Ashley Greene In Workout Gear Says “Health Is Wealth”

Ashley Greene is reminding her fans and followers how important fitness and health are for overall happiness. Greene, 37, shared a video of herself wearing black workout gear, lifting weights at the gym and doing strength training exercises. “Being consistent with your health is the best gift you can give yourself. Mindset over motivation. @stark.health @stephanie_urbz #healthiswealth,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress stays fit, happy, and strong.

1. Active Lifestyle

Greene has always lived a very active life. “Growing up, my parents always encouraged sports and physical activity,” she told The Chalkboard Mag. I started martial arts very young, and I guess that would be the moment – I remember how much I loved always striving to be stronger, better and more disciplined. I have an app on my phone, Stretching Sworkit, that I like. It has both stretching and pilates. I also have a really steep, long driveway that I’ll sprint up and down alongside my pups.”

2. Rise Nation

Greene loves a good cardio session. “My favorite type of workout for a fun, fast-paced, full-body cardio fix would probably be Rise Nation,” she told SELF. “I love a great hike because it clears my head and I can take along the pups. And for an intense strength workout, I love training with Jason Walsh at Rise Movement.”

3. Lots of Water

Greene says she drinks water before, during and after her workouts. “When I’m at home I enjoy coconut water as well,” she told The Chalkboard Mag. “I mentioned Organic Muscle Milk previously, but it really gives me what I need to recover. I also drink tons of water to rehydrate – and the occasional iced green tea, if I need an extra pick-me-up.”

4. Loving Her 30s

Greene is grateful for every year that passes. “My mother always told me I’d love my 30s, and I finally understand what she meant,” she told New Beauty. “I feel like I am finally coming into my own, and I’ve got so much to accomplish in the years to come. I’m genuinely excited about getting a bit older and wiser.”

5. 30s Skincare Routine

Greene focuses on good hydration when it comes to her skincare routine. “Once I hit my 30s, I began to immediately see a difference in my skin if I neglected to hydrate it internally and externally, so there is a lot more focus on that,” she told New Beauty. “My beauty regime has certainly taken center stage. I love clean beauty brands that have limited but impactful ingredients. OSEA Hyaluronic Acid and Sea Cleanser, Beautycounter Vitamin C and #3 Balancing Oil are daily go-tos. Beautycounter also has a great overnight resurfacing peel I swear by. Ilia is my favorite clean beauty brand, their Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 is my favorite way to get daily SPF defense and a beautiful natural glow.”

British-Indian actress Sophie Choudry is reminding fans about the important things in life. Choudry, 42, shared a reel of herself doing a variety of different workouts, including one where she’s doing a mat workout in orange leggings and a black sports bra. “Good health is the greatest wealth!! Regular exercise, a healthy diet, nature, love and doing things that make your heart happy! Take care of yourself physically and mentally!!” she captioned the post. Here’s what the star’s diet, training, and wellness regimen looks like.

1. Weekly Workouts

Choudry works out four times a week. “I do Pilates, strength training, and cardio,” she told Times of India. “I go four times a week. I don't work out to be skinny or anything like that. As soon as work gets full-blown again, in terms of stage shows and shooting, you need to be fit to be in this line of work. It makes me really happy and I enjoy working out.”

2. Pilates Sessions

Choudry loves Pilates best out of all her workout choices. “I think if you are lucky to find the form of workout you enjoy, then you will be excited to go,” she told Times of India. “For some people, it's weight training, yoga, running, dancing. For me it is Pilates. Because I love it so much so it never feels like a routine or chores. It is something I am really passionate about. I still try to do some stuff online at home because I realized that I enjoy that. It is possible to stay fit at home. There is so much stuff available online on YouTube. It is really about your determination.”

3. Pandemic Workouts

Choudry switched to online workouts during the pandemic lockdowns. “I somehow managed to stay fit through lockdown by doing online sessions with my trainer, Yashmin Karachiwala, and followed YouTube videos,” she told Times of India. “With all of us being stuck in our homes, one thing we have to do is focus on our health. Working out helps me to keep my physical fitness and mental sanity. I got into such a good routine through the lockdown.''

4. Beauty Diet

Choudry likes to take care of her skin through her diet. “I know that people put all kinds of things on their faces. Fruits, nuts, vegetables but that's not my thing,” she told IDiva. “I prefer to eat healthy and let that reflect on my skin. If I feel a little pale in color, I start drinking a blend of apple, beet and carrot juice. In a couple of days, the skin looks brighter.”

5. Not a Party Girl

Choudry lives a quiet life. “Contrary to the glam-party image, I hardly ever drink and I don't smoke,” she told IDiva. “I'm in bed by 12AM and up at 7AM, and I eat healthy. But yes sometimes, if I've indulged in unhealthy goodies, I workout more, drink a lot of coconut water, mint tea and I eat a lot of salads and fresh fruit. That works well for me.”

1. She Claims Walking Is a Game-Changing Workout

Ashley revealed that walking was the workout responsible for making her feel like herself again after welcoming her first child. "Getting back with my trainer @harleypasternak has changed my body tremendously and honestly it's all about getting your steps in," she said in an Instagram Story. "His method isn't hard and my body isn't left feeling like I tortured it. I can't believe what my body has gone through over the last year and a half. I'm so grateful for it and honestly can't believe how strong I feel." Wearing a Fitbit, she aims for 14,000 steps a day. "All I do is walk lol but it's effective," she said. "I'm only sharing this because after months of working hard and trying everything, these small changes in the last three weeks is what have done the most," she continued. "It's the difference of how I feel. It's all about moving, finding ways of walking. Taking the dogs out with the baby for a stroll, taking meetings while walking vs. sitting." She also claims it is good for her mental health. "It's honestly what has helped my mental health as well," she added. "Having the extra energy from anxiety, just taking a walk and putting on a walking meditation always makes me feel better."

2. She Focuses on Low Impact Workouts

Tisdale, who has "borderline thyroid disease," adds that low impact workouts help her condition, in addition to diet. "I eliminate gluten (sometimes 😛), dairy and do everything I can to not have to rely on medication but a lot of it is not creating stress on the body and even though working out is great, the different methods can create more stress and do more damage," she said. "So using @harleypasternak technique helps me reach my goals but not over exert myself."

3. She Mixes Up Her Workout

In addition to training with Pasternak, Ashley also stays fit through a variety of other workouts. "I've worked my butt off. Whether it's hiking, Pilates, riding on my Peloton,” she wrote on Frenche.

4. Her Diet Is Balanced and Healthy

She also revealed on Frenche that diet is a big part of the equation. “While I haven’t mastered his recipes yet, I’m excited to dive deeper into them. He always says, ‘you can’t out-walk a bad diet,’ and I’m trying to live by that too,” she said about Pasternak’s plan. “In the past, I practiced yo-yo dieting that wasn’t sustainable instead of focusing on making lifestyle changes. That’s ultimately the opposite of Harley’s methods. He emphasizes the importance of fueling the body with food rather than depriving it of certain foods. My entire point is that while it’s easy to get caught up in wanting fast results from your diet and exercise regimen, it’s not a healthy mindset to have. It’s not a race; it’s a lifestyle, so I’m sure the more I do it, the better I’ll get at it.”

5. She Claims Ditching Dairy Is Responsible for Her Glow

“Skin never looked so good,” Ashley said in an Instagram video. “I would love to say it’s just the products I use but I’ve been dairy free for 5 years and I swear it changed everything with my skin. I barely break out,” she added. “I know it’s hard to give up something but when you do, after awhile, you barely crave it and I feel healthier.”
