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.

4. She Also Lifts Weights

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

5. She Meditates

Eva maintains 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.”

Eva Longoria is getting her sweat on – on the padel court. In a new social media post the Desperate Housewives star shows off her incredible body in a padel dress during a strenuous workout. “That’s gonna leave a mark,” she wrote on the Instagram Stories clip. What does Eva love about padel and why is padel such a great workout? Here is everything you need to know.

1. Longoria Is “Addicted” to Padel

Longoria is “addicted” to the sport and “watches it all the time on TV, all the time on my Instagram,” she told CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies. “I was exposed to padel about 10 years ago through my husband and I became a fan.”

2. She Says It’s a Great Sport for Women

“Women are super talented in this sport,” she added. “So women should absolutely be heading these teams and being a part of management and a part of strategy for where the sport needs to go … These women on the padel tour are bringing a lot of fans to these matches.”

3. What Makes Padel a Good Workout?

Padel courts look like a small tennis court, but have glass walls that are actually part of the court. While very similar to tennis, the biggest difference is that the ball has to bounce off the floor before your opponent is able to hit it – and you can also hit the ball off the walls of the court. Why is padel such 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,” pro Jorge Rodriguez, Juan Lebron's padel coach, writes for racquet brand Babolat.

4. It’s Especially Good for Toning the Glutes and Arm Muscles

Padel is also a great workout for the glutes, “and all the muscles we use in the arms, making our posture firmer.”

5. It Burns Up to 1000 Calories Per Hour

It’s also a great cardiovascular workout. You can burn up to 1000 calories in one game, he maintains. It is also an aerobic workout, which means it helps strengthen your heart and improve other aspects of your health.

6. It Might Help Relax You

“A game of padel will alleviate stress after a hard day at work, and that’s the best antidepressant there is. You’ll feel happy and light-hearted as your body secretes dopamine, endorphins and serotonin - the well-known happiness hormones!” he adds.

7. All Ages Can Play Padel

Padel is a great workout for all ages. “Scientific research has shown that regular padel practice appears to be recommended to improve physical fitness and promote health, both in adults and children,” a 2022 study examining the benefits of padel concluded.

6. It’s a Social Game

Padel encourages socialization, as it is a doubles game. Engaging in social activities, especially later in life, has been linked to longevity.

1. It All Boils Down to Diet and Exercise

Eva is pretty blunt when it comes to health advice. "Especially as you get older, people want to know the secret to looking good and there is no secret. It's diet and exercise," she told Vogue Australia. "People say they eat well but they don't exercise. Or they run 20 miles a day but they can't lose weight. You have to do both."

2. She Does a Lot of Different Workouts

Instead of relying on one type of workout to stay in shape, Eva is constantly rotating them. "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.

3. She Eats Her Veggies

Eva makes sure to eat lots of veggies and an all-around healthy diet. "After I run, I eat probably the same thing every morning, which is egg whites with spinach and turkey bacon," she told 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."

4. She Works Out Like It’s Her Job

Eva weight trains with Grant Roberts and regularly shares videos of her sweat sessions on her Instagram feed. Some of the exercises she does? Compound moves to work multiple muscles simultaneously, like squat/rows, sled pushes, battle ropes, and school deadlifts.

Eva is realistic when it comes to her health and maintains that skinny does not equate to healthy. She once told Health that at her skinniest, she was also the unhealthiest she had ever been. “I try to have a healthy outlook. I'm your everlasting, hopeless optimist!” she said. "I don’t feel like we should go by these rules and social constructs of society where you have to be a certain size to be pretty," she added to Health a few years later.

6. She Has a Healthy Approach to Wellness’

Recently Eva has been obsessed with trampolining, using her JumpSport trampoline for fun workouts. “Saturday workouts are better with a trampoline,” she wrote alongside an image of the springy workout tool, which she has dubbed the “Rolls Royce” of trampolines.
