1. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Jenna explains that her approach to fitness has changed over the past few decades and now in her 40s, “the focus is muscle training with Pilates, plus hiking with friends,” she said. “I’ve turned my garage into a gym. I do a lot of workouts off the Mirror [an interactive smart gym with real-time feedback] and I have a Soul Cycle bike. I also do regular privates over Zoom with my Pilates instructor, Kim Carruthers. She’s a secret weapon and how I keep my muscles where they should be.”

2. Exercise Helps with Her Anxiety

Jenna is all about the mental health benefits of exercise. “Sometimes I’ll have gone a few days [without a workout] and I wonder, ‘Why do I feel a bit more anxious than normal?’ [Then I realize] ‘Oh wait, you haven’t moved your body.’ I had two cesareans and that period of time where you’re not really walking well is difficult; my focus was on just surviving and taking care of my beautiful babies. But when I start to feel anxious, my first check-in with myself is, ‘When have you moved your body recently?’”

3. She’s All About Self-Care

Jenna pays attention to her cues -- especially when she starts experiencing anxiety -- and acts accordingly with self-care. “The things that help me are working out, moving, dancing, walking, getting fresh air or even taking 10 minutes to go in another room, to do anything, something just for yourself. I am also a huge fan of baths at night. That really helps me, locking everyone out of the bathroom for a bath all to myself with my oil and my salts and music to relax.”

4. She Eats Healthy Most of the Time

In a previous interview with Us she revealed that she eats healthy, most of the time! “I believe in eating 80/20,” she explained. “I do 80 percent as healthy as possible — vegetarian and vegan, as healthy as I can.” She fuels up on nutritious foods like “lots of vegetables and lots of smoothies” most of the time, allowing herself a little room to cheat. “And then 20 percent I’m eating Mexican food if I want it,” she said. “You know, I’ve gotta be able to indulge and have a glass of wine and feel good in that way, so that helps me not be so strict and so focused in one way.”

5. She Drinks Hot Water with Lemon

She also starts her day off with hot water and lemon as well as supplements. “I love healthy living,” she said. “I’ve taken quite a lot of supplements, I make quite a lot of smoothies. I’m, like, really about trying to keep myself in balance and healthy as much as possible.”

1. She Worked “Hard” For Her Body

In the new Instagram post, Jana explains that it isn’t a “thirst trap” photo, or an “I want attention post” or a “post to make you compare your body to mine,” but is more about her feeling proud of her body. “Because when I look at this photo, I see strength. If I’m honest, I lost a little too much weight after my divorce, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the number I saw. But that’s an unhealthy way to look at it. It should never be about the number. It should be about how you feel,” she explained. “I have been actively becoming strong again for me. I look at this pic now and I’m proud of myself for the hard work and commitment to loving myself. This body made two beautiful humans. I’m proud of my body." She mentioned feeling even better after her breast augmentation and promoted Natrelle Breast Augmentation.

2. She Works Out with a Trainer

The duo do “a ton of squats, sumo squats, lunges.”

Jana’s go to diet rule? “I personally think everything in moderation,” she revealed. “I had a chocolate chip cookie last night. I will eat another one tonight. I don’t think you should deprive yourself of anything. I think, eat when you are hungry. But all-around diet is how I do it.”

5. Exercise Boosts Her Mental Health

“Still not feeling 100 percent,” Jana explained earlier this year in an Instagram story video. “But I'm still going to run it out, sweat it out." She once explained to Us Weekly that the mental health benefits of exercise are a motivating factor. “Working out for me is my sanity…Even just going for a walk, that is a place where I come back and I'm like, 'I feel good, I feel balanced. Working out is 100% how I stay level."

Jenna genuinely enjoys how she feels when she eats vegan and clean. "I consider eating healthy a way of life because I feel better, plain and simple," she said. "I'm not a fan of dieting, which is why I choose to eat healthy most of the time. I keep it in balance, so I don't have to crash diet. When I want to splurge I allow myself and don't beat myself up—I just make a plan to eat extra healthy the next day or work out."

2. She Swears By Spirulina

Jenna finds ways to add greens into her diet as often as possible. She’ll opt for things like coriander and parsley or spirulina. "It is alkalizing, it is like superfood for your blood, your oxygen and your cells," she said. "It's amazing." "Spirulina — the superfood you may or may not have heard of — comes from a blue-green algae plant found in oceans and salty lakes. Lauded for centuries for its high nutritional value and health benefits, it’s not just a passing health fad," says the Cleveland Clinic.

3. Not Surprising, She Loves To Dance

Jenna was a back-up dancer before starring in Step Up and she still loves to dance today. "I like going to a fun, upbeat class with loud music, like dance cardio," she said. "I grew up dancing, so I generally push myself a bit harder when I'm around a crowd.”

4. She’s In Touch With Her Roots

She likes dabbling in healthy recipes connected to her heritage. "I'm part Lebanese—my dad's family—so I grew up with tabouli," she said. "It's my favorite. I like to make things that will keep for a couple of days, and I can just grab and go,” she said.

5. She Loves Green Smoothies

She makes concoctions in the blender that help her stay full, fit, and even keep her skin and hair healthy. Her go to mix contains greens like spinach and kale mixed with lemon, banana, maybe a little pear, apple, a drizzle of cod liver oil, black sesame seeds, and water. "There’s a reason your mom tried to get you to eat spinach. In light of what dark leafy greens have to offer for health, you might want to willingly eat them. The best of the bunch include spinach, kale and collard greens, and here’s why: Any dark green means the vegetable is packed full of vitamin A, an antioxidant that serves as a huge booster to the immune system and healthy cell growth," says the Mayo Clinic.
