Jen Lilley in Workout Gear Practices a "Waltz" 

Jen Lilley is a very successful actress. She’s best known for starring in Hallmark Channel movies. Lilley is currently filming a Christmas movie for the network, and shared a video of herself doing so on Instagram. In it, she is seen learning how to waltz. Lilley captioned the post, “Save the date! A Paris Christmas Waltz premieres Nov 19 at 8 PM/7c on @gactv. And yes we got an interim agreement! Because we need to show the major studios that actors can work and thrive without the studio system.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jen Lilley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Doesn’t Compare Herself To Others

Lilley shared some of her parenting advice in an interview with Parade. “No one's a perfect mom,” she says. “Don’t go through Instagram and compare yourself to people because we're obviously generally going to post our best moments. And sometimes I like to post really low moments for people to keep it real.”

2. She Has Balance

Lilley talked about finding a work-life balance to Parade. “It’s hard to balance it all but I feel like the quality time does make up for quantity time. If you just really focus on your kid and you're present, you're not on your phone when you're with them, they don't remember the times that you weren't there.”

3. She Makes Working Out A Priority

Lilley talked about making time for herself with Parade. She says that she makes exercise her self-care and a major priority. “I need to exercise because that is part of the job, that you stay fit cause you’re on camera. So I will prioritize hiking with a girlfriend, which is emotional care as well because you're swapping stories and laughing and then having real talk. But you're also exercising at the same time. So for me, it’s finding ways for me to look at things that aren't just self-care.”

4. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lilley shared her wellness secrets in an interview with Celebrity Sweat. She says that she does a lot of different exercises to keep herself in shape. “For my exercise, I do a lot of free weights, free weights, and walking. I mean I wish I did more but when you're on a soap there's no time.” Harvard Health states, “Exercise is key to good health. But we tend to limit ourselves to one or two types of activity. People do what they enjoy, or what feels the most effective, so some aspects of exercise and fitness may be ignored. In reality, we should all be doing aerobics, stretching, strengthening, and balance exercises.”

5. She Stays Hydrated

Lilley tells Celebrity Sweat that she makes sure to stay hydrated. "I do drink a lot of water. I think that's key to your hair looking good, your skin looking good, and overall wellness.” Harvard Health states, “Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.”

Jill Wagner is an actress and TV host. She was one of the hosts on the ABC version of Wipeout. Wagner also appeared in the TV series, Lioness, and in Hallmark movies. Wagner shared a workout photo on Instagram last month. In it, she wore a black tank top and hat, and carried weights. She captioned the post, “Thank you to my friend and coach @everydaywithshay for pushing me and my body to stay strong !!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jill Wagner stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Hard

Wagner shares a lot of her fitness journey on Facebook. In this post, she talked about the importance of working hard in the gym. “Some of you ask me why I am pushing myself so hard in the gym. Here’s the reason why. I am an actor. It is my job to portray a character to the best of my ability. I have the opportunity of a lifetime coming up next year with my project ‘Lioness’. I believe that I have a lot to prove to the people running the show. I am not a major famous actor that can just walk in the room and impress people with my credits. I feel as if I need to work harder to show the people in charge that I want this and I am serious about the role that I’ve been given. I also believe that there is no luck in life and it all amounts to being prepared when you have the opportunity thrown your way. I am not about to let this moment in time slide by without giving it 100% of my effort. I realize I just had a baby and I am going about this in the safest way I know how. But I also believe that as a mother you don’t have to give up who you are and what your dreams are just because you have children. I want to be an example for my girls to let them know that anything is possible if you’re willing to bust your ass to get it.”

2. She Does Pull-Ups

A workout that Wagner likes to do is pull-ups. She shared this video on Facebook of herself doing pull-ups at the gym. Wagner captioned the post, “4 pull ups may not seem like a lot , but for me it’s a huge accomplishment. When @everydaywithshay and I began Operation Lioness I couldn’t do one pull up . I am stronger not only physically but mentally . Thank you @everydaywithshay for pushing me to be my best self!”

3. She Does Lunges

Wagner shared some of her favorite exercises in an interview with SELF. She revealed that she loves to do lunges. ACE Fitness states that lunges are a great workout. “They’re a form of unilateral training, which means you’re working only one limb or side of the body at a time. And unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

4. She Does Push-Ups

In her SELF interview, Wagner revealed that she does push-ups. Harvard Health states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “The push-up engages your body from top to bottom. It works several muscle groups at once: the arms, chest, abdomen (core), hips, and legs. Push-ups also can be modified as needed. ‘By adjusting the speed you perform a push-up, the angle of your body, and even hand placement, you can add more or less intensity, or focus on specific muscles,’ says Dr. Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.”

5. She Works With A Trainer

As you can see in her Instagram post, Wagner works with a personal trainer. ACE Fitness states that this has a lot of health benefits. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them.”

1. Dance-Based Workouts

Slater’s workouts are, unsurprisingly, dance-based. “I love to do workouts such as bar method training, which is the perfect mix of Pilates, dance and cardio for me,” she told New Beauty. “While the DWTS tour is happening, we get a lot of cardio in just by doing the show, but all the female dancers usually still went to the gym together during the day. I like to do leg lifts out to the side and behind me, alternating each leg. To mix it up, you can add some push-ups in between changing sides so you can get a more complete workout. Planking is the best for a strong core!”

2. Water and Warm Ups

Slater stays hydrated and always stretches before and after her workouts. “I try to drink lots of water; it’s such a key element to staying healthy and active,” she told New Beauty. My football legend celebrity partner Rashad Jennings took over our daily warm-ups and we did lots of hamstring stretches through a series of drills over a 20-yard stretch. I also needed to warm my neck up a lot too because I am most prone to tight shoulders and neck twinges!”

3. Rest and Recovery

Slater is careful to allow the right amount of time for recovery after dancing. “It’s hard to maintain an injury-free body when you are doing that amount of dancing,” she told Richmond Family Magazine. “We travel with a physical therapist, Sandra. She warms us up, provides us with ice packs and stretches us out. She works on any injuries or stress on our bodies.”

4. Movie Dreams

Slater would love to make more movies. “I definitely would love to act even a little bit more and put my foot into the door there,” she told Nicki Swift. “I feel like dancing and acting are so closely linked in the sense it's a form of expression, and that's probably why I became a dancer. I wanted to be an actress first so doing Mamma Mia! was so fun for me, getting to work with Meryl Streep.”

5. Hair On Set

Slater is thrilled with how the beauty department on set takes care of her and develops amazing new looks. “The hair department at DWTS is no joke!” she told New Beauty. “They seriously have everything you can think of that involves hair. Hair pieces, products, heat tools, nets, accessories, wigs and the list goes on. One of my favorite looks was a dreadlock look that I did while dancing a mambo with Tommy Chong. Mary who is the head of the hair department added blond dreadlock clips to my hair and crimped my natural hair in between it for a really voluminous ‘Islander’ effect. I loved it!”

Kelly Burglund is recreating a movie scene – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the actress shows off her figure in exercise clothes while recreating an iconic movie moment from 10 Things I Hate About You with her boyfriend. “0 things I hate about you ♥️,” she writes in the caption. “Cute,” commented one of her followers. How does the Heels star approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Prior to Heels, She Was a “SoulCycler”

Berglund discussed her physical transformation for Heels with SheKnows. Prior to shooting she had a dance and gymnastics background and enjoyed spin classes. “I go to SoulCycle and that’s about it!” she told her trainer for the show. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

2. Three Hours of Training Per Night

To get in shape prior to shooting, Berglund spent three hours a night wrestling. Then, for season two, she amped it up even more. “​​I trained for five months going into season two, because Crystal is much more of a wrestler now. I wanted to bulk up and look more like a wrestler,” she added to The Hollywood Reporter.

3. Bulking and Cutting

Much like real wrestlers, Berglund bulked and cut. “So I was eating a pretty strict bulking diet of lots of protein, and then cutting closer to when we were filming the show, I was training for about three hours a day, five days a week. And that continued on as we started filming in Atlanta. They built us another gym like they did in season one, and we were in there on all of our off days with the stunt team. Even the cast that aren’t wrestlers were coming into the gym; it became this community. So it was extremely difficult, but I’m so proud of myself for getting through it. And in watching the second season, I’m grateful that it comes across,” she told THR.

4. Ice Baths

Kelli cools down with ice baths. “Thank you for having us @denmotherwellness 🌿 pure bliss is fighting for your life in an ice bath together,” she captioned a recent post. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

5. Dance

Kelli also blasts calories via dance. “I take dance classes (when I can) in my free time… it’s still such a love of mine, plus, it’s a great workout!” Kelli told Naluda. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but 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 heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
