Elsa Pataky is a model and actress. She recently appeared in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, alongside her husband, Chris Hemsworth. She is best known for her role as Elena Neves in the Fast & The Furious franchise. Her other roles include Snakes On The Plane, Giallo, Di Di Hollywood, and Give ‘Em Hell, Malone. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Elsa Pataky stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Pataky tells Harper’s Bazaar that she enjoys practicing meditation. “Once the kids are asleep, I try to meditate for 10 to 15 minutes, and I make sure I read and unwind before going to bed. At home we always try to put our phones aside just after dinner and we don’t check them before bedtime, so we properly disconnect from the world for few hours.”
Pataky talked about her diet in her Harper’s Bazaar interview. She says that she makes sure to eat a balanced diet. “I make sure I eat as balanced and healthy as I can, although of course I have my cheating days,” she says. “I do love cooking fresh fish in the oven or the grill, although my favourite moments are to cook and bake with my children. We always try to do it once every few weeks – from pizzas in the oven to yummy cookies.”
Pataky shared her skincare routine in an interview with Grazia. “I love our moisturiser, which is coming soon! We’ve been working on it for so long, we took our time because we really wanted it to be perfect. But I also love our derma roller, I use it every day and I love it! It’s great for your skin. I use it every other night and it really invigorates my skin and improves the tone. I also love our Divine Ritual™ Balm, it really soothes the skin and I love massaging it into my skin before bed. The fragrance is also really beautiful, the scent of the botanicals really transports you to Byron.”
When coming up with her skincare line, Purely Byron, Pataky made sure to use environmentally friendly ingredients. “It was really important to me to have products that contained 98% natural ingredients and were really sustainable,” she told Grazia. “I wanted something recyclable, because it’s very important to respect nature. We also wanted to impart the serene spirit of Byron Bay in each of our daily rituals, which we considered through every aspect of the brand. You can take a little moment for yourself and enjoy it without having to go to an appointment in the spa – you can do it yourself at home and still get the feeling. We hope it helps to give everyone a piece of Byron and give back to the community here.“
Pataky shared her wellness secrets with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she always makes sure to incorporate fitness into her daily life. “I make sure I organise my time during the day and I follow a similar routine every day. For instance, I always try to fit in my exercise in the mornings – it doesn’t need to be full-on workouts, but any type of movement. I try to make sure I do at least three to four workouts a week, mostly HIITs (20-40 min of intermediate training). The days I don’t, I would either surf or go horse riding.”
