In an Instagram post captioned, “Blink Twice in theaters August 23rd 🌴,” Zoë Kravitz absolutely stuns in her chic black gown that fits her body like a glove. The American actress broke into the Hollywood scene, known for her roles in X-Men: First Class, the Fantastic Beasts series, Divergent, Big Little Lies, and Mad Max: Fury Road to name a few. Her impressive career aside, she focuses a lot on health and wellness, prioritizing her well-being. What does she do to stay fit and healthy? We did some digging to find out.

1. She includes floor exercises

Zoë always makes time for floor exercises, including anything from leg workouts, sit ups, and even good old-fashioned stretching. “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,” she said.

2. She squeezes in a workout

Regardless of how busy she is, she always prioritizes squeezing in a workout. “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,” she told Harper's Bazaar. “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.”

Zoë works hard to avoid processed foods, and keeps her body healthy with supplements and by hydrating. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine recommends the following for daily fluid intake: 125 ounces (3.7 liters) for males and 91 ounces (2.7 liters) for females. But here’s the thing: Consider those numbers a starting point.” Professionals say you need to factor in your diet, metabolism, location, size, physical activity and health.

In addition to focusing on avoiding processed foods and staying hydrated, she takes supplements to maintain her health, as well, like probiotics and fish oil. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “proponents claim that fish oil can lower your risk of heart disease by decreasing blood pressure and cholesterol. That’s because fish oil supplements are a pill form of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been studied for decades and have proven benefits for heart health.”

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.”

4. She Uses The Elliptical

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.”

“I’ve been working for a decade and I never once thought about building a vacation into the schedule,” she recently told Porter. “I’ve been trying to establish boundaries for myself, so I can lead a life where I’m not living to work,” she says. “The scary realization is that an actor who does nothing but act is kind of boring. If I do that, all I can talk about is acting. Or myself. And I refuse – I refuse – to be an uninteresting person!”

4. Anxiety Is Her “Superpower”

Zoey once revealed to Cosmopolitan that she has struggled with mental health most of her life. "I came into this world with anxiety. I used to hold my breath from anxiety when I was a baby and it would make me faint,” she said. "There are times when it's debilitating. And there are times when it makes me laugh, like in the car today when I lost the plot entirely. But I actually feel like my superpower is my anxiety. It's one of my key motivators and it's at the center of my ambition."

5. She Has a Go-To Self-Love Mantra

“I love something my mum told me once - I do believe some of the simplest things in life are the most profound – that, ‘you are enough, and you are really beautiful.’ I think that is really comforting and I think people need to listen to that and learn from that,” she told Glamour UK.

6. Her “Greatest Passion in Life” Is Eating

“My greatest passion in life is food and eating. I’ve always had those passions, but I didn’t really show the world until now, on my Instagram. I’m getting a lot of accusations, like, ‘Who’s cooking for you? Who did this?’ Nobody is like, ‘Wow, beautiful work!’ Nobody wants to believe it’s me. But that makes sense, because I can’t do anything, so they’re confused that I can do this. The other day, someone was like, ‘You know, Zoey, you don’t, like, ‘do things.’ You don’t like games or sports.’ I was like, ‘Am I the most boring person in the world?’ But yeah, I have nothing else except food and — sort of — acting,” she told Vulture.

7. This Is Her “Therapeutic Outlet”

“One of my therapeutic outlets I’ve been missing, which I didn’t realize was such a factor in my life, is loudly singing in my car,” she confessed to Vulture. “Like, I’ll sing in my house or in my shower or whatever, like other people, but I also spent two hours a day screaming pop music in my car. And I genuinely think it’s affected my happiness that I haven’t been able to do it. I think I’ve cracked the code for why, when I’m on-location, I also feel sad. So the other day, I just sat in my car for two hours and sang really loudly.”
