Jessica Oyelowo is living it up in Costa Rica in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the actress and screenwriter poses with her husband, David Oyelowo, while taking a swim in the tropics, wowing her followers. “You are really so beautiful,” commented one of them. “Great photobomb!!” added another. How does the Lawmen: Bass Reeves star maintain her amazing body? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.

1. She Does Weight Training

Jessica relies on good ol’ weight and strength training to stay in shape. She shared a video of her workout on instagram and it involved a variety of free weight and body weight exercises – all of which can be done at home with very little equipment.

2. She Hikes

Jessica is an avid hiker. “This is how I feel about the stunning @grandcanyonnps. Breathe in the air and breathe out joy! @serenityhelicopters with the brilliant human Mad Dog as our pilot flew us in perfect style over and into The Grandest of Canyons. Mad love Mad Dog. #livingthedream #beautifulplace,” she captioned a post.

3. She Drinks Tea

Jessica loves a good cut of tea. “Tea tutorial!!” she captioned a post. “Whenever I make tea for anyone who is not a Brit they take a taste and say ‘Wow! This is amazing! How do you make it like this!’ Dearest darling non Brits, here is your ultimate builder’s tea tutorial and for all the Brits you can feel nice and smug that you already knew this 😊 Be nice and send this to anyone who needs these tea tips. Their lives will be so much better for having a proper cuppa.”

4. She Swims

Jessica enjoys swimming. 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.

5. She Has A Supportive Marriage

Oyelowo has a lot of support from her husband. She opened up about their marriage in this post on Instagram. Oyelowo wrote, “Life can hit you hard from all the angles so we try really hard to love and support each other no matter what levels of crazy are going on around us or even because of us 😂He lifts me up and I lift him up. Then life becomes a beautiful dance.”

6. She Wants To Set A Good Example

Oyelowo is open about her strong faith. She tells Woman Alive that this has made her want to take roles that set a good example. “I trust God with my every breath. So, if he has a different plan for me right now, that’s what I’m going do. But there was also quite a lot of fear in me, being in Hollywood. I’m a talented actress; I can inhabit a character. But what seemed even more important to people was how I looked while I played that character. And that is not who I am. This was 16 years ago, and everything was sexy librarian, sexy scientist, sexy, whatever. That’s not who women are! It’s very important to me that I put things out into the world that are edifying even if I’m playing a difficult character or an evil character; the story itself is doing something for good.”

7. She Dances

Jessica is a dancer. “When @lee_lavina and I climb a mountain 😂 It was obviously a choice between singing a duet or doing our dance we’ve been learning in ballet... next time we’ll sing a duet,” she joked in one of her posts. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

1. Drugstore Brands

Galicia prefers simple drugstore brands when it comes to her beauty routine, opting for Neutrogena and Oil of Olay. “All is forgiven if you put on an amazing lash, fabulous hair and an attitude, and it’s all ok,” she says. “Attitude is 90 percent, and a great lash is five.”

2. Strong Characters

Galicia loves playing strong characters. “I’m very attracted to strong, deadly female characters; the kind of girls that you’d think twice about before crossing,” she says. “So basically any female Tarantino character would be amazing. The women that writer/director Pedro Almodovar writes remind me of my mom and my aunts, so one day I will convince him to cast me in a film. I’m so enticed by smart, sexy, scheming women that wield the type of power that doesn’t require a weapon because she is the weapon.”

3. Growth In Her Career

Galicia started her career as a model. “I love modeling,” she says. “It involves beautiful clothes, amazing locations and gorgeous photographs so what’s not to like? However, I was always meant to be an actor, so I have zero regrets. My experience as a model has aided me in navigating the business side of acting, but I also use a lot of the techniques I learned as a model in my acting, like movement, subtly, and improv.”

4. Advice For Young Actors

Galicia has good advice for people trying to make it in the entertainment industry. “Keep your mouth shut,” she says. “Always show up with a chaperone. What other people think about you is not your business. Be on time, which means be early. Save your money. Every battle is won or lost before it is fought. Take Fountain.”

5. Django Unchained

Galicia’s role in Django Unchained changed her life. “Playing Sheba in Django Unchained was a dream come true,” she says. “I was surrounded by Oscar winners in every direction from Quentin Tarantino, Bob Richardson, Jamie Foxx, who was so welcoming and treated me like family from day one, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christolph Waltz. It was amazing. And it was exactly as I imagined it would be. I was in a creative vortex. Tarantino gave me an amazing experience.”

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”
