Hitting The Pool? Try Julia Roberts’ Aquatic Workout
At age 41, as an actress and mom to three young children, Julia Roberts still manages to stay fit and ready for a close-up. She’s a natural beauty, but this busy star also works hard to stay in shape. Her longtime trainer Kathy Kaehler spills the secrets.
“We change her workouts depending on the [film] role. I try to keep it very creative so she doesn’t get bored,” says Kaehler. With the aquatic workouts that Kaehler creates for Julia, boredom isn’t a factor.
Kahler tells In Style that Julia uses a flotation belt to work out in the pool at her home in Malibu, where she does cross-country skiing, running and arm exercises in the deep end. She warms up with a few laps of swimming, then wears the flotation belt to run one-minute intervals in the water at slow, moderate and fast speeds, repeating the entire exercise five times.
Why the water activities?
“She needs to look good on-screen, but she also needs the strength and energy to run around after her kids offscreen,” Kahler says. “Swimming and water exercises are great ways to build up endurance and stay fit.”
Summer is the perfect time to give this workout a try! Just be sure to wear sunscreen!
