1. She Prioritizes Her Ab Workouts, But Doesn’t Do Sit-ups Or Crunches

Berry’s abs have gotten praise, and for good reason. Berry toldWomen’s Health that she prioritizes her core workouts. However, she avoids certain ab exercises. "My average workout these days doesn't involve a single situp or crunch," Berry said. One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks. I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition. Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."

2. She Boxes

Berry does a lot of workouts, including boxing. "Boxing is still considered one of the best full-body workouts," she wrote on Instagram. "You'll sculpt every muscle and burn major calories and fat. It dramatically decreases stress levels, develops hand-eye coordination, and builds confidence and discipline. But most importantly... you'll never stop learning. I've been boxing for the past 10 years and regularly for the past three and I love that I always learn a new way to challenge myself and work new muscles."

3. She Does Yoga and Stretching

Berry is also a fan of doing yoga, and always makes sure to stretch. In an Instagram post, Berry is seen doing a shoulder stand pose. "After I work out, it's important for me to stretch and lengthen," she wrote. Fitness is not just about running, lifting and punching. For me, being athletic and super fit is also about being still, stretching and breathing. Including stretching in my fitness program helps my muscles stay long, limber, improves my mobility and range of motion, and most importantly, helps me avoid injuries."

4. She Takes Amino Acids

Berry’s personal trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, tells HollywoodLife that the actress takes amino acids. Thomas says she usually takes them in the morning and that, “She takes something called Master Amino Pattern by a company called Purium.” Thomas says that these have helped Berry out a lot. “Essentially it is the actual amino acids that build muscle, not the actual food source, because the food first needs to be converted into amino acids to create the muscle. If you imagine your body as a freeway system, these amino acids go straight onto the freeway. It’s the quickest way possible for your body to get these nutrients because nothing has to be digested. ”

5. She Intermittent Fasts

Berry revealed in a 2018 Instagram story that she intermittent fasts, and has found a lot of success with it. “I normally eat two meals a day,” Berry told her followers. “I normally skip breakfast and I sort of fast and I do my green drink or I do my bullet coffee.” Berry’s trainer, Peter Lee Thomas says the actress eats her first meal of the day after a workout. “Basically her breakfast and lunch combined,” Thomas told HollywoodLife. “She has that right after her workout because that is the best time to eat because your body is craving nutrients. The meal should be dense. A lot of the time she will have a steak with a big green salad and not butter lettuce, it has to be dark greens like spinach and kale. Or she will have shredded chicken over a dark green leafy salad. Or she might have two or three eggs, not egg whites, she eats the whole egg because the yolk is very important.”

6. She Is On The Keto Diet

Berry revealed on Instagram that she follows the famous Keto diet, and she has good reasons. Berry wrote, “Being diabetic most of my life, I have always had to take food very seriously. So for years, I have been following the keto or ketogenic diet.” Berry credits her Keto lifestyle, writing, “I hate the word “diet” so while you’ll see the word diet, just know I encourage you to think of it as a lifestyle change NOT A DIET! Keto is a very low-carb food plan which actually forces your body to burn fat like crazy. I also believe it’s been largely responsible for slowing down my aging process. The keto lifestyle offers so many benefits such as weight loss, (moms that’s how we get rid of our baby bellies), appetite control, more energy and better mental performance. If you’re like me, you can possibly reverse type 2 diabetes, you’ll experience better physical endurance, better skin and also less acne if that’s an issue. And it even helps control migraines!”

7. She Stays Hydrated

Berry makes sure to stay hydrated throughout the day. And she makes sure to start early. According to Berry’s trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, the actress will start her day with water. “First of all, Halle never eats breakfast,” he told HollywoodLife.com. “She starts her day with a big glass of water, about 8-12 oz., usually with a little lemon squeezed into it for flavor.”

Halle Berry and her boyfriend, Van Hunt, enjoyed a beach day together. She just shared an adorable photo of the couple on Instagram. In it, the couple embraced in front of the waves. She wore a black bathing suit, showing off her figure. Berry captioned the post, “All mine. Not Sharing.” How does she stay so fit?

4. She Puts MCT Oil In Coffee

Berry likes to put MCT oil when she has coffee. “The next thing she has is her coffee,” Thomas says to HollywoodLife. “In her coffee, she adds one to two tablespoons of MCT oil. MCT oil, or medium chain triglycerides, is a big deal for people that follow the ketogenic diet, that’s like the fountain of youth.”

5. She Limits Her Sugar Intake

Berry tells Women’s Health that she limits the amount of sugar she eats. "The only time I eat sweets these days is on my kids' birthdays,” she says. “And that's for them, not me! I'll snack on low-sugar fruits like blackberries and raspberries, but that's about it."

1. She Doesn’t Let Her Age Define Her

While Berry might look ageless, she says to WhoWhatWear.com that her age does not matter or define her. She also encourages other women to adapt this approach, especially because men don’t let their ages define them. "Age is just a number, and I have never felt defined by it," Berry says. "It is a bit frustrating that people want to place so much emphasis on the age of women. Somehow, it feels a bit degrading, like it puts us at a disadvantage. Men get older, and they get sexier, but women just get old. I think that the older we get, the better we become. We just have to convince ourselves of that fact because I absolutely believe it to be true!"

2. This is Why She is Committed to Wellness

"Being diagnosed with diabetes when I was 19—that was an aha moment that just changed my whole life," said Berry to BAZAAR.com. "When I realized that I had a disease that I could actually manage by my diet and exercise, and live longer and stay healthier? That's when I got really committed to making fitness and exercise and diet a real part of my life."

3. She Loves Martial Arts

For her Netflix movie Bruised, which she also directed, Berry told POPSUGAR that she did six different styles of martial arts, as well; as her usual yoga and Pilates “. . all of these disciplines I had to learn elements of in order to present myself, and to have one believe that I really was this world class fighter that had been doing it probably for most of my life. So I pushed myself harder than I think I've ever pushed myself. I know I trained more hours, probably six days a week, about four, five hours a day, for at least a good year in my life."

4. She Believes in the Power of Fitness at Home

Berry founded the wellness site Rē•spin. "During this pandemic over at Rē•spin and also with my trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, with our Fitness Fridays [on Instagram], we've been really trying to inspire people to work out at home," Berry told BAZAAR.com. "We've been telling them that you don't have to have a big membership to stay healthy, and stay well, and stay fit and strong."

5. She is Trying to Dioversify the Wellness Space

"I don't know if we've always been provided ways that we can stay fit and be well within a means that's affordable. I think for so long people thought, 'You have to have a trainer. You have to have a gym membership. You have to have all this equipment. You have to eat certain meals. That costs a certain amount,'" said Berry to Harper’s. "I think we've talked ourselves out of being fit, sometimes, because we think it's something that's unobtainable or not affordable. I do like FitOn for that reason, because we are learning that it is affordable, it is manageable, and anybody can do it. You just have to have the will and the desire. And you have to make up your mind that it's important. That's the hard work that people have to do."

Berry tells Marie Claire that she doesn’t eat until the last afternoon. “I stopped eating breakfast over 20 years ago. Everybody needs to break their fast from the night at different times, and so I've learned to really listen to my own body and not follow those conventional thoughts that, ‘Oh, breakfast is the best meal.’ The best meal is whenever you break fast. And for me, that's around 2:00 p.m. every day.”

3. She Loves Healthy Coffee

Some days it's working with light weights. Sometimes it's calisthenics, sometimes it's yoga, sometimes it's Pilates. I just recently got a Pilates machine at home, which I love, love, love. Sometimes it's that. I just try to mix it up. I think our bodies get used to the same exercises. So for me, it's always been important to do different things all the time.”

Berry revealed some of her favorite beauty products in an interview with WhoWhatWear. She says that she make sure to take care of her hair. Berry says that she likes to use hair masks, and names her favorite one in the interview. “For your hair, Virtue," says Berry. "Get this recovery mask. We've got to care about our hair.
