1. Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek has amazing skin, and she shared her secret with ELLE. “I use an ingredient called tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” she explained. “There’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us. Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings. I’m 48. I will be 49 this year and I only use my creams.”
2. Penelope Cruz

Hayek and Penelope Cruz are best friends. Cruz shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with ELLE Canada. “I get enough sleep and exercise. I also practise Transcendental Meditation; I did it for years in my 20s, and it really helped me. An occasional long massage is also great.”
3. Angelina Jolie

Hayek and Angelina Jolie are good friends. The two starred in the 2021 Marvel movie, Eternals. Jolie is an outspoken advocate for several causes, and she talked about this with The Guardian. “I don’t think I came into this business because I wanted to be an actor,” she revealed. “I came into it because that’s where you could have a voice. When you have somebody who controls the finances and controls the family narrative because they are public, you’re all under that person.”
4. Channing Tatum

Hayek worked with Channing Tatum on the third film of the Magic Mike series, and the two developed a close friendship. Tatum revealed in this Instagram post that he does a lot of ocean swimming to keep himself in shape. “I have done all kinds of bullshit to get in or stay in shape,” he wrote in the caption. “Almost everything you can think of. And I have to say nothing yet has been more suffocating and exhausting and effective than freestyle wrestling or open ocean water swimming.”
5. Reese Witherspoon

Hayek and Reese Witherspoon are close friends. Witherspoon talked about her wellness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. In the interview, she shared how she unwinds after a busy day. “I listen to, like, relaxing music that really sets the mood for bed. It's either, like, scrolling through TikTok or reading a book, and I find reading a book much more beneficial for my mental health. Reading really is like a relaxation technique for me. It takes me to another place. I'm thinking about these characters. I get very immersed in their world. And everything else kind of fades away.”
6. Linda Evangelista

One of Hayek’s best friends is supermodel Linda Evangelista. The model talked about her Sunday routine to Harper’s Bazaar, and included her skincare secrets. "My beauty routine is almost the same every single day, but of course on the weekend you have more time to enjoy some whims. Sunday is such a great day to end the week and prepare for the next, so I make it as relaxing as possible.”
7. Antonio Banderas

Hayek has known Antonio Banderas for over 20 years. They have worked on several films together, notably the Puss In Boots franchise. In an interview on The Today Show, Banderas showed his appreciation for Hayek. “She’s a real friend. Every time that we’ve been working together, immediately there is a chemistry that is very difficult to explain. I don’t want to intellectualize it. It just happens, and it’s great.”
8. Gemma Chan
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Gemma Chan on the film Eternals. Chan opened up about her go-to workout to British Vogue. "It’s a blend of yoga, sun salutations, and a little bit of Pilates core work. It only takes about 10 minutes but I find that if I do that in the morning, it sets me up for the day ahead and my posture is better."
9. Ryan Reynolds
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Ryan Reynolds on the 2017 film, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and the 2021 sequel, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. Reynolds’ trainer, Don Saladino, talked about the actor’s diet to Men’s Health. “We introduced carbohydrates and I think that’s when his physique changed. Sweet potato is one of his favourite carbohydrates. He’d do oatmeal and protein in the morning. Brown rice and a little bit of fruit. His body became the best it has ever been when he started consuming carbs; it gave his body the energy it needed to start looking the way he wanted to start looking.”
10. Lady Gaga
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Lady Gaga on the 2021 film, House of Gucci. The singer tells E! News that she’s all about self-care. "It gives me an extra boost of confidence. I feel I'm able to brave whatever is coming my way because I've really taken time for myself."
11. Adam Driver
Shutterstock
Hayek also worked with Adam Driver on House of Gucci. Driver also plays Kylo Ren in the Star Wars series, and works with trainer Simon Waterson to keep himself in shape. Waterson talked about working with the actor to Men’s Journal. “There is no doubt Adam’s military career came through in our workouts,” he said. “I didn’t have to push Adam to go hard. He had all of that motivation. It was more about slowing him down.”

Salma Hayek needs nothing else for a perfect summer besides beer and a swimsuit. The 56-year-old actress is having a blast on a scuba diving trip with her friend and instructor Martina Engel, and sharing highlights from the adventure. Hayek posted pictures of the pair happily posing in bikinis and wetsuits, well-earned drinks in hand and snacking on oranges. “Hanging out with my favorite dive master,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hayek stays ageless and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Knows You Love Her Bikinis
See on Instagram
Hayek celebrated hitting 25 million followers on Instagram by posting a very tongue-in-cheek video of herself working out in a swimming pool. “I can’t believe it, 25 million followers! Thank you soo soo much to every single one of you. 🙏 Seeing as you all like my bikini pictures the most 👙, here’s a bikini work out for you all. I hate exercising- but I love to celebrate good moments dancing in the water. I am genuinely moved and grateful for all your love & support 🥰.”
2. She Is Brave

Remember the infamous scene-stealing snake dance Hayek did in From Dusk Till Dawn? It turns out she wasn’t exactly prepared for that. “They just kind of threw me on the stage with the snake, put the music on and said, ‘Hey, dance!’” she says, adding that there was no choreography—she was left to her own devices. “I was feeling insecure [and] just wanted to get through it. It was a really small part but to my surprise people really remember that moment.”
3. No Hair Dye, Please
Shutterstock
Hayek’s gorgeous dark locks? All natural, all her. The actress no longer has the patience to sit through endless root touch-ups. “It’s my natural color, and it’s my natural white hairs,” she says. “One of the reasons I don’t dye my hair is because I don’t have the patience to sit through it. I don’t want to spend what’s left of my youth pretending I’m younger and then not enjoying life.”
4. She’s Very Funny
See on Instagram
Hayek fought typecasting to be allowed to do comedy (no one could forget her star turn in 30 Rock). “I was typecast for a long time,” she says. “My entire life I wanted to do comedy and people wouldn’t give me comedies. I couldn’t land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy [2010’s Grown Ups], but I was in my forties! They said, ‘You’re sexy, so you’re not allowed to have a sense of humor.’ Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but you were not allowed to be funny in the ’90s.”
5. No Botox or Fillers
See on Instagram
Hayek’s secret to beautiful, ageless skin? Golden face masks and chicken soup. “I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin, and there’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us,” she says. “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings.”

This gallery celebrates 11 talented women from The Big Bang Theory and their off-screen habits that keep them energized and glowing.

Kaley Cuoco played Penny for the entire series’ run. She makes sure to workout on a regular basis. “You never leave a workout and go, ‘I wish I didn’t do that,’” she told TODAY. “Even if it wasn’t the workout you envisioned, even if it it was a little bit more low-key. Getting a good sweat sets the whole tone for the day.”

Melissa Rauch played Bernadette Rostenkowski from the third season onward. She shared some of her favorite foods to cook with in an interview with Parade. “Lots of whole grains, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Something that’s not in the book that I make a ton is stir-fries with tofu. That’s also quick and easy. It's tofu-based, but not necessarily tofu. Have you heard of Shirataki noodles? House Foods also makes them. They’re so great and kids think that they are eating spaghetti. It’s also got protein and is healthy for them. I love that.”

Mayim Bialik played Amy Farrah Fowler from the third season on. She is open about being a vegan. Bialik shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with The Beet. “Carrots are my go-to, any fruit really: grapes and berries are easiest. A handful of nuts. And air-popped popcorn! And Boba non-dairy milk tea.”

            
                Christine Baranski

Christine Baranski played the recurring role of Beverly Hofstader on the show. She talked about the importance of wellness in an interview with Parade. “Being a performer, you have to stay healthy, get your rest and be physically and vocally in shape. I’m not an exercise fanatic or terribly strict about my diet, but I eat well, sleep well and exercise. I just came from a Pilates class and, whenever I can, I power walk, take yoga or dance in my living room. When I have more time, I’d like to go back to my ballroom and Afro-Cuban dancing.”

            
                Sara Gilbert

Sara Gilbert played Leslie Winkle on the series. In an interview with Prevention, she revealed that she is doing the Spread The Health challenge, which involves working out each day. “I've let exercise slide since having my third child, and I wanted to put it back into my schedule—to regain both the physical and emotional benefits. I decided 15 minutes a day would be a manageable goal. I found it was easiest to squeeze in a daily walk or jog, though one day I was able to do an hour of yoga.”

            
                Alessandra Torresani

Alessandra Torresani played the recurring character Claire. She is open about her bipolar 1 diagnosis. Torresani talked about how she manages her mental health to 1 and 1 Life. “My husband and mother are so supportive. They help me with so much, and they are also extremely supportive. I have a daughter to live with for now, so when I need extra help, my mom and husband are there. I always use the analogy of if I was on a plane with multiple people. I have to put my oxygen mask on first, you know if I’m feeling on edge or if a manic episode is coming on.”

            
                Lauren Lapkus

Lauren Lapkus played Denise on the last two seasons of the show. She talked about what inspired her to become an actor in an interview with We Live Entertainment. “When I was in high school, I started taking improv classes at Improv Olympic in Chicago. That was really the huge thing for me, where I started finding my voice comedically and figuring out how I would end up getting my dream of becoming an actor. I think that path can be so amorphous and hard to figure out when you have no connections to the industry. So at the time just doing improv was a great creative outlet. Then I could see that it led to things like Saturday Night Live or TV shows and the teacher that was there.”

            
                Sara Rue

Sara Rue played Stephanie Barnett in season two. She opened up about how her diet and approach to eating changed in an interview with Cosmopolitan. “I used to zone out without even realizing I was overeating. Because I'd lose track of what I'd eaten, I'd feel like I hadn't had enough food. What really helped me was becoming a conscious eater. I became someone who really paid attention to what I was putting in my mouth. I think that awareness gives you perspective so you can go, ‘I don't need to eat that because I just had this.’ It becomes a reasonable dialogue in your head as opposed to unconscious zombie eating, which happens to a lot of people who are really busy and running from place to place or from job to job. When you really become conscious of what you're putting into your body, you want to make healthier choices for yourself. I didn't cut out any particular foods to lose weight, but I now eat a mostly plant-based diet.”

            
                Riki Lindhome

Riki Lindhome had a recurring role as Ramona Nowitzki on the show. In an interview with The Times, she talked about her struggles with infertility, and how women shouldn’t feel ashamed about it. “Women are often made to feel it’s somehow their fault: they’re not taking enough supplements or they’re taking too many supplements. They’re not doing acupuncture or doing too much acupuncture; they’re not working hard enough at it or they’re working too hard. We are supposed to find this perfect Goldilocks balance in everything. And never be stressed, because that’s also your fault. In reality there’s so much we don’t know about fertility, why one pregnancy works and another one doesn’t, and no one should ever feel ashamed.”

            
                Regina King

Regina King played the recurring character of Janine Davis beginning in season six. She shared the skincare advice she received from her mother and grandmother with Glamour. “My mother emphasized the importance of moisturizing, all the way from our scalp to our toes. We always oiled our scalps and were mindful of dryness—we were a family with humidifiers. Right after we'd get out of the shower, while our skin was still damp, we'd put on Vaseline or lotion. I know I sound like an ad, but I'm really dead serious. My grandmother seriously had the softest skin I ever felt in my life, and Vaseline was always in the house.”

She captioned it, “My first orange tree! When I was a kid in Pennsylvania I had a kumquat plant and I so wanted them to taste good but they were really bitter. Today’s oranges ... 💯 🍊”

I need to feel healthy in my life, and I need to take pleasure in food, and I need to not use my body as an exercise of control when I feel out of control in my life.”

So I find the way that I achieve the body that I want for myself is to lengthen, to lean and to tone. And I get that all with yoga, Pilates, and Soul. I love Modo Yoga. I love a heated yoga class. I love to sweat. I love having to change my clothes after a workout. I think that there's no better feeling than when you really sweat during a workout.”

"My workout routine isn’t something that’s fixed," she says. "I try to listen to my body and do at least 10 minutes of movement a day. It's hard to motivate yourself to work out when it’s the same activity every day, so I can’t stand going to the gym.”

Gomez and Nicola Peltz have been spotted hanging out over the past year. Peltz shared some of her skincare secrets with Cosmopolitan. “Drink as much water as you can. I know it's hard and not fun to do, but just drink it. Never sleep with make up, wash it off! Always wear sunblock. Get a really good serum, my favourite is the SkinCeuticals it's called Blemish +Age [Defence Corrective Serum], I'm obsessed with it. Moisturise your face, the more the better, go to bed all moisturised.”

Francia Raisa and Gomez have been friends for years. Raisa was even Gomez’s kidney donor. She shared some of her favorite foods with Women’s Health.

8. Miley Cyrus

9. Julia Michaels

Julia Michaels co-wrote Gomez’s hit song, “Lose You To Love Me”, and the two have a good friendship. Michaels tells DSCENE that authenticity is important to her when it comes to music. “It means everything to me honestly. I’ve based my entire artist career around it. I’m not shy to talk about things I’m feeling or going through. I’m grateful to have a fan base that understands me and connects to my music. I know it doesn’t appeal to everyone, but I’m grateful to the ones that it does.”

Longoria is close friends with Reese Witherspoon. She talked about her skincare secrets in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “As far as skin care is concerned, just really making sure I'm cleaning and washing my face twice a day, particularly on heavy-makeup days, and moisturizing and adding all the serums, because they really do make a big difference.”
3. Victoria Beckham

Longoria’s best friend is Victoria Beckham. The fashion designer and former Spice Girl talked about her diet in an interview with Vogue. “Fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I’ll detox for anything from three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.”
4. Diana-Maria Riva

Actress Diana-Maria Riva co-starred with Longoria on the show Telenovela. She tells The Los Angeles Times that she has a space in her home just for relaxing. “There are many nights when I come home from work and I want a little tranquility and serenity and this space affords it to me,” Riva says. “It feels private and protected. You can see the colors of the sunset, and there is plumeria with beautiful pink blossoms. But it doubles as a great entertainment space with wonderful conversations when people come over. I like anything that makes you feel happy to be in my house.”
5. Marcia Cross

Longoria and Marcia Cross starred on Desperate Housewives together. Cross talked about her recovery from cancer with Coping Magazine. “I’m very lucky, but it does take a while for your body to kind of get back to normal,” she said. “I say the new normal is that I am more sensitive of what I eat and take better care of myself and my diet … I do like to remind people that there is life post-cancer, and after a certain time, it won’t be the first thing you think about every day.”
6. Penelope Cruz

Longoria and Penelope Cruz are good friends, and she attended Longoria’s wedding. Cruz shared some of her workout secrets in an interview with ELLE. “I studied classical ballet for 17 years, and it had so many benefits for me.

7. Katy Perry

Katy Perry attended Longoria’s wedding. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Perry talked about how she got in shape for her Vegas residency. “I’m back in the gym about three to five times a week, but really it is about strength training and weights. We also like to hike. Orlando has one of those hiking backpacks that we can pop Daisy into; she loves it."
8. Anna Faris

When Longoria received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Anna Faris showed up to support her. In an interview with Women’s Health, Faris talked about her approach to aging. "I've never had a completely normal cycle, so now that I've passed 40, I do wonder about being premenopausal — and sometimes I feel like my eyes can't focus quite as well. But the larger picture is that I feel happier as I get older. You know how in your 20s and 30s you think, '[Aging] must be so miserable?' But I don't have as many hang-ups now. There's a wonderful liberation."
9. Jaime Camil

Actor Jaime Camil attended Longoria’s wedding. He talked about how he eats healthy to Entertainment Tonight. "I do this food service where you receive your breakfast, your snack, your lunch, your snack, your everything, because I have a lot of cravings," Camil explained. "So if I didn't commit to that service, I would eat everything you put on this table."
10. Jennifer Lopez

Longoria is close friends with Jennifer Lopez. She works with trainer, David Kirsch, to keep herself in shape. Kirsch shared some of Lopez’s workout secrets with Vogue. “Jennifer and I do a lot of platypus walks with a wide stance. Also known as a sumo walking squat. It’s great for your inner thighs and butt. We mix some cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body into her workouts - they are very, very intense and she takes it very seriously, which is exciting for someone like me.”
11. Jessica Alba

One of Longoria’s good friends is Jessica Alba. Like Longoria, Alba loves to cook. She shared some of her recipes in an interview with Byrdie. “My family likes when I make Cornish game hen—or stir fries, pastas, and lasagna,” Alba said. “The kids are pretty easy; they like pretty much everything. I like to cook. In the summer, we do a lot of grilling; in the winter, we do roasting. We always have roasted veggies. I kind of like to cook anything depending on the weather. If I ever wrote another book, I’d want to do a cookbook. I’d love the excuse to cook for six weeks. It’d be the dream. Each meal would have to be 20 minutes; I like to cook fast.”
12. Kate Beckinsale

Longoria’s friend, Kate Beckinsale, talked about changes she’s made to her fitness routine to Shape. “I love yoga, and that’s all I used to do, but hardcore workouts have really made a big difference in my life,” she said. “I have a lot of internal energy, and intense exercise helps me channel that energy. I find balance by doing a workout that makes me pour sweat. I never was that girl before, but I am now.”
13. Nicollette Sheridan

Nicollette Sheridan starred alongside Longoria on Desperate Housewives. Sheridan opened up about how she handles stress to First For Women. “Sometimes fear causes me stress.  Not fear like jumping out of an airplane, but anxiety about everyday things. So when that crops up, I look at it, identify what I’m afraid of and figure out why I’m feeling that way. Then I take a small step to start walking through it. No matter how big the fear you’re facing is, it’s the same formula to get through it: Take small steps and find the positive… and you can overcome anything!”
14. George Lopez

Longoria is good friends with George Lopez. She even guest-starred on The George Lopez Show, and he attended her wedding. Lopez talked about how his diet has evolved to theBrain & Life podcast. “I've made fun of soyrizo on stage, and then I went to the market. Then I got some, and I made it the way my grandma used to make it, with the pan on top of it to let the little balls unravel. And with some eggs, and you can use egg, whites, whatever. And it's just as good soyrizo as regular chorizo. And I think the stains in your shirt come out faster if you wash your shirt, but it's all good, man. If you gave yourself an opportunity to, even just with rice or bread, or go to the market and start with a tortilla. I eat a cauliflower tortilla that to this day you wouldn't have been able to convince me that was it was a cauliflower. I had somebody on a cooking show make cauliflower buffalo wings with sauce, and it's cauliflower, but you could not convince me that that didn't taste like a buffalo wing. And it was cauliflower.”
15. Vanessa Williams

Vanessa Williams also worked on Desperate Housewives with Longoria. In 2014, Williams talked about her diet and exercise to ABC News. "I try to do something everyday, whether it's taking a class or jumping on the treadmill," she said. "Also, yoga, just trying to keep moving for sure."

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

            
                She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

            
                She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

            
                She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

            
                She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

            
                She Cooks

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.
Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

            
                She Uses Eye Patches
            
            
        Brandi Glanville/Instagram
One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

            
                She Walks 
            
            
        Brandi Glanville/Instagram
Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

            
                She Has A Dog
            
            
        Brandi Glanville/Instagram
As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

            
                She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

            
                She Uses CellSound
            
            
        Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

Kat McNamara is a successful actress. She is known for her role in fantasy and superhero projects like Shadowhunters, Girl vs. Monster, and Arrow. McNamara just shared her fitness challenge for the year on Instagram. In a recent video, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. McNamara received a lot of praise in the comments. She captioned the post, “Switching it up!💥New year, new workout adventure! Thanks @laurajquinn for once again putting me through my paces! 🤣 We’ve come a long way from ballet to @alo! 🩰”

McNamara is seen doing Pilates in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The benefits of Pilates are both therapeutic and preventive. The practice may help you recover from an existing injury or manage a chronic musculoskeletal issue. It may also help you establish a healthy baseline, so that when those injuries or issues arise, you’re able to bounce back faster.”

            
                She Boxes
            
            
        ​She loves boxingShutterstockMcNamara shared some of the things she did to stay in shape for Shadowhunters in an interview with Women’s Health. One thing she did was box. “It builds the shape of muscles I needed to look like a fighter, and it's just plain fun," she says.” Boxing has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Regular physical activity, including boxing, can lower your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease.”

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

            
                She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

            
                She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
