Lucifer's Lesley-Ann Brandt in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Pure Gold"

Lesley-Ann Brandt is dancing at the gym in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Lucifer star shows off her amazing body, including flat abs, in a matching exercise set prior to pumping iron. “Hahahahaha! This is pure gold!” commented one of her followers. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Hardcore Workouts

Brandt doesn’t mess around at the gym. She spends five days a week training with Paolo Mascitti. "The reason why Paolo and I work so well together is that fitness is just a part of our lives — almost like another limb," she told Shape. "He also understands what every woman's body is different. I'm turning 40 this year, and he understands where I'm at with my metabolism and what my body needs to maintain muscle mass and strength so I can continue doing what I love."

2. Strength, Flexibility, Agility, and Endurance

During their hour-long sessions they focus on overall strength, flexibility, agility, and endurance, Mascitti told Shape. "We do a lot of plyometric exercises combined with strength training to accommodate her need to move quickly and for long periods of time while she's shooting."

3. Resistance Training and HIIT

"To mix things up, we usually focus two or three sessions on resistance training, and two to three sessions of high-intensity interval training," he added. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

4. Plant-Based Diet

Brandt sticks to a plant-based diet. "I always have a fridge full of vegetables," she says. She sticks to whole foods like quinoa, lentils, and beans and tries to avoid fake meats for the most part. "I'll be honest, I do love an Impossible Burger, but I honestly just fell in love with trying different cuisines, new recipes, and finding new ways to fuel my body and keep me energized,” she said.

5. Exercise Is Her Destresser and Helps Her Sleep

"I've never viewed fitness as a job. In fact, I feel bad when I'm not moving because I know what the benefits are, not just physically, but mentally. Sometimes, when I've had a really busy, stressful day and have worked 15-17 hours, I still make time to work out because I want the endorphins and want to sleep better at night, too,” she told Shape.

It might be fall, but Lucifer star Lesley-Ann Brandt has no plans to stop hitting the beach—and she’s taking plenty of selfies. Brandt, who plays Mazikeen on the show, shared a picture of herself posing on a beach towel in a tan bikini, glowing in the sun. “Apparently, it’s fall. 🥵🍁🍂🤷🏽‍♀️,” she captioned the post. Brandt works incredibly hard to maintain her strong physique—here’s what her training and diet look like.

1. She’s a Daredevil

Brandt loves doing her own stunts. "When I do something, I give it my all," she says. "I do about ninety percent of all the stunts you see on screen. I've always been an athlete. Being physically active is a huge part of my personal life — and I think a big part of Maze as a character is her physicality and the way she moves… I'm such a huge action fan. So, from the very beginning, I've worked on giving as many usable takes of me doing a variety of stunts so that the fighting scenes look and feel real. I want people to believe that Maze can do some damage — and it's easier to bring that to life when you can see real sweat on my face."

2. Personal Trainer Sessions

Brandt works out with personal trainer Paolo Mascitti, who switches up her routine every four to six weeks. "We do a lot of plyometric exercises combined with strength training to accommodate her need to move quickly and for long periods of time while she's shooting,” he says. "To mix things up, we usually focus two or three sessions on resistance training, and two to three sessions of high-intensity interval training."

3. Sweet Tooth

Sugar is Brandt’s dietary weakness. “I do have a sweet tooth; it is my kryptonite,” she says. “It is like French macaroons; I love ice cream and to add almond nuts. I love the crunch. I weaned myself off of chocolate because of veganism, but there is a vegan chocolate I love made with cashew milk. What I'm trying to do is have raspberry tea, but if I need something else, I have a small piece of chocolate. It is a weakness and I have to have it under control.”

4. Plant-Based Diet

Brandt enjoys a plant-based diet. "I always have a fridge full of vegetables," she says. Quinoa, lentils, and beans also make up a larger portion of what she eats, and she says she tries to steer clear of meat substitute products — at least most of the time. "I'll be honest, I do love an Impossible Burger, but I honestly just fell in love with trying different cuisines, new recipes, and finding new ways to fuel my body and keep me energized."

5. Fitness Fanatic

Brandt never skips a workout because she truly loves how it makes her feel. “It's hard for me to go a week without working out and breaking a sweat, but whether that be in the pool doing laps, I was so athletic growing up and my father was a lifeguard, so it was easy for me to be athletic,” she says. “It makes me feel like I achieve something throughout the day.”

In the previous Instagram post, Sheldon revealed that she likes to use the leg extension machine to stay in shape. Asphalt Green states that doing this has a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

4. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram post, Sheldon is seen lifting weights to work her upper body. Lifting weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

5. She Does Short, Effective Workouts

When it comes to working out, sometimes Sheldon goes for ones that are quick and effective. She shared one of her circuits in this Instagram video. Sheldon captioned it, “15 Minute Workout & all you need is ➡️ 3 Exercises & 2 Dumbbells 😮‍💨Short and sharp workout when you’re low on time: Inch worms/ inch worm press ups. Squat to press. Reverse lunges. 10 reps on each (lunges 10 reps each leg). 4 rounds ✅”
