1. Exercise

Max, who became a mom in 2020, started exercising almost immediately post birth. “I started working out as soon as my midwife allowed me to, which was somewhere between two to four weeks,” the actress told Preview.

2. Mix Up Your Workouts

Max switches up her workouts. For example, when she started working out again she did pilates for one hour, three times a week, and then moved on to other higher-impact exercises. “I'm so happy to be lifting weights again, doing circuit training and cycling,” she added to Preview. “I started cycling 20-45 minutes a day. I'd alternate between cycling and pilates." Now her workout is circuit training and weight-lifting for 45 minutes five times a week and pilates for one hour, two times a week.

3. Exercise More Than Once in a Day

If Max feels like it, she will work out more than once a day. "Some days I’ll do two workouts and some days I just won't work out! Listen to your body, be mindful of when you can push harder and when you need rest,” she told Preview.

4. Eat Healthy

Max revealed everything she eats in a day to Preview. She starts with whole wheat toast, eggs, and black coffee for breakfast. For lunch, “some kind of protein like chicken or bangus and brown rice. Sometimes canned tuna or salmon cooked in olive oil and garlic,” she continued. For dinner, she likes to eat salad. “I also try to lower my processed food intake and stop eating after 7 p.m.,” she continued. "I'll have something sweet at some point in the day when I crave sweets. Usually, I eat a piece of dark chocolate, or vegan ice cream on special days. If you want to drink alcohol once in a while, prosecco is low in sugar, so that's what I drink!"

5. Prioritize Self-Care

Max prioritizes “For me, it’s really all about taking care of myself mentally, physically and emotionally. All of that is important,” she told Philstar. “That includes working out every day, taking my supplements and meditating. Because I do all those things regularly, I think, the glow comes out more often.”

1. She Loves To Swim

Colby is an accomplished underwater swimmer. "Every time I go for a swim I feel like the earth and my incredible swim colleagues have enabled me to have experienced something pretty amazing," says Dr Jenny Martin, a physician and clinical pharmacologist at the University of Newcastle. "You get a release of hormones that make you feel good, like the molecules that are in morphine drugs, and other feel-good hormones like serotonin, dopamine. After an ocean swim in winter, you sometimes get a temporary natural high when you get out … definitely a euphoric feeling."

2. Paddle Boarding

Colby shares her adventures with paddle boarding on her social media. “I had a breakthrough today with @rinconpaddleboards I have never been able to root myself properly for longer duration. I could get up but it didn’t last long,” she says. “Damiano took the time during our private lesson to break down every detail of what’s happening on the board, in the water and in my body and how to respond for more stability. I have a long way to go and needs to stay lower and work on arm placement but I felt so happy with today’s lesson🎉 I always Learn so much.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Colby is a professional dancer, something she says changed her life from day one. “I discovered Burlesque in Chicago quite some time ago, years and years ago- I was addicted from the first show,” she says. “There’s something very empowering about Burlesque. I started learning right away, I started performing way too soon! There’s some great video footage to prove that. But it’s all been a really fun journey, even watching old videos, it’s cool to see how much more at ease I am with myself and with my audience. But it’s funny, I have maintained the same lumbering stance since I started. There’s nothing delicate about me on stage, I just throw my guts out there and then I walk away and let people sort out what they saw.”

4. Mental Health and Confidence

Colby says giving back to the community is one of the best ways to gain happiness and confidence. “My advice, for what it’s worth… If you’re trying to gain or regain confidence, don’t do it through Burlesque,” she says. “Help in your community, educate yourself, travel, find where your real strength lies.”

5. Embracing Her Unique Looks

Colby is famous for her many tattoos, something she considers a “storyline” for her life. “I don’t think I took collecting tattoos seriously at first,” she says. “I mean my first tattoo was an LBT tribal tramp stamp of a butterfly…Ha! I have definitely acquired some more impressive tattoos since then but I collect them for the story. I’m not afraid of people judging the work I have on my body, it’s a storyline for myself. I love it when my friends work on me, I love to collect the memories, I cannot have an artist work on me that I don’t feel close with. I have to feel a sense of kinship I’ve been very fortunate to find that across-the-board with my tattoo artists.”

Here’s that one time I hiked up Camelback Mountain with the absolute wrong shoes, not enough water, and no hiking gear. This experience was full of dehydration, sweating, swelling (yes my fingers became extremely large and my rings got stuck on my hands), and seeing throw up on every other rock. Although it was a rough experience, we were able to get to the top, and it was beautiful. Not sure how this was possible but hey, at least I didn’t have a heat stroke. Camelback = 1, Alexa = 0.”
