thunder. To prep for the role, Thompson enlisted trainer Amanda Walker. “We were training up to six times a week and she really worked hard,” Walker told Healthista of the actress’ workout. “The sessions varied because when you are on set you can’t fit in much. We just did what we could. Sometimes it would be an hour, but most of the time it would just be 20-30 minutes of work followed by some stretching and rehab work.”

7. Jaimie Alexander

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,10:,Jaimie,Alexander,Arrives,For,‘bloodshotıShutterstock

Jaimie Alexander also worked with Portman in the Thor films. She talked about how she got in shape for the films to Shape Magazine. “I wasn't very healthy in my twenties,” Alexander admitted. “I sat around and ate a lot of crap, and my weight peaked at 150 pounds. Then I got the part in Thor. I felt as if I had a whole new purpose in life. I was like, I can do this, but I was so out of shape. Chris and I started boxing to train for our roles, and I became the athlete I was in high school. I lost 20 pounds and packed on a ton of muscle."

The hit series "FBI" showcases not only gripping crime narratives but also a cast of stars with incredible bodies and unique fitness approaches. From Missy Peregrym's love for athletic roles to Alana de la Garza's trust in her creative process, these actors bring more than just their acting chops to the screen. Sela Ward's poolside laps, Zeeko Zaki's protein-powered transformation, Vedette Lim's desert hikes, and Ebonee Noel's technical dialogue mastery all contribute to their on-screen personas. Even Connie Nielsen's thoughtfully curated diet reflects her commitment to holistic well-being. Join us in exploring the inspiring physical journeys of these "FBI" stars.


1. Missy Peregrym

FBI isn’t the first action role Missy Peregrym had. She previously starred in the cop drama Rookie Blue and in the gymnastics film Stick It. According to an interview in People, these choices are intentional. "I like roles where I get to do stunts and be athletic, so I'm playing the vulnerability every woman has and also the ability to handle crazy situations.”

2. Alana de la Garza

2019 CBS UpfrontManny Carabel/WireImage

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.”

3. Sela Ward

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,15:,Sela,Ward,At,The,2018Shutterstock

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

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,4:,Zeeko,Zaki,At,The,KindShutterstock

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

HBO's "True Blood" Season 4 Premiere - ArrivalsGetty Images

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

New,York,,Ny,-,November,01:,Ebonee,Noel,Attends,TheShutterstock

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

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,13:,Connie,Nielsen,At,The,WorldShutterstock

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.”

11 Amazing Bodies from Terminator Films

Here's how they remain well now and into the future.

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

1. Emilia Clarke

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

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

2. Linda Hamilton

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

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

3. Arnold Schwarzenegger

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

4. Sam Worthington

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

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

5. Lena Headey

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

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

6. Common

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

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

7. Claire Danes

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

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

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

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

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

Manifest is a supernatural drama about people who return from a tumultuous flight to learn that five years have passed. It first premiered on NBC in 2018, and was canceled in 2021 after three seasons. It was then picked up by Netflix for a two-part final season and became a smash hit. How do its stars stay so fit? Read on.

Melissa Roxburgh played the lead role of Mick Stone on the show. She talked about dealing with an eating disorder, comments on her body, and beauty standards with Shape Magazine. "I think it comes with growing up and realizing the people making those comments are not entitled to make those comments," she says. "I understand aesthetically pleasing people are fun to look at. Great. But that's also not real life and I think the older I've gotten, the more I've realized I don't want to portray unrealistic ideals. That is so not fun and frankly, quite fucking boring."

2. Josh Dallas

Josh Dallas played the main role of Ben Stone on the show. He also directed an episode of season four, and talked about it to Numero Magazine. “The main thing I learned was that it’s about preparation in that situation, to be as prepared as possible as the director. And that’s knowing what I wanted from the scene, knowing how I wanted to tell the story visually, knowing what we needed from our characters at that particular time. And then once I had all that preparation as much as I possibly could, I could jump in front of the camera as an actor and be in flow, because I knew that the director had our backs and I knew that the director knew what was going on. So I think as far as directing, it was all about preparation for me and knowing it as well as I possibly could from every single angle that a director needs to know. And then I could be free as an actor in front of the camera.”

J.R. Ramirez played Jared Vasquez on the show. He talked about how his fitness has changed in the caption of this Instagram post. “You’ve gotta give credit where it’s due. I’ve spent most of my life trying to put size on. Working out 5 times a week. Trying different trainers. Different workouts… pretty much Bitching n Moaning about how much I hate the gym. Well little did I know one of the main things I was doing WRONG was Overtraining. Bout 8 months ago I found this incredible facility @diesel.optimization in Tampa, Fl. These guys @maxcicero @chrisrentas and many more have taught me how to workout in a way that properly engages my entire body without overtraining. Without feeling like I can get injured. Yes obviously having a trainer there makes a world of difference but The thing that really got me… is I’ve been doing this all on my own since April and I’m in the best shape of my life. I'm literally lifting two times a week and a day of cardio. That’s it…. You guys seriously rock! If you live in Tampa or pop in for abit I highly recommend checking them out! They’re the real deal. Much love fellas.”

Luna Blaise played Olive Stone on the show. She opened up about the show being canceled and picked up with Interview Magazine. “I signed a seven-year contract, we filmed continuously for four years. And then Manifest was canceled on NBC, and I had made my peace with that. But then Netflix picked it up for this last season, and we really did everything for the fans. It’s a great ending. And even though it’s really hard, I feel like I can finally wipe my hands clean and move forward.”

6. Parveen Kaur

New,York,,Ny,-,November,11:,Actress,Parveen,Kaur,AttendsShutterstock

Parveen Kaur played Saanvi Bahl on the show. She talked about being so close with the cast in an interview with Brief Take. “I think that Jeff Rake, our showrunner, has done a really good job of keeping us in the loop, you know, going out for dinners and we have a group chat, we’re constantly talking, and we have these means of communications that are with each other that are always open and I think that’s part of the reason that we’re all working so well together. Also, there’s no egos, because we just got lucky! There’s no egos on set. I mean, that can change, who knows, we’re only in the first season, but I don’t know the answer to why we get along. It’s just some people mesh and some people don’t, and luckily we just happen to be on a show in which everyone meshes very well.”

7. Holly Taylor

Holly Taylor played Angelina Meyer, and joined in the show’s third season. She did a “Inside A Day In My Life” interview with UsWeekly.

Alfredo Narciso plays the recurring role of Captain Riojas. He is also a Broadway star, and talked about what he likes it to Broadway World. “I do actually prefer theater. I love to rehearse, to discover and then to go out every night in front of an audience just to keep discovering, see how the performance goes. It's fun to work in television and film too but you get one shot at it and then you have to live with what's up there. So there's something really nice about being able to go out there every night and try and see what new things can come out.”

9. Curtiss Cook

Curtiss Cook played the recurring role of Radd Campbell on the show. He talked about his fitness routine to Muscleandhealth.com. “I realized that in order to keep this physical body, I needed to maintain it. I believe everything should be in moderation, so I started a regime strict enough that if I needed to be in great shape at any point, it wouldn’t take months on end to get there. I hover about six weeks out of what I’d call my ‘best body’, because I’m constantly doing something to maintain it.”

10. Francesca Faridany

Francesca Faridany played Fiona Clarke on the show. She also played Marie Curie in a play and talked about the experience to Women & Hollywood. “It’s essential for me to work with women. When we started this process, I found myself in a room full of basically 98 percent women, and it felt incredible. I realized that it remains very unusual to find myself in a place with that many women. That’s the biggest thing about this process that has been so impactful to me.”

11. Elizabeth Marvel

Elizabeth Marvel played the recurring role of Kathryn Fitz. She talked about why she wants her projects to Theatremania.com. “It's such a democratic approach to the arts, to make it accessible for everyone. The same thing is happening with education. And it's not about simplifying or dumbing down — it's more complicated, more demanding, and in some ways, more rigorous, but it's available to everyone. And that is so moving and so important. I'm so grateful for it because it feels like an act of service. It's not an act of ego.”

Kriti Sanon knows that staying fit doesn’t have to feel like a chore. The Bollywood star recently shared a video on Instagram rocking two-piece workout gear, proving that her fitness philosophy is all about keeping things fun and challenging. From TRX routines to hip thrusts, Sanon mixes up her workouts to stay motivated and strong. “It’s gotta be fun,” she says—and judging by her energy in the gym, she’s clearly found the perfect balance. Here’s how Sanon keeps herself in top shape with a variety of exercises that work both body and mind.

She Does TRX

Sanon does a lot of things to keep herself in shape. She is seen using TRX cables in her Instagram video. NIFS states that these exercises have a lot of benefits. “If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects. The workouts are simple yet very challenging, and you can easily complete a total-body workout only using one piece of equipment in 20 minutes.”

Strength Training

Sanon is seen doing a lot of strength training exercises in her Instagram video. Strength training has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Sanon is seen doing hip thrusts with a shoulder press in her Instagram video. Hip thrusts have a lot of benefits. Gymless says, “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

She Does Russian Twists

Another exercise that Sanon is seen doing in her Instagram video is Russian twists with a weight. Gymless says that this exercise is very beneficial. “Russian Twists are a great exercise that develops all parts of your core, especially the obliques, it also targets the shoulders and hips. This exercise involves rotating your torso from side-to-side while maintaining a sit up position with your feet off the ground. This rotational movement often occurs in sports, which makes it a popular exercise amongst athletes. It is speculated that this was developed during the Cold War by the former Soviet Union as a training exercise for the Russian Soldiers.”

She Uses A Stationary Bike

Sanon also shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen using a stationary bike. Penn State PRO Wellness reports that stationary bike workouts have a lot of health benefits. “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes.”

Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “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. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”
