Lea Michele is in love... with her life and her body. Her workouts are intense (just look at the results!), but so is her belief in treating herself to pizza, pasta, and mac and cheese. It’s all good, according to the actress. Here’s how she got to such a healthy, happy place.
Lea says. “I love it. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in, and I have a healthy relationship with my body. I’m in a really good place right now.”
And why shouldn’t she be? The 30-year-old actress is starring on the hit TV show Scream Queens, she just finished recording her second album, and she’s enjoying being single. “I have this time to grow and focus on me,” she says.
Lea , who had never taken a fitness class before she moved to Los Angeles for Glee, credits exercise with making her happier, and definitely healthier, than ever. “The mind and body results after you do a workout you enjoy are incredible,” she says. Listen up as Lea shares her other strategies for being strong and confident.
A scale does not determine your self-worth.
“As I get older, my body is always changing. Right now I have so much energy, my skin looks good, and my butt is higher than it’s ever been. I’ve been skinnier and I’ve been a little bit bigger, and I’m never hard on myself one way or the other. The fact that I’m active, eating well, and taking care of myself is all that matters—not a number.”
Never be idle.
