Meghan Markle shared her fitness secrets in an interview with Shape Magazine. “I’ve been doing the Tracy Anderson DVDs, gosh for, five, six years almost now. I just find the results are great and you can do 15 minutes in my trailer - just find those little bits of time and at the end of the day you’ve had a full workout.”

Serena Williams is Markle’s longtime BFF. The tennis legend has a busy schedule, but she tells CNBC’S Make It that she makes time to relax. “Something I do every day is [to] completely turn my brain off, which sounds weird but because I work so much between tennis and running my other properties—Serena Ventures and Serena Clothing. But it’s a lot so I just need to turn my brain off and not think about anything.”

Patrick J. Adams is another of Markle’s Suits co-stars. He shared his fitness secrets with Men’s Journal. “I transformed a back corner of my yard into a workout space, which has become my favorite place at the house now. I’ve had these kettlebells from Agatsu for years, but lately they are really getting used. The company is from Canada, and I picked them up while I was filming Suits up in Toronto. Once we wrapped on the show, they spent months outside in the elements, but they stood the test of time and still do the job.”

Amanda Schull is another of Markle’s friends from Suits. She opened up about her diet to Women’s Running. “Healthy eating is definitely a challenge when I’m not in control of all of my meals. I usually make myself a green smoothie in the morning to take to work, and then practice as much self-restraint as possible when craft services brings naughty snacks around.”

I am a Tracy Anderson devotee and go to her NY studio for all my classes. I also love walking Thatcher, my dog, to and from work every day. My daily workout at Tracy Anderson is a moment for myself each day as is my meditation practice.”

I’ve never felt better.”

Gina Torres worked with Markle on Suits. She talked about her approach to fitness in an interview with Health Magazine. “With working out, it’s about strength — being able to run up the stairs and just feeling like I can get myself out of a situation,” she said. “I always want to come from a place of power, and of knowing my body. The fringe benefit of that is that I look great in some clothes … and am fit for life.”

Oprah Winfrey interviewed Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, in 2021. Winfrey is a Weight Watchers spokeswoman, and talked about the impact it has had in an interview. “Weight Watchers is easier than any other program I’ve ever been on. It’s a lifestyle, a way of eating, and a way of living that’s so freeing. You never feel like you are on a diet, and it works. I can honestly tell you I struggle no more. I’m eating everything I love — tacos, pasta. I’ve never felt deprived.”
