Lucy Hale in Workout Gear Goes Gluts and Core Workout

Lucy Hale is a very successful actress. She is best known for her role as Aria Montgomery in Pretty Little Liars. She's also known for playing the title character in Katy Keene, and for starring in A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A Song. Hale recently hit the gym, and shared a photo of herself working out on Instagram. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lucy Hale stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Hale shared her skincare secrets with WhoWhatWear. She says that her routine has become simpler. "I've realized as I've gotten older that my skin just can't handle too much, and I've had to really cut back. I mean, I used to be the girl who had a 15-step skincare routine every single night. My whole approach to skincare now is really about consistency and less about the number of products I'm using."

Hale shared her morning skincare routine with WhoWhatWear. "I like to start by using a gentle cleanser to really get off all of my products from the night before and any oil that's built up. Next, I'll do a toner, and then it depends, but typically every other day, I'll either use a vitamin C serum or a hyaluronic acid serum, or sometimes I'll just kind of mix them together. I don't really need to add a lot more moisture since my skin naturally produces quite a bit of oil, so I just put on that SPF, and that's pretty much it for the morning."

Hale likes to hike to stay in shape. She tells WhoWhatWear that she aims to hike every day. "I love having slow mornings. I've found that not having to rush really kick-starts my mood in the right way. I try to hike every day. There's a canyon near where I live, and that's sort of my 'me' time."

Hale shared some of her fitness secrets with Shape. She says that she likes to strength train. "I do a lot of strength training because I like to feel strong. 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."

Hale is a big fan of Pilates. She tells Shape, "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."
