“The normal morning when I’m not working consists of waking up, chugging a glass of water, eating some almond butter, brushing my teeth, and running over to a class, whether it’s SoulCycle or Pilates or yoga. Then getting a smoothie afterward and coming back to get ready for my day,” she told the Cut.

2. She Was Into High Fats

"I need high fats," Hudgens explained once to Women’s Health. "If I'm not getting enough, my body holds on to calories. We've been trained to think that fats are bad, but they're so good—a source of energy and sustenance that keeps you going through the day. That's the only way I can not eat carbs."

3. She Eats Well

“For me, eating clean always changes. Through the holidays of course, you kind of let go and just eat whatever you want because it’s fun and you’re enjoying life, but after the holidays I feel like everyone needs to get back on track, myself included. I went and saw a nutritionist and I found the best way of eat for me is a high-fat, high-protein, high-green salad,” she told the Cut. “No carbs, no dairy, and no sugar. In the beginning it was really rough because not having any sort of grains is tough, but as I continued to stick with it I found my energy levels flew through the roof.”

4. This is Her Attitude About Her Body

“If I ever get to the point that I’m not happy with my body, I’ll do something about it,” she told Women’s Health. “You will always have the power to do something. Sometimes it will take a little longer than you would like, and sometimes it may be a little more extreme. But if you honestly have a goal, you can do it. You just need to figure out the right way to get there.”

5. Yes, She’s Into SoulCycle

“I actually ride on the podium a lot of the time for a few of the teachers, so it’s basically like me teaching the class, which is so much fun,” she told the Cut. “I’m such a performer that I know that if I’m in front of the class, I’m going to push myself so much harder, which is good for me but I also think I have a lot of energy and it’s fun to be able to inspire a class with that.”

Hudgens also tells Parade that she likes to practice yoga. And she also says that she works hard to maintain it. “I love Modo Yoga. I love a heated yoga class. I love to sweat.

Hudgens tells Parade that her favorite way to stay in shape is by taking fitness classes. “I try to take one of these classes whenever I can, whenever my schedule allows it. Normally, that doesn't allow for seven days. I would do seven days if I had time.”

4. Sarah Takes Care Of Her Mental State

For Hyland, wellness starts with her mental health. “It really is this balance of mental, emotional and physical reality,” she says to People. “So if you’re feeling mentally and emotionally drained, or if you are in a very dark space, you have to pull the string on the other side to lift you up out of that.”

5. Sarah Has Changed Her Skincare Routine

Hyland tells People that she has started to prioritize her skincare in recent years. “As I got older, you start to be like, ‘Oh, I should probably be taking care of myself more and eating more greens than fast food and using moisturizers instead of not and really investing in myself.’ Rather than other trivial things.”

One look at Hudgens’ Instagram, and you will know that she loves to go outside. She says to The Cut, “I love hiking. I love just being outside; having a moment to myself to clear my head and get some fresh air. And also, going on vacations, I love going to places that are tropical or forests, and really just taking the time to get to know the land and the environment. Just stop to take a moment to really take it in. I think it’s so centering, so grounding.”

3. She Works With A Nutritionist

Hudgens tells The Cut that she tries to eat as healthy as she can. One of the ways she developed her diet is by seeing a nutritionist, and working with them to create a personalized diet for her body. “I went and saw a nutritionist and I found the best way to eat for me is a high-fat, high-protein, high-green salad. No carbs, no dairy, and no sugar. In the beginning it was really rough because not having any sort of grains is tough, but as I continued to stick with it I found my energy levels flew through the roof. I had no dips of energy in the day. I felt super focused, super clear. It felt really good, especially in my line of work where you’re doing such long days, I need my energy. So I’ve been sticking with that for a while, and I feel really good — mentally and physically.”

4. She Prioritizes Her Happiness

In her interview with The Cut, Hudgens was asked what the most important part of her wellness routine is. She says that her own happiness is, and that she makes it a priority. “I think that when you have a healthy body and mind, you can’t help but be happy in life.”

The Cut also asked Hudgens what her most important wellness secret is. Hudgens answered, “Just drinking a lot of water. It’s something that’s so easy to forget about but when I’m tired, I know I’m dehydrated, and when my skin’s not great, I know I’m dehydrated. It’s just so important to drink a ton of water.”
