Jennifer Love Hewitt in Workout Gear Talks to the "Strong, Silent Type"

Jennifer Love Hewitt is hitting the gym in her workout gear. In a new social media post the 9-1-1 star shows off her amazing body as she steps into the gym for a session with her personal trainer. How does the former teen star, now 45, stay in shape? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Switching Up Workouts

In a 2013 interview with OK! Magazine, Hewitt discussed her approach to exercise. "I try to switch it up a bit. I've found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing,” she said. "The best trick for me right now is to constantly shock my body into different things. So I never do one thing all week,” she added to Extra.

Hewitt is a fan of dance fitness, she revealed to OK! Magazine. "I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house." 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.

3. Strength Training and Boxing

The actress works out with Leyon Azubuike. Most of their sessions consist of boxing and strength training. “I do a day of push ups and abs,” she reveals. 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

4. Workout Classes

Jennifer loves trying out new workout methods and taking classes. I've done this fluidity workout, which is sort of like a cardio bar thing,” she told Extra TV.

5. Running

She also makes sure to get her cardio in. “I do a little bit of running on the treadmill,” she added. 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.

6. Cycling

Another form of cardio you might find Jennifer doing? “I'll do some riding on bikes,” she says. 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.

7. Yoga and Pilates

Yoga and Pilates are two other workouts that Jennifer enjoys. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

‘90s teen queen Melissa Joan Hart is killing it at the gym—and the results speak for themselves. Hart, 48, shared a video of herself wearing green pants and a black tank top, lifting weights at the gym. “Getting stronger every day feels amazing! Hit a goal at @bft_brentwood in my military barbell press! 5 reps at 75lbs. Woohoo!!” she captioned the inspiring post. “Dang!!! 75lbs you go!!! I’m not there yet but working on it 👊🏼” commented Candace Cameron Bure. Hart is getting fitter and stronger with every year that passes—here’s how she does it.

1. Social Workouts

Hart loves working out with friends and family. "I make it a social event,” she told Us Weekly. “I chitchat with friends on walks or run with my husband," Hart reveals of her fitness routine. "It's so nice not to be busting out of things or having to wear undergarments to keep things in. I feel good!"

2. Busy Moms Relate

Hart says she has less time for self-care as a middle-aged busy mom. “During the Sabrina years, I had a lot of time for self care, and now I’m trying to squeeze it in,” she told New Beauty. “But it’s funny because I also wore a lot more makeup back then and it was every day, so I think my face care routine has actually gotten simpler over the years. It used to be so complex. I also used to work out diligently when I had the time. Then that went away. I’m back on a great workout program now, though.”

3. She’s a Bookworm

Hart loves to read. “I’m reading two because we recently moved and I haven’t been able to finish them up. ‘The Great Alone’ by Kristin Hannah is about a family who moves to Alaska,” she told Apartment Therapy. “She has a book called ‘The Nightingale’ and I’m obsessed with her writing, it’s so descriptive. My husband and I are also reading ‘The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work,’ it’s really helpful when you’ve been married a long time to rethink how you see each other.”

4. Fan Support

Hart loves the support she gets from her fan base, especially in relation to weight fluctuations and aging. “There’s this nice thing about people that have grown up with me,” she told New Beauty. “While they don’t want me to be older—they all freaked out when I was playing a grandma in a movie last year—they don’t want me to get older because it means they’re older, but they’re still nice to me. I think they’re about it because they’re going through it. It’s relatable. I think everyone else is going through the same things, whether it’s perimenopause or starting to head towards menopause if you grew up at the same time as me. It’s an interesting experiment.”

5. Advice For Younger Generation

Hart says if she could give her sons one piece of wisdom, it’s to be fearless. “Learning to be okay with yourself is huge because then what you think about yourself won’t be dependent on how other people feel about you,” she told New Beauty. I feel like it’s common, especially growing up in the arts, for kids to need validation, but if you’re comfortable with yourself and comfortable in your own skin, you won’t need all that. And just be nice to people. Even if they’re not nice to you back, if you’re nice to people nothing else matters.”

Jesscia Szohr is an actress. She’s best known for her roles in Gossip Girl and The Orville. Szohr shared a gym video on Instagram this month. In it, she is seen lifting weights, doing Russian twists, and doing toe touches. She captioned the post, “I’m no pro at working out…need to straighten my legs more and get deeper in a squat. But at least I’m out here trying. I don’t love the gym or weights but I love how I feel after! Okay- have a great Tuesday.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jessica Szohr stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Uses Weights

Szohr weight trains, as you can see in her Instagram post. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls.”

2. She Does Core Workouts

Szohr also does core workouts, as you can see in her Instagram post. Having a strong core has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states that good balance is one of them. “Your core stabilizes your body, allowing you to move in any direction, even on the bumpiest terrain, or stand in one spot without losing your balance. Viewed this way, core exercises can lessen your risk of falling.”

3. She Does Pilates

Szohr likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing exercises and stretches on a reformer. Szohr captioned the post, “Exercise = Extra Fries… right?” Better Health states that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pilates (or the Pilates method) is a series of exercises inspired by calisthenics, yoga and ballet. Pilates promotes mobility and strength of all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion, whilst also having a key focus on the deep core muscles. It improves posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.”

4. She Hikes

Szohr shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis.”

5. She Zip Lines

Szohr likes to zip line. In 2022, she shared these photos and a video on Instagram of her family on a ropes course. She captioned the post, “If I can’t make it to Times Square, I’ll just climb trees and zip line with my family! Sending my heart and sweat to all the New Yorkers showing up to workout at @festivalofny with my friends @theparisberelc & @rjathayde from @phantomfit.”
