What I do I try different things ahead of time, I don’t get stuck in one rut and I don’t do the same workout for more than a month at at time.
A simple ballet wrap sweater heats the back muscles but is easy to put on or take off without disturbing a dancer’s makeup or hair before a performance or during a workout.
Three days a week I do wrestling, as that’s the best workout for the whole body.
I get up at 6 A.M. after sleeping for six hours, as I feel that is the ideal time that my body needs. I start my workout at 7 in the morning, with 10-15 minutes of warming up.
If you do a full-on workout and then eat McDonald’s or Wendy’s, you’re defeating the purpose. If you put good things into your body while working out, you’ll see results.
I don’t have an offseason workout regimen. I don’t lift weights. I don’t run. I don’t do anything. I let my body rest. I just eat good. I actually eat great.
I do a lot of planks. I feel like the plank is the most underrated core workout; that’s one of my go-to moves.
I personally have to go to the gym for a solid workout in addition to my dancing days, and not because I think I need extra exercise, but because I know my body and it’s become an important part of my daily routine.
I eat a salad every single day. I also have been doing the juice ‘thing’ after every workout, and I try to drink a half-gallon of water a day.
You don’t need equipment of any kind to get a good workout in. In fact, you can get a good workout in the smallest of spaces, from a dorm room, to a studio apartment to a hotel room.
I attend dance class every alternate day, and it works like a cardio workout for me. I also do weight training in the gym every alternate day.
I honestly don’t think I have one specific style. One day, I could be wearing a workout track suit, and another day, I could be wearing overalls and a tank top. Or I love a slip with corset. It just honestly depends on where I am in the world and what I’m doing and how I’m feeling that day.
A boxing workout is the heaviest thing, but it’s the best. The worst part is that boxing gyms are the smelliest things in the universe. You have to lie down on the floor, where everyone has been sweating and spitting, and do 1,000 situps and push-ups.
In period films, it always helps to have someone built to carry a sword, and Channing Tatum clearly hasn’t missed a workout for the past two years, so he fits the bill in that regard.
I used to be a workout fiend and I was so unhappy because I wanted to eat what I wanted to eat. So now if I know I have to be in a bikini, I’ll obviously watch what I eat for a week.
Even though I know I can work out at any point in my day, I set a time that I want to get this workout in by. I set times when I’m waking up and having breakfast. Finding a few things you can stick to in your daily routine is helpful when there’s a lot of uncertainty and your scheduling is really off.
Researchers found that sharing your workout results – whether it’s through actually being friends on a specific app or calling friends to tell them how you did, even posting your results on a social platform – usually pushes people to work even harder.
I was the original voice of Mattel’s Barbie for an ’80s claymation workout video.
All the sudden high-impact stress can really take a toll on your body. So if you still want to be active and get in a good workout, go to a yoga class or pilates class, or get in some strength and conditioning.
I always love to share my workout routines on my social media.
For me, it’s about moderation and discipline, and that’s something I picked up from my dad. I don’t believe in rigorous workouts but believe in eating right, going to bed early, and getting a proper workout.
People will say, ‘How do I get abs like you?’ I don’t know. We’re all different. If my girlfriend did what I did, hiking and yoga for a workout, it would affect her body in a different way. That’s the message that I really want to get out there. I’m trying to counteract that culture.
I wake up, I’ll scramble some eggs, cook some bacon, have a few pieces of toast, yogurt, smoothie, whatever it might be. I’ll then workout, whether it’s outside, inside, bike, weights, whatever I have access to, however creative I can be.
I was 19 when I discovered Pilates, and I’m still doing it. It’s the workout my body really responds to. It’s all about alignment, elongating your spine, and strengthening your core. It makes me feel my strongest.
Yoga is the best holistic workout and body toner there is. It sorts out a chaotic mind and calms the body – it is how I de-stress – or stop myself getting stressed in the first place.
Women always ask me how to get back in shape after having a baby. I always say, ‘Know when’s the right time for your workout and commit to doing it.’
When you break a sweat you just feel great. You’ve got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren’t able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat.
After a training camp workout, my body is eager to replace nutrients and energy that are lost during the workout. It’s best to have a quick bite about 30 minutes after practice. I like to have yogurt and granola, the combination of carbs and protein helps me recover after a long and tiring workout.
I have a punishing workout regimen. Every day I do 3 minutes on a treadmill, then I lie down, drink a glass of vodka and smoke a cigarette.
Our small ears never had such a workout as on the Fourth of July, hearing not only our own bursting crackers but also those of our friends, and often the boom of homemade cannon shot off by daring boys of 16 years, ready to lose a hand if it blew up.
My training has always been really tough. I’ve always worked hard. I’ve always been very committed to my training and focused on my workout.
I like to do a mix for my workout because I find that when you do the same workout, you get bored of the gym, and also, it’s great to shock your body.
I enjoy yoga a lot, not even for the workout.
Not only do I not drive, I don’t have my driver’s license; there’s a story there, but the upshot is that I spent my high school years an ardent environmentalist and workout junkie who wanted to save the environment, burn calories, and have my boyfriends drive me around.
I love playing tennis. To me this is not a workout, but a fun extracurricular activity I do with friends so it doesn’t feel like I’m working out.
I thought I knew how to work out before I immersed myself into boxing. I now know what an extreme workout really is.
I think the best time to approach a woman is actually after her workout. When you’re working out, you’re playing your jam, you’re in the groove, and you don’t want to be interrupted. So guys, wait until she’s done getting her sweat on.
You get a world-class athlete like Hershel Walker, who was a Heisman trophy winner and did some amazing things, but he had a martial arts background. He did kickboxing. He had a combat sports background. It was just rekindling that training and that martial arts workout ethic. He got back into it and did quite well.
The majority of us spend anywhere from three to ten hours – or more – being active and working out every week. Why not develop a skill and get better at something while you are getting the best full-body workout?
Eat healthy and do not forget to workout, this is going to build your immunity.
Jumping on the trampoline for even a half an hour is a really good workout. You get really tired. The next day, you’re feeling it. And you really have to use your core. If you don’t, your lower back hurts the next day.
I never get bored of a workout, because I feel great after a session.
The guys who don’t get a lot of minutes, you get a lot more practice, you’re on the ice, you’re getting maybe a better workout, though you might not be getting all of the game stuff.
I do as many fun activities as possible. A lot of hiking, beach bike riding and walking. And cardio barre, which is a dance-based workout at a ballet barre. It’s a full-body workout for one hour on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in a studio.
I think they say that when you’re breast feeding, you know, your weight kind of slims down. It’s a little easier. It’s like a workout within itself. It’s very tiring actually and you find yourself snacking more often.
You cannot exercise and be amused about it. You cannot integrate the dying bug into your core workout and hold to the position that you are a spiritual being. In this way, the body and the mind are each other’s opposite unto death, which is why you have to choose which of them you are going to follow.
I can’t surf, so I swim. It’s the best workout I’ve ever known because it works your entire body.
You’re never going to get your best workout if you’re feeling sore and you’re going to feel sore if you don’t stretch.
If I do a film and have to get naked, that tends to dictate how often I go to the gym. Acting in ‘Richard II’ on stage was a huge physical workout, so I ended up more toned than I normally am.
Once you learn the basic rules of good nutrition, you’ll realize it’s not so complicated. It doesn’t matter if you’re running errands or 13 miles, you need enough fuel to last all day. Proper nutrition is the difference between feeling exhausted and getting the most out of a workout.
