1. She Uses Sunblock

Longoria has amazing skin. She has been a spokesperson for several different skin and beauty brands. She shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Prevention.com. “First and foremost, I’m a big sunblock user,” she says. “If you’re talking about skincare you have to use sunblock.” "Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. Daily use of sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher can reduce your risk of skin cancer. You can slash your risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, by 50%. And you can decrease the risk of the most common skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, by 40%," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Doesn’t Get Facials

While some people might think facials are healthy, Longoria is not one of them. She explained to Prevention.com. “A lot of the time people think facials are so relaxing, but they’re not. They’re painful, they sting...you could do a peel, you could do extractions. I hate going to get a facial because it’s like tugging and pulling and peeling and things but it’s necessary.”

3. She Focuses On Health, Not Her Looks

After her divorce, Longoria struggled with her health, which led to her losing a lot of weight. "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. Now, Longoria says that she doesn’t focus on her looks, and aims to live as healthily as she can. "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."

4. She Does Different Exercises

Longoria is a great cook, and she says that she loves to cook with veggies. "I could easily be a vegetarian because I love vegetables so much," 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."

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."

"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.

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.

Eva Longoria is a Hollywood powerhouse. She’s an actress, best known for her role on the TV series Desperate Housewives. She’s a producer, and has produced the TV series, Devious Maids, and the films Food Chains and The Harvest. Last year, Longoria made her directorial debut on the film Flamin’ Hot. She also stays super fit at age 49: Longoria recently took up padel, and shared a photo on her Instagram story of herself on the court. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Eva Longoria stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Prioritizes Wellness

For Longoria, being healthy means prioritizing her fitness and her diet. She tells Vogue, “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. It depends, I’ll do a cleanse to feel better, but I’ll do no sugar to lose weight, or I’ll do vegan to lean out. Everything has a different reaction.”

2. She Works Out Early

Longoria tells ELLE that she makes working out a regular activity. She says that her secret is getting it done first thing in the morning. “We tend to overthink our workout routine—‘I don’t have a gym membership, I don’t have equipment at home,’—you don’t need anything to be active. Moving your body is a start. Wake up an hour earlier and go to the gym. I promise you’re gonna have way more time during the day because it just energizes you and your brain in a very different way than if you don’t.”

3. She Keeps Her Skin Hydrated

Longoria shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Glamour. She says that she makes sure to keep her skin hydrated, and shared her favorite products for doing so. “I remember doing a commercial with L'Oréal's Revitalift Triple Power Anti-Aging Moisturizer, this cream that has vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. It's plumping—I was like, Oh my God, it's one cream with everything. I use it at night as the last product in my skin care routine. I love that it is has three: hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and pro-retinol. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated.”

4. She Uses Skincare Tools

Longoria shared her favorite facial tools with Glamour. “Right now, I'm very much into the Facify Beauty Wand, which is this face massager. It has these rotating balls, you turn it on, and it vibrates, rotates, heats up, and cools. It's this great little machine. I use it every day, especially when I'm shooting, and it just gets the blood flowing. You're doing a facial massage, like doing the work of gua sha but easier because these balls are electronic and they're moving for you. And then I'm using the Lyma Laser lately. Oh my God, I noticed such a difference. Those two have been my go-tos.”

5. She Plays Padel

As you can see from her Instagram story, Longoria likes to play padel. According to LTA.org, the sport has a lot of benefits. “It’s a full-body workout that keeps you moving from beginning to end – helping to improve your endurance, cardiovascular health and prevent health risk factors in the future. It involves plenty of running, movement from side-to-side and quick changes of direction and will help you build your speed and strength. Like tennis, while improving your overall aerobic fitness so you can run for longer, padel also helps you build muscle with short and explosive movements to benefit your anaerobic fitness.”

Eva Longoria is showing off her forever young figure in a swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the actress and director shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit, posing on the beach with her pals. “Beach day,” she captioned the Instagram Stories photo. How does the actress manage to look as good at 48 as she did at 28? In a recent interview, she revealed all of her secrets to longevity.

1. She Takes “Advantage” of Anti-Aging “Tecnology”

In a recent interview with Reader’s Digest’s The Healthy, Eva was asked about the secret to her longevity. “Nobody is going to beat aging. I’m not doing any anti-aging things. But as you go along life, the technology has been so amazing in the last decade in regards to skincare, and healthcare, and just taking care of your bodies, that why not take advantage of that technology? A lot of women want to feel good in their skin. And so what happened with me was I had Santi, and I gave myself a lot of time to be grateful to my body for producing a human being. So I wasn’t rushing to get back to the way I was before, or How fast is she going to bounce back? and all that. So he was almost a year old by the time I go, ‘OK, let me get back into my workout routine.’ And then it was years later after I was working out regularly eating well, sleeping well, doing everything right, that I finally go, ‘Oh, I still have this saggy skin that I want to tighten up. How do you do that?’ And I was talking to a mommy friend of mine and she was like, ‘Oh honey, you should do Morpheus8.’ And I was like, ‘What? What is that?’ And she said, ‘Oh, it’s this radio frequency that tightens the stomach, or face, or arms, or whatever, and it tightens the skin, and it tells your stomach to wake up and start making collagen again.’ And I was like, ‘Oh wow.’”

2. She Works Out Almost Every Day for Her “Mental Health”

Eva maintains that exercise is not just for her physical health. “I work out five, six times a week, but my workouts are my mental health hour. I really need that energy and endorphins in the morning to really function throughout the day. So I love that it obviously has great side effects of being in shape, but for me it really clears my mind and I’m a better mom, and I’m a better businesswoman, and I’m a better wife because I get those endorphins first thing in the morning,” she told The Healthy.

3. She Loves Her Trampoline Workouts

“So I started coming out of postpartum with bouncing. I love my trampoline workouts because it’s high-intensity but low-impact, and I don’t have the best knees. And I was like, “I can’t run anymore. What could I do that gets that sweat but isn’t so impactful on my body?” Bouncing on the trampoline was amazing. And it’s also great for your mind. It’s a lot of mental gymnastics as well with sequencing, and memorization, and it’s like a dance routine, and so it’s creative. I mean, it was really servicing everything I was looking for at the time,” she told The Healthy.

4. She Also Lifts Weights

Eva uses weight training as a “supplement” to her jumping. “I do a lot of weight training with my trainer,” she said.

5. She Meditates

Eva maintains that “meditating” is another crucial health habit. “It’s just lifesaving, and I only do it five minutes a day. It’s not like I do an hour of meditation. No, sometimes I do it two minutes … but I do it,” she told The Healthy. “It grounds you in your day. I do all these guided meditations.”
