The 'Catwoman' star loves doing planks
Instead of traditional exercises like situps and crunches, Berry prefers full-body compound exercises like squats to challenge her abdomen. She's a huge fan of planks. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks. I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition," she once wrote in Women's Health.
Berry and her trainer launched their workout series online
Last year, Berry collaborated with her long-time trainer Peter Lee Thomas on a series of workouts that can be done literally anywhere and are free to access. The duo's rēspin wellness platform launched the workout series on the FitOn app. Berry is a huge devotee of martial arts, so the sessions also include martial arts-inspired exercises, plyometric movements, and straight-up weight training.
Berry's workout routine is usually varied
Berry's workout regime is extremely varied, and she loves mixing things up. She has been a fan of boxing for 12 years and practices it regularly. Yoga is also an important part of her workout routine, and she practices it to warm up before doing high-intensity exercises. Post-workout stretching and lengthening are important for her to stay athletic and super-fit.

The actor follows a ketogenic diet and starts her day with bulletproof coffee. For breakfast, she has scrambled eggs, peppers, and onion with a side of avocado. Post-workout, she has an electrolyte drink or a keto-friendly bar. For lunch, she has a simple soup or a green protein-rich salad. Berry has healthy chips for evening snacks and grilled vegetables with plant-based protein for dinner.
