Blake Lively is sharing her joy of floristry with her 44.9 Instagram followers. Lively, 36, shared a picture of herself wearing black shorts and a tank top and white Hoka sneakers, posing next to some beautiful flowers. “I’ve always thought I was a florist, well before playing one. I buy corner store flowers, take them home, reassemble them & give them new life. Ever since I moved to the city at 19, that’s been one of my creative and meditative anchors. It’s design, it’s interacting with nature, it’s a multi sensory joy. Whenever I get the opportunity to garden from scratch and assemble fresh arrangements, I feel like the luckiest person on the planet. It’s straight up peace. No there’s no joke coming. Just me being earnest about flowers. Ugh pure sincerity. I hate it here 😵‍💫🫠🥰,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress stays strong, fit, and is living her best life.


1. Strength Training

Lively’s long-time trainer Don Saladino says resilience is key to her workouts, so they focus on strength training using weights. “She's got to be on the red carpet, she's got to be in movies, she's got to prepare for specific roles,” he told Women’s Health. “I want to make sure her being a mom of four, her being on the road, changing time zones, running businesses—we got to make sure her body doesn't break down.”

2. No Dieting

Lively’s trainer doesn’t believe in counting calories or restrictions—instead he encourages eating to fuel muscle growth. "These women understand the importance of being strong, and they understand the importance of getting in enough energy,” Saladino told E!. “They don't starve themselves. If every woman came to me and they said, 'I want to put on muscle,' that would probably allow me to get everyone to their goal. That's what I've been doing with thousands of people now, teaching them, "Let's try and put on muscle, you won't look muscular, but you'll have that lean, athletic body that you want.'"

3. Treadmill Cardio

Saladino has Lively do cardio at the end of her workout, like power walking on the treadmill. “My goal with her is not to break her down,” he told Women’s Health. “We need to make sure that every day she's waking up, she's feeling great, she's feeling energetic, and she can rinse and repeat.”

4. Walk Everywhere

Lively’s trainer emphasizes the importance of walking everywhere. "Because if someone is coming to me and they are at 4 or 5,000 steps, that's just way too little," Saladino told E!. "Walk to work in the morning, walk home from work, after all three of your meals, walk for 30 minutes, just do something. You're going to have to show some discipline! It's a pretty easy thing to do and sometimes people are like, 'Oh, walking is easy, that's effective?' Of course it is. It's very effective."

5. Living Her Best Life

Lively says she has “always felt like a mama”, so her current life is everything she could ask for. “So much of the inspiration came from my mom and my dad and my siblings,” she told PEOPLE. “All the things I feel like I’m good at are thanks to my family, and they’re things we’re now embracing at Preserve: cooking, decorating, artistry. Family is at the heart of everything I do… This is the happiest time in my life, and I could say that every day. I often feel like, ‘I can’t believe I’m experiencing this.’ ”
