Here’s how she stays in shape.

Jessica Biel has long been known for her sculpted physique, and she doesn’t rely on trendy fads to stay in shape. The actress, who rose to fame on 7th Heaven and later wowed audiences in The Sinner and Candy, prioritizes sustainable fitness habits over quick fixes. Her approach focuses on strength, flexibility, and mobility—ensuring she stays toned while avoiding injury.
One of Biel’s go-to core moves comes straight from her Pilates routine, a practice she swears by for maintaining a strong midsection. She recently gave fans a peek into her workout on Instagram, showing off a controlled, challenging movement designed to engage her abs and improve overall stability. Alongside Pilates, Biel mixes in bodyweight exercises, yoga, and mobility work, proving that a balanced, mindful approach to fitness delivers long-lasting results.


She Does Pilates

Biel shared a video on Instagram of herself doing Pilates. According to Better Health, these exercises have a lot of benefits. “In Pilates, your muscles are rarely worked to the point of exhaustion, so there is not always sweating or straining, just intense concentration. The workout consists of a variety of exercise sequences that are performed in low repetitions, usually five to ten times, over a session of 45 to 90 minutes. Floor based exercises performed on a mat and specialised equipment for resistance are often used. The Pilates method is taught to suit each person and exercises are regularly re-evaluated to ensure they are appropriate for that person. Due to the individual attention, this method can suit everybody from elite athletes to people with limited mobility, pregnant women and people with low fitness levels.”

She Does Mobility Workouts

Biel opened up about her favorite workouts in an interview with Women’s Health. She says that she is focusing on mobility, as opposed to weight training. "When I was in my twenties, it was important to me how much I could bench press and how ripped my shoulders are, and all that stuff is less important to me now," she shared. "What's important to me now is mobility. I don't want to be living with pain."

She Does Bodyweight Exercises

Biel tells Women’s Health that she loves doing bodyweight exercises. "We're just thinking about moving fluids through your body to get everything taut and lean and strong," she explained. "If I get sore and swell, it takes me a couple of days to come back down, and then your clothes are just fitting a different way because you're retaining lactic acid. [Those exercises] are meant to not make me too sore."

She Eats A Lot Of Vegetables

Biel makes sure that she and her family eat healthily. She tells Women’s Health that she eats a lot of vegetables. "We were talking about it yesterday and Justin said, 'Do our kids need to eat more vegetables?' I was like, 'Yeah, but everybody kind of needs to eat more vegetables! Everyone in the whole world.'"

She Loves Yoga

Biel loves to do yoga to keep herself in shape. She tells Women’s Health, "I was searching for my identity as a person, and what defines me. And yoga became a space where I can really touch back into myself and my spirituality. To me it’s not a 'competition' class. It was part of a community, which is something I loved."

She Works Out With Others

When Biel hits the gym, she often doesn’t go alone. She tells Women’s Health, "I love working out with friends, and partners, and my husband—it’s so much more fun to do it with someone else, you feel like you have a partner in crime, and you’re not there alone."

She Works With A Trainer

Biel likes to work with a trainer to help herself stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a workout that her trainer gave her. Biel captioned it, “In the gym with @benbrunotraining… and some other guy who won’t stop distracting me!! 😅 Anyway. Ben just launched the coolest / easiest new program to help people get back on track in 2023 - eating healthier, getting stronger - it’s so thorough… cannot recommend it enough. 🥇”

Jessica does everything from calming, strengthening yoga to hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro to bring attention to the global water crisis. Regardless of what exercise she’s prioritizing at the moment, the actress puts her athleticism first according to her interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I did a lot of walking with a 30-pound backpack on an incline. I also tried to spend as much time in altitude as I possibly could, which was really key. Altitude really affects you in weird ways.”

2. Healthy Habits Were Ingrained at a Young Age

Her love of sports came as she was growing up when she did gymnastics, soccer, dance, and more. She even partially owes her relaxed demeanor in front of the camera to being comfortable in her own skin and gaining confidence through sports as a child. “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.

3. A Body in Motion Stays in Motion

Jessica is always in motion, from her workouts, to floor exercises like headstands and squats, to hiking in Hollywood with her family. The Fitness Reaper broke down her routine, and if she’s not working out, she’s doing fun, but active, activities with friends or family, running to appointments, and outside moving around. She’s training using different cardio techniques involving high intensity interval training, squats, jumps, and more drills to chisel her body.

4. She Focuses on a Wide Variety of Workouts

“Yoga’s not about competition,”Jessica said. “And I think so many of these fitness routines that we love, like classes, whether it’s on a bike or it’s a circuit thing, or whatever it is, I feel like you’re always kind of being compared to your neighbor, like ‘Come on! Let’s do it!’ and everyone’s yelling at you or screaming at you, and that’s great, and that’s fun sometimes. But when you’re on your mat, it’s you, and that’s it.” With yoga, she also adds in some resistance training to build up strength and balance.

5. She Lives an Active Lifestyle

More times than not when you read about the stars and their fitness habits, it’s a grueling process. For Jessica, it is really a way of life that she actually enjoys doing. In addition to running and circuit strength training, Jessica prioritizes fun games with her friends like beach volleyball or even football as a way to stay active and socialize.

Jessica Biel is wishing husband Justin Timberlake a very sweet happy 43rd birthday on social media. Biel, 41, posted an Instagram video reel of herself and Timberlake sharing sweet moments together, including one of them in exercise clothing, working out as a duo. Or at least, Biel was working out, Timberlake was doing a silly dance. “I ALWAYS got you. Happy birthday, babe,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Biel approaches wellness and fitness in her 40s.


1. Boring Is Good

Biel’s wellness routine is what she calls “boring”—which means it’s straightforward and, more importantly, it works for her. "For me, getting enough sleep, drinking lots of water, having a healthy diet, and staying away from alcohol are musts. It's so boring, I know, but doing those things really helps,” she told ELLE.

2. Growing Her Own Produce

Biel makes salads from vegetables she grows herself. "We have a beautiful garden and go out all of the time, every couple of days, pick spinach and pick radishes and things and throw them together in a salad and it’s wonderful,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “That’s probably one of the coolest things I think about living in California is that we can really grow all year long. If I’m home for lunch, I run out to the garden and grab some leaves and throw together a quick salad, maybe throw some quinoa in there or something."

3. No Wheat, No Dairy

Woman,Refusing,Or,Reject,Glass,Of,Milk,,Lactose,Intolerance,AndShutterstock

Biel enjoys a wheat and dairy-free diet. “I like these veggie burgers that you can get from Whole Foods or Erewhon and you can grill it up and throw it on top with some nuts… and then some kind of snack during the day – maybe gluten-free pretzels with this really yummy almond cheese dip,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “It almost tastes like cream cheese, but no dairy. 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. That would be a normal day for me.”

4. Killer Abs

Biel posted a video of her ab routine on social media, using a medicine ball to do mat exercises. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

5. Yoga and Volleyball

Biel has basic workouts that keep her going. "Yoga is a constant for me because it keeps my muscles long and flexible," she told ELLE. "But now that summer's coming around, I'm planning on spending more time outdoors playing volleyball and jogging with my dog, Tina."

Jessica Alba is turning 43 this April 28 and is quite possibly in the best shape of her life thanks to her longtime trainer, Ramona Braganza. In a new interview with Celebwell, Braganza, who has been training the Sin City star since she was 17, reveals the workout method responsible for her amazing figure and discusses how her workouts have evolved since she turned the big 4-oh.

Alba.1_2e920aJessica Alba/Instagram

Jessica sticks with Braganza’s 321 Training Method, created specifically for the actress. “I developed it when Jessica Alba and I were shooting many films on location so I needed something effective, requiring minimal equipment, flexible whether you have 20 minutes, half an hour, or a full hour to train,” she tells Celebwell.

2. Three Cardio Exercises

Alba.5Jessica Alba/Instagram

The workout starts with three cardio exercises. “An example of cardio could be either treadmill, spinning, or dance.

3. Two Circuits

Alba.2_1eaec7Jessica Alba/Instagram

Next up, the 2, which translates to two circuits. “Usually it’s three in a row exercises that train specific body parts on different days,” Braganza tells us.

4. One Part Core

Then, one part core. “Twisting moves target obliques and transverse, the muscle that cinches in the waist,” are an exercise that Jess demonstrates in a recent workout video.

5. Jessica Also Meditates Before and After Workouts

Braganza also reveals that her sessions with Jess have evolved over time. “Our workouts have become more of a mind body spirit evolution as Jess is now in her 40s which includes meditation before we train that raises our vibrations to give us a positive mindset and finishes with a gratitude meditation,” she says.

6. See the Workout Here

“Long before there was Orange Theory there was the 321Training method a program I designed that had 3 intervals of cardio , 2 circuits of strength training and finished with 1 core at the end,” Braganza adds in a recent Instagram video with Jess demonstrating the moves. . “It was a workout I based on my clients needs to lose weight and build muscle tissue for shapely but lean bodies. I used this workout with @jessicaalba on the various films we worked on including Dark Angel, Into the Blue and Fantastic Four. The workout became a downloadable program offering a variety of exercises that work effectively whether you have 20 minutes half an hour or an hour.”

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.

Jena Sims Koepka is working on her core – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the golf wife shows off her strength and amazing body during an exercise circuit. “Cove + Core + Pulling,” she captioned the Instagram video, demonstrating every move in the video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what is her core workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. F45 Workouts

Kirkland,Washington,,August,12,,2019.,Kettlebells,Are,Lined,Up,InShutterstock

Jena is a fan of a popular workout method. “My favorite type of workout is F45,” she told FOX. “It’s just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it’s so loud.”

2. Weight Lifting

“I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” continued Sims. “I want loud music, heavy weights. For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don’t need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial,” she told Fox. “I've been working on just upping my weights a little bit,” she added to Daily Mail. “I can get into this sweet spot and get kind of in a plateau of working out, so I upped my weights after seeing her video because I was so impressed by what she did with her fitness. I'm trying to lift heavier. Trying to build a booty.”

3. Clean Eating

To get in shape for her Sports Illustrated photoshoot, Jena didn’t diet, “ all I'm doing is just eating as clean as I can, but I'm still splurging,” she told Daily Mail. “Like, I had four dinner rolls last night at this charity event as well as my meal.”

4. Pure Barre

Jena also likes to “mix it up” when it comes to exercise. She loves Pure Barre classes, a fusion of yoga, Pilates, and ballet and a “full body, low impact workout” for everybody, according to the brand.

5. Here is Her Core Workout

Here is her latest workout, “such a good series to work the pull muscles and the ABS,” she says.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. 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.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, 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 or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

A vegan food that Romani enjoys is salad. She shared this Instagram story of herself enjoying a vegan cobb salad. Bupa states that salad is very beneficial. “Salads can contain several foods which are prebiotics. These are foods which act as fuel for healthy bacteria. It also provides a type of indigestible fibre, which can be beneficial for your gut health. Foods to consider including in your salad can be onions, garlic, kale, carrots, and asparagus.”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
