Liberty,State,Park,,Nj,-,June,1,,2019:,Jennifer,LawrenceShutterstock

Jennifer Lawrence grew up in Kentucky. She is open about not liking the diet culture in society. "I don't like when people say, 'I only do this or eat this,'" she told Vogue. "Because I eat. I'm not very strict with my diet: If I want a piece of pizza, I eat a piece of pizza. But I do work out more than normal because I have a certain way that I want to look, and a way that I want to fit into my clothes.”

2. Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey is originally from Texas. He shared some of his favorite workouts in an interview with Men’s Journal. “Like any mammal, we’re always gonna make it back home. I like to run 20 minutes out, turn around, and drop and do 20 pushups 10 times during the run back.”

3. Channing Tatum

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,9:,Channing,Tatum,At,The,VersaceShutterstock

Channing Tatum is originally from Alabama. He opened up about raising his daughter in an interview with USA Today. “She’s taught me a softness I probably never would have had if I’d had a boy,” Tatum says. “If I had a boy I’d probably be even more afraid, because my dad was very hard on me, and I wouldn’t have known how to be soft with him. I think that probably would have been a harder journey.”

4. Reese Witherspoon

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,13:,Reese,Witherspoon,Arrives,For,Apple+Shutterstock

Reese Witherspoon grew up in Louisiana. She has amazing skin, and makes sure to take care of it. “My skin texture has changed a little bit [in recent years] — it's a little bit drier," she tells Harper's Bazaar. “I definitely struggle with brown spots, I think from pregnancy, and so I'm looking for products that are really effective for dark-spot treatment. Especially in the summer, they get darker since they come up with heat."

5. Sandra Bullock

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,21:,Sandra,Bullock,Arrives,For,'theShutterstock

Sandra Bullock was born in Virginia and raised in North Carolina. She currently lives in Texas. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she revealed that she wants to spend more time at home.

Tennessee native, Justin Timberlake, works with Ben Bruno to keep himself in shape. Bruno tells GQ that Timberlake likes to lift a lot of heavy weights, and he’s constantly pushing himself. “None of the pro athletes I train have been able to beat this yet, and I haven’t either, which is actually super annoying because lifting is the one thing I thought I could do better than him. It’s really cool to see a guy in Justin’s position putting forth this type of effort and moving heavy weight because it doesn’t matter who you are, you can’t buy results in the gym. You have to work for it.”

7. Faith Hill

Las,Vegas,,Nv,-,April,02,,2017:,Faith,Hill,AtShutterstock

Faith Hill was born in Mississippi and grew up in Tennessee. In an old interview with SELF, she talked about her approach to working out. “Some days it's harder to get myself moving than others, but it has such a positive impact on my day.

8. Julia Roberts

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,January,06,,2019:,Julia,Roberts,At,TheShutterstock

Julia Roberts grew up in Georgia. She shared her diet in an interview with People.

Don’t be mean to pasta.”

9. Tim McGraw

Las,Vegas,,Nv,-,April,2,,2017:,Tim,Mcgraw,AtShutterstock

Tim McGraw was born in Louisiana. He opened up about how he changed his lifestyle to a healthier one to People. “I’ve gone through a physical transformation in the last 10 years, but it’s not just my appearance that has changed,” he said. “My mind is clearer, my sense of purpose is sharper, and my relationships are deeper. Consistent physical exercise helps me bring focus to my life and to the people who mean the most to me.”

10. Carrie Underwood

Nashville,-,Jun,5:,Carrie,Underwood,(l),And,Mike,FisherShutterstock

Carrie Underwood grew up in a small Oklahoma town. She works with trainer, Eve Overland, to help her stay in shape. Overland talked about working with the singer to Shape Magazine.

11. Kelly Clarkson

Los,Angeles,-,May,9:,Kelly,Clarkson,At,The,AmericanShutterstock

Kelly Clarkson grew up in Texas, and lived in Tennessee for a number of years. She shared her beauty mantra with People in 2018. “I just don’t care about things I feel like people put a lot of weight and gravity in. I do thank my upbringing for that. I just, I care about things that I feel like are important. So my beauty mantra is just to be a beautiful, kind, nice and thoughtful [person].”

12. Josh Hutcherson

Hollywood,,Ca,Usa,-,Nov,16,2019:,Josh,Hutcherson,ArrivesShutterstock

I need that competitive drive to get a cardio workout.”

13. Jennifer Garner

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,13:,Jennifer,Garner,Arrives,For,Apple+Shutterstock

Jennifer Garner was born in Texas and raised in West Virginia. She works with trainer Beth Nicely to help her stay in shape. "On a typical day we'll do a solid warm-up and then we'll get the blood flowing and the heart rate up a bit with some cardio dances," Nicely told Shape. "We might do two to four dances and then I'll usually take her through a plyometric box series. And then we might take the heart rate down and pick up some weights to do some strength training. And then I'll get her back to the boxes and we'll do a plyometric series with one of those bigger plyometric boxes."

14. Julianne Moore

New,York,,Ny,-,November,29:,Julianne,Moore,Attends,TheShutterstock

Julianne Moore was born in North Carolina, and was raised all over the country due to her father being in the military. Moore broke down her daily routine to Marie Claire. “I try to do 10 a.m. yoga classes. I go to The Shala Yoga. They lost their Manhattan studio, but they still have their studio in Brooklyn and they’re online. It’s theshala.com and my teachers are Kristen and Barbara and Ashley. After my workout class, I’ll have something to eat. I’ll have scrambled eggs with toast and fruit or I’ll have a Pressed smoothie. It’s Green Light, but I add mango, and chia, and flax seeds.”

15. Eva Longoria

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,24:,Eva,Longoria,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Native Texan, Eva Longoria, opened up about losing the baby weight to Health Digest. “Meditation I do every day, and when I started yoga, it was only twice a week. It wasn't that intense. Again, I gave myself the space, but I was like, ‘Okay, I'm going to work out two times this week, and this time I'm going to do three times.’ But once I was in it, I'm a five-day-a-week girl, so it turned into that once I was back in my space of before-the-baby. I love working out. Working out for me is my mental health hour. I need to give it that hour a day. On my off days is yoga or stretching.”

16. Nastia Liukin

Los,Angeles,-,Jul,18:,Nastia,Liukin,Arrives,To,TheShutterstock

Gymnast Nastia Liukin grew up in Texas. She shared her diet and exercise trips with TODAY. "A lot of protein, a lot of vegetables, a lot of greens. I don't really eat too many carbs, and if I do, it's brown rice or quinoa. And I really love green juices. I don't necessarily do green juice cleanses for a week long, but if I'm not feeling that great, I'll just do a one or two day juice cleanse, and it will just pick me right back up."

17. Maren Morris

Nashville,-,Jun,5:,Maren,Morris,Attends,The,2019,CmtShutterstock

In an interview with Women’s Health, Maren Morris shared her favorite workouts, and her approach to fitness.

18. Garth Brooks

Garth,Brooks,In,The,Press,Room,At,The,43rd,AnnualShutterstock

Garth Brooks is originally from Oklahoma. In an interview, he opened up about the important roles fitness and health have in his life and career. “You want to try to be as fit as you can. Because my job is to get to everyone in that stadium. And we have two and a half hours to get it done. So we will be moving a lot. And physically I wanted to not have that as an obstacle.”

Faith Hill

Faith Hill played Margaret Dutton on 1883. She talked about her wellness secrets in an interview with SELF. "Some days it's harder to get myself moving than others, but it has such a positive impact on my day. I have more energy throughout the day and feel better overall. I also try to drink 70 to 90 ounces of water a day. It is so good for you, inside and out."

Kylie Rogers

Kylie Rogers plays young Beth Dutton on Yellowstone. She talked about her love of acting in an interview with Schon Magazine. “I’m still so passionate about acting and my passion is still just the same as when I was a kid, when I was just like, ‘Let’s make movies!’ [Laughter] I’m genuinely so excited about everything every day. But, in terms of my process, I am now, obviously, more capable of understanding the characters, what they’re going through, and the emotions they’re feeling. I can understand more in-depth what’s going on there and why they’re like that. Whereas, when I was a kid, I would just try to and I’d be like, ‘Oh, she’s sad in this scene,’ you know what I mean? But, I wouldn’t fully understand why she was sad. I’ve definitely been able to grasp a good understanding of characters.

Hassie Harrison

Hassie Harrison plays Laramie on Yellowstone. She shared her wellness routine in an interview with Modeliste Magazine. “I take a lot of walks to exercise my body, spend time with friends and family to fill my heart, read and listen to audiobooks and podcasts to stay informed and make sure to get a lot of vitamin D! As an extra bonus, I also love a good facemask.”

Piper Parebo

Piper Perabo arrives to the premier of Season 5 of "Yellowstone."

Piper Perabo plays Summer Higgins on Yellowstone. She talked about the importance of having confidence in an interview with Into The Gloss. “I think for myself, what shines through the best is when you feel good about yourself, you know what I mean? Confidence. It comes from a psychological place: how you feel about yourself and what you want to put out there initially, and then after that, I think it comes from a nutritional place—what you eat really affects how you look, and the better you are to your body, the better you feel, and the better you look, and the better you feel about how you look.”

Jennifer Landon

Jennifer Landon plays Teeter on Yellowstone. In an interview with Naluda Magazine, she says that learning to fail was the best advice she’s received. “I was someone who didn’t try very much because I had a high batting average and was very afraid of failure. This didn’t allow me to work and grow. Learning to fail is still very hard for me, and it’s been at times the most freeing thing on earth. If I were to give advice, I would say, fuck talent – just do what you want and then do it again, and again, and again. The people I know who tried and failed the most are the most successful. And successful in every way in my book.”

Lainey Wilson

Singer Lainey Wilson plays Abby on Yellowstone. In an interview with Delish, she talked about how meal prepping helps her eat better. “I will say I feel like I’m becoming a little bit more prepared than I used to be,” she said. “I really do enjoy meal prepping and having things handy, because I feel like when you don’t have those things handy, that’s when you mess up and that’s when you eat something that makes you feel bad.”

Luke Grimes

Luke Grimes plays Kayce Dutton on Yellowstone. In an interview with Men’s Health, he talked about the importance of working out. “Gyms, for me, are more about the mental aspect of it than making sure I look good with my shirt off or whatever,” Grimes explained. “I mean, of course, I’d like to look good with my shirt off, but we all would. If I go a couple weeks without working out, I start to get real dark. So I have to — I just have to. I’m 40 years old now, so I know I have to get it done.”

Cole Hauser

Cole Hauser plays Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone. On the show, he does a lot of horseback riding, and it’s helped keep him in shape. Hauser talked about riding in an interview with GQ. “I grew up in Oregon riding, so from four to seven years old, I was on a horse. Now, doing Yellowstone for six months at a time, you get in horse-shape.”

Wes Bentley

Wes Bentley stars as Jamie Dutton on Yellowstone. He is open about being sober and his past struggles with addiction. Bentley talked about how he got clean and his desire to help others who are struggling in an interview with Men’s Health. “The way I attacked it was by being positive—I’m just gonna go talk about it to everybody and try to help others and heal that shame by doing something.”

Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw played James Dillard Dutton in 1883. In an interview with Men’s Journal, McGraw talked about the impotence of fitness in his life. "In my early 40s, when I really started taking it seriously, I started running a lot. That’s the first thing I started doing, and I found that made a big difference for me. It just started my day out better. I just realized how much it raised the bar on everything that I did. It raised the bar on my career. It raised the bar on my relationships with my friends. It just made me feel better, gave me a better mental outlook on everything that I was doing."

Ryan Bingham

Ryan Bingham plays Walker on Yellowstone. He talked about the importance of following your dreams in an interview with Arizona Foothills Magazine. “I just know that for me it was about trusting my gut. When you’re young and you’re out on your own, you have no home, no family; there’s nothing left to lose. I was forced to do what I had to out of survival. Sometimes it wasn’t the safest bet. Many times it didn’t work out and I learned the hard way. But I figured out where to go and not go, do and not do.”

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

New,York,,Ny,-,November,01:,Ebonee,Noel,Attends,TheShutterstock

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,13:,Connie,Nielsen,At,The,WorldShutterstock

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

9. Leva Bonaparte

Leva Bonaparte was a guest before joining the main cast in season seven. In this Instagram post, she revealed that she is taking tests to find her body’s intolerances. “I’ve always had the most perfect of health and I guess I abused it over the years somewhere with processed foods, lack of sleep, adrenal overload etc,” she wrote in the caption. “But now I’m healing, it’s a lot of moving parts.

I did not miss my chance to get on that boat. And yes, it wasn’t convention that I immediately was in another relationship after my divorce was finalized; I understand that. But when you know, you know. To stifle that or slow it down, it would have just felt like enormous regret.”

He and his co-stars talked about their diets in this video for BravoTV.com. “I’m known as the egg guy,” Smith said. “I eat egg whites. 12 egg whites, and I’ll prepare four meals throughout the day.

If you’re looking for a new show to watch on Netflix, maybe check out The Night Agent. The show premiered in March, and was renewed for a second season a week later; when Netflix released a list of their most viewed shows in the last six months, The Night Agent was #1. The show is based on a novel and is about an FBI agent, Peter Sutherland, trying to find a mole. He teams up with and helps protect a tech CEO named Rose Larkin. How do the stars of this megahit stay so fit? Read on.

Gabriel Basso plays the lead role of Peter Sutherland. He talked about training for the show with Us Weekly. "I already was in shape because I fight and stuff in real life and I compete and train. But I think the biggest thing for me was going back to early 1900s where their approach to health was health first, rank second and looks third. And sort of the aesthetic and looking good is a byproduct of the first two. It's not the emphasis.”

2. Hong Chau

He wrote, “It’s time to switch it up. I’ve always been an avid swimmer but stopped so I could bulk up for the show. I think it’s time to go back to the pool full time and really lean out. Different approach means a different look. Let’s see what happens.”

Los,Angeles,,Ca:,09,,2020:,Fola,Evans,Akingbola,At,TheShutterstock

Fola Evans-Akingbola plays Chelsea Arrington on the show. She opened up about her journey to loving her hair with Infringe. “It took me so long to love my hair. As an adolescent, I was starting to think, what counts as pretty, what counts as beautiful? The boys that I’m around, are they liking me? I was coming to realise that there was a specific version of beauty out in the world that was appreciated, and I just didn’t feel like it was me. And a lot of that was to do with my hair. So, I would do nothing with it: get it away from my face, tie it up. But at my first part-time job, the look policy was that you had to wear your hair down and natural. Even though the look policy in the shop was itself a bit problematic, I’m always thankful for it because it was there that I would be getting compliments, and it helped me realise, actually my hair is quite nice! That started the journey for me, but what really changed it was finding the right hairdresser. And I cried the first time I went to that salon. I had no idea that my curls could be defined, and healthy, and bouncy.”

6. Sarah Desjardins

Sarah Desjardins plays Maddie Redfield on the show. She shared some of her favorite workouts with Photobook Magazine. “I am a physically active person. I love running, strength training, Pilates, being outside in nature. Maddie, however, did not ‘require’ much physical preparation. She’s the Vice President’s daughter and an art student. She’s not expecting what’s about to happen to her so I didn’t feel the need to do anything specific in terms of physical preparation.”

7. Eve Harlow

Eve Harlow plays Ellen on the show. She talked about her personal success to TVLine. “My family immigrated from Russia to Israel to Canada, and there were, like, five of us sleeping on the floor of a one-bedroom. That is where I come from, so the fact that I get to pay my bills by acting is a dream come true. That in itself is a victory for me.”

8. Amanda Warren

Amanda Warren will be joining the cast in season 2, playing Catherine Weaver. She shared her wellness tips with Healthy Living Magazine. “Cardio is vital. I do indoor cycling as much as I can at Cyc Fitness here in New York. Yoga is excellent! It not only keeps me healthy physically but mentally and spiritually also. If you’re like me, yoga is particularly great if you don’t necessarily do free weights as often as you should making it a nice alternative to building nice, lean muscle. If I can’t get to the gym as often as I would like to, I usually don’t worry about it. I’m a born and raised New Yorker so walking is in my bones and, after the day is done—especially during the spring and summer seasons—I’ve usually done an hour of walking. Just walk everywhere. I walk even to and from gym which I count as my warm up and cool down.”

9. Kari Matchett

Kari Matchett plays the recurring role of President Travers. She tells Brit + Co that she loves salads, and even shared her favorite recipe. “If I ever go over to anybody's house for dinner, I am always the designated salad person. So if I were to ever open a restaurant, it would be a salad restaurant. I believe in the power of salads. I'm particularly in love with arugula [and I love] different variations. So a little bit of olive oil, the best sea salt, [and] a squeeze of lemon juice. You can do no wrong.”

Taylor Sheridan’s TV western Yellowstone has proved to be a runaway hit—and the same can be said for the two spinoffs 1883 and 1923. With a stellar cast including Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill, the two Paramount hit shows showcase talent that represents the entire spectrum of age and experience. How do they do it? Here are the ways 15 Yellowstone spinoff cast members stay fit, healthy, and camera-ready.


1. Marley Shelton

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Marley,Shelton,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Dawn Olivieri, 42, plays Claire Dutton on 1883. The actress loves working out outdoors. "I tend to be most inspired to work out within a location that contains something impressive," she says. "The mountains, a sunrise, a sunset, a waterfall, the ocean. You can pull energy from them while you do your exercises."

2. Julia Schlaepfer

Julia,Schlaepfer,Attends,1923,Tv,Series,Exhibition,At,Paley,CenterShutterstock

Julia Schlaepfer, 28, plays Alexandra on 1923. The actress embraces her physique, and has learned to have confidence in her style. “Bodies are meant to change, so I think that’s beautiful,” she says. “I wore a Paolo Sebastian dress to The Politician première], and I was worried because it showed a lot of cleavage. Then I thought, ‘This is crazy. We all have ’em!’

3. Isabel May

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,26:,Isabel,May,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Isabel May, 22, plays Elsa Dutton on 1883. The actress enjoys the natural look which is part of her role. "Taylor [Sheridan] said from the very beginning, 'I want everything to be authentic.' I mean, women didn't start shaving until the 1920s,” she says. “He really wanted that to be an aspect of the show, and so I was more than happy to oblige. I'm lucky to be a part of it. I don't really know how I've had this opportunity. It's difficult to find such depth and growth in a character especially at her [Elsa] age, considering the genre as well, being a Western it's usually from a male perspective."

4. Helen Mirren

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Helen,Mirren,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Helen Mirren, 78, plays Cara Dutton on 1923. The legendary actress recommends moderation when it comes to diet. “Take control of your diet and find what makes you feel good,” she says. “I’m the first one at the fish and chips, but what you’re putting inside your body does influence how you feel about yourself, so start there.”

5. Harrison Ford

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,26:,Harrison,Ford,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Harrison Ford, 81, plays Jacob Dutton on 1923. The actor avoids eating meat and dairy, and sticks to fish and vegetables. "I just decided I was tired of eating meat," he says. "And I know it’s not really good for the planet and it’s not really good for me."

6. Aminah Nieves

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Aminah,Nieves,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Aminah Nieves, 27, plays Teonna Rainwater on 1923. The actress is passionate about the power of meditation. “I knew that in order to be part of the industry, I needed to focus on my mental health and change the way I viewed myself,” she says. “My best advice for anyone is to try meditation. Use the gift of the medicine that is around you, harness the beauty that we tend to take for granted, and be as forgiving of yourself and others as nature is of us. Step into that fear and demand that it listens to you.”

7. Jerome Flynn

Los,Angeles,-,Jul,12:,Jerome,Flynn,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Jerome Flynn, 60, plays Banner Creighton on 1923. The actor follows a vegan diet. “I went vegan, but I found it very hard to be vegan at that time – I didn’t really know myself how to look after myself in terms of plant protein and it started to drive me a bit mad, so I came off the vegan train and was vegetarian, but I was practically vegan,” he says. “I stayed with goat’s cheese, thinking naively that there was less cruelty involved in the goat industry. But then, my friend, the wonderful Juliet Gellatley [founder and director of vegan charity Viva] came to stay and shared a campaign she was doing about the goat farming industry. It made it very explicit the kind of terrible cruelty that was going on, so I came off and I’ve been vegan since.”

8. Timothy Dalton

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Timothy,Dalton,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Timothy Dalton, 77, plays Donald Whitfield on 1923. Dalton is an accomplished dancer, and has shown off his skills on The Crown. “I’m your man for a waltz and I’ve even danced the tango with Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer, without music I have to say,” he says. “But this one was all changing beats and rhythms and the rest of it. It’s not something I was confident about and had Lesley [Manville] known how unconfident I was, as she was hurtling through the air with her feet off the ground, she wouldn’t have done it.”

9. Jennifer Ehle

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Jennifer,Ehle,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Jennifer Ehle, 53, plays Sister Mary on 1923. The actress says she learned to cook while staying in Scotland for her wedding. “Every day I got some cookbooks from the library in Blairgowrie,” she says. “I’d never really done much cooking, but we’d pick out what I’d make and then we’d walk into town to the grocery store and the butcher and the fishmonger, buy whatever it was, then I’d go home and cook and practice. We ate well and walked a lot. Our landlords called us the dormice because we were so in love and so happy we were hunkered down and they didn’t see us very much. It was very romantic and lovely.”

10. Michelle Randolph

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,Michelle,Randolph,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Michelle Randolph, 25, plays Elizabeth Strafford on 1923. The actress fully embraced the ranch outdoors lifestyle during filming. “We were riding horses on our off days and spending time together,” she says. “I actually have gone back and forth about [the idea of what place I feel suits me most] a lot. I kind of confuse myself. I love cities, I love the hustle and bustle and how everything is available and right there. At the same time, I think I am happiest, not to sound cliché, but when I’m in nature. It just feels like you’re taking a step back and the real priorities in life are health and wellness and you can meditate and not hear cars honking [laughs]! I do think it’s a balance. I could spend 6 months in Montana and then I need 6 months in the city too. I’d like to think of myself as a well-rounded person in that regard.”

11. James Badge Dale

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,02:,James,Badge,Dale,Arrives,ForShutterstock

James Badge Dale, 45, plays John Dutton Sr. on 1923. Dale is no stranger to hardcore training and diets for a role. “If I run six miles every day, I burn 1,200 calories and I’m at zero,” he says. “I’ve been eating a lot of vegetables, chicken, fish, nuts and berries. I eat like a bird.”

12. Tim McGraw

Las,Vegas,,Nv,-,April,2,,2017:,Tim,Mcgraw,AtShutterstock

Tim McGraw, 56, plays James Dutton on 1883. The singer works out with his whole team when he’s on tour. “We do a big CrossFit training session in the afternoon that usually goes from an hour to an hour and a half. It depends on how everybody holds up,” he says. “It starts with 10 or 15 people; it ends with four or five sometimes. That’s our afternoon workout. Then we go get showered up and have dinner, and get ready to do a show.”

13. Faith Hill

Las,Vegas,,Nv,-,April,02,,2017:,Faith,Hill,AtShutterstock

Faith Hill, 55, plays Margaret Dutton on 1883. The singer enjoys a healthy, protein-packed diet. "I don't diet but I do watch what I eat," she says. "For lunch, I usually have a Greek salad with grilled chicken. I love salads for lunch. It's light, delicious and good for you. I vary the protein and sometimes use salmon instead of chicken."

14. LaMonica Garrett

LaMonica Garrett, 48, plays Thomas on 1883. The actor works hard to stay fit and strong. “I do maybe four days per week,” he says. “It will be different each day. If I’m doing legs, I’ll do core. If I’m doing back, I’ll work my core another way. If I’m doing chest, I’ll do core another way, so just something with core every day, and diet. You know, abs, or most of it is nutrition in the kitchen, so I just have to modify the way I eat and it helps.”

15. Sam Elliott

Hollywood,,Ca,Usa,-,Feb,24,2020:,Sam,Elliott,ArrivesShutterstock

Sam Elliott, 78, plays Shea Brennan on 1883. The actor refuses to allow technology to run his life. “I don't have email,” he says. “Twitter, Facebook — everywhere you look, people are looking at their hands. In restaurants, it's like you're sitting in a patch of jack-o'-lanterns because everyone's face is lit up by their phone. Nobody's relating to each other.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
