Kravitz recently shared a photo of herself in two-piece workout gear on Instagram. She received praise in her comments section. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Zoë Kravitz stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Worked With A Trainer

To play Catwoman, Kravitz worked with trainer Harley Pasternak. He shared with Men’s Health that they worked out each filming day. "We would work out five days a week, because they film five days a week," Pasternak said. "And we'd work out during a typical 30-minute lunch break, but it was usually 25 with them. Each workout starts with cardio warmup and then we do circuits of upper body and lower body, then abs and then a cardio cooldown. All in 25 minutes."

2. She Makes Wellness A Priority

Kravitz tells Vogue that she makes sure to make wellness a priority. “I try and drink a lot of water, and I think it’s all about balance. I think it’s about joy, happiness and laughter because those really effect the way you look and feel. I also love to steam—I love to sweat things out and I think it’s good to keep the body moving.”

3. She Does Cleanses

Kravitz revealed to Vogue that she does a cleanse each year with her mother. “Every year, my mom and I try and do the Dr. Schultz 30-Day Detox together. It’s a 30-day cleanse that focuses on all your different organs, so your bowel, your liver, your kidneys, your gallbladder and the bowel again. It’s just a nice thing to reset your body every year. If you don’t do that cleanse, take a week to eat raw and natural foods as a way to let your body relax because it’s constantly working to process everything that we’re putting in it. It’s like giving your gut a vacation.”

Kravitz shared her daily routine with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she likes to use the elliptical at the gym. “I try to work out when I first get up. Otherwise I'll go late at night, like 10 P.M. I think it helps me sleep, and it's very important to sweat and move your blood. My gym in Brooklyn is really small, and I'll just go on the elliptical for 30 minutes, long enough to work up a sweat, and then I'm good.”

5. She Uses Steam Rooms

After working out, Kravitz tells Harper’s Bazaar that she likes to go in a steam room. “I also love steam rooms, because it helps get all the toxins out and rejuvenate your body. And I do stretches and sit-ups at home, like leg exercises and stuff. I've worked with a lot of trainers over the years for shows and films, so I know enough about fitness to do things on my own at this point.”

Zoë Kravitz is heating up the March 2022 issue of Elle! The 33-year-old actress sizzles in the latest issue of the fashion magazine, showing off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit. In the accompanying interview, the daughter of rocker Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet reveals all of her secrets to healthy and happy living— and how she got into the best shape of her life to play Catwoman in the new movie, The Batman (in theaters March 4th).

1. Her Catwoman Workouts Were Intense

Zoë got into insane physical form for her role in Catwoman. After spending eight hours filming, she would return home for three hour workouts. “Obviously, you want to look good in a catsuit, but I wanted it to be realistic that I’m able to do anything in this film,” she told the magazine. “So I had to be strong. I got stronger than I’ve ever been. That felt good, to see what I was capable of. I felt confident—and I could kick some ass.”

2. She Knows When to Turn Off the Background Noise

After being accused of showing too much flesh at the 2021 Met Gala, Zoë was the subject of nasty trolling. “Being uncomfortable with the human body is colonization/brainwashing. It’s just a body. We all got em,” she responded to one commenter. However, the online backlash bothered her. “The fact that people don’t think what they say affects a celebrity because you’re not a person to them is crazy,” she explained to Elle. “I’m a human being. I want to ... defend myself.” A week later she knew it was time to take a hiatus from social media, deleting all of her Instagram posts and posting only once during the remainder of the year. “The fact that I’m like, ‘Should I have not worn that?’ No, I do what I want to do, and I make what I want to make, and if I’m now starting to be afraid of what other people are going to say or think, I’m no longer doing my job as an artist."

3. She Is On Her Own Life Schedule

Zoë is calling the shots when it comes to her timetable and isn’t paying attention to the traditional biological clock. “We all go from being the baby, where you’re like, ‘I have so much time.’ And then, all of a sudden, your gynecologist is like, ‘Want to freeze your eggs?’ And I’m like, ‘I hadn’t even thought about that.’ But I don’t feel pressured to have kids by a certain time, if I ever have kids. This idea of like, you’re 30. You’re a grown-up. Now you’re supposed to have kids and stop having fun, because that’s for children—I bought that for a second. It was like, ‘I don’t go out anymore. I just make roast chickens.’ But I still want to go on adventures, have fun nights, and see the sunrise. It’s been an interesting journey of remembering that there’s no finish line that I have to get to by a certain time. Playful, mischievous behavior is something I always hope to have, even when I’m 70 years old. The point of being alive is to experience life and play with it. There’s still so much fun to be had,” she says.

4. Writing Is Her Outlet

Zoë reveals that when she’s assessing her emotions there are “moments where I’m like, ‘Okay, I’ve been smoking and drinking maybe a little more than I should—let’s look at what’s going on.’ And then I’m like, ‘I should call a therapist.’ And sometimes, you need to dance it out. I think all of them are okay for a shortened amount of time,” she told Elle. Writing music for her upcoming album is one of her emotional outlets, and helps her process her feelings. “It feels vulnerable, and it’s a little scary, but making music makes me happy,” she says.

5. She Makes Time for Self-Reflection

After The Batman production shut down during the pandemic, she headed to upstate New York with her husband and dog and spent time in self-reflection. “My life changed after that,” she said. “It was a gift, just taking the time.” Shortly after she filed for divorce.
