When she was in Thailand, she trained for about 2.5 hours a day and she got really strong. Then when she got back to filming Jane the Virgin, she was only able to workout during weekends and as a result, her body changed quickly. “I couldn’t fit into certain clothes, and I was a little curvier. Before, I would have beaten myself up. But my boyfriend gave me some great advice. He said, ‘Don’t be angry with your body—it changed because your routine shifted.’ And that was like a gift. As an actress, there are so many pressures to look a certain way and fit into a sample size. But I’ve got to embrace the fact that when I’m shooting Jane, I can’t work out as much. My body is going to look different, and that’s okay. I’m not willing to wring the joy from my life to kill myself in the gym.”
Now she’s filming a movie in Mexico so she’s able to workout four to six times a week, so she’s doing weight training, Muay Thai, boxing, running, and yoga. “It’s empowering to see the shift in my body. That feeling of strength is amazing. I can even do pull-ups now!” Check out those legs!
