Jessica Biel, 43, admits her 'peak shape' is 'not maintainable' without strict workouts
Jessica Biel admitted that even she has trouble maintaining her fit 5ft7in figure while demonstrating the lower body workout crafted by her fitness trainers Ashley Brown and Ben Bruno. The 43-year-old Emmy nominee was responding to a fan who complimented how toned and taut her body looked while wearing the $1,190 white Proenza Schouler 'Selena Twist Back Crepe' dress in her new Prime Video series, The Better Sister. 'Everyone is the white dress and how do we stay strong as we get older. Specifically, as women, how do we keep our back strong?' Jessica - who boasts 19.3M social media followers - told TikTok last Thursday. 'That peak shape in the show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness, which I cannot do. I'm currently back on my plan to get a little bit back towards that shape.' Biel proceeded to perform several sets of hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, hamstring curls, goblet step through lunges, cable med glute kickbacks, and kettlebell deadbugs in the gym. 'I'm tired. My body's not 20 years old anymore, you know? So I'm adjusting my workout to what I need to do,' the Fatal Destination producer-narrator admitted. 'You've got to build muscle. That's a key part of my particular routine. And a ton of flexibility. I hope it wasn't totally boring. Thanks for checking it out. Let's get older and stronger together!' And it's clearly paid off for Jessica, whose husband Justin Timberlake told her that her 'a** was poppin' in her new asymmetrical patterned dress and leather jacket. 'Look at you!' the 44-year-old pop star gushed on Instagram Sunday. 'Okay, uh-huh! With the jacket, hmm. Wow! Looks so good! It's super cute. You look so cute. I'm going to make you wear that around [our Montana home] just like when we go to get gas and stuff. So cute! No, your a** is poppin.' Biel reposted Justin's video and wrote: 'It's always a good night when your husband says your a** is poppin'.' On July 31, the married couple of 12 years will celebrate the fifth birthday of their son Phineas, and they're also proud parents of 10-year-old son Silas. Timberlake and the Tennessee-born brunette originally met in 2007 while snowboarding with a group of friends in Park City, UT. Before Jessica - the 10-time Grammy winner reportedly romanced the likes of Fergie, Britney Spears, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Milano, Emma Bunton, Tatyana Ali, Cameron Diaz, and Lindsay Lohan. Before Justin - Biel was said to have previously dated her 7th Heaven co-star Adam LaVorgna, her Cellular/London co-star Chris Evans, and retired New York Yankee Derek Jeter. Timberlake is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 121-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Romania's Bonțida Bánffy Castle in Bonțida this Thursday.

On September 13, the No Angels singer pled guilty to driving while impaired, paid $760 in fines, agreed to do 25 hours of community service at a non-profit of his choice, and had his New York license suspended for 90 days. Justin - who refused to take a breathlyzer test - successfully avoided a criminal DWI charge and infractions for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane stemming from his June 18, 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, NY. Meanwhile, the Golden Globe nominee's upcoming acting projects include Apple TV+ adventure comedy Matchbox alongside John Cena and Kyle Marvin's Yosemite mountain climbing drama Batso alongside Ethan Hawke.

Jessica Biel Reveals Her Exact Workout After Viral White Dress Moment From ‘The Better Sister'
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." There are a lot of reasons people are talking about Amazon Prime's The Better Sister right now: It's got an all-star cast and thrilling twists and turns. Another reason? Jessica Biel's super strong physique. Jessica is the first to say that her body and strength displayed on the show are not easy to come by. 'That peak shape in that show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and your fitness,' she said in a TikTok. And, as of now, she's actually *not* living that lifestyle, she shared. But, Biel still works hard in the gym. Just ask her one of her trainers, Ben Bruno, CFSC. 'Some of our friends have texted me that Jess looks great in the show, and that's not by accident,' he said on Instagram. 'Jess works her ass off consistently so stuff like this is kinda the norm for her, but it's anything but normal. She's a total badass in the gym, and she makes all the hard exercises look easy.' For Biel, it's all about building muscle and staying strong as she ages. 'You gotta build muscle so that's a key part of my particular routine,' she said in the TikTok. Curious about how she's working out right now? Biel dropped her routine, inspired by her 'fitness friend,' Ashley Brown, a nutrition, strength, and Pilates coach. You can follow along below. How to: Sit with feet flat on floor in front of couch, workout bench, or stable chair. Rest shoulder blades directly across the surface. Lift seat up off floor, walk feet out until planted slightly beyond knees, and add weight (either a dumbbell on each hip or a barbell across hips). Push through heels and engage glutes to extend hips up until body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees. Reverse the movement to return to start. That's 1 rep. Reps/sets: 10 x 4 How Biel does it: While she'd typically use a barbell, Biel opts for two 10 kg (a little over 22 pounds) dumbbells in her video because that's what she has handy. How to: Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold barbell or dumbbells out in front, near thighs. Keeping back and legs straight, hinge at hips and focus on sending hips and butt back as you lower the barbell/dumbbells toward ground. Make sure weight is in heels. Maintain position and lower yourself as far as your flexibility allows, ideally with weight(s) landing at least in middle of shins. Engage glutes, contract hips, and drive back to starting position, locking hips out at top. You should feel a squeeze in your hips and quads as you lock them out. That's 1 rep. Reps/sets: 10 x 4 How Biel does it: In the video, she uses 10 kg dumbbells. How to: Lie on back with feet propped on exercise ball with legs extended. Squeeze glutes up. Pull hells back towards butt, bending at the knee. Keep glutes squeezed up. Slowly extend legs back out to straightened position. That's 1 rep. Repts/sets: 10-12 x 3 How to: Hold dumbbell or kettlebell high up into chest. Step right leg forward and out. Lower back leg down until both knees are bent to 90 degrees. Push off front leg to return to standing. Step that same leg back, lowering the front leg down until both knees are bent to 90 degrees. Push off front leg to return to standing. That's 1 rep. Reps/sets: 6-8 x 3 How to: Attach cable or resistance band to sturdy object. Step into band with one foot, band looping under shoe. Facing post where band is attached, engage right glutes to kick straight right leg back and up until nearly parallel with floor. Slowly and with control, reverse the movement to return to start. That's 1 rep. Repeat on other side. Reps/sets: 10-12 x 2 How Biel does it: She ups the resistance for her second set for progressive overload. How to: Lie faceup on floor with arms and legs in air, knees bent 90 degrees, and holding a kettlebell. Maintaining contact between low back and floor, brace core, then slowly and simultaneously lower right leg until heel nearly touches floor and left arm until hand nearly touches floor overhead. Pause, then return to start and repeat on opposite side. That's 1 rep. Reps/sets: 12 x 2$11.76 at at at You Might Also Like Jennifer Garner Swears By This Retinol Eye Cream These New Kicks Will Help You Smash Your Cross-Training Goals
