Courteney Cox in Workout Gear Plays Tennis and Says "I Got It"

Courteney Cox is 59 and killing it in the gym and on the tennis court. Cox has switched up her exercise routine to really focus on building muscle and staying strong—but she still has fun doing it. The actress shared a video of herself on social media, playing tennis in a gray t-shirt and black workout pants. “I got it!” she captioned the post of herself comically catching a tennis ball in her mouth. Cox is still making people laugh—here’s how she stays happy and healthy while approaching 60.

1. Juice Over Caffeine

Cox starts her day with home-made juice and avoids caffeine. “I take vitamins every morning,” she told Marie Claire. “I used to do celery juice in the morning for about two years. I was so obsessed with it that I even did it on vacation. I would find a way to get a juicer and do it. Now, I am doing the cucumber, pineapple, ginger, and lemon thing. I don't know if it's cleaning my gut, but it's a way to get something liquid down because it's hard for me to drink water. Finally, I have a cup of decaf coffee with oat milk and honey.”

Cox winds down at night with scary TV shows and body brushing. “Around 6:30 p.m. is when I light a candle and just chill out and watch something on TV,” she told Marie Claire. “I love documentaries. That's a big thing for me. Of course, everyone likes true crime and that includes me. At night, before I go to bed, I wash my face and clean it off with a hot towel that I’ve placed various oils on. Then, I do the same body brushing I did in the morning with my dry brush.”

3. Fun Hobbies

Hobbies are very important to Cox, who is passionate about design books and music. “I love to cook and I love to play the piano and I love to play tennis and I love to putter,” she told Vogue. “Puttering is a big one for me. If you just have time during the day where someone says, ‘you have nothing to do for the next hour and a half,’ I just go through my house. I recently redid my bookshelf. I don’t read—sorry! I try. But when there are too many words on a page, I just get overwhelmed and it’s hard for my mind to slow down. I’m just not a reader. But I love design books, art books.”

4. Treadmill and Crunches

Cox’s workout routine includes gym machines and crunches on the mat (which she admits to not being crazy about). “I have a new trainer, who I love,” she told Vogue. “She’s a physical therapist—that’s how we started together, because I had some back issues—and now I work out with her three days a week. I just expanded the gym at my house and I’m so in love with it. I have a few machines and then I have one of those Bosu Balls to do leg presses. But she puts me through it. Say maybe I’ll be on the treadmill for three minutes, and then I’ll be on a machine, and then I have a leg press, and she’ll have me do crunches. I think machines are so much more fun than doing mat work.”

5. Tennis and Weight Training

Cox knows how important weight training is for women as they get older. “I play tennis twice a week,” she told Marie Claire. “I used to box twice a week, but my left knee is hurt. I also do Pilates once a week. As I get older, I realize it's more important for me to do weights. It’s amazing how I used to be really muscley but not so much anymore.”

Courteney Cox is celebrating a landmark anniversary with Johnny McDaid in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the former Friends star shares a rare bathing suit snap, honoring 10 years of being in a relationship with her Snow Patrol beau. “10 years,” she captioned the Instagram Reel. How does the star maintain her youthful looks and body at 59? She recently spilled all of her diet and fitness secrets.

1. She Follows This Morning Self-Care Routine

Courteney swears by her self-care morning ritual. “After I wake up, I immediately brush my teeth and wash my face. After that, I scrub the shit out of my legs with an ESPA dry brush for circulation. I'm into this new thing where I use Aquaphor healing ointment mixed with Augustinus Bader 🐬body cream or oil. I love that combination, but I also like to switch things up. Sometimes I'll mix body oil with Aquaphor and put it all over my body. I love Tata Harper exfoliating cleanser and I mix that with True Botanicals cleansing balm,” she told Marie Claire.

2. She Juices

Courtney takes vitamins “every morning” and then juices. “I used to do celery juice in the morning for about two years. I was so obsessed with it that I even did it on vacation. I would find a way to get a juicer and do it. Now, I am doing the cucumber, pineapple, ginger, and lemon thing. I don't know if it's cleaning my gut, but it's a way to get something liquid down because it's hard for me to drink water. Finally, I have a cup of decaf coffee with oat milk and honey,” she said.

3. She Plays Tennis

Courteney picks up a racquet regularly. “I play tennis twice a week. I used to box twice a week, but my left knee is hurt,” she said. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

4. She Does Pilates

“I also do pilates once a week,” Courteney added. According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

5. She Lifts Weights

Courteney also understands the importance of lifting weights. “As I get older, I realize it's more important for me to do weights. It’s amazing how I used to be really muscley but not so much anymore,” she said.

6. She Cooks

What is Courteney’s “Self-Care Ritual”? “I like to cook. I have this steak recipe I received from my friend, Brandi Carlile, whom I met through Instagram, which is kind of weird. I also make a great baked chicken and chicken parmesan. I don't just eat and grill; there's some serious marination going on,” she said.

7. She Has a Bedtime Routine

Courteney has a bedtime routine. “Around 6:30 p.m. is when I light a candle and just chill out and watch something on TV. I love documentaries. That's a big thing for me. Of course, everyone likes true crime and that includes me. At night, before I go to bed, I wash my face and clean it off with a hot towel that I’ve placed various oils on. Then, I do the same body brushing I did in the morning with my dry brush,” she said.

Courteney Cox is flaunting her flat tummy on a rainy day!

Maren Morris recently performed with Hozier for a CMT Crossroads special and the former country artist not only showcased her amazing vocal talents but revealed her toned physique in a one-shoulder purple dress that highlighted her strong legs and chiseled arms. To help reach her wellness goals, Morris works out with celebrity fitness guru Erin Oprea who shared her diet and workout regime to E!. The Grammy-award-winning singer looks incredible, but has a healthy mindset about her journey--she's not trying to be a certain size, she just wants to feel her best, according to her trainer. Here's five ways the 33-year-old gets her sculpted figure.

1. She Keeps Up Her Workouts on the Road

When Morris isn't on tour, she will do in-person sessions with Oprea, but when she's on the road, Oprea can't travel with her due to other client commitments. However, Morris doesn't use that as an excuse not to work out. She stays active and does things like play pickleball, which she posted about wearing black two-piece workout gear. She loves the game so much that she even had custom paddles to match the tour she revealed. But, she also keeps in contact with Oprea. "We'll FaceTime, which we usually do when she's on tour," Oprea said. "I also have my Pretty Muscles App and [clients] can just open my app and do the exact same thing as what we would do in person."

2. She Has Good Portion Control

According to Oprea, there's no big secret to Morris' fitness routine. It's about healthy eating and staying active. "If you want to lean down, there's no better answer than you have to eat clean," she said. "Eat clean to get lean, workout to get strong. There's nothing to cut out. It's just learning to not overeat. I would say that she's gotten really good at portion control."

3. She Loads Up on Protein But Doesn't Cut Carbs

Although many turn to diets like Keto or Paleo that encourage little to no carbs, Morris doesn't avoid them. "There's more protein and it's not heavy carb focus," Oprea said. "I also don't believe in cutting out carbs. She has this rotisserie chicken recipe that she really loves to cook. She's gotten really big into cooking with her husband and that makes me beyond happy."

4. She Plays Tennis

Besides working out with Oprea, The Tree singer and songwriter plays sports. "She has been playing tennis," she said. "I encourage clients to do their cardio outside of me. Sports are always the best way because when you're chasing a ball, you're not thinking about cardio. She's been doing her cardio as well as lots of fun weight training."

5. She Does Squat Lunges

Morris does a lot of lower body workouts and Oprea shared, "There are so many variations of my squat into lunges that I like." She explained, "We've been playing a fun sumo squat game that I love. It is a sumo squat and you do 10 tiny jumps staying low. You hold for 10 seconds in the down position. Then you do nine tiny downs and you hold low for 10 seconds. Then you do eight jumps and hold low for 10 seconds. Everyone hates me coming in and then they love me when they are leaving. They get on stage or they take their photos and they're like, 'Okay, I don't hate her that much today."
