Hollywood's fittest celebrities also rely on their trainers for guidance in order to achieve their best physical and mental state.
Lacey Stone, the personal trainer for Amanda Seyfried, motivates the 37-year-old Mamma Mia actress to aim for 6,000 to 10,000 steps daily, hydrate adequately, and incorporate a protein and vegetable into every meal, as Stone disclosed exclusively in the latest edition of We magazine. Furthermore, when it comes to exercise, Stone firmly believes in the effectiveness of weightlifting.
Stone suggests incorporating heavy weightlifting into your weekly routine at least thrice and partnering with a workout buddy or trainer that provides accountability. Seyfried and Stone emphasize the importance of strength training. On the other hand, Jeanette Jenkins, who trains well-known personalities such as Tracee Ellis Ross, recommends combining cardio exercises with strength workouts to optimize fat-burning outcomes.
One exercise combination that I particularly enjoy is the squat to overhead press. This movement effectively targets multiple muscle groups including the glutes, legs, core, shoulders, and triceps. By engaging various muscles, it also keeps your heart rate elevated throughout the exercise, making it highly efficient.

For those new to the fitness world, coach Jason Walsh, founder of Rise Movement, offers tips on starting a health journey. Having trained Marvel star Brie Larson, Walsh suggests beginning with one change and gradually incorporating additional habits.
For fitness enthusiasts who struggle to choose a specific sport, it is recommended to try various classes that catch their interest. Nina Dobrev, currently in a relationship with former Olympian Shaun White, shared that she personally enjoys incorporating different activities into her routine, including yoga and boxing, in order to "sweat every single day". According to the 34-year-old Vampire Diaries alum, experimenting with different exercises has not only been enjoyable but has also provided the most noticeable results, as it keeps the body and mind challenged.
For individuals with limited time to devote to lengthy workout classes or routines like Dobrev, Walsh recommends combining exercises or incorporating circuit training. His Rise Nation 30 class, a 30-minute tempo climbing session, is effective for individuals ranging from everyday people to elite athletes.
Amy Rosoff Davis, Danai Gurira’s fitness instructor, prioritizes proper form and muscle activation in her workouts while refraining from passing judgment on others' preferred methods of physical activity.
She shares that her preferred exercise routine combines Pilates and yoga, incorporating elements of enjoyable cardiovascular exercises. She emphasizes the importance of engaging in any form of physical activity rather than remaining inactive. She also suggests transforming household chores into a workout by incorporating squats and planks in between tasks.
