Brie Larson is posing in her wetsuit. In a recent social media post the 34-year-old actress shows off her incredibly fit figure while swimming in what looks like a cave. “Always practicing my posture,” she captioned the Instagram photo. “Love you,” commented one of her followers, while another called her a “Goddess.” How does the Marvel star approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.
Brie understands the importance of stretching. “Stretching is a huge part of exercise,” she explained in a YouTube video. “This is great for mornings, before workouts, as you’re winding down your day, or, if you’re somebody like me who’s spending the majority of their time at a desk looking at Zoom all day, it’s good to incorporate a couple of stretches and be kind to yourself,” she added. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
Brie is a fan of celery juice. “I hold my stress in my stomach and this feels very soothing/healing in my opinion,” she said in one of her Instagram Stories.
Brie trains with Jason Walsh and isn’t afraid of lifting (and pushing) heavy weights. Once, Brie even pushed a 5,000 pound Jeep down the street. “Pushing myself past my limit, honey! Doesn’t always look pretty but gosh it feels amazing,” she wrote in a post, asking her trainer, “how heavy were these again?”
While Brie focuses on fueling her body with the food it needs to sustain her hardcore workouts, she does allow herself cheat meals. Some of her favorites are soft pretzels and fried mozzarella sticks. “Ice cream, anyone?” she captioned a snap.
One way that Brie keeps exercise exciting is by trying unconventional workouts. “Even after years of training, I still try to find ways to get out of working out. Luckily @risemovement keeps me motivated by prefacing a new move with ‘this will be fun,'” she captioned one of her Instagram posts. “My #AntiHero trait? Refusing conventional workouts,” she captioned a video of herself pushing a cart with a lot of weight.
“Sauna, massage, nature” are three ways that Brie gets in her self-care time, she revealed a recent photo of herself during a wellness getaway at Wilderness Reserve. “Morning sweat session 101: must include selfies,” she added in another recent snap, wearing a swimsuit in the sauna.
In 2023, Brie revealed that she was dancing a whopping seven hours per day. “Every day we’d get up at 5am to get to the studio by 7:30am. There, we’d work on building a dancer. Flexibility, strength, weight transfers, spirals, breath, fascia, rooting – my experience was expanding,” Brie wrote in an Instagram caption. “Thank you to my body for growing with me!” Why is dancing great for your body? Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
