Ashley Park in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Gym Selfie From Paris

Ashley Park is getting her sweat on in a fancy gym. In a new mirror selfie shared from Paris, the Emily in Paris star flaunts her washboard abs during a sweat session. She shared the photo in an Instagram Stories image. How does the actress, 32, approach diet and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Plant-Based Diet

Park, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at 15, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow, has to be careful what she eats. She generally maintains a plant-based diet, but does eat meat on occasion. “I am highly anemic because of what I went through with my cancer,” she told Shape. “So, I do like a nice steak every once in a while.” She tries to keep dairy and gluten to a minimum. “When I’m in America, those things don’t sit that well with me,” she says. ”But, for some reason, when I am in Europe, I can eat an entire bread basket and so much cheese, and it’s fine.”

2. Personal Training Sessions

Park told Women's Health that she relies on personal training over exercise classes to stay in shape. "I don't do personal sessions because I'm fancy," she said. "It's literally because if I take a class, I will find a way to cheat. When someone is one-on-one with me, it's such good accountability."

3. Running, Dancing, Cycling, Yoga

Park maintains variety with exercise. “I’ve done everything — I had a big yoga phase, a big cycling phase, a big running phase,” she lists. “And I’ve always loved dancing,” she told Shape.

4. Pilates

Park aso loves Pilates, which she tries to do three times a week, she told Women’s Health. “It feels very athletic, but it’s low impact,” she added to Shape. “I sweat a ton and feel much stronger when I am done with it. Similar to dance, you use a lot of different muscles and there’s a real mind-body connection that happens with it.”

4. Daily Exercise

Park makes sure to get in some form of exercise daily. “I have to move every day,” she told Shape. “That can be hard with my filming schedule, so I’ve learned that to stay motivated, I have to adjust what type of physical activity can fit into my life at any given moment.”

Ashley Park is heating up Europe in her swimsuit. The Emily in Paris star flaunts her incredible figure in some of her latest social media photos, taken while vacationing with friends. “Burrata cosplaying as a tomato, chocolate as a feather, and some other petite noms and europe cuties this week,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Ashley Park stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

“I’m a huge skin care person now, and I love FaceGym [a facial exercise studio and line of skin-care products],” Ashley told Shape. “I have a face massager from them. The face is full of muscles and we never think to work them out. So, now I use a gua sha tool to massage them. It makes your face feel so much more relaxed.”

2. She Moves Every Day

Park exercises daily. “I have to move every day,” she told Shape. “That can be hard with my filming schedule, so I’ve learned that to stay motivated, I have to adjust what type of physical activity can fit into my life at any given moment.”

3. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Park mixes up workouts. “I’ve done everything — I had a big yoga phase, a big cycling phase, a big running phase,” she lists. “And I’ve always loved dancing,” she told Shape.

4. She Loves Pilates

Park is a big fan of pilates, which she recently started doing. “It feels very athletic, but it’s low impact,” she told Shape. “I sweat a ton and feel much stronger when I am done with it. Similar to dance, you use a lot of different muscles and there’s a real mind-body connection that happens with it.”

5. She Likes One-On-One Training Over Group Fitness

Park prefers training alone over a group setting. “When I’m in group class situations, I feel like it’s easier to cheat,” she told Shape. “You can hide behind other people.” She says that one-on-one sessions with her trainer Brandon Perry, make her “held accountable.”

6. She Eats a Plant-Forward Diet

At 15 Park was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow, which has impacted her dietary choices. While she generally maintains a plant-based diet, she does eat meat on occasion. “I am highly anemic because of what I went through with my cancer,” she told Shape. “So, I do like a nice steak every once in a while.” As for dairy and gluten, it all depends on where she’s eating these foods. “When I’m in America, those things don’t sit that well with me,” she says. ”But, for some reason, when I am in Europe, I can eat an entire bread basket and so much cheese, and it’s fine.”

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."
