Jennie Garth in Workout Gear is "Fit at 50" Doing Full-Body Workout

Jennie Garth is working out with her daughter Lola – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the Beverly Hills, 90210 star flaunts her fit at 50 figure during an intense strength training session. “Who needs some motivation today? I know I did this morning! My daughter, Lola, joined me… Do you think she’s still sure I should be working out at 7am? 🤣Jokes aside, I’m so happy I got this workout in. It’s my favorite way to re-energize during the week💕What’s your fav time of day to workout?” she captioned the post.

1. Plant-Based Diet

Jennie tries to fill her diet with produce. "My diet is in large part plant-based," Garth told The Beet. "I load up on berries, vegetables and lots of salad.”

Garth explained exactly what she eats in a day to The Beet. “I eat oats in almond milk, and add almond slivers, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds on top. But I eat the oats right after I pour the oat milk on them, even before they are softened. I love the crunch of it,” she said about her breakfast. For lunch she usually has a salad. “On a day when I am eating well, everything I can find goes into my salad: Avocado, tomatoes, nuts, and for sweetness, I like to add green apple into the mix,” she said. And, for dinner? “We love Mexican food in our house, and though it's not the healthiest, you can make a taco with lots of vegetables. I love the vegan cheese, and I'll make a tortilla with vegan cheese, like Daiya, which is my current favorite!”

3. Stretching

Jennie does “a lot of stretching,” she told The Beet. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

4. Golf

Jennie is also a golfer. “I also love to get outside any chance I get, and right now I am into golf!” Garth told The Beet. “It's a great activity both mentally and physically because you can walk the course. It keeps me sharp too since you really have to focus. But mostly I love it because it's a way to spend time in nature and see beautiful vistas and trees. And there is a lot of walking involved!” A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

5. Strength Training

In her recent post, Jennie does a number of strength training exercises. They included lunges, dips, rows, and a number of arm weight exercises. 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

Jennie Garth is best known, and forever beloved, for her role as Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills, 90210. She would reprise her role in the sequel series, 90210. Garth and her castmates would reunite in BH 90210, a satirical comedy inspired by their lives. She also played Val Tyler on What I Like About You. Last month, Garth shared a video of herself working out with her trainer on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Recently my workouts have been the main thing keeping me grounded. Movement always allows me to reset my mind while taking care of my body. A good workout always clears my head!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jennie Garth stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Strength Trains

Garth is also seen using hand weights to do bicep curls to a shoulder press and twists with a press in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

2. She Does Lunges

In her Instagram video, Garth is seen doing lunges with her trainer. ACE Fitness states that lunges have a lot of benefits. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”

3. She Does TRX

Garth shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing TRX workouts. Garth captioned the post, “Happy Monday! Here’s some Monday motivation for you. It can be hard to push yourself sometimes, so if you need a helping hand, here you are. 😘Let’s get it!” The YMCA of Greater Whittier says TRX has a lot of benefits. “Unlike some workouts that target specific muscle groups, TRX engages the entire body. From core-stabilizing exercises to upper and lower body movements, TRX ensures a comprehensive workout in every session.”

4. She Uses The Elliptical

In the previous Instagram post, Garth is seen on the elliptical. The Hospital for Special Surgery states that the elliptical has a lot of benefits. “Elliptical machines are a bit like the Swiss Army knives of the gym. The forward-and-back motion of their pedals simulates walking or jogging, while the up-down movement is akin to a stair climber. Meanwhile, the arm attachments provide the arms, chest and shoulders with a muscle-building workout.”

5. She Makes Time For Herself

Garth is all about self-care. She talked about this in the caption of the Instagram post. “When I don’t have time to get to a workout I’ll always try to do some kinda self care to shake any stress off,” she wrote. “Like going for a walk, hanging out with my girls or simply trying to do nothing (harder than it sounds). 😩 What does self care look like for you?”

1. Plant-Based Diet

Garth enjoys a mostly plant-based diet. “There are so many non-meat, non-dairy options available nowadays,” she told Future of Personal Health. “You can get plant-based butter at most grocery stores now, and milk alternatives, like oat, almond, and cashew to name a few. Even if you don’t think you’ll like the taste, try it. You might be surprised.”

2. Protecting Her Heart

Garth is especially concerned about health and wellness as her father had his first heart attack at just 37. “Not only did it drastically change my life circumstances, it educated me to the seriousness of the disease and the impact it has on not just the individual, but the whole family,” she told Future of Personal Health.

3. Return of 90s Fashion

Garth is thrilled 90s fashion is back in vogue. “I love high-waisted jeans, and I’m glad they’re back. I never let go of maxi dresses or babydoll dresses with combat boots” she told First For Women. “That’s another favorite look of mine. Beverly Hills, 90210 was one of the first times we really saw young women wearing menswear-inspired outfits. There were lots of blazers and vests, and I love that, too.”

4. Confidence In Her 50s

Garth says she is not the same person she used to be. “I’m much more patient and more thoughtful,” she told First For Women. “I try to control how I say things a lot more than I used to. I think every decade of a woman’s life represents something different, and turning 50 really gave me confidence in myself. It’s not about how I look. It’s more of an internal confidence that goes with me wherever I go. It’s not that I don’t care as much what other people think, I just don’t put so much weight on it.”

5. Be Your Own Advocate

Garth makes sure to get herself checked out every year and encourages others to do the same. “So often insurance doesn’t cover these kinds of exploratory visits,” she told Future of Personal Health. “But trust me: If you are predisposed — if heart disease runs in your family or your numbers are high — it is worth it to seek out a cardiologist near you and get checked out. The fact is, you have one life, one body, one heart. So take care of it. Care enough about yourself and the people you love to take your own health seriously and be your own best advocate.”

Jennie Finch is throwing pitches in her workout gear. In a new social media post the former softball player proves that she still has got a winning pitch – and a fit figure – wearing exercise clothes as she plays. “Jennie is a legend!! 🙌” commented MLB. “Imagine hitting BP off Jennie Finch,” added another follower. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Keeps Moving

“There’s nothing better than working up a good sweat,” Finch told CNN. “I make time to keep active. I know how important it is to keep moving.” While transformations don’t happen overnight, it’s “all about starting,” she says. “You know, baby steps. It’s not going to be about instant gratification that we want, that we’re used to in this day and age. But it is about the process and the journey and just making those subtle changes. Parking a little further. Walking up the stairs. Those little things that can help and get you kick-started. I saw something recently that was like, as long as you’re moving, you’re better off than being on the couch. No matter what pace you’re at. You’re not going to get off the couch and be at some amazing fast pace or burn crazy amounts of calories but you have to start somewhere. … Eventually you’ll get there. We all have excuses but leave those excuses at the door. If you want it bad enough, go for it. Life’s too short not to.”

2. Mental Toughness

Jennie ran a marathon four months after having her second son, which she chalks up to “mental toughness,” she told CNN. “So much of it is between your own ears and fighting that doubt. We will always have that doubt, but that’s what keeps us on edge and keeps us working harder,” she explained. “Preparation builds the confidence to overcome that doubt, but I don’t think you truly do ever overcome it, or I never did. Even up to mile 25 it was like, ‘Can I go another mile?’ It’s like, ‘Yes, I can.’ [It’s] that internal battle that you have to keep fighting and winning.”

3. Balanced Diet

When it comes to diet, “I’m all about balance. Nothing extreme,” says Jennie. “I live in Louisiana so we eat; we’re surrounded by way too much good food. So I kind of work out to eat. But like I said it’s all about balance. It’s not like I never have dessert, I just try to eat it in moderation and make my workouts so I can eat what I want and enjoy it.”

4. Exercising with Her Kids

Jennie breaks a sweat with her kids. “Having two little boys, it’s easy to keep moving. A lot of times it’s not going to the gym [and] getting in an hour of cardio. A lot of times it’s just me being outside, playing with my boys, jumping on the trampoline. Whatever it takes to get me moving and my heart rate pumping,” she tells CNN.

5. Running, Yoga, Pilates, Martial Arts

“My workouts I like to mix it up,” says Jennie. “I have met an incredible running group that has helped me tremendously – social time for me, fellowship and just an escape from everything. I put in workout DVDs, whether it’s yoga, pilates, tae bo even – my old school ones. I love getting outside with my boys. I lift weights every now and then.”

1. Weight Training

Garth lost 30 pounds after turning 41 and realizing she was unhappy with her health and physique. The actress combined intense workouts with a clean diet to lose the weight and keep it off. "I've been working out really hard," Garth told Health. "I've been weight training with a trainer three days a week… I really never sit down. I mean, that's basically the secret. It's just not sitting around."

2. Clean Diet

Garth enjoys a nutritious plant-based diet. “[For breakfast] I eat oats in almond milk, and add almond slivers, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds on top,” she tells The Beet. “But I eat the oats right after I pour the oat milk on them, even before they are softened. I love the crunch of it. [For lunch] a salad. On a day when I am eating well, everything I can find goes into my salad: Avocado, tomatoes, nuts, and for sweetness, I like to add green apple into the mix. We love Mexican food in our house, and though it's not the healthiest, you can make a taco with lots of vegetables. I love the vegan cheese, and I'll make a tortilla with vegan cheese, like Daiya, which is my current favorite!

3. She Plays Golf

Garth is an enthusiastic and accomplished golfer. “For exercise, I do a lot of stretching. I also love to get outside any chance I get, and right now I am into golf!” she tells The Beet. “It's a great activity both mentally and physically because you can walk the course. It keeps me sharp too since you really have to focus. But mostly I love it because it's a way to spend time in nature and see beautiful vistas and trees. And there is a lot of walking involved!”

4. Healthy Habits

Garth’s weight loss regimen is rooted in common sense and good habits. "I'm just taking care of myself. Eating less, exercising more, drinking a lot of coconut water," she told PEOPLE. "I eat a lot of Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt in the morning, salads and proteins the rest of the day and maybe a cupcake if I've been a good girl."

5. Arthritis Gel

Arthritis runs in Garth’s family, which is why she was happy to partner with Voltaren Arthritis Pain Gel. “I always knew that arthritis ran in my family, so it was something that was kind of on my radar,” she tells New Beauty. “I started to feel some stiffness in my hips and knees and I wanted to ignore the signs; I associated it with getting older and I wasn’t interested in that. The reality is, I am getting older, I am aging and things are starting to happen.”
