How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Pilates

Sarah is a big fan of Pilates. "I honestly think I've gotten taller since I started doing Pilates," she says. She does the workout with Sam and Susannah Cotrone of Cotrone Fitness in West Hollywood, CA. "And my posture is totally different, no more slouching!" she told Self. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

2. Exercise for Mental Health

“When I get stressed out or anxious, I usually need to exercise. I need that endorphin rush and to get outside in nature. That’s what helps me the most. It’s like going to church for me,” Sarah told Best Health about her motivation to sweat.

3. Sleep

Sarah understands the importance of getting rest. “I try to get enough sleep and not beat myself up for needing a nap. Sometimes I feel guilty when I want a nap. So this year I’m trying not to beat myself up for it,” she told Best Health. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

4. Healthy Diet

Sarah sticks to a healthy diet, trying to eat unprocessed, fresh food. "I eat my fresh fruits and veggies and other whole foods. I avoid wheat and dairy, but I occasionally indulge. My husband is from Europe. He believes that cheese makes the world a better place,” she told Healthy Living Magazine.

5. Surfing

Sarah recently picked up surfing. According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.
