Suits Star Gina Torres in Workout Gear is “Back at Working Out”

Suits and 9-1-1: Lone Star legend Gina Torres is back to working out after a break. “Hey everybody. Happy Friday. So listen, today was my first day back at working out after having to take a few months off old injuries, new injuries, nursing them, taking care of them, travel, being sick,” she said. “So listen, I want you to hear this, okay? What I'm telling you right now with my full chest, it's important to keep moving for your health because what I'm feeling right now is—,” well, what she said next we can’t print, and Torres bleeps the word with a hilarious shrieking sound effect. Let’s just say it’s a synonym for, she’s feeling the burn. Here are more of her wellness tips.

1. She Has a Great Take on Aging

When asked about her place in the industry, Torres told Cherry Picks: “I can honestly say that I am profoundly grateful to have gotten to this place in my career. I’ve survived! And I’m hardly the only one. There is a lovely and growing list of women of my generation who are being embraced and valued for the richness of talent they bring to the work. I could not have imagined when I first started out that the roles I would be getting at this age would be as interesting, challenging and across so many genres. One thing I would love to see change is the obsession with physical perfection at EVERY age. The pressure to achieve and maintain an unnatural state of beauty is beyond damaging.”

2. For Self-Care, She Tends to Her Hair

“Sharing a little self care moment,” Torres captioned one post, shouting out LaShandra N White. “Some of the amazing styles that @1nicnac creates for me on @911lonestar require a lot of smoothing and controlling products. You big hair & curly girls know it’s not about washing it out and styling everyday…. So midweek ~ to avoid too much buildup, I keep my crown protected and just give the perimeter some extra love and conditioning. Have you ever done this?? What’s your go to for hair care? Let’s share some tips!”

3. She Tries to Make the Most of Her Time

“Frankly, there’s just never enough time. The hours that actors keep are brutal. If you’re fortunate to be based in your home town, then maybe you get to drop them off at school or be home for dinner. But sometimes you need to travel and be away because the vast majority of us have to go where the work is. The only advice I can give is to make the most of the time you get, and to be kind to yourself. You’re not doing anyone any favors by punishing yourself for holding down your household and/or following your dream, not to mention being an example of a fully realized woman,” she told Cherry Picks.

4. She Has Perspective

She’d tell her younger self to “hang in here. “I would tell that to my 35-year-old self. The messaging is the same, which is: What is yours is yours. It doesn’t matter the road you choose to get there, you’re going to get there. You can get there quick, or you can take the scenic route, and that’s all about choice. I firmly believe your blessings are yours, and we get them when we’re ready. We get them when we’re supposed to,” she told Glamour.

5. It Really is Important to Keep Moving

“As we age, our bones can become weak and fragile. This causes a condition called osteoporosis, where bones lose density and the risk of fracture increases. The good news is, as little as 30 minutes of physical activity each day can help strengthen your bones and prevent osteoporosis. Weight-bearing activities such as walking, jogging and climbing stairs are great places to start,” says Sun Health Wellness.

1. She’s Motivated By Food

Everyone has their own motivations for wanting to work out and stay in shape. For Torres, it’s the possibility of enjoying her favorite indulgences. She tells GTalk that cheat days are her biggest motivation to stay in shape. “Like I work out six times a week so that I can eat on Sundays, I can eat sweets, I can eat bread, anything I want,”

2. She Embraces Her Body’s Changes

In a revealing Instagram post, Torres opened up about her journey with self-acceptance. She says that she is embracing her body at all sizes, no matter what. “I learned the hard way is that your body will inevitably undergo changes & you can’t stop it,” she wrote. “As you go along your journey, there will be more to discover & understand. Your body will start to react differently,your needs will change so you might need to step out of your routine & reassess.”

3. She Goes Outside

Torres loves to spend time in the great outdoors. Her Instagram feed is littered with photos of herself enjoying time outside. She posted this photo of herself on a porch swing in the forest, captioning it, “Ah nature, you truly are my sanctuary.” She also posted this photo of herself ice skating at the Cosmopolitan.

4. She Does Workouts She Hates

Torres is open to doing all types of workouts. Even ones that she’s not the biggest fan of. She tells GTalk that she hates doing ab exercises, but still does them often. “I hate ab exercises but I have to do it talaga until it hurts and parang you have cramps.” This is clearly working for her, as she’s got an impressive set of abs.

5. She Indulges In Her Cravings

Torres tells GTalk that she doesn’t believe in depriving herself and going on restrictive diets. “You’re gonna mess up because that’s so far away,” she says. Torres also says that she has one cheat day a week to indulge herself, and then for the rest of the week, she finds herself not craving unhealthy food. “In the morning, first thing I eat three cookies, then I eat ice cream, crispy pata, burger, talagang the whole day I treat myself then the next six days I’m good.”

Tatiana Suarez is ready to rumble again after injuring her knee in December—to add insult to injury, it happened on her birthday! Suarez, 33, shared a picture of herself wearing shorts and a black t-shirt, jumping during an intense group training session. “Good to be back 🙏🏽🙌🏽 Let’s go! #champ #hardwork #mma #ufc #wmma,” she captioned the post. “Can’t wait for the title run!!” Suarez is becoming legendary for getting injured and getting back up again, time after time. Here’s what Suarez’s diet and training looks like.

1. Cardio and Strength Training

Suarez trains seven days a week, doing a combination of cardio and strength training. “I'm a great wrestler, I know I'm great at jiu-jitsu, I'm great at kicking," she told Women’s Health. "So right now, I've been focusing a lot on boxing because I know that it's probably my weakest thing. It's also given me a newfound respect for boxers. I can't wrestle yet. I drill it, but I can't bend my knee all the way. When I'm in [training] camp, there's not so much emphasis on cardio just because I do cardio throughout my workouts."

2. High-Protein Diet

Suarez avoids processed foods and sugar. "I ate a lot of high-protein foods and healthy fats like olive oil on salad, chicken, steak, eggs, and avocado," she told Women’s Health. "I also incorporated fish oil, creatine for when I spar, and Thorne's Curcumin Phytosome, which helps a lot with my inflammation."

3. Proud To Fight

Suarez is proud of how many women are entering the fighting world. “I think women in combative sports has drawn a new way of how women are viewed,” she told Forbes. “It was once taboo for women to be in combative sports. Now, people believe every woman should be able to defend themselves. What was once viewed as ‘manly’ is now viewed as strong and beautiful.”

Suarez injured her neck in 2011, after which doctors found a cancerous growth on her thyroid. Then in 2021 she had to take a step back after the ACL, LCL and MCL injuries. Recovery was not easy. "I had to keep my diet a certain way, and I had to do certain exercises for my neck every day, and they were so tedious and boring," she told Women’s Health. "Not only that, but I couldn't do what I love, which is to go live and do my sport. At that point, I was like, 'I thought that patience was the lesson that I was supposed to be learning when I was going through my neck injury. And then I hurt my knee, and thought, 'Well, I don't get it. What more could I have done?'"

5. Knee Injury Recovery

Suarez was careful not to push herself too hard after her knee injury. “The good thing is that there’s nothing actually anatomically wrong with my knee,” she said on The MMA Hour. “So that’s a good thing. But I just didn’t want to go ahead and try to push through something that wasn’t doing what it [was supposed to], because my knee was really inflamed and I didn’t want to try to grapple through something and then actually hurt my knee badly. Because it is the knee that I had surgery on, so I just didn’t want to go ahead and mess with that, especially because my actual injury was so severe. I mean, I tore every ligament in my knee.”

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."

Heather Rae El Moussa is opening up about her post-pregnancy workout. In a new social media post the Selling Sunset star shows off her amazing body-after-baby and reveals the program she followed to get back into shape the healthy way. “Let’s talk about my postpartum body….” she started the Instagram caption. Here is everything you need to know about how the reality star got her body back without going to extremes and training with Paulina Hefferan.

1. Her Postpartum Workout Journey “Wasn’t Easy”

Heather starts by explaining that her postpartum workout journey “definitely wasn’t ‘easy’ and didn’t go as expected,” she writes. “I thought I was going to bounce back within 9 weeks!! HUGE LOL but the reality of being a mom to a newborn, breastfeeding, 2 kids, balancing my hormones, my work, my marriage and my life set in.”

2. She Found a New Way to Workout at Home with Paulina Hefferan

She reveals that she “didn’t want to leave the house and leave Tristan to workout,” so she knew she needed to change the way she worked out and what fit for her “new” life. “It was hard guys, I felt weak, old & not super motivated. I had never been someone who lifted weights or did at-home workouts until I met @paulinastein. It was a complete change for me but I lost 25 pounds, leaned out & got my strength back while working out with Paulina.” She adds that the workouts are “accessible and affordable.”

3. She Lost 25 Pounds

“Believe it or not, you guys, I lost 25 pounds postpartum and I did it straight from my living room using two 10 pound dumbbells, a mat, sometimes some ankle weights, sometimes some bands,” she continues in the video.

4. Paulina Helped Her Feel “Really Comfortable”

“Transforming your body after a baby or any time in your life is not easy. It takes a lot of discipline. It takes a lot of structure. It takes someone pushing you Sometimes, especially if you're like me. After I had Tristan, I thought, okay, I'll be back at the gym. I'll be back in hot yoga. I'm going to get my body back in nine weeks. Reality set in, and that did not happen. I don't think I really started working out until I met Paulina. She made me just feel really comfortable. She made me feel like this is a slow journey. This is my journey. I don't need to compare myself to anyone else,” she says.

5. She Worked Out While Tristan Was Napping and Even with Him

She adds that she was able to get the exercises in, even with her baby, because Paulina is “also a mom,” and the fact that I can do it from my home, I can incorporate Tristan, I can do it while he's napping, made me say yes and made me feel like, you know what? I can do this. Working out with her changed my life. I am so proud of myself.”

6. Her Body Was “Back” After Four Months

“I started really noticing that, wow, my body is back around eight and a half months postpartum, and I had started working out with Paulina when I was about four and a half months postpartum. Now that she has this app on days, I can't work out with her when I'm traveling, I can use her app, could work alongside with her, so it really makes you want to do it because she's doing it with you,” she concludes.

7. Walking and Weight Lifting

On Paulina’s Instagram page, she reveals that “lifting weights” and “walking 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day” along with a healthy diet is the perfect equation for weight loss.
