Blake Lively’s Body Proves This Quick Workout is a Total Game Changer

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.’ ”

Jena Sims Koepka is working on her core – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the golf wife shows off her strength and amazing body during an exercise circuit. “Cove + Core + Pulling,” she captioned the Instagram video, demonstrating every move in the video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what is her core workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. F45 Workouts

Jena is a fan of a popular workout method. “My favorite type of workout is F45,” she told FOX. “It’s just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it’s so loud.”

2. Weight Lifting

“I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” continued Sims. “I want loud music, heavy weights. For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don’t need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial,” she told Fox. “I've been working on just upping my weights a little bit,” she added to Daily Mail. “I can get into this sweet spot and get kind of in a plateau of working out, so I upped my weights after seeing her video because I was so impressed by what she did with her fitness. I'm trying to lift heavier. Trying to build a booty.”

3. Clean Eating

To get in shape for her Sports Illustrated photoshoot, Jena didn’t diet, “ all I'm doing is just eating as clean as I can, but I'm still splurging,” she told Daily Mail. “Like, I had four dinner rolls last night at this charity event as well as my meal.”

4. Pure Barre

Jena also likes to “mix it up” when it comes to exercise. She loves Pure Barre classes, a fusion of yoga, Pilates, and ballet and a “full body, low impact workout” for everybody, according to the brand.

5. Here is Her Core Workout

Here is her latest workout, “such a good series to work the pull muscles and the ABS,” she says.

1. roll up w/ leg extended
2. tailbone raises w/ ball between ankles and arms overhead
3. plank rows
4. assisted band pull ups

Alison Brie is celebrating a major milestone in her fitness journey. The Mad Men actress, 41, shared pictures of herself wearing black leggings and a gray sports bra, holding gold ‘100’ balloons that were presented to her as a surprise congratulations. “Celebrated 100 classes @formapilatesla with surprise balloons!! (and a killer ab and glute series🥵😛) Thanks for the time under tension, gals!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Brie’s health and wellness routine looks like in her 40s.

1. Working Out To Feel Good

Brie notices a difference in her mood when she doesn’t exercise. “On days that I work out, I feel good—I feel confident I feel strong and calm,” she told Well+Good. "On days that I don't work out I feel a little untethered and a little grouchy, so it's a real priority to me, no matter where I am. I've done workouts in my trailer at work when I had a 30 minute break. I just feel like, it's good to find that time. It's good for your health, and it's good for your mind.”

2. Rise Nation and Peloton

Brie likes doing Rise Nation and Peloton workouts in Los Angeles, and Devin Wiggins and Claire P. Thomas when she wants to do an at-home workout. "I seldom do the exact thing that they're doing,” she told Well+Good. “But I kind of look at it, and mix and match those with a running list that I already keep in my phone of certain exercises that I can do on my own.”

3. Glow Training

Training for her role as Ruth Wilder in GLOW took Brie’s fitness to another level. "I have never considered myself an athletic person until I started working on GLOW. We do a month of wrestling training before shooting every season of GLOW," she told ET. "That's all of the women in the ring. Three hours a day, five days a week. And that was also incredibly empowering. Learning that your body is capable of so much more than you ever expected is pretty life-changing for me."

4. Food Is Not the Enemy

Brie changed her approach to fitness, now focusing on being strong and healthy over being as small as possible. “More than anything, I think, [with] my trainers, we honed in on healthy eating and not considering food the enemy,” she told ET. “ So it's much better for me to do something, have a lifestyle where I live in a healthy way and I work out in a way that makes me feel strong and powerful and I eat food. But I eat healthy food and sometimes I eat unhealthy food and it's fine."

5. Self-Care Routine

Brie uses Epsom salts and CBD to relax. "For muscle recovery, Epsom salts and CBD are a big part of my routine," she told Well+Good. "My husband [actor Dave Franco] and I usually will take a lazy Sunday. We're very serious about our lazy Sundays—the goal is to not leave the house at all. We do next to nothing."

Brooke Burke is recapping her weekend and challenging her followers to a workout. In a few new social media posts the fitness guru shows off her flat abs and fit figure in workout wear. “Weekend recap. Cheers to us🍾🥂🌹🌷🩷 everything’s coming up roses #girlfriends,” she captioned one of the Instagram posts. In another, she shares a workout. “Do this plank challenge every other day this week,” she captioned the Instagram Story clips. How does the 52-year-old keep herself fit and healthy? Here is everything you need to know about her routine.

1. Here Is Brooke’s Plank Challenge

Brooke recommends doing the following exercises 10 times each and repeating the set three times.

• Plank crunch
• Plank spider
• Plank twist
• Plank lunge tap

2. Mediterranean Diet

Brooke recently explained to Celebwell that she avoids fad diets, because she maintains a healthy lifestyle 365 days per year. “I don't like the word diet. It’s all about building a sustainable, enjoyable, healthy lifestyle,” she revealed to us. Instead, she sticks to a Mediterranean-style eating plan. “I have healthy fats such as olive oil and avocados, vegetables, lean proteins, beans, and nuts,” she revealed. Sometimes she will start her day with a shake. Others, she will eat a grilled salmon salad or some type of protein salad. “I love cobb salad,” she adds. For dinner, she likes fish or a filet mignon with crunchy vegetables. She also enjoys the occasional spirit. “I might have a glass of vino or, if I'm being more health conscious, a tequila-based drink,” she says. “I’m restricting my alcohol intake right now and not drinking any alcohol during the week.”

3. Intermittent Fasting

“I intermittent fast most every day,” Brooke dished to us. “I give myself a resting window of 16 hours, and I eat in an eight-hour window. It's 1:30p right now and I'm breaking my fast. I'm having a shake which is high in calories and in fat, which is totally okay. It has protein, matcha, MCT oil, dates, almond butter, one Tru Niagen stickpack, collagen powder, and cinnamon.”

4. At-Home Fitness

"I am all about the convenience of the digital gym,” Brooke says about her preference when it comes to the gym versus at-home workouts. “That’s one of the good things the pandemic taught us…we can get a great workout from the comfort anin the safety of our own homes.” This is the main reason she started Brooke Burke Body. “I wanted to create something that was accessible to everyone. It sounds crazy but you really can do short 10–20-minute, intense workouts that help you sculpt and tone your body,” she continues. “The app has workouts ranging from 5 minutes to 50 minutes and it is inexpensive at just $9.99 a month. You can even try it for free for a week. But whether it’s my app or free content you find online, take the time to get your body moving. It’s not only good for the body, but also for the mind.”

5. Body Sculpting

Brooke shares a variety of workouts on her Brooke Burke Body app. “I believe in body sculpting. I believe in movement of all kinds. I do enjoy lifting weights and cardio, but you don’t have to sweat for hours to reshape your body,” she said.
