Diane Kruger is breaking a sweat in the tropics – in her two–piece workout gear. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her washboard, six-pack abs in a mirror selfie taken from her vacation in paradise. “Favorite gym in the jungle 🐒,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Lots of Exercise
“I work out a lot. I kind of got into it recently…just the gym or hiking, maybe four to five times a week,” she previously told The New Potato. “I want to be strong, it’s bizarre,” she added to Coveteur. “I come from ballet, so I used to work out pretty much every day until I was 15. Then I did ballroom dancing for a while, but by the time I was 18 I never used to go to the gym or work out at all. I would just not do anything because I was traveling so much and I was like, ‘I don’t want to go to the gym.’ About two or three years ago I had to gain weight for a movie, and it wouldn’t come off—I’ve been the same weight my entire life, and it wouldn’t come off, so I started going to the gym. I guess it’s coming from ballet, I have a very competitive thing in me and I got really into it and I love it. Now I go four or five times a week—I do Pilates, I do Xtend Barre. I just love it, and it makes me feel strong, and I feel confident.”
No Juicing

Healthy Diet
“I know when I feel best, when I’m at a certain weight, when I eat a certain way—I just try to be really healthy without going crazy,” she told the Coveteteur. “I try to eat organic, but I’m not obsessive about food,” she added to The New Potato. What does she eat in a day? “Poached eggs with avocado on multigrain bread for breakfast, some sort of salmon dish for lunch, nuts as snacks during the day, and maybe chicken or veal for dinner with veggies and red wine,” she revealed. She also loves Vietnamese cuisine. “Pho, I’m into it. I don’t really have a sweet tooth, I like sweets every once in a while, but I’m not obsessed. It’s more salty stuff, I go for really greasy Chinese food,” she told Coveteur.
Sleep
Diane understands the importance of sleep. “I do the best, truly, when I get enough sleep. I don’t know why, but I’m really not good on no sleep. A lot of people are not, but if I truly don’t get nine hours, I’m not good. I feel best when I feel rested and also when I feel like I have enough time for myself to do the things that I love doing that is not work. I love work, but I need a day every now and then,” she told Coveteur.
Massage
Kruger knows the importance of self-care. “I like to get Thai massages, which is my favorite because they’re very energizing,” she told Coveteur. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies support the many benefits of getting a regular rub down. These include stress reduction, lessening pain and muscle tightness, increased relaxation, and improved immunity.
