Jordana has suffered from disordered eating. In a personal essay for Glamour published in 2021, she revealed her struggle with both binge and restricted eating, while she was married to former husband, Andrew Form. "The first year of our marriage, I started to binge and developed an eating disorder," she wrote. "(Form) was kind and safe and supported me. I knew something was wrong with me." However, after going to therapy she has achieved "a level of peace" with her body. "If body issues do come up, I deal with them head-on," she added.

4. She Works Out Early

Jordana gets her workouts over as early as possible. “I get up at, like, 5:15 a.m. every morning to run. I like treadmills—it hurts my knees too much to run outside. [My mom] is still a member at [a gym]. She’s in her mid-60s, and she works out. So I really got that from her, and I still defer to her,” she told Health.

5. Her Diet Is Clean

Jordana maintains a clean diet, focusing on whole foods. “I try to eat as natural as possible, and I try to eat organic,” she told Hollywood Life. “I also try to avoid processed food.” Another things she tries to stay away from? Sugar.

Jordana Brewster has played Mia Toretto since the first film. She shared some of her favorite healthy meals with OK! Magazine. “[I’ll] steam tons of vegetables and add avocado.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined the franchise as Luke Hobbes in Fast Five. He’d later get his own spinoff film, Hobbes & Shaw. He talked about wanting to stay motivated to stay in shape to Muscle & Fitness. “It occurred to me that all of the men I knew who had achieved success were all men of great physical stature,” Johnson said. “And I knew that they all got that way through sweat equity—putting callouses on their hands. So in my mind, the key was simple: I’d continue going to the gym and work harder than before, and then I’d follow their path to greatness.”

3. Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle Rodriguez plays Letty Ortiz. She shared her diet in an interview with OK! Magazine. “I eat a lot of free-range chicken. I eat a lot of salads. I gravitate towards broccoli, spinach, beets — beets are great. As far as sustenance goes, I feel I need that protein like fish or chicken to give me the boost."

4. Tyrese Gibson

Tyrese Gibson joined the franchise in 2 Fast 2 Furious, playing Roman Pearce. He shared to Men’s Journal that his mindset is important when it comes to wellness. “I struggled for years with my focus.

Gal Gadot is known for her action roles. She plays Gisele Yashar in the film series. Gadot talked about her fitness routine to Good Housekeeping. “I incorporated pilates into my workout routine, because I feel like there's something so holistic about pilates, and opening your rib cage and actually focusing on breathing."

6. Brie Larson

Brie Larson played Tess in Fast X. She shared her skincare secrets in an interview with Allure. “My skin-care routine has become how I begin and end my day. I am much more regimented about it than I ever was before because it's like, ‘Okay, the day has begun. I'm going to wash my face. I'm going to moisturize.’”

7. Nathalie Emmanuel

Nathalie Emmanuel plays Ramsey, and joined the franchise in Furious 7. She shared her approach to fitness with OK!

Charlize Theron has appeared in three films as the villain Cipher. She shared her diet secrets with OK! Magazine. “I have juices and kale and green salads every day.

9. Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa played Dante Reyes in Fast X. His trainer, Damien Viera, shared his secrets with Men’s Journal. “Jason couldn’t do something like a ketogenic diet, because he needs readily charged energy from carbs to be explosive. And when I say carbs, I’m not talking about breads and pastas—those are long gone. I’m talking about cruciferous vegetables and fruits. You can’t train the way we do with fat for fuel; you need the carbs for explosive movements.”

10. Jason Statham

Daniela Melchior plays Isabel Neves in Fast X. She shared some of her favorite skin products with Byrdie. “In the morning, I do toner, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid—but only when my skin needs it because sometimes it [makes me] break out. After hyaluronic acid, I put on moisturizer, eye cream. And sunscreen all the time—even if I stay home—because it's so important."

12. Alan Ritchson

Alan Ritchson played Aimes in Fast X. He opened up about his approach to diet and exercise to Men’s Health. He says that since he works out a lot, he can indulge from time to time. “If your lifestyle is one of health and fitness, every day can become a cheat day,” Ritchson said. “You don't have to go on these insane calorie deficit sprees and punish yourself in the gym. I work out 30 to 45 minutes a day. I get it in, get a little pump [and then] I might have a slice of pizza for lunch because I feel like it and I earned it.”

13. John Cena

John Cena plays Jakob Toretto. He talked about his fitness routine in an interview with GQ. “My training has switched a lot because I’m old,” Cena says. “I started lifting weights in a dedicated fashion when I was 12 years old. If you do the math, I’m coming up on 35 years of that. That’s a long time. The biggest shift when I was in the WWE is, every day, I tried to be the strongest version I can be that day. Now, I’m trying to be able to lift weights when I’m 80, so I need to take a little bit more care of myself for the long term. I have a 40,000-foot perspective. It’s a lot more work on flexibility and a lot more warming up.”

14. Nathalie Kelley

Nathalie Kelley played Neela in The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. She shared some of her favorite foods with The Cut. “I try to have a hot water and lemon juice in the morning and something fermented. Then I’ll have broccoli cooked in beef lard or some kind of animal fat for breakfast. I kind of try not to have grains at all in my life, although they are my weakness. I try to eat a lot of animal fats and vegetables together.”

Read on to see 5 ways Jordana Brewster 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 Does Virtual Sessions With A Trainer

Brewster opened up about her life in the COVID-19 pandemic in an interview with Health. She says that she managed to stay in shape when gyms were closed. She says that one of the things she did was doing virtual sessions with her trainer. “​​I’m very lucky in that I’ve been doing FaceTime workouts with my trainer, Harley Pasternak.”

2. She Goes Outside

Brewster also told Health that she loves to spend time outside as a way to stay in shape. She says that she still made time to go outside during the pandemic. “I also go on hikes, which is really nice. I need to get steps in. I need to be outside and breathing fresh air. I’m so lucky that I live in L.A., where I can do that, because otherwise I would go absolutely stir-crazy.”

3. She Slowed Down

Brewster told Health that her life slowed down due to the pandemic. She says that she has greatly appreciated this switch, and that she is going to try to keep this up in the future. “It’s massively simplified everything. I’m a little bit like a hamster on a wheel. And I feel like I often give myself a to-do list because I want to feel like I’m accomplishing something. But it’s not really accomplishing anything. Now I’m actually spending time with my kids, reading, and going on hikes. And I’m noticing, ‘Oh, my drawers need cleaning.’ It’s making me far more practical, and that’s really grounding. I really hope that I don’t get back into the rat race, that I continue to slow down a bit and continue to simplify. I think that’s the biggest gift.”

4. She Focuses On Her Body In The Moment

Brewster is open about her struggles with an eating disorder. She tells The Retaility that she used to obsess about her body and her weight. To overcome this, she is working on focusing on her body in the moment. “Ten years ago, I was so concerned about, ‘How does my stomach look? How does my" backside "look?’ There was so much pressure on actresses to look a certain way and that’s exhausting and such a waste of energy, because instead of reading or focusing on your character, you’re focused on ‘How do I look right now and is it perfect enough?’”

5. She Goes To Therapy

Brewster tells The Retaility that she is in therapy, and that her therapist, Kasey Crown, has really helped her out. “She’s awesome,” she says. “Because she’s a therapist, but not a conventional therapist. She grounds me before each session. There’s going to be a meditative retreat in Ojai where she’s helping me learn to check in with myself before I say yes to anything. She’s helping me develop boundaries. I feel like I was boundaryless for so long.”
