With the weather now finally deciding to get its ass into gear and bring our bodies some much-needed Vitamin D, we can't wait to celebrate the hot sunny weather with a jug of Pimms, a Flake 99, a packet of Flaming Hot Doritos and a family-sized pack of dips. However, one thing that's not so high on the agenda right now is working out in the gym.
Look, by all means give us the option to run a few laps around the park and take part in a HIIT class on a rooftop with breath-taking views although the lack of oxygen in our lungs might actually be to blame , but we think we'll pass on a 45mins circuits class in a gym studio sans air conditioning while our friends are out enjoying the sunshine. Fortunately, it seems actress Zoe Saldana has the answer to our exercise versus summer predicament.
The Guardians of the Galaxy actress has recently opened up about her hate for long workouts, admitting she prefers to limit herself to a 20minute workout, without the faff of weights and dumbbells. She told Shape magazine: 'Between travel, meetings, and shoots, schedules are rough for me. I try to work out three times a week, but I don't believe in getting on one machine for 30 minutes. If I do a lot of cardio, it usually just means I'll be dragging my feet for the rest of the day.
Of course, the New Jersey-born star doesn't credit her toned figure to exercise regime alone. Zoe may be used to playing out-of-this-world characters, but her healthy outlook is more down-to-earth.
Here's how the laid-back star stays strong and healthy. She mixes it up: The Pilates devotee and former ballerina doesn't like to keep things the same. So she goes to the experts to help motivate her. She swears by trainer Steve Moyer to keep her muscles strong; check out our video with Steve for more on how he sculpts Zoe's upper body. She's not a dieter: The actress isn't a fan of crash diets or starving herself. In fact, Zoe's diet philosophy is all about being well balanced.
The past year has been the only time in my life that I haven't been to the gym," she confessed to The Edit. She explained her outlook to Oprah's O Magazine : "You can't forget that you only live once; you have to enjoy the pleasures of life, and you also have to enjoy the work in life.
That means that if you like to eat, then work out, be healthy. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories. Mindy Small. James Devaney. This content is imported from Instagram.
