Melissa Joan Hart In Workout Gear Lifts Weights At the Gym

‘90s teen queen Melissa Joan Hart is killing it at the gym—and the results speak for themselves. Hart, 48, shared a video of herself wearing green pants and a black tank top, lifting weights at the gym. “Getting stronger every day feels amazing! Hit a goal at @bft_brentwood in my military barbell press! 5 reps at 75lbs. Woohoo!!” she captioned the inspiring post. “Dang!!! 75lbs you go!!! I’m not there yet but working on it 👊🏼” commented Candace Cameron Bure. Hart is getting fitter and stronger with every year that passes—here’s how she does it.

1. Social Workouts

Hart loves working out with friends and family. "I make it a social event,” she told Us Weekly. “I chitchat with friends on walks or run with my husband," Hart reveals of her fitness routine. "It's so nice not to be busting out of things or having to wear undergarments to keep things in. I feel good!"

2. Busy Moms Relate

Hart says she has less time for self-care as a middle-aged busy mom. “During the Sabrina years, I had a lot of time for self care, and now I’m trying to squeeze it in,” she told New Beauty. “But it’s funny because I also wore a lot more makeup back then and it was every day, so I think my face care routine has actually gotten simpler over the years. It used to be so complex. I also used to work out diligently when I had the time. Then that went away. I’m back on a great workout program now, though.”

3. She’s a Bookworm

Hart loves to read. “I’m reading two because we recently moved and I haven’t been able to finish them up. ‘The Great Alone’ by Kristin Hannah is about a family who moves to Alaska,” she told Apartment Therapy. “She has a book called ‘The Nightingale’ and I’m obsessed with her writing, it’s so descriptive. My husband and I are also reading ‘The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work,’ it’s really helpful when you’ve been married a long time to rethink how you see each other.”

4. Fan Support

Hart loves the support she gets from her fan base, especially in relation to weight fluctuations and aging. “There’s this nice thing about people that have grown up with me,” she told New Beauty. “While they don’t want me to be older—they all freaked out when I was playing a grandma in a movie last year—they don’t want me to get older because it means they’re older, but they’re still nice to me. I think they’re about it because they’re going through it. It’s relatable. I think everyone else is going through the same things, whether it’s perimenopause or starting to head towards menopause if you grew up at the same time as me. It’s an interesting experiment.”

5. Advice For Younger Generation

Hart says if she could give her sons one piece of wisdom, it’s to be fearless. “Learning to be okay with yourself is huge because then what you think about yourself won’t be dependent on how other people feel about you,” she told New Beauty. I feel like it’s common, especially growing up in the arts, for kids to need validation, but if you’re comfortable with yourself and comfortable in your own skin, you won’t need all that. And just be nice to people. Even if they’re not nice to you back, if you’re nice to people nothing else matters.”

In the previous Instagram post, Sheldon is seen lifting weights to work her upper body. Lifting weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

5. She Does Short, Effective Workouts

When it comes to working out, sometimes Sheldon goes for ones that are quick and effective. She shared one of her circuits in this Instagram video. Sheldon captioned it, “15 Minute Workout & all you need is ➡️ 3 Exercises & 2 Dumbbells 😮‍💨Short and sharp workout when you’re low on time: Inch worms/ inch worm press ups. Squat to press. Reverse lunges. 10 reps on each (lunges 10 reps each leg). 4 rounds ✅”

Lisa Lanceford is a fitness coach, influencer, and podcaster. She recently shared a video on Instagram of herself at the gym. In it, she is seen doing exercises like bicep curls, lateral pulldowns, and dual pulley rows. Lanceford captioned the post, “Anytime I can get out to the gym is a massive win for me! It’s 40 degrees & over here in Dubai, so being able to go outside hasn’t been on the cards for months now! 😩 looking forward to going back to the UK for a bit to be able to walk outside in the fresh air (& rain 😅🙄). Ps Remember not to make assumptions off of a 15 sec - 1 min video.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lisa Lanceford stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Lanceford is seen using weights. Strength training has a lot of benefits, according to The Mayo Clinic. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

2. She Does Hip Thrusts

Lanceford shared some of her lower body exercises in this Instagram post. In it, she is seen doing hip thrusts. Lanceford captioned the post, “Added some hip thrusts in this week for the first time in 8 months! They felt really good but didn’t feel as natural as usual 😅 but I can feel myself getting stronger by the week 😌 to think I was nearly hitting 175kg this time last year, that seems crazy to me now!”

3. She Does Squats

In the previous Instagram post, Lanceford is seen doing squats. The Mayo Clinic reports that squats are a great workout with a lot of benefits. “The squat is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the squat targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles. Strengthening these muscles can help protect your knees and boost your performance in a variety of sports.”

4. She Works Her Shoulders

Lanceford works out her entire body, including her shoulders. She shared some of her favorite exercises in this post on Instagram.

90s icon Melissa Joan Hart is all about balance these days—she works hard but knows when to relax. Hart, 48, shared a picture of herself wearing leggings and a white tank top with the words” Squats and Margaritas” on it. “Did my squats at @bft_brentwood… now for the margarita!” she wrote on the Instagram story. Hart has been steadily working since her Sabrina the Teenage Witch days and shows no sign of slowing down. Here’s how this mom-of-three she stays happy, healthy, and fit.

1. She Takes the Stairs

Hart tries to go the extra mile to keep her mind and body sharp. “I just think our society is making us cut corners where it feels like we’re not doing what we’re capable of,” she told Scary Mommy. “Even stairs used to be a modern convenience; now we’re taking the escalator. I notice that all the time. There are escalators everywhere now. I always take the stairs.”

2. Always Working

Hart is proud to have steady work, even if it’s not something people might know about. “I put it on my social media, but unless you’re following me, you really have no idea,” she told Glamour. “I’m proud to say in the last year I directed more than I acted. Of course naysayers say, “You disappeared! You’re not working anymore!” I’m like, “Well, actually, I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing, and what I always dreamt for myself at an older age in this industry.”

3. Embracing Motherhood

Hart is embracing life with three children. “There's something about getting older and just maturing, accepting. This is who I am. It’s OK,” she told Scary Mommy. “I have a little belly on me. And I think for every child you have, you’re allowed to be 10 minutes late. So I’m allowed to be 30 minutes late. Parenting is hard, right? As moms, aren’t we told… What’s the Barbie quote about doing it all and not doing it well? You have to be perfect, but you’re not perfect. Yet at the same time, we are capable of a lot more than we give ourselves credit for.”

4. Life After Sabrina

Hart says she was inspired by Shirley Temple to go from child star to successful working adult. “When I was a young teen, I was really aware of the child-star stigma,” she told Glamour. “People will hit it big for one project, and then it’s really hard to work after that. I never expected this to be a lifelong job. I just thought I was lucky I had a show, Clarissa, and that college would lead me to my next career.”

5. Keep Moving

Hart believes any movement is good for you. “It’s really important to take care of your diet, to drink your water and to make sure you get some exercise every day,” she told Us Weekly. “I try to do little things around the house.”

Jennie Garth is best known, and forever beloved, for her role as Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills, 90210. She would reprise her role in the sequel series, 90210.

Last month, Garth shared a video of herself working out with her trainer on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Recently my workouts have been the main thing keeping me grounded. Movement always allows me to reset my mind while taking care of my body. A good workout always clears my head!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jennie Garth stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Strength Trains

Garth is also seen using hand weights to do bicep curls to a shoulder press and twists with a press in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

2. She Does Lunges

In her Instagram video, Garth is seen doing lunges with her trainer. ACE Fitness states that lunges have a lot of benefits. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”

3. She Does TRX

Garth shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing TRX workouts. Garth captioned the post, “Happy Monday! Here’s some Monday motivation for you. It can be hard to push yourself sometimes, so if you need a helping hand, here you are. 😘Let’s get it!” The YMCA of Greater Whittier says TRX has a lot of benefits. “Unlike some workouts that target specific muscle groups, TRX engages the entire body. From core-stabilizing exercises to upper and lower body movements, TRX ensures a comprehensive workout in every session.”

4. She Uses The Elliptical

In the previous Instagram post, Garth is seen on the elliptical. The Hospital for Special Surgery states that the elliptical has a lot of benefits. “Elliptical machines are a bit like the Swiss Army knives of the gym. The forward-and-back motion of their pedals simulates walking or jogging, while the up-down movement is akin to a stair climber. Meanwhile, the arm attachments provide the arms, chest and shoulders with a muscle-building workout.”

5. She Makes Time For Herself

Garth is all about self-care. She talked about this in the caption of the Instagram post. “When I don’t have time to get to a workout I’ll always try to do some kinda self care to shake any stress off,” she wrote. “Like going for a walk, hanging out with my girls or simply trying to do nothing (harder than it sounds). 😩 What does self care look like for you?”
