Eva Longoria is about to celebrate her first year of marriage with Pepe Baston and the Texas native seems to be pretty busy these days with the launch of her new clothing line, a new movie called Lowriders, and as a longtime brand ambassador for L’Oreal, she has her hands full. Yet, she still makes time to workout, which she confesses she’s not a big fan of hitting the gym.
“I don’t like moves that incorporate a lot of stuff. Like, ‘Lunge while you’re pressing and balancing,’ and I’m like, ‘Uuuugh. I just want to do a biceps curl.’ I don’t enjoy working out. I like the way I feel after working out. I always wish my trainer doesn’t show up. I’m always like, ‘I hope he cancels, I hope he cancels,’” says Eva Longoria Baston to Health.
She does a variety of workouts to keep her body toned but admits that she loves running. “I’m a runner, first of all. I run a lot. But I also do SoulCycle, Pilates, yoga. I usually mix it up. Now I’m starting with weight training. I kind of laid off the weights for a while, but I went to my nutritionist the other day, and she was like, ‘Your muscle mass is low. You need to build muscle.’ And I’m like ‘Oh man…’”
Recently she was pictured on a boat with a bloated tummy and her fans were speculating that she was pregnant, which she quickly shot down those rumors by explaining that she was just eating a lot. We don’t think she would be doing this yoga pose if she were pregnant, but who knows…

Her hubby is also in great shape and it is he who motivates her when she’s not in the mood to workout. “My husband. He loves it. He’s like, ‘We gotta do it.’ And I’m like, ‘I knoooow.’ We motivate each other. My motivation is also the glass of wine at the end of the day. I’m like, ‘Eva if you want that glass of wine, this is what we’re gonna have to do.'”
When it comes to a red carpet event, she admits that she’s worn a double Spanx to look extra trim. “When I have a red-carpet event, it’s all about skin care. I go, ‘Oh shoot, I have this coming up, so I have to get a facial, I have to get a peel, I have to get my eyebrows done.’ But if you get a peel, you have to do it three days in advance. And if I do microdermabrasion, I have to make sure it’s not the same day, and I have to stay out of the sun because I have sunspots.”
She is a strong believer that you are what you eat and enjoys the vegan lifestyle, even though she eats eggs and every once in a while she eats fish, but confesses that she hasn’t eaten red meat or chicken since January.
“My husband and I went vegan for a while, and we liked it. It’s easy to do in big cities. L.A. is Vegan-ville. I live in Mexico City, and I was like, ‘Oh God, this is gonna be hard in Mexico—land of the tacos.’ But we’ve found great meatless, soy, and plant-based products that mimic that stuff, and it’s pure vegan.”
