Emma Roberts in Two-Piece Workout Gear is a "Space Cadet"

Emma Roberts is (space) suited up for her workout. In a new social media post the newly engaged star shows off her amazing body in a crop top and yellow shorts. "Rex reported for duty #spacecadet," she captioned the Instagram Stories image. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Emma starts her day with coffee. "It's so important to set yourself up for the day," she told Harper's Bazaar in 2021. "I cannot wake up without having my coffee and my me-time." According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

According to Emma, "sleeping is more important than working out," she told the Zoe Report. According to the Sleep Foundation, she is right. Getting ample sleep is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss. 

"I'm very easy on myself with diet and exercise. I want to be healthy, and I want to do a good job, but I never put pressure on myself," Emma told Zoe Report on her approach to exercise. She works out with trainer Andrea Orbeck, three times a week. "Our sessions are an hour, focusing mostly on arms, abs, and ass-the all-important three A's," she told Shape. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

"I also do yoga. I usually take classes with a friend," Emma revealed to Shape. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

Emma practices intuitive eating. "With my diet, I do what feels good for me at the time," she told Shape about her eating. "I try not to say that I won't eat something. Instead, I stay in tune with my body and my mind, and I think, What do I feel like eating?" 

Emma also does Pilates with Nonna Gleyzer at Body by Nonna. "I love Pilates. I feel very energized and centered when I walk out the door afterward.I tried to get into running, but it didn't work for me. Pilates is something you take your time at, and it makes me feel very clear," she continued. "I can see my shape transform within a couple of sessions," she maintains. "That's good because I'm that person who, after one class, lifts up her shirt and says, 'Where are my abs?' I want results!" Why is pilates a good workout? 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.
