Eva Longoria in Workout Gear Says "February Flew By"

Eva Longoria is playing racquet sports – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Desperate Housewives alum shows off her amazing body while on the courts. “February flew by!” she captioned a series of Instagram snaps, including one of herself holding a paddle with her pals. How does the star maintain her fit physique? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Padel

Eva enjoys racquet sports, including padel. Jorge Rodriguez, Juan Lebron's padel coach, explains that there are several reasons why padel is a great workout. “One of the many objectives that we seek to achieve through participating in sport is to improve general muscle tone, and playing padel even helps tone the muscles in the face, because you will not stop smiling. It also improves our coordination, mobility and reflexes,” he writes for racquet brand Babolat. Padel, which is basically a fusion of tennis, badminton, and squash, is also a great workout for the glutes, “and all the muscles we use in the arms, making our posture firmer.” It can burn between 700 and 1000 calories and helps strengthen your heart and improve other aspects of your health.

2. Daily Workouts for Her “Mental Health”

“I work out five, six times a week, but my workouts are my mental health hour. I really need that energy and endorphins in the morning to really function throughout the day. So I love that it obviously has great side effects of being in shape, but for me it really clears my mind and I’m a better mom, and I’m a better businesswoman, and I’m a better wife because I get those endorphins first thing in the morning,” she told Reader’s Digest’s The Healthy.

3. Trampoline Workouts

Eva loves jumping on the trampoline. She “started coming out of postpartum with bouncing. I love my trampoline workouts because it’s high-intensity but low-impact, and I don’t have the best knees,” she told The Healthy. “Bouncing on the trampoline was amazing. And it’s also great for your mind. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics as well with sequencing, and memorization, and it’s like a dance routine, and so it’s creative. I mean, it was really servicing everything I was looking for at the time.”

4. Weight Lifting

Eva also weight trains, viewing it as a “supplement” to her jumping. “I do a lot of weight training with my trainer,” she said.

5. Meditation

Eva explains that “meditating” is another crucial health habit. “It’s just lifesaving, and I only do it five minutes a day. It’s not like I do an hour of meditation. No, sometimes I do it two minutes … but I do it,” she told The Healthy. “It grounds you in your day. I do all these guided meditations.”

6. Different Workouts

"I do a lot. I'm a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I'm just constantly mixing it up," she told People.

7. (Mostly) Plant-Based Diet

Eva’s diet is primarily plant-based. "After I run, I eat probably the same thing every morning, which is egg whites with spinach and turkey bacon," she dished to The Cut. "I could easily be a vegetarian because I love vegetables so much and I feel like L.A. is a place that can support healthy living," she added to InStyle. "I love cooking with vegetables and I have a secret for cooking with vegetables, [which] is that they don't need a lot. A lot of people cover them in cheese or cover them in a sauce, and vegetables really only need olive oil."

Eva Longoria is showing off her forever young figure in a swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the actress and director shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit, posing on the beach with her pals. “Beach day,” she captioned the Instagram Stories photo. How does the actress manage to look as good at 48 as she did at 28? In a recent interview, she revealed all of her secrets to longevity.

1. She Takes “Advantage” of Anti-Aging “Tecnology”

In a recent interview with Reader’s Digest’s The Healthy, Eva was asked about the secret to her longevity. “Nobody is going to beat aging. I’m not doing any anti-aging things. But as you go along life, the technology has been so amazing in the last decade in regards to skincare, and healthcare, and just taking care of your bodies, that why not take advantage of that technology? A lot of women want to feel good in their skin. And so what happened with me was I had Santi, and I gave myself a lot of time to be grateful to my body for producing a human being. So I wasn’t rushing to get back to the way I was before, or How fast is she going to bounce back? and all that. So he was almost a year old by the time I go, ‘OK, let me get back into my workout routine.’ And then it was years later after I was working out regularly eating well, sleeping well, doing everything right, that I finally go, ‘Oh, I still have this saggy skin that I want to tighten up. How do you do that?’ And I was talking to a mommy friend of mine and she was like, ‘Oh honey, you should do Morpheus8.’ And I was like, ‘What? What is that?’ And she said, ‘Oh, it’s this radio frequency that tightens the stomach, or face, or arms, or whatever, and it tightens the skin, and it tells your stomach to wake up and start making collagen again.’ And I was like, ‘Oh wow.’”

2. She Works Out Almost Every Day for Her “Mental Health”

Eva maintains that exercise is not just for her physical health. “I work out five, six times a week, but my workouts are my mental health hour. I really need that energy and endorphins in the morning to really function throughout the day. So I love that it obviously has great side effects of being in shape, but for me it really clears my mind and I’m a better mom, and I’m a better businesswoman, and I’m a better wife because I get those endorphins first thing in the morning,” she told The Healthy.

3. She Loves Her Trampoline Workouts

“So I started coming out of postpartum with bouncing. I love my trampoline workouts because it’s high-intensity but low-impact, and I don’t have the best knees. And I was like, “I can’t run anymore. What could I do that gets that sweat but isn’t so impactful on my body?” Bouncing on the trampoline was amazing. And it’s also great for your mind. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics as well with sequencing, and memorization, and it’s like a dance routine, and so it’s creative. I mean, it was really servicing everything I was looking for at the time,” she told The Healthy.

Because just doing a squat wouldn’t be enough for Eva, she showed off a combination move.

2. She Also Does This Modified Plank

Most people struggle to execute a standard plank, but not Eva. She is in such fantastic shape that she can do an extremely tough modification, which involves planking and then rotating her body to the side, back into plank, and then to the other side. She shared a video of this move over the weekend. Eva also wore Buffbunny in this workout video, the Revolution Sports Bra ($48) & Rosa Legging in Midnight Navy ($68).

3. Her Leg Workout Is Intense

To kick off 2022, Eva shared a video detailing her leg workout, and it was just as brutal as you might expect. For most of the moves she wore her resistance band to maximize the burn as she squatted, lunged, and kick-backed her way through the routine.

4. Here Is What Her Overall Workout Routine Looks Like

According to another one of Eva’s videos, she starts her workouts with some stretches, followed by some exercises on her JumpSport trampoline—including a variety of crunches. Next, she lifts weights. “I do very heavy weights,” she told Women’s Health in the March 2022 issue. “I feel like my body changes the most when I do that—I wear a heart rate monitor, and I can see my heart rate spike from just doing a heavy bicep curl,” she added. After lifting weights, Eva does some more ab exercises, including bicycles. Finally, she stretches.

5. She Works Out Daily

Eva works out every single day for up to 75 minutes. “If I have to wake up early and take a flight, when I land, I’ll go for a walk because I didn’t get to work out,” she told Women’s Health. “Even if it’s just stretching, I need to do something.”

A lot of people cover them in cheese or cover them in a sauce, and vegetables really only need olive oil."
