1. She Knows “No Weights, No Problem”

Eva, a longtime fan of exercising on a trampoline, shared an Instagram Story of herself this weekend doing arm curls with two clear bottles. “No weights...no problem,” she captioned the photo. (Her trampoline was right behind her.) No weights yourself? No problem! David Zinczenko, author of the best-seller Zero Belly Diet, says “try the Zero Belly Snaxercise Circuit. This 10-minute quickie delivers the benefits of much longer workouts. In fact, scientists in New Zealand say that short bouts of exercise like this may control blood sugar even better than a single, continuous workout. For snaxercise, you’ll need a clock or the stopwatch function on your smart phone. Do the following in order:

1 minute jumping rope

1 minute jumping jacks

1 minute high knees

1 minute burpees

1 minute bodyweight squats

1 minute jumping rope

1 minute jumping jacks

1 minute high knees

1 minute burpees

1 minute bodyweight squats.”

2. This is Her AM Routine

“I try to wake up and immediately work out. I get up, put on my sunblock and running hat, and I’m off. I like to work out in the morning because the day gets away from me and I will never do it in the afternoon — I get too tired. After I run I eat probably the same thing every morning, which is egg whites with spinach and turkey bacon,” she told The Cut.

3. She Meditates

“Everything is about balance,” she told the Cut. “I think people waste more time than they think. They think ‘I don’t have time to meditate, or I don’t have time to work out,’ and yet they have time to be on Instagram for 30 minutes — like, that could have been their meditation session. You have to prioritize your time and efforts toward wellness.”

4. She Has a Healthy Outlook

"I remember after my divorce, I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked and it was probably the most unhealthy place I've ever been," Longoria told Health. "So it was funny what people would see as 'healthy.' In my worst time, people were saying I've never looked better. [But now] I have a great diet and exercise routine and I try to have a healthy outlook."

5. She’s a Veg Head

"I could easily be a vegetarian because I love vegetables so much and I feel like L.A. is a place that can support healthy living," Longoria told InStyle. "I love cooking with vegetables and I have a secret for cooking with vegetables, [which] is that they don't need a lot. A lot of people cover them in cheese or cover them in a sauce, and vegetables really only need olive oil."

6. She Snacks Like This

"I love to cook. But when I'm on set, I have food delivery sent there. Before I could afford a food delivery system, I would make my breakfast and lunch, I'd pack some snacks, and put almonds in my purse. I was always prepared because I was always hungry," she told Health.

7. This is Her Secret to Looking Good

“I do a lot. I’m a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I’m just constantly mixing it up,” the actress told People. “Everybody thinks there’s some kind of secret to looking good, but it’s not a secret. It’s diet and exercise,” she added.

It can also be helpful in training for sports or in physical rehabilitation.”

Eva works hard to maintain her figure, and diet is one of the key components. "Especially as you get older, people want to know the secret to looking good and there is no secret. It's diet and exercise," she revealed to Vogue Australia. She also emphasized the important of doing both. "People say they eat well but they don't exercise. Or they run 20 miles a day but they can't lose weight. You have to do both."

4. Her Workouts Are Intense

"I do a lot. I'm a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I'm just constantly mixing it up," she told People. She also works out with trainer Grant Roberts, and does serious weight training. Her Instagram feed is filled with clips of her hardcore workouts, which involve a lot of compound moves to work multiple muscles simultaneously, like squat/rows, sled pushes, battle ropes, and school deadlifts.

5. Her Go-To Cardio? Trampoline

Eva is a huge advocate of trampoline workouts on a JumpSport trampoline. “Saturday workouts are better with a trampoline,” she recently captioned an image of the springy workout tool, which she has dubbed the “Rolls Royce” of trampolines.

6. She Has a Healthy Outlet on Body Image

Eva once revealed to Health that when she was her skinniest, she was also the unhealthiest n. “I try to have a healthy outlook. I'm your everlasting, hopeless optimist!” she said. "I don’t feel like we should go by these rules and social constructs of society where you have to be a certain size to be pretty," she told Health in 2017.

1. She Has Her Go To Favorites

She has her go-to breakfasts that start the day off right. "I usually have egg whites and beans,” she said. “For lunch and dinner, Longoria says she usually plans a gourmet meal. "I've been really bringing it during COVID. I've been making everything from fish tacos to shepherd's pie to curry. No day is the same," she said about meals during the pandemic. “If you have heart disease or high cholesterol, be cautious about the number of egg yolks you consume, and take into account all the other forms of saturated fat (red meat, beef, pork, veal and lamb, poultry skin, whole-milk dairy or full-fat cheese) in your diet,” preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Setting a limit of four egg yolks per week is recommended.”

2. After Trying It All, She Says Moderation is Key

She tried different diets to see what works for her. "I'd do a cleanse. I'd try keto. I'd try no sugar," she said. "I tried. I wanted to do it for the environment, but I just love cheese so much!," she mentioned about her attempt to go vegan. "Life is about moderation, and life is long. One of the greatest ways for me is to enjoy food."

3. She Mixes Up Her Exercise Routine

Even though she’s definitely a fan of the vino, she’s obsessed with tacos, too, when it comes to her actual favorite food. “There's literally 100 different versions of tacos." They’re delicious and it keeps her from getting bored.

5. She’s Created A Wellness Shot

Eva’s wellness shot that she swears by consists of an orange, ginger, lemon, honey, lime, turmeric, and cayenne. "Take the skin off all ingredients," she says. Then she adds everything except for the cayenne to a blender, blend, strain, pour, and sprinkle with cayenne. "Should I add tequila? It's probably not a wellness shot if we add tequila," Longoria said.

1. She Enjoys What She Does

Eva-LongoriaEva Longoria/Instagram

Longoria has a very busy schedule, which you think could stress her out. However, you’d be wrong. Longoria says that the secret to managing her stress with her busy schedule is doing projects that she enjoys, and that won’t drain her. “I enjoy everything that I do, and I only say yes to things that don’t give me burnout,” she said to Bustle. “When they approached me to do a podcast, I knew it had to be something I’m going to enjoy, so that every time it’s on my calendar, I don’t dread it. That’s how I approach everything in my life.”

2. She Takes Time For Herself

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - March 21, 2022Gotham/GC Images

Longoria tells Bustle that despite her business, she still prioritizes her time to herself. “For me, it’s being aware, taking emotional inventory, working out, meditating, listening to podcasts, and prioritizing ‘me’ time, whether it’s a massage or seeing my chiropractor.”

3. She Monitors Her Sleep

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - March 21, 2022Gotham/GC Images

Longoria’s beauty sleep is extremely important to her. She says to Bustle that she used the pandemic to check in with herself, and to make changes to her routine. Longoria decided to monitor her sleep, and see how to get the best sleeping schedule for her. “I have the Oura Ring, which uses biometric data to figure out your sleep pattern. What I found is I get deep sleep when I don’t eat super late, so I usually eat with my son around 5 or 6 in the evening, and then I’m done for the night.”

4. She Uses A Trampoline

Longoria is open about her love of trampoline workouts. She tells Bustle, “It’s so good for lymphatic drainage. I burn more calories doing that than running an hour, so it’s really changed my life.”

5. She Strength Trains

Longoria is also a big fan of strength training and lifting weights. “I do very heavy weights,” Longoria tells Women’s Health. “I feel like my body changes the most when I do that. I wear a heart rate monitor, and I can see my heart rate spike from just doing a heavy bicep curl.”

Jen Heward is a fitness influencer. A few weeks ago, she shared a workout she did while she was pregnant on Instagram. In it, Heward is seen doing things like lunges, bicep curls, and modified push-ups. Heward captioned the post, “Always picking wedgies 🐫🤣 Killer full body burn 🔥 from the drafts!! Little did I know I was going to have a baby 2 weeks from the day this was filmed 🥹 I actually haven’t done a full body since this workout 🤣 I’m inspired by my own videos to get back into it again 💪🏼”

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Heward is seen doing exercises with weights. This has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that Heward is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Core Workouts

Heward likes to do core workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared some of her favorite core exercises with ankle weights in this Instagram post. Heward captioned it, “Strengthening these hips and core back postpartum 🔥 plus quite a few of you were asking for some inner thigh exercises! SAVE 4 LATER. It might not look like much for core, but you need a whole lot of deep core stability for these leg exercises. This way you hit more than one muscle group at a time! The workout took me 30 min but had me 🥵”

She Does Pull-Ups

Heward shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing pull-ups. According to Gymless, it can be very beneficial to do these. “Pull-ups are one of the most fundamental calisthenics exercises that build up your strength and endurance in the upper body. It is commonly used as a form of physical test from schools all the way up to the military. Many athletes from all sports backgrounds use pull-ups in their training, which makes this one of the best exercises for building the upper body and developing a bigger and stronger back.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Heward is also seen doing hip thrusts in the previous Instagram link. Gymless says that these are very beneficial for your glutes. “Strong glutes are not only for aesthetic appeal; they serve a key functional purpose in supporting the posterior chain of muscles around the spine. Hip thrusts are also known for their capacity to develop and define glute muscles, contributing to their popularity on social media. After all, who doesn’t appreciate the look of a well-crafted pair of glutes?”

Brooke Ence is a fitness expert, and is the founder of From The Farm USA. She shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. Recently, Ence shared a video of herself doing interval weight training. In it, she is seen doing things like burpees, deadlifts, and sit-ups. Ence captioned the post, “So here’s one of my favorite ways to break a sweat. 🔥 It’s challenging, mentally engaging, and interval style, which always keeps it fun.”

She Lifts Weights

As you can see from her Instagram video, Ence likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of other posts of herself using weights. According to ACE Fitness, lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Deadlifts

Ence is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “One significant benefit of the RDL is that it teaches clients how to lift from the hips instead of using the lower back. The base move of the RDL is the standing hip hinge, which is an important component of learning how to squat correctly. The first move during the lowering phase of the squat should be the hips moving back in a flexed position. Back pain is often associated with not using the hips properly when squatting or bending over to pick an object up off of the ground. Teaching clients how to lift safely in the gym means they m

She Does Burpees

Ence is seen doing burpees by jumping over a barbell in her Instagram video. Burpees have a lot of benefits. A Healthier Michigan says, “A burpee is an easy exercise and can be done in almost any location because it involves no workout equipment and only requires a small amount of space. Burpees workout your entire body and are great for building strength and burning calories.”

She Does Sit-ups

Another exercise that Ence is seen doing in her Instagram video is sit-ups. The Cleveland Clinic says that sit-ups are very beneficial. “Sit ups are essential for strengthening your core — something that’s obvious. But your core is responsible for so much more than those classic ‘six pack’ abs many strive for. A strong core can reduce back pain, improve balance and increase your flexibility. Core muscles also support your hips and pelvis. Finally, a strong core will help you build good posture.”

She Jumps Rope

Another thing that Ence does to keep herself in shape is jump rope. She shared a photo on Instagram of herself jumping rope for an interval. Ence captioned it, “Got snapped 📸 during my training day. Here's the Metcon I was doing, how many double unders could you get? 4 Rounds. 20 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches . 90 Seconds Amrap Double Unders.. Rest 1:00.”

Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, really. It also generates power for upper-body movements and all kinds of other activities.”

She Loves Eggs

And some research shows that eating yogurt as part of a healthy diet can help prevent long-term weight gain, which is good for the heart.”

She Loves Raspberries

Pellacani’s yogurt dish includes raspberries. The Cleveland Clinic states that they have a lot of benefits. “Raspberries are also full of antioxidants and nutrients called polyphenols that decrease oxidative damage. Like their blueberry cousin, they’re high in fiber to aid in digestion, blood glucose control and weight loss. There’s more, too. Raspberries also are great sources of: Vitamin C. Manganese. Potassium.”
