Here's revealing her fitness secrets on her 34th birthday.
She practices strengthening and toning exercises
Collins prefers working out in moderation and believes in moving her body daily in some way. "What I love most is Body by Simone. It's a method that incorporates strengthening and toning.

Collins works out six days a week for 40-70 minutes
The Mirror Mirror actor loves swimming whenever she gets an opportunity. She goes for strict workout sessions to maintain a fit and healthy body. Her regular workout routine includes yoga, cardio exercises, core workouts, and strength training workouts. Collins manages to work out six days a week for at least 40-70 minutes. She practices a 10-15-minute warm-up session as a pre-workout routine.
Collins is a clean eater and doesn't eat red meat
Collins had battled an eating disorder called anorexia and now she is not aiming for weight loss. "I'm a clean eater. I love chicken, fish, vegetables, and grains like quinoa, but I don't eat red meat. I steer clear of processed foods. I'm very farm-to-table; growing up in the English countryside, it was a way of life, not a trend," she said.
Here's what the actor's diet plan looks like
Collins starts her morning with lemon water. She usually prefers having some oatmeal and fruit for breakfast. Her lunch includes salmon or chicken, quinoa, and salad. She usually prefers eating out for dinner and likes to get it done by 6.30. She loves snacking on veggies and juices throughout the day. She also enjoys baking and sometimes indulges in sweet treats.
