Gabrielle Union works out regularly to keep herself fit and healthy. Already in her late 40s but the actress stays toned and slender performing squats and lunges. However, this doesn’t mean she spends hours and days working out the gym. She has a crazy schedule after all with full-time acting and being a mom.

So she tries to squeezes in some time for her workouts fitting in about three 50-minute exercises every week. With each session, she allots about six minutes of cardio. “I like to mix it up so I don’t get anxiety staring at the treadmill,” said the actress. “Cardio could be jumping jacks, running up my driveway, side shuffles like I used to do in basketball, an elliptical, treadmill, or sled pushes.”
