Halle Berry is an extremely successful actress. She’s known for her roles in Catwoman and Monster’s Ball. She was the first actress of color to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the latter film. Berry shares a lot of fitness posts on Instagram. Recently, she posted a photo of herself in her home gym. Berry captioned the post, “Rise and grind… it’s Monday! Thank you @peterleethomas for always pushing me to my limits!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Halle Berry stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Berry works with personal trainer, Peter Lee Thomas, to help her stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that having a personal trainer has a lot of benefits. “The gym can be intimidating. Working with a trainer allows you to become confident with how to perform exercises, use machines and navigate the facility. After a few sessions, you will feel ready to tackle the weight room on your own. Even better, an ego boost during exercise can promote stronger self-confidence and self-efficacy, which can help you stick with your exercise program over the long term.”
Berry is consistent with her workouts. Thomas talked to E! News about the actress’ schedule. “We typically meet up every day, five days a week,” he revealed. “She’s putting in the work. She doesn’t mess around. That’s really, really great for me because I know that when we go there it’s like preparing for war. There’s an objective and there’s a goal.”
Berry likes to do a variety of workouts to keep herself in shape. Thomas tells People that he likes to surprise her with what they are doing at sessions. “She never truly understands what’s going to happen for that morning, for that day,” says Thomas. “I bring a constellation of things. That, in itself, is quite challenging because she has to be ready almost on improv. It can break a lot of people, who don’t see the workout the day prior.”
Berry shares a lot of her workouts on Instagram. In this video, she is seen using dumbbells. Berry captioned the post, “It’s #fitnessfriday once again! @PeterLeethomas put me through a simple dumbbell workout, but let me tell you it was an AB BURNER! And if you wanna know what that hard-to-drink liquid is and why I’m drinking it, head to @respin and get all the deets. Plus get my actual workout and a new smoothie recipe by my nutritionist @BeWellByKelly. Let’s keep getting fit together! 💪🏽”
Berry is open about following the ketogenic diet. She tells Women’s Health that she went on the plan to help her manage her diabetes. “I wanted to get off of insulin, so I decided to say goodbye to processed carbs and sugar like baked goods and white bread — and it has seriously paid off. For more than 15 years, eating this way has helped me manage my diabetes — but it’s also given me a ton of energy and helped me maintain my weight and stay in shape.”
