Love It or List It Star ​​Jillian Harris in "Workout Gear" Does Peloton in PJs

HGTV star Jillian Harris does whatever it takes to get her workouts out of the way. Harris, 44, shared a video of herself wearing pink pants and a matching shirt, her hair up in a messy bun. “Caught a glimpse of myself getting ready to hop on the @onepeloton this morning and couldn’t resist sharing it with you. 🤣🔥🚲 Honestly, though… Don’t overthink it. I so badly didn’t want to work out this morning that I worked out in my pajamas with no bra and didn’t brush my teeth… but I still did it and closed my exercise ring before 7am!!” she captioned the post. Here’s how this busy mom juggles work, family, and her wellness.

1. Green Smoothies

Harris loves making green smoothies at home. “I sneak a few extra veggies into my breakfast smoothie to keep my energy up… Plus my not-so-secret ingredient, the INE+ Nutrition: Super Greens Powder,” she writes on her website. “The good news is, most of the ingredients are items and produce you probably already have in your fridge!”

2. Salads For Lunch

Harris overhauled her diet and made sure to always sit down to eat. “Something I was definitely skipping out on before was being intentional about sitting down to eat my meals during the day and also going without food most of the day, and eating a ton at night… maybe that’s why I was always so hungry for a big dish of pasta late at night!” she writes on her website. “I used to joke that I hated salads, but truth be told, I love them … and my lunch meal is my fave. I make a giant, fresh salad and really try to pause and be present while I eat it.”

3. Construction Flagger

Harris says being a construction flagger in her youth taught her a strong work ethic. “I learned something from every job I’ve ever done, but I think being a construction flagger taught me never to say, ‘That’s not in my job description so I’m not doing it.’ I’ve asked people on my team to change diapers or do some dishes real quick,” she told Financial Post. “I’m always looking for people who’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.”

4. Bath and Skincare Routine

Harris loves to end her day with a nice hot bath. “As part of our new wind-down routine, I’ve been dimming the lights after dinner (and sometimes even lighting a candle),” she writes on her website. “Our goal is to get the kids in bed and asleep before 8 pm, so this is another trick we’ve been working on to help regulate their nervous systems and help them find calm before bedtime. If I can, I’ll even sneak in an Epsom salt bath and take my time with my nighttime skincare routine.”

5. Yoga and Lemon Water

Harris wakes up at 5 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for hot yoga. “What is my drink of choice now that I’m limiting my coffee intake? That would be hot water with lemon!” she writes on her website. “I’m such a fan. It’s so nice, especially on those cold mornings, to warm you up and get that metabolism going. Now, I DO still drink my coffee, but I like to start with my hot water with lemon to make sure I’m getting some water in my system before hitting the caffeine (within moderation!), and then I follow it up with a smoothie.”

Alison Brie is celebrating a major milestone in her fitness journey. The Mad Men actress, 41, shared pictures of herself wearing black leggings and a gray sports bra, holding gold ‘100’ balloons that were presented to her as a surprise congratulations. “Celebrated 100 classes @formapilatesla with surprise balloons!! (and a killer ab and glute series🥵😛) Thanks for the time under tension, gals!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Brie’s health and wellness routine looks like in her 40s.

1. Working Out To Feel Good

Brie notices a difference in her mood when she doesn’t exercise. “On days that I work out, I feel good—I feel confident I feel strong and calm,” she told Well+Good. "On days that I don't work out I feel a little untethered and a little grouchy, so it's a real priority to me, no matter where I am. I've done workouts in my trailer at work when I had a 30 minute break. I just feel like, it's good to find that time. It's good for your health, and it's good for your mind.”

2. Rise Nation and Peloton

Brie likes doing Rise Nation and Peloton workouts in Los Angeles, and Devin Wiggins and Claire P. Thomas when she wants to do an at-home workout. "I seldom do the exact thing that they're doing,” she told Well+Good. “But I kind of look at it, and mix and match those with a running list that I already keep in my phone of certain exercises that I can do on my own.”

3. Glow Training

Training for her role as Ruth Wilder in GLOW took Brie’s fitness to another level. "I have never considered myself an athletic person until I started working on GLOW. We do a month of wrestling training before shooting every season of GLOW," she told ET. "That's all of the women in the ring. Three hours a day, five days a week. And that was also incredibly empowering. Learning that your body is capable of so much more than you ever expected is pretty life-changing for me."

4. Food Is Not the Enemy

Brie changed her approach to fitness, now focusing on being strong and healthy over being as small as possible. “More than anything, I think, [with] my trainers, we honed in on healthy eating and not considering food the enemy,” she told ET. “ So it's much better for me to do something, have a lifestyle where I live in a healthy way and I work out in a way that makes me feel strong and powerful and I eat food. But I eat healthy food and sometimes I eat unhealthy food and it's fine."

5. Self-Care Routine

Brie uses Epsom salts and CBD to relax. "For muscle recovery, Epsom salts and CBD are a big part of my routine," she told Well+Good. "My husband [actor Dave Franco] and I usually will take a lazy Sunday. We're very serious about our lazy Sundays—the goal is to not leave the house at all. We do next to nothing."

1. Sweating It Out

Johnson works out to keep both mind and body healthy. “I personally have to go to the gym for a solid workout in addition to my dancing days, and not because I think I need extra exercise, but because I know my body and it's become an important part of my daily routine,” she told E! News. “Working out early in the morning is a form of meditation for me. It's practically the only hour to myself and I get to shut off and just sweat it all out. Typically, my cardio consists of an inclined walk and run on the treadmill for 40 minutes. After that I'll do three sets of 20 push-ups, 100 crunches, and then I'm off to rehearsal.”

2. Real Whole Foods

Johnson makes an effort to fuel herself with good quality food. “I try to stick to REAL food, meaning anything that has been grown naturally or organically and that is not majorly processed: meats and proteins, a lot of green vegetables, less sugary fruits, solid starches and nuts,” she told E! News. “I must admit though, any time I am within a 50-mile radius of chocolate I am the first one to grab a piece and eat it! It's really one of the true joys in life, chocolate.”

3. Walking On An Incline

Johnson loves using the treadmill to walk on an incline. “I laugh because when I was going out I would see those ladies that would, like, speedily be walking down the street with their arms swinging wide and I would always make fun of them, and now that is totally me at the gym,” she told Women’s Day. “It’s great because it’s low impact so it’s not hurting your knees like running will. It engages your whole body because you’re on that incline. It engages your glutes, your legs, as well as your abs, so I love it.”

4. Sleep Health

Johnson prioritizes sleep for her health and wellness. “I tend to get really sick during the season because my body’s just exhausted, and I’m constantly sweating and working,” she told Women’s Day. “I’m the type of person that cannot survive if I have a lack of sleep. I just turn into an angry monster so I have to be pretty consistent about getting a good night’s rest and, you know, even if that means saying no to a dinner date or going out somewhere.”

5. Intense Schedule

Johnson’s schedule is a workout in itself. “To be completely honest with you, during the season we are constantly on our feet,” she told E! News. “Going from one rehearsal to another, to camera blocking, to fittings, to extra rehearsals…And then Monday hits us and that's another crazy long day of dancing. We burn a lot of calories just by dancing so much but outside of that, some of us do proper gym workouts and some of us don't.”

1. Love Island Training

Phillips went on a very strict health and fitness regimen before going on Love Island, working out for 90 minutes a day. “I would do 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill very fast at a high incline,” she told Women’s Health. “I would do a few sets on the lat pulldown machine... and then I used to do a quick circuit on the mats. I used to use like free weights and stuff and that would literally be it every single day.”

2. Holistic Health

Phillips works out to protect her mental health as well as her physical health and appearance. “As I've gotten older, I've realized that separating being healthy from your body image, and how you ‘think you should look’, is the true gamechanger,” she told Bustle. “I feel like a lot of us just subconsciously go to the gym because we think we need to look a certain way. But there are so many other benefits; looks should be the lowest thing on your list of reasons to go to the gym… Don't get me wrong, the health benefits and all of that are absolutely amazing. But for me personally, it is all about the effect physical activity has on mental health.”

3. Morning Workouts

Phillips works out first thing in the morning before the work day starts. “I can tell you what I hate doing and that’s squats,” she told Bustle. “But I really like the feeling of lifting weights and boxing. It almost doesn't feel like you're working out because you're learning something new. I read somewhere that music also gives you the same sort of endorphins as exercise does. I can't think of anything worse than working out and having rubbish music. Or worse: no music at all. I need to listen to angry music, like DMX. Or if I'm going on holiday, then I’ll listen to happy vibe music.”

4. Plans For the Future

Phillips wants to move in a different direction in the future. “I definitely want to maybe get into some kind of politics after the show,” she told Glamour. “I just like helping people and I want to do as much as I can to help people. For me, it’s not really about how much a job pays you, because it’s about helping people. I know that’s cliché and embarrassing, but the job I was in before in the fire safety team, the job previous to that was more money, so... I got a better feeling out of the fire safety team. For me, it’s all about helping people."

5. Embracing Her Physique

Phillips wishes she hadn’t been so hard on herself in the past. “I was aware that I was definitely the biggest girl in there [the villa] but watching old episodes back now, I'm like ‘you looked fab!’” she told Women’s Health. “But that is just proof that you're never happy with what you've got, so you might as well just be happy with what you've got. I was self-conscious but I had no reason to be.”

Wrestling champion Nia Jax (real name Savelina Fanene) is taking a break from the madness of the fighting ring to relax, breathe, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Jax, 39, shared pictures of herself wearing black workout gear, looking zen and serene as she sat outside in a yoga pose. “Full of gratitude 🙏🏽,” she captioned the post. Here’s what inspired Jax to lose weight, gain a huge amount of confidence, and become an even better fighter.

1. Pilates and Personal Training

Jax says she is currently training in preparation for her return to the ring. "I am training. I'll train over at D-Von Dudley's ring,” she told Bill Apter, via Cultaholic. “He's great and then I go over to Nattie and TJ's [Natalya & TJ Wilson], so they run me through some drills and stuff like that and I have matches. I'll get in the ring every now and then with some of my friends like Charlotte [Flair] and her husband, Manny [Andrade El Idolo)... Right now, I'm enjoying being at home with my family. I have a new nephew and I've kind of started being obsessed with Pilates.”

2. Pickleball Matches

Jax enjoys pickleball matches with her friends, which is a great way to get a cardio workout while having fun. “I think one of the things that we as a society have underestimated is the benefit of being outdoors, and a lot of pickleball is played in the setting of existing tennis courts or other newer courts that are being specially designed for pickleball that are outdoors,” cardiologist and Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Calum MacRae tells CNBC. “Something like pickleball, which is an active, social sport and builds community, sustains people in regular exercise over time. It’s really something that for us is exciting to see.”

3. Losing 48 Pounds

Jax lost a whopping 48 pounds in just six months after feeling uncomfortable at friend Charlotte Flair’s wedding. “Me to @MsCharlotteWWE after her wedding: ‘I feel gross & uncomfortable! I want to lose weight’. @MsCharlotteWWE to me: ‘Please let me help you! You got this woman.’ Officially started in October…6 months later, down 48lbs🥺🙏🏽 Sends me killer workouts and motivates me 💪🏾🥺,” Jax tweeted. Nice work!

4. No Glam Squad

Jax takes care of her own pre-ring prep, no glam squad needed or necessary. “I really take pride in doing my own make-up all the time which takes me about 40 minutes, and my hair takes another 15 to 20 minutes,” she told Metro. “Putting on my gear is probably another 15 minutes, so all in all I don’t think an hour and a half is too bad!”

5. Body Type Pride

Jax is proud to represent a different body type in the wrestling world. "I noticed they were always beautiful women but skinnier and smaller than me," she told Refinery29. "I just never really saw somebody like me in the business, and I didn't think that somebody like me would fit in to that business. Maybe a young girl seeing me and not feeling comfortable in her group can feel like, Oh my gosh, look, she went out there and she’s different and I look like her and she’s kicking ass and she’s taking names. Maybe one day I can do that and I should just embrace who I am.”
