Jennifer Garner has dedicated herself to a rigorous workout routine to prepare for her roles, including her recent cameo in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Her workouts involve boxing three times a week and spending a lot of time on her Peloton bike. She has also engaged in box jumping workouts with a plyo-box and focuses on plyometrics training to build strength, coordination, and cardiovascular stamina. Her personal trainer Beth Nicely considers her a professional athlete due to her incredible strength and commitment to fitness.
When it comes to her exercise routine, Garner starts her day with a workout and doesn’t stop working out even when she’s traveling. She enjoys box jumping workouts with a plyo-box six days a week and makes use of hotel gyms or workout videos while on the road. Garner goes hard while training for physical roles, such as in the film “Peppermint,” undergoing intense weight training, dance cardio, boxing, and stunt work to prepare for her character. Her trainer emphasizes the importance of consistency in her routine, as fitness is a lifestyle for Garner rather than a fad.
Garner also pays attention to her diet, choosing to eat a balanced diet rather than following extreme diets. She typically follows an 80/20 rule, where she eats healthily most of the time but allows herself indulgences like pizza at kids’ birthday parties. She experimented with the Be Well by Kelly diet in preparation for a movie role and found it to be beneficial. Garner relies on the right sneakers to fuel her workouts, favoring Brooks models such as the Ghost and Glycerin for running and HIIT workouts.
For breakfast, Garner typically has a smoothie, eggs, whole-fat yogurt, nuts, and berries. Snacks often include an apple and peanut butter, while lunch consists of a salad with arugula, fresh veggies, cheese, and nuts. Her dinners are described as “mom food,” including roast chicken, potatoes, or rice, and a salad. Garner emphasizes the importance of finding joy in workouts to make them effective and sustainable. She also stresses the need for accountability, whether it’s through working out with friends or committing to a schedule to stay consistent.
