Health Magazine got the inside scoop on what the stars of Star Trek are doing to keep in shape this summer.  Be it fat burning boot camp, the core toning pilates or the mental challenges of martial arts the newest generation of Star Trek is a health conscious and active crew.  John Cho, who stars as Hikaru Sulu said,

“I really liked the martial arts stuff I learned during the filming of Star Trek, but learning Tae Kwon Do has been a bumpy road to be honest. I also recently got into the Israeli martial arts Krav Maga due to another project I’m going to be working on, and that is really unbelievable. It’s very intense and good for you. I definitely want to pursue that more this summer.”

The lovely Zoe Saldana who plays Uhura works out year round and it appears Pilates is her passion.

“I love doing Pilates—doesn’t matter what season it is.”

Lastly, there’s Zach Quinto who stars as Doctor Spock. He revealed he’s into boot camp workouts because of the structure.

“There was a group of us who did sort of a Star Trek boot camp in preparation for some of the physical scenes we would be doing. That changed my routine because it gave me more structure than my own physical workout regimen. This summer, I’d like to get back to that. I will go to the gym as much as possible and do a lot of yoga.”

Zoë Saldana is one of the sexy new crew members of Star Trek.  She has a great body, positive outlook and surely the Trekkies of the world can’t get enough of her intergalactic beauty.  In an interview with Women’s Health Magazine she told readers a bit about her workout routine.  Even though she is super busy these days being on the fast track to stardom she still finds exercise to be a very important part of her life.  Primarily, she does Pilates three times a week but also has a workout with a trainer.  In regard to Pilates she said,

“It’s the closest thing to dance.”

Considering that Zoë studied ballet for years as a child and her first big role was as a ballerina in the 2000 movie Center Stage, it makes sense that she likes Pilates.  The actress did admit that she needs a trainer to keep her going in the gym:

“I get bored really easily. If I didn’t have a trainer to push me, I’d go walk for about 15 minutes,” she says, groaning. “But I love feeling in tune with my body and eating right.”

The thirty-year-old also said that she doesn’t do crash diets and won’t deprive herself of food:

“Sometimes I pig out on pasta, but that’s OK,” she says, staring lovingly at the lobster ravioli on her plate. “The next day, I just eat healthy.”
