Lucy Hale's Workout Habit Is One You Should Follow, Too

Among her enviable eyebrows and serious acting skills, Lucy Hale is known for having the unmistakable glow of a wellness poster child– and for good reason.

“I’m one of the weirdos in the world that genuinely likes working out,” she admitted in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. “Not from a physical perspective, more from a mental aspect.”

Disclaimer : this is a long caption. For the last week I took a solo trip to Arizona. (FYI -if you want to feel spiritually recharged, Come here.) I spent my days hiking, meditating, and spending time with myself. I've never done this before because I used to feel that putting myself first was selfish. It's not. Not only is it healthy, but it's necessary so that you can be the best for everyone else around you. I know this happens in other industries other than the one I'm in, but it's incredibly easy to get sucked into the vortex of worrying about the next job, the success of a current one and what others think of you. This trip was a beautiful reminder that my health and happiness are crucial to the life I want to live and in order to be the best for my career and my loved ones, it's necessary to do really nice things for yourself. SO, I highly recommend treating your mind, body and spirit right ( and taking a solo getaway). Thank you Arizona, I feel so refreshed 🙏🏼

As for how she keeps motivated, the Pretty Little Liars star reckons consistency is key.

“[Exercise is] a daily part of what I do. I work with a trainer and that will be an hour-long session, or I’ll do 45-minute spin classes or Pilates classes,” she explained. “It’s not a crazy amount, just a little bit every day.”

On the weekends, she’s a little more low-key about her healthy habits: she likes to start her day with a hike, before heading to the park with her pooch, Elvis.

Pure bliss at the dog park 😛

But despite her natural athleticism and penchant for getting a sweat on, there’s one workout, in particular, she still can’t get the hang of:

Yoga.

“I don’t dislike it, it’s just hard for me to sit still,” she said. “There are some yoga classes where you’re floating the whole time, but there’s just a specific type of yoga, like Bikram, where you’re just holding these poses. It’s super challenging and hot and you have to be still, and that’s difficult for me.”
