She Moves Mountains
Jessica does everything from calming, strengthening yoga to hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro to bring attention to the global water crisis. Regardless of what exercise she's prioritizing at the moment, the actress puts her athleticism first according to her interview with the Los Angeles Times. "I did a lot of walking with a 30-pound backpack on an incline. I also tried to spend as much time in altitude as I possibly could, which was really key. Altitude really affects you in weird ways."
Healthy Habits Were Ingrained at a Young Age
Her love of sports came as she was growing up when she did gymnastics, soccer, dance, and more. She even partially owes her relaxed demeanor in front of the camera to being comfortable in her own skin and gaining confidence through sports as a child. "I'm aware of how my muscles feel, what it feels like when anything changes. Playing sports and being physical helps me maintain that sort of relationship with my own body. So when I'm doing something or performing in a physical role, I understand that," Jessica explained to ESPN.
A Body in Motion Stays in Motion
Jessica is always in motion, from her workouts, to floor exercises like headstands and squats, to hiking in Hollywood with her family. The Fitness Reaper broke down her routine, and if she's not working out, she's doing fun, but active, activities with friends or family, running to appointments, and outside moving around. She's training using different cardio techniques involving high intensity interval training, squats, jumps, and more drills to chisel her body.
She Focuses on a Wide Variety of Workouts
"Yoga's not about competition,"Jessica said. "And I think so many of these fitness routines that we love, like classes, whether it's on a bike or it's a circuit thing, or whatever it is, I feel like you're always kind of being compared to your neighbor, like 'Come on! Let's do it!' and everyone's yelling at you or screaming at you, and that's great, and that's fun sometimes. But when you're on your mat, it's you, and that's it." With yoga, she also adds in some resistance training to build up strength and balance.
She Lives an Active Lifestyle
More times than not when you read about the stars and their fitness habits, it's a grueling process. For Jessica, it is really a way of life that she actually enjoys doing. In addition to running and circuit strength training, Jessica prioritizes fun games with her friends like beach volleyball or even football as a way to stay active and socialize.
