In 1999, she was named as one of their “50 Most Beautiful People” by People magazine.

Workout Principles of Jessica Biel
- Jessica is serious about her workouts. She works out with her trainer. He’s Jason Walsh, a celebrity trainer. He makes sure that her workouts are a mix-up of sprinting, yoga, cardio, as well as walking lunges.
- She believes in going all out for every workout.
- She enjoys balance. So she enjoys her cake and eating it too, but makes up with doing lunges at the same time.
- She likes workout dates and enjoys doing her exercises with someone else, like her coach or her husband.
- She’s dedicated to Yoga, which she has been doing for over 10 years.
- Even though she stays active, she likes to challenge her body with exercises like working on her glutes, legs, core, and also strengthening her stabilizing muscles.
Her Training Methods
- “I like to do a couple of classes of yoga during the week, mixed in with weight training sessions, which are for strength,” says Jessica.
- She says you need a healthy attitude: She says she loves hiking and walking too. She realizes how important mental health is and these pastimes keep her clearheaded.
- She says that to avoid boredom, you need to vary your fitness routine – it’s the best way to get results. So she includes volleyball and dance classes as well.
- Jessica always includes butt exercises which are her favorite. She knows that to have a tight bum, lunges are essential.
- Jessica practices the stay-and-hold movements for her arms.
- Because Jessica is not that keen on running she tries the high-intensity cardio circuit rather.

Jessica Biel’s Diet
Jessica Biel believes in balance, so she doesn’t follow any particular way of eating.
She hasn’t even banned sugar from her diet, or cheese.
And she even has cheat days where she will eat a cookie or two, or pizza.
But she says there are certain foods that make her feel well and others that make her feel less than great. Below are foods that comprise a day for Jessica.
Breakfast
She loves Paleo pancakes.
She will add some almond butter or cashew butter to them with some local honey.
She will also have something like chicken-apple sausage, and then perhaps some fresh juice. There will be some green tea too at some stage of the morning.

Her Noteworthy recommendations
Doing the right thing for yourself
Jessica says… “I like that yoga is just me with myself, my practice, and wherever my practice is in that moment on that day, then that’s where it is,
No one’s yelling at me to push harder and go tougher, it’s all about me, and sometimes if I want to sit still and lie in Savasana for 20 minutes, then that’s my practice for the day … My body is way smarter than me.
I can just listen to it and hear it loudly and clearly that I’m doing the right thing for myself.”
That’s good advice!
”Being willing to suffer often brings great rewards” – Jessica Biel
