Lana Condor in Two-Piece Workout Gear is on “Health & Fitness Journey”

Lana Condor is an actress best known for her role in the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before franchise, and Ruby Gilman: Teenage Kraken. In March, Condor shared a workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing squats with weights, tricep pulldowns, and using the leg press machine. She captioned the post, “Focusing on my health & fitness journey this year so I can intimidate @therock 💪🏽 || seriously tho, @betitanfit is helping me prioritize my fitness so that I can be the strongest version of myself let’s gooooo.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lana Condor stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

As you could tell from her Instagram post, Condor likes to strength train. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis…Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.“

Condor makes sure to workout on a regular basis, but she also doesn’t want to push herself too hard. She tells SELF that her trainer, Paolo Mascitti, is very understanding when she needs a day off. “If my body is so sore and I need a day off, he’s so understanding about that,” she says. “My mental health is the priority, and my mental health is always better when I am active. But sometimes when your body hurts, you’re like, I can’t do anything, I don’t want to get up. And so he’s very patient. If there’s a day that I feel the need to be a little bit more gentle with myself, he’s great.”

Condor tells SELF that she likes to take fitness classes to stay in shape. “I always do a little bit better in a class setting or in-person, just because I think that I have a competitive nature in workout classes. So I feel like I can really hit it hard.”

Condor makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared her favorite serum with Glamour. “The iS Clinical Advanced Pro-Heal Serum is my baby. I’m realizing now that a lot of my answers have been out of convenience and speed, but I really do think that it is a very convenient serum. It does the trick quickly, and it hasn’t let me down. It keeps my skin clear, keeps the pores tight, and keeps the skin looking fresh.”

Condor loves to cook. She shared one of her favorite recipes with E! News. “My go-to healthy recipe is always just a nice piece of fresh salmon, roasted Brussels sprouts in sunflower oil, and potatoes. Sometimes I’ll just put a little citrus and salt on my salmon, other days I’ll put some marinara sauce on the salmon, and it is so delicious.“
