1. She Studies Health

In addition to being an actress, Hope is also studying nutrition, and likes to learn about fitness. She tells Women Fitness, “Regardless of what path my career was taking, being physically active has always been a constant in my life. My fit lifestyle eventually triggered an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and I began to learn anything and everything I could about fitness. I am currently getting my nutrition license online from Cornell University and am always digging deeper into my wellness journey every day!

2. She Plans Ahead

Hope says that planning out her workouts and meals, helps her stick to it. She tells Women Fitness, “It is easy to get overwhelmed when you don’t know where to start. Get informed help and plan your workouts and your nutrition, and continue to take steps in the right direction.

3. She Does A Variety Of Different Things

Hope always wants to enjoy her workouts. One way she does so is by trying new exercises out. She tells Women Fitness, “I also always recommend trying a variety of different workouts to find what you really enjoy. I am constantly trying new and different workout routines to avoid getting bored and to see how my body responds to new challenges.”

4. She Brings Gear To Set

Hope tells Women Fitness that she doesn’t just like to workout at the gym. She says that sometimes she will bring workout gear with her to set, and do exercises there. “On days when I’m going to be on set filming long hours or traveling, I pack a bag with a few hand weights and some resistance bands and I’ll take advantage of the Sweat app on my phone, so I can squeeze in some fitness virtually anywhere!”

5. She Believes In Moderation

Hope tells Soap Opera Digest that her diet is all about moderation. “Right now, it’s about moderation in food and a healthy lifestyle. I’m in touch with my body, so when I eat something that makes me feel sluggish or tired or bloated, I know to avoid it. That’s an easy guideline for anyone to follow. I also have a few allergies, like to gluten and dairy, so I shy away from those, and I stick to whole foods as best I can, which includes veggies, fruits and proteins.

1. Horseback Riding

Heinle has been horseback riding since her parents got her a Shetland pony. “I was interested in sports, but I loved horses,” she says. “I don’t know how my parents swung it. Sandy wasn’t the nicest pony; she stepped on my feet all the time and threw me off a lot. But it was a good learning experience... We used to ride like crazy when we were kids—bareback, no helmets, just crazy stuff.”

2. Dressage Dreams

Heinle got back into horseback riding and dressage after her daughter expressed an interest in it. She now rides a horse called Prince Caspian. “I knew about dressage, but I was an adrenaline junkie—I loved jumping,” she says. “But dressage is exciting in a different way. It’s a rush when he goes from this beautiful walk to a canter. He’s a big mover, but it’s like liquid. I’m just getting to know him. He’s a little shy, still trying to figure it all out because he’s new to the barn. I sing country-western songs to calm him down.”

3. Victoria Newman Legacy

Heinle knows she will always be connected to the role of Victoria Newman. “It scares me to think, like, I never thought I would be in a place so long,” she says. “Not that it’s gonna end anytime soon, but if it were, like this has become such a part of my life and the people I see on day-to-day basis is like…. This is like a legacy for me almost. I’ll be known for his, for being on Y&R because I’ve been there so long.”

5. Making Time For Herself

Heinle starts work before 7 and often isn’t home until late in the day. “I might get lucky and be able to go to work, ride and get home when my kids get home from school,” she says, adding that her love of horseback riding helps with her job. “I know when I’m doing a scene exactly how I want it to go. It took this long to finally get here. That’s not to say I don’t have crappy days where it looks awful and my acting is worse than I’ve ever seen it or days when I think, ‘Why the heck am I even on camera?’ If that is what dressage is like, I’m ready—I’m prepared to fail miserably in the beginning and just enjoy it. Whether it’s riding a horse or acting on a soap opera, if you’re enjoying what you’re doing, none of the other stuff really matters.”

1. One Day At a Time

Cox shared updates on her health and wellness journey on social media. “Is the photo nice?” she captioned a post. “It's ok my people, I know lol. But I just wanted to celebrate with you a goal that I have been accomplishing and that has made me very happy. I started working out a few days ago and not just to lose the weight I need (I'm above my ideal weight) but also to improve my physical and mental fitness. One day at a time 🙌🏻 Little by little I will share with you how things are going. Hope you're as excited as me!”

2. Strong Relationship

Cox and husband Adam are still going strong. “The first thing we usually say to each other when Alan comes home from work is ‘Eu estava com saudades!’ ‘Saudades’ has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of longing for someone you love. Basically, it means, ‘I really, really missed you!'” she says.

3. Winter Weather

Cox loves the cold weather after growing up in a hot climate. “Winter is my absolute favorite season of the year!” she says. “You can get comfortable outfits and look cute at the same time. I think I like winter that much because where I used to live in Brazil it’s always so hot. You never have a break. It's always summer. What is your favorite season?

4. Love For Frida Kahlo

Cox is deeply passionate about art. “I still can't believe I had the immense privilege of observing a piece of art by my dear Frida Kahlo ♥️,” she captioned a post. “I was so moved and touched that I was able to have this moment in my life, that to be honest, I can't put into words what it meant to me. I love you, Frida. Thank you for all the lessons and struggles. To be honest, it's hard to find words to explain what it meant to me to be there. I love you Frida! Thank you for all the lessons and fight!”

5. She Loves Dresses

Cox loves wearing dresses every day. “Do you guys have a to go outfit?” she captioned an Instagram post. “For me, I'll always choose a dress to be mine. In my opinion, they'll always make me feel good about myself, make me feel pretty and feminine. For example, when I tried this one, I was so happy, I took like a million selfs and was dancing around the house.”

1. Growing Up On TV

Kenney grew up on TV thanks to her role on Shameless. “Growing up on TV the way I did is something I never expected,” she says. “Nobody knew we would go on and on and on for over a decade! I definitely didn’t think that when I was so young and booked the job. It’s a special feeling to have a lot of people be able to connect and relate to you, even though I don’t know them personally.”

2. Dog Mom

Kenney kept busy during the pandemic lockdowns by taking care of her dogs, and doing other things that make her happy. “I have 4 rescue dogs, so I’m constantly on dog mom duty, which I thrive from,” she says. “So a lot of dog adventures, road trips, I started cooking, baking bread like so many of us, and tons of random crafts and FaceTime with my friends.”

3. Proud of The Conners

Kenney likes to relax in the evenings, focusing on her skincare routine and watching reality TV with her family. “I never go to sleep with my makeup on (I also rarely wear makeup), moisturize and always use sunscreen,” she says. “I love La Mer and use it almost exclusively. Reality shows are my guilty pleasure. I just binge-watched Making of a Model with my mom.”

5. Self-Love and Her Future Plans

Kenney is all about being down to earth when it comes to self-care. “Self-love, to me, kind of goes hand in hand with the best acting advice I have received, which is to not judge yourself or take yourself too seriously!” she says. Kenney has big plans for the future. “I definitely want to further pursue directing. I haven’t in a long time since pre-Shameless! I was young. But my biggest passion is photography, and that’s something I am really enjoying lately. I strictly shoot on film.”
