Academy Award winning actress, Halle Berry, has consistently been considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. And her recent Instagram post proves it. She shared a photo of herself outside, wearing a tank top, gold jewelry, a patterned shirt, and a bandana. Berry captioned the post, “Mood.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Halle Berry stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Works With A Trainer
Berry works with trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, to help her stay in shape. She opened up about working with him on Instagram. “With his help, I have learned so much about fitness and nutrition," she said in her caption. "I'm excited to share it with all of you. He's taught me boxing, self defense, and much more. Not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I can actually defend myself and most importantly . . . my children! As a woman there is nothing more empowering."
2. She Makes Wellness A Priority
Berry opened up about her wellness in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she makes her health a priority. "Being diagnosed with diabetes—that was an aha moment that just changed my whole life. When I realized that I had a disease that I could actually manage by my diet and exercise, and live longer and stay healthier? That's when I got really committed to making fitness and exercise and diet a real part of my life."

Berry said in her Harper’s Bazaar interview that taking care of her gut is extremely important. “Everything stems from your gut. As I've said, all of your other organs become healthier when your gut is healthy and your microbiome is balanced. And when your gut's healthy, you also metabolize food better, especially sugar. We all need to metabolize sugar better to get it in and out of our bodies as quickly as we can, because we all know some of the unhealthy effects of sugar.”
4. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

When it comes to fitness, Berry believes in doing a variety of things. She shared her workout routine with InStyle. “Over the past few years, I went from training for John Wick 3 to my upcoming film and directorial debut BRUISED. Some days I'd work on strength and cardio and others I'd do yoga and stretching, all while I did a few hours of martial arts training each day. For me, it's been important not to overstress my body. Taking cold hot showers has been a good recovery ritual.”
5. She Takes Care Of Her Mental Health
Berry makes sure to take care of her mental health, and shared her favorite ways to do so with InStyle. “I've also found that taking care of my mental health has been crucial during these odd times. I just launched my Journal on Joy at rē·spin which is part of my bedtime routine. It is a space to record memories that make you smile and helps me focus on positivity and gratitude. Also reading self-help books on ways to stay grounded and centered during this time has been widely helpful and inspirational.”
