It’s hard to believe that Kerry Washington is celebrating her 48th birthday on January 31. The star has been in the public eye since her breakout role as Chenille Reynolds in the 2001 film Save the Last Dance but hasn’t seemed to age much in the 24 years since. What is her secret to looking and feeling young? Here are her top secrets for longevity. 

                Exercise

Kerry exercises a lot, mixing up her workouts. “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” she told ELLE. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” she added to Women’s Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.” Kerry added to Allure that she doesn’t view exercise as a chore. “I love to work out. It’s really important to me; it’s part of the culture of my family,” she said. She also loves SoulCycle, yoga, Peloton classes, dance classes, Gyrotonic training, and the elliptical machine. “I do different things, but I’m most obsessed with water aerobics,” she said. “Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.”

                Balanced Diet

Kerry has a healthy and balanced approach to food. “In general in life I try to live it, not diet,” she told People. “I think that’s hard when you’re restricting a lot. So I try to take it easy on a daily basis and do what’s going to make me feel good.” Nonna Gleyzer, one of her Pilates trainers, revealed to Shape that the actress “has always been an extremely healthy eater” and “eats a lot of vegan products, with little clean meals throughout the day.”

                Nutrient Dense Drinks

Kerry enjoys drinking her nutrients. She told ELLE that she is super into nutritionist Kim Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, packed with spinach, celery, lemon juice, cilantro, and more. “I try to keep it consistent year-round,” Washington said. Gleyzer added to Shape that she hydrates with coconut water. “She loves coconut water, which gives her potassium and important electrolytes. With the long hours she works, there’s really no room for her to play around. She needs to be in the best shape every single day, and she definitely is.”

                Hydration and Rest

“The things my mother always stressed were to drink a lot of water and get a lot of rest, which I used to roll my eyes at,” she told Oprah Magazine. “Now I think she’s a genius. Health and wellness really are the sources of beauty.”

                Keeping Alcohol to a Minimum

You won’t find the star drinking her calories in the form of alcohol. “I’m also not a drinker,” Kerry confessed Eto lle. “I love a drink occasionally, but I wouldn’t be able to handle it. You see one sip, but I have to drink three cups to get the scene done,” she said. “I tend to be a ‘when in Rome drinker.’ When I’m traveling, I drink what they have there or I’ll get a special cocktail.”

Kerry Washington is on a beautiful vacation in sunny Jamaica. Washington, 46, shared several pictures of herself from the trip, posing in a brown bathing suit with a bright crop top and long skirt on top of the bathing suit. “Jamaica, just the way you like it 🔥,” she captioned a snap of herself standing in front of a restaurant in Kingston. “Jamaica looks good on you 🔥,” commented a fan. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Washington stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. Pilates and Hiking
See on Instagram
Washington is passionate about the physical benefits of regular Pilates sessions with a trainer.  “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” she says. “I have a teacher named Julie Turner in LA and I've worked with her for years and she worked with me on Django. She works out with other girls on Scandal. I do juices and Kim Snyder's smoothies, but I try to keep it consistent year round.”
2. Dance Parties

Washington stays active even when she’s not at the gym, but she makes it fun for all the family. "Things are really busy for me right now, so making time for prayer, meditation is important," she says. "And also movement, for me. And that doesn't always mean like, pumping iron at the gym. I'm a real Pilates girl, I also love to train at the gym, but sometimes it's just going for a walk or having a dance party with the kids, just making sure that I'm moving my body."
3. Yoga Sessions

Washington has practiced yoga for years, even earning her yoga certification in India. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts,” according to Johns Hopkins Health. “Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”
4. SPF Every Day
See on Instagram
Washington never skips sun protection. “We wore SPF as kids, but I didn't really understand how important it was, and I didn't understand the importance of using a higher number, and the importance of reapplying, and really the importance of integrating it into every day,” she says. “We used SPF when we went to the beach, or if we were sitting at the pool as kids. But it has to be part of your daily defense, it has to be embedded into your daily rituals because skin cancer is preventable.”
5. Regular Exfoliation
See on Instagram
Washington is passionate about the health of her skin, especially as she has battled eczema in the past. “I've always understood the connection between science and skin. I've been seeing a dermatologist since I was six years old for eczema,” she says. “I really believe in exfoliating and I also use a red light for dealing with bacteria. I have one that I travel with. I really love [Neutrogena's] Visibly Even line because it smoothes skin with soy and prevents new spots with SPF.”

Unlock the secrets of ageless beauty as we delve into the skincare routines of 11 renowned stars. From Jennifer Lopez's radiant glow to Salma Hayek's unwavering commitment to cleansing, each celebrity reveals their unique approach to maintaining youthful skin. Halle Berry shares her love for a dewy complexion, while Sarah Jessica Parker emphasizes the importance of hydration. Kelly Ripa combines ancient face rolling techniques with a morning coffee ritual, while Gabrielle Union swears by the power of water. Join us as we explore the skincare rituals of Cindy Crawford, Padma Lakshmi, Kerry Washington, Nicole Kidman, and Tracee Ellis Ross. Uncover their timeless beauty secrets and discover your path to age-defying allure.
1. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is known for her ageless looks, and shared some of her secrets in an interview with InStyle. "My mom and aunts swear by olive oil to deliver a glow. The hero ingredient in JLo Beauty is a modernized version of olive oil, called the Olive Complex. It's a combination of ingredients derived from extra-virgin olive oil, fermented oil, leaf extract, and squalane. It gives the skin this weightless, all-day hydration, antioxidant protection, and an ageless radiance. And it doesn't smell like salad dressing
2. Salma Hayek

For Salma Hayek, skincare is a daily thing. "I've never gone to bed without washing my face,” she told InStyle. “Never in my life. Even if I'm sick, tired — heck, even if I was drunk! I might forget to take off the dress, the shoes, and the jewelry, but not the makeup. It's second nature."
3. Halle Berry

For Halle Berry, skincare is all about keeping her skin a little hydrated.  "No matter what age you are, you always look a little better when your skin is a little dewy, not too powdery,” she explained to InStyle. I went through phases where all I wanted to do was be matte and powdered up, but then I found it wasn't the best look for me. Before I do my makeup, I spray my face with rosewater and let that sink in. It keeps my makeup looking very dewy, and I feel like it just makes me look more youthful, alive, and fresh."
4. Sarah Jessica Parker

For Sarah Jessica Parker, skincare is all about hydration. "The thing I'm most diligent about is washing my face," she told InStyle. "I say to my husband, 'Oh, I'm so tired, Matthew! I don't want to wash my face.' He's like, 'Why do you need to?' He doesn't get it. I also always wear moisturizer and lip balm."
5. Kelly Ripa

TV host and actress, Kelly Ripa broke down her anti-aging secrets to InStyle. She says that each morning, she takes care of her skin. “My day starts around 5 a.m.," she says. "I'm way into jade and rose quartz face rollers, so I put them in a bowl of ice and literally sit there and roll my face until I'm awake. But there's nothing like a good cup of coffee."
6. Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union has become known for her amazing skin. She shared some of her tips in an interview with Byrdie. "I do drink a gallon of water a day. I started that in my mid to late 30s. So for a good 10 years, I've been drinking a gallon of water a day. It makes a difference for hair, skin, nails, all of it.”
7. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford has maintained her supermodel good looks into her 50s. She even had her own line of skincare. "It's never too early, and never too late, to start taking care of your skin,” Crawford told Byrdie. “Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh taught me the daytime is about protecting your skin and then the nighttime is about restoring it. I have learned that it's like working out. You work out once—you don't really see a big difference. But if you work out regularly for years, you do. I think skincare is the same way. So I've made taking care of my skin part of my routine.”
8. Padma Lakshmi

TV host Padma Lakshmi is surrounded by food. And this includes her skincare. “The biggest thing for skin, and it doesn't cost a lot of money, is honey,” she revealed to Byrdie. “When I used to travel and I didn't have a lot of money, I would always find honey on the breakfast tray at a hotel or something. You just wash and cleanse your skin, take all the makeup off, pat your skin dry, and then slather honey all over your face, avoiding the delicate eye area. And then you just tap your fingers on your face, almost like you're playing piano on your skin. And what that does is pull out the impurities in your pores without upsetting the pH balance.”
9. Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington shared some of her beauty secrets in an interview with Allure. She says that she loves products with hyaluronic acid, and cites a concealer and gel-cream from Neutrogena as favorites. “It has hyaluronic acid in the center,” she says of the concealer. “So when you use it, you’re moisturizing while you’re covering. It’s great for under-eyes and laugh lines. I have spots like anybody else, particularly from hormones from pregnancy and then nursing. I use concealer to help along the way while they’re fading.” Washington also explains about the gel-cream, “I love moisturizers that do double duty. This one contains hyaluronic acid. I haven’t put any [fillers] on the inside yet, but I’m digging hyaluronic acid on the outside. I think it’s God’s gift to women.”
10. Nicole Kidman

One of Nicole Kidman’s biggest skincare secrets is sun protection. “I’m so outdoorsy,” she told Byrdie. “I love playing tennis, and I love working out outdoors. I love going for a run and swimming, and I just want to be able to do all of that and protect my skin because I get burnt. So having the access to Neutrogena’s skincare and suncare is fantastic for me. And I know a lot about it because I’ve researched it; I’ve been educated; I have enormous knowledge about it now. I use vitamin C too because that does give you some protection long-term.”
11. Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee Ellis Ross broke down her skincare routine to Vogue. My skincare routine is extensive. “At night, if I’ve worn make-up when I’m working, I use Bioderma to remove my make-up. Then I use CosMedix Benefit Clean, which is a bit of a soapy cleanser, and I use it with a mitt. After that I do a Terri Lawton Serum Toner. Usually at night, I’ll apply the Retrouvé Intensive – it’s a really hydrating moisturiser – and then I put Biologique Recherche T.E.W.L. serum over that. In the morning, I use Retrouvé Gentle Cleanser, and while it’s on my face I use the Pause Well-Aging Gua Sha for about three minutes. After I’ve rinsed the cleanser off with a warm washcloth, I put the Biologique oil on my face, and then use the the brand’s Cryo Sticks – they look like little teardrops and I keep them in the fridge. I do about two minutes on my face with them.”

Kerry Washington is not just an actor; she is an activist. “Going green for #EarthDay! 💚 Buy some sustainable jewelry and help save the 🌱🌎!!! Today and tomorrow only, @auratenewyork is donating a % of proceeds to the Rainforest Alliance to help protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities,” she captioned her swimsuit snap yesterday. Do it! And: How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Kerry Washington stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!
1. She Does This First Thing in the Morning
See on Instagram
“I’ve been really trying to practice the Oprah Winfrey ritual: I check in with gratitude and grace when I wake up. I can be in a little bit of a state of overwhelm and panic if I don’t start out being connected to grace and gratitude,” she told Glamour. "Other ways I reach out to others to express gratitude is to open doors for others, give compliments, say “hello” or “have a nice day,” give a warm hug, pay for a stranger’s meal or coffee, donate to a charity or send cards to loved ones for no particular reason. Other ways I connect to internal awareness is by surrounding myself with inspirational quotes, regular meditation, yoga, spending time in nature and journaling about how I want to feel and what I want to do in order to achieve those feelings," Dana Stewart is a licensed clinical social worker in Behavioral Health in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, writes in the Mayo Clinic.
2. She Uses Sunscreen

Washington has a good tip if you have kids. “A lot of the research that we’ve seen shows that it’s important to put sunscreen on your kids, but as one of the most important things we can do as parents and moms is apply sunscreen to ourselves,” she says. “That’s the act that makes kids the sun protectors of themselves. They’re much less resistant to having the sunscreen when they see us put it on ourselves first, and more likely to do it for their whole life.” 
3. She Does Yoga
Rich Fury/Getty Images
Washington shared video her doing Child's Pose, Happy Baby, Cat Cow, and other yoga poses. “The child's pose helps to stretch your back and muscles around your hips. In this pose, kneel and sit on your knees. Lean forward, keeping your buttocks on your heels, and rest your forehead on the floor. Move your arms so they're next to your legs, palms facing up. Inhale and exhale, slowly and deeply, for at least eight breaths,” says the Mayo Clinic.
4. She Likes Deep Tissue Massages

“Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations,” reports the Mayo Clinic. “Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.”
5. She’s Done Pilates

"I've never met anybody who's taken Pilates and doesn't understand their own body better afterward," she told Women’s Health. "As women, we live in this culture where it's like, 'You have to fix this.' Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical."
6. She’s Inspired by Trailblazers
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images
Washington admires “Jane Fonda, Cicely Tyson, and Diahann Carroll—those women are my lighthouses. Because their light was shining ahead, I knew where to go. They kept showing up for their art and values and that made me feel like I could bring all of myself to my work,” she told Glamour. “If society is telling us to look the other way, and you, as anybody from a disenfranchised community, are saying, 'My story matters,' that is an act of activism.”

Brad Pitt is 59 years old and seems in no danger of losing his title as one of Hollywood’s leading heartthrobs. Benjamin Button references aside, Pitt looks fantastic for being a year shy of 60—so how does it do it? According to the actor, there’s a lot more to it than Hollywood magic and personal trainers, and he just wants to be the best version of himself at any age. “I don’t know about running from aging, but this idea of being more health minded is something I’m interested in,” he says. How does he stay so fit? Read on to see 5 health, wellness, and diet methods Pitt utilizes to look the way he does at 59, and the photos that prove they work.
1. Health and Wellness
James Devaney/GC Images
Pitt’s approach to wellness is to keep things simple and attainable—focusing on common sense over fad diets and workouts. “Trying to stay physical, try to eat healthy a little bit, try to stay creative,” he says, adding that he has cut back on the occasional glass of wine. “I stopped for a while, I’m taking a hiatus, self-induced.” 
2. Giving Up Alcohol

Pitt now avoids alcohol, which is notoriously bad for health and appearance. “I enjoy wine very, very much, but I just ran it to the ground,” he says. “I had to step away for a minute. And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good. [I] don't want to live that way anymore.” Pitt replaced his wine habit with cranberry juice and sparkling water. “I've got the cleanest urinary tract in all of L.A., I guarantee you! But the terrible thing is I tend to run things into the ground. That's why I've got to make something so calamitous. I've got to run it off a cliff.”
3. Taking Care of His Skin

Pitt gets skincare advice from ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, and ex-girlfriend and Goop mogul Gwyneth Paltrow. “Aniston keeps sending me stuff,” he says. “I haven’t tried [her haircare], but she sent it. She’s all over it, I trust her. Paltrow is all over it too. I’ll call her up, ‘I need a tip’, [then it’s] approved or not approved.” Pitt sometimes dabbles in technology to keep his skin in tip-top shape. “I have a makeup artist friend of 30 years [Jean Black] who’ll always bring new stuff for healthy skin, with more of a skin care rather than a beauty focus, like [LED] masks with red lights. I’ll try but I can’t commit, it’s too much work. During films she’ll keep me relatively healthy, she’ll do a regiment. I want it simple, I think it’s true of most guys.” Pitt has also launched a skincare line called Le Domaine.
4. Embracing His Feelings

Pitt says he is no longer running away from his feelings. "I think joy's been a newer discovery, later in life," he says. "I was always moving with the currents, drifting in a way, and onto the next. I think I spent years with a low-grade depression, and it's not until coming to terms with that, trying to embrace all sides of self — the beauty and the ugly — that I've been able to catch those moments of joy."
5. Focusing On Inner Health

Pitt helps support his mental and emotional health through creativity and manual labor. “I'm anxious to get to the studio,” he says. “I think it was Picasso who talked about the moment of looking at the subject, and paint hitting canvas, and that is where art happens. For me I'm having a moment of getting to feel emotion at my fingertips. But to get that emotion to clay—I just haven't cracked the surface. And I don't know what's coming. Right now I know the manual labor is good for me, getting to know the expansiveness and limitations of the materials. I've got to start from the bottom, I've got to sweep my floor, you know?”

Camila Guper is breaking a sweat – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a onesie while doing a series of exercises at the gym. “Second training of the day,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

            
                Consistency

Camila stresses the importance of consistency. “You don't need to do the most amazing training in the world, you just need to be consistent in your training! You don't need to follow the best diet in the world, you need to learn how to eat... Of course, if you go to the best nutritionist in the world, that's great, but I know many people who have access to the best of everything and don't get the desired results! So what do you really need??? I believe it is an unshakable desire to achieve the health of your dreams, the body of your dreams. Your nutritionist will give you a diet, but you are the one who will follow it or not. Your personal trainer will give you the training, but you are the one who will do it with determination, without being on your cell phone all the time. So don't outsource the guilt of not being able to do it, and you need to change your habits and your daily choices!” she writes in a post.

            
                Reading

Camila enjoys reading. She recently shared a photo of the “incredible book” she read. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

When her fans asked Camila to share “abdominal exercises,” she revealed the truth about what it takes to achieve a flat midsection. “IMPORTANT to remember that a defined abdomen is a combination of exercise and diet (clean eating. ) Today there was also a back and biceps workout. Guys it's important to strengthen the whole body. When you do a squat, you can be sure that you are using it, activating your abdominal, strengthening it!” she said. 

            
                Tennis

Camila enjoys playing tennis. “Today was a day to let loose in tennis,” she writes. According to ACE Fitness, it blends cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility, and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

Camila also cycles. “Today's training was 25 km on the bike,” she wrote in a post. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is excellent for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Heidi Klum looks and feels a fraction of her age at 51. “I’ve said many times, ‘I probably will be walking around at 70 if I feel like it, still with a mini skirt if I want to show my legs,’” she told Alex Cooper on Call Me Daddy. “At the end of the day, I still look in the mirror and I feel good about myself. I still have the passion for shopping for fun things and putting on fun outfits and doing my hair and doing my makeup,” she continued. “I still have the fire in me. I love fun things, and I’m still running around the beach with my boobs hanging out, and I don’t really care. Do they look like how they looked before I had kids and they sucked the living daylight out of them? They are different now!” Here are some of the habits that keep Klum looking and feeling young at 51. 

            
                She Nourishes Her Body with Food
            
            
        Heidi nourishes her body with food. “The myth that models don’t eat is totally not true,” she told Shape. “I just think that because we’re in this business, we have to choose more wisely.” She avoids junk food, opting for fruits, vegetables, and lean protein instead. One of her secrets? “In 2013, I made a New Year's resolution to drink a fruit and veggie smoothie every morning. It's one of those that went from a resolution to a life habit. My kids and I do it together, and we love it,” she told Shape. She also loves anything pickled or fermented. One of her favorite dishes? Her family’s sauerkraut soup recipe. A shot of apple cider vinegar in the morning is also part of her daily routine. Some scientific research supports the health benefits of fermented foods, including antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-atherosclerotic activity. 

            
                She Exercises a Few Times a Week

“It’s not just about doing the cardio so that you’re nice and fit, and slim and trim, but your heart needs to pump, too,” she told Shape about why she exercises. “Whenever I need motivation, I think of the big picture. I want to be as healthy as possible for myself and my family,” she said. “I don't really exercise that much,” she added to Buro27. I mean, two times a week for sure. I will do the Stairmaster I've got at home or a running machine. I also think it's important not to exercise too much. I don't think you have to do a lot, but if you do a little bit all the time, I think that's important. Sometimes I'll do some little weights while I'm running.”

            
                She Practices Intermittent Fasting

Klum is a fan of intermittent fasting. "My last [meal] is at 6 p.m.," she told ET. "I eat with my kids, so I think that also helps a little bit. I think that when you eat a little on the earlier side, it has time to digest and I think it is a little bit better for your body."



            
                She Uses These Digestion Hacks

Digestion hacks also help Klum keep her body healthy. “Maybe this doesn't work for everyone, but I learned in this clinic that I went to for two weeks with my husband because he had these horrible headaches, is that you're not meant to drink anything while you eat,” she said during an interview. “Not a half an hour before, not during, not a half an hour afterwards. So you're supposed to drink throughout the day, but not when you are eating because it dilutes our stomach acid. And then the stomach acid is too weak to break down the food. So that's important.” Another hack? “No raw vegetables” at night, “you know, like carrots or anything like that,” she explained in the same interview. “It is terrible to do that. Same with fruit or salad. So in the past I've always been chowing down on salad, but what happens is when you lay down at night, you go into rest mode and your poor stomach and your intestines need to rest. So if you're doing all these things like that, it can't rest. So it's super busy getting through all that uncooked food.”

Heidi spends a lot of time in a swimsuit, so it’s not surprising that swimming is one of her favorite workouts. "I’m fortunate enough to have a pool at home and, when the pandemic started, I began swimming 20 laps a day,” she told Women's Health UK (via DailyMail) in 2020. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. 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, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Stephanie Rice is a professional swimmer. She won three gold medals in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Rice has appeared on The Apprentice: Australia and SAS Australia: Who Dares Wins. She recently got married, and is currently on her honeymoon in the Maldives. Rice shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself in the pool. She captioned them, “A week in heaven 🏝️The last 3 months were so busy and intense, planning our wedding, finishing my masters degree, selling all of Mark’s furniture and booking our honeymoon…so to finally stop, relax and have no decisions to make is absolute bliss 🙌🏽”

Swimming is obviously the main way that Rice keeps herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself training in the pool. Rice shared this video of herself diving in, captioning it, “Procrastinating studying for my accounting exam … so here’s a reel I decided to make instead 😂🫠” Rice also shared this diving photo on her page, captioning it, “These days I only get in the pool to film content for YouTube or if I’m sipping a spicy marg somewhere luxurious 🤣🍹”

Rice likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself lifting weights. Rice captioned it, “After I came back from SAS and my shoulder was slightly better, I decided I wanted to fully commit to a weights program and see if I could transform my body. I’ve always done weights but more functional weights with lots of HIIT and long hikes. So I asked @m.acefitness to create a program for me and help train me a few times a week. At first I couldn’t even put the plates on the barbell because my shoulder was so weak after dislocating it 🤦🏽♀️ but now that it’s almost 100% better I’m really enjoying weights training and I’m learning a lot. I also think it’s amazing how your body responds to different types of training…you really can shape your body however you want to by doing different styles of training and I think that’s so cool.”

            
                She Works Out On A Regular Basis

Rice makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She talked about it in the caption of this Instagram post. “Even though the past few weeks have been mega busy, my workouts stay consistent. They not only make me feel confident and empowered in my physical body, but the mental/emotional benefits are always worth the 1hr sacrifice. My mind is so much more focused after a workout, so I made sure to get one in before my final uni exams and assignment writing sessions. I know when things get busy it’s easy to sacrifice things like sleep, healthy setting and exercise…but for me, those things actually make me thrive, so I keep them a priority as best as I can!!”

            
                She Has A Strong Mind

For Rice, mental health is just as important as physical health. She tells Coach Nine that her mental health helps with her wellness routine. “A lot of people tend to put a lot of pressure on themselves to do big radical changes. I'm all for that, as long as you've created the right mental foundation for it. A lot of people compare themselves to others — I would want to ensure that my friends are making the shift for a more positive and empowering reason.”

            
                She Eats A Veagn DIet
            
            
        ShutterstockRice shared her diet in her Coach Nine interview. “I follow a predominantly vegan diet,” Rice revealed. “I don't enjoy following any strict eating routines, but I always am conscious to eat as much fresh fruits and vegetables if possible. If I am travelling and I don't have access to fresh produce, I try to supplement that with powders. In terms of a ‘cheat’ meal, I love any forms of chocolate, but I tend to lean towards healthy raw desserts.”
