Reese Witherspoon has been in the public eye since she made her acting debut in 1991 in The Man in the Moon, a coming-of-age drama that was critically acclaimed, and earned accolades for the actress. And while she's obviously aged up from kid parts into adult roles, most recently in The Morning Show opposite Jennifer Aniston, the Oscar winner has always looked fantastic. CelebWell spoke with experts who break down her health routine and explain why it works. Read on to see 5 ways Reese Witherspoon stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Eats Whole Foods

In several interviews throughout the years, Witherspoon has revealed what she typically eats and she includes plenty of whole foods in her diet like grilled chicken, lentils and kale salads. Dr. Jinan Banna, PhD, RD., a registered dietitian and professor of nutrition, says, "One of the ways whole foods help you lose weight is by providing fiber. Fiber is found in foods like fruit, vegetables, whole grains and beans. It helps you stay full and prevents overeating. You should incorporate whole foods like apples, asparagus, whole wheat bread, and black beans. These are just a few examples."

2. Has Cheat Days

While the 45-year-old does normally eat clean and healthy, she does allow exceptions for her favorites like spicy fried chicken every now and then, Hello! reports. Banna explains, "Rather than saying it's ok to have a cheat day, I would say it is just fine to include foods like desserts or salty snacks. Changes that are too drastic might not help you to change your lifestyle in a way that works for you. Start by looking at your current habits and foods you like and focus on making sure you can still eat what makes you happy and also keeps you healthy. This will ensure that you can sustain your diet."

3. She Eats Plenty of Fresh Veggies

According to Hello!, The Morning Show star eats lots of veggies with dinner. Reda Elmardi, a Registered Dietician, certified nutritionist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Trainer, and owner of thegymgoat.com says, "Vegetables are a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients that can keep you feeling full and satisfied while helping you maintain a healthy weight. Here's how eating vegetables every day can benefit your health:

  • Eating fruits and vegetables helps you feel fuller longer, making it easier to eat fewer calories throughout the day.
  • Vegetables contain loads of water and fiber, keeping you hydrated and regular.
  • They're loaded with vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, C, K, B6, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, thiamine, zinc, and many others.
  • Antioxidants in vegetables protect against cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic diseases."

4. She Does Yoga

Celebrity yoga instructor Kirschen Katz told POPSUGAR, the A-lister does 30 minutes of yoga before a big award show. According to Matt Gehlbach, a certified ISSA and NASM personal trainer with Garagegymfit.org, "Yoga is a great thing to include in your workout routine because it helps you to connect your body and mind, and it teaches you how to breathe deeply. When you're working out, it's important to focus on your body and what it's doing. Yoga can help you do that by teaching you how to control your breathing and connect your mind with your body. This type of connection can help you stay focused during workouts, prevent injuries, and increase strength and flexibility. Additionally, yoga can help improve your overall balance and coordination. There are many ways that yoga helps someone to tone up and stay in shape. First, yoga is a great form of cardio exercise. It gets the heart rate up and helps to burn calories. Second, yoga is a form of strength training. It works the muscles in the body and can help to create lean, toned muscles. Third, yoga is a great way to stretch and lengthen the muscles. This can help improve flexibility and prevent injuries. And finally, yoga is a mind-body exercise that can help to reduce stress and anxiety. All of these factors together can help someone to stay healthy and toned both physically and mentally."

5. She Loves Running

Kirschen also revealed to POPSUGAR that the star loves to run 3-5 miles and Dr. Thomas Wollschlager, MD, Co-Founder of Meduni.com, and a Certified Personal Trainer says, "Due to the great number of many different muscles involved when doing it, running is the best exercise for people looking to lose weight or stay fit as it burns much more calories than any other physical activity, even more than cycling and weightlifting. Although the number of calories you burn will highly depend on factors such as your weight as well as the speed and overall time you spend running, on average, a person can burn from 80 to 140 calories per mile, which means they could burn between 280 and 520 calories in a 30 minutes run. In order to see better and faster results, it's recommended to run at least three times a week (preferably four or five) for 30-45 minutes."

1. In A World Of Gym-Obsessed Individuals, She Is Easy Going

28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Truthfully, most of what she does is free and low key, like walking or hiking. She certainly believes in fitness, but not necessarily in overdoing it. The Legally Blonde star has been delivering approachable wellness tips and while simultaneously promoting southern cuisine and hospitality through her cookbook, Whiskey in a Teacup.

2. She Takes Time to Stretch It Out

She prioritizes making her body feel good after and before workouts by using the foam roller and being sure to stretch her muscles out properly. Follow this guide on the Mayo Clinic to start using a foam roller to “loosen up before a workout and reduce muscle soreness afterwards. Try these foam rolling techniques to restore your sore muscles. Go very slowly and hold each position for 30 seconds or more. Remember to never roll over a joint or bone.”

3. She Takes Plenty of Walks

Walking it’s probably the easiest and cheapest way to fit in a little daily exercise and has so many benefits. You don’t always have to be completely stressed out and work your body to the max to see results. Regular brisk walks can lead to improved cardiovascular fitness, increased muscle endurance, better sleep, less stress, and more according to the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Enjoys Exploring the Wilderness

Channeling her role in the movie Wild, Reese immerses herself in nature, getting lost on a nice hike while hanging out with a friend or clearing her mind. This is yet another free activity that you can do that is great for your body and for stress. Hiking regularly can keep mental and physical health issues away.

5. She Stays Focused

Whether she is hiking with a friend or connecting with her Instagram following about an informal, goal-oriented workout challenge, she still does breakdowns of workouts at home on the treadmill or running outside. She loves high intensity interval training, and will generally focus on HIIT workouts for about a half an hour at a time.

Reese Witherspoon is heating up social media in her sports bra! In a new social media post the actress hugs her pooch post-workout session in celebration of National Pet Day. “I've met many animals on this life journey, all have so much meaning to me. ❤️ Thank you for the cuddles, support & love: Minnie, Willy, Izzy, Benji, and Major!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the actress, 48, approach diet and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Self-Love

Reese starts with a healthy approach to her body. “In my 30s, I learned to accept my body for what it is. This is what looks good on it. It will never look good in that thing over there with all the fabric and the bows and the ruffles. It just won't,” she told InStyle.

2. Hydration

“Start the day with a big glass of water,” Reese exclaimed in an Instagram Reel detailing her health habits. Why should you prioritize hydration? The Mayo Clinic explains that it 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.

3. No Crash Diets

Reese tries to eat healthy but doesn’t go to extreme measures. “I don’t believe in crash dieting or anything like that," Reese told Us Weekly."I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning," she added to Radio Times. She loves nutritionist Kim Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, which consists of spinach, romaine lettuce, celery, apple, pear, banana, and lemon juice. "I start every day with a Glowing Green Smoothie and so does my whole family!" she wrote in a testimonial on Snyder's website

4. Strength Training and Cardio

"I work out all the time anyway just to stay healthy,” Reese told Us Weekly. She does strength training sessions with trainer Michael George, who told Shape that she does cardio for 30 minutes six times per week. Reese also revealed to Radio Times that she wakes up at 5:30 a.m. so she can work out by 7:30 a.m. "I probably do that six days a week," she said.

5. She Prioritizes Sleep

Reese is in bed by 10pm, with “no late night TV binges,” she says in her Instagram Reel. “Try to get 8 hours of rest!” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveal that a third of US adults report that they get less than the recommended amount of sleep—seven hours for adults per the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “Not getting enough sleep is linked with many chronic diseases and conditions—such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression,” the CDC explains.

Kim Kardashian is undeniably one of the most recognized faces on the planet. Entrepreneur. Mom. Social media maven. Icon. The Keeping up with the Kardashians star is known for many things, but it's her fit figure and curves that people seem to love talking about. For over a decade the reality star has been turning heads and frequently landing on the cover of magazines showcasing her famous assets. The mother of four looks incredible, so how does she do it? CelebWell reached out to dietitians to comment on her approach. Keep reading to find out her diet and fitness tricks—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Trick #1: Eat the Right Carbs

Kardashian shared on her app in 2018, via Harper's Bazaar: "My trainer Mel [Melissa Alcantara] always says that before and after you train, you should eat simple carbs, like sweet potatoes, and small amounts of fat and protein, like chicken. You should also have veggies with your meals, since you need them to help effectively break down and absorb your protein, fat, and carbs." "Carbs are an important source of energy," says Sandy Younan Brikho, MDA, RDN, Registered Dietitian with The Dish On Nutrition. "Eating the right amount of carbs before training will help you have enough energy to perform well in both endurance training and resistance training. There are two different kinds of carbohydrates: simple and complex.

Simple carbohydrates are digested fast and therefore provide you with short-term energy, which can leave you feeling low on energy at the end of your workout. However, complex carbohydrates are digested slower and therefore would provide you with enough energy to get you through your entire workout.

Examples of simple carbs:

Cookies

White bread

Fruit Juice Concentrate

Soda

Breakfast Cereal

Examples of complex carbs:

Potatoes

Oatmeal

Whole grain bread

Beans

Fruits

When you workout, your body’s glycogen stores are utilized as fuel, so consuming carbohydrates after a workout will help you restore them again. Overall, consuming carbohydrates before and after training will help you stay healthy and reach your weight loss goals by properly fueling you for your workout so that you are energized and fueled enough to complete it, and replenish what you lost after your workout. As you exercise and build more muscle, your metabolism increases and this further aids you in reaching your weight loss goals. Carbs are an important part of your diet and should always be incorporated in order for you to have a balanced diet."

2. Trick #2: Avoid Processed Food

One of the ways Kardashian maintains her famous curves is by not eating processed foods. "I want her to eat real food that’s cooked every day," Alcantara told People. "Most likely if it comes out of a box, it’s not going to be good for you." Ronald Smith, a registered dietitian, explains, "Processed foods, like those found in vending machines and the snacks at convenience stores, are so bad for you for a number of reasons. They are generally high in sodium, likely to have trans fatty acids, and have many other unhealthy additives. Although improved nutrition labeling has made it easier for individuals to identify some of these unhealthy ingredient alterations, many processed foods are still hiding their additives in different names or ingredients that aren’t listed on the ingredients label. Instead, take a fresh look at what is on your menu. Many convenience foods found in vending machines and certain food establishments are less nutritious than they seem. Processed food is basically food that has been changed to improve and extend its shelf life. The food additives might not look, smell or taste any different but they are out there nevertheless. Processed foods are very difficult to spot because they can be found in the most unexpected of places. There is this idea that it is what you eat and how much of it that matters but the truth is that it is also crucial where it comes from and how it was prepared. Processed foods often cause weight gain, diabetes or lead to other diseases. Avoiding processed foods can be an effective way to drop the pounds and keep them off. Processed foods are often higher in calories than their naturally occurring counterparts, and just as often contain added sugars and what is referred to as 'empty' calories.”

3. Trick #3: 6 Day a Week Workouts

Alcantara told Women's Health that the 41-year-old is a "badass mom" Kim will never cancel on her, no matter how early it is or how busy her day looks. Alcantara said that Kim is "super responsible, she never cancels—she's the best client and athlete you could have." Reda Elmardi, a Registered Dietician, certified nutritionist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Trainer, and owner of thegymgoat.com says, "Training six times a week can be beneficial for your body if done properly. If you are looking to get stronger, then you should train at least three times per week. However, if you are trying to improve endurance, then four times a week would work better. You should not train too much each time. This could lead to overtraining and cause injuries. Make sure that you have enough rest between workouts. This allows your muscles to recover from the previous workout. Try to do a variety of exercises. Do some cardio, weight lifting, and plyometrics. These different types of exercise help keep your body strong and healthy. When doing any type of exercise, make sure that you warm up first. This helps prevent injury and increases blood flow to your muscles. Don't forget about stretching! Stretching before and after working out prevents muscle soreness and increases flexibility."

4. Trick #4: She Tried Two Workouts a Day for 30 Days

Last year, the reality star and her sister Khloe Kardashain did two workouts a day for 30 days to start 2021 off right. She wrote on Instagram: "Sister Boot Camp Starts This Month. Plant based and two workouts a day for 30 days to get our mind and body right this year!" Elmardi explains, "The human body needs exercise to stay healthy. If you don't work out regularly, your muscles will become weak and flabby. You'll have trouble doing everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, carrying groceries, etc. Regular workouts can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, stress, anxiety, and even cancer. If you're not used to exercising, then start slowly. Don't overdo it at first. Start off with 30 minutes of cardio exercises (like running) three days per week. Gradually increase your time until you reach 60-90 minutes. Some people are naturally leaner than others. They may need less exercise than other people. However, if you're overweight, you should still try to get some form of physical activity into your life. Try swimming, biking, hiking, dancing, yoga, aerobics, weight lifting, tennis, racquetball, squash, basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, golf, bowling, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, and many other sports."

5. Trick #5: Sprinting

WSJ. Magazine 2021 Innovator Awards Sponsored By Samsung, Harry Winston, And ReÃÅmy Martinamie McCarthy/Getty Images

Alcantara previously told Women's Health they'll up the intensity a few times a week with 10 minutes of sprints. And, fun fact, this is Kim's least favorite part of her workout routine. "She hates sprints," Alcantara said. "But she does them still, no problem. She knows that the worst" stuff "is the thing that works." Elmardi states, "Sprinting helps people lose weight because it burns calories. You burn about 100 calories per hour while running at a pace that is faster than your normal walking speed. This means that if you run for 30 minutes, you would have burned 300 calories. If you are not used to exercising, then this may seem like a lot of work. However, if you are already active, then you can expect to burn around 500-600 calories after just 20 minutes of sprinting. If you are looking to get into shape, then you need to start running. If you want to lose weight, then you need to run. If you want to build muscle mass, then you need to do some form of cardio exercise. Running is the best way to burn calories and fat. You can use this information to your advantage if you're trying to lose weight."

Dani Elle Speegle in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Just a Girl and Her Barbell"

Discover how elite CrossFit athlete Dani Elle Speegle stays in peak condition with weightlifting, golfing, jumping rope, hiking, and cold plunges.

Dani Elle Speegle isn’t just strong—she’s unstoppable. The elite CrossFit athlete and social media sensation has built a massive following by sharing her intense training sessions and inspiring fitness moments. Recently, she posted a series of weightlifting photos on Instagram, proving once again why she’s a powerhouse in the gym.

“Just a girl and her barbell,” she captioned the post, letting her strength do the talking. From lifting heavy to outdoor adventures, here’s how Speegle stays in peak condition.

She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram post, Speegle is seen lifting weights. According to ACE Fitness, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

She Golfs

Speegle likes to golf to keep herself in shape. She shared a video of herself on the course in this Instagram post. According to Randa aerobic exercise. “Golf can help strength and balance, improve quality of life and provide aerobic exercise. On a regular 18-hole course, most players will walk between four and five miles, burning up to 2,000 calories.”

She's Into Jumping Rope

Speegle shared this video on Instagram of herself competing in Crossfit events. In it, she is seen jumping rope. According to The Cleveland Clinic, jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Benefits of jump rope can help improve your coordination, get your heart rate going and help burn calories — and it’s an easy, affordable way to get some cardio in.”

She Hikes

Speegle likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking the Koko Head Summit. Speegle captioned the post, “Woke up and chose pain today. Every 45 min X 3 rounds: Koko head 💀💀💀 Then sat in my car and stared into the abyss while munching on Banan 🥲🥲🥲”

She Does Cold Plunges

Speegle makes sure to recover. One thing she likes to do is cold plunges. Speegle shared this video of herself jumping into a tub. According to The Mayo Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day. These benefits may be the result of rapid constriction of the blood vessels due to the cold water. The cold can trigger responses in your body, such as decreased metabolic activity, alterations in hormone production and blood flow, and activation of the immune system.”

Last year, Malik gave fans a look at her workout routine in an Instagram video, where she powered through hanging crunches, lunges, and weightlifting sessions. She captioned the post, “Got some major work to do before my next session,” proving that even elite athletes are always striving to improve. Here’s a closer look at how Malik keeps her body strong and ready for competition.

She Lifts Weights

Malik is seen doing a lot of weight lifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Lunges

Malik is seen shifting into lunges in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that lunges are a form of unilateral training, and that makes them effective. “Unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

She Does Core Workouts

Malik is seen doing core workouts, like hanging crunches in her Instagram video. Core workouts are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes.”

She Does Pull-Ups

An upper body workout that Malik likes to do is pull-ups. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them at the gym. Malik captioned it, “Got some major work to do before my next session.” Asphalt Green says that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

She Golfs

Golf is obviously one of the ways that Malik keeps herself in shape. Better Health says that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Camila Guper is more than just a fitness influencer—she’s a motivation powerhouse. With 1.1 million Instagram followers, she inspires her audience with workout routines, wellness tips, and a disciplined approach to staying fit. Recently, she took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest gym session, including a stairclimber workout, a snapshot of her Apple Watch tracking her progress, and a post-workout mirror selfie in pink workout gear.

Her message? Consistency is key. “Don't underestimate the power of small, consistent actions! Every effort is worth it when you know where you want to go,” she captioned the post. From intense stair workouts to leg-sculpting exercises, here’s how Guper stays in top shape.

She Uses A Stairclimber

In her Instagram post, Guper is seen using the stairclimber. Stair workouts have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness says, “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”

She’s Consistent

Guper makes sure to stay consistent with her workout routines. One way she does so is by staying disciplined. Guper talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Good morning! May we always have the discipline to do what is good for us. Amen 💪🏽🙏🏽✨ 40 min stair + shoulder and chest workout today.”

She Does Lunges

Guper shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, lunges have a lot of benefits. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles.”

She Does Leg Extensions

In the previous Instagram video, Guper is seen using the leg extension machine. Asphalt Green says that leg extensions have a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

She Spends Time Outside

Guper likes to spend time outside. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a day by the pool with her dog. Guper captioned the post, “Good Morning! What book are you reading? 📖💚🐺🌮 I'm loving reading How to become super natural! I'm already sharing saying it's a must-read.”
