Sofia Vergara (51) has multiple trainers that keep her body fit and healthy. She works out five times a week for an hour or more. Another one of Vergara’s trainers solely works on her glutes – lots of squats and lateral raises. Her workout routine isn’t for the faint of heart, but it does provide results. And Vergara is clearly not afraid to show off those results for the world to see!
Vergara may look like she doesn't eat anything unhealthy, but she's known to have an especially strong sweet tooth. While she says she eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, she also eats desserts during the weekend. The one thing she does stay away from is salt because she states it makes her eyes look puffy the following day. Whatever her secret is, it's definitely working. We might have to give this a try ourselves!
Kate Beckinsale is perhaps best known for her romantic roles in films like Pearl Harbor and Serendipity, as well as action roles such as the Underworld film series. Occasionally, doing some modeling, she has managed to maintain an excellent figure throughout her life, despite being 47 years old. Not everyone who is pushing fifty looks as good as Beckinsale does!
According to New Beauty, to stay in shape, she works out often and eats plenty of protein, including chicken, eggs and salmon. And, of course, she eats her greens too. All of it seems to be paying off. If Beckinsale looks this great at 47, she definitely has nothing to worry about when it comes to aging gracefully!
Those abs don’t come easy! Halle Berry (57) loves to MMA train and uses kettlebells. This is one actress that we definitely wouldn't want to pick a fight with! On top of that, she embraced the keto diet. Berry has been a diabetic most of her life, so she's always taken food very seriously. It sounds like a lot of work, but all her effort has definitely been paying off.
Berry has said, "If you're like me, you can possibly reverse type 2 diabetes, you'll experience better physical endurance, better sick, and also less acne if that's an issue." It's great to hear that Berry has gotten her health problems under control, but it also doesn't hurt that she's managed to sculpt the perfect physique in the process as well!
Jennifer Love Hewitt (44) steals the red carpet every time she walks out. To maintain her body, she exercises a lot. In fact, she considers exercise to be her hobby because she loves it so much. It doesn’t matter what kind – HIIT, strength training, cardio – she loves it all. Since it’s her hobby, she works out all the time, every day of the week. We've never heard of loving exercise, but it's clear that her devotion to staying fit has paid off in spades.
Hewitt tries not to keep bad foods in her fridge because it’s easier than self-control. Since she only eats 1500 calories a day, there’s a lot of stuff she can’t eat. Her diet consists of high-protein, low-carb meals, like avocado and tuna salad. As for snacks, she grabs fruit since it's low-calorie and highly nutritious. She also completely eliminated alcohol and dairy from her diet. Where she finds the self-control to maintain such strict dietary standards is a secret, but this is one mystery we'd love to get to the bottom of!
Salma Hayek’s (56) figure seems unattainable, especially since she’s regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. The first tip she offers? Keep a good posture. Keeping your body upright forces your muscles to work all day long. She also does short but regular HIIT or cardio workouts seven days a week for 30 minutes or less. If having perfect posture keeps you looking this good, then I think it's time we all break out a few books to balance on our heads!
Hayek is a big proponent of juicing. From a young age, she's loved making her own juice with organic fruits and vegetables. Since she's a foodie and avid cook, she doesn't restrict herself. Diets aren't really her thing, but moderation helps keep her waist thin. All that might sound pretty simple, but moderation is easier said than done! Kudos to her for her actually being able to practice what she preaches.
Jessica Alba (42) is pretty strict with her workout routine. She takes spin or hot yoga classes every morning – something she does instead of sleeping in. We’re not sure how she manages that. Even though she loves YogaSculpt, she mixes it up with hardcore physical workouts to keep things from getting too dull. All those challenging workouts may be exciting, but we imagine that they're pretty exhausting too! We think we'll just stick with dull.
Diet is also an important aspect of her life. She sticks to a diet that’s low in sugar and carbs while high in lean proteins and vegetables. However, she can’t deny herself anything. If she has a craving, she has to satisfy it. “When I do feel that I am depriving myself, I find that I binge. That’s not a balanced way to go about it,” Alba tells Elle Australia. That's a pretty level-headed way to look at things, and it's nice to know that she isn't starving herself to maintain this perfect figure.
Shakira’s (46) hips don’t lie – working out is extreme for her. To keep a figure like her, she works out six days a week on top of tons of dance rehearsals. Her fitness routine follows the same structure, but she switches it up to keep things fresh. While some days she focuses on HIIT, other days she does circuit classes. It sounds like a pretty grueling routine, but the results speak for themselves. How she finds the time and energy for all that exercise is beyond us, though.
Being a mom of two, it's hard to see how she has so much time! Eating is much more consistent with a parent – she eats small meals throughout the day. Balance is essential to maintaining her figure, so she only eats fresh and healthy meals, excluding anything with sugar or dairy. Shakira is still known to have a cheat day here and there, though. But as good as she looks, we imagine those cheat days are pretty few and far between—you don't get hips like that by slacking off all the time!
Elizabeth Hurley (58) was the dream woman of the ‘90s, and not much has changed. She’s still looking good, and that’s thanks to her exercise and diet plan. Hurley doesn't have a strict exercise routine but stays active throughout the day. On weekends, she'll go for long hikes with her dogs and stretch every day. Occasionally, she'll go to a yoga or Pilates class, as well as do stomach, arm, and butt exercises at home. Learning how to incorporate exercise into your everyday routine is definitely the way to go—the less it feels like exercise, the better!
Hurley prioritizes water throughout the day. She wakes up and has two glasses and follows it up by drinking water throughout the day. Making yourself drink all that water almost sounds like a workout itself! Processed foods are also a huge no-no. She'd rather have something simple, natural, fresh, and easy. In her own words, “When I’m at home in the country, I always try and eat food that’s grown locally. That goes for meats and vegetables.”
Cindy Crawford's (57) go-to exercise is equal parts cardio and strength training, with 20 minutes of cardio (trampoline, treadmill, or elliptical) and then weights. She also enjoys going to a pole dancing class with her friends. Crawford tries to squeeze in a workout at least three times a week. She may make it look effortless, but when you see everything she does actually written down, it looks completely exhausting! She works hard for that body!
Then there’s her diet. She has one strict rule: no processed food. Diet-wise, she doesn't eat "crap," and she "doesn't eat a lot of packaged foods." She'll go for a protein shake for breakfast, salad for lunch, and something healthy for dinner. Considering how much she's exercising each week, it makes sense that her diet only has one strict rule—with that many workouts, you could basically burn off anything you ate!
Gabrielle Union (50) has been very concerned about her health for quite a while. During an interview with Women's Health, she stated her family has a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. So, she wanted exercise to be a big part of her life. It's sad that her fitness lifestyle originated from medical fears, but it has left her looking better than ever...even at 50!
Union focuses on doing full-body compound exercises that work multiple muscles at once. She also loves strength training, cardio for at least 15 to 20 minutes a day, and Pilates. When she's exercising, she does her best to do it outside to soak up as much vitamin D as possible. Another huge secret? Water, and tons of it. As far as her diet, she’s mostly vegan. That sounds like way more than most of us are capable of, but amazing results require amazing effort, and that's something that Gabrielle Union is clearly not lacking!
Reese Witherspoon (47) is a lot like us when it comes to exercise – she isn’t the biggest fan. She still does it, but not to the extremes of other celebs on the list. She does cardio for 30 minutes a day, six days a week. Yoga retreats are her favorite exercise, but she’s also known to do Body by Simone workouts a few times a week. Her workouts might not be as intense as some other celebs' routines, but her consistency when working out is what has led to such jaw-dropping results!
Like many of today's celebrities, Reese Witherspoon thinks that diets should be whole and balanced. It's no longer the '90s when crash diets reigned supreme. She works closely with nutritionist Kimberly Snyder and adores her Glowing Green Smoothie. The smoothie has actually become a celebrity go-to. Reese doesn’t restrict any food from her diet, including carbs, which is her self-acclaimed favorite late-night snack. Whatever her diet philosophy may be, it's clearly working for Witherspoon! She looks great, and we imagine that she'll continue to be stunning for years to come.
Thandie Newton, star of Mission: Impossible 2 and the hit HBO series Westworld looks fantastic for her age – or really just, period. One way she does it: yoga. If you can get looks like hers from yoga, then sign us up to be twisted into a pretzel! As you might suspect, there's more to the story of how she stays so fit.
Thandie Newton is a vegetarian, and she told Stylecaster that filling your plate with colorful foods is the best way to go in terms of dieting, saying, "It's key to make sure you have a lot of color on your plate. The more colorful the food, the more beneficial it is." We don't know if we could ever say goodbye to meat for good, but clearly, this vegetarian lifestyle is doing wonders for Newton's looks and physique!
Cameron Diaz (50) has a body to die for, so what's her secret? Variety. Her exercise routine is never the same because she's constantly changing her surroundings and working out different muscle groups. Diaz prefers anything outside and anything that makes her feel strong, whether that's yoga, Pilates, strength training, or cardio. For her, making sure that she keeps moving is much more important than the specifics of her workouts. It's a laid-back approach that has paid off for her!
The real secret is diet. This reformed, self-proclaimed fast-food addict has largely cut anything fried out of her diet. Instead, she aims to eat a Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes fresh produce, fish, and olive oil. Diaz explained how a balanced, nutrient-rich diet helped her skin, made her feel better, and look fantastic. Maybe it's time for a trip to Greece to see if this Mediterranean lifestyle can work wonders for us!
Christie Brinkley (69) has always been outspoken about being a vegetarian. She's practically avoided meat since she was 12. Brinkley has maintained a consistent workout routine since the '80s, but she also switches it up to keep things new. While Brinkley's modeling days might be behind her, she looks just as good as she did, gracing the covers of magazines in the '70s and '80s!
Because she's constantly busy, she fits in what she can when she can. While working on musicals, dancing is enough. However, she also walks down the beach and moves her arms like she's swimming. Brinkley also adores yoga. Her active lifestyle has clearly served her well over the years, and she's showing no signs of slowing down yet! What could be in store next for this gorgeous woman?
It's hard to believe that Gisele is even 43 now, but she is. The supermodel works hard to stay in shape and look young. Of course, diet and exercise play a huge part, but obviously, the supermodel has some inherent natural beauty going for her too. However, even genes can only take you so far, and the star has put in plenty of hard work to keep her body in such outstanding shape.
According to a Marie Claire article, Gisele has a strict dietary regimen with mostly organic foods because she believes in supporting local farmers. While most celebrities seem to be hitting the gym, Gisele prefers getting her exercise outdoors. Some of her go-to activities are biking, horseback riding, and skiing. That honestly sounds a lot more fun than sweating it out in the gym, and it's probably one of the biggest reasons why she's able to stick with her active routine.
Kate Hudson, daughter of Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn, and stepdaughter of Kurt Russell, had great commercial success as an actress in the 2000's. But even as the roles have gotten smaller in recent years, Kate Hudson hasn't stopped taking care of herself. While her diet and exercise regimen might not be as strenuous and demanding as some others, she's still putting in plenty of hard work to ensure that her physique stays as fabulous as possible.
In Women's Health magazine, Kate Hudson says she works out three to four times per week. She tries to eat a plant-based diet but isn't afraid to indulge and enjoy life. She even drinks in moderation, and none of that has kept her from looking so good at her age. She's living proof that hard work and a little consistency are the key to feeling and looking great as the years go by.
How old would you say this woman is? Would you guess she's actually in her 50s? Pretty remarkable that she still looks to be in her late 20s. Donna D'Errico is an actress and model who once posed for Playboy as Playmate of the Month in September 1995. However, you probably recognize her from Baywatch. Wherever you may know her from, one thing is clear—she's got a great physique for any age! We're more than a little jealous!
How does Donna do it? Well, she eats healthy and exercises regularly, but that isn't all. Unlike some of the other stars on this list, she isn't afraid to say she went under the knife a few times. She's had fat removed as well as work done on her butt, underarms, lower back, stomach, and thighs. We can all say the results speak for themselves. Despite the fact that she may have gotten a little help from the plastic surgeon, she still looks great for her age!
Demi Moore (60) looks as youthful as ever, and we have the details on how she does it. When she's preparing for a role, she works out pretty hard – we’re talking exercising for three hours and wrapping it up with a six-mile run. If a film isn’t in the future, she focuses on staying fit and toned by targeting trouble areas. For her, that's her arms, stomach, and lower body. Does this wonder woman ever take a day off? Her amazing physique makes us think, "probably not."
Moore tries to eat as healthy as she possibly can by consuming organic, natural foods. She typically follows a raw vegan diet, which completely nixes cooked foods. This sounds like a major sacrifice and headache to manage, but the results of this strict diet speak for themselves! We just don't know how she does it. A few other celebs have jumped on this train, including Uma Thurman and Natalie Portman.
Anyone that's seen a Jennifer Lopez (54) music video or concert knows that she has a body that doesn't stop. Lopez actually works with two trainers to put together a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) routine that works her muscles to the max. After all that hard work, it's no wonder that Lopez isn't afraid to flaunt the results. She looks as good at 50 as she did at 25!
She also combines it with strength training, kickboxing, and ab workouts. Just thinking about all that is exhausting! Like other stars, she says that water is the most important thing you can give your body. Because of that, she nixed caffeine and alcohol from her diet. She also eats clean, whole foods for a nutrient-rich lifestyle. It's clear that Lopez isn't afraid to work hard, whether it's her career or her body! And all of her hard work has definitely paid off for the singer.
Denise Richards clearly knows how to keep herself looking smoking hot. She doesn’t leave anything to the imagination, but who would when you have a body like hers? Some would say that she looks better than she ever has, but how is this even possible? Lots of hard work and dedication. Not everyone can look as good as she does because most of us wouldn't want to work as hard as she does!
Even though she’s a mom, she finds time to be very active. She does Pilates and dances as much as she can. On top of that, she makes sure that she’s a vegetarian for at least 80% of the food she consumes. As if that wasn’t enough, she eats little meals throughout the day. During an interview, she stated her food was mostly “fruit, veggies, egg whites, oatmeal, a little chicken, and rice.” We would definitely need a bigger meal after working out as much as she does!
Jane Seymour (72) heads to the golf course whenever she has time, but she mixes up her routine with Pilates. In fact, she’s been going to the same Pilates class for over 30 years! For her core, she specifically works out using isometric exercises, which she says helps "maintain a flat, toned stomach." Her routine doesn't sound particularly crazy, but it's clear she knows how to have a good workout. She's basically a Pilates master at this point!
As far as diet, Seymour doesn't eat any junk food. Instead, she munches on produce from her own garden. Now, we love some good fresh produce, but a life without junk food just sounds too hard to handle! We have no idea how she does it. Also, being a sommelier, she indulges in sweet French wine regularly. Now that is one diet tip we can get behind wholeheartedly!
Rihanna has one of the best bodies in the biz, and you’d never guess that she was over 30. To keep that body, she lives by a list of staunch rules, but it’s something everyone can abide by. RiRi makes sure she never skips breakfast. She also tries to eat balanced meals even when she isn’t at home. It's clear Rihanna knows how to party hard, but she's managed to keep an amazing figure even with a wild and crazy life.
As far as working out, she does what’s called the Supraformer worker. This is a program that’s an intense Pilates-inspired workout that is designed to push you to the limits. She also has two personal trainers – yes, two! It seems like a bit of overkill to us, but we're not the ones with the fantastic physique! Finally, she drinks tons of water. It’s all about staying hydrated, which helps your body and your skin.
On top of resistance training (like hamstring curls), Garcelle Beauvais (56) incorporates Pilates and treadmill exercises into her routine. As far as diet, she eats healthy but doesn't do anything crazy. It's all about balance. It's clear by her amazing physique that Beauvais has managed to strike the perfect balance in her own life. She's proof that you don't have to resort to crazy diets or workouts to look great.
"If I'm with my kids and it's pizza night, I am having a couple of slices, for sure. And then the next day, I'll have something a little healthier." That's a perfectly reasonable attitude to have about things, and this life philosophy has definitely not steered her wrong so far! If she's got any other diet and exercise secrets up her sleeve, she's not telling!
Ashley Graham is famous for being voluptuously curvy, but even this body takes a lot of upkeep. She starts every morning with a smoothie that’s packed with nutrients. Then, for breakfast, she has a green juice that “keeps the doctor away,” according to her. It has kale, lemon, ginger, beets, apple, and parsley. We're on board for some of those ingredients, but some of the others are just straight-up questionable!
Graham is all about that snack life, and for dinner? Healthy fats and meats. As far as her workout routine, she loves kickboxing. That’s her thing, and she never misses a day. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t occasionally grab a bowl of mac and cheese every now and then, though. Graham may know how to put in the hard work it takes to look great, but she's obviously not above indulging in the more delicious parts of life as well!
It isn’t easy being a multi-platinum country artist with a hot physique, but Rimes makes it look easy-peasy. Not only is she the youngest person ever to win a Grammy, but she’s also racked up every award and accolade you can get in her field. All that work has to be stressful, but you couldn’t tell. It's obvious to see that Rimes isn't afraid to hit the gym for a hard workout every now and then!
Rimes’s hot body is all thanks to a healthy, energizing diet. She’s all about nutrition and how you can pack as many nutrients as possible into your body using whole foods. That's a pretty straightforward approach to eating that still allows her to have a little tasty fun every once and a while! Recently, she’s been promoting eating cauliflower bowls, but that doesn’t mean she avoids pizza and cake like the plague. She still indulges every now and then.
Kim K (and the rest of the Kardashian crew) manages to stay fit, toned, and stunning, so how do they do it? Chances are, they follow the same nutrition plan as their sister, Kim. She made headlines for fitting into an original Marilyn Monroe dress, but it wasn’t without effort. The woman exercises and eats better than anyone we know. As much as we hate to admit it, it's obvious that Kardashian knows how to work hard when it comes to her body.
Kim works out five to six days a week with the HIIT method. That sounds completely exhausting, and we're amazed that she has the energy to do anything else after working out like that. As far as diet goes, the first thing she did was go seriously Konmari on her food. She threw out anything with bad ingredients and restocked with whole foods like blueberries, chicken, sweet potatoes, and other ingredients that are packed with vitamins and minerals.
Talk about an enviable figure! Emily Ratajkowski is what we’d call #goals. You’d never know she works night and day to keep her figure looking like this. Unlike some other stars on this list, she starts her morning with coffee, so she loves some caffeine. She also goes out to dinner, but she tries to eat as healthy as she can. It doesn't seem like she stresses too much about strict diet rules, but she's definitely got the willpower to say no to temptation.
Exercise is where she really picks up the slack. She spends as much time outside as she can, doing yoga, getting in some cardio, or whatever else she can. It's wild to think that her squeezing in a workout here and there is more than most of us do at all! While she doesn’t hit huge hours at the gym, she tries to stay active whenever possible. That makes her a huge outlier, but she’s doing something right.
Penelope Cruz's (49) workout routine was a lot stricter before having a baby, and now, it's all about Bikram yoga for 90 minutes a few times a week. She still does traditional workouts with personal trainer Gunnar Peterson. Even those exercises are geared toward dance routines and strength training. Whatever dance moves she knows, they're clearly working wonders for her figure!
Penelope Cruz isn't one to make things complicated. Her diet consists of eating foods that make her feel good and nixing things that don't. She relies on self-control to keep herself strong and healthy. Normally, she eats plenty of lean proteins, whole grains, fresh veggies, and nuts. It's no surprise that this beauty adores avocados, too. All in all, it sounds pretty delicious without a lot of confusing diet rules to remember!
While Michelle Keegan was naturally skinny when she was thinner, she now has to work to get the body she wants. It’s something anyone can understand. What you may not understand is the restrictions she puts on herself as far as diet is concerned. Namely, Keegan has banned red meat from her diet. That sounds pretty extreme for most of us. Who can say no to a good, juicy steak?
Dairy is also on her hit list, but she’s just working on cutting it back currently. Finally, she tries to avoid anything too carb-loaded late at night, especially when she’s prepping for a photo shoot. As far as exercise, she works out three times a week. The routine is heavily focused on HIIT training for at least 20 minutes, followed up by a weight session. That's less working out than some celebs do, but when your diet is so strict, you don't have a ton of calories that need to be burned off!
Carmen Electra (51) was the lifeguard you wanted to save you at the beach, and that statement is still true today. Electra's exercise routine hasn't changed up much over the years. When she was younger, her parents put her in dance classes, and even today, dancing is her exercise. She does aerobic stripteases and other dance DVDs. There are no bizarre exercise machines or top-dollar secret trainers necessary for her to perfect her physique!
To keep her body bikini-ready, she drinks tons of water – and we mean tons. Before she even starts her day, she drinks two bottles of water (yeah, we said two bottles). She drinks more water before breakfast than most of us do all day! After that, she fills up on fish for protein while adding fruits and vegetables on the side. As far as carbs go, Electra adores sushi, so there's no cutting rice—she's got to have some kind of guilty pleasure, right?
Making the new 55 look like 30, Julia Roberts has a rigorous exercise routine. Roberts studies yoga and trains four times a week for an hour. She admittedly doesn't love exercise, but she loves the results and how she feels afterward – that’s something we can all relate to. Unlike most of us, though, she actually has the willpower to follow through and put in the hard work! She also does step aerobics to spice things up for at least 40 minutes of body work.
Her diet is a little less extreme. Roberts believes food should be enjoyed and balanced. She loves carbs as much as everyone else and eats them (as long as they’re nutritiously whole foods). Since she’s a stay-at-home mom of three children, mealtimes are a family affair, and she uses this time as a way to teach her children about food. Roberts repeats, “You have to eat the good stuff to get the good stuff.” We'd have dinner at her house any time!
Iskara Lawrence was more than happy to share what she does for her health, and we’re all happy to listen. The number one thing she does is avoid fad diets, binge eating, and refined foods. The latter is just full of sugar and junk. What surprised us was that she also avoids coffee and alcohol! We don't know if we could ever part with those last two, but everything else she does sounds pretty reasonable and doable.
Working out is another thing she pays close attention to. She loves to do squats, which works out her legs and abs – we can see it! Lawrence also does an 8-Minute Abs app. For everything else (and for her stress), Lawrence does something called aerial yoga, which combines yoga, Pilates, and dance in a special hammock. We're not sure how doing complicated yoga poses in the air is supposed to be anything but stressful, but we're glad it works for her!
Taraji P. Henson is an American actress known for her roles in such films as Hustle & Flow, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Date Night. A major breakthrough for this actress was her role in Hidden Figures in 2016, for which she won a Screen Actor’s Guild Award. So let's get this straight—she's had a wildly successful career AND she's managed to maintain a great figure all these years? How in the world does she do it?
According to Henson’s trainer, as detailed in InStyle, “She’s the type of person that if you tell her she can’t do something, she’s definitely going to want to do it even harder. Her focus is second to none." It was also said that she usually trains seven days a week and does an hour or two of weight training and cardio. We can understand exercising regularly, but seven days a week? She's a stronger person than we are!
How can such a busy woman stay in shape? A lot of hard work! Bullock (59) works with Simone De La Rue, a celebrity fitness expert. De La Rue created the Body by Simone training technique that helps everyone get a stunning body. Bullock alternates every 10 minutes between high-intensity cardio and strength-training. That's a long list of workouts, but they are clearly doing wonders for Bullock's physique. How she manages to stay so dedicated is beyond us.
Bullock's diet secret is fresh food and portion control. She chooses meats that are free-range and hormone-free while also picking sugar-free and gluten-free items. Another secret from this celeb is to eat all day rather than big meals. This keeps your metabolism going strong. We don't know if we could ever say goodbye to sugar for good, but eating all day sounds like just the diet for us! It's probably much harder to manage than it seems.
Amber Rose always has to stay beach ready. What’s really helping her is that she joined Dancing with the Stars, so all those moves are sure to get her muscles toned. That isn’t all she does, however. She also spends a lot of time doing yoga to promote weight loss, reduce stress, and increase strength. Whatever her secret is, she should keep at it because it's definitely working for her! Surely she's got some sort of crazy diet to follow, right? Wrong!
Rose also makes sure to practice portion control. It's not the most exotic or extreme approach to diet, but even something as small as that can work wonders. What’s her real secret? A waist trainer. She says she wears a waist trainer at least six hours a day to maintain the dramatic hourglass bikini body she loves to flaunt. She says it's comfortable! We’re not sure how, but keep on rockin’!
Charlize Theron (48) has a body to be envied by men and women, and she works hard at it. Even her own trainer said, “Charlize is an extremely serious, focused, professional, no BS, balls-to-the-wall client.” For exercise, she practices ballet-type exercises – certainly a unique way to stay in shape. She also practices strength training and Pilates. Theron's big efforts have led to great results for the actress, so we can see why she would stick with her routine.
According to Life and Style magazine, Theron prepares for a role with plenty of push-ups, bicycle crunches, kettlebell squats, and bench step-ups, among other things. She tries to eat healthy foods and avoids oily or processed ones. She prepares for a role the way some athletes prepare for a bodybuilding competition! We could never do it, but we love seeing someone else's hard work pay off too. Theron has definitely earned her great body...and then some!
We all know that Sheryl Crow (61) gets plenty of vitamin D by soaking up the sun, but she does a lot more to look good. Crow considers meditation to be a huge part of her life, doing it for 20 minutes every morning and night. She's also a fitness fanatic. Her workouts start with a 10-minute walk on the treadmill, followed by core work, planks, pull-ups, and plyometric work. How she manages to do all of that twice a day is beyond us!
Crow's diet is a “pseudo macrobiotic diet” (in her own words). She eats whole grains, fresh fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. Since she loves seafood, many of her dishes include Omega-3 rich fish like tuna. Crow also snacks quite a bit, but each snack is less than 150 calories. They usually consist of things like bananas, apples, cantaloupe, and almonds. That kind of diet doesn't sound half bad, and it's clearly been working wonders for Crow!
Eva Mendes (49) has a workout routine that's something the rest of us can do. When she isn't preparing for a role, she goes to the gym three times a week. She loves cardio workouts like interval running and sprinting. Mendes says she gets more from this than steady cardio for 45 minutes. If she's filming, she bumps up workouts to five times a week. Her workouts almost sound like a full-time job to us!
Normally, Eva Mendes will try to eat clean – the keyword being “try.” She has a huge sweet tooth for Cadbury Creme Eggs, and she says she barters with herself all the time for when she can eat one. She’ll also drink a soda once or twice a week, but she wasn’t clear whether this was a zero-calorie soda or not. She's definitely found the perfect balance between indulging and staying on the straight and narrow. Her results speak for themselves!
According to Jen (54) herself, she works out seven days a week for an hour and a half with no exceptions. As far as exercise, she boxes, jumps rope, does strength training, and works with a lot of resistance bands. That sort of routine sounds like it's grueling, but Aniston has clearly got the willpower to stick to it. You don't get a physique like that by slacking off every day!
As far as what she eats, she says her diet is a big part of it. She eats "as [many] organic fruits and veggies" as she can while keeping "sugar [intake] low, [drinking] tons of water, and get good sleep." Her diet, unlike her workout routine, sounds like it's much more doable; although, it's still not just some walk in the park! But you can't argue with the results, and things have definitely paid off for Aniston!
Jada Pinkett Smith is 51 years old, but it sure doesn't show anywhere on her body! Acting for over 20 years, she has always looked her very best. On her show "Red Table Talk," Jada Pinkett Smith describes taking care of her body as "an act of self-love" and apparently loves herself every day. She makes a point of doing so because her looks are important.
Jada has told BET that part of her daily routine includes 20 minutes of cardio exercises every day. She also does wall workouts, online sweat sessions, and towel workouts. But it's not all work. Sometimes she gives her body a rest. It's important to give your body time to relax and recover from intense workouts, that's for sure. Plus, it helps the mind on top of that.
Star of Body Double, Something Wild and Working Girl, Melanie Griffith is 66 years old, but you wouldn't guess it from her body. Heck, she honestly doesn't look a single day over 30 when you get down to it. In 2019, the actress revealed her secrets for maintaining a slim, tight body at her age. A workout video on Instagram reveals her whole routine. Bless her for providing us with her workouts. She sure does look great!
In the video, Griffith is seen performing a variety of workouts, combining strength training and cardio exercises. Doing these exercises is essential at her age because it helps her maintain as much muscle as possible because we all gradually lose muscle mass with age. She also stays active outside the gym, enjoying activities like hiking. Additionally, Griffith backs the initiatives of Children's Hospital Los Angeles by actively participating in Walk for Kids, a local 5K event that aims to generate funds for a pediatric inpatient facility. Sounds like she lives a pretty active life!
Kourtney Kardashian may not be in the news as much as Kim, but she’s still a pretty big deal. As a television personality, socialite and model, she has found much success on social media and from her reality shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Now in her 40s, she still looks as great as she did over 10 years ago. If anyone knows how to keep themselves looking good, it'll be a Kardashian.
In December 2020, Kourtney Kardashian detailed her body care routine on her lifestyle platform known as Poosh. To keep her body looking youthful, she uses an exfoliating mitt in the shower with a high-quality body wash, and afterward, she keeps her skin hydrated with vegan body butter and topical magnesium oil. The skin is one of the most important organs in your body, and Kourtney is sure to nourish hers.

It may not be a surprise to some that Ross (55) is a fitness fanatic. In the past, she used to be a cardio junkie, but recently she's incorporated weights at the behest of her personal trainer. She trains really hard, and when her body hurts, she balances it out with a little yoga and massages. All good things in life come with a little bit of balance.
Ross attributes her health benefits to drinking a lot of water, decaf green tea, and supplements like Omega 3, but she also works really hard on her body. She stays away from processed foods and aims for a vegetarian diet. By now, we all know that processed foods can be terrible for the body...but they're so good and easy. Kudos for her staying away from it all.
Nicole Kidman has been a prominent Hollywood actress since the 1990s. Her early films included Far and Away, To Die For, Batman Forever, and Eyes Wide Shut. In 2003, she earned an Academy Award for her work in The Hours, where she played writer Virginia Woolf. She also played a huge role as another legend, Lucille Ball, in the drama film Being the Ricardos. There's nothing this woman can't do.
Nicole Kidman has told the Los Angeles Times previously that she eats pretty much anything, but the key to her success is moderation. Ass for activity, the actress told Extra that she does sit-ups, and also said that she loves to run and swim. For her skin, she puts on an SPF 100 sunscreen every day.
As Jennifer Garner (51) moves into her 50s, it’s clear her health consciousness has seriously paid off. This woman looks so young, we think she might actually be immortal. There's just no way. Garner is another celeb who works with Simone De La Rue and Body By Simone. She does this plus strength and cardio training four to five days a week – at least when she isn't prepping for a movie.
While exercise is important, nothing can outrun the fork. Garner’s diet is pretty strict, and she takes her diet very seriously. She works with Kelly LeVeque, a celebrity nutritionist that's known for “Be Well by Kelly Diet.” That being said, she doesn't deny herself anything. Garner adores baking and cooking, so she eats what she wants in moderation.
Kristen Dunst has had huge commercial success with roles like Mary Jane in Spider-Man as well as success in independent films like Melancholia. She's also done some TV recently, such as her role in season two of Fargo. This actress has had no problem keeping busy or staying in shape. She's able to balance her work and working out at the same time? She has some great time management skills!
At the age of 41, she looks just as good as ever. To keep her skin pristine, she avoids the sun as much as possible. She uses organic beauty products and keeps moisturized. To stay in shape, she engages in workout classes, according to Hello! Magazine. She also eats healthy for the most part and plays tennis for fun.
Gwen Stefani (53) hasn’t aged a day since she was the lead singer of No Doubt. It doesn’t come without a ton of effort. When talking with Harper's Bazaar, she says, “There is no secret: You just have to eat healthy, work out, and torture yourself!” She does HIIT training, circuit training, and full-body cardio four times a week for 60-70 minutes per session.
Gwen's diet is a lot less intense, which she can afford to do since her workout routine is so hard. She mostly eats a vegan diet, although she will go through periods of carb cycling. Sometimes she’ll avoid pasta, bread, and rice but indulges every now and then to keep her body fit. Other than that, Stefani drinks tons of water – a common theme with fit celebs. Water is the best thing for your body, we're learning.
There are few people who are prettier than Monica Bellucci. She's like what Sophia Loren was in the '50s. Monica Bellucci, the 58-year-old Italian actress, has starred in The Matrix trilogy, Spectre, and The Passion of the Christ – just to name a few of her hit films. And while she looks just as beautiful as she did 20 years ago, she doesn't have too many beauty tips to share.
She doesn't go to the gym, and she pretty much eats what she wants. Could you imagine having a life like that and looking like she does? Nah, there's a secret sauce somewhere in her genes. She does, however, keep moving – always having something to do. Unfortunately for us, it seems her biggest secret is just having good genes.
It would seem unusual that Kristin Wiig, a woman of 49 years, would be cast as Cheetah in WW84 if it weren't for the fact that she doesn’t look it. Kristin Wiig boasts a beautiful beach body, and it's thanks to a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is full of fiber, nutrients, and a ton of water, so we're guessing that's a big reason why she stays so fit. Who woulda guessed?
Kristin Wiig has no meat in her diet, whatsoever. Instead, she eats tofu and soy as a replacement. She also drinks plenty of water and cranberry juice. When she wants to indulge -it's "melted cheesy sandwiches" or "Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms" according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sometimes you just can't not eat chocolate and cheese.
Courtney Cox is best known as Monica on Friends as well as Gale Weathers in the Scream films, Several Scream films later, it's amazing how incredibly she has kept in shape. According to Cheat Sheet, the 59-year-old actress maintains a toned body and firm abs with the help of a personal trainer. Having a personal trainer is a pretty great idea because they can help you target specific areas that might need a little more work.
Strength training is a huge part of it, but diet also has helped tremendously. Cox has been maintaining a low-carb diet while drinking plenty of coconut water because it's full of tons of nutrients! On top of this, she avoids caffeine. How she manages that? We have no idea. Most people can't survive the day without a good cup of coffee (or two or three). Whatever she is doing is working well for her, and we can't knock it, even if we can't follow suit.
Known for her roles in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films and Pulp Fiction, Uma Thurman has also maintained a toned body over the years. While we want to believe it's all those fight scenes, it's a lot more work than that. At over 50 years old, the talented actress stays fit with a healthy diet. Her organic diet consists of eggs, fruits, veggies, and milk.
When it's time to film a movie like Kill Bill, though - it's time to hit the gym. Her workout routine consists of cardio exercises like jumping jacks, as well as pushups, crunches, and squats, to name a few. That makes sense because Kill Bill looked like it took a ton of workouts just to do some of the moves. It wasn't about looking fit but actually completing everything!
Heather Graham, another hit actress from the '90s is now in her 50s, which is impossible to believe. Her secret? Yoga. Graham has been practicing yoga for over 20 years now. She also does Pilates and loves dancing, too, according to Insider. Keeping moisturized is key to her excellent-looking skin.
On top of that, she tries to eat better. She says she used to eat a lot of sweets and was a big sugar person. Honestly, we feel that. Now, she says she can't do that, and it's all about healthy eating. Still, she doesn't restrict herself. She still eats what she wants in reason, with portion control being at the heart of her diet.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, from films like The Mask of Zorro and Chicago, has stayed fit and healthy with a diet and exercise routine that keeps on giving - or rather taking off years, that is. After watching her performance and dance routines in Chicago, it's obvious that she puts a ton of work and muscle control into her workout routines.
However, that isn't the most important thing. To her, the most important of all, Catherine Zeta-Jones says, is to keep hydrated. She works to maintain a perfect pH balance and doesn't drink alcohol. She lives an active lifestyle, according to an interview with W magazine, that includes swimming, tennis, and tap dancing. She also has an at-home gym.
How does Christy Turlington Burns stay so fit? It's a question we've been wondering for a while. Since her late teens, Burns has had a yoga and exercise routine. Did you know she's a six-time marathon runner? " Right before a marathon starts, there’s almost always that feeling of, I can’t believe I’m doing this again. But after, I feel euphoric.” After the marathon? A good salt soak to wash away the aches.
As far as her diet, Christy Turlington Burns (54) finds that eating good is the path to feeling good. She's a big believer in moderation. "I'm not one to binge eat or starve myself...I do a juice cleanse once a year and have done since I was in my early twenties." She also leans toward vegetarianism, which seems to be popular amongst many fit stars.
Jennifer Connelly has been acting since the 1980s with her debut in the film Once Upon a Time in America from Sergio Leone. She was in other notable ‘80s and early ‘90s films such as Labyrinth and Career Opportunities. Later on, she had notable roles in Indy films such as Dark City and Requiem for a Dream. In 2001, she earned an Academy Award nomination for A Beautiful Mind. In 2022, she can be seen in Top Gun: Maverick.
To stay looking good, Connelly told NewBeauty that she implements a “holistic approach to health.” She says, “I’ve been a vegan for a pretty long time, but I do eat fish on occasion, depending on where I am and what’s available. I like to run a few times a week and do yoga, which I’ve been doing for many years. My thought is that even if you only have a few minutes to get a run (or your workout) in, it helps to get your energy going and the blood flowing.”
Eva Longoria (48) clearly knows where the fountain of youth is, especially since she recently had a baby. What happened to all the baby weight? She worked it off! First, she gave her body time to adjust to postpartum and post-pregnancy. When she was ready to start exercising again, she focused on cardio. She would go out for a run in the morning but followed it up with a healthy breakfast. Between working out and raising the baby, where does she find time to do it all?
Diet is what truly keeps her in shape. Longoria states she could “I could easily be a vegetarian… I love cooking with vegetables.” She eats what she wants in moderation but does her best to avoid sugar. Sometimes, her stomach is stronger than her will, and she indulges, but it may be once every three months. That might seem like a fail to her, but most of us couldn't make it longer than a day or two without sugar!
Gwyneth Paltrow is best known these days for Goop and her role in the Iron Man movies, but even before then, she was one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood in the ‘90s. She has appeared in numerous modern classics such as Se7en, Shakespeare in Love, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and the Royal Tenenbaums. For her work in Shakespeare in Love, she earned an Academy Award nomination.
When it comes to keeping a youthful figure, Paltrow has quite a few secrets to share. For one, she says she eats “pretty clean during the day…Good proteins and lots of vegetables and not too much grain or sugar, and nothing baked.” However, for dinner, she eats pretty much whatever she wants. We're also guessing somewhere along the lines she says her product line, "Goop," has helped her, but we're suspicious of that...
Naomi Watts started off her career as an actress in smaller films like David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, The Ring, and 21 Grams. She gained much recognition from these roles before her blockbuster debut King Kong. For her role in The Impossible, she earned an Academy Award nomination. Her face is recognizable, and her body? Well, it's as fit and toned as it was when she was in her 20s.
Naomi Watts, in her 50s, has claimed her main tips for defying aging are drinking plenty of water and getting eight hours of sleep every day. She also makes sure to put on sunscreen before she goes outside. You gotta keep that skin looking good! The sun can do a lot of damage. In her diet, she regularly incorporates a green smoothie and plenty of supplements, including collagen boosters.
