Charlize Theron Credits Pilates For Her Bangin’ ‘Bombshell’ Bod

And the Oscar for Best Rig goes to… - by Lucy Bode
  • 10 Feb 2020

Ever wondered how Charlize Theron stays red carpet-ready while simultaneously maintaining a successful career and raising two kids on her own? Well, consider this one a two-fer because we’ve done a deep-dive into her diet and exercise regime – just in time for Oscars season.

WATCH: Charlize Theron unleash during her fight training for Atomic Blonde.

Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar Australia, the 43-year-old opened up about her love of Pilates and preference for a plant-based diet.

"It's totally changed my body,” she said of the workout. "I'm always calculating my activity. If I haven't been moving a lot, I can't eat a lot. Or maybe it's a cheat day. But I'm honest with myself."

She also stays away from alcohol, telling Red Magazine back in 2017 that she focuses each meal around protein-packed vegetables, dark leafy greens and fruit: "I have juices and kale and green salads every day. When I'm eating healthily, getting enough sleep and not drinking alcohol, that's when I look my best. That's when I'm happiest, and I think it shows."

Oh no! My bra is showing?! 😱 Shoutout to my incredible team for making me feel so good for the #GoldenGlobes Dress: @dior Couture by @mariagraziachiuri Jewelry: @tiffanyandco Styling: @lesliefremar Makeup: @kateleemakeup Hair: @hairbyadir Nails: @tombachik #ad

She’s also big on grazing and limits her portion size, eating “six small meals per day.” But (because human) she does indulge on occasion – within reason. “If I fancy a burger, rather than deprive myself I’ll have a quarter of one,” she admitted.

As well as Pilates, the actress swears by power yoga and does two 90-minute classes weekly. Spin is another personal fave (she goes up to four times per week) and sometimes, she’ll even hit the court for a spot of cardio.

You. Me. A trainer. And some ass kicking. You could hit the gym with me for the workout of your life-all to support @ctaop and @RED. Just hit the link in my bio or go to omaze.com/charlize NOW.

“My mum recently got me to play tennis, which I wasn’t good at but really enjoyed,” she said. “If you do exercise you enjoy, you’re keeping yourself fit without even realising it.”
