Fitness Comments Off on Tracee Ellis Ross’ Fitness And Health Habits Of 2019 – Women’s Health

Tracee Ellis Ross has been completely killing the Instagram game lately. The Black-ish star regularly shares snapshots of herself looking strong and confident in a bikini, going hard at the gym, and generally being her awesome, hilarious self. At 47 (yup, forty-freaking-seven), it seems like Tracee is really hitting her stride, health-wise. Here's *everything* she's shared about what she does for her general wellness and fitness on the reg to maintain such fantastic shape, inside and out.

1She makes sleep a priority

Tracee has made it clear that getting enough Zs is a huge thing for her. "Ive tried to choose sleep over working out, which I think is the right choice," she said on Instagram.

2She celebrates and embraces getting older

"I LOVE getting older and I LOVE my life," Tracee captioned a photo series on Instagram of herself in a bikini.

She went on to say, "Im so grateful to be living this life Im in. Ive worked so hard to feel good in my skin and to build a life that truly matches me and Im in it and it feels good. I remain curious and teachable and so it will all keep getting better." Heck, yeah!

3She's kind to herself even when she has to slow down

In one workout video on Instagram, Tracee confessed that she hasn't been working out as much lately. Then, she did herself a solid with this nugget: "Im trying to be really gentle with myself."

4She tries to work out regularly

Tracee has a full schedule, but she still works out three or four times a week, she told Health in 2017.

5But she's okay with taking breaks here and there

Sometimes you can't work out as much as you'd like to, and that's okay. "Life is in progress and sometimes that means stopping your routine. And thats ok," Tracee said on Instagram.

6She loads up on water

Tracee doesn't mess around when it comes to hydration. She makes a point to have about four liters of water per day, People reported.

7She takes workout classes

"I have to say that Tracy Anderson's workout the last five years has been really good for me," Tracee told Health.

Tracee is also not afraid to switch things up and try new forms movement (which she did with Tracy Anderson). "I find that, as adults, we stay so regimented in our movement, even if we get on a treadmill. The music changes all the patterns, and my body gets to move freely, so you feel amazingwhich is ultimately the point of the workouts, too."

8She eats foods that make her feel good

Tracee told Health that she has a "rule" about eating. Her food has to pass two tests: "Not only taste good in my mouth, but it also has to feel good in my stomach," she said. "So a lot of foods that are good in the mouth, 10 minutes later? I'm cursing myself."

9She gets inspired by other people at the gym

The feeling of watching a confident woman do her thing at the gym or in life can be contagiousand is worth celebrating, per Tracee. "One of the things that's most encouraging is you see a roomful of women working their asses off and looking beautiful," Tracee told Health. "You see women in their 40s wearing jog bras and their stomachs out proudly, walking in a stance that says, 'I love my body,' and that's exciting to me."

10She laughs...a lot

In one Instagram video, Tracee outlined her "five commandments for staying young." First up? "Giggle as much as possible."

11She has lots of workout buddies

Tracee coordinates her sweat sessions with several other very fit, and famous, friends. Earlier this year, she hit the gym with Gabrielle Union and Mary J. Blige, and posed for a badass selfie.

"I was soooo tired and not in the mood to work out this morning, so thank you @gabunion and @therealmaryjblige for the motivation and sister vibes, and @heartandhustlegym for the environment," Tracee wrote.

12She has plenty of sex

Another one of Tracee's five commandments: "Have as much sex as possible. Sorry, Mom, but its true! Brings out the best in your skin," she said, before cracking up. (Tracee added more specific instructions with text on the video: "consensual, connected, yummy, good & safe sex. Not just any sex.)

13She's not afraid to love

Tracee's final commandment: "Love with a full and open heart. Youll stay young forever I swear."

14She tries to work out even when she *really* doesn't feel like it

Some days, it can be tough to even get your butt to the gym. Well, Tracee knows the deal. She shared in one Instagram post that she was "WORKIN THRU THE JETLAG."

It appears that Tracee doesn't force a workout if it doesn't feel good on her body or helpfulbut when it's just a bad attitude that's in her way, she fights through it and comes out stronger.

"New program," Tracee captioned a too-funny Instagram video of herself doing a Tracy Anderson Method move and fake crying. My body is like, what the f is going on?

16She gets creative with kettlebells

Tracee regularly hits up the boutique gym Heart and Hustle, and she's found cool ways to use kettlebells beyond swinging them. Tracee's used them for squats and bicep curls, among other moves.

17She lets herself indulge

Tracee told People that she allows herself a once-a-week indulgence at one of her favorite restaurants where she enjoys a glass of wine. It's all about balance, folks.

20She avoids foods that don't work for her

Tracee avoids dairy entirely, she told People, although she'll splurge on cheese once a year. (This isn't to say that anyone and everyone needs to ditch dairyeat what works for you and your body/goals.)

21She has fun with food

"I eat in the same philosophy that I live with: joyfully! Tracee told People.

22She has a post-workout bite

Tracee has several snacks a day to stay properly fueled and energized, per People, like a Pink Lady apple and peanut butter, avocado toast, and chips and olives.

24She views exercise as self-care

Tracee says being healthy is a form of self-care for her. "Exercise helps make my body strong enough to do what I set my heart and mind to, I carry myself differently when I feel strong," she captioned a photo for International Self-Care Day.

25She thinks of should as a curse word

"It's literally worse than 'f,'" Tracee told Health. "'Should' has so much shame in it. There's nothing good. 'You know what you should do?!' It's awful! As I get older, I'm having fun being me for the first time."

26She takes it easy on caffeine

Tracee doesn't do coffee. "I tried coffee once in high school, and it was a bad thing," she told Health.

27She makes little tweaks to her favorite dishes

She may not eat dairy, but that doesn't mean she cuts out every dish that traditionally has dairy.

"I don't eat cheese anymore, except on Christmas," Tracee told Health. "But I love cheese. So now what I do is eat all the things you eat with cheese that make me feel like I'm eating cheeseso I'll eat the olives, eat the prosciutto, eat the dried fig, have the Marcona almond."

29She eliminates negative self talk

One thing Tracee's learned? She needs to "talk nice" to her body, per her interview with Health.

30She practices mindful exercise

Tracee doesn't just think of exercise as a sweaty calorie burn; she tunes into how movement and activity actually make her body and mind feel. "I feel the best when I work out," Tracee told Health. "I feel very strong."

31She's incredibly body positive

"I am on TV, and I don't want to lie to anybody. I'm not at my skinniest, I'm not at my fattest, but I live my life," Tracee told Health. "This is my body. Health and the functionality of my body are more important than what it looks like."

32She shows her butt some love

It took her into adulthood to appreciate certain assets. "In my 30s, I started to get comfortable with the largeness of my personality. The same thing with my butt. I tried getting really, really skinny, and I learned that no matter how thing I got, I was still gonna have a butt," Tracee told Health.

33She isn't afraid to s.w.e.a.t.

Tracee makes a point to *bring it* during workouts. "I don't starve myself, but I work my ass off at the gym," she said.

34She focuses on her glutes

"Gravity makes [my butt] drop and spread, so I try to lift and tighten," Tracee said. "[My trainer and I] specifically target it to make sure my butt is looking lifted and full. And I switch it up with other workouts, sometimes squats and lunges and deadlifts."

35She practices mindful eating

Tracee has made it clear that she loves food, but she's also mindful of what goes into her body and tunes in to eat bite. "I am aware of what I'm eating," she told Health.

36She drinks alcohol in moderation

"I don't drink a ton of alcohol. Alcohol makes the folds go deeperone glass of wine is like being on 17 airplanes; it just dries you out," Tracee told Health.

37She embraces the body she has in the moment

"Love the body you got now, because in 10 years, you're gonna be wishing that you had it," Tracee told Health.

38She makes up for lost workout time

Sometimes Tracee's workout schedule makes it tough for her to workout as much as she'd like. "Was underwater on Blackish and workouts were not possible. I took 3 weeks off," she wrote on Instagram. "This is from yesterday - day 2 in a row. I will be doing 5 in a row, 1 day off and then another 5 in a row. I'm not f---ing around!"

39She's learned to be okay being alone

"Im very pleased with my existence these days," Tracee told InStyle. "Have I had to learn to make friends with loneliness? Yes. I think if I were in a relationship, it would be the same.
