Jaime Pressly is celebrating her birthday – in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the My Name Is Earl star shows off her ageless body in a swimsuit while ringing in her 47th year. “This is 47! Best birthday ever in my favorite place back home on the water. All I wanted was to get salty and that’s exactly what we did. #homesweethome #getsalty #love #happybirthday #peace,” she captioned the post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Pressly didn’t stress after she gave birth to her son. “I gained 42 pounds when I was pregnant,” she told Viva. “However, I’ve always been somebody who has been athletic and driven in that way. I went back to the gym when Dezi was 10 days old, so I lost 35 pounds in the first three months and the rest came off about a month later.”
Jaime strength trains with a personal trainer.. “I was in the gym six days a week for two hours for those three months – now I don’t push as hard.” She does about 300 reps of various squat positions, resistance exercises to work the lower back and butt, and abdominal exercises using gravity boots and weights. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
She also loves kickboxing and boxing. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
Pressly eats four-to-five small meals a day. “It’s much easier when I’m working because we have craft services there with food. I supplement with a multivitamin, B-12, acidophilus, omega-3 and biotin which is really good for nails, skin and hair,” she says. “I love cheese. Mozzarella is a very low-fat cheese and I eat a lot of that which is a good protein as well,” she added. “Cayenne pepper is one of my favourite spices – it’s good for digestion and helps you burn fat. I also love rosemary which I grow in my backyard garden.”
Pressly is so into meditation that she has an Om symbol tattoo. “It’s what Buddhists chant and how they meditate,” she explains. “Instead of thinking of tomorrow, I think about right now and encourage positive actions,” she says. “And I think that’s more evident when you have a child. I like to take one day at a time. I don’t have fears of running out of time. Fear makes people do stupid things and act in stupid ways. Working hard for what you have, appreciating it and knowing it’s not going to fall in your lap – those are values I hope to instill in Dezi as he grows up.”
