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."
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."
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."

"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.
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.
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.
