Jamie Lee Curtis In Workout Gear is Inspired By Jake Gyllenhaal In “Road House”

"You don't have to run if you can't, but it's good to get up and do something."

Jamie Lee Curtis is giving props to the hard work Jake Gyllenhaal put in to get his strong physique in Roadhouse, and reminding everyone any movement is good for you. Curtis, 65, shared a picture of herself wearing black shorts and a black shirt with the Heartbreak Hill Running Company logo. “Happy to get out of bed and move my body. You don't have to run if you can't, but it's good to get up and do something. I love @heartbreak.run and their partnership with @jakegyllenhaal who, if you haven't seen @roadhousemovie yet, did a little running and maybe worked out a tad!” she captioned the post. Here’s the refreshing way Curtis approaches health, wellness, and beauty.


1. Walking With Friends

Curtis says walking—preferably with friends—is one of the best exercises anyone can do. “Several studies have found that walking reduces arthritis-related pain, and that walking five to six miles a week can even prevent arthritis from forming in the first place,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “Walking protects the joints — especially the knees and hips, which are most susceptible to osteoarthritis — by lubricating them and strengthening the muscles that support them.”

2. No To Botox

Curtis wants her daughters to not follow her example when it comes to cosmetic procedures—specifically when it comes to anti-aging tweaks. "Don't mess with your face," she told Today. "I did plastic surgery. I put Botox in my head. Does Botox make the big wrinkle go away? Yes. But then you look like a plastic figurine."

3. 25 Years of Sobriety

Sobriety,Word,In,A,Dictionary.,Sobriety,Concept.Shutterstock

Curtis is celebrating 25 years of sobriety. “I’m sober for a long time, long time — almost 25 years,” she told Today. “And the best thing I learned last year in recovery was people aren’t pleased when you stop people-pleasing. ... It was as if the greatest sage arrived on me. So I’m trying to own it. Isn’t that what life is supposed to be? We grow up, we learn, we do all these things. Now we have to own it. We have to own who we are, be who we are, and be in full acceptance of who we are and what we’re not. And I think that’s the beauty of me right now — owning it.”

4. Short Hair, Don’t Care

Curtis felt empowered by cutting her hair short. “It’s this stripping away the unessential aspects of your life,” she told Maria Shriver. “I’ve stripped away my hair. I could never figure out what to do with my hair. I couldn't figure it out… so I finally figured it out—cut it off! I have stripped away the things that are not essential to me. I’m not a fashion girl, so I wear basically black or navy blue. I keep my hair short… so I can get done with the quotidian aspects of my life, so I am free to do the creative aspects of my life.”

5. She’s Pro-Aging

Curtis is adamant that aging is a privilege and so is natural beauty. “This word ‘anti-aging’ has to be struck. I am pro-aging,” she told Maria Shriver. “I want to age with intelligence and grace and dignity and verve and energy. I am an advocate now for natural beauty. I don’t want to hide from (my age) it as if it’s a bad thing. We’re all learning that people are on fire from it. It’s an inside job, we’re so confused on the outside, but the joy of being my age is an inside infrastructure.”

Jessica Biel is wishing her husband a happy birthday – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the actress shows off her amazing body during a couple’s workout session while honoring Justin Timberlake on his special day. “I ALWAYS got you. Happy birthday, babe,” she captioned the Instagram video, filled with various memories of the couple. How does Jessica stay in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her diet and workout routine.


1. She Is “Aware” of Her Body

Jessica,Biel,At,The,Los,Angeles,Premiere,Of,'trolls,BandJessica Biel/Instagram

"I'm aware of how my muscles feel, what it feels like when anything changes. Playing sports and being physical helps me maintain that sort of relationship with my own body. So when I'm doing something, or performing in a physical role, I understand that," Jessica explained to ESPN.

2. She Has a Workout Buddy

Jessica, who trains with celebrity body guru Ben Bruno, has the perfect workout buddy. “Please excuse the photobomb from @justintimberlake while @jessicabiel casually knocks out a super-impressive set of single leg squats,” Bruno captioned one video of their workout. “We’ll give Justin a pass since he’s doing sled rows with four plates on the sled and making it look easy. They’ve definitely gotta be one of the fittest couples around, and they always work hard in the gym while also making sure to keep it fun. Very cool.” “Swolemates,” she captioned another couple’s workout clip.

3. She Does Yoga

Young,Pregnant,Woman,Doing,Fitness,And,Yoga,Excercises,On,BlueShutterstock

Jessica is a yogi. "I started getting into yoga about 10 years ago through a close friend who was an instructor. At first I felt like, ‘I can’t do all those crazy poses,’ and I still can’t, but I’m not competing with anyone. I want to demystify yoga and bring it out to more women and men in the community, where it doesn’t have to be intimidating,” Jessica told Gaiam about her love of the practice.

4. She Avoids Gluten, Wheat, and Dairy

While Jessica is “not all-out anything," she tells Los Angeles Times, she does avoid a few types of food. "Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she said. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy." What does she eat in a day? “We’ll start off with Paleo pancakes with some cashew or almond butter on top with some local honey, and we like chicken-apple sausage, and then maybe a fresh juice from the Juicero machine, which we love, we have some green tea with honey—that’s a pretty normal morning for me,” she said. She eats salad with greens from her garden with quinoa or a veggie burger from Whole Foods and nuts for lunch. One of her favorite snacks is gluten-free pretzels with dairy-free almond 'cheese' dip. “And then dinner, if we’re home, it would be cooking up some salmon, some rice, grilling some vegetables, or going out and having some chicken, something a little heartier for dinner,” she added

5. She Hikes

Jessica loves to hike. "I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me,” she told Glamour about hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. “When you get out into the wilderness and strip [away] all of the stuff in your everyday life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it is. Needing things starts to feel like, Oh, I kind of have everything, don't I? It's pretty great."

Celebrities are famous for losing and gaining weight in the public eye. However, sometimes there is professional ambition behind their body transformations. Christian Bale, Tom Hanks, and Anne Hathaway’s drastic transformations for movie roles are some of the most talked about. However, there are other body makeovers that have gotten less, but equally deserved, recognition. Here are 7 stars who have transformed their bodies for roles.


1. Halle Berry: Bruised

95th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Sure, Halle Berry has been known as one of the fittest female celebrities for almost her entire career. But the Academy Award winner was determined to get “ripped abs” for her MMA movie Bruised. She went viral when she shared an Instagram snap of her six-pack with fans. According to the 56-year-old, she worked out a whopping four hours a day, doing high-intensity MMA-style cardio workouts, strength training, plyometric training, running, and boxing, and did intermittent fasting while on the keto diet.

2. Kate Bosworth: Blue Crush

Kate Bosworth, a former model, had a lean figure when she booked her career-changing role in the 2002 film Blue Crush. However, she needed to transform her body into a surfer girl. "That was the most intense physical experience I have ever gone through," she said. She has since revealed that she spent seven hours a day training for the part, doing high-intensity cross-training. "[It] took four hours of surfing and an hour of weight training and an hour of either running the beach or running under the water with a rock."

3. Jennifer Lopez: Hustlers

Jennifer Lopez upped her already intense training game for her role as a stripper in Hustlers. "It's rough on your body," Jennifer, who installed a pole in her home said, about training for the film in a YouTube vlog. She worked with choreographer and instructor Johanna Sapakie for six weeks, claiming it was one of the toughest training periods of her life.

4. Gal Gadot: Wonder Woman

Not just anyone can play Wonder Woman, but Gal Gadot understood the assignment. The Israeli actress trained for six hours a day for six months to get in superhero shape for the role of her lifetime. "I did two hours gym work, two hours fight choreography, and two hours horseback riding. Which is super hard," she said during an appearance on Live With Kelly And Ryan.

5. Blake Lively: The Shallows

While Blake Lively is known for having one of the best bodies in Hollywood and normally wouldn’t have to do much to get in shape for a role, even one that required her to be in a bikini nonstop, the timing of The Shallows was a little bit different: Filming started just months after welcoming her daughter, James. "I was working out 13 hours a day because shooting was working out," she told Entertainment Tonight. "It was neat to be able to do that, and it was neat to have that challenge after having a baby, because you think your body is so different—you think no matter what, it's never [going to be] totally be the same. I thought, 'That's really encouraging.'" She trained with Don Saladino and made some serious dietary changing, eliminating soy and gluten. "It's all in moderation," she explained People. "You just have a balance of protein, carbs, and vegetables. And it wasn't the worst. Like, I was eating rice and sushi."

6. Hilary Swank: Million Dollar Baby

Hilary Swank worked hard to gain 19 pounds of muscle and transform into a boxer for Million Dollar Baby. According to the star, she spent 2.5 hours of boxing and 2 hours of weightlifting every day, six days a week for three months. She would also have to wake up in the middle of the night to consume protein in order to sustain the workouts. "There was a point where I could only eat 50 grams of carbs a day," she said. "Just to give you an example of that, an 8-ounce glass of apple juice has 30 grams of carbs in it." The hard work paid off: She won an Oscar for the role.

7. Brie Larson: Captain Marvel

Brie Larson got famously fit to play Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel. She trained with Jason Walsh, who put her through rigorous workouts lifting heavy weights, rock climbing, doing mixed martial arts, and boxing. She even got so strong she was able to push a "5,000 [pound] Jeep (with a full tank of gas)" for 60 seconds.

Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the most successful actresses of all time. Her credits range from Freaky Friday, to Scream Queens, to Everything Everywhere All At Once. Curtis is also set to star in another film in the Halloween film series. She just shared a stunning old photo on her Instagram. In it, she posed in a zebra print one piece swimsuit. She captioned the post, “This just popped up.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jamie Lee Curtis 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’s Sober

Curtis is open about her past struggles with addiction, and how she got sober. "I'm breaking the cycle that has basically destroyed the lives of generations in my family," she told People. "Getting sober remains my single greatest accomplishment … bigger than my husband, bigger than both of my children, and bigger than any work, success, failure. Anything."

2. She Doesn’t Get Plastic Surgery

Curtis doesn’t believe in plastic surgery, and she has a good reason. "I tried plastic surgery and it didn't work," she told Fast Company. "It got me addicted to Vicodin. I'm 22 years sober now. The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty. Once you mess with your face, you can't get it back."

3. She Buys Affordable Skincare Products

Curtis opened up about her favorite skincare products to Today. She says that she opts for cheaper products, as she thinks they are more effective. “I spent $800 on a big jar of a cream. It didn’t do anything! It doesn’t do anything! The truth of the matter is, it doesn’t do anything for you. It’s a scam to make money."

4. She Isn’t Worried About Aging

When it comes to aging, Curtis isn’t worried about it. In an interview with Prevention, she encouraged others to have the same mindset. "This word 'anti-aging' has to be struck. I am pro-aging. I want to age with intelligence and grace and dignity and verve and energy."

5. She’s Less Image Conscious

In her role in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, Curtis decided to take a different approach. She opened up about her process, and how it helped her in this Instagram post. “In the world, there is an industry — a billion-dollar, trillion-dollar industry — about hiding things,” she wrote. “Concealers. Body-shapers. Fillers. Procedures. Clothing. Hair accessories. Hair products. Everything to conceal the reality of who we are. And my instruction to everybody was: I want there to be no concealing of anything. I've been sucking my stomach in since I was 11, when you start being conscious of boys and bodies, and the jeans are super tight. I very specifically decided to relinquish and release every muscle I had that I used to clench to hide the reality. That was my goal. I have never felt more free creatively and physically.”

6. Single Leg Squats Into Deficit Lunges

Jessica.Beil.5Jessica Beil/Instagram

“What better way to celebrate than by doing single leg squats into deficit lunges. That’s a real party if you ask me,” Bruno wrote about the exercise Jess can be seen doing in the clip. “I’ll tell you guys what it’s really like to train Jess. I’ll think up some obscenely hard exercise in hopes of actually challenging her and then show her one shaky demo (these are really hard!). She’ll then proceed to knock out 3-4 sets with better form than me while smiling and singing @justintimberlake new song. In between sets she’ll field questions from her kids or help them with their form if they’re working out with her, and then at the end when I tell her she did a good job, she’ll go ‘was that good?’ Like, she doesn’t even know that what she did was hard. Yes Jess, it’s VERY good. Show her some love on her special day because she’s a real badass.”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
