7 Weight Loss Secrets From Vanessa Hudgens for a Strong Body Celebwell
Actress Vanessa Hudgens has starred in a lot of different roles. She's best known for her work in Disney's High School Musical franchise. After that, she starred in projects like Spring Breakers, Bandslam, Second Act, and The Princess Switch franchise. Hudgens has also starred in FOX's live productions of Rent and Grease. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Vanessa Hudgens stays in shape.
One of Hudgens' workout secrets? It's enjoying fitness. "If I ever get to the point that I'm not happy with my body, I'll do something about it," she tells Women's Health. "You will always have the power to do something. Sometimes it will take a little longer than you would like, and sometimes it may be a little more extreme. But if you honestly have a goal, you can do it. You just need to figure out the right way to get there."
Hudgens opened up about her diet in her Women's Health interview. "I eat a whole avocado a day," she says. "I need high fats. If I'm not getting enough, my body holds on to calories. We've been trained to think that fats are bad, but they're so good—a source of energy and sustenance that keeps you going through the day. That's the only way I can not eat carbs."
Hudgens shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Women's Health. She says that she likes to go to fitness classes, particularly SoulCycle. "I tend to ride for the teachers," Hudgens says. "I'm such a performer. I love being in front, because I'll push myself harder and I'll give the class energy too. So it's a win-win."
Hudgens tells Women's Health that she has built a lot of confidence in herself. "I would feel less than because of my size. I see how women who are 5'9" walk into a room, and I am so attracted to the space they take up. But then I started to realize that you can take up space without height—with your achievements, points of view, and opinions. Now that I've realized I can work through it, I'm like, 'How do I make myself feel more confident?'"
Hudgens also loves to practice yoga as a way to stay in shape. "I don't consider it fitness," she says to Women's Health. "It's more like therapy for me." The American Osteopathic Organization states that yoga has a lot of benefits. "Aside from the physical benefits, one of the best benefits of yoga is how it helps a person manage stress, which is known to have devastating effects on the body and mind."
Hudgens shared some of her fitness secrets in an interview with Shape. She says that she likes to workout with her friends. "During the pandemic, when everything was paused, I created a little community. I'd get my friends together over Zoom and we would do Isaac Boots's live workout classes. As the world started to reopen, I found myself obsessed with Dogpound. I go with my best friend; we're extremely competitive. We have the best time — the amount of dancing we do between sets is ridiculous. Everyone knows when we're at the gym. They say they hear us before they see us."
Hudgens tells Shape that she likes to eat natural food. "My overall food philosophy is, if it's real, I'll eat it. Many things are processed and contain chemicals and ingredients I can't pronounce. I want real food. If I'm in Italy, and I see them making pasta by hand, or if it grows from the earth, that's real. I stay away from the processed stuff."
