Katie Holmes\u2019 fitness routine has evolved a lot with the different phases of life. She grew up dancing<\/a> and never enjoyed working out for the sake of working out, but after seeing her dad and brother run the Boston Marathon when she was \u201913 or 14\u2019, she went on to complete the NYC marathon at 28. <\/p>\n

Since then, after becoming a mother in 2006, one simple principle has shaped her fitness routine: \u2018variety\u2019. \u2018[It\u2019s] key, or I get bored,\u2019 she told Women\u2019s Health US<\/a>. In fact, in an interview with Body and Soul<\/a>, she revealed that she does four different workouts a week. Below, find exactly what she does, and everything she\u2019s said about how they benefit her health.<\/p>\n

\u2018I try to start the week with something creative for myself, like a dance class or maybe I\u2019ll paint for a little bit,\u2019 she told WSJ<\/a>. \u2018Usually, I get up around 8. I try to write out three or four pages, just to get out my thoughts and ready myself for the day.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘I got into boxing<\/a> a couple of years ago, and now I take classes at Rumble,’ she told Shape<\/a>. ‘It targets your upper body, which is good because I can forget to do that. They play great music, and it\u2019s so fun.’<\/p>\n

In a separate interview with Women\u2019s Health US, she added: \u2018I’ve been doing a lot of boxing, which I had never done before. It’s thrilling. You can get out the stress of the day. I just go in there and think of all the mundane things that bother me. Traffic! I put off all my phone calls till after boxing, because it puts me in a much calmer place.\u2019<\/p>\n

She cycles \"katie<\/p>\n

While Katie has been pictured cycling around NYC several times, she also cycles at home: ‘I have my own spin bike, so I can do it at home when I have to get up really early,’ she told Shape.<\/p>\n

She also enjoys group classes, like Soulcycle, she revealed to Women\u2019s Health US. \u2018Because I like that sense of community, like, if she can do it, I can do it too.\u2019<\/p>\n

She weight trains<\/p>\n

Speaking to Women\u2019s Health US, she shared that prepping for past acting roles had involved two-hour sessions with a PT, including crunches<\/a>, squats<\/a> and dumbbells<\/a>. \u2018I was a five-pound-weight person, and now I can do 15, 20,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

When daughter Suri was 16, Katie said: ‘Sometimes I work out with my daughter. It just depends on the day,\u2019 she told Shape. \u2018We have our routines, and occasionally they overlap. But I don’t force her to work out with me because I know that’s lame.\u2019<\/p>\n
