Years ago, the actress gained 35 pounds. Ultimately, she sought the help of a health coach, which has since helped her lose the weight and consistently stick to a healthier lifestyle. Of course, this includes following a regular workout routine. Although she’s doesn’t take her exercise regimen to the extreme, she continues to do the basic. “I’m not an exercise freak, but I know when I walk, when I work out, when I do something, I feel better. I feel more powerful and I feel strong—and I want to feel strong,” said the actress.
