7 tips you can steal from Sydney Sweeney's fitness regime

Sydney Sweeney is one of the most talked-about actresses in Hollywood. From her roles to her sartorial choices, everything she does comes under the spotlight. While people may have different opinions on all of it, there is no denying the fact that the 27-year-old Euphoria star has a toned physique and effortless confidence. So how does she achieve it? No, she does not spend hours in the gym.

In fact, she likes to mix high-intensity training with playful outdoor adventures to stay fit. Here are seven tips you can steal from Sydney Sweeney’s fitness routine.

Martial arts for discipline and power

Sydney Sweeney is a trained mixed martial artist (MMA). She started training at the age of 12. When she moved to Los Angeles as a pre-teen, she was looking for something that would give her an adrenaline rush in terms of physical activity. “I really wanted to find something that was as physically challenging as everything [back home]. Some of my guy friends were MMA training, and they were doing grappling, and I was like, ‘This is so cool,’” she told Women’s Health earlier. “It’s a sisterhood and a brotherhood amongst the fighters and the trainers.

It’s such a beautiful community of people who have each other’s backs, and you learn discipline and you learn respect.” The sport taught her lessons in discipline and in building a powerful body. At the age of 18, she took part in her first competition.

Morning workouts

Sweeney enjoys morning workouts, which is perhaps one of the factors that contribute to her fitness. “I like to work out in the morning,” she has revealed in interviews.

By starting her day with a workout, she is able to focus better. Early exercise also boosts metabolism and sets a positive tone for the rest of the day.

Running can be powerful

When it comes to a fitness regime, most people assume that only fancy exercises can provide reliable results. However, that’s not true. For instance, Sweeney likes to run. It is just another form of exercise for her. Running helps improve cardiac health, releases stress, and burns more calories.

Pilates for strength

One workout that Sydney Sweeney swears by is Pilates. She practises Solidcore Pilates, which is a high-intensity reformer workout. The slow, controlled movements engage most of the muscles. It’s a low-impact workout with impressive results. Sydney once said that Solidcore “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated.”

Hiking – a fun exercise

Hiking is another exercise Sweeney swears by. The actress has revealed that she loves to hike. What’s not to love when you have a breathtaking view as you exercise? She goes on a hike whenever possible and is often accompanied by her pet dog, a German Shepherd named Tank. The best way to stay consistent in your fitness journey is to do what you enjoy—and for The White Lotus actress, it’s hiking.

Slalom skiing for sculpted abs

Sydney Sweeney may appear femme fatale at times, but deep down, she is all Tomb Raider. She loves water sports, especially skiing. Her mum taught her to ski, and it’s an ideal full-body workout. “It’s a lot of upper-body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast. I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she previously told Women’s Health.

Boxing for upper-body strength

Of late, Sweeney has been into boxing. She is preparing for her Christy Martin role and has taken boxing lessons. Boxing is a great form of cardio and strength training. In the videos Sweeney has shared online, she can be seen performing moves that strengthen her upper body. The exercises focus on the shoulders, biceps, back, and core.
