Exercise For Mental Health
Lucy exercises mostly for her mental health. “I think the more things you try and the more active you become, the more confident and comfortable you become with yourself,” she told 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.”
Strength Training
"I do a lot of strength training because I like to feel strong,” Lucy told 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.” Why should you lift weights? The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you develop strong bones, manage your weight, enhance your quality of life, manage chronic conditions, and sharpen your thinking skills.
Pilates
Lucy Hale/InstagramLucy does 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,”she told Shape. Pilates also “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health,” says Mayo Clinic. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
Almost Vegetarian Diet
Lucy stays away from most animal products. “I mainly follow a pescatarian diet,” she told People. “I don’t even like to say diet, just a pescatarian lifestyle. I don’t do dairy and I try to cut back on processed stuff. I typically like to prepare all my food so I know what I’m getting.”

"I think about breakfast all the time," Lucy told Harper’s Bazaar when asked about her favorite meal. "I like all the meals, but I think breakfast is definitely my favorite. But my breakfast can vary from a peanut butter, Perfect food bar to chocolate chip pancakes, with bacon and eggs. Just kind of depends on the day."
