Take a quick scroll through Jessica Biel’s Instagram and you’ll quickly learn that she doesn’t mess around when it comes to fitness. Often posting her workouts alongside singer-songwriter husband Justin Timberlake, the actor and mum-of-two says she prioritises a balanced and consistent routine to help her live a pain-free life and energetic life.

That's perhaps why 'Jessica Biel workout' is a trending search term on Google right now, particularly after the 43-year-olds appearance in Prime Video hit, The Better Sister. In the series, Jessica's toned physique is referenced more than once, with viewers eager to learn more about how she structures her workouts.

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Jessica, once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with an extra 30 pounds on her back as she reached the 19,000 ft summit, raising awareness for access to clean water worldwide.

What is Jessica Biel's workout routine?

Yoga is at the core

While Jessica tailors her fitness routine depending on her goals, she mostly practices yoga, doing 20-30 minute sessions most days. ‘It makes me a better mom’ she told Elle, praising the workout for helping her de-stress and stay grounded throughout life’s chaos. Typically seeing herself as a ‘non-class’ type of person, Jessica also engages in yoga because of the community aspect of being part of a class.

Pilates

In her twenties, Jessica says she had a different attitude to fitness, admitting that how heavy she could bench and how fit she looked were her main focus. But now, in her 40s, her focus is on mobility. With two young sons, Silas, 10 and Phineas, 4, Jessica finds that her body is tested daily so working on lengthening and strengthening helps ensure she feels good within.

Making fitness work for her

In addition to daily yoga, Jessica takes part in a variety of exercises and welcomes her family’s involvement (says no woman ever!).‘It’s so much more fun to do it with someone else’ she says. From strength training and snowboarding to boxing and working out with her trainer, Ben Bruno, Jessica has developed the perfect cocktail of exercises that keep her moving her body without getting turned off.

Lighter weights

A red carpet regular, Jessica swears by lighter weights ahead of huge glam events. Working with dumbbells varying from 4-6kg, the actress sticks to lighter weights and bodyweight exercises to keep her physique sculpted and not swollen. She explains that heavier training can cause muscle soreness and fluid retention from lactic acid buildup, which can impact how clothes fit.

Whether she’s on the red carpet or in full mum mode, Jessica’s approach to fitness is a positive, and collective one, helping her look good and feel good on the inside.
