Cat-cow, toe sitting, and cobra pose are a few of her favorites.

Brie, who trains with Jason Walsh, is all about hardcore workouts. During their session they lift lots of weights, do one-armed pull-ups, and other intense exercises. Once, Brie even pushed a 5,000 pound Jeep down the street. “Pushing myself past my limit, honey! Doesn’t always look pretty but gosh it feels amazing,” she wrote in a post, asking her trainer, “how heavy were these again?”

Brie makes sure to prioritize self-care. “Sauna, massage, nature - does it get better?” she captioned a recent photo of herself during a wellness getaway at Wilderness Reserve. "Sauna bathing, an activity used for the purposes of pleasure, wellness, and relaxation, is linked to a remarkable array of health benefits. 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."

1. She Works With Experts

To get in shape for Captain Marvel, Larson worked with a personal trainer. She enlisted trainer Jason Walsh. However, Walsh told POPSugar that he had some other experts work with Larson. "For the first phase of training, I send every client to my colleague and good friend, who is a registered dietitian and MD, and they do blood work," he explained.

2. She Lowered Her Body Fat

The main thing Walsh worked on with Larson was losing her body fat. He wanted her to lose fat and gain muscle. Walsh tells POPSugar that this was pretty easy for the actress. “It didn’t take us too long to get her where we wanted her body composition.”

3. She Ate Bridge Meals

Larson worked with Dr. Phillip Goglia on her diet for the film Room. He says that he had the actress eat “bridge meals” to help her prepare. "The purpose of a bridge meal is to get to lunch so that you don't overeat lunch,” Dr. Goglia explained to People. 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."

4. She Starts Her Days With Protein Shakes

Larson starts her mornings with protein shakes. Dr. Goglia tells People that this helps her train harder in her morning sessions. “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,” Goglia says. “That really does start your engine for you.”

5. She Weight Trains

Larson does a lot of weight training to help her stay in shape. She posted this video of herself using a barbell on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing squats with one side of the weight in her hands. Larson captioned the video, “No toes were hurt in the making.” Here's how to do a bicep curl, for example: "To do a biceps curl with a barbell, pick up the barbell with your palms facing away from your body. Place your hands comfortably apart on the bar. This is usually about shoulder-width apart. Keep your back straight, and tighten your abdominal muscles. Slowly curl the barbell up by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows close to your body. Then slowly lower the barbell to the starting position. You'll feel tension in the muscles in the front of your upper arm," says the Mayo Clinic.

Brie Larson is thriving at 32 and has the body of a (literal) superhero. “What am I dancing to? Wrong answers only,” the Captain Marvel actress captioned an Instagram photo of herself looking fabulous in a bathing suit and cut-out crop top. How does she stay so fit? 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.”
