Read on to see 7 ways Larson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Weight Training

Larson isn’t afraid of lifting weights, and credits it with not only getting her into shape but with connecting to her Captain Marvel character. "A huge part of [Captain Marvel] is her strength," Larson told Entertainment Tonight. "I knew if I could go through that experience, I would get closer to her and I'd understand [her]." “We’re very familiar with the benefits of aerobic exercise like running, cycling or walking, but we haven’t focused on lifting and strength exercise. They’re seen on either ends of the spectrum – one makes you strong and muscular and one helps you live longer but that’s not true. The reality is the two, in terms of health benefits, overlap more than they differ,” says Dr. Stuart Phillips, a McMaster University professor in kinesiology and Canada Research Chair in skeletal muscle health.

2. She Loves a Little Fat and Sugar

Larson understands a balanced diet means not restricting or eliminating entire food groups, and would regularly eat almond butter and all-fruit jam or preserves for breakfast while filming Room. “The most recent science has shown that a little bit of fat and a little bit of simple sugar will actually increase intensity rate while you train early in the morning … and allow you to still continue to train and burn fat,” says Larson’s nutritionist Dr. Philip Goglia. “That really does start your engine for you.”

3. Hardcore Resistance Training

Larson challenged her fitness levels and pushed her body beyond what she thought was possible while training for Captain Marvel. "I affectionately called myself 'an introvert with asthma' before I got to play Carol Danvers and I started training first out of sheer panic, because I thought, 'Oh my gosh, Marvel doesn't know that I don't even know how to walk up a hill without being out of breath.’ So, I started this journey thinking I'll get strong and I had no idea. I went far beyond what I ever believed was possible for my body," she told Insider. "Being able to hip thrust 400 pounds, deadlift 200 pounds, push my trainer's Jeep, I mean, it's an incredible experience to realize what's inside of you is well beyond what you knew was possible."

4. She Started Slow and Built Her Way Up

Larson makes her workouts look effortless on Instagram—but it wasn’t always that way. "They don't realize that we actually started with all of these really fundamental, easy moves before we got to that point, and that's one of the reasons why we built so much resiliency and you were able to not get injured," says her physical therapist, Jason Walsh.

5. She Embraces Her Natural Beauty

Larson typically plays roles that are powerful but not always glamorous. “I mean, a lot of the jobs that I've done have been characters that don't have makeup on,” Larson told Allure. “And that felt incredibly empowering to me. I remember someone asking me once, ‘How did they do your acne for Room? It looked so real.’ And I was like, ‘Oh no, those were just my zits.’ That was part of my growth and expression, saying, ‘This is who I am and this is what I look like.’”

6. She Loves To Scuba Dive

“I started scuba diving, and that became a whole new revelation as to how I get in and out of characters,” Larson told Allure. “You can't just dive into the ocean. You have to have a plan. You have to understand the process of going down and then the process of coming back up, and you have to allow air for that.” "Scuba diving allows one to target specific muscle groups particularly in the legs, glutes, core and back while maneuvering through a medium that is hundreds of times more dense than air,” says Theresa Kaplan, director of communications for the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). “To move efficiently through the water, a diver learns to streamline their body—engaging core, glute and back muscles—and kick from the hip, as opposed to from the knee to glide through the water. Let’s also not forget the out-of-water benefits of diving. Lifting scuba tanks, weights and other dive equipment can be comparable to many weight lifting exercises.”

7. She Loves To Use Oils

Larson is a big fan of using oils as part of her beauty regimen. “To wash my face, I might use coconut or olive oil,” she says. “When I used to travel and do pressers and things and I didn't want to bring tons of products, I would just ask the hotel for olive oil. Oil my face, hot towel. [I found out about cosmetics brand] Decorté over a year ago when they just sent products and asked me to try them out. I really liked them, and it seemed that we both liked each other, and so they asked me to come on board and be this ‘brand muse,’ which is surreal for me. I just never thought that I would be the face of a beauty brand.”

Minnie Driver recently took a break from filming to go on a “Winter boat/surftrip with women who are excellent.” She captioned one bathing suit photo: “I swear we surfed. But nobody had a GoPro or a water-casing for their phone. Best trip. Good women. God, the water was warm 💙 gracias Madre and thanks for the pic Cam BARBIE FEET DRIVER! POP YOUR ... HIP! @camrich11 @minniemortimer @jamiesk @theseea,” she wrote.

2. Here's Her Take on Makeup

“If it was just me and my everyday life and I wasn’t being stalked by the paparazzi every now and again, I would wear no makeup and my hair would be up,” she told Everyday Health. “But because they’re around, I always have a base and mascara on, so my skin will always look even and my eyes won’t look like coal in the snow.”

3. She Has Woken Up Like This

“I stick my head under a freezing cold faucet!” she told Everyday Health. “Then I apply moisturizer, let it sink in while I get dressed, and then go do my makeup.”

“Sick of this ‘50 is the new...’” she Tweeted shortly after J. Lo’s Super Bowl appearance in 2020. “50 has always been 50. Women were previously just expected to shrivel and accept their husk. I suppose it must be terrifying to a lot men if we actually burned brighter, hotter, more ambitious and emancipated from shame, the older we got. #50” She added: “I didn’t realise that in just being myself and being unafraid to say that to the world: ‘I’m a woman, I’m 50 years old, and I’m here and I’m not going anywhere,’ was going to mean so much to so many people.”

It is a safe activity and can even be used in people with stable CVD, provided it is used sensibly for an appropriate period of time," says the Mayo Clinic. "Indeed, based on the current knowledge and evidence, sauna bathing may have beneficial effects and has therapeutic potential to reduce the risk of adverse health outcomes in the general population. In the future, sauna bathing has the potential to be also recommended for people with cardiovascular risk factors and stable cardiac patients as a pleasant lifestyle measure."
