Lana Condor is living it up in Italy – in her swimsuit.

How does the actress keep herself so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lana Condor stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Hydrates

“I also drink at least half my body weight, in ounces, of water every day,” she told E! about the importance of hydration. “Staying hydrated is such a must- and I genuinely feel better when my body is fully hydrated.” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

2. She Does HIIT Workouts

Lana trains with Paolo Mascittii who works out with her at the gym five days a week, guiding her with cardio and high-intensity interval training like squats and lunges. While her workouts are grueling, “it's worth it, because now I have a booty,” she told Self. They also do exercises with a slam ball. “I hate it, but it's very effective,” she said. “If I'm having a bad day or I have a little aggression, slamming that ball down on the ground really helps me. It always makes me feel a lot better when it's finished.” There is a lot of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

3. She Prioritizes Mental Health

Mental health comes first, says Lana. “If my body is so sore and I need a day off, he's so understanding about that,” she said. “My mental health is the priority, and my mental health is always better when I am active. But sometimes when your body hurts, you're like, I can't do anything, I don't want to get up. And so he's very patient. If there's a day that I feel the need to be a little bit more gentle with myself, he's great.”

4. She Enjoys Group Fitness

Lana appreciates exercise classes. “I always do a little bit better in a class setting or in-person, just because I think that I have a competitive nature in workout classes,” she told Self. “So I feel like I can really hit it hard.” Pilates, boxing, and hot yoga sculpt classes are a few classes she likes.

5. She Eats in Moderation

Lana’s approach to diet is “to eat what makes you happy,” she told Bon Appetit. Her theory? Eat what you want but in moderation. “I’ve tried to take away noodles in my life, and it just doesn’t work—I’m miserable! I always think to myself, ‘Well, I could starve myself and go on a diet and be fucking miserable. But what if I die in a plane crash? Or, what if I have the most amazing meal of my life, and then I could still die in a plane crash, but at least I'd have a happy belly!”

I also feel like pleasure reading everyday keeps your brain active and your body calm. I also drink at least half my body weight, in ounces, of water every day. Staying hydrated is such a must- and I genuinely feel better when my body is fully hydrated. And I two walks a day, with my puppy, is always a must. Of course, for Emmy, but also to keep my body active and fresh air always makes me feel better. Some days, when I am having a really hard time waking up, I'll go on an early chilly walk with Emmy and it sets such an awesome energized tone for the rest of my day,” she told E! Online.

“Honestly, my favorite way to break a sweat right now is playing VR. We got a virtual reality headset, right as everything was shutting down, and it's been AMAZING during quarantine. There are so many games that make you work up a sweat and it's so awesome. I am genuinely so sore after I play,” she told E! Online.

3. She Tried Zumba During the Pandemic

“Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. Zumba routines incorporate interval training — alternating fast and slow rhythms — to help improve cardiovascular fitness,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Zumba is an aerobic activity that can count toward the amount of aerobic activity recommended for most healthy adults by the Department of Health and Human Services. The guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. But even small amounts of physical activity are helpful. Being active for short periods of time throughout the day can add up to provide health benefits.”

4. She Has a Trainer Who Gets Her

But sometimes when your body hurts, you're like, I can't do anything, I don't want to get up. And so he's very patient. If there's a day that I feel the need to be a little bit more gentle with myself, he's great.”

“Whenever [her boyfriend] Anthony [de la Torre] and I finish a workout or finish doing something that will better our physical bodies or our mind, he makes us clap and validate ourselves. We put on... I think it's called ‘Celebration,’” from Kool and the Gang, she tells Bustle. “He puts on ‘Celebration’ on speakers around the house. We're supposed to celebrate ourselves for 30 seconds or a minute because, he says, you have to tell yourself to celebrate these small steps that you've taken to take care of yourself. So when I finish working out, we clap and dance. It’s awesome.”

7. This is Her Wind-Down Routine

“I’m the type of person who works out in the morning to get it over with, because I know that when I get home, I just want to take a bath and eat some pasta and watch a show. So that’s what I do. Anthony… and I have been doing these incredible magnesium CBD baths every night. That’s been really amazing for my muscles because I’ve been working out more to get ready for my next movie. With everything our bodies have gone through in the past year, it really is so important to tell your muscles that it's OK to relax and to let your body heal. So I highly recommend tub time,” she tells Bustle.

Camila Mendes recently shared a swimsuit photo with the caption "Lost at Sea," radiating a healthy glow.

“One time I met a fan on an airplane,” she told InStyle. “I think we were both coming back from Brasília, which is where my parents are from in Brazil. She and I were both headed back to LA and she came up to me when I was in line to get on the flight and then we found out that we were sitting next to each other and we ended up talking for the entire, I dunno, eight hour flight. I can't remember how long it was, but she and I talked about how we both had body image issues and how she also struggled with an eating disorder and how I helped her accept herself and she expressed her appreciation for the things I've spoken about and shared her story and it was really emotional and she's still a friend that I keep in touch with sometimes.”

2. She Uses Skin Masks

Mendes uses Loop skin masks. “I use them all the time. For me, I am somebody who's always struggled to find masks that fit on my face with loops. It actually just sticks on your face so well, and you can do laundry and talk on the phone and I don't know, you can do cartwheels if you want. You can literally do anything while wearing a Loops mask. And on top of that, it's really good skincare and the way that we weave it into a sort of daily skincare routine just makes it really convenient to use and very effective,” she told InStyle.

3. Speak Up For Yourself

In Hollywood, she has learned “that nobody's going to look after you except yourself and you got to look out for yourself. You got to stand up for yourself and if you have a problem, speak up. Just do it respectfully and with grace. That's it,” she told InStyle.

4. She Remembers Her Riverdale Audition

For her Riverdale audition, “I was the very last person they were seeing and I managed to squeeze in an audition and I got there 30 minutes late. My hair was frizzy. It was raining that day. I remember the casting director telling me, she's like, ‘You're a little matte right now. At CW, we're glossy.’ It's glossy lips. Cheeks are glowing. She's like, so come back a few days from now. Then they brought me back for a producer audition,” she told Stephen Colbert. Her friend did her makeup to make her look “glowy, like she just came out of the womb.”

5. She Does Pilates

Pilates offers numerous health benefits tailored to women's well-being. This low-impact exercise enhances core strength, promoting better posture and reducing back pain common in females. By focusing on controlled movements and breathing, Pilates cultivates flexibility, aiding in muscle tone without bulk. Women also benefit from improved joint mobility and balance, which becomes increasingly important with age. Stress reduction is another advantage, as Pilates encourages mindfulness and relaxation. Whether aiming to regain pre-pregnancy fitness or boost overall vitality, women find Pilates a versatile solution, enhancing physical resilience and mental equilibrium simultaneously.
