6 Things Lea Michele Does to Stay Healthy and Happy
Actress and singer Lea Michele is known for giving off that unmistakable, infectious glow of a wellness poster child—and it's not hard to spot with a quick scroll through her Instagram. Showing off tough workouts, luxe spa days, and big smiles, her feed scrolls like a how-to guide on happy, healthy living.
Of course, wellness means different things for everyone, so what works best for her isn't necessarily what works best for you. But when it comes to living her own best life, she seems like she's got her personalized version down to a science—or, rather, a practice. And most importantly, she seems like she enjoys it. (Dare we call it the look of Glee?)
Michele has been open about how important having a healthy lifestyle is to her. She's big on nutritious eating to fuel her packed schedule as an actress, singer, and performer, and her fitness grind is impressive. "I'm passionate about working out...the mind and body results after you do a workout you enjoy are incredible," she told SHAPE in 2016.
She also stressed one important foundation for how she treats herself: having a healthy relationship with her body. And whether you're at that place or not (which is totally OK!), her attitude about living well is pretty inspiring. Here are six ways Michele stays healthy and happy in her busy life.
- She's a self-proclaimed SoulCycle addict, and she has a rotation of other high-intensity fitness classes she loves, too.
- CorePower Yoga and hiking also bring her sweaty peace.
- She tries to work out every day, and she's learned to listen to what her body needs.
- Her house is stocked with healthy food, and she eats mostly vegan at home right now.
- She's not about not depriving herself, though—she loves red wine and a big bowl of pasta.
- She always prioritizes self-care, including great sleep.
