Jordana is a fan of al fresco workouts. "I like working out outside, and I love doing the Santa Monica Stairs; it’s one of my favorite things to do because I love the challenge. I love hiking outdoors," she told Popsugar. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

2. She Works Out Almost Every Day

"I work out six days a week," Jordana revealed to Hollywood Life. "I like to change up my workout so I never get bored." She also loves dance fitness. "Once a week, I take a class at Body by Simone,” she said. “I love dance classes and body sculpting classes. It's just fun to get in a room and dance and listen to good music."

Jordana rises and exercises. “I get up at, like, 5:15 a.m. every morning to run. I like treadmills—it hurts my knees too much to run outside. [My mom] is still a member at [a gym]. She’s in her mid-60s, and she works out. So I really got that from her, and I still defer to her,” she told Health.

4. She Eats Clean

Jordana eats incredibly healthy. “I try to eat as natural as possible, and I try to eat organic,” she told Hollywood Life. “I also try to avoid processed food.” Another things she tries to stay away from? Sugar.

5. She Doesn’t Drink Smoothies or Juice

Jordana doesn’t drink her calories. "I hate smoothies, and I hate juices," she revealed to Health. "I like chewing. So I steam tons of vegetables and add avocado. And then I have soup with chicken or salmon for at least one of my meals. And then I'm getting all my vegetables in one meal, and I don't really have to worry about it after that. So it's about checking in and making sure you're living as balanced a life as possible."

Jordana Brewster took the weekend off from saving the world with her pals from Fast & Furious to take a break in a red bikini. “Saturday,” she captioned the photo simply. How does the mother of two—who appeared in six Fast movies and had a hilarious part on The Other Two—stay so fit after 40?

1. Here’s Her Take on Inner-Beauty

“I drink a ton of water, I try really hard to limit sugar, and I eat lots of vegetables,” Brewster told the New Potato. “I also sweat every day by running, lifting weights or doing circuit training. I practice meditation twice a day, which helps to calm me down and keep perspective.”

2. This is Her Training Regimen

“I’m very old-school when it comes to the gym. I have a treadmill and a little gym at home, so I like to get up early and work out. I’ll do cardio six days a week, and I really like weight training and boxing…it’s a great way to get all your stress out. I actually like it when my muscles ache and when I’m sore,” she told Men’s Fitness. “I’ve also been working with trainer Harley Pasternak for more than a decade, and he’s given me a great program. I work two different muscle groups per day, even if it’s 15 minutes. I love doing deadlifts and squats. I’ll use a TRX for pullups and hamstring curls, and medicine balls for abs work. I like mixing it up.”

3. She Once Said This is Her Perfect Day of Eating

“For breakfast, four shots of espresso over ice from Starbucks, and a homemade healthy breakfast sandwich consisting of a Thomas English Muffin, a slice of turkey bacon, egg whites, tomato and avocado,” she once told the New Potato. “For lunch, the chopped salad from La Scala or a Barney’s Beach Body Salad (Grilled chicken, beets, avocado) with a side of curly fries. For dinner, Craig’s Tito’s vodka martini and chocolate pizza.”

4. Here’s How She Got Through Quarantine

“I’m very lucky in that I’ve been doing FaceTime workouts with my trainer, Harley [Pasternak]. I also go on hikes, which is really nice. I need to get steps in. I need to be outside and breathing fresh air. I’m so lucky that I live in L.A., where I can do that, because otherwise I would go absolutely stir-crazy,” she told Health.

5. Here’s Her Take on Turning 40

“I really do see it as I’m so grateful to be here. I’m so grateful. I have two boys, and I’m still working. Thank God most of the women I look up to—like Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchett—are over 40 and are still working and thriving. So I feel like the only way to go is up from here,” she told Health.

6. She Meditates

“I also like to do meditation and get myself outside for a workout—like hikes or going to the Santa Monica stairs. I think these days everyone’s so glued to their phone, and it’s so hard to be present and focused. Twice a day I practice vedic meditation [a type of meditation during which you take 20 minutes to focus on a specific mantra or sound—perfect for busy people], and it really helps me stay calm, have more patience with my kids, and be more present at work. It just gives me bandwidth. It allows me to recharge. It’s a necessity,” she told Men’s Journal.
