Angie Harmon In Two-Piece Workout Gear Says “Hot Yoga Is HOT!”

Ever since Angie Harmon started doing hot yoga to help with symptoms of menopause, she’s become hooked on the practice—and it’s definitely working for both her, inside and out. Harmon, 51, shared a picture of herself wearing black leggings and a purple tank top, sitting cross-legged on a mat while flexing some impressive biceps. “Hot yoga is…. HOT! 🔥👏🏼💪🏼 #blessed #grateful #yoga #heat,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the Rizzoli & Isles star maintains her health, fitness, and wellness.

1. Thriving In Her 50s

Harmon is fully enjoying the relaxation that comes with age and doesn’t put pressure on herself to always be on the go. “I think the beauty of being in my fifties is that I definitely have those days where I don't feel like getting out of bed,” she told PEOPLE. “I'm exhausted. I just want to lay there and read a magazine about fashion or decorating and that's it. I'll get up and make my daughter’s lunch and get her to school and do the whole thing and blah, blah, blah. But I feel like I'm coming back home and it's one or two things, either laying down or working out. Whichever way the scale tips that day, that's where I go and I don't feel bad about it.”

2. Coffee and Supplements

Harmon always starts her day with coffee and keeps protein bars and bananas on hand for a snack. “I can’t do anything before coffee,” she told Viva Magazine. “She also re-energizes with daily vitamin and mineral supplements. “I have a full pharmacy in my trailer: brain support supplements that help with memory, acidophilus, garlic extract for overall health, hair, skin and nail supplements—I’m surprised I still have hair after what it goes through.”

3. Careful With Language

Harmon is mindful about the body descriptive terms she uses with her daughters. “When the girls were little, we never said words like ‘skinny’ or ‘fat.’ We always said ‘healthy’ or ‘in shape.’ Now that they’re older, it’s TikTok and everyone’s in bikinis and twerking,” she told Charlotte Magazine. “That’s been a tough one, letting them know they don’t need to get validation from pictures or images you post of yourself out there.”

4. No Sweets For Angie

Harmon loves really spicy food over sweets. “I eat really healthy and two of my daughters do too—the other is working on it,” she told Viva Magazine. “As for me, sweets are not my thing—I love spicy food. If it’s not on fire, it’s not hot enough. One of my favorite dishes was a Vietnamese Pho soup made with chilies. It was incredible. I’d even have that for breakfast.”

5. Hot Yoga and Menopause

Harmon switched up her workouts after going through the menopause. “I started hot yoga… and I mean you literally sweat out of your eyeballs and it is awesome,” she told PEOPLE. “Hot yoga. I'm telling you, you get in there and you just sweat. I used to be a runner. I used to do all that stuff and I do still, but it just doesn't do what it used to do to my body… It's just a StairMaster and hot yoga and three to five pound weights if I'm feeling really good that day. I've just become this hot yoga sort of walking woman. I was like, what, how did I get here? But on the other hand, it works, so okay, I'll do it.”

1. She Does Pilates

Pilates is January’s go-to workout. "Two or three years ago I started doing barre classes, and after that I took regular private Pilates lessons. Then a friend told me about Lagree Pilates," she told Shape in February 2020. "I’ve been doing it two to four times a week for the past year now, and I’ve gained weight because I’ve put on muscle. I’ve gone up a size in clothes, but I feel like I look better naked."

2. She Also Does Yoga

January also loves to do yoga. She trains with Kirschen, a private yoga instructor based in Los Angeles, and regularly shares photos of their sessions together. “Whether you’re a couch potato or a professional athlete, size and fitness levels do not matter because there are modifications for every yoga pose and beginner classes in every style,” explains Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California to the American Osteopathic Association. “The idea is to explore your limits, not strive for some pretzel-like perfection. It is a great way to get in tune with your body and your inner self.”​

3. She Loves Group Fitness

January is all about exercise classes because “music is good” and the routine changes so “it doesn’t get boring.” She added to Shape: “I like having women on both sides of me to push me. When I did the private Pilates lessons a couple of years ago, I just saw myself getting lazy with it because there wasn’t that drive for competition. For me, that’s what’s motivating. If there’s someone strong next to me, I definitely want to up my game. I find myself looking forward to it more than I’ve ever looked forward to a workout.”

4. Her Diet Is Healthy, Organic, and Balanced

“I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I want something—steak, a bagel—I’ll eat it. There’s no diet or strict set of rules,” she dished to Shape about how she eats. “I don’t get hungry until around 10 a.m., but since I usually do Lagree at 9:30, I’ll make myself eat a banana beforehand so I don’t get too shaky. Then I have a MacroBar afterward and eat lunch around 11:30—usually salad, soup, or a sandwich,” she revealed. She also loves to cook and might make salmon with french fries or pasta for herself and son, Xander. “We try to have lots of green veggies,” she added. One way she gets her greens in? “Last winter, I started drinking celery juice every day, and I’ve seen amazing results in my energy, digestion, and skin and how I sleep. I have that in the morning, then I take my vitamins and drink coffee.” She also eats organic. “No antibiotics or hormones in meats is really important to me, and so is eating sustainable fish. I don’t want to be that annoying person in the restaurant who’s like, ‘Where’s this fish from?’ But I do it anyway.”

5. She Does Cardio Barre

January told InStyle that she likes Cardio Barre, a combination of traditional barre moves with non-stop movements. “I feel better. I feel stronger. It’s muscle, obviously. I gained weight, but I feel tighter and more energetic, and exercising is legit,” she explained.
