Eva Longoria has a busy schedule, but she doesn’t let this stop her from working out. She tells Vogue that she makes working out a priority, and always fits it into her schedule. “You waste more time than you think. People say ‘I don’t have time to work out, I don’t have time to do this.’ When you just commit to it and you all of a sudden prioritize you realize, ‘Oh wait, I did have time.’ When I started to get my master’s degree it was like Monday and Wednesday nights from 7pm to 10pm at night and it was after Desperate Housewives so I would drive to school from the set and everybody was like, ‘How do you have time?’ and I just said ‘Well, I don’t know, Monday and Fridays are for school’.”

3. Gina Rodriguez

Gina Rodriguez is all about body positivity. She opened up about the importance of this in an interview with Shape.

For America Ferrera, exercise is something she enjoys doing, and something she does on a regular basis. "I love moving my body,” she told People. “I try [to work out] once a day. I think my relationship to moving my body and working out has really evolved, and I'm in a place where I just want to enjoy it. I want to have fun, I want to move because I can, because it feels good, and because it always makes my day better after I've done that."

5. Karla Souza

Karla Souza shared some of her beauty secrets and favorite products in an interview with Glamour. “I finally found a shea butter balm called Liha from Thirteen Lune,” she said. “It's a Black- and brown-owned company, everything is clean, and it comes from West Africa. You can put it on your face, on your hair, on your body, etc. But the trick for me is to put it on in the shower because the hot water helps make it easier to apply all over since it's so thick. It helps with stretch marks, too.”

6. Daniella Alonso

Latino Media Awards and Gala, Los Angeles, USA - 25 Jun 2016Brian To/Getty Images

In a 2015 interview with Felix Magazine, Daniella Alonso talked about how she approaches her career. “I’ve grown a lot,” she says. “And with experience comes getting better.

7. Eiza Gonzalez

The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" - ArrivalsMike Coppola/Getty Images

Working out and giving blood flow to my legs is saying 'thank you for allowing me to walk around.’”

8. Dania Ramirez

Global Road Entertainment's "Hotel Artemis" Premiere - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

Dania Ramirez shared some of her fitness secrets with BET. “I like to switch up my regimen because I feel like that’s the only way for someone to really stay fit. Exercising gets a bit boring. I try to do some weight training for three months - where I’m doing a lot of squats. For another part of the year, I’ll just do stuff outdoors. I’m lucky that I live in L.A., so I do a lot of hiking and rollerblading.”

9. Emily Rios

2017 Summer TCA Tour - FX - ArrivalsMichael Tran/FilmMagic

Emily Rios is extremely grateful for her career. She talked about this in an interview with Intomore.com. “I don’t know how I got to this point in my career where that could happen, especially on such a big job like this.

Whenever I feel like my heart rate’s kind of high, and I’m a little anxious and on edge and unable to focus, I try to set out 10 minutes to meditate in that moment and reset and ground myself again. I use an app, Balance. I think that’s really what it is—just learning the tools that you need and moments when you need them.”

11. Melissa Fumero

Steve Granitz/FilmMagic

Melissa Fumero does a variety of things to stay in shape.

Jessica Alba shared some of her favorite workouts with Byrdie. She says that she prefers to workout with others. “I really like taking group classes, or I like to work out with friends. I like high-intensity workouts; I like moving around a lot. I don’t like a lot of repetition. I like Spin classes, depending on the teacher and the playlist. I do like hot yoga classes, if it’s done at a good pace. I prefer it mixed in with light weights, so like a sculpting hot yoga class. I’ll always work out with a friend because it’s more fun.”

13. Jordana Brewster

The Little Market's International Women's Day LuncheonFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

Jordana Brewster opened up about her recovery from an eating disorder in an essay for Glamour. She says that she is working on not second-guessing herself. “In my 20s and most of my 30s, I second-guessed every move or decision I made.

I also feel like I finally have a partner.”

14. Genesis Rodriguez

15. Salma Hayek

11th Annual LACMA Art + Film Gala - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Salma Hayek swears by juice cleanses to help with her wellbeing. She writes on the website for her company, Cooler Cleanse, that doing a juice cleanse helps her eat better in the long run. “After doing a juice cleanse, I'm motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally.

16. Sofia Vergara

2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsLionel Hahn/Getty Images

Sofia Vergara shared some of her tips for staying healthy to People. She says that drinking coffee is one of her biggest secrets. “Who doesn't love starting the day with a delicious Colombian roast? Sure, it's tasty, but it has so many benefits, too! It'll wake you up and get you energized for your workout, and it's been proven that drinking coffee (caffeinated, of course) helps your body burn more fat during exercise. Every little bit helps, right?”

17. Michelle Rodriguez

2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsJohn Shearer/Getty Images

Michelle Rodriguez is known for playing badass female characters in films. She opened up about what she’s learned from these roles in an interview with The Mary Sue. “It's taken me a while to figure out where the femininity is in that because, you know, to exert any kind of strength or freedom, it’s usually a physical fight or some sort of brute force. And I really don’t think that that is the true now that I’m older essence of strength, of femininity.”

18. Zoe Saldana

World Premiere Of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures "Avengers: Endgame" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Zoe Saldana makes sure to eat healthy. She tells Byrdie that one of her secrets is drinking green juices. “Nutrition is super important in my life. It always has been. These days, I’m really heavy into having a green juice in the morning because it’s hard for me to have a balanced meal sometimes as a working mom. I’m a professional; I’m working all the time. I want to make sure that I get my greens in, so I do that every day, and it helps me a great deal.”

19. Eva Mendes

2022 Fox UpfrontDia Dipasupil/Getty Images

I always want to come from a place of power, and of knowing my body. The fringe benefit of that is that I look great in some clothes … and am fit for life.”

Diane Lane shared her approach to skincare with The New York Times. “What I do now, I create a mantle when I go to sleep.

When it comes to choosing which skin-care products I use, I keep going back to the women I actually have a whole lot of respect for. They are facialists who have their own product lines. I throw in some other stuff, too, but in general they are my tried and true.”

So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga, and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids.”

6. Maribel Verdú

And then, after that, I’m hoping to continue doing theater for a little bit longer. My friends are a bunch of creative geniuses, so no matter what, that’s the way I’m going right now.

In 2019, Chyler Leigh revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She talked about this in an interview with Prevention. “I was so terrified because of my past,” she says. “I was so worried about turning into all of the things I hated when I was growing up, but it was life or death.

Danielle Panabaker talked about playing the role of Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost on The Flash to Comic Book Resources, and expressed her gratitude. “I feel so lucky. Everything about this show is uncommon. It's uncommon to do 184 episodes. It's uncommon to get to play so many characters over that time. It keeps it exciting. It's a lot of fun.”

In addition to her role on Legends of Tomorrow, Ciara Renee is also a Broadway star. She opened up about how she stays fit during shows to FitForBroadway.com. “There'll be times when I do yoga 3-5 times a week, run once or twice, see my personal trainer for strength training, and take a cycling class on the side. But there are definitely other weeks where I get busy and end up only doing the 7-Minute workout app every day, and just let that and the show be my workout. I try to be active everyday, unless I've decided I really need a recovery day. Those days usually consist of a massage (because duh), a lot of food, a good nap, and a TON of water.”

18. Tala Ashe

Tala Ashe opened up about playing Zari on Legends of Tomorrow to Comicbook.com. "I was really nervous about it coming into the world," Ashe admitted. "I felt like I had a really good time filming it. It was the kind of experience I like to have, which is, I'm overwhelmed and I'm challenged in a wonderful way. And I had a lot of support from the writers and from the director, Ben Bray, who I really collaborated well with. But after that, I don't remember exactly how many months it was we had to wait until it was in the world. It happens often as an actor, where when you're doing something it's very different than what you end up seeing. And I'm particularly hard on myself. Maybe they sent me a cut like a week before or something, but I hadn't really seen it until about the time that the public did, so I was nervous and it was an enormous relief [when the episode aired]."

19. Juliana Harkavy

We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.”

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Hayley Atwell revealed what makes her feel beautiful. “When I feel my most beautiful is when I'm not really feeling myself; instead when I'm looking at or engaging with something beautiful, then that's lit up in my eyes or it generates a natural smile from within."

Danai Gurira talked about her approach to fitness in an interview with Women’s Health. “As women, we’re not always encouraged to find the full extent of our physical power,” she said. “There’s something so exciting about tapping into that part of ourselves. It might be lifting weights, it might be boxing, it might be something a little less intense. There’s no need to break records tomorrow. It’s just about slowly finding what feels good and what feels rewarding.”

5. Tessa Thompson

2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsJemal Countess/Getty Images

Tessa Thomspon talked about getting in shape to play Valkyrie to Comic Book Resources. “I gained about 15 pounds of muscle mass, which yeah, it was a lot for me,” she said. Thompson also said that she wanted to do this to change how people perceive women in movies. “I like sort of bucking this conventional idea of a woman is beautiful or sexy if she’s sort of thin. She’s felt, but you can’t really see her strength. I like the idea that she can just be ripped, like Valkyrie is in the comics. Yeah, I found that sort of essential, that not really caring about how I looked, but caring more about how I felt. I felt so strong, and in my skin."

6. Elizabeth Olsen

2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsKarwai Tang/WireImage

Elizabeth Olsen has starred in many different Marvel projects, and she does different things to get in shape for each one. ​​“I do change it up depending on the gig,” she said to The New York Times. “For Captain America: Civil War, I was doing Muay Thai. It’s not the most comfortable thing, and I don’t do it anymore. I do love going to the gym. I love it because my brain works better, and I don’t want to think about eating restrictively.”

7. Krysten Ritter

Los Angeles Premiere Of Max Original Limited Series "Love & Death" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2016, Krysten Ritter shared how she got in shape to play the lead character in Jessica Jones with TrainForHer.com. “I’m big on juicing – all greens. Luckily, I don’t have a sweet tooth, so I’m more into kale, cucumber, spinach, parsley and celery. I’ve also cut out gluten, dairy and fish for the most part, and I’ve felt so much healthier and better since. Jessica Jones was an eight-month shoot so I needed the energy and my health to be on point. Also, with this. I increased my clean proteins with the working out.”

8. Adrienne Palicki

Adrienne Palicki works with trainers Bobby and Alicia Storm to keep herself in shape. In 2013, Bobby and Alicia gave an interview to SELF, where they revealed how Palicki got in shape for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. "She did a lot of her own stunts, and much of the time it was in high heels! [The reverse lunge] works our glutes and legs and incorporates the core for a nice flat belly. And they get your heart rate up.”

9. Chloe Bennet

Gold House 2nd Annual Gold GalaMonica Schipper/Getty Images

In 2016, Chloe Bennet talked to Teen Vogue about starring in the ABC Marvel series, Agents of Shield. She said that she enjoyed representing the Asian community on the series. “I’m so proud of what the show has done, and I think we haven’t gotten enough credit for the amount of diversity we bring to our show. Our showrunner is an Asian-American woman, and our two lead females are Asian-American women. 90% of stunts and the ass-kicking and the saving on the show are from the women. I don’t think it’s talked about enough! We’ve quietly been breaking new ground.”

10. Jessica Henwick

EE BAFTA Film Awards 2023 – Red Carpet ArrivalsJoe Maher/Getty Images

Jessica Henwick opened up about her acting career and her wishes for the industry in an interview with Glamour. “It's not important to me that I become anything,” she admits. “But it's important to me that we keep pushing forward and it's shocking to me that I was the first, considering it was 2009 and how long British television has existed. When I was growing up, I would've loved to have seen someone who looked like me on screen. All I got was stunning English roses. So I absorbed that and thought that was the ideal way to look. When I was a kid, I totally wanted to look like that. I was like, why can't I be blonde and have really pink cheeks and have curly hair? It would've been healthy for my self-image if I had been able to look at someone else and think, I could also look like me. So it’s definitely important. But it’s also just more interesting. I'm bored of seeing the same story told over and over again. I want to hear from new creators, something that I've never seen before. There are woman rejuvenating the industry by sharing their own stories: Michaela Coel, Phoebe Waller Bridge, Brit Marling. These are the women who inspire me and, uh, who I would love to be like one day when I grow up.”

11. Olivia Holt

Olivia Holt’s many projects include the Marvel series, Cloak and Dagger. She shared some of her skincare routines with E! News. “If my skin is feeling extra dry or tired, I'll simply take some greek yogurt and use it as a face mask to wake up my skin. Then I'll use the Shani Darden's Facial Sculpting Wand to depuff under my eyes or around my face. Then I'll use a Sonya Dakar Blue Butterfly Balm. Then apply some SPF.”

12. Rosario Dawson

Star Wars Celebration 2023 Ahsoka PanelJeff Spicer/Getty Images

Rosario Dawson has done a lot in her career, including starring as Claire Temple in Marvel products, specifically the Netflix show Luke Cage. Dawson shared her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. “I walk everywhere. I drink a lot of water. I try to get as much sleep as possible. Everything else about my schedule and routine is inconsistent, so if those types of things I can do, they’re really important… I can always take the stairs rather than use the elevator or the escalator.”

13. Natalia Cordova-Buckley

Premiere Of Disney And Marvel's "Black Panther" - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

In addition to being a Marvel star, Natalia Cordova-Buckley wants to be a role model and speak out about things that are important to her. “I’ve always been very politically driven in my country,” she says to People. “My father is too, and I think he unconsciously installed that in me. I’ve always been very outspoken about the injustices that the government of Mexico has distilled upon its people and country.”

14. Carrie-Anne Moss

"The Matrix Resurrections" Red Carpet U.S. Premiere Screening - Red CarpetSteve Jennings/Facebook

Carrie-Anne Moss talked to The New York Times about reprising her role in The Matrix. “It was important to me that I let go of any construct in my mind that I needed to look like I did when I was 30,” she said. “I find that thinking makes desperation as a woman, and I didn’t want any desperation. I knew I wanted to look good, but I didn’t want to do a juice cleanse, I didn’t want to do all these extreme things. I laugh because at times I would just feel so cool, I got this.”

15. Brie Larson

Daily Front Row's 7th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

To help her eat right for films, Brie Larson works with nutritionist Dr. Phillip Goglia. He told People that he has Larson eat bridge meals. "You're using fat metabolism and that will be your bridge meal to get to dinner,” Dr. Goglia explained. “So that dinner is an appetite environment that will not allow you to crave carbs because you've already eaten… you're kind of full. You're not in low blood sugar."

16. Scarlett Johansson

To prepare for playing Black Widow in the Marvel franchise, Scarlett Johansson works with trainer Eric Johnson. Prior to starring in the 2021 film, Black Widow, Johnson opened up to Shape about Johansson’s workout routine. "She already had this great training base, this huge foundational strength base," says Johnson. "We had a big quote-unquote offseason, we had a lot of time to prepare, almost a year, so I could really get her foundational strength and condition really up to where we wanted it to be."

17. Rachael Taylor

I looked dreadful. It wasn’t for me.” Taylor also said that she has a better sense of self now. “I haven't always been at peace with my self-image, although in the back half of my 20s, I've become a lot more comfortable.”

18. Gwyneth Paltrow

Daily Front Row's 7th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Gwyneth Paltrow shared some of her wellness tips in an interview with Shape. "I notice that the older I get, the more drawn I am toward monitoring my health,” she revealed. “Doing blood work, and collecting data about inflammation levels, blood sugar levels, sleep, vitamins, etc. Your body rebounds a little less quickly from overindulging — staying healthy takes a little more intentionality."

19. Lupita Nyong’o

94th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsKevin Mazur/WireImage

While filming Black Panther, Lupita Nyong’o and her cast members ate healthy on set. Marvel hired personal chef, Brandi Patten, for the cast. “It was only once we wrapped that I realized I was on a sugar-free diet,” Nyong’o tells ESSENCE. “We could have fruit, which is a good sugar, but no fructose or refined sugar. But we could have carbs, which are good when you work out as much as we did, and we weren’t eating less. We actually had to eat smaller meals every three hours. I never got bored. I’ve never worked on a project like this where there is a diet and a workout plan.”

20. Zoe Saldana

HBO Max Original Series "GORDITA CHRONICLES" Los Angeles Premiere - ArrivalsJC Olivera/Getty Images

Zoe Saldana works with trainer, Jason Walsh to help her stay in shape. Walsh opened up about working with the actress to Shape. "Zoe is always willing to put in the work," says Walsh. "She stays motivated by her own goals and understands what she needs from her body. It is not about motivation with Zoe; it is always there."

NCIS has been on our screens since 2003, and features some of the most well-known actors and entertainers in the industry. From LL Cool J to Lauren Holly, these stars work hard to stay camera-ready on a show that’s been running for 20 years. So how do they do it? Through discipline and healthy habits—not to mention happiness and plenty of fun. Here’s how 20 cast members of NCIS take care of their health and wellness.

1. Maria Bello

59th Monte Carlo TV Festival : Day ThreePascal Le Segretain/Getty Images

Maria Bello played Jacqueline Sloane. The actress loves Pilates and working out with a trainer. “I have a trainer named Aimee Carpenter, and she has this company called Indigo Mountain,” she says. “Some days we go for a hike, other days we do weights at my house. It's kind of like going with the flow instead of thinking, ‘I have to do 20 squats today.’ I also do Pilates at a studio called Embodiment.”

2. Pauley Perrette

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,24:,Pauley,Perrette,At,The,LosShutterstock

Pauley Perrette, 54, played Abby Sciuto. The actress prefers working out at home over going to a gym. "Learn the simple art of using your own body weight to work out,” she says. “There's no need to go to a gym. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, wall presses, running up and down stairs. Everything you need to get in shape, you have.”

3. Lauren Holly

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,October,06,,2018:,Lauren,Holly,At,TheShutterstock

Lauren Holly, 59, played Jenny Shepard. The actress swears by Bikram yoga to stay fit and happy. “I practice Bikram yoga, which is a certain kind of yoga and it’s in a very hot room,” she says. “I love it—it’s like my own personal form of meditation because I can’t think of anything (besides the heat) through the whole class. I haven’t been practicing since COVID, and I miss it so much. It really gave my brain a rest and my skin a glow.”

4. Chris O'Donnell

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,21:,Chris,O'donnell,At,The,34thShutterstock

Chris O'Donnell played G. Callen. He admits co-star LL Cool J inspired him to get fit. "His arms are insane – they're as hard as a wall," he says. "I'm just an average guy trying to keep my body in good condition so I can still do the things that I love. I don't want to give up sports. I want to move around with my kids and play football in the backyard. I have to work hard to stay fit."

5. LL Cool J

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,June,7,,2015:,Ll,Cool,JShutterstock

LL Cool J played Sam Hanna. The actor works out with a personal trainer. “It’s important to have somebody there to push me. Every player needs a coach,” he says. “There’s nothing wrong with not having a trainer, but I prefer it. I do a minimum of four workouts a week — usually an hour on workdays and two hours the other days. I combine weights and cardio. I jump rope, run and lift weights. I do pull-ups and push-ups, plus core work with a ball, while lying on an incline. I also run up hills. I measure my heart rate on the treadmill. I don’t use monitoring devices or apps. Instead, I go by the mirror. I rarely use a scale.”

6. Daniela Ruah

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,August,01,,2017:,Daniela,Ruah,AtShutterstock

Daniela Ruah, 39, played Kensi Blye. The actress has been dancing since she was 5. “Do I dance at home? Sure,” she says. “Sometimes my son and I will prance around the house and dance. He responds to music so wonderfully, but I wouldn’t say it is something that brought me back into shape. I didn’t do any (dance) classes. I wish I had. It was mostly gym work with a personal trainer, jogging, working out with the kids, and eating healthily.”

7. Jennifer Esposito

"Fresh Kills" Premiere - 2023 Tribeca FestivalJamie McCarthy/Getty Images

Jennifer Esposito, 50, played Alexandra Quinn. The actress was diagnosed with celiac disease in her 30s. “It’s an autoimmune disease, so you really have to stay on top of it,” she says. “When you feel a flare coming on, if you don’t take charge right then, it’ll cycle out of control. I feel great right now, but my killer is stress, and I’m still learning how to deal with that. Meditation helps a lot.”

8. Kelly Hu

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,5:,Kelly,Hu,At,The,"bmf"Shutterstock

Kelly Hu, 55, played Lee Wuan Kai. The actress prefers a plant-based diet. “I think diet is everything,” she says. “What you put into your body is not just important for weight management but affects every aspect of your life. I’m a firm believer in eating clean, organic, healthy foods. I stopped eating fast and processed food years ago and I think that’s the number one thing I’ve done for my skin and body. Luckily I enjoy cooking and have the time to do a lot of my own food prep even when I’m shooting.”

9. Rena Sofer

Rena,Sofer,Attends,Jess,Phoenix's,"ignite,For,Science",2018,CongressionalShutterstock

Rena Sofer, 54, played Margaret Allison Hart. The actress wants to look the best version of herself at any age. “I don’t diet,” she says. “I exercise quite often. I’m very into hula hooping. I hula hoop for like an hour probably five times a week and that keeps my stomach and my back very strong and I work out at home. We have a home gym so I get on the elliptical or do lunges around the house, stuff like that… I’m an older woman who just doesn’t expect to look like a twenty-year-old so I don’t try to. I just eat what I want, but I eat in moderation and I don’t smoke and don’t drink and I take care of myself.”

10. Vanessa Lachey

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,03:,Vanessa,Lachey,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Vanessa Lachey, 42, who played Jane Tennant, never skips breakfast. "I'm a big breakfast girl. If I had a choice, I would sit down to sausage links and a ham-and-cheese omelet and toast and fruit,” she says. “Sometimes—and this is probably the Asian in me coming out—I'll do scrambled eggs over rice with soy sauce. It's a big comfort food for me. When I'm at a hotel I'll call room service at 7 in the morning and be like, 'um, do you guys have white rice and soy sauce?'"

11. Katrina Law

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,19:,Katrina,Law,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Katrina Law, 37, who played Jessica Knight, fits her training around her filming schedule. “I went old-school—working out with weights and doing just one body part at a time,” she says. “For a while, I was doing a HIIT circuit. But sometimes with interval cardio, I find myself getting injured and wearing myself out a lot. When you’re working 14-hour days, you tend to break down. I found it easier to do very lazy, long cardio. And also yoga to stay stable and Zen out.”

12. Scott Bakula

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,2:,Scott,Bakula,At,The,CarolShutterstock

Scott Bakula, 68, played Dwayne Pride. The actor loves running, even in the heat. “Now that I'm healthy I try to run three or four times a week, a minimum of 45 minutes each time,” he says. “And then depending on if I'm training for something, I'm upping that for long runs on the weekend. Even if I'm not, when I have time, I do six to 10 miles on Sundays… I mix it up. Sometimes I'll go 30 minutes and walk for one, and then go 10 and walk for one. Sometimes I'll run 15 minutes, then walk for one; 14 minutes, then walk for one, and go down from there.”

13. Marina Sirtis

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,3:,Marina,Sirtis,At,The,10thShutterstock

Marina Sirtis, 68, played Orli Elbaz. The actress believes in aging gracefully over too much cosmetic surgery. “It doesn’t make sense for actresses to have plastic surgery because there’s no point in looking 40 when you’re 60 because you know what? They’re gonna hire somebody who’s 40,” she says. “They’re not gonna hire you – first of all, you look like you’ve been caught in a wind tunnel! So it doesn’t make sense for actresses.”

14. Cote de Pablo

Celebrities Visit BuzzFeed's "AM To DM" - September 23, 2019Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images

Cote de Pablo, 43, played Ziva David on the show. The actress swears by regular yoga sessions. “Four or five days a week, I do open flow Vinyasa [breath-synchronized yoga],” she says. “I bring a teacher, who happens to be a great friend, to my house. You look at this woman's body and you go, ‘Wow, the benefits of yoga!’ You can see that there's a lift everywhere. And it's completely natural. There's nothing fake about her body. I love natural beauty.”

15. Emily Wickersham

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,1:,Emily,Wickersham,At,The,CbsShutterstock

Emily Wickersham, 39, played Eleanor Bishop. The actress does regular Pilates sessions and plays tennis. "For me it's about feeling good first... and I've realized that it comes from what I choose to eat," she says. "Once I started paying attention to what I was eating and becoming conscious of what made me feel good or bad, it was a game-changer."

16. Jamie Lee Curtis

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,09:,Jamie,Lee,Curtis,Arrives,ForShutterstock

Jamie Lee Curtis, 64, played Dr. Samantha Ryan. The actress loves yoga, Pilates, and taking walks with her friends. “Fluids are key,” she says. “I walk with girlfriends. [It’s] incredibly good for you.”

17. Marisol Nichols

Marisol Nichols, 49, played ATF Special Agent Zoe Keates. The actress taught herself to cook, and says it’s been a game changer. “My food philosophy is this: You’re not going to stick with any lifestyle change unless it tastes good,” she says. “Otherwise it’s torture. And why would you do that to yourself? I also recently rediscovered celery sticks and peanut butter. Remember that from when you were a kid? They’re so good. I also live on Zevia soda, which you can buy at Whole Foods.”

18. Jon Cryer

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,13:,Jon,Cryer,At,The,2019Shutterstock

Jon Cryer, 58, played Dr. Cyril Taft. The actor is a big fan of running. “I train five days a week but I only do three days of distance work,” he says. “I either do it swimming, running or biking. Now because I'm not really training for a triathlon, because triathlon season isn't till late August and September, now I just run pretty much. I run and I work out with weights with my trainer.

19. Bellamy Young

New,York,,Ny,-,March,08,2019:,Bellamy,Young,AtShutterstock

Bellamy Young, 53, played ATF Special Agent Melinda Stone. The actress walks six miles a day on her treadmill and follows a vegan diet. “I think veganism has a branding issue, but other than that, it’s a great way to live,” she says. “I know a lot of people now like to go with ‘plant-based diet’ instead. I guess that makes it a little bit more palatable, but for me it was the answer to a myriad of things that weren’t working in my life. I had terrible cystic acne, no energy at all, I didn’t always digest food perfectly. And so it’s never been difficult in terms of a row to ho or anything. It’s just always been, um, I’ve just been lucky that my body and my heart were in line.”

20. Paula Newsome

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,26:,Paula,Newsome,Arrives,To,TheShutterstock

Paula Newsome, 50, played Jackie Vance. The actress loves the healthy lifestyle she enjoys in Los Angeles. “I have been really fortunate in that I’ve been able to work a lot,” she says. “In New York it was more of a struggle. At that time there was not as much film and television production. In LA I could make a decent living as an actress and LA is also great for my health. I eat healthier and work out more here I don’t think it would have been possible in New York. The quality of life here is different.”

3. Eva Longoria

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,June,09,,2023:,Eva,Longoria,At,TheShutterstock

Eva Longoria welcomed her first child in 2018. She talked about the post-baby weight loss process later that year to Us Weekly. “I really gave my body time to adjust to postpartum and post-pregnancy,” she said. “You know, it had a baby! It created a human life, so I really wasn’t too hard about getting back into shape. Now I’m working out a lot more and watching what I eat. I’m barely starting to get back into it.”

Actress Gabrielle Union has one daughter with her husband, Dwayne Wade. She is also a stepmom to Wade’s three children. Union makes sure to stay motivated to workout, and has a good reason for doing so. "Knowing that there are people who cannot wait to circle your fat and draw an arrow to it keeps me in the gym," she told Health Magazine. "So between fearing health issues and fearing (tabloid articles like) 'Stars, they're just like us! Look at their cellulite!' - that keeps me in the gym. Then, when I get in there, I get competitive and won't leave. I basically have the Olympics happening in my mind with strangers. They don't realise we're competing, but I usually take gold. Mainly because they've left."

If I’m not doing anything, I’ll do it twice a week, or at least once a week if I’m really being lazy — even if it’s just going to the beach and walking.”

I started dancing because I couldn't train when I was sick. We started making up moves, and it was fun. Now I run for 10 minutes, and then I dance.”

She revealed in a Vogue interview that she has learned to put herself first, and that this helps her be there for her kids. “You turn yourself into a pretzel for people and think that that’s a noble thing, to put yourself second,” she says. “And it’s not. Those patterns become deep patterns that you carry with you, and then at a certain point you go, Wait, this doesn’t feel good. Why am I never happy? I really felt that way for a long time. And finally I was just like, Ugh! It’s time to figure me out because I need to be good for these babies. And even from there, with all the willingness I had, it took years and years to really put the pieces together, like, Oh, this thing I do because of this, that thing I do because that happened to me at this age.”

Actress Cate Blanchett shares four children with her husband. In an interview with The Cut, she revealed her go-to workout. “I really like Pilates. I feel like it’s made for actors’ bodies. For me, I need to do it one-on-one. I find that when you go into a big class, you actually need a guiding hand. At home we have an elliptical trainer, which is good because that’s often the only exercise I get. But my job is very active — I end up stretching each day before I go on, so I feel very taken care of in that way.”

15. Alicia Keys

Nicole Kidman has four children, two with ex Tom Cruise, and two with husband Keith Urban. In a 2014 interview with The Los Angeles Times, she shared her workout secrets. "Variety is the best way I’ve found,” Kidman says. “If you think you are going to wake up and run five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you’ll get bored and hit the snooze button after a week. So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga, and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids.”

17. Padma Lakshmi

TV host and former model, Padma Lakshmi, has one daughter. She shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with EatingWell. “I usually just try reaching for an apple, to be honest. I love Honeycrisp apples; we get great ones from the Union Square market, especially this time of year. I will often just slice up an apple and have it with some peanut butter, that's a great snack for me. I love just a handful of almonds—I think anything we can do to have nuts and fruits, those good fats and natural sugars that we may crave are better than eating things we can't pronounce.”

18. Jennifer Garner

Actress Jennifer Garner shares three children with ex Ben Affleck. She broke down her typical diet in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

It's like magic, but you have to earn that magic.”

She Does Yoga

Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
