There are those who jump out of bed and hit the gym before 6am like it’s NBD, and then there are the Salma Hayek of the world. The 55-year-old actress goes for a slower approach to exercise and diet, but still manages to stay as fit and healthy as ever (check out her sheen in the plethora of swimsuits at his IG if you don’t believe us).
For this reason, we decided it was time to do some research, and it turns out that it has some pretty useful tips for staying fit, without doing much. Who knows?

In an interview with Personsexplained that while others have the ‘discipline’ to work out in the morning, that’s not something she’s developed, while her busy schedule means she rarely has time for a gym session. “I don’t have time to exercise, I’m working,” he said. ‘I’ve had some 20-hour days.’
But she hasn’t thrown in the towel entirely: While full workouts happen once in a blue moon, she’s learned to passively train her body. “I work with a woman in London who taught me how to support my body in a way where the muscles are activated throughout the day,” she explained. “So even when you brush your teeth, you’re exercising your muscles.”
Your secret? ‘is restorative yoga‘ Hayek confesses. ‘She taught me how to tone my muscles without squeezing them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you are aware of your body, you would be surprised what effect it can have.

As we mentioned earlier, working out without knowing you’re doing it (passively, so to speak) is the name of the game for Hayek, and this includes the daily movement he gets in with his best canine friends. In fact, she rates for walk their puppies as one of their favorite forms of exercise. She once wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of her dogs: “This is my version of exercise and these are my #dog trainers… These are my trainers!”
4. When he feels like resting, he does

Let’s say this: Hayek knows how to live. Take the Insta post above, for example. She debates whether Weightlifting or take a dip in the (offensively beautiful) ocean for a little movement. Then, you decide to sit in the sun and have a sip instead. ‘Exercise… swim… what should I do? Nah, having a beer on the beach,” she says. If this is what balance looks like, then we support it.
5. He moves in ways that are fun for him

A girl after our own hearts, though she may not do it often, makes sure that when she does it exercise, is the type that enjoys.

Us empaths scrolling through Hayek’s Instagram, seeing the many photos of the ocean and feeling like he’d like to swim?
Swimming, though she hasn’t explicitly said so, to our knowledge, seems to be one of Hayek’s favorite things to do (it would probably also be in our top three if we also had access to such an idyllic beach in the rules. Southend-on-Sea just doesn’t cut the mustard). It’s great for cardiovascular health, Y works the whole body. It’s also a great option for anyone with injuries that require low-impact movement.
7. Eat foods you enjoy

“I don’t like to diet and I’m not good at it,” Hayek said in his website.
Instead of restricting yourself, you eat a balanced diet full of nutritious foods and less nutritious foods that feed your soul (exhibit A: delicious-looking ice cream).
He also loves carrying juice, so much so that he started his own company, fresher cleaning. “When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort,” Hayek wrote. ‘After doing a juice cleanse, I am motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleaning is like my meditation. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I am putting into my body. I commit to my health and hit the reset button.’
We warn you not to get sucked into juice-based cleansing diets (the fact that they “detox” is a myth, and can be incredibly harmful to people who have experienced, or are at risk of experiencing, difficult relationships with foods and diets), but juice is delicious, we agree, and there’s nothing wrong with incorporating it into a diet that includes lots of nutritious and delicious foods. keyword: to incorporate.
8. She bets on massages to recover
When it comes to giving your muscles a boost, massage is Hayek’s go-to. “You have to find a good person who gives a good massage,” he said in an interview with Inquisitor.
‘I have a [massage therapist], but she lives in Japan. He only comes to London from time to time. But when it comes, it’s my secret weapon. The massage oxygenates, activates circulation and keeps the muscles healthy and firm. I can’t tell you, even just for the lymphatic. [system]what massage does for the face.’
