1. Rob Lowe

Rob Lowe played Sam Seaborn on the first four seasons. He shared his approach to fitness in an interview with GQ. “I'm training in a very different way than I used to. The hardest thing for me has been to train less. I would train every day if I could—and, frankly, kind of punishing myself. If I don’t feel like I've just killed myself in the gym, I feel like it's been wasted time. Turns out, that's not true—it's particularly not true when you're not in your twenties and thirties anymore. So I'm really focusing on diet, rest, and being smarter and more strategic about the training.”

Allison Janney played CJ Cregg for the entire show’s run. She revealed her secrets for avoiding craft service with The Chicago Sun Times. “I really just try to put blinders on and not look at it,” she says. “It’s not easy, but every day we make our choices. This week, I haven’t made it past the brownies every single day. I don’t know why, but I decided I deserved a brownie…or two…or three. I figure that I’m working so hard that I must be burning the calories."

3. Bradley Whitford

Bradley Whitford played Josh Lyman on all seven seasons. He revealed his current workout routine in an interview with People. "As I've gotten older, I have to be careful with my knee. I'm doing a play right now, and so I've been going to a gym and sort of pathetically lifting weights sort of regularly, and walking, and just getting up and down counts as a squat."

4. Moira Kelly

Moira Kelly played Mandy Hampton in the show’s first season. She also appeared on One Tree Hill. Kelly did an interview with her co-stars from that show on their Drama Queens podcast. In it, she talked about the importance of setting boundaries. “You have to claim it, because they’re not going to give it to you. You have to claim it and then be okay with it. You have every right.”

5. Kristin Chenoweth

Kristin Chenoweth joined the show in the last two seasons as Annabeth Schott. She shared her skincare secrets with New Beauty. “I do all the magic potions and lotions just like everybody else, but I will tell you this: You can spend a lot of money on moisturizer, or you can spend a very little amount of money on moisturizer. To me, just moisturize! I do love the sun, and with a little bit of the Native American DNA that I have in me, I attract the sun and I tan easily. So don’t forget to moisturize. You want to stay hydrated.”

6. Dule Hill

Dule Hill played Charlie Young on all seven seasons. He revealed to AARP that he loves to dance, and that he turned to this during the pandemic. “I've taken the time to just enjoy the stillness, to check back in with myself, to recenter myself. Thankfully I have a dance floor in my garage. I have a Murphy [dance] floor. I pull the car out, I pull it down and I can dance. That's been a great place to practice my craft, to have an avenue of expression. I believe artists are artists, whether your expression is to a wall or a stadium full of people. Obviously, we prefer to have it reach someone but sometimes art is just for yourself to express. I'm thankful I can have my dance floor.”

7. Taye Diggs

Taye Diggs played Wesley Davis in season four. He shared some of his wellness secrets in an interview with Closer Weekly. “I try to be careful with my diet but I enjoy a good meal and won’t deny myself,” Diggs says. “I play basketball and tennis, too. But really it’s just good genes!”

8. Janel Moloney

Janel Moloney played Donna Moss on the show. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she revealed how she made the character so important in the first season. “I made every morsel — I didn't care if Brad was handing me a piece of paper and I had no lines. I was making a choice, I was making it about something, I was throwing a detail in there. There was no way anyone was gonna send my ass home. That was my goal." This made Moloney be promoted to the main cast for the rest of the show.

9. Danica McKellar

Danica McKellar had a recurring role as Elsie Snuffin in season four. She revealed to FOX News that she eliminates a lot of unhealthy food from her diet. “I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t drink coffee. I stay away from unhealthy food. I don’t eat sugar or gluten, not that gluten’s necessarily unhealthy, I stay away from dairy. I just keep it as clean and simple as possible. I do eat meat, but very clean cuts of meat, no bacon."

10. Joshua Malina

Joshua Malina played Will Bailey from seasons 4 to 7. He shared his secrets for eating healthy while acting with Parade. “It’s very easy to divide a long shoot day into 15 or 20 rounds of ‘What do I eat next?’ I try to fight that by bringing in my own food, and by gravitating to the more healthful choices lovingly provided by our great craft service guys Barry and Mark. I particularly dig the veggie juice bar.”

11. Clark Gregg

Clark Gregg had a recurring role as Mike Casper from seasons 2 through 5. He struggles with anxiety and his mental health, and shared how he manages it with Men’s Health. “Cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT] was a game-changer for me, and remains a game-changer. I find it calming to know that wherever I am, I don’t have to wonder if I have a pill nearby; I just know I can do these exercises, and it's going to become manageable.”

3. Tiffani Theissen

Tiffani Theissen joined the show as Valerie Malone in season five. She shared her approach to exercise with SELF. “I’ve always been someone who doesn’t like doing the same thing every day, so I like to change my workouts up.

In California we have such great hikes.”

4. Brian Austin Green

Brian Austin Green played David Silver on the show. Green has both ulcerative colitis and vertigo, and has dealt with stroke-like symptoms in the past. In an interview with ABC News, he shared his advice for others going through similar things. “Go see multiple people. Get opinions from a few different places. You have to know that there will absolutely be a light at the end of this tunnel."

5. Jason Priestley

Jason Priestley played Brandon Walsh on the show. He supports the Breakfast Club of Canada, which helps people access healthy breakfast options. Priesltey encouraged others to support and revealed how they could do so in an interview. “When I heard that one in four kids here in Canada have problems having access to healthy food in the morning, I felt like getting the word out about the Buy a Cup Give a Cup program was the right thing to do. It’s such an easy way for Canadians to give to this program and to give to the Breakfast Club of Canada.”

6. Hilary Swank

Before winning two Oscars, Hilary Swank appeared as Carly Reynolds in season eight. She revealed to Man Repeller that she makes smoothies in the morning. “I use kale, spinach, blueberries, flax, chia and green — like a supergreen. The bottle has to say supergreen! I also use cacao and a frozen banana. And I never put an avocado in because that makes me gag. I have this every morning whether or not I work out because I don’t think I get enough vegetables or fruit in otherwise. I only use a handful — as much as I can eat because who eats ten apples? Nobody.”

7. Kathleen Robertson

Kathleen Robertson played Clare Arnold on the show. She talked about her career in an interview with Canadian Living. Robertson says that she is working on not getting ahead of herself and thinking in the present. "It's something I have to work on as I get older. When good stuff happens to me, my natural instinct is to say, ‘OK, cool,' and move onto the next thing.”

8. Ian Ziering

Ian Ziering played Steve Sanders for the entire series. He also is known for his role in the Sharknado film series, and shared how he stays in shape for those films to People. “Leg day is my favorite day,” Ziering said. “You can’t have a thorough leg workout without feeling completely spent. It’s a challenge, but the benefits of maintain muscle mass on my legs is important because, as the biggest muscle group in the body, it also helps me keep the proper body composition in terms of fat to muscle ratio.”

9. Vanessa Marcil

Vanessa Marcil played Gina Kincaid on the final two seasons. She talked about her approach to wellness in the caption of this Instagram post. “Being a workaholic for 24 years, the most important parts of health for ME aren’t working out, or what I eat, or whether I drink water,” she wrote. “But for ME it’s balancing my hormones with an endocrinologist, weekly anger release therapy, sleep, taking risks that scare me, laughter & having balance in my life with no shame allowed.”

10. Gabrielle Carteris

Gabrielle Carteris played Andrea Zuckerman on the show. She was previously the president of SAG-AFTRA. Carteris talked about her desire for more diverse stories in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. “One of my real interests is to work on inclusivity — looking at diversity and gender equity. That for me, being a woman, is really important. With our leadership, our top three officers are women, which is not something you see in unions around the country or in our industry. I think it’s a testament to our members and to our work that we are about inclusion.”

11. Cress Williams

Cress Williams played the recurring role of D’Shawn Hardell from seasons four to five. He also appeared as the lead character in the show Black Lightning, and shared how he got in shape for the role to Men’s Health. “From the moment I turned 39, 40, I really turned a corner and became a person who really enjoys working out. When I don’t get a chance to, I miss it. I also just recognized that it would give me career longevity if I kept myself in the best shape I could possibly be in. I do have my limitations, I have a bad knee and stuff like that. But I do the best I can. So it was already something that was in my routine. And getting ready for the show, I just sort of ramped things up to get more strength. Then my stunt double, who has become a really good friend, he started coming over and helping me with the fight aspects of it.”

1. Donnie Wahlberg

Donnie Wahlberg plays lead character Danny Reagan. He shared with TODAY that his success came from his strong work ethic. "I think when I was younger, it wasn’t so much, the success I dreamed was possible. I wouldn’t have worked so hard at it if I didn’t think it was possible. So, I did it, and I committed to it, and got there."

Bridget Moynahan plays Erin Reagan on the show. She tells Us Weekly that health and wellness are important to her. “I know everybody would love to hear about a secret pill or great cleanse,” she said of her wellness routine. “It’s just going back to what we were taught in school … eating and working out. I’ve just always been active. It’s been part of my lifestyle my entire life. It’s been instilled from my childhood.”

3. Will Estes

Will Estes plays Jamie Reagan on the show. He shared his training process for roles with Men’s Journal. “I try to train based on the role. I played a marine once so all I did was running, pushups and boxing. I did anything that was combat-oriented. I would go shoot and box and just sort of get into the whole mindset. In general I just like to run around and stay active. I did a little gymnastics when I was a kid so I'll run around and find a bar and try to do as many pull-ups as I can do. In terms of nutrition, I just try to eat clean.”

4. Jennifer Esposito

Jennifer Esposito played Jackie Curatola on the first three seasons. In an interview with Variety, she talked about dealing with career setbacks. “I just got so frustrated with where my career had gone and where it was supposed to go — the way I feel it should have — and I thought, ‘Instead of complaining about the stuff that you’re not getting and not seeing, I can’t complain anymore,'” she says. “It was like you’re either quitting or you’re going to do something about it. I would say, without being dramatic, ‘I don’t think I’d be able to die unless I do this.’ It was something that needed to be done.”

5. Sami Gayle

Sami Gayle played Nicky Reagan on the show’s first ten seasons, and has made a couple of guest appearances since. She is also a Broadway star, recently appearing in Bad Cinderella. Gayle talked about her goals in an interview with Broadway World. “I think the goal of having the MBA is to be able to make content that I'm passionate about, and I think it's useful to be able to produce to ensure that I can do that in today's world, where there are so many different streaming platforms, and platforms for performance. So, my hope is to be able to use that degree and producing background - I've already co-produced a movie called Candy Jar that my brother wrote, and we have a couple more movies currently in development- to continue doing that producing work. And continue telling stories that I'm passionate about for myself, and also empowering other actors and other playwrights, and screenwriters, and crew members, all that stuff in the process, to be able to tell the stories they want to tell too.”

Tom Selleck plays Frank Reagan on the show. He has been in the public eye for years, however, he values his privacy. "I knew intellectually what it would mean in terms of being a public person, but until you've lived it, there's no way to understand it," Selleck told People. "I had a feeling of, 'I don't think I'm cut out for this.' I quit Magnum, not because I didn't like it or I was tired of it. I was tired from it. And I wanted a three-dimensional life because I didn't have one."

7. Marisa Ramirez

Marisa Ramirez plays Maria Baez on the show. She joined the show in season three, and was promoted to main cast member in season four. In an interview with Pop Culture, Ramirez talked about how she booked the role. "There was a phase where I was the crying girlfriend. It was the sad girlfriend. It was like a bunch of guest star roles that was happening for a little while. Then maybe something happened in my personal life, where I just kind of evolved as a person and found some strength that was being seen in these casting rooms, and I just kept being cast as a cop."

8. Vanessa Ray

Vanessa Ray has played Eddie Janko-Reagan since the third season. In an interview with Long Island Weekly, Ray talked about how she prepared for the role. “Our producer, James Niciforo, who is the unsung hero of our show, took Marisa [Ramirez], Will [Estes] and I to a shooting range,” said Ray. “It was the first time I ever shot a gun since I didn’t really grow up with guns. I also did some SWAT-type training and learned how to clear a room. I have so much respect for police officers with the amount of gear that they’re wearing on a day-to-day basis and being in such great physical shape.”

9. Abigail Hawk

Abigail Hawk plays the recurring role of Abigail Baker. She talked about working on the show in an interview with Hamptons.com. “I feel as if I’ve almost grown into myself as a woman in this decade that I’ve been working,” she said. “Really, everything that I’ve learned as a professional actor has happened on my time on the show. It’s a personal triumph for me, but it’s also a professional and creative triumph. It’s incredibly rare for a network show to make it to 100 episodes, let alone 200.”

Lorraine Bracco played Margaret Dutton on the show. She shared her secrets for getting in shape in an interview with ABC News. "I started off very slow. My feeling is also, you sign up to go to the gym and you go to two classes and then you can't walk. It's just not the way to do it. Now, I go to Pilates class three times a week. I love that there are women who are in their 80s in my class and there were kids who are 23."
