American Horror Story Beauty Emma Roberts in Two-Piece Workout Gear Has "Authentic Reset"

Emma Roberts, actress and wellness enthusiast, recently shared highlights from her experience at The Ranch Life, where she immersed herself in rejuvenating self-care activities. “The most magical and authentic reset I have ever done,” she shared, tagging her Instagram post with @theranch.life. Her time there included activities like early morning hikes and cold plunges, giving her the chance to reconnect with herself and nature. Emma’s approach to wellness doesn’t stop there—she also prioritizes a balanced approach to diet, fitness, and mindful practices, incorporating strength training, yoga, and Pilates into her weekly routine. Here’s a look at the lifestyle habits that keep her grounded and feeling her best.

1. She Hikes

“So grateful i got to experience early morning hikes,” Emma writes in her recent post.

Another self-care method that Emma took advantage of at the Ranche? “Cold plunges,” she reveals in the post.

3. She Values Sleep

Emma maintains that “sleeping is more important than working out," she told the Zoe Report. According to the Sleep Foundation, she is right. Getting ample sleep is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

4. Strength Training

Emma is big into strength training "I'm very easy on myself with diet and exercise. I want to be healthy, and I want to do a good job, but I never put pressure on myself,” she told Zoe Report on her approach to exercise. She works out with trainer Andrea Orbeck, three times a week. "Our sessions are an hour, focusing mostly on arms, abs, and ass-the all-important three A's,” she told Shape. According to the Mayo Clinic, 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.

5. Yoga

Emma gets her zen on. “I also do yoga. I usually take classes with a friend,” she told Shape. Why should you do yoga, per Harvard Health? “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

6. Intuitive Eating

Emma is a big fan of intuitive eating. "With my diet, I do what feels good for me at the time," she told Shape about her eating. "I try not to say that I won't eat something. Instead, I stay in tune with my body and my mind, and I think, What do I feel like eating?"

7. Pilates

Emma does Pilates with Nonna Gleyzer at Body by Nonna. "I love Pilates. I feel very energized and centered when I walk out the door afterward.I tried to get into running, but it didn't work for me. Pilates is something you take your time at, and it makes me feel very clear,” she continued. “I can see my shape transform within a couple of sessions,” she maintains. “That's good because I'm that person who, after one class, lifts up her shirt and says, 'Where are my abs?' I want results!” The Mayo Clinic explains that there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
