Fittest Female Celebs Over 40 Who Still Look Incredible

They say that life starts at 40, but unfortunately this is also when your metabolism starts to slow down and it becomes difficult to lose those extra pounds. Of course, all bodies are beautiful, but if you want to change the way you look, these celebrities can serve as some serious inspiration. If you want to achieve your body goals, you need to put in the work, but the fundamental concept should be that you must love yourself, and the rest will follow. Here’s a list of fit female celebs over 40 that you can use as your fitspiration!

Jennifer Aniston

Being a dancer and singer is not an easy task when you’re not physically fit. Shakira shows that you can have the best of both worlds when you train hard and keep a strict regimen. Shakira’s trainer Anna Kaiser created a unique HIIT program that keeps her prepared before her next tour, and her toned figure proves it.

Cindy Crawford

For some models, their career ends at 30 years old, but with supermodel Cindy Crawford, she shows that being a successful model means never slowing down while putting in the time and effort to keep her body looking fabulous. Despite being over 40 years old, Cindy posts her gym selfies and workout routines if you’re looking for a good one to try. You may find it incredible to believe that she has TWO kids! These days, Crawford enjoys most of her time away from the limelight and chooses to focus on her multiple business ventures.

Gabrielle Union-Wade

Gabrielle Union-Wade is known for playing a cheerleader in the Bring It On movie franchise, and with the athletic stunts needed, she would have to be in the best shape.

Tracee Ellis Ross

Tracee Ellis Ross is an actress who is a fan of the Tracy Anderson Method, and she shares that you need to put in the work to wake up looking the way she does. She knows that having a great body is all about work, noting that she used to wake up like that at 18.

Kidman says that using a practical approach is the best way to reach your body goals. She continues to run and also likes doing yoga and spinning to keep herself toned.

Leslie Mann

It’s hard to believe that Leslie Mann is over 40 because she looks to be around 25 years old. She owes her youthful glow to cycling. According to an interview with PopSugar, Mann and her husband are avid participants in SoulCycle in Santa Monica. If you’re looking for cardio exercises, you might want to try cycling.

Jane Seymour

Jane Seymour has one of the best swimsuit bodies, and we can’t help but feel envy because she can rock literally any suit. She says she does this by having a diet of shellfish, fish, and vegetables. However, she doesn’t cut out the good stuff altogether and claims that she still enjoys a bite of dessert and cheese.

Sofia Vergara

Anyone who enjoys Modern Family will be familiar with Sofia Vergara. While Vergara holds an air of youth because of her personality, her body is also to die for, and something many women aspire to achieve. She says that she does go to the gym but is not entirely dedicated to a specific routine.

Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron looks incredibly young, and her body certainly doesn’t give away her age. This actress likes to do ballet-style workout routines, and according to her trainer, she dedicates 35 minutes of her workout to cardio that targets her whole body.

For her, taking care of your body in the way you want to is the best thing you can do for self-love and being happy.

Kristin Chenoweth

Chenoweth practices the virtue that says, “you are what you eat.” Oatmeal, hot tea, and almonds are just some of the staples that keep her body lovely and dainty. Of course, you should maintain a healthy diet for your body weight and keep you healthy. Starving yourself is not a good option ever.

Cameron Diaz

One of our favorite Charlie’s Angels alumni says that she likes to fill her stomach with either toast, avocado, a piece of chicken, or even an apple coated in almond butter before her workouts. This helps give her the energy she needs for her training, and it doesn’t contain too many calories for her to feel bloated.

Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama claims that exercise is a great way to avoid being stressed, which is evident because her arms look amazing. If everyone used exercise as a form of therapy, many people would probably be happier. This is Obama’s secret, and it clearly works so well for her!

Paltrow has stated that she eats a “mostly clean” diet but allows herself to eat whatever she wants for dinner. As for her workouts, she has been training with Tracy Anderson for a long time.

Naomi Watts

Watts has a timeless beauty, and we suppose that her toned body contributes to that. According to Naomi, The Class is a great program to follow if you’re looking to try out a yoga-cardio combination, which is growing more popular these days. In one of her Instagram posts, she shares that she starts the day with 100 burpees.

Courtney Cox

Friends alumnus Courtney Cox starred in a show called Cougar Town, and her body shows it. Cox is said to train with Michelle Lovitt, who also coaches Juliane Moore. According to Lovitt, Cox’s workout is a lot of strength training that involves barbells and many high-intensity training routines that keep this actress’s body in great shape.

Viola Davis

Our favorite lawyer from How To Get Away With Murder is proof that diligence is vital if you want to stick to a workout routine. She says that she wakes up as early as 3 A.M. to work out if she needs to report to work at 5 A.M. Clearly, all her efforts are paying off.

If you’re willing to cut cheese out of your life, you might be surprised by the results. Of course, working out is still something to consider for toning bodies.

Kate Hudson

While Kate Hudson has played some roles where she’s supposed to be a little on the bigger side, in real life, she keeps herself very fit. She is the co-founder of popular athleisure brand and membership program Fabletics, and says that despite having a busy mom life, she always makes time to work out. She does a combination of several workout programs to stay fit and look great. In 2016, Hudson released her first book, Pretty Happy- Healthy Ways to Love Your Body, and in 2017, she released her second book titled Pretty Fun- Creating and Celebrating a Lifetime of Tradition.

Kate Beckinsale
