Elizabeth Hurley Shows Off Fit Figure and Shares Wellness Advice

Elizabeth Hurley is revealing all of the wellness secrets that keep her looking fit at 58. In a new social media post, the supermodel and beachwear designer answers some of her fans’ most burning questions about her diet and workout – namely how she looks half her age. “One question I get asked all the time is, how do you stay in shape and what do you eat? So here goes,” she started the Instagram post, showing off her famous curves in a bathing suit. What are the 6 rules that she follows? Celebwell has the answers.

1. How and When She Eats Food

Elizabeth has a few dietary rules she follows, starting with the size of her meals and how and when she eats them. “My mantra is: don’t eat too much, too fast, too often or too late. Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking and eat dinner earlier. This works for me,” she writes in her post.

2. No Green Juice or Shakes

So many stars swear by various green juice concoctions, smoothies, and protein shakes, but not Elizabeth. “I don’t drink weird green juices or shakes,” she says. She also refuses to take nutrients in pill form, with one exception. She only takes supplements “if a blood test tells me I’m lacking something,” she says.

3. She Fills Half Her Plate with Produce

Liz has an easy hack for getting lots of produce into her diet. “I try to have vegetables or fruit equal half of every plate I eat - ie if I have a sandwich, I also eat an apple,” she says.

4. She Eats Everything But Junk Food

The model sticks with a very clean diet. “I eat pretty much everything but only have junk food as an absolute treat - and I count junk food as anything that contains any ingredient that I don’t have in my own kitchen, so that includes ‘diet’ and ‘low-fat’ everything, all ready meals, all bought sandwiches, cakes and biscuits and all sodas,” Elizabeth says.

5. She Makes Baked Goods

Elizabeth doesn’t shy away from carbs and baked goods. But, she makes them herself. “My best investment was a bread maker and I make a loaf a day. I also make cakes every weekend,” she says.

6. She Is “Extremely Active”

Liz also moves her body, but doesn’t go to the gym. “Other than diet, my other advice is to move more. I don’t go to the gym or do any set exercise but I’m extremely active. There endeth the sermon. Let me know if this makes sense for you,” she concluded her post.

Actress Elizabeth Hurley—known for her roles in Austin Powers, Bedazzled, and The Royals—is also known for her ageless looks. Despite turning 56 in June, Hurley doesn’t look like she’s aged a day. She’s also a multi-hyphenate, calling herself a “Mummy, Actress, Model, Farmer, Bikini Designer.” Her swimwear line, @elizabethhurleybeach, sparked her to share a photo of herself in a white bikini, alerting people to a sale. How does she stay so fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see six Elizabeth Hurley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. She Loves To Garden

In an interview with Extra, Hurley revealed that she has a surprising favorite way to exercise, that doesn’t involve going to the gym. “I don’t work out, per se, but I am very active,” Hurley says. “I do a lot of exercise, but it’s really the gardening… cutting down a hedge, using my chainsaw to cut down a tree, logging, all of that stuff I do. So, I’m very active.”

2. She Tries Unique Workouts

In 2018, Hurley decided to try two unique types of exercise. In a photo posted to her Instagram, Hurley was seen trying to hula hoop. She captioned the photo “Hula hoop practice.” In another Instagram post Hurley is seen swimming topless in a pool. She captioned the video, “Attempting to swim off the calories.”

3. She Drinks Hot Water In The Morning

Hurley likes to prioritize her gut health, and does so by drinking two glasses of hot water each morning, sometimes with apple cider vinegar added. "It tastes fairly disgusting," she told The Cut. "But it's fantastic for your digestive system."

4. She Eats Clean and Local

Hurley says that she tries to eat clean and healthy food. "I like simple, natural, easy food. I don’t really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives," she told The Cut. Hurley also likes to buy food from her local markets. She says, "When I’m at home in the country, I always try and eat food that's grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables. All through summer we eat fruit and vegetables from my own garden.”

5. She Does At-Home Exercises

Hurley is admittedly not a fan of doing traditional exercises, and prefers to stay home when working out. Hurley is a fan of what she calls “self-exercises.” She tells The Cut, “I might do some stomach exercises or some bottom or arm exercises, but because I trained for a dancer when I was young, I sort of know all the exercises. I find it very hard for my schedule to regularly go anywhere else. It works very well for me.”

6. She Believes In Balance

For Hurley, wellness means being balanced. She told The Cut, “You need to balance both. Of course it’s important to eat well and exercise. It’s also really important to look after yourself emotionally.” Hurley continued, “You also have to look after your health. You can’t look good if you’re not healthy, and diet plays a big part. You can’t smoke and have too much alcohol. We all get hard knocks in life, but it’s important to stay positive and stay engaged, and not be angry. Anger doesn’t seem to go hand in hand with wellness.”

Elizabeth Hurley, 56, appears as confident about her body as someone half her age. How is that possible? She takes care of it. "I think it's important to stay sort of firm and to do a reasonable amount of walking and exercise," she once told E! News. "I don't go to the gym, but I'm quite active.” Hence her photo this weekend, which she posted on Instagram: “Happy place #uksummer” she captioned a pic of herself, clad in a blue bikini, lying on a white, butterfly-shaped raft in an ultra-blue pool.

“I don’t do any regulated exercise, but I’m very active,” she told the Cut. “On the weekends I go for long hikes with my dogs. I try and stretch every day. I do the occasional yoga or Pilates class, but mostly it’s just self-exercise at home. I might do some stomach exercises or some bottom or arm exercises, but because I trained for a dancer when I was young, I sort of know all the exercises. I find it very hard for my schedule to regularly go anywhere else. It works very well for me.”

3. She’s Into Fruits and Veggies

“I like things like an omelet, or I like avocado on toast or some tomatoes,” she tells Us Weekly. “I always have something for breakfast.” By day, she’ll eat “lots and lots and lots” of veggies. she once posted on Instagram photos of herself with homemade marmalade.

Says Eat This, Not That!: "I try not to eat too much for dinner," Hurley revealed to The View not long ago. She backed that up by also telling E! News, "I think that's one of the best diet tips you can have: Eat your food earlier on in the day, so you've got more time to digest it and your body can rest in the sleep period. I used to snack late at night because I was a little bit hungry before I went to bed … [but] I stopped doing that now."

5. What Wellness Means to Her

“It means being as healthy as you can in your lifestyle and as healthy as you can emotionally. You need to balance both. Of course it’s important to eat well and exercise. It’s also really important to look after yourself emotionally. People often ask me how you can look good as you age, and for me it’s a couple of things. You need to look after your skin, that’s important,” she told the Cut.

Actress Elizabeth Hurley is ageless, and her most recent Instagram photo proves it. Hurley posted a new photo of herself in a pale yellow bathing suit, her flat abs and toned figure on display.

The first thing Hurley likes to put in her body each day is hot water, and sometimes she adds apple cider vinegar to it. She tells The Cut that although she doesn’t always enjoy the taste, she drinks it for the health benefits. “When I got to the studio I’d drink a mug of hot water and go into hair and makeup. I often put apple cider vinegar in my hot water. It tastes disgusting. I can’t face it every day, so I’ll put it in my hot water maybe every other day. It’s good for your metabolism.”

4. She Keeps Both Her Body and Her Mind Healthy

Hurley tells The Cut that when it comes to wellness, she thinks it’s just as important to take care of her mind as well as her body. “You need to balance both. Of course it’s important to eat well and exercise. It’s also really important to look after yourself emotionally.”

Hurley says that her family is what inspires to stay well and healthy. She says to The Cut, “When my father died back in the ’90s, it made me realize how fragile life is, and how you have to seize the day. When I had my son fifteen years ago, that also brought home to me that once you’re responsible for someone else, it helps you not worry about silly things. Once you’ve faced life and death, it really makes you focus on what actually matters. I let a lot of things go now.”

Actress Elizabeth Hurley went from being a model to an actress to, now, beauty icon. She posts a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in a swimsuit.

But what I do like is I like to go outside and I like to do really violent gardening to relax. I go out with the chainsaw, I go out with my hedge trimmers and that's what I like to do. And then I find relaxes more than anything in the world. And I love it.

2. She Raises Awareness About Breast Cancer

A cause that Hurley is passionate about is breast cancer. She tells Extra that she wants to let people know about treatments and give them support. “I point out to them that in the years since we've been going, since the nineties, everything has improved.

You have to lead a healthy lifestyle.”

Hurley opened up about how she feels about negative criticism to Extra. Hurley says that she has no time for this. “People are mean to women,” she says. “I don't think, I don't think it's how people should be. So I can't say I'm a fan of those sorts of comments really.”

4. She’s Consistent With Exercises

Hurley tells Access Hollywood about how she approaches exercise. “If you like food, like I like food, you just have to be super active. When I had nine people locked down in my house with me, we were super active and we found we could eat an awful lot and we all really firmed up just through activity. No exercise, just doing stuff.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Hurley has amazing skin. She revealed some of her secrets to Today.com. “I have one serum I use all the time. You need to look after your skin. You need to look after your health.
