The True Blood star Anna Paquin has successfully made the transition from being a child star to a respected actress in Hollywood.  She also has a healthy disposition and we don’t see her getting stereotyped as being an emotional wreck such as other young stars like Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton.  In this week’s US Magazine the 27-year-old gave a few healthy tips on how she looks so great.  Anna’s fitness routine incorporates various exercises such as swimming, pilates and she has even tried surfing.  She said,

“I’m obsessed with Pilates.”

Anna also likes to watch gymnastics and she has taken trapeze classes before which is a great form of exercise.  In the photo above, Anna was spotted just last week taking trapeze lessons with her fiance, Stephen Moyer.

“I’ve always wanted to be a circus performer, so I took aerial silks classes at Trapeze School New York a few years ago.”

Apart from leading an active lifestyle Anna is sure to get a lot of rest, take plenty of naps and she avoids unhealthy habits.  As for her two vices she told the magazine that they are kombucha (a sweetened and fermented tea) and coffee.

The Academy and Golden Globe winner, Anna Paquin, played the role as a weak-minded waitress who has a preference for vampires in the recent hit HBO series, True Blood. But in the real world, this blonde bombshell is no weakling as she keeps a rigorous fitness schedule to stay in shape.

According to People Magazine, Anna works out several times a week where she does one to two hour-long sessions of high calorie burning and heart thumping exercises such as boxing and plyometrics. Plyometrics involves exercise with an abundance of jumping and bounding such as squats, jump roping and lunging. She also does weight training with her long time trainer, Clay Burwell, who owns the High Performance Gym in New York City. Clay said,

“She punches hard! And she has a mean left hook.”

You probably remember Clay as the guest trainer on the show, Make Me a Supermodel. Besides exercise, it is said that Anna maintains a vegetarian diet.
