Elle Woods once said, “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands.” But they give you a hot body.

Running
Bernardo attests to the mood-boosting benefits of running, citing the release of endorphins—the body’s natural “happy” hormones—as a key motivator. Incorporating two to three runs per week into her routine, she harnesses the cardiovascular benefits of this high-impact activity, which include improved heart health, increased stamina, and enhanced mental clarity.
Tennis
As a tennis player, the cover star engages in regular practices to elevate her fitness game. Beyond the physical demands of the sport, tennis offers a dynamic full-body workout that challenges agility, coordination, and reflexes. By honing her skills on the court, Bernardo burns calories and engages mental focus and strategic thinking.
Lagree
Bernardo also explores Lagree—a high-intensity, low-impact workout that targets multiple muscle groups simultaneously. This fitness method combines elements of strength training, cardio, and Pilates to sculpt lean muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance core stability. With Lagree, Bernardo strengthens her body from the inside out, achieving a toned physique with long-lasting results.
Lifting Weights
Under the guidance of a knowledgeable coach, the actress embraces the benefits of weightlifting as a means to sculpt and define her physique. Contrary to common misconceptions, lifting weights not only builds lean muscle mass, but also boosts metabolism, increases bone density, and enhances overall strength and athleticism. By incorporating resistance training into her routine, Bernardo empowers herself to push past physical limitations and unlock her full potential.
Functional Training
Bernardo embraces functional training—a dynamic approach to fitness that focuses on movements that mimic real-life activities. By engaging in exercises that improve mobility, balance, and stability, she enhances her body’s ability to perform everyday tasks with ease and efficiency. From squats and lunges to kettlebell swings and battle rope exercises, Bernardo’s functional training regimen builds functional strength and resilience, laying the foundation for a strong body.
Achieving a hot bod goes beyond aesthetics, as it’s about nurturing the body, mind, and soul through a balanced and diversified fitness regimen. By incorporating activities like running, tennis, Lagree, lifting weights, and functional training into her routine, Bernardo transforms her physique to cultivate vitality, confidence, and empowerment. Inspired by her holistic approach to fitness, individuals of all ages and fitness levels can unlock the secret to a hot body and acknowledge movement as life. You don’t have to shoot your husband; you just have to have a hot body.
