Lucy does Pilates. In the clip Hale does ab work on a pilates reformer with trainer Laura J Quinn. “I just discovered Pilates. My butt has never been higher, and my abs have never been stronger. Our bodies are so amazing and resilient, and we don't give them enough credit. I spent much of my teen years and early 20s not loving my body and not being good to it. I'm trying to make up for that because we get only one body. We have to take care of our temple,” Hale told Shape in 2021.

2. Surfing

Lucy is a surfer. According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.

3. Strength Training

“I think the more things you try and the more active you become, the more confident and comfortable you become with yourself,” Lucy said to People. “I’m much happier, my mood is better when I’m consistently working out. I’m just one of those weirdos who likes working out. I really enjoy it.” "I do a lot of strength training because I like to feel strong,” she added to Shape. “I'm 5-foot-2, but I like to feel like a badass and to know that I could kick someone's ass. So I do pull-ups and do squats with the big-boy weights. I even flipped one of those big tires once.”

4. Intuitive Eating

"I'm not going to lie to you: I really don't like cooking. I don't find the joy in it. I like eating. I find that sticking to a strict diet messes with my head and makes me obsess. I call it intuitive eating,” Lucy dished to Shape. “If I'm craving chicken, I'll have chicken. If my body is saying, 'Don't reach for the doughnut,' I don't reach for the doughnut. If my body is saying, 'You deserve a doughnut,' then I'll do it. But I'll never give up coffee. I'll never give up my lattes or bread. There was a phase in my life when I didn't eat bread. What the hell was I thinking?"

5. Hydration

Lucy makes sure she is hydrated, which is important for a variety of reasons according to The Mayo Clinic. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
