Eva Longoria is the latest star to sit down with Women’s Health for their cover story and give us a close look at her workout routine and eating habits. From trampoline workouts to intermittent fasting, here’s how she’s staying happy and healthy.

The Desperate Housewives star has been doing mini trampoline workouts for quite some time and she swears by online classes created by a New York trampoline studio The Ness.

“It makes me present. You really have to focus on the routine and memorize the movements. They switch sides a lot, which can throw you off, so you have to be on top of it. I love that,” the actress told Women’s Health.

Longoria’s workout for the day isn’t done after 30 or 45 minutes of bouncing on the trampoline. She tends to round her hour with strength training, but she also enjoys everything from kettlebell flow classes to yoga and meditation. Her priority is to get her body moving every day, even if it’s just stretching or going for a walk.

As for her diet, Longoria is one of many Hollywood stars who embraced the practice of intermittent fasting, and she usually eats within an eight-hour window between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Her diet includes a lot of veggies and protein, such as steak, fish, or chicken, but she’s trying to add more plant-based ingredients to her diet. As for her guilty pleasures, Longoria isn’t a fan of sweets or chocolate, but she can’t resist pretzels, popcorn, and potato chips.
