Jessica Biel Matches Justin Timberlake in the Gym with These Fitness and Diet Secrets

Jessica Biel can do everything her husband, Justin Timberlake can do – in the gym. In a new social media post, the actress shows off her amazing body and impressive strength while pulling herself up while holding onto rings. “Ok now ladies…” Timberlake captioned the Instagram video. “This is basically the black belt version of working out 💪” commented the couple’s trainer, Ben Bruno. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Is a Fan of the Workout Buddy System

As can be evidence in her latest post, Jessica’s husband is her workout buddy. “Please excuse the photobomb from @justintimberlake while @jessicabiel casually knocks out a super-impressive set of single leg squats,” Bruno captioned a video of the two exercising together. “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.”

2. She Does Yoga

Jessica has been doing yoga for many years. She initially got into it “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. Here is why you should try yoga, says Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

3. She Hikes

Jessica is all about hiking and mountain climbing.. She once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. "I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me,” she told Glamour about the experience. “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.” The National Parks Service explains that the physical benefits of hiking include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.

4. No Gluten, Wheat, Dairy

Jessica is “not all-out anything" with her diet, but she does avoid a few things. "Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she told Los Angeles Times. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy."

5. Paleo Pancakes and Protein

Jessica starts her day with Paleo pancakes “with some cashew or almond butter on top with some local honey,” and some protein. “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.
