Halle Berry blew Instagram’s mind ahead of the weekend, undergoing a sweat session that burned 250 calories in under 15 minutes – equivalent to 1,000 calories an hour. The 53-year-old Oscar winner appeared on her own account for #FitnessFriday, although Halle continued the on-going gig she’s got as Women’s Health Mag features the “Catwoman” star.
The photos shared were showing this muscle machine at her best, they included jump rope, and Halle even shared her thoughts about the whole thing – “By the end, my calves were on fire and my arms and legs burned like you wouldn’t believe,”she said.
The photo shared by Women’s Health Mag wasn’t quite the same as the one appearing on the “John Wick” actress’ Instagram, but it was a similar deal. Halle was flaunting her MMA-trained physique in a simple, all-black look comprised of tight leggings and a tank, with the Re-Spin founder also seen with her hair flying around as she jumped.
“If you challenge me with something, my ego and my pride kick in and I have. to. win. It’s not even a question; I get tunnel vision-level focus and I just do it.”
Halle also revealed that she’d been put up to the challenge of even doing it in the first place. Personal trainer Peter Lee Thomas had encouraged the Hollywood heavyweight to give it a go – challenge Halle to something physical, and she’ll do it. This is an actress who completed three years worth of MMA training in just six months for “John Wick: Parabellum.”
“Before I started working with my trainer @peterleethomas, I didn’t even own a jump rope—it just wasn’t how I did my cardio! But counting rotations quickly became a natural part of my fitness routine, and now, I am totally obsessed with jumping rope. Once I find my rhythm, I go into this Zen place. I just tune out the world and keep jumping until Peter tells me to stop.
Halle’s photo currently sits at over 55,000 likes, even getting a celebrity like from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna. Halle’s caption had also encouraged fans to head over to her Re-Spin fitness brand for more – while the label’s Instagram following is still modest, the feed proves popular, with Halle recently appearing on it in a stunning nude pregnancy throwback to celebrate Mother’s Day.
COVID-19 has been showing fans what Halle eats. Halle warned that her Cheesy Bacon Ranch Chicken is “next level delicious” on her Instagram – being a Type 1 diabetic, though, Halle’s diet is carefully-planned, with the star also having revealed that she’s been off sugars and baked goods for over 15 years.
Halle is set to appear in MMA movie “Bruised,” for which fight scenes even saw her sustain injuries including a bruised and swollen eye.
