Busy Philipps In Two-Piece Workout Gear Had “Best Time” In Los Cabos

Busy Philipps just had the best vacation in beautiful Los Cabos, Mexico. Philipps, 45, shared several pictures from her trip, including one of her posing in two-piece workout gear. “I decided to get away last week for a minute because tbh, I really REALLY wanted a vacation because well. don’t we all? ANYWAY…you know what’s a beautiful place to visit and stay? The residences at @nobuloscabos Truly. PLUS it’s a NOBU and the food is next level. And here’s what I was thinking, if you were traveling with a group? For like a girls trip or someone’s birthday or whatever? I’d highly recommend - it would be perfect! and if you were just with someone special? I'm sure you would have the most amazing romantic and intimate time! But honestly? Even if it was just you- it would be just as great. maybe better even🙃! you will love it so much and feel so taken care of and relaxed. I actually truly had the best time ❤️” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress stays fit, happy, and strong.

1. Personal Trainer

Philipps started working out because she was told to—but came to appreciate it on her own terms. “In the early 2000s, I was asked to lose weight for a part, which is not an uncommon thing that happens in Hollywood,” she told PEOPLE. “Although, maybe it’s getting better now, I don’t know. I hope so, for young actors starting out. But I was told to lose weight for a part, and they sent me to [celebrity trainer] Gunnar Peterson, and he showed me a way into fitness by introducing me to spin classes, showing me the workouts, all that stuff.”

2. Learning To Love Fitness

Philipps has learned to love the many benefits of working out. “I think people do that, I think you do, you make that decision,” she told PEOPLE. “You’re like, ‘Oh, I’m not interested in that.’ And finding it organically has been incredible for me, but I was like, told I had to, right? So for people who aren’t told they have to, I would just say to be open to the possibility.”

3. Bulletproof Coffee

Philipps swears by Bulletproof coffee to start the day. “It is 8 to 10 ounces of freshly-brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter or Ghee (I use Kerrygold butter), 1 Tbs of Brain Octane Oil, and 2 scoops of BulletProof brand Collagen Protein Powder,” she told Cosmopolitan. “It's supposed to jumpstart your metabolism, and I think the collagen powder has had a huge impact on my skin's overall texture and smoothness.”

4. Role Model

Philipps feels strongly about setting a good example for her children. “My girls have a different experience because their dad [husband Marc Silverstein] goes to spin class always every day, they know that,” she told PEOPLE. “I do my workout every morning, they know that,” she said. “I feel like modeling behavior for younger generations is so important, and that’s part of the reason why I post my workouts on the [Instagram] stories.”

5. No More Scales

Philipps no longer weighs herself, focusing instead on how she feels. “For me, getting the endorphins and the sweat every morning is part of what I think helps me keep [my anxiety] in check,” she toldHealth. “I stopped weighing myself almost two years ago, because I noticed that it was giving me anxiety and really affecting my mood.”
