Eva Longoria in Bathing Suit Enjoys "Sunday"

Eva Longoria is no stranger to wearing a swimsuit, as she did in a photo she just posted, captioned “Sunday.” But it’s still jarring to see because usually, she appears to be working. Whether she’s acting, making documentaries, selling tequila or touting a new project, this multi-hyphenate never seems to rest. In fact, the same day as the swimsuit photo, she appeared at the premiere of The Gordita Chronicles, a new comedy series on HBO Max, set in 1980s Miami, which she directed. (Zoe Saldaña is a producer.) How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Eva Longoria 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 Uses a Trampoline For Exercise

Eva uses the trampoline to get a full body workout, often bringing one when she travels and even hosting trampoline parties where other celebrities jump along with her, working up a sweat. According to one study about mini-trampolines: “This research found that mini-trampoline exercise enables a workout sufficient to improve endurance and expend calories,” said American Council on Exercise Chief Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D. “We also saw that participants consistently thought the workout was easier than the measured heart rates and oxygen uptake levels, which should likely have a positive impact on long-term exercise adherence.”

2. She Doesn’t Skip Leg Day

Eva knows that the biggest muscles in the body are in your legs; build them and you build fat burners. “There are many reasons for keeping the legs strong including reducing fall risk, improving metabolism, and getting out of a chair with more ease. Additionally, according to a British study done on twins, published in 2015, there is also a link between brain health and leg strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Does Squats

Try this bodyweight squat: “Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes turned out slightly. Sit back with your hips and lower your body as far as you can without rounding your lower back. Push your knees out as you descend and keep your chest up. Pause for a moment and, pushing off your heels, straighten your legs as you return to the starting position. Focus on clenching and engaging your core; this is what supports your form in the squat,” says personal trainer Mark Langowski.

4. She Eats Lean Proteins

“Good sources of protein are poultry (25 grams in 3 ounces) and fish (20 grams in 3 ounces). Those who prefer to avoid meat can try soybeans (20 grams per cup) and legumes like beans, peanuts and chickpeas (about 15 grams per cup). Eggs, Greek yogurt, cheese and tofu are good sources, too,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Eats Her Vegetables

Vegetables provide essential nutrients and key fiber to keep things moving. Try watercress. “People don’t always know what to do with watercress, but this cruciferous veggie packs a serious punch. Watercress is a white crunchy veggie that has a mild flavor. Study after study is documenting watercress’ amazing benefits. Researchers are studying its potential in reducing smoking carcinogens, turning off breast cancer signals and alleviating physical stress from workouts,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Add it to salads or a stir fry, pairs well in Asian cuisine, or place it on top of a beautiful piece of wild fish.”

Eva Longoria isn't just a former Desperate Housewives star; she's an entrepreneurial force. And now she's headed to the Cannes Film Festival. "That was a long day of travel, but I haven't been in Cannes in so many years and I'm excited to be back," she said on social media, where she also just posted a photo of her in a bathing suit: "The calm before the storm."

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

When she was asked about her favorite food, Eva said "Does wine count?" 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.

Eva Longoria, actress and entrepreneur, is 47 years old and she works hard to stay fit. As if to prove it, Longoria spent a day at the beach, and broke out her bathing suit.

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

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

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.”
