Hyland tells Shape that she does a lot of different types of workouts and likes to focus on different things. "I like to build muscle by strength training with my trainer. I do an hour-long full-body workout five to six days a week whenever I can. We focus on different body parts, and in between each one, I do one or two minutes of cardio. It's pretty intense."

Being an actress in the public eye, there can be a lot of pressure to look a certain way. However, Hyland says that she avoids this pressure, and doesn’t strive to be perfect. "I'm naturally confident, but I still have insecurities,” she tells Shape. “And that's OK. As long as you feel good about your body, that's what really matters."

When it comes to her mental health and wellbeing, Hyland tells Shape that she has a small reminder to get herself to calm down. "I have a tattoo on my wrist that says 1, 2, 3.... It reminds me to count to 10 when I'm stressed, scared, or upset, and it clears my head. It also reminds me to be spontaneous and active-like when you go cliff diving and count to three before you jump. Looking at my tattoo helps me live my life better every day."
