Suits Star Amanda Schull in Workout Gear Celebrates Earth Day

Amanda Schull is a successful actress and former dancer. She first made waves in the film, Center Stage. Schull also appeared in the TV series 12 Monkeys and Suits. This week, she shared a photo of herself on the beach on Instagram to celebrate Earth Day. Schull captioned the post, “Let’s take care of #Earth so she can continue to take care of us. This photo is from my annual #Newyearsday trash pick up on my favorite beach. #earthday.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amanda Schull stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Dances

Schull is a former ballerina, and she still likes to dance. She tells Honolulu Magazine, “I do dance recreationally for exercise. When I'm not working, I'll take classes three to four times a week. Plus, I still keep in touch with all my San Francisco Ballet friends and my mom is the president of Ballet Hawaii, so I stay involved with the dance community that way.”

2. She Works Out On A Regular Basis

Scull makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She shared her secrets for doing so in an interview with Women’s Running. “I try to slip exercise in to my daily routine as much as possible. When I am shooting long hours it can be difficult, especially when I have early call times. If I’m not able to attend a ballet or structured exercise class, I do my own exercise routine that consists of a Pilates mat class. I also bring an exercise band to set and do leg or arm work between scenes.”

3. She Brings Healthy Food With Her

Schull tells Women’s Running that she makes sure to have healthy foods available to her. “Healthy eating is definitely a challenge when I’m not in control of all of my meals. I usually make myself a green smoothie in the morning to take to work, and then practice as much self-restraint as possible when craft services brings naughty snacks around… I often ask for cut vegetables and if I feel like I need some protein, I request a few slices of cheese. For a little sweet snack that isn’t super caloric, I get a sliced apple with almond butter.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Schull has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her routine in an interview with Real Style Network. “I wash my face with only water in the morning and am fairly militant about my moisturizer and SPF routine. If I exercise and sweat, I use a makeup removing wipe (Burt’s Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes) to clean my face, and reapply my moisturizer and SPF in the afternoon. At night I wash my face and slather on the moisturizer again!”

5. She Doesn’t Use A Lot Of Hair Products

Schulle tells Real Style Network that she doesn’t like to use a lot of products on her hair. “I try not to use a lot of product on my hair. I think I am a bit of a nightmare for stylists because I am always trying to get them to achieve their desired look without any hairspray or gel. The one product that works best for my hair, and isn’t too damaging is hair wax. That is what I prefer to use on set for touch ups as well.”

Kristin Davis celebrated Earth Day in her workout clothes. In a social media post shared in April, the …And Just Like That star shows off her amazing body and makeup free face while frolicking with elephants. “Happy Earth Day!!

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Kristin is an acupuncture devotee. “I've been seeing the same guy once every 2 weeks for almost 20 years. I consider him my most central care provider. I do believe in the circuits of energy that acupuncture is all about, and I can honestly say that every issue I've ever had, acupuncture has helped with,” she told WebMD. “If nothing else, acupuncture forces you to simply take a few moments to lie down and relax, and there's a lot of good in that, too.".

2. Adapting Fitness As She Ages

Kristin has adapted her exercise approach as she has aged. "For instance, I used to do double [indoor cycling] sessions and I had thighs like a body builder to show for it! And then when I started doing more dance-based stuff I really didn't recognize my body -- in a good way," she told WebMD.

3. Baths

Kristin is a “bath person all the way,” she confessed Self. “I'm a bath person because (1) I'm a Pisces and (2) My back is killing me most of the time. I want to just lie there in a hot bath. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's awesome.” How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

4. “Everything in Moderation”

“It's not particularly sexy but I do think that everything in moderation is the way to go. I've never been into the intense diets or other extreme fads. My body is just too sensitive for that," Kristin told WebMD. “I love chocolate. I love pizza. Cookies. Ice cream. I kind of hate salad. Left to my own devices, I would eat like a 10-year-old kid. At work when it's late and there's pizza, it's all over."

5. Hiking, Elliptical, and Tracy Anderson

“I do a few kinds of cardio -- mostly I hike in the hills in Los Angeles, and I do the elliptical. I also do some of the Tracy Anderson dance workouts on my own -- mostly her series of arm moves. That workout is intense but crazy effective," Kristin told WebMD about her favorite workouts

Director, Amanda Pacheco, recently enjoyed time on the tennis court with friends. And she shared some photos from the day on Instagram. In them, they posed on the court with rackets and wore workout gear. Pacheco captioned the post, “We served.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amanda Pacheco stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Swims

Pacheco loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared these underwater photos of herself swimming with sharks in Hawaii. According to The Mayo Clinic, swimming has a lot of benefits. “Exercise in an aquatic environment offers numerous options and techniques for almost all levels of physical ability. Exercise can be as basic as walking in the water to more high-level aerobic activities, such as deep-water running or swimming. Standing exercises often are performed in water that is waist to chest deep. These exercises can focus on improving range of motion/flexibility, balance and strength. Resistance training can be amped up by simply increasing the speed of movement or adding equipment, such as mitts, paddles, noodles or bands, to increase drag.”

2. She’s Committed

Pacheco and her partner, Wilmer Valderama, make exercise a priority. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Wilmer and I were very intentional about starting a family, so at the beginning of the year we decided to get into the best shape of our lives, we started off by going HAM in the gym! This was #myhouraday exactly ONE YEAR AGO TODAY! Excited to get back in the gym with @jordanfperform and @wilmervalderrama.”

3. She Strength Trains

In her previous Instagram post, Pacheco is seen doing different workouts. She is seen using a weighted ball and dumbbells. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.”

4. She Does Planks

In her previous Instagram post, Pacheco is seen doing a plank exercise. Exercise physiologist, Katie Lawton, MED, tells The Cleveland Clinic that planks have a lot of benefits. “We need to keep our spine straight to do these exercises. Planking provides you with better core strength to be able to brace during these movements.”

5. She Does Squats

Pacheco loves to do squats. In her previous Instagram post, she is seen doing squats and lunge squats. Allina Health states that squats have a lot of benefits. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move.”

"I tried CoolSculpting and I didn’t personally have any results from that. And I’ve tried everything else and you know, having a C-section and the kind of endometriosis I have, things around the midsection … I’ve been uncomfortable, like physically uncomfortable.” She added that if she was willing "to basically give myself frostbite" she should try the real deal. "I did it and it worked," she said about liposuction. "And I feel a lot better about myself, so I wanted to share with people just because I can’t lie about myself. I can’t do it."
