India Amarteifio played the younger Charlotte in the series. She revealed on Instagram that she has been working with personal trainers. “For the last two to three months, 2-3 times a week [my personal trainers] have been running me into the ground, but in the most rewarding and beneficial way. I have hopefully gained some physical strength, but also [my trainers] have highlighted how important your mental well-being is to your overall health, which I think has been incredibly valuable.”

Corey Mylchreest played the younger King George lll. He tells E! News that he worked with a trainer to prep for the show. "We would start, and I would stop and think, 'I've had a really intense workout, and I won't need to come back for a few days,'" he said. "And then they would say, 'OK, halfway through the warmup.' It was just painful. It was just pain."

Golda Rosheuvel plays the older Queen Charlotte. She revealed her training process for the role to Euphoria Magazine. “During shooting and in my normal life, I work out three times a week. I do weight training, and about six weeks before filming, I’d start eating healthy and drinking lots of water because I have to be match fit because it takes a lot of stamina to wear those costumes and those wigs.”

Arsema Thomas played the younger Agatha on the show. She talked about the positive response to the show to The Hollywood Reporter. “To see the positive response and the excitement and the applause from the Black community and really from everybody to this character and this story, I think is, unfortunately, the stamp of approval that the industry needs to show that these stories should be told. And you will still be successful in telling these stories — and that’s successful in big ass quotes.”

5. Adjoa Antoh

Adjoa Antoh played the older Agatha on the series. She revealed to Get The Gloss that she loves spending time outside. “It's very grounding to see the ebb and flow of nature when you're going through something in your own body's cycle,” Antoh says. “I've found it literally lowers the blood pressure, calms me and allows my eyes to rest in a wider vista away from the tiny screens we're fixed on for so much of the day now. My life has no routine so I just have to build it into my day wherever I'm working. I'll watch the sunrise, swim in the sea at any time of the year or go for a massive walk across the Sussex Downs, with a pair of binoculars, and do some birdwatching. I do it with my husband, too, which is a good way to be more alert to what's going on with each other and offer support.”

6. Sam Clemmett

Sam Clemmett played the role of young Brimsley. He also starred in Harry Potter & The Cursed Child. In a masterclass, Clemmett revealed he had to stay in shape for the role. “It's a very demanding show and very physical. So every day would start with a warm up of things like yoga and cardio to make sure we had the stamina to perform in the shows and not injure ourselves.”

7. Cyril Nri

Cyril Nri played Lord Herman Danbury. He talked about the importance of diversity in theater with The Fix Magazine. “Some of this is about the economic constraints on black and ethnic minorities communities who have less disposable income to spend on such pursuits. But equally if there aren’t real efforts made to have the people behind the scenes (directors, producers, writers) and onstage reflect your experience, why would a black audience get the catharsis that they seek from theatre?”

Josh Gates is one of the hosts of Expedition X. He talked about his approach to the show to MotorTrend.com. “I'm a big believer in that part of the experience, you know? If you talk to anybody about travel, just personally, so much of what they'll tell you about any trip is the mechanics of the trip. How the flight was, what went wrong, what went right, how they got stranded at that train station.”

10. Phil Torres

Gone are the days when being a member of a royal family meant strict rules and stodginess: The new generation of royals are showing they can be glamorous, play by the rules, and still have plenty of fun and be down to earth. Royals such as Kate Middleton, Princess Eugenie, and Lady Amelia Windsor are happy to share their health and fitness tips with the public, and prove that when it comes to staying in shape, they work as hard as anyone else. Here’s how 20 royal family members take care of their health.

1. Kate Middleton

Sporty Kate Middleton, 41, genuinely loves fitness and exercise. “It's running around after the children—I do it all, whenever I can squeeze in exercise I do, even jumping on the trampoline with my children before school,” she says. “We're always slightly competitive with each other. They all love sport and Louis is mad about rugby. They are at an age where they just love running around.”

2. Zara Tindall

Former Olympic equestrian Zara Tindall, 42, eats a healthy diet and avoids ultraprocessed carbohydrates. She starts the day with Greek yogurt and honey before working out on her stationary bike. “I don’t diet but I try to eat well and not to eat too many carbohydrates or sugary things,” she says. “Lunch is quick and simple, like soup and a sandwich or eggs and toast.”

3. Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle, 42, mixes up her workouts between dance-based and cardio. “I love running but I think you have to find a workout routine that really speaks to you beyond trying to get goals for your body,” she previously said. “So for me, running is I need it as much for my head and to clear my head as for keeping in shape. I love to jog. I do a lot of hot yoga, Moksha yoga specifically and then Pilates at Pilates Platinum in LA. 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.”

4. Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie, 33, loves exercising outdoors. “I get up around 6:45am to start exercising by 7am,” she says. “I go to the park from 7am to 8am. I do circuits – which I love because they're quick – burpees, squat jumps, lunges, the whole lot. Or I go with my best friend to this amazing, women-only gym called Grace Belgravia. For lunch, I walk over to the Detox Kitchen, which is right across Regent Street in Kingly Court. They do the best food, all healthy. There’s often a queue outside. I try to not eat at my desk because it's good to go outside, especially in the summer, and it’s always fun to explore Soho.”

5. Princess Beatrice

Princess Beatrice, 35, works with nutritionist Gabriela Peacock (and is godmother to her daughter), calling Peacock’s method “effective and realistic guidelines to follow no matter what you are doing in the day." Peacock recommends intermittent fasting and watching blood sugar levels. "It's anti-inflammatory, it prevents cardiovascular diseases and it's anti-aging, which is fantastic. And it really works for my clients' lifestyle,” she says. “Never eat fruit on an empty stomach because it will spike your blood sugar levels, as will coffee. It's fine to have them, but eat with a portion of protein too."

6. Lady Kitty Spencer

Model Lady Kitty Spencer, 32, enjoys spinning and barre classes, and refuses to follow restrictive diets. “I guess I’m doing these things on my own terms,” she says. “I don’t think it’s my job to starve to fit into an outfit. If I’ve agreed to do something for a brand or whatever, I look after myself but I’m not obsessive or unhealthy. If a brand wants to work with me, and think their designs look good on me, then they can give them to me in my size.”

7. Lady Amelia Windsor

Lady Amelia Windsor, 27, trains with trainer Lee Mullins, and is an accomplished swimmer. She uses resistance bands as part of her workouts, including a side bridge with hip circles (at least 30 seconds of repetitions). “It’s a fantastic drill to target the glutes, and also the obliques and side abdominals which we refer to as something called ‘the pillar’,” Mullins says. “Which is something that needs to be strong. Especially when we’re getting into some of the bigger moves in the workout.”

8. Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones

Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, 21, (the granddaughter of the late Princess Margaret) is an artist who loves cycling around London. “I loved it,” she says. ‘[It’s] lovely to be surrounded by beautiful things all day. I used to cycle into work on my old bike – with its baskets that look like saddlebags.”

9. Prince William

Prince William, 41, underwent military training, and is very active just like his wife. “Understanding our support networks is crucial because a lot of people don’t have a support network,” he says. “So I think in the military, we’re very good at being able to form close bonds and realize that the only way we can get through all this is to help each other and support each other through.”

10. Prince Harry

Prince Harry, 38, is known for his love of horse riding and polo. “We all know riding horses is good exercise,” says Dr. Dennis Sigler, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horse specialist and professor in the department of animal science at Texas A&M University. “Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories. If you do something a bit more strenuous such as cutting or reining, that can come out to nearly seven calories per minute for the entire length of the riding period.”

11. Princess Tatiana of Greece

Princess Tatiana of Greece, 42, is passionate about food and nutrition, and tries to stay active even while traveling. “[New York] is very fast-paced but arriving here yesterday, I landed at 11 p.m. and then woke up jet-lagged and went to SoulCycle and Juice Press,” she says. “So you have everything on your doorstep that you need to lead this healthy lifestyle, but maybe when you live here it's not that easy. Finding a balance, that's what we're all trying to do.”

12. Princess Madeleine of Sweden

Princess Madeleine of Sweden, 41, is fond of taking long walks around New York City’s Central Park with her family. “A pair of studies from the University of Exeter found that a 15-minute walk can curb cravings for chocolate and even reduce the amount of chocolate you eat in stressful situations,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “And the latest research confirms that walking can reduce cravings and intake of a variety of sugary snacks.”

13. Charlene, Princess of Monaco

Charlene, Princess of Monaco, 45, is a former Olympic swimmer. “My days are never the same and you can’t really choose what you get to eat at events,” she says. “I try to eat a lot of fish and fresh fruit and vegetables. And I drink a lot of water – it’s important to stay hydrated.”

14. Queen Rania of Jordan

Queen Rania of Jordan, 52, is known for her exceptional looks and charitable endeavors. The queen is said to practice yoga and work on balance in her personal life. 'Achieving a balance between work and motherhood is quite a feat—parenting in itself is a full time job,” she says. “My advice to working mothers would be to be kind to themselves.”

15. Princess Charlotte Casiraghi

Princess Charlotte Casiraghi, 37, sticks to an organic diet but doesn’t obsess or restrict too much. "I think there is no good or bad food, the secret is to eat it when needed,” she says. “I am not blameless. I do my shopping in organic places. I consume little meat. When it comes to food, I try to be reasonable… Horse riding is my passion. I’ve been riding since I was maybe three or four. Ponies at first, and then I’ve really always been doing it since.”

16. Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark

Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, 51, stays active and doesn’t diet. “Mary doesn’t follow a strict diet at all,” says her sister-in-law Leanne Donaldson. “She is so active she just burns the calories. Mary, like the rest of her family, is totally dedicated to exercise. She’s always walking, jogging, or riding a horse. And now she’s also running after four children – that’s guaranteed to keep anyone in shape!”

17. Princess Victoria of Sweden

Princess Victoria of Sweden, 46, battled with eating disorders in her teenage years, and is determined her family will not experience the same. “I needed time to sort things out and get my balance back again,” she said. “I needed to get to know myself, discover where my limits were, not constantly push myself too much.”

18. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, 52, loves cooking at home. "I grew up with Alfajores, they are my favorite cookies!” she wrote. “I bake them according to my mother's recipe, which I am pleased to share with you. So you can bake them yourself at home!"

19. Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece

Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece, 54, loves walking her dogs. “From 9pm to 9am dogs are allowed off the leash in Central Park, which is great,” she says. “So early in the morning there’s a whole doggy network in the park that takes place. I’ve never seen anywhere else other than Central Park where you have these hounds running loose and everybody’s socializing with their pooches early in the morning. It’s great fun.”

20. Queen Letizia of Spain

Queen Letizia of Spain, 50, is said to follow an anti-inflammatory diet with plenty of whole foods and protein and limited sugar. “An anti-inflammatory diet can help lower your blood pressure, boost your mental health and cognitive function, and relieve other chronic issues,” say the experts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. “You’ll also reduce your consumption of refined sugars and processed foods, often higher in calories. Eating more nutrient-rich foods makes you feel more satisfied while consuming far fewer calories, which can help you maintain a healthier weight.”

1. Missy Peregrym

Missy Peregrym played the lead character, Andy McNally. In a 2011 interview with SELF, she revealed that she loves playing tennis. "Three to four times a week, I get up at 7:30 a.m. while the courts are empty at Venice Beach and play full court one-on-one. Three games each up to eleven [points] ends up being 45 minutes to an hour of straight play. I'm incredibly competitive, so it's good to get this out of the way early in the morning so I can be patient with other things in my life."

2. Travis Milne

Travis Milne played the role of Chris Diaz on all six seasons. He also works on the Hallmark Channel, and talked about what he likes about it to MyDevotionalThoughts.com. “Basically our lives are stressful enough as they are,” Milne said. “I don’t want to add more stress. I don’t want to make stressful content. I want to make stuff that people watch and they can kinda escape with it. I mean, that’s what movies were in the first place, like during the Depression. Movie sales went up ’cause people wanted to escape to faraway lands that looked beautiful, and they were fun to watch.”

3. Priscilla Faia

Priscilla Faia joined the show as the character Chloe Price in season four. She opened up about her diet and favorite pastimes with Chilled Magazine. “I love to cook. I especially love to cook for my friends and family. If I can put some good wholesome food in the bellies of people I love, it’s a good day.”

4. Enuka Okuma

Enuka Okuma played Traci Nash on the show. In a 2011 interview with SELF, she talked about her favorite way to stay in shape. "I'm a fan of the gym, hiking, yoga, or just about anything to stay active, but I must say, hula hooping has got to be my favorite way to work out," says Okuma. "You have so much fun while hooping, and you're concentrating so hard on trying to keep the damn thing up that you don't even realize how many calories you're burning! I loved hooping as a kid, but as an adult, I now know there are so many benefits to this sneaky core work out I try and get in at least fifteen minutes of hooping a day."

5. Melanie Nicholls-King

Melanie Nicholls-King played Noelle Williams on the show. She talked about the secrets behind her long career to Parle Magazine. “My strength has always been my family and my friends who are like family. This business can chew you up and spit you out and if you don’t have some calm in the storm, it’s a very lonely journey. My family and friends love me whether I’m working or not and that makes all the difference.”

6. Lyriq Bent

Lyriq Bent played Frank Gest from seasons one to five. He shared how he approaches auditions to Backstage.com. “This is my own philosophy every time I do a job: I make my situation more difficult for myself. Because more is expected of you each time you do something successful. If you do anything less than that, now you’re acting like you’ve done it all. I know I’ve not been given anything. I’ve just been working, grinding, and you’ve always got to be mindful of the work and the effort that you put in so you can continue to be successful, whatever that is to you. To me, that’s about making a product that resonates with people.”

7. Rachael Ancheril

Rachael Ancheril played Marlo Cruz on the show. She participated in “Veganuary”, where people eat vegan for the entire month of January. Ancheril talked about how she learned to adapt and gave advice to others with The Lazy Hikers. “It’s been an incredible journey, and I encourage everyone to try it – and to those that try, applaud yourself! Don’t be hard on yourself, your journey is your journey. It took us four years to get to this point and every step of the way, big or little, is a step towards the inclusivity and connectedness I feel. Veganuary is SO supportive, and I use the information on their site throughout the year (and throughout ALL these years!).”
