Brie Larson trains like a superhero and she knows how important it is to have some down time to relax and recover.

How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 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. She Rarely Drinks Alcohol

Larson says she rarely drinks alcohol, staying sober through all the pandemic lockdowns. "I have such a control issue, it's so hard for me to let go. I drink maybe once a year now. It's just like 'Jesus, like relax,'" she says. “For some people, even one or two drinks, that bit of disinhibition can cause them to take on behaviors that affect their health, from unhealthy food to illicit drugs to cigarettes,” says Professor Kate Conigrave, a University of Sydney addiction medicine specialist. “So [curbing your alcohol] also helps you live the way you want to live.”

Larson loves to eat giant, freshly-baked pretzels (although we’re guessing this is when she isn’t training for Captain Marvel). Indulging in the occasional treat is much better for overall health than being too restrictive, experts say. “You have not ‘ruined’ your day or your progress by choosing a treat,” says Vivian Schemper RDN, LDN. “In fact, this approach aligns with the 80/20 rule of moderation and is much more sustainable. There is nothing unhealthy about this approach, and you can live a very healthy life by eating this way.”

3. Sauna Sessions

Larson enjoys regular sauna sessions, something experts believe may offer many health benefits. “Emerging evidence suggests that beyond its use for pleasure, sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive diseases; nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases; mortality; as well as amelioration of conditions such as arthritis, headache, and flu,” according to a review published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

4. Microdosing CBD

Larson says she likes to take small amounts of CBD to relax. “CBD can help lower cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, according to some research in humans,” says Peter Grinspoon, MD, who makes it clear the studies that exist are limited. “Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for alcohol, cannabis, opiates, and stimulants.”

5. She’s An Avid Reader

Larson loves diving into new books when she has the time, and frequently asks her fans for new recommendations. “Interestingly, several studies indicate that reading works of fiction can be of particular benefit to people with or without mental health difficulties,” says Rob Whitley, PhD. “These studies indicate that reading fiction can increase reader empathy, social skills, and inter-personal understandings (known as ‘theory of mind’).”

Brie Larson is longing for autumn…in her swimsuit! The Marvel superhero shows off her insanely fit figure in one of her latest social media posts, looking incredible in a blue bathing suit. “Does LA even get Fall?” she captioned the Instagram selfie.

"Made an im-POLE-sive decision to try a new workout class," she wrote. "Pole dancers possessed significantly greater muscle strength and lower back and hamstring muscle flexibility compared to untrained controls. Pole dancers had significantly less body fat and significantly more muscle mass in the upper limbs compared to untrained controls," said one study.

3. Her Workouts Are Intense

When Brie hit the gym, she proves that women can kick butt.

"Stretching is a huge part of exercise," Brie schooled everyone in a YouTube video.

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."

Brie Larson is an extremely successful actress. She first came into prominence with the film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Larson received acclaim for her role in Room, which earned her an Oscar. She is currently playing Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Larson shared a new set of photos on Instagram this week. In them, she cooked and wore workout gear. She captioned the post, “In my wholesome homebody era.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brie Larson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Ate Bridge Meals

Larson worked with Dr. Phillip Goglia to help her eat better. In an interview with People, Dr. Goglia revealed that he had Larson eat bridge meals. “You’re using fat metabolism and that will be your bridge meal to get to dinner so that dinner is an appetite environment that will not allow you to crave carbs because you’ve already eaten … you’re kind of full. You’re not in low blood sugar.”

2. She Worked With A Trainer

Larson worked with trainer, Jason Walsh, to help her prep for her Marvel projects. “When she got back from Avengers, it was game on,” Walsh said to Men’s Journal. “We got deep into heavy progression, doing two-a-days, four days a week, sometimes five days a week unless Brie was feeling destroyed. She did the work—nutrition, recovery, sleep—everything required of her. The whole process took nine months of training, and we focused in on a number of key moves, including hip thrusts, which was a staple of our workouts.”

3. She Circuit Trained

Walsh told Men’s Journal that he did circuit training with Larson. “We’d go from mobility into activation work, which we considered a warmup, then into the primary strength exercises,” Walsh says. “That could be a squat aspect, bilateral exercises, unilateral moves, hip-hinge work, and a lot of hip thrusting and posterior chain work to fire up and support the spine. Then we'd do circuits of secondary exercises—basically everything other than those primary moves—and make sure her joints were supported and muscles were activated throughout the workout.”

4. She Scuba Dives

In an essay for Allure, Larson talked about her life, career, and what she’s picked up. “I started scuba diving, and that became a whole new revelation as to how I get in and out of characters. 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.

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Larson shared her skincare secrets with Allure. “To wash my face, I might use coconut or olive oil. 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.”
