Dakota Johnson is heating up the red carpet in an ab-baring look. At a Madame Web photocall in London on Wednesday, the Fifty Shades star showed off her incredible body – including washboard abs – in a cropped blazer and skirt. How does the 34-year-old approach diet and fitness? Celebwell has all the details on her lifestyle habits.


1. Late Night Workouts

Luke Worthington, who is one of Dakota’s trainers, told Vogue that the star prefers working out at night. “No matter how long her days were, we would get the workout done. Dakota is more of an owl than a lark, so workouts were often late at night, rather than early morning – we were quite often at the gym at 9pm,” he said.

2. Strength Training

“Dakota likes to get her heart rate up and feel like she’s had a workout, so I had to make a structure that worked for her,” Worthington said about her “strength basis” workouts, which generally lasted 80 minutes, four times a week. She did mini circuits of upper body, lower body and core exercises. “We did a lot of single leg glute work, which tends to make it a little easier for people to focus on the specific muscles they’re trying to work,” he added. They also did a lot of “single leg hip thrusts, TRX hip abductions and single leg deadlifts.”

3. Boxing

Dakota would also do bouts of boxing between circuits. “[Boxing] is what I call disguised cardio, because you’re focused on learning and practicing the skill, rather than on how hard you’re working,” Worthington said.

4. Walking

Dakota also gets her steps in. “Walking is a great form of low intensity steady state cardio (or LISS),” Worthington told Vogue. “LISS training has been shown to have positive effects on emotional wellbeing, sleep patterns and even hormonal health. The advantage of LISS over something like HITT training is that there is a much better risk to reward ratio – we can all enjoy the same benefits with minimal-to-no risk of injury, and no real recovery time required. You can walk every day.”

5. At Least 10 Hours of Sleep

Dakota gets at least 10 hours of sleep a night. “I don’t have a regular [wake-up] time,” she told the Wall Street Journal. “It depends on what’s happening in my life. If I’m not working, if I have a day off on a Monday, then I will sleep as long as I can,” she continued. “Sleep is my number one priority in life.” She confessed that she’s “not functional” unless she gets at least 10 hours. “I can easily go 14 hours.”

6. Baths

New,York,,Ny,-,June,13,,2022:,Dakota,Johnson,AttendsShutterstock

“I will get in a bathtub at any moment, any time of the day,” Dakota added to WSJ. “If in the middle of the day, I’m like, ‘Oh God, what is this world?’ I’ll get in the bathtub.” She added, “I find water really grounding.”

7. Meditation

Twice a day meditation sessions also help with her anxiety. “I do transcendental meditation,” she explained. “I’ve been really into breathwork recently and that’s been helping me a lot with anxiety.”

In addition to strength training and eating clean, the White Lotus star is all about yoga. "I do a lot of yoga and am all about treating yourself with love if you’re having a stressful day," she told Delish. "Yoga helps you learn to deal with stress in a different way. It's a great way to turn your brain off in a world where we’re all running around and on our phones all the time. [Yoga and meditation are] an awesome place to start."

2. Kerry Washington

Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.” She added to ELLE: “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike."

3. Lady Gaga

Selena Gomez looked incredibly elegant in an Oscar de la Renta gown and Bulgari Serpenti jewelry. Her trainer, Amy Rossof Davis, revealed to Byrdie that Selena’s workouts vary by how she is feeling. "[My first priority when training Selena is] listening to her body—which everyone should do when it comes to working out," she said. "Sometimes we just do yoga and stretching, and sometimes we hit it hard. Working out, just like life, should be a balance."

5. Cate Blanchett

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Cate Blanchett opted for a plunging, custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown, and Pomellato jewelry. The Aussie actress has admitted that working out isn’t really her thing. “I got fit, I mean properly fit, for the first time. My job is very physical,” Blanchett told The Coveteur about how she got into the best shape of her life at 48 with the help of Chris ​​Hemsworth’s personal trainer, Luke Zocchi, for the third Thor film. “It was hideous. It was horrendous. It was a hardcore cardio and weights circuit, but it only lasted 20 minutes because he had to fit it in between scenes,” she said. “But it was great, I actually wanted to get up at six in the morning and work with him for 20 minutes before the kids woke up, if you can believe it. It sounds bizarre. I’m not doing that at the moment, but I really do want to get back to it.”

6. Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts flaunted her strong arms in a sleek Fendi Couture column dress. Watts told Women’s Health in 2020 that she regularly depends on an anti-inflammation diet to help her reset, which involves no wheat, sugar, dairy, and alcohol. She works out three to five times per week and her favorite workout is Taryn Toomey’s The Class, a combination of calisthenics and plyometrics guided by self-help messages.“I’ve always liked to be physical,” she says. “I’m an active person. But I also love the outlet that Taryn creates. It’s a ‘get your freak on’ kind of thing. It doesn’t feel like a traditional workout. You get to move your body, but you also get to shift your mind in a way that’s really cathartic.”

7. Vanessa Hudgens

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Vanessa Hudgens showed off her gym honed body in a high slit Atelier Versace gown and Chopard jewels. Vanessa works out almost every single day to achieve her fitness goals, focusing more on weight and strength training than cardio. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

8. Jennifer Hudson

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Jennifer Hudson looked curvacious in a pale pink gown with floral accents. The star famously dropped from a size 16 to a size 6 and lost a whopping 80 pounds in 2010 with the help of Weight Watchers. "I don't really have time to do much [working out], so I really just watch what I eat," the singer/actress told Good Housekeeping. "I'm very careful and cautious of what I'm eating, so I just try to pace those meals throughout the day. I'm very conscious of what I put in my body."

9. Rosario Dawson

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Rosario Dawson’s strapless gown perfectly accentuated her strong arms. The star isn’t really into the gym. “I’ll dance in my house for hours to Afrobeat, ’80s music, or house music and break a sweat,” she told Women’s Health. “Going for a long hike and talking with someone—I can do that any day of the week.” She also started learning kung fu. “I’m excited,” she says, “because it’s a full-body workout.”

10. Salma Hayek

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Salma Hayek went for a Grecian look with her coral hued Gucci gown. “Everybody has a weakness and mine is food," Salma told More. “I don’t like to diet and I’m not good at it,” she added on her Cooler Cleanse website. “When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort.” This is why she opts for juice cleanse. "After doing a juice cleanse, I'm motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally.” She also maintains that cleansing is meditative for her. “It makes me stop, focus and think about what I'm putting into my body. I'm making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button."

11. Venus Williams

Tennis phenom Venus Williams found a gown to show off her entire leg. The thigh-high slit Dolce & Gabbana bustier gown with one-shoulder detail paired with Stuart Weitzman heels perfectly accented her curves. Venus launched her own vegan protein brand, Happy Viking, in 2020. "I need to refuel and provide protein to my muscles quickly after I work out for recovery and to maintain muscle," she explained to Insider in 2021. "So Happy Viking was created to fuel your inner fighter, your inner Viking, while feeling happy and satisfied about what you put in your body."

12. Hailee Steinfeld

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAmy Sussman/WireImage

Hailee Steinfeld showed off her fit physique in a cutout Miu Miu dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. “For me, it’s really always been a matter of being physically active, not so much working out,” the star explained to Byrdie about how she stays in shape. “My number one thing, considering my crazy, crazy schedule, is that I try to devote at least 15 minutes a day to getting some sort of physical activity in, whether it’s riding a bike, taking a walk, even just walking around in my backyard for 15 minutes—just something to get some fresh air and the blood pumping.”

Breakfast itself was plain yogurt, homemade pistachio butter, and homemade, grain-free müesli served with chopped-up apples.”

Hollywood’s most sizzling stars filled up the red carpet of the 2021 Emmy Awards on Sunday night rocking the hottest designer fashions.

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

It was impossible not to notice Anya Taylor-Joy’s beautiful back, on full display in her gorgeous pale yellow Dior Haute Couture. One of Anya’s biggest health rules is that she maintains a meat-free diet. "I've been a vegetarian since I was eight, so I don't touch meat or fish. I was vegan for a long time I got into it because it's the most ecologically conscious choice you can make as a consumer," she told Harper's Bazaar. "When I was a vegan it was the healthiest I've ever felt, because I had so much energy. I was eating a ton because I have a really big appetite and was getting in more greens. As a vegetarian I love a lot of Italian food – but I don't get that many greens in there!"

2. Cynthia Erivo

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Baby got back! Cynthia Erivo also showed off her gorgeously toned back in a white Louis Vuitton featuring a colorfully mermaid-esque feathered fishtail. The Genius star is a longtime vegan and trains at the celeb-filled gym The Dogpound. “I know that my body asks for that amount of activity and it makes me feel good. I don’t think that working out is just a physical thing, I think it really is about how you feel,” she told Bon Appetit when asked about what drives her hardcore workotu mentality. “You release serotonin when you work out, so I think I may be slightly addicted to the feeling. The Dogpound is a great place. They try out new workouts on me because they know I can handle it.”

3. Gillian Anderson

Gillian Anderson bared her flat abs in a boho-inspired creamed Chloé number. According to the star, fitness isn’t a huge priority for her. “I don’t try that hard to stay in shape,” she told the Daily Mail. “I go through stages of yoga a few times a week and throw in some running.”

4. Michaela Coel

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Michaela Coel flaunted her abs in a stunning neon yellow Christopher John Rogers number. “The number one thing in self-care, for me is not caring what people would think of you,” she told The Guardian. The I May Destroy You star is also a yoga-loving vegan.

5. Issa Rae

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Issa Rae left little to the imagination in a shimmering, sheer chain link gown from Aliétte. "I exercise for, like, an hour each day,” she told Women’s Health about how she stays in shape. “My neighborhood has a bunch of hills, so it's walking up hills. Then I alternate between walking and jogging. I hate jogging — you're going in circles, but I recognize that it helps.” She also follows a “paleo-leaning” diet.

6. Kerry Washington

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Kerry Washington’s curves were on display in her slinky Etro gown. “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” Kerry told ELLE about how she stays in shape. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” she added to Women's Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.”

7. Kaley Cuoco

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Kaley Cuoco made her first post-split appearance on the Emmy red carpet in a neon yellow Vera Wang Haute gown. The Flight Attendant star attributes her fantastic figure to switching up her workouts. "If I'm doing yoga, we're doing it every day this week….Then I'm like, 'Oh my god, I have to switch.' Then I'm going crazy on SoulCycle….'Okay, I have to switch,'" she told Women's Health.

8. Taraji P. Henson

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Taraji P. Henson took the plunge in a sheer black and silver Elie Saab gown. The actress, who recently launched her own workout, maintains that her diet helps her stay in shape. "I try to do my proteins. When I want a salt taste, I'll do boiled eggs with my fermented vegetables. When I want a sweet taste, I'll grab a Special K protein bar or protein shake. I just want to make healthier choices. I had a health scare and I want to live. My health scare came from me not eating right. You think just because you're small and you work out that everything is coming up roses, until you take a look inside. There are so many things that we eat that are bad for us — hormones in animals — that affect you. Coffee on an empty stomach — who knew it could kill you? I know now," she told the Cut.

9. Catherine Zeta-Jones

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Catherine Zeta-Jones looked forever young and oh-so-leggy in a strapless, cabernet colored Christina Ottaviano gown slit to the thigh. Catherine once revealed to the WSJ. Magazine that she eats three, healthy meals a day. "I only actually eat real food because I have to right now. My dream is to only eat desserts, ever. It's a goal. I'm a big kind of European, three meals a day [person]," she added. "In the whole lockdown, I relished having my kids and my husband here for breakfast, lunch and dinner." And, unlike many other stars she creates her own workouts. “I don’t have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don’t need anyone to motivate me,” she told InStyle. “I love exercise, even things like the elliptical machine and stretching. It’s a legacy of dancing all those years.”

10. Keri Russell

HBO/ HBO Max Emmy Nominees ReceptionFilmMagic/FilmMagic

Keri Russell flaunted her fabulous figure in a glam-to-the-max sequinned and feathered Zuhair Murad gown. The actress has a “workout anti-routine,” she once revealed to Shape. “I’m definitely a physical person. I’m happiest when I work out. You need that hit—where everything is moving and pumping and you instantly feel positive. I feel my absolute best—my sexiest—after a good workout. Right now, that’s usually a tough bike ride. Or I’ll dance around in my room to loud music and do moves I remember from a pregnancy video I had. But if I have a good chunk of time, I’ll go to a gym and do exercises using a band that a trainer taught me 20 years ago,” she explained.

'Terminator: Dark Fate' Press ConferenceVictor Chavez/Getty Images

Linda Hamilton is best known for appearing in the Terminator film series. In 2019, she opened up about how she got in shape for Terminator: Dark Fate to InStyle. “Mackie Shilstone was my fantastic trainer,” Hamilton revealed. “He’s a legend and crosses over into every sport. And he understands the body in motion. Peyton Manning has even trained with Shilstone to prepare for the Super Bowl. I got to work with him because Serena Williams was pregnant. It was a wonderful accident of timing. Yes, we lifted and pumped weight and cross-trained; there were Pilates, supplements, and a diet. I didn’t eat carbohydrates for a year and a half. But everything Shilstone did with me was in motion.”

2. Gwendoline Christie

75th Annual Golden Globe Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

While starring on Game of Thrones, Gwendoline Christie worked with trainer Dalton Wong. In 2019, Wong shared some of Christie’s workouts with Harper’s Bazaar. “Posture was really important with our training,” he said. “We focused on various types of postural training focusing on hips and bum, core, shoulders and back. We implemented my mini band and glider programme to do daily at home to help improve her hips and core strength.”

3. Gina Carano

Premiere Of Disney's "Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker" - ArrivalsRodin Eckenroth/WireImage

Gina Carano opened up about her workout routine in an interview. “If I’m training for a fight I wake up in the morning and do cardio to warm up, like running on the treadmill or jumping rope, then shadow box for about 15 minutes, then do about two hours of sparring and technique. I repeat the same thing again at night.”

4. Demi Moore

Fashion Trust US Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Demi Moore has starred in G.I. Jane and Striptease, which meant she had to get in shape. One thing she does now to stay in shape is to use The Mirror workout system.

5. Charlize Theron

Premiere Of Netflix's "The School For Good And Evil" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Charlize Theron made sure to get in shape for Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde and The Fast and the Furious franchise. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Theron opened up about her approach to diet and exercise. "I'm always calculating my activity. If I haven't been moving a lot, I can't eat a lot. Or maybe it's a cheat day. But I'm honest with myself."

6. Gal Gadot

The 23rd Annual Critics' Choice Awards - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

In order to play the iconic hero Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot made sure to get in shape. She worked with trainer Magnus Lygdback to do so. Lygdback talked about Gadot’s process in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “We weren’t going for the most muscle mass possible. We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.” Lygdback said Gadot did, “Leg press, front dumbbell squats, skaters and skate jumps — that’s such a good one because it recruits fast-twitch muscle fibers and works all three of the glute muscles — pull-ups, lateral raises and a ton of core work.”

7. Scarlett Johansson

26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsLeon Bennett/Getty Images

Scarlett Johansson’s trainer, Eric Johnson, talked about the actress’ workout secrets to Women’s Health. “Our training approach is dynamic and truly in tune with her state of being,” he says. “Whether that’s for an upcoming stunt that she’ll need to perform or a gym specific quest such as a pistol squat, we’ve found more success chasing attainable goals that are performance-based over a number on a scale.”

8. Jennifer Garner

"The Adam Project" New York PremiereMichael Loccisano/WireImage

Jennifer Garner talked about her diet in a video with Harper’s Bazaar. “I always have an apple,” she said. “I prefer to have it cut up. Otherwise, if you have lipstick on, it’s a disaster. So I cut it up, and I put it back together like a puzzle, and I stick it in my bag and have it later.”

9. Angela Bassett

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Whether she’s starring as the queen in the Black Panther film series, or as a police officer on 9-1-1, Angela Bassett makes sure to stay fit. She shared some of her favorite workouts with BlackDoctors.org. “Recently, I got a couple of my girlfriends together and we walked the Rose Bowl. It’s maybe a three-mile thing. It’s about showing up and accountability. You have to say, ‘Everyone will meet at 8:15 a.m.’ I know when I have a real plan then I’m there. If my friends are waiting, that puts a pressure on me not to disappoint them.”

10. Brie Larson

9th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Brie Larson plays Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she made sure to get in shape. One thing she likes to do is weight train. Larson shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats with a barbell.

In 2016, Ronda Rousey talked about her diet in an interview with StyleCaster. “I follow the Dolce Diet, and for breakfast I start the day off at 7:30am with a Dolce chia bowl.

In 2016, Cameron Diaz talked about her diet to Bon Appetit. She says that she eats two meals in the morning, and they couldn’t be more different. “At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

Jennifer Lawrence talked about her diet and workout in an interview with Vogue. “I do work out more than normal because I have a certain way that I want to look, and a way that I want to fit into my clothes. I get photographed when I’m not asking for it, so there’s added pressure to look and feel your best. For me, it’s easier to put that extra effort into the gym instead of putting the extra effort into: ‘Oh no, I can’t eat that.’”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles.

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
