Ellen DeGeneres In Workout Gear Trains With Portia de Rossi

Odette Annable is known for her roles in You Again, Two and A Half Men, Supergirl, Walker, and Tell Me A Story. Annable and her close friend, wrestler Stacy Kiebler, met up for a workout in November, and shared an Instagram collaboration of the day. In it, they went to Pilates and did some weight training. Kiebler captioned the post, “Fill in the blank: Besties who workout together,_.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Odette Annable stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Out With Others

As you can see in the Instagram post, Annable likes to workout with her friends. And working out with a friend has a lot of health benefits. The CDC states, “When you and your buddy encourage each other, you’ll work harder (and get better results!). And there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. It’s easier to try new things with a buddy. You may just find an activity you love, one that feels more like fun and less like a workout.”

2. She Does Pilates

As you can see from her Instagram post, Annable does Pilates to stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that doing Pilates has a lot of health benefits. “Pilates — once a niche strength, mobility, and recovery technique for dancers — has gone mainstream. The low-intensity, muscle-strengthening workout can promote flexibility, mobility, and posture. What’s more, it can set your body up to complete other more intense strength-training safely.”

3. She Uses Hyaluronic Acid

Annable shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with New Beauty. “Any product that has hyaluronic acid as one of the ingredients in it is going to be a win for me,” she says. “I have combination skin, so it’s kind of oily and dry at the same time. Hyaluronic acid just deeply hydrates my skin and helps it retain all of the moisture, which is something that I really need now, because now I’m living in a place that actually has seasons! When my skin feels the seasons switch, it kind of goes a little nuts. Kosas is my favorite lip moisturizer. It’s loaded with hyaluronic acid. I love Barbara Sturm’s Hyaluronic Acid Ampoules as well. You put them all-over your face, and you can feel your skin tighten and hydrate; I love them so much. Those are my two hero products that I could never shy away from.”

4. She Cooks

Annable tells New Beauty that she loves to cook, and that the pandemic made her want to cook more. “In a way, I think it’s a greatest form of self-care, and being in the kitchen has been quite meditative for me—even if it’s just my husband taking our daughter for a walk outside while I make the meal. I come from a Cuban family, and I’ve learned everything from my mom and my grandmother. Those recipes are still with me and I’ve been making them for my family more than I ever have before. It’s self-care and it’s self-care in the best way.”

5. She’s Confident

Annable opened up about developing self-confidence in an interview with Rose and Ivy Journal. “It’s not easy, especially in this industry, there is so much competition and rejection,” she admits. “You can compare yourself to people very easily. I didn’t feel worthy, even though I was getting all of these opportunities, I didn’t feel like I was doing enough work to feel like I should be included. It was a story I was telling myself and I was sticking to it. There was a lot of fake it till you make it. It wasn’t until recently I felt like, hold on, I am confident in what I am doing, in my talent, and who I am. I have gone through a little bit of life and turmoil, where I have experienced all of it, and I feel things in a different way than I did when I was in my 20s.”

Zoë Kravitz is an actress and singer best known for her role as Catwoman in The Batman, and her role as Bonnie Carlson on Big Little Lies. Soon, however, you'll know her as a big-time director—her first film, Blink Twice, starring Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum and Alia Shawkat, comes out August 23. Kravitz recently shared a photo of herself in two-piece workout gear on Instagram. She received praise in her comments section. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Zoë Kravitz stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Worked With A Trainer

To play Catwoman, Kravitz worked with trainer Harley Pasternak. He shared with Men’s Health that they worked out each filming day. "We would work out five days a week, because they film five days a week," Pasternak said. "And we'd work out during a typical 30-minute lunch break, but it was usually 25 with them. Each workout starts with cardio warmup and then we do circuits of upper body and lower body, then abs and then a cardio cooldown. All in 25 minutes."

2. She Makes Wellness A Priority

Kravitz tells Vogue that she makes sure to make wellness a priority. “I try and drink a lot of water, and I think it’s all about balance. I think it’s about joy, happiness and laughter because those really effect the way you look and feel. I also love to steam—I love to sweat things out and I think it’s good to keep the body moving.”

3. She Does Cleanses

Kravitz revealed to Vogue that she does a cleanse each year with her mother. “Every year, my mom and I try and do the Dr. Schultz 30-Day Detox together. It’s a 30-day cleanse that focuses on all your different organs, so your bowel, your liver, your kidneys, your gallbladder and the bowel again. It’s just a nice thing to reset your body every year. If you don’t do that cleanse, take a week to eat raw and natural foods as a way to let your body relax because it’s constantly working to process everything that we’re putting in it. It’s like giving your gut a vacation.”

4. She Uses The Elliptical

Kravitz shared her daily routine with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she likes to use the elliptical at the gym. “I try to work out when I first get up. Otherwise I'll go late at night, like 10 P.M. I think it helps me sleep, and it's very important to sweat and move your blood. My gym in Brooklyn is really small, and I'll just go on the elliptical for 30 minutes, long enough to work up a sweat, and then I'm good.”

5. She Uses Steam Rooms

After working out, Kravitz tells Harper’s Bazaar that she likes to go in a steam room. “I also love steam rooms, because it helps get all the toxins out and rejuvenate your body. And I do stretches and sit-ups at home, like leg exercises and stuff. I've worked with a lot of trainers over the years for shows and films, so I know enough about fitness to do things on my own at this point.”
