Now aged 52, having just celebrated her birthday, Berry has an Instagram account that details exactly how she maintains her healthy lifestyle, and with 2.8 million followers it seems like she is an inspiration to many. She shares tips on her often grueling workout routines, her ‘Fitness Friday’ series showing different yoga poses, weights workouts, boxing and meditation, with her fitness coach Peter featuring alongside her. Berry is one hell of a tough cookie and looks absolutely incredible, so if you lack a little motivation for your fitness regime this summer or wish to know the answers on how to stay young, look no further! Her health tips and beauty secrets clearly work.

She says she trains her mind as well as her body through yoga and meditation

“Fitness is not just about running, lifting and punching”

“For me, being athletic and super fit is also about being still, stretching and breathing”

“I believe good health and wellness is what real beauty is all about,” she writes. “The beauty world is constantly evolving, building a deeper connection between health, wellness, and what we know as being beautiful.” Joining the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon in the ‘Hollywood Wellness’ set, Berry’s holistic approach and an extra bit of kickass toughness are sure to appeal to many, as the ‘strong is beautiful’ mantra continues to grow.

“I never go a day without some sort of meditation”

“Trust me, it will start to transform your thinking, which will change your life”

“When I’m done, I have ultimate clarity and I feel at peace”

Berry’s fitness regime also contains some kickass boxing and weightlifting elements

“I know how hard it is to get motivated at times, but when my workout is fun, it’s a whole lot easier!”

“Each body is unique! Fine-tuning our workouts to meet our personal fitness goals is the easiest way to see the results we want to see. Being sexy starts with feeling sexy and when you focus on loving ALL of you, watch just how SEXY you’ll feel! – writes Berry on her Instagram.

“It’s often easier to workout with a partner. A partner holds you accountable so you won’t quit halfway through”

“I also want to share one of my secret weapons that I think has helped me defy my age and look and feel younger than my years”

“The secret is Bone Broth! It’s made with bones that are simmered for at least 8 hours”

She takes nutrition very seriously

But sometimes we all need to indulge in some potato chips

“For me, having a great beach body is so much more than looking good in a bikini”

“It’s more about FEELING good in your body!”

“For me, confidence has always come as a result of loving myself enough to put my health and wellness first by doing the necessary work”

She also finds time to read and relax her mind getting lost in the books

As well as taking care of her two beautiful children

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
