Halle Berry Reveals the Fitness Habits She Swears By at 59
American actress, model, and producer, Halle Berry, has been a big name in Hollywood for years. In addition to her acting career, she’s passionate about her health and wellness journey, aiming to be the best version of herself inside and out. Here are five fitness habits Halle swears by, incorporating them into her daily life.
She’s building muscle
She focuses on building muscle and strength training. “I used to do a lot of cardio. Right now, I’m trying to put muscle mass on, so I lift weights now and I never used to lift weights before,” she said. “I only did my own body weight and cardio like cycling and running. Now I just do pretty much boring – what I find boring – but it’s necessary for this stage of life, really just heavier weights than I’ve ever lifted, and I do it probably two days a week at least.”
She challenges herself
She finds ways to challenge herself athletically. “Whelp, had to do another climb this time a bonding mommy son solo climb and scary af! Thank you @adventurepart and JJ for this magical experience. This is living !!💪🏽,” she said on a video on Instagram of her scaling cliffs and conquering a hanging rope bridge.
She aims to be healthy
She prioritizes healthy strength training. “I never wanted to get muscly, you know I wanted to just stay healthy. I was doing it to manage my diabetes, but I didn’t want to be muscly and now I’m lifting heavy weights and I’m still not getting muscly,” she said. “I’m just kind of holding on to the muscle that I have and that’s important at this age.”
She prioritizes moving her body
Exercise and staying active is extremely important to Halle. “Exercise can make a real difference during menopause and I’m proud to finally announce @respin’s partnership with @onepeloton! Join me in hoping to change the world for all women,” she said in a photo on Instagram.
She navigates body changes
She manages changes with her body well. “Today is the start of menopause awareness month, and I feel blessed to have arrived at this golden hour of my life. 10 years ago you could never have told me that I would be a champion for menopause-that I would create a company called Re-spin to support women going through menopause or that I would feel like the best version of myself while in menopause! This is a celebration ladies and let’s get loud and proud and celebrate our golden hour all month long,” she said on Instagram.
