Starting the day at the gym isn’t the ideal morning for Gabrielle Union. Instead, she prefers to sleep in and spend some time at the gym whenever she can. If she had her way, Gabrielle says she probably would never have worked out, but she does it to avoid body shamers.

“I’m not one of those people who are like, ‘I can’t start my day without it.’ No. I can really start my day beautifully, sleep late, eat some pancakes,” she said Health. “Knowing that there are people who can’t wait to circle your fat and draw an arrow on it keeps me in the gym. So between fear of health problems and fear of ‘Stars, they’re just like us! Look at their cellulite!’ — that keeps me in the gym.”

2. Blake Lively

Blake Lively may have a personal trainer to help keep her in shape, but going to the gym isn’t her favorite thing. Instead, she says she prefers to find other ways to be active to stay healthy.

“I said before I hate the gym. I eat chocolate; yes, that part is true. But what they don’t print is that I hate the gym, so what I do instead is find other ways to be active,” he shared with Extra. “I bike, hike, hang out and exercise in nature, and I’m active that way.”

3. Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is committed to staying fit, but admits she’s not a huge fan of working out. Instead of hitting the gym, Jessica says she prefers to do something “fun” like “hip hop class, mixed with, like, basic Pilates-like exercises.”

“Sometimes I do sprint intervals just because I hate working out,” she shared with Women’s health. “Anything where I have to do something but I can distract myself from doing it is so much better for me than anything that’s repetitive. Or the music has to be loud and I have to move.”

4. Emma Stone

Emma Stone had a trainer while working on ‘Spider-Man’ in 2012 and says she’s discovered how much she hates going to the gym. Looking back on her workout sessions, she explained that going to the gym brought out some inner anger.

“I had a trainer during ‘Spider-Man’ and found that I have deep anger when I hold heavy weights above my head. Whatever dormant anger I have in me, that’s where it comes out. It’s not the type of training I want to do,” Emma said. “I’d much rather sleep at night than throw a weight across a room at someone. I’m usually a pretty quiet person, but for some reason when I walk into the gym something boils inside me.”

While some people like being alone at the gym, Sofia Vergara admits that it’s definitely not her idea of ​​a good time. In fact, she calls the whole thing “punishment” and tries to avoid it as much as possible.

“For me, it’s a punishment. It’s not like, ‘Oh, let me relax and hit the gym.’ It’s not my “me time” or my fun time. No. It’s my torture time. So of course, I try to avoid it or make excuses every time. But I try to do it at least three times a week if I’m not filming. New York Times.
