1. Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria is an avid chef. She likes to share a lot of her favorite recipes on Instagram. She tells Women’s Health that she likes to make plant-based meals. “Beans are a big source of protein for us. I love making portobello tacos and jackfruit tacos, and cauliflower fried rice.”
2. Reese Witherspoon

Longoria is close friends with Reese Witherspoon. She talked about her skincare secrets in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “As far as skin care is concerned, just really making sure I'm cleaning and washing my face twice a day, particularly on heavy-makeup days, and moisturizing and adding all the serums, because they really do make a big difference.”
3. Victoria Beckham

Longoria’s best friend is Victoria Beckham. The fashion designer and former Spice Girl talked about her diet in an interview with Vogue. “Fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I’ll detox for anything from three to six months where I won’t drink. I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.”
4. Diana-Maria Riva

Actress Diana-Maria Riva co-starred with Longoria on the show Telenovela. She tells The Los Angeles Times that she has a space in her home just for relaxing. “There are many nights when I come home from work and I want a little tranquility and serenity and this space affords it to me,” Riva says. “It feels private and protected. You can see the colors of the sunset, and there is plumeria with beautiful pink blossoms. But it doubles as a great entertainment space with wonderful conversations when people come over. I like anything that makes you feel happy to be in my house.”
5. Marcia Cross

Longoria and Marcia Cross starred on Desperate Housewives together. Cross talked about her recovery from cancer with Coping Magazine. “I’m very lucky, but it does take a while for your body to kind of get back to normal,” she said. “I say the new normal is that I am more sensitive of what I eat and take better care of myself and my diet … I do like to remind people that there is life post-cancer, and after a certain time, it won’t be the first thing you think about every day.”
6. Penelope Cruz

Longoria and Penelope Cruz are good friends, and she attended Longoria’s wedding. Cruz shared some of her workout secrets in an interview with ELLE. “I studied classical ballet for 17 years, and it had so many benefits for me. Now I just do resistance work and a little cardio for an hour about three or four times a week.”
7. Katy Perry

Katy Perry attended Longoria’s wedding. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Perry talked about how she got in shape for her Vegas residency. “I’m back in the gym about three to five times a week, but really it is about strength training and weights. We also like to hike. Orlando has one of those hiking backpacks that we can pop Daisy into; she loves it."
8. Anna Faris
Shutterstock
When Longoria received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Anna Faris showed up to support her. In an interview with Women’s Health, Faris talked about her approach to aging. "I've never had a completely normal cycle, so now that I've passed 40, I do wonder about being premenopausal — and sometimes I feel like my eyes can't focus quite as well. But the larger picture is that I feel happier as I get older. You know how in your 20s and 30s you think, '[Aging] must be so miserable?' But I don't have as many hang-ups now. There's a wonderful liberation."
9. Jaime Camil

Actor Jaime Camil attended Longoria’s wedding. He talked about how he eats healthy to Entertainment Tonight. "I do this food service where you receive your breakfast, your snack, your lunch, your snack, your everything, because I have a lot of cravings," Camil explained. "So if I didn't commit to that service, I would eat everything you put on this table."
10. Jennifer Lopez
Shutterstock
Longoria is close friends with Jennifer Lopez. She works with trainer, David Kirsch, to keep herself in shape. Kirsch shared some of Lopez’s workout secrets with Vogue. “Jennifer and I do a lot of platypus walks with a wide stance. Also known as a sumo walking squat. It’s great for your inner thighs and butt. We mix some cardio, plyometrics, full body, core, and lower body into her workouts - they are very, very intense and she takes it very seriously, which is exciting for someone like me.”
11. Jessica Alba
Shutterstock
One of Longoria’s good friends is Jessica Alba. Like Longoria, Alba loves to cook. She shared some of her recipes in an interview with Byrdie. “My family likes when I make Cornish game hen—or stir fries, pastas, and lasagna,” Alba said. “The kids are pretty easy; they like pretty much everything. I like to cook. In the summer, we do a lot of grilling; in the winter, we do roasting. We always have roasted veggies. I kind of like to cook anything depending on the weather. If I ever wrote another book, I’d want to do a cookbook. I’d love the excuse to cook for six weeks. It’d be the dream. Each meal would have to be 20 minutes; I like to cook fast.”
12. Kate Beckinsale
Shutterstock
Longoria’s friend, Kate Beckinsale, talked about changes she’s made to her fitness routine to Shape. “I love yoga, and that’s all I used to do, but hardcore workouts have really made a big difference in my life,” she said. “I have a lot of internal energy, and intense exercise helps me channel that energy. I find balance by doing a workout that makes me pour sweat. I never was that girl before, but I am now.”
13. Nicollette Sheridan
Shutterstock
Nicollette Sheridan starred alongside Longoria on Desperate Housewives. Sheridan opened up about how she handles stress to First For Women. “Sometimes fear causes me stress.  Not fear like jumping out of an airplane, but anxiety about everyday things. So when that crops up, I look at it, identify what I’m afraid of and figure out why I’m feeling that way. Then I take a small step to start walking through it. No matter how big the fear you’re facing is, it’s the same formula to get through it: Take small steps and find the positive… and you can overcome anything!”
14. George Lopez

Longoria is good friends with George Lopez. She even guest-starred on The George Lopez Show, and he attended her wedding. Lopez talked about how his diet has evolved to theBrain & Life podcast. “I've made fun of soyrizo on stage, and then I went to the market. Then I got some, and I made it the way my grandma used to make it, with the pan on top of it to let the little balls unravel. And with some eggs, and you can use egg, whites, whatever. And it's just as good soyrizo as regular chorizo. And I think the stains in your shirt come out faster if you wash your shirt, but it's all good, man. If you gave yourself an opportunity to, even just with rice or bread, or go to the market and start with a tortilla. I eat a cauliflower tortilla that to this day you wouldn't have been able to convince me that was it was a cauliflower. I had somebody on a cooking show make cauliflower buffalo wings with sauce, and it's cauliflower, but you could not convince me that that didn't taste like a buffalo wing. And it was cauliflower.”
15. Vanessa Williams
Shutterstock
Vanessa Williams also worked on Desperate Housewives with Longoria. In 2014, Williams talked about her diet and exercise to ABC News. "I try to do something everyday, whether it's taking a class or jumping on the treadmill," she said. "Also, yoga, just trying to keep moving for sure."

Uncover the wellness routines of Lindsay Lohan and her friends in this fascinating series. From Lohan's cooking habits and early bedtime to Amanda Seyfried's flexible workout regime, each slide reveals unique health and self-care practices. Lizzy Caplan discusses privacy, Lacey Chabert shares relaxation techniques, and Rachel McAdams talks skincare. Jonathan Bennett, Ashlee Simpson, and others also feature, offering insights into fitness, post-pregnancy health, and embracing body positivity. Each celebrity brings their own approach to wellness, painting a diverse picture of health and self-care in the limelight.
1. Lindsay Lohan
Shutterstock
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Lindsay Lohan shared her wellness secrets. “I cook a lot. I follow this @EatingHealthyToday Instagram and they do these really great healthy meals. I cook a lot of Italian. I do a lot of pastas. I do a lot of an Arabic dish called machboos. It’s chicken with rice and vegetables. I do a really good borscht soup. I also go to bed really early. 9:30.”
2. Amanda Seyfried
Shutterstock
Amanda Seyfried starred with Lohan in Mean Girls, and they recently reunited for an advertisement. In an interview, Seyfried talked about her workouts. “As for the exercise I do, that’s really down to how I feel and, like everyone else on the planet, how much time I’ve got. So that could be using a skipping rope, a bike, a running machine… anything. And when I’m in the zone, I’m in it… which makes up for the times when I’m not, because that really sucks.”
3. Lizzy Caplan
Shutterstock
Lizzy Caplan also starred with Lohan in Mean Girls. In an interview with Grazia, Caplan talked about her decision to live a private life. “There was definitely a period of time, probably around 2016, where it was starting to feel mandatory that if you were an actor, you had to also have this social media presence,” she says. “I managed to avoid it and I still am happy that I did. I do think that it makes the job more difficult. The more people know you and have opinions about you as a person, the harder it is for you to be believable as you disappear into a role.”
4. Lacey Chabert
Shutterstock
Lacey Chabert starred alongside Lohan in Mean Girls, and also reunited with Lohan and Seyfried for the ad. Chabert shared her self-care secrets with New Beauty. “I recently tried a microcurrent treatment and liked it a lot. It left my skin feeling soft and lifted. I love taking a hot bubble bath with Epsom salt to relax. I also find that being outside and taking a long walk while listening to my favorite music helps me to relax. Being outside in nature always helps clear my head.”
5. Rachel McAdams
Shutterstock
Rachel McAdams is another of Lohan’s Mean Girls co-stars. In 2014, she shared her skincare secrets with Allure. "I use a seaweed mask [Fresh Sea Plant Mask] by Chicet that I really love. It dries, and then it's really fun to pick off the pieces of seaweed, which is totally disgusting, and I can't believe I just told you that."
6. Jonathan Bennett
Shutterstock
Jonathan Bennett not only starred with Lohan in Mean Girls, he also played Celebrity Big Brother with her mom, Dina. Bennett shared some of his fitness secrets in an interview with Millennium Magazine. “I’m especially a group fitness junkie. I like to do boot camp, spinning or cycle.”
7. Ashlee Simpson
Shutterstock
After having her second child, Lohan’s friend Ashlee Simpson made sure to get in shape. Simpson’s trainer, Ramona Braganza, shared her secrets with People. “Having a hands on daddy like Evan proved to be a big motivation,” Braganza says. “Taking turns watching his daughter as his wife worked out, prepping some post-workout snacks and performing nighttime daddy duty proved to be a big part in Ashlee’s weight loss success.”
8. Nicole Richie
Shutterstock
Lohan’s friend, Nicole Richie, shared her self-care secrets in an interview with SELF. “There are so many messages out there that you have to do it all,” she said. “Everyone's doing a million things, and we have to realize that self-care and rest is just as important, and you have to have that in order to be the best version of yourself. Something that [Harlow and I] talk about quite often—and even more so now with my kids in virtual school—is that having time to unplug is so important. That's something that I feel like my whole family and I have been constantly having to discuss this whole past year.”
9. Kate Bosworth
Shutterstock
Lohan is friends with actress Kate Bosworth. She talked about the evolution of her fitness routine in an interview with SELF. “I had a hard time with my exercise routine because I felt like it had to be an hour, and it had to be really rigorous and intense,” Bosworth said. “Then, I realized you can go down and get on the treadmill for 20 minutes, and you’ve done something.”
10. Eva Mendes
Shutterstock
Lohan’s friend, Eva Mendes, is all about celebrating body-positivity. In an interview with Shape, she talked about her clothing line, which had many different sizes. “There are diverse body types in my family. One of my sisters is very voluptuous; the other one is skinny. It was really important to me to create a clothing line that embraces all those differences.”
11. Mischa Barton

Lohan is friends with actress Mischa Barton. During the pandemic, Barton opened up about her at-home workouts to Us Weekly.“Training has been a main focus during lockdown,” she said. “It keeps me sane and busy…I love being able to do something that makes me feel so centered and good in all the craziness out there in the world at the moment. Yoga classes was one of the first things I missed the most.”
12. Kate Moss
Shutterstock
One of Lohan’s friends is supermodel Kate Moss. In an interview with The Guardian, Moss revealed that she has started taking her fitness seriously. “I’m at very early stages, but I’ve joined a gym and all that, and it’s made me feel really good. I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I’d never really done before. I always thought ‘this is agony, I’m not coming back. This is torture’. But this time I just kind of pushed through. I honestly lost an inch off my waist in about 10 days. Now I really enjoy it.”
13. Jamie Lee Curtis
Shutterstock
Jamie Lee Curtis starred with Lohan in the film Freaky Friday. In an interview with The Today Show, Curtis talked about what she wanted her daughters to learn from her. "Happiness is a tricky word because life is pain," she said. "I want them to be satisfied. I want them to feel that what they're doing matters, that what they're doing has value."
14. Hayden Panittierre

Lohan is friends with fellow child actress, Hayden Panittiere. In an interview with New Beauty, Panittierre shared some of her skincare secrets. “I’ve learned to wash my face with cold water because of the pores—anything you want to get into your pores, you must open with steam first by warming your skin. I usually use this one in the shower because it’s the perfect time. My pores are open, I wash my face with the cleanser, and, sometimes, I do it twice.” 
15. Paris Hilton

Lohan and Paris Hilton were famous friends during the 2000s. In an interview with Vogue, Hilton revealed that she does regular health tests. “Health and wellness is very important to me – I recently invested in a company named Viome. Using their at home testing kits you can analyse your health down to the molecular level to get personalised nutrition recommendations and supplements made uniquely for you. I love products that help people demystify their health through incredible science and technology.”

Jenna Ortega and her friends are looking good on Wednesday and every day. Here we delve into the remarkable lives of these talented individuals who have not only made a mark in the entertainment industry but also shared their personal insights on topics ranging from self-acceptance and mental health to skincare and fitness. Jenna Ortega, the renowned actress, opens up about her desire to be a role model for young girls, setting the stage for our exploration of her incredible circle of friends. From Emma Myers to Landry Bender, each personality brings a unique perspective to the table. Join us as we uncover the wisdom, routines, and experiences of these incredible individuals who inspire and empower us in their own distinct ways.
1. Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega talked about being an actress and wanting to be a role model for young girls to Harper’s Bazaar. “As a kid, I was always being told what I should and shouldn’t do — which way I should go, what would be best for me,” she said. “I thought, ‘I don’t want other young girls to look up at the screen and feel like they have to change their appearance to be deemed beautiful or worthy.’”
2. Emma Myers

Emma Myers works with Ortega on Wednesday. She tells ComingSoon.net that she learned soccer for a movie. “I never played, but I did have an interest in it growing up. But after doing a couple practice rounds and trials, I like it a lot, but nobody in my family plays soccer with me, so I ended up just kicking a ball around by myself at the time.
3. Selena Gomez
See on Instagram
Selena Gomez talked about dealing with her mental health and bad days to Wondermind.com. “Usually, the first 10 minutes of the day I can kind of gauge how my day will go.  Sometimes I just must accept it’s going to be a bad day and that’s OK. We all have bad days.”
4. Aubrey Plaza

Aubrey Plaza presented an award with Ortega. She shared her skincare routine with The Cut. “It’s pretty simple, especially now that Peet Rivko exists. It’s cleanser, moisturizer, oil. Done. If I feel like I’m super hormonal or I’m having breakouts — a lot of times, because I’m an actor, I have so much makeup on my face and people are putting makeup on my face all day, and sometimes it irritates my skin — I’ll have to throw in an acne product or something like that to help me out a bit.”
5. Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci works with Ortega on Wednesday. She shared what she’d tell her younger self with The Zoe Report. “I would go back and tell my younger self to just lean into being unique and individual. When I was younger, that wasn't really that popular. There was a big push for everyone to be relatable and the girl next door. But I think now we know that lots of different kind of girls live next door for sure. So I would just tell myself to hold on and lean into being unique and it'll all work out.”

Jordan Fisher is a friend of Ortega’s. He talked about revealing his eating disorder to People. "It's been really powerful," he admits. "The amount of people that have reached out just with stories of their own and how you never know what people are going through; I think that that was the thing that really stuck out to people… just a lot of love and respect and kudos in terms of taking care of business and prioritizing my health and mental health."

Joy Sunday is one of Ortega’s Wednesday co-stars. She shared her skincare routine to Byrdie. “I use a cleanser from La Roche Posay, lotion from CeraVe, hyaluronic acid from The Ordinary, and BHA from CosRx. Whenever I feel a zit coming on or need to look extra glowy, I use my Foreo UFO mask. For makeup,  I need someone to threaten me into knowing how to do makeup. I wish I could beat my face. The only thing I can do is a cat eye.”

Gwendoline Christie is another of Ortega’s Wednesday co-stars. Her trainer, Dalton Wong, shared her fitness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. “We focused on various types of postural training focusing on hips and bum, core, shoulders and back. We implemented my mini band and glider programme to do daily at home to help improve her hips and core strength.”

Ortega’s Wednesday co-star, Naomi J. Ogawa, shared her skincare routine to Grazia. “I like to keep my beauty routine very simple. When it comes to skincare, I like using a gentle cleanser and if I feel like my skin needs some more TLC, I’ll pop on a hydrating face mask. It’s so easy to get carried away with using a bunch of different creams and serums but I like to stick to two that work for my skin type. I use the SkinCeuticals redness neutraliser and Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. They’re a bit of a splurge but they honestly work wonders for my skin and a small amount of product goes a long way. I’m also obsessed with pimple patches as I have acne prone skin. The minute I see a spot emerging, I pop a sticker on to not even give it a chance of life. If I feel like my face is puffy, I like to Gua Sha my face and give it a little massage to get the circulation going and give myself a little lymphatic drainage. I do love to keep my skin moisturised, so after I take a shower I lotion up my body with e45 cream. I always put my hair up in a bun using my silk hair scrunchies that my friend gifted me (thank you Pria) as I like to keep my hair out of my face when I sleep.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Ortega’s mom on Wednesday. She talked about her diet to The Wall Street Journal. “I always eat breakfast; I’m not one of those people who can skip it. I have a go-to breakfast that happens every day. Right now, I’ve just switched. In the winter months, I have porridge with banana, brown sugar and berries. Come daylight savings, when we spring forward, I switch to my nonfat Greek yogurt with my berries and my granola.”
11. Landry Bender

Landry Bender is a friend of Ortega’s. She protested this summer during the SAG-AFTRA Strike, and shared this post on Instagram from it. Bender captioned the post, “I strike for the 10 year old me that joined the union and the 80 year old me that hopes to still be working. The majority of @sagaftra member’s job is simply AUDITIONING for the next job - and the majority of members don’t qualify for health insurance. (please consider donating to @sagaftrafound!) We marched this morning for unions in every field - we need fair wages and contracts. My favorite quote today from @msjoelyfisher: ‘What you are doing right now is bigger than any role you’ll ever play.’”

Get ready to be amazed by their beauty, both inside and out.
1. Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek has amazing skin, and she shared her secret with ELLE. “I use an ingredient called tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” she explained. “There’s no one in the States who is using this ingredient except for us. Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like ‘Oh my god! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillings. I’m 48. I will be 49 this year and I only use my creams.”
2. Penelope Cruz

Hayek and Penelope Cruz are best friends. Cruz shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with ELLE Canada. “I get enough sleep and exercise. I also practise Transcendental Meditation; I did it for years in my 20s, and it really helped me. An occasional long massage is also great.”
3. Angelina Jolie

Hayek and Angelina Jolie are good friends. The two starred in the 2021 Marvel movie, Eternals. Jolie is an outspoken advocate for several causes, and she talked about this with The Guardian. “I don’t think I came into this business because I wanted to be an actor,” she revealed. “I came into it because that’s where you could have a voice. When you have somebody who controls the finances and controls the family narrative because they are public, you’re all under that person.”
4. Channing Tatum

Hayek worked with Channing Tatum on the third film of the Magic Mike series, and the two developed a close friendship. Tatum revealed in this Instagram post that he does a lot of ocean swimming to keep himself in shape. “I have done all kinds of bullshit to get in or stay in shape,” he wrote in the caption. “Almost everything you can think of. And I have to say nothing yet has been more suffocating and exhausting and effective than freestyle wrestling or open ocean water swimming.”
5. Reese Witherspoon

Hayek and Reese Witherspoon are close friends. Witherspoon talked about her wellness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. In the interview, she shared how she unwinds after a busy day. “I listen to, like, relaxing music that really sets the mood for bed. It's either, like, scrolling through TikTok or reading a book, and I find reading a book much more beneficial for my mental health. Reading really is like a relaxation technique for me. It takes me to another place. I'm thinking about these characters. I get very immersed in their world. And everything else kind of fades away.”
6. Linda Evangelista

One of Hayek’s best friends is supermodel Linda Evangelista. The model talked about her Sunday routine to Harper’s Bazaar, and included her skincare secrets. "My beauty routine is almost the same every single day, but of course on the weekend you have more time to enjoy some whims. Sunday is such a great day to end the week and prepare for the next, so I make it as relaxing as possible.”
7. Antonio Banderas

Hayek has known Antonio Banderas for over 20 years. They have worked on several films together, notably the Puss In Boots franchise. In an interview on The Today Show, Banderas showed his appreciation for Hayek. “She’s a real friend. Every time that we’ve been working together, immediately there is a chemistry that is very difficult to explain. I don’t want to intellectualize it. It just happens, and it’s great.”
8. Gemma Chan

Hayek worked with Gemma Chan on the film Eternals. Chan opened up about her go-to workout to British Vogue. "It’s a blend of yoga, sun salutations, and a little bit of Pilates core work. It only takes about 10 minutes but I find that if I do that in the morning, it sets me up for the day ahead and my posture is better."
9. Ryan Reynolds

Hayek worked with Ryan Reynolds on the 2017 film, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, and the 2021 sequel, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. Reynolds’ trainer, Don Saladino, talked about the actor’s diet to Men’s Health. “We introduced carbohydrates and I think that’s when his physique changed. Sweet potato is one of his favourite carbohydrates. He’d do oatmeal and protein in the morning. Brown rice and a little bit of fruit. His body became the best it has ever been when he started consuming carbs; it gave his body the energy it needed to start looking the way he wanted to start looking.”
10. Lady Gaga
Shutterstock
Hayek worked with Lady Gaga on the 2021 film, House of Gucci. The singer tells E! News that she’s all about self-care. "It gives me an extra boost of confidence. I feel I'm able to brave whatever is coming my way because I've really taken time for myself."
11. Adam Driver
Shutterstock
Hayek also worked with Adam Driver on House of Gucci. Driver also plays Kylo Ren in the Star Wars series, and works with trainer Simon Waterson to keep himself in shape. Waterson talked about working with the actor to Men’s Journal. “There is no doubt Adam’s military career came through in our workouts,” he said. “I didn’t have to push Adam to go hard. He had all of that motivation. It was more about slowing him down.”

Kaley Cuoco played Penny for the entire series’ run. She makes sure to workout on a regular basis. “You never leave a workout and go, ‘I wish I didn’t do that,’” she told TODAY. “Even if it wasn’t the workout you envisioned, even if it it was a little bit more low-key. Getting a good sweat sets the whole tone for the day.”

Melissa Rauch played Bernadette Rostenkowski from the third season onward. She shared some of her favorite foods to cook with in an interview with Parade. “Lots of whole grains, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Something that’s not in the book that I make a ton is stir-fries with tofu. That’s also quick and easy. It's tofu-based, but not necessarily tofu. Have you heard of Shirataki noodles? House Foods also makes them. They’re so great and kids think that they are eating spaghetti. It’s also got protein and is healthy for them. I love that.”

Mayim Bialik played Amy Farrah Fowler from the third season on. She is open about being a vegan. Bialik shared some of her favorite foods in an interview with The Beet. “Carrots are my go-to, any fruit really: grapes and berries are easiest. A handful of nuts. And air-popped popcorn! And Boba non-dairy milk tea.”

            
                Christine Baranski

Christine Baranski played the recurring role of Beverly Hofstader on the show. She talked about the importance of wellness in an interview with Parade. “Being a performer, you have to stay healthy, get your rest and be physically and vocally in shape. I’m not an exercise fanatic or terribly strict about my diet, but I eat well, sleep well and exercise. I just came from a Pilates class and, whenever I can, I power walk, take yoga or dance in my living room. When I have more time, I’d like to go back to my ballroom and Afro-Cuban dancing.”

            
                Sara Gilbert

Sara Gilbert played Leslie Winkle on the series. In an interview with Prevention, she revealed that she is doing the Spread The Health challenge, which involves working out each day. “I've let exercise slide since having my third child, and I wanted to put it back into my schedule—to regain both the physical and emotional benefits. I decided 15 minutes a day would be a manageable goal. I found it was easiest to squeeze in a daily walk or jog, though one day I was able to do an hour of yoga.”

            
                Alessandra Torresani

Alessandra Torresani played the recurring character Claire. She is open about her bipolar 1 diagnosis. Torresani talked about how she manages her mental health to 1 and 1 Life. “My husband and mother are so supportive. They help me with so much, and they are also extremely supportive. I have a daughter to live with for now, so when I need extra help, my mom and husband are there. I always use the analogy of if I was on a plane with multiple people. I have to put my oxygen mask on first, you know if I’m feeling on edge or if a manic episode is coming on.”

            
                Lauren Lapkus

Lauren Lapkus played Denise on the last two seasons of the show. She talked about what inspired her to become an actor in an interview with We Live Entertainment. “When I was in high school, I started taking improv classes at Improv Olympic in Chicago. That was really the huge thing for me, where I started finding my voice comedically and figuring out how I would end up getting my dream of becoming an actor. I think that path can be so amorphous and hard to figure out when you have no connections to the industry. So at the time just doing improv was a great creative outlet. Then I could see that it led to things like Saturday Night Live or TV shows and the teacher that was there.”

            
                Sara Rue

Sara Rue played Stephanie Barnett in season two. She opened up about how her diet and approach to eating changed in an interview with Cosmopolitan. “I used to zone out without even realizing I was overeating. Because I'd lose track of what I'd eaten, I'd feel like I hadn't had enough food. What really helped me was becoming a conscious eater. I became someone who really paid attention to what I was putting in my mouth. I think that awareness gives you perspective so you can go, ‘I don't need to eat that because I just had this.’ It becomes a reasonable dialogue in your head as opposed to unconscious zombie eating, which happens to a lot of people who are really busy and running from place to place or from job to job. When you really become conscious of what you're putting into your body, you want to make healthier choices for yourself. I didn't cut out any particular foods to lose weight, but I now eat a mostly plant-based diet.”

Riki Lindhome had a recurring role as Ramona Nowitzki on the show. In an interview with The Times, she talked about her struggles with infertility, and how women shouldn’t feel ashamed about it. “Women are often made to feel it’s somehow their fault: they’re not taking enough supplements or they’re taking too many supplements. They’re not doing acupuncture or doing too much acupuncture; they’re not working hard enough at it or they’re working too hard. We are supposed to find this perfect Goldilocks balance in everything. And never be stressed, because that’s also your fault. In reality there’s so much we don’t know about fertility, why one pregnancy works and another one doesn’t, and no one should ever feel ashamed.”

Regina King played the recurring character of Janine Davis beginning in season six. She shared the skincare advice she received from her mother and grandmother with Glamour. “My mother emphasized the importance of moisturizing, all the way from our scalp to our toes. We always oiled our scalps and were mindful of dryness—we were a family with humidifiers. Right after we'd get out of the shower, while our skin was still damp, we'd put on Vaseline or lotion. I know I sound like an ad, but I'm really dead serious. My grandmother seriously had the softest skin I ever felt in my life, and Vaseline was always in the house.”

She captioned it, “My first orange tree! When I was a kid in Pennsylvania I had a kumquat plant and I so wanted them to taste good but they were really bitter. Today’s oranges ... 💯 🍊”

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.
In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.
So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

            
                She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

            
                She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

            
                She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

            
                She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.” 

            
                She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.
In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.
So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

            
                She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts.
