In addition to being an Emmy nominated actress, Sydney is an experienced MMA fighter. “I’m trained in mixed martial arts,” she told Marie Claire. “I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place. Those guys were probably saying, ‘Oh, we didn’t want to hurt her,’ but they were definitely trying. Everyone broke a sweat!”

2. She Skies

Sydney also loves skiing. “Hope one day i can do this everyday,” she said while on a recent skiing trip.Research has linked the sport to so many benefits, including a decreased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. It is also a great physical workout.
