They say that beauty fades as you grow older, but that’s a load of bologna. While sometimes it is in our genetics, we have a certain amount of control over our bodies as we age. True, it’s definitely harder to get that sculpted look, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It takes a lot of healthy eating, exercise, and maybe a supplement or two. Sure, it’s a lot of hard work, but it sure does pay off when you’re reaching that big 6-0.
Celebrities, especially, are able to do all this and more. In fact, some celebrities are shattering that stereotype by working hard and getting the body most of us can only dream about. It’s a lot easier to have a beautifully sculpted body when you have that extra four or five hours a day to spend working out, a private chef to make your food, and money to get tons of R&R. That being said, it definitely goes to show that it’s possible!
These women are showing that with hard work, you can age just like a fine wine and only get better with time! Granted, most of them do have personal trainers, but it seems like their secrets aren’t so secret after all. They were nice enough to explain what they eat and their exercise routine so maybe we can get that amazing beach body we always wanted.

Sofia Vergara (47) has multiple trainers that keep her body fit and healthy. She works out five times a week for an hour or more. Another one of Vergara’s trainers solely work on her glutes – lots of squats and lateral raises. Her workout routine isn’t for the faint of heart, but it does provide results. And Vergara is clearly not afraid to show off those results for the world to see!
Vergara may look like she doesn’t eat anything unhealthy, but she’s known to have an especially strong sweet tooth. While she says she eats a lot of fruit and vegetables, she also eats desserts during the weekend. The one thing she does stay away from is salt because she states it makes her eyes look puffy the following day. Whatever her secret is, it’s definitely working. We might have to give this a try ourselves!
Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale is perhaps best known for her romantic roles in films like Pearl Harbor and Serendipity, as well as action roles such as the Underworld film series. Occasionally, doing some modeling, she has managed to maintain an excellent figure throughout her life, despite being 47 years old. Not everyone who is pushing fifty looks as good as Beckinsale does!
According to New Beauty, to stay in shape, she works out often and eats plenty of protein including chicken, eggs and salmon. And of course, she eats her greens too. All of it seems to be paying off. If Beckinsale looks this great at 47, she definitely has nothing to worry about when it comes to aging gracefully!
Eva Longoria
Eva Longoria (45) clearly knows where the fountain of youth is, especially since she recently had a baby. What happened to all the baby weight? She worked it off! First, she gave her body time to adjust to postpartum and post-pregnancy. When she was ready to start exercising again, she focused on cardio. She would go out for a run in the morning but followed it up with a healthy breakfast. Between working out and raising the baby, where does she find time to do it all?
Diet is what truly keeps her in shape. Longoria states she could “I could easily be a vegetarian… I love cooking with vegetables.” She eats what she wants in moderation but does her best to avoid sugar. Sometimes, her stomach is stronger than her will, and she indulges, but it may be once every three months. That might seem like a fail to her, but most of us couldn’t make it longer than a day or two without sugar
Halle Berry
Those abs don’t come easy! Halle Berry (53) loves to MMA train and uses kettlebells. This is one actress that we definitely wouldn’t want to pick a fight with! On top of that, she embraced the keto diet. Berry has been a diabetic most of her life, so she’s always taken food very seriously. It sounds like a lot of work, but all her effort has definitely been paying off.
Berry has said, “if you’re like me, you can possibly reverse type 2 diabetes, you’ll experience better physical endurance, better sick, and also less acne if that’s an issue.” It’s great to hear that Berry has gotten her health problems under control, but it also doesn’t hurt that she’s managed to sculpt the perfect physique in the process as well!
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek’s (53) figure seems unattainable, especially since she’s regarded as one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. The first tip she offers? Keep a good posture. Keeping your body upright forces your muscles to work all day long. She also does short but regular HIIT or cardio workouts seven days a week for 30 minutes or less. If having perfect posture keeps you looking this good, then I think it’s time we all break out a few books to balance on our heads!
Hayek is a big proponent of juicing. From a young age, she’s loved making her own juice with organic fruits and vegetables. Since she’s a foodie and avid cook, she doesn’t restrict herself. Diets aren’t really her thing, but moderation helps keep her waist thin. All that might sound pretty simple, but moderation is easier said than done! Kudos to her for her actually being able to practice what she preaches.
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba (39) is pretty strict with her workout routine. She takes spin or hot yoga classes every morning – something she does instead of sleeping in. We’re not sure how she manages that. Even though she loves YogaSculpt, she mixes it up with hardcore physical workouts to keep things from getting too dull. All those challenging workouts may be exciting, but we imagine that they’re pretty exhausting too! We think we’ll just stick with dull.
Diet is also an important aspect of her life. She sticks to a diet that’s low in sugar and carbs while high in lean proteins and vegetables. However, she can’t deny herself anything. If she has a craving, she has to satisfy it. “When I do feel that I am depriving myself, I find that I binge. That’s not a balanced way to go about it,” Alba tells Elle Australia. That’s a pretty level-headed way to look at things, and it’s nice to know that she isn’t starving herself to maintain this perfect figure.
Christie Brinkley
Christie Brinkley (66) has always been outspoken about being a vegetarian. She’s practically avoided meat since she was 12. Brinkley has maintained a consistent workout routine since the ’80s, but she also switches it up to keep things new. While Brinkley’s modeling days might be behind her, she looks just as good as she did gracing the covers of magazines in the ’70s and ’80s!
Because she’s constantly busy, she fits in what she can when she can. While working on musicals, dancing is enough. However, she also walks down the beach and moving her arms like she’s swimming. Brinkley also adores yoga. Her active lifestyle has clearly served her well over the years, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down yet! What could be in store next for this gorgeous woman?
