Ugly Betty actress Vanessa Williams is one hot 47-year-old. How does she do it? She eats healthily, exercises regularly, and avoids stress. She says the older she’s gotten the more she’s learned to stop stressing about the future, because it only causes wrinkles. As Prevention magazine’s April cover girl, she shares her fitness and diet tips.
Because she’s got kids, Vanessa often finds herself making pancakes, waffles and French toast, but she knows to not stuff herself and simply cuts down on the portions. The mother-of-three was one of the few actresses who took an early liking to Pilates before most people even knew what it was. She says by working out with her trainer, Mari Winsor, she’s developed a very strong core.
Vanessa, however, also realizes the importance of weight training. The former Miss America adds strength training to her usual workouts to add definition to her body – she says Pilates, cardio and yoga can only get you so far. When she feels like she’s in a rut or needs some fresh air from her usual routine, she hikes in the hilly area of her neighborhood. She even sometimes takes a pet with her to create an interval workout.
Dance is another way to shake things up, literally. Vanessa has learned that salsa is a great cardio workout she can alternate with her three-day-a-week treadmill routine. But her biggest asset is knowing that she’s a 47-year-old mother-of-three and is realistic about her weight these days. She’ll never have washboard abs, but she is healthy and in great shape.
