Vikings Star Katheryn Winnick In Workout Gear Does Boxing Exercises

1. Training Regimen

Winnick loves outdoor workouts whenever possible. “A combination of weight training, fighting, boxing, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, horseback riding and kayaking,” she told Vogue. “I feel exercise is incredibly important for both the mind and body. It is important for me to stay consistent with my exercise, especially with such long hours and multiple locations.”

2. Water and Face Oil

Winnick swears by water and oils to take care of her skin. “I drink a lot of water at room temperature and I pretty much chug it at once versus sipping. It’s important to stay hydrated all the time,” she told New Beauty. “Right now, I’m shooting in Albuquerque, so it’s important to also have hydrating oils for my skin. Instead of lotions, I find that oils absorb better. I’m also religious about cleaning my face two to three times a day. Before bed, I make sure to take off all makeup and sunscreen from the day. And of course, sunscreen is huge for me. In the morning, even when I’m driving, I put sunscreen on my face. It’s really important to make that part of your daily routine.”

3. Five Meals a Day

Winnick loves juicing and drinking tea. “I believe in drinking hot water and lemon every day, as well as mint tea,” she told Vogue. “I eat a strictly gluten free diet. I believe it’s helped me increase my energy, as well as keeping me fit. I try and stick to a base of vegetables and proteins while also trying to eat more often, about five small meals a day. It is important to sustain energy throughout the day. I also love juicing.”

4. Bathing Before Bed

Winnick always takes a bath at the end of the day. “I take a bath every night no matter what time I get home,” she told New Beauty. “It also teaches my body that it’s time for bed. The hot water ensures I don’t take a long bath and it’s a great way to steam and help take off my makeup, even if it’s just for five to 10 minutes.”

5. Martial Arts Background

Winnick has a background in martial arts, and says that’s what she would be doing if acting didn’t work out. “At the age of 16, I started my first business running a martial arts school called WinKai Martial Arts,” she told Vogue. I had three schools in Toronto by the time I was 21. I fell in love with teaching self-defense to families and young women. Since I love business, if I weren’t an actor, I’d get more involved with being an entrepreneur and building things in a positive way.”

While in the Maldives, Frida got an outdoor workout in, starting with kickboxing. “Dream Gym,” she captioned the post.

2. She Strength Trains

In the same post, Frida also shows off some of her strength training moves, including doing weighted squats. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

3. She Does Yoga

Frida is also a devoted yogi, even managing to get a session in when surrounded by her kids. “Love a peaceful yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️session,” she joked in this photo. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. She Has a Workout Buddy

The couple that sweats together, stays together! Frida has the ultimate workout buddy – her husband. The two even spent last V-day at the gym sweating together. “Valentine’s Day @jab_box with my girl . You killed us @george__veness,” Jaime captioned the post.

5. She Runs

Frida also enjoys running, especially when it involves helping other people out. “Great morning running for such an incredibly important cause,” she captioned one of her Instagram posts.

Katherine McNamara is scuba diving – and posing in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the Shadowhunters stars flaunts her amazing figure in a swimsuit and workout gear during a scuba diving trip in the tropics. “We’ve got the right #PADI-tude and are feeling fin-tastic today! 🤿 Shore can’t wait for you to sea @thequeensjewelsmovie. 🏴‍☠️💎 So, water you wading for, let’s get kraken and dive in, shall we? 🐙 🐠 🌊,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top diet and fitness tips.

1. Be Disciplined

As an actress, Katherine is no stranger to shaping up fast for a role, which takes discipline. She had less than four weeks to transform her body from “this ballerina, lithe-limbed body to a marine—and then on top of that, be ready to do all of this fighting and stunt work this film required,” she told Women’s Health about how she got in shape for Air Force One Down. “I just dove in headfirst into all different kinds of training and really worked hard. But it paid off in the end.”

2. Work Out Twice in a Day

Katherine is no stranger to twice a days – exercising once in the morning and another round in the evening) prior to filming. “When you're doing a day of stunts on set, it's like being a dancer,” she says. “It's over and over and over again in these 30 to 60-second spurts of super intense, maximum-effort fighting,” she said. When the movie started filming she would wake up at 4 a.m., do an hour on the treadmill or bike for an hour, and then another hour of weight training. After a 13-hour work day she would return to the gym for another round of strength training.

3. Show Up, Even When You Don’t Want to

“I think the most important thing I learned is: It's just get yourself there,” Katherine recommends. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”

4. Fuel Up with Protein and Fats

Katherine keeps her body fueled with health food, like chicken, vegetables, and scrambled eggs, and sometimes a potato, for carbs. “I just tried to stay pretty clean and get as much protein and fat as possible, to keep my body going but without having to work through anything processed,” she says.

5. Try HIIT Workouts

According to Katherine, to prep for her role as Clary Fray on Shadowhunters, she trained for intense fight scenes with HIIT workouts. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she told Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints." There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

6. Boxing

Boxing also helped her get in fighting form. "It builds the shape of muscles I needed to look like a fighter, and it's just plain fun," she says. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

According to ACE Fitness, “Lunges primarily target the lower body muscles, but they’ll call on your core muscles, too, because they’re a unilateral (one-sided) exercise. Lunges can be a top strength exercise to add to your fitness routine. There are dozens of ways to vary them, either by altering the move or adding resistance — and the payoff for doing them is big, namely a stronger lower body.”

Allina Health reports that planks have a lot of benefits. “The plank is a simple, effective bodyweight exercise that strengthens your core, as well as muscles in your upper and lower body.

Hirst is seen doing bicycle crunches in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Unlike the standard abdominal crunch that works just the front of your midsection (aka the rectus abdominis), the bicycle crunch exercise works those front muscles, your side obliques and even your lower body a bit. Plus, it's a fun way to add in some variety when you get bored of the basic crunch or plank. So, are bicycle crunches effective? If you want a stronger core to improve your athletic performance or help support your back (or both!), the bicycle crunch is a great move that should be incorporated into your exercise program.”
