Eva works hard to maintain her figure, and diet is one of the key components. "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 revealed to Vogue Australia. She also emphasized the important of doing both. "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."

"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. She also works out with trainer Grant Roberts, and does serious weight training. Her Instagram feed is filled with clips of her hardcore workouts, which involve a lot of compound moves to work multiple muscles simultaneously, like squat/rows, sled pushes, battle ropes, and school deadlifts.

5. Her Go-To Cardio? Trampoline

Eva is a huge advocate of trampoline workouts on a JumpSport trampoline. “Saturday workouts are better with a trampoline,” she recently captioned an image of the springy workout tool, which she has dubbed the “Rolls Royce” of trampolines.

Eva once revealed to Health that when she was her skinniest, she was also the unhealthiest n. “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 told Health in 2017.

Eva Longoria does it all. She’s an actress. She’s a businesswoman. She’s a spokesperson. She’s a restaurateur. She’s also one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. Longoria posted a stunning new swimsuit photo on Instagram this week. In it, she posed in a black bikini by the pool. She captioned the post, “Who else is trying to soak up these last few days of summer?” Read on to see 5 ways Eva Longoria 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 Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Doesn’t Wear Too Much Makeup

Longoria has amazing skin, and one of her secrets is rocking the natural look. “People think the trick to looking younger is makeup, but it’s skin-care,” Longoria told Allure. “If you don’t have good skin, piling on makeup just makes you look older and much worse. When it comes to makeup, I don’t overset or over powder it. The more powder you put on the fine lines in your face, the more you see it. Most people say ‘oh let me cover it’ but it looks much thicker and worse.”

2. She Puts On Sunscreen

Longoria tells Allure that sunscreen is a big part of her skincare. “My mother was so strict on wearing sunblock,” she says. “She always said, ‘the skin you take care of in your 20s is the skin you have in your 40s’.”

3. She’s Not Jealous

On the Connections podcast, Longoria revealed that she avoids feeling jealous. "I think jealousy takes up such an amount of energy," she says. "I remember being so jealous and like, your stomach is inside out. It's the worst feeling. Why would anybody want that feeling?”

4. She Promotes Diversity

Longoria is very philanthropic. One of her goals is to increase diversity in the media. She tells Us Weekly that she is working to get more stories told on television. “I have been part of VH1’s huge diversity initiative to get diverse storytellers behind the camera because if you get ’em behind the camera, then it translates to in front of the camera.”

5. She Cut Out Certain Things

After having her first child, Longoria decided to eat healthier to lose the baby weight. She told Us Weekly that she has cut out certain food in her regular diet. “I haven’t drunk wine. I haven’t eaten sugar. I haven’t seen a carb in awhile.”
