Halle Berry’s 5 Moves for Insane Abs at 58

Do you want an ab-fab body like Halle Berry at 58? The star has shared some of the “essential core workouts” she does with her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas. In a post, she revealed that the ab moves are “the kinds of exercises I do to accelerate muscular ab growth,” she wrote. “ What I’ve learned throughout my training this past year is that a strong core supports EVERY other part of your body, and if you’re performing exercises correctly, you’re always engaging your core - now that’s a win / win! Enjoy.”


Bear Crawl Bench Up And Downs

The first ab exercise she does is bear crawl bench up and downs. Here’s how to do it: Get down on your hands and knees, facing a couch or bench. Make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders with your knees off the floor, putting weight on your toes. Slowly lift your left hand without twisting your hips, placing it on the bench. Then do the same with your right. Return to your starting position, one hand at a time.

Lateral Hop With Bench

The next exercise is a lateral hop with a bench. Here’s how to do it: Place your hands on a bench and stand with your legs together on one side. Jump over the bench and then jump back.

Her third ab exercise is a reverse bear crawl bench up and downs. Here’s how to do it: On your hands and knees face away from a couch or bench. Keep your hands under your shoulder with your knees off the floor. Keep weight in your toes. With straight arms lift your right foot onto the bench. Next, do your left.

Hanging Oblique Crunch

The final exercise? Hanging windshield wipers. Again, start by hanging from a pullup bar with your legs dangling. Lift your butt and legs into the air using your core. Once your back is parallel with the floor swing your legs up to the left side of your body. Using your obliques, swing them to the other side.

Eva Longoria recently added a little bounce to her workout routine with the help of a trampoline. She doesn’t just jump on her mini JumpSport trampoline, she does kicks, jumps, and knee raises, alternating leg extensions and lunges, and lower abdominal crunches and leg and hip exercises. "Saturday workouts are better with a trampoline," she recently captioned an image of her workout. "Oh my god this feels amazing," she said while jumping. "It actually feels better on my knees." Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, M.D., an obesity medicine physician and educator specializing in the care of adults, adolescents, and children, who's working with JumpSport Fitness to encourage the healthy habit of daily movement through their Maintain Your Weight campaign, explains that trampolines are low impact on joints. "Using a fitness trampoline can help for those that may have excess weight or joint issues associated with the excess weight. Also, it is quite a fun activity to engage in!"

2. Vanessa Hudgens Does HIIT Bootcamps

Vanessa Hudgens is one of the many devotees of cult workout The Dogpound, a New York City and Los Angeles based training studio that hosts hardcore, bootcamp like group fitness classes. She can often be seen doing the workouts on Instagram.

"I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa told Popsugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself." In addition to the physical benefits of a high intensity workout, group exercise can also make your life better in other ways. According to a 2017 study in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, exercising in a group environment can help decrease stress and improve quality of life.

3. Kim Kardashian Does Strength Training

Kim Kardashian is in her best shape ever, and it has nothing to do with crash diets or trendy workouts. She and trainer Melissa Alcantara focus on long, strength training sessions to maintain Kim’s famous figure. "When it comes to booty and legs, we usually work out for an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes," Alcantara told Women's Health about their twice a week lower body workouts. "You don't want to go too hard or overwork that muscle, otherwise it doesn't have time to recover and grow.” Kim recently added treadmill sprints to her routine. "Been sprinting every day!" she wrote on an Instagram Story. "I've been seeing changes!"

4. Kate Hudson Does “Everything”

"I do everything. I have to switch it up, I get so bored," Kate Hudson told InStyle about her workout strategy. "I've been loving the Obé app, they have 20-minute workouts that are really hard and if you do them with the proper form they're really effective. I love my yoga apps, like Glo, and I use Body by Simone and Tracy Anderson's apps too — there's nothing better than her abs workout. I love my Peloton. I love Pilates — that's always been my number one." There are multiple reasons to switch up your workouts. Not only does it prevent boredom and overuse injuries but is a great way to ensure you are working all your muscles.

5. Halle Berry Fights

Halle Berry, 54, stays in fighting form with the help of both boxing and martial arts. “This is my favorite way to stay fit. What's yours?" she captioned a recent Instagram post of herself in full boxing form. In a recent interview with W magazine, Berry revealed that she's a major fan of martial arts workouts. "Jiu jitsu and judo have become my fast favorites," she revealed. Not only are fighting workouts fun and a great way to get in shape, they can boost mental health. One study published in the ​Japan Journal of Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences​ found boxing-style exercises promote feelings of relaxation and improve mood.

Halle Berry loves challenging her body, undergoing intense training for her MMA role in her directorial feature, Bruised (now on Netflix). Her tips and tricks to a healthy lifestyle perfectly showcase her dedication to wellness, so much so that she started her own wellness, health and spirituality community, rē•spin. She touted it this weekend. "Let’s get fit on this #FitnessFriday with @respin! Who’s joining us?💪🏽" she posted yesterday, with a photo of her riding a skateboard in a bathing suit. "It’s important to encourage yourself and others throughout your fitness journey," she added, tagging A-list celebrity trailer Peter Lee Thomas. "Let's get moving!... Always work to be the best version of yourself while landing on two feet..or four wheels." How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Halle Berry 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 Works Her Core

She’s over the crunches. "My average workout these days doesn't involve a single situp or crunch," Halle said to Women's Health. Although there is one ab move that she refuses to let go of because it’s so effective. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks,” admits Halle. “I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition.”

2. She Changes Up Her Workouts

Change is so clutch to continue challenging your muscles in different ways. Halle tries everything from MMA style cardio workouts, plyometric training, running, resistance training, and high intensity workouts with her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas.

3. She Tries Intermittent Fasting and Keto

It’s hard to know where to start with all of these fad diets, but intermittent fasting seems to be a big one with the stars. Berry generally will stick to fasting and blends that with a keto diet, focusing on high fats and protein to help control her type two diabetes. Thomas, Berry's trainer said "a lot of the time she will have a steak with a big green salad and not butter lettuce, it has to be dark greens like spinach and kale," he said. "Or she will have shredded chicken over a dark green leafy salad. Or she might have two or three eggs, not egg whites, she eats the whole egg because the yolk is very important."

4. Greens, Coffee, and Supplements Help Her in Her Journey

47th Annual People's Choice Awards - ArrivalsAmy Sussman/Getty Images

Posting often on her Instagram about it, she talks about what she does for meals including breakfast. Berry says, "a green drink or I do my bullet coffee,” referring to her morning routine. Bullet coffee involves adding oil or unsalted butter to coffee. It’s not too clear yet if this is good for you, but it works for Halle. She also relies on her amino acids to aid in building your muscles.

5. She Puts Self Care First

The emphasis that she puts on self-care is so important and should be seen more in this industry. Berry prioritizes meditation, practicing calming breaths and being mindful. In a Marie Claire article, Berry reveals that she learned the practice after working with a yogi master in India. "The experience not only profoundly changed me, but it inspired me to never go a day without some sort of meditation," she said.

Halle Berry’s career began when she competed in the Miss USA pageant in 1986. And today, at age 55, and having directed her first movie, Netflix’s Bruised, the actress still looks the same. Berry is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and has shown off her fit figure in several of her roles, and on Instagram. "On cloud wine #nationalroséday," she captioned a new photo. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Halle Berry 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 Prioritizes Her Ab Workouts, But Doesn’t Do Sit-ups Or Crunches

Berry’s abs have gotten praise, and for good reason. Berry toldWomen’s Health that she prioritizes her core workouts. However, she avoids certain ab exercises. "My average workout these days doesn't involve a single situp or crunch," Berry said. One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks. I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition. Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."

2. She Boxes

Berry does a lot of workouts, including boxing. "Boxing is still considered one of the best full-body workouts," she wrote on Instagram. "You'll sculpt every muscle and burn major calories and fat. It dramatically decreases stress levels, develops hand-eye coordination, and builds confidence and discipline. But most importantly... you'll never stop learning. I've been boxing for the past 10 years and regularly for the past three and I love that I always learn a new way to challenge myself and work new muscles."

3. She Does Yoga and Stretching

Berry is also a fan of doing yoga, and always makes sure to stretch. In an Instagram post, Berry is seen doing a shoulder stand pose. "After I work out, it's important for me to stretch and lengthen," she wrote. Fitness is not just about running, lifting and punching. For me, being athletic and super fit is also about being still, stretching and breathing. Including stretching in my fitness program helps my muscles stay long, limber, improves my mobility and range of motion, and most importantly, helps me avoid injuries."

4. She Takes Amino Acids

Berry’s personal trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, tells HollywoodLife that the actress takes amino acids. Thomas says she usually takes them in the morning and that, “She takes something called Master Amino Pattern by a company called Purium.” Thomas says that these have helped Berry out a lot. “Essentially it is the actual amino acids that build muscle, not the actual food source, because the food first needs to be converted into amino acids to create the muscle. If you imagine your body as a freeway system, these amino acids go straight onto the freeway. It’s the quickest way possible for your body to get these nutrients because nothing has to be digested. ”

5. She Intermittent Fasts

Berry revealed in a 2018 Instagram story that she intermittent fasts, and has found a lot of success with it. “I normally eat two meals a day,” Berry told her followers. “I normally skip breakfast and I sort of fast and I do my green drink or I do my bullet coffee.” Berry’s trainer, Peter Lee Thomas says the actress eats her first meal of the day after a workout. “Basically her breakfast and lunch combined,” Thomas told HollywoodLife. “She has that right after her workout because that is the best time to eat because your body is craving nutrients. The meal should be dense. A lot of the time she will have a steak with a big green salad and not butter lettuce, it has to be dark greens like spinach and kale. Or she will have shredded chicken over a dark green leafy salad. Or she might have two or three eggs, not egg whites, she eats the whole egg because the yolk is very important.”

6. She Is On The Keto Diet

Berry revealed on Instagram that she follows the famous Keto diet, and she has good reasons. Berry wrote, “Being diabetic most of my life, I have always had to take food very seriously. So for years, I have been following the keto or ketogenic diet.” Berry credits her Keto lifestyle, writing, “I hate the word “diet” so while you’ll see the word diet, just know I encourage you to think of it as a lifestyle change NOT A DIET! Keto is a very low-carb food plan which actually forces your body to burn fat like crazy. I also believe it’s been largely responsible for slowing down my aging process. The keto lifestyle offers so many benefits such as weight loss, (moms that’s how we get rid of our baby bellies), appetite control, more energy and better mental performance. If you’re like me, you can possibly reverse type 2 diabetes, you’ll experience better physical endurance, better skin and also less acne if that’s an issue. And it even helps control migraines!”

7. She Stays Hydrated

Berry makes sure to stay hydrated throughout the day. And she makes sure to start early. According to Berry’s trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, the actress will start her day with water. “First of all, Halle never eats breakfast,” he told HollywoodLife.com. “She starts her day with a big glass of water, about 8-12 oz., usually with a little lemon squeezed into it for flavor.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and these other hot Hollywood stars are eligible for an AARP discount. Over 50, they are aging incredibly gracefully not only due to their genetics, but devotion to health, fitness, and wellness. Celebwell has rounded up the best tips, tricks, and tactics these over-50 stars live by in order to look decades younger than their numerical age. Read on to see the photos that prove they work—and to get summer-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. Jennifer Lopez

"I'm in the best shape of my life," Jennifer Lopez, 52, recently admitted in a May 2021 cover story for InStyle's The Beauty Issue. While she’s always been a fitness inspiration, her workouts have become more efficient as she has aged. "In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now," she revealed. "It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter. And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!"

2. Heather Graham

Heather Graham, 51, revealed a few of her stay-fit secrets to Refinery29. Not only does she avoid complex carbohydrates—white flour and sugar—but she does a lot of yoga (sometimes multiple workouts a day) and pilates.

3. Demi Moore

Demi Moore, a longtime yogi, recently upped her workout game with the help of at-home workout classes via The Mirror. The 58-year-old also enjoys going on hikes with her family, eats healthy, and doesn’t drink alcohol or do drugs.

4. Catherine Zeta-Jones

Unlike pretty much every other Hollywood star, Catherine Zeta-Jones, 51, doesn’t have a personal trainer. Instead, the Welsh actress trains herself. “I don’t have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don’t need anyone to motivate me,” she told InStyle. “I love exercise, even things like the elliptical machine and stretching. It’s a legacy of dancing all those years.” According to Catherine she works “at least 45 minutes a day, seven days a week” with some of her favorite workouts being swimming, tennis, peloton, and tap dancing.

5. Paulina Porzikova

Supermodel Paulina Porzikova, 56, didn’t start exercising until she was 40, but now breaks a sweat almost daily. “I try to exercise at least 3-5 days a week. And you know what? I frickin hate it,” she recently revealed in one of her workout videos. “I don’t like to sweat and huff and puff and hurt. If sitting on a couch, eating cake, drinking wine and reading did the same for me as exercise, there would be no contest. BUT. I have come to find out that ‘working out’ is that perfect little pill everyone is looking for. It makes you feel good, look good, good for your brain and body - a small miracle that has to be paid of by a little discomfort.” Her favorite workouts include dancing, rowing, and pilates.

6. Kelly Ripa

Kelly Ripa, 50, refuses to skip a workout "I work out seven days a week," she told In the Know. "And I try to workout an hour and a half a day, no matter what — whether I'm working or not. If I'm working, maybe I'll start it a little bit later or a little bit earlier, depending on what day of the week it is. But I am very religious about my fitness."

7. Salma Hayek

While Salma Hayek, 54, has revealed a number of times that she hates to work out, she does stay moving and has also discovered a creative way to engage her muscles. "Some people have the discipline to exercise in the morning, and I didn't develop that," she told People. "I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long. So even when you brush your teeth, you're working the muscles," she continued. "It's restorative yoga. She taught me how to tone [my muscles] without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you're aware of your body, you'd be surprised by the effect it can have."

8. Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston has always maintained one of the fittest bodies in Hollywood, mostly due to her devotion to healthy diet and exercise. She once revealed to InStyle that she works out “almost every day, at least five or six days a week." And “variety is key” when it comes to the 52-year-old’s workout. "Mixing it up is always fun because that way you know you're excited, and it's muscle confusion. It keeps your body awake," she told Women’s Health. Her favorite workouts include cycling, yoga, barre method, Body by Simone and more recently, boxing. "It's the longest workout I've actually stayed with consistently other than yoga," she told InStyle. "There's something about the mental aspect of boxing — the drills, your brain has to work, you're not just sitting on a bike. It's amazing."

9. Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth Hurley, 56, doesn’t work out. “I don’t exercise, but I am very active,” she admitted to Harper’s Bazaar. She clarified to Us Weekly in October 2018 that she stays in shape by “being active” which includes “going for walks, stretching, maybe a little yoga or a little Pilates. But I don’t like high impact, high energy sports. I don’t actually think they do you much good. As long as you get your heart rate to the rate you need it to get, which is a fast walk. But you need to do a bit of it.” She does count steps, however, “I walk every day, so I try and hit my 10,000 steps a day and I do some stretching every day. And then sometimes I do a bit more, but that’s enough for me really.”

10. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford, 55, might not be making workout videos these days, but she is still engaging in regular strength and weight training workouts, posting her clips on social media. She also boxes with her husband, golfs, and surfs. She recently told Red magazine that her workouts have evolved from her supermodel days. Instead of working out until she drops, she takes it easier. “Now my goal is not to get hurt. So, I have added a lot more stretching and Pilates, and I don’t feel as compelled to do those tough workouts any more,” she said.

11. Halle Berry

For Halle Berry, 54, fitness is simply a part of her lifestyle. You just have to have the will and the desire. And you have to make up your mind that it's important. That's the hard work that people “always been fit, and have always thought about fitness and taking care of my body,” her approach has evolved. “It's only changed in terms of how I've been adding to my fitness regimen. It used to just be working out with weights, and then I got into Pilates, and then I got into yoga, and now I'm into martial arts."

12. Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone, 63, stays incredibly active and switches up her workouts. "Every time I exercise, I do something different based on which areas need to get in motion," she told Shape. This includes four to five times a week workouts, combining pilates, total-body stretches, strength training, yoga, and dance. She also avoids alcohol and caffeine and eats incredibly healthy, avoiding gluten.

Halle Berry is an extremely successful actress. She’s known for her roles in Catwoman and Monster’s Ball. She was the first actress of color to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the latter film. Berry shares a lot of fitness posts on Instagram. Recently, she posted a photo of herself in her home gym. Berry captioned the post, “Rise and grind... it’s Monday! Thank you @peterleethomas for always pushing me to my limits!” 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 personal trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, to help her stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that having a personal trainer has a lot of benefits. “The gym can be intimidating. Working with a trainer allows you to become confident with how to perform exercises, use machines and navigate the facility. After a few sessions, you will feel ready to tackle the weight room on your own. Even better, an ego boost during exercise can promote stronger self-confidence and self-efficacy, which can help you stick with your exercise program over the long term.”

2. She’s Consistent

Halle Berry.2Halle Berry/Instagram

Berry is consistent with her workouts. Thomas talked to E! News about the actress’ schedule. "We typically meet up every day, five days a week,” he revealed. “She’s putting in the work. She doesn’t mess around. That’s really, really great for me because I know that when we go there it’s like preparing for war. There’s an objective and there’s a goal.”

3. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Berry likes to do a variety of workouts to keep herself in shape. Thomas tells People that he likes to surprise her with what they are doing at sessions. “She never truly understands what’s going to happen for that morning, for that day,” says Thomas. “I bring a constellation of things. That, in itself, is quite challenging because she has to be ready almost on improv. It can break a lot of people, who don’t see the workout the day prior.”

4. She Uses Dumbbells

Berry shares a lot of her workouts on Instagram. In this video, she is seen using dumbbells. Berry captioned the post, “It’s #fitnessfriday once again! @PeterLeethomas put me through a simple dumbbell workout, but let me tell you it was an AB BURNER! And if you wanna know what that hard-to-drink liquid is and why I’m drinking it, head to @respin and get all the deets. Plus get my actual workout and a new smoothie recipe by my nutritionist @BeWellByKelly. Let’s keep getting fit together! 💪🏽”

5. She’s On The Keto Diet

Berry is open about following the ketogenic diet. She tells Women’s Health that she went on the plan to help her manage her diabetes. "I wanted to get off of insulin, so I decided to say goodbye to processed carbs and sugar like baked goods and white bread — and it has seriously paid off. For more than 15 years, eating this way has helped me manage my diabetes — but it’s also given me a ton of energy and helped me maintain my weight and stay in shape."

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
