This week Dakota Johnson dropped jaws at the red carpet premiere of Madame Web with a nearly naked look. The star showed off her incredibly fit physique in a crystal-encrusted, sheer spider web-inspired custom Gucci gown featuring a plunging neckline and low back. In case you are curious how she got into such amazing shape for the role, her trainer recently spilled the details on her workout routine.


1. She Did Sculpt Society Workouts with Megan Roup

Dakota enlisted the help of Sculpt Society founder Megan Roup. According to Roup, Johnson’s people reached out to her, as she was a longtime fan and member of her online dance-cardio and low-impact workout. “She's already so active, so she was in great shape [when we started],” explains Roup told The Zoe Report. “I would say her concentration was to build stamina and to build even more strength for the role, because her days on set are really long.”

2. Prior to Shooting She Took 45-Minute Classes with Her

Prior to shooting the movie, Johnson attended Roup’s 45-minute class in person, which consists of a dance cardio warmup, followed by full-body sculpting. “So that flow of the class is arms with three-pound hand weights,” she said. “We go back into dance cardio [still] with three-pound hand weights. We do standing legs. Sometimes I'll use sliders — I really love a slider in a sitting leg section. It really causes a little instability in a very functional exercise and it's just a little more challenging. And then we will go into plank abs, again, sometimes using a slider, sometimes using a band or a ball there. Then we would go into two glute-focused combinations wearing an ankle weight. [...] And then we end with dance cardio.”

3. When They Couldn’t Meet, She Used Her App

When they couldn’t meet, Johnson would do video workouts on the Sculpt Society app.

4. The 45-Minute Workout Involves a Warm Up, Low-Impact, and Functional Exercises

“I really love the 45-minute full body style, because it really sprinkles in that dance cardio,” she says. “It's just a nice way to warm things up, but your heart rate is up and then you're going into low-impact and functional exercises. Your heart rate continues to stay up. So it's a very efficient 45 minutes that really builds strength, it builds endurance, and those are all things that [Johnson] was really looking to achieve.”

5. Some Days She Would Do 30 or 20-Minute Workouts

Dakota,Johnson,At,The,Los,Angeles,Premiere,Of,'the,PeanutShutterstock

Some days she would have a 17-hour day, so each day I would give her an option of a 45-minute video to do on the Sculpt Society app, a 30-minute video, and then a 20-minute video,” says Roup. “So she could kind of pick and choose depending on her energy level, the time she could carve out, and how she was feeling.”

6. Sleep Is Also a Priority for Dakota

“I don’t have a regular [wake-up] time,” Dakota told the Wall Street Journal. “It depends on what’s happening in my life. If I’m not working, if I have a day off on a Monday, then I will sleep as long as I can,” she continued. “Sleep is my number one priority in life.” She says she’s “not functional” unless she gets at least 10 hours. “I can easily go 14 hours.”

7. She Also Mediates

Twice a day meditation sessions help Dakota with her anxiety. “I do transcendental meditation,” she told WSJ. “I’ve been really into breathwork recently and that’s been helping me a lot with anxiety.”

1. She Worked “Hard” For Her Body

In the new Instagram post, Jana explains that it isn’t a “thirst trap” photo, or an “I want attention post” or a “post to make you compare your body to mine,” but is more about her feeling proud of her body. “Because when I look at this photo, I see strength. If I’m honest, I lost a little too much weight after my divorce, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the number I saw. But that’s an unhealthy way to look at it. It should never be about the number. It should be about how you feel,” she explained. “I have been actively becoming strong again for me. I look at this pic now and I’m proud of myself for the hard work and commitment to loving myself. This body made two beautiful humans. I’m proud of my body." She mentioned feeling even better after her breast augmentation and promoted Natrelle Breast Augmentation.

2. She Works Out with a Trainer

Jana does a lot of cardio on her own in her home gym, but works out with Nashville based personal trainer-to-the-stars Erin Oprea as well. In a recent Instagram story, she revealed that they pretty much follow Oprea’s Pretty Muscles app workouts. “I work out with Erin two times a week,” she explained. The duo do “a ton of squats, sumo squats, lunges.”

3. Running Helped Her “Lean Out”

Oprea also got Jana into running. “I hated running and now I love it,” she confessed. “It’s helped me lean out.”

4. She Is Proud of Her Body

Jana’s go to diet rule? “I personally think everything in moderation,” she revealed. “I had a chocolate chip cookie last night. I will eat another one tonight. I don’t think you should deprive yourself of anything. I think, eat when you are hungry. But all-around diet is how I do it.”

5. Exercise Boosts Her Mental Health

“Still not feeling 100 percent,” Jana explained earlier this year in an Instagram story video. “But I'm still going to run it out, sweat it out." She once explained to Us Weekly that the mental health benefits of exercise are a motivating factor. “Working out for me is my sanity…Even just going for a walk, that is a place where I come back and I'm like, 'I feel good, I feel balanced. Working out is 100% how I stay level."

If you want a body like Eva Longoria, you are going to have to work for it! The 46-year-old kicked off the week by revealing what an average workout session looks like for her via social media. “I just finished. Bounce, weights, trainer. Never miss a Monday. Never. Miss. A.

Read on to see 5 ways Eva Longoria stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Does This Squat Combo

Eva-Longoria-2Eva Longoria/Instagram

Because just doing a squat wouldn’t be enough for Eva, she showed off a combination move. In her banded squat to side kick, she wears an exercise band around her thighs, squats, and then kicks a leg out to the side. Then, she squats again, and kicks the other leg out. Want to steal Eva’s workout style? In this clip she wears Buffbunny Collection's Rosa Sports Bra ($48) & Rosa Pocket Bike Short in Vineyard Dark Red ($54).

2. She Also Does This Modified Plank

Most people struggle to execute a standard plank, but not Eva. She is in such fantastic shape that she can do an extremely tough modification, which involves planking and then rotating her body to the side, back into plank, and then to the other side. She shared a video of this move over the weekend. Eva also wore Buffbunny in this workout video, the Revolution Sports Bra ($48) & Rosa Legging in Midnight Navy ($68).

3. Her Leg Workout Is Intense

To kick off 2022, Eva shared a video detailing her leg workout, and it was just as brutal as you might expect. For most of the moves she wore her resistance band to maximize the burn as she squatted, lunged, and kick-backed her way through the routine.

4. Here Is What Her Overall Workout Routine Looks Like

According to another one of Eva’s videos, she starts her workouts with some stretches, followed by some exercises on her JumpSport trampoline—including a variety of crunches. Next, she lifts weights. “I do very heavy weights,” she told Women’s Health in the March 2022 issue. “I feel like my body changes the most when I do that—I wear a heart rate monitor, and I can see my heart rate spike from just doing a heavy bicep curl,” she added. After lifting weights, Eva does some more ab exercises, including bicycles. Finally, she stretches.

5. She Works Out Daily

Eva works out every single day for up to 75 minutes. “If I have to wake up early and take a flight, when I land, I’ll go for a walk because I didn’t get to work out,” she told Women’s Health. “Even if it’s just stretching, I need to do something.”

2. Music Motivates Her and Makes Her Workouts Fun

Lupita clearly infuses some fun into her workouts with the help of her favorite music. “Faith in myself is always renewed when the beat drops... #waitforit,” she captioned a recent video, breaking into dance after completing an exercise with dumbbells. #bodybossing

3. She Fuses Weights and Cardio

In another workout video, set to Ace of Base, she makes weight lifting double as cardio, punching dumbbells to the beat of the music. “Punching through with Ace Of Base #bodybossing Starting the week with the right energy and the wrong words,” she captioned it.

Lupita revealed to Essence that she sacrificed sweet stuff to get into Black Panther shape. “It was only once we wrapped that I realized I was on a sugar-free diet,” she said “We could have fruit, which is a good sugar, but no fructose or refined sugar. But we could have carbs, which are good when you work out as much as we did, and we weren’t eating less. We actually had to eat smaller meals every three hours. I never got bored. I’ve never worked on a project like this where there is a diet and a workout plan.”

7. She Gets Her Zen On

The actress knows the importance of getting her zen on. Yoga and meditation are a big part of Lupita’s life, she once revealed to Vogue.

One of the key ways Vanessa stays in sensational shape is by working out daily. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade about her workouts. She tries to get her workouts in as soon after waking up as possible. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

2. She Did Sumo Squats with a Kettlebell

Vanessa started off her mini workout video, which was first shared by her trainer in May, by perfectly executing sumo squats with a kettlebell. The compound exercise is incredibly effective, forcing a variety of muscles -- including glutes, quadriceps, calves -- to workout together. Clearly she was having some fun with her fitness routine, as she playfully stuck out her tongue for the camera.

3. She Did a Side Squat with Resistance Band and Medicine Ball

In addition to weight and strength training, Vanessa stays in shape with lots of other workouts. Pilates, Soul Cycle, hot yoga, and strength training are a few of her favorite workouts—and sometimes she even does multiple workouts a day. “Some days when I have the time, I love doing Pilates first and then going over to Soul Cycle. I love a double up!” she told Parade. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up. I’ve been going to this Pilates studio called WundaBar for years and it’s just a great deep muscle-training workout. It’s not super high intensity but I always feel it the next day.”

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
