Exercise
The 'Catwoman' star loves doing planks
Instead of traditional exercises like situps and crunches, Berry prefers full-body compound exercises like squats to challenge her abdomen. She's a huge fan of planks. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks. I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition," she once wrote in Women's Health.
Workout series
Berry and her trainer launched their workout series online
Last year, Berry collaborated with her long-time trainer Peter Lee Thomas on a series of workouts that can be done literally anywhere and are free to access. The duo's rēspin wellness platform launched the workout series on the FitOn app. Berry is a huge devotee of martial arts, so the sessions also include martial arts-inspired exercises, plyometric movements, and straight-up weight training.
Varied workouts
Berry's workout routine is usually varied
Berry's workout regime is extremely varied, and she loves mixing things up. She has been a fan of boxing for 12 years and practices it regularly. Yoga is also an important part of her workout routine, and she practices it to warm up before doing high-intensity exercises. Post-workout stretching and lengthening are important for her to stay athletic and super-fit.
Diet
The 'Kidnap' actor follows a ketogenic diet
The actor follows a ketogenic diet and starts her day with bulletproof coffee. For breakfast, she has scrambled eggs, peppers, and onion with a side of avocado. Post-workout, she has an electrolyte drink or a keto-friendly bar. For lunch, she has a simple soup or a green protein-rich salad. Berry has healthy chips for evening snacks and grilled vegetables with plant-based protein for dinner.
