Leslie Mann hasn\u2019t always been consistent with exercise. After having her daughters Maude and Iris, she admitted she hadn\u2019t been prioritising exercise and \u2018didn\u2019t work much to look good\u2019<\/a>, but when Iris turned five she \u2018decided that I wanted to start working more. And most importantly I started exercising.\u2019<\/p>\n

By 2015, the Spa Weekend star told Redbook<\/a>: \u2018I’m so inconsistent about exercise. I have periods where I’ll work out four times a week, then I’ll quit for months. I probably lean more toward those down periods.\u2026 You read about actors who wake up at 4am so they can get in a workout \u2013 that’s definitely not me. I’d much rather sleep!\u2019 <\/p>\n

But fast forward to 2022, and exercise has become a big focus. \u2018I try to exercise every day,\u2019 she told New Beauty<\/a>, adding that she also practices daily meditation, drinks a lot of water, and does the occasional \u2018detox diet\u2019. <\/p>\n

As for how she moves her body, she does something less typical: roller skating.<\/p>\n

\u2018I became obsessed with roller-skating during the lockdown, actually during the election,\u2019 she revealed to Parade<\/a>. \u2018The stress was so much. I roller-skated when I was younger, and then probably 20 years went by and I put them on again.<\/p>\n

\u2018So I bought roller skates and then just obsessively started roller-skating. It was one of the only things that made me feel better. I was just trying to learn how to do something with my brain and my body connected, and it\u2019s really hard. It\u2019s harder now that I\u2019m much, much older.\u2019<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here for it. Yes, it might feel unnatural, and it\u2019s a skill that requires practice, but it\u2019s a form of movement to genuinely enjoy. For Mann, it\u2019s not simply about getting fit \u2013 it\u2019s something that makes her feel better both inside and out. <\/p>\n

Her experience is a reminder that the best workout isn\u2019t necessarily the hardest one, nor the one you see everyone else doing on your social media feeds \u2013 it\u2019s the one you actually want to keep doing. <\/p>\n
