When she\u2019s not starring in everything from The Act and We Were the Lucky Ones to Practical Magic 2 alongside Nicole Kidman<\/a>, Sandra Bullock and Maisie Williams, Joey King likes to stay active.
<\/p>\n

But she doesn’t rely on one go-to workout. For Joey, variety is what keeps exercise enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\u2018I get bored really easily if I do the same thing over and over again,\u2019 she previously told Women’s Health<\/a>. \u2018I\u2019m not one of those people who can go to a class and have that be my workout four times a week.\u2019<\/p>\n

Instead, she mixes traditional strength training with walking<\/a> and at-home workouts. Here’s what her fitness routine looks like.<\/p>\n

Joey King walks every day<\/p>\n

The foundation of Joey’s routine is surprisingly simple: walking.<\/p>\n

Her two dogs, Jesse and Fable, make sure she gets outside every day.<\/p>\n

\u2018The best part about having animals in your home is that they need exercise,\u2019 she said. \u2018Even when you\u2019re feeling groggy and don\u2019t want to get up, you have to take the dogs for a walk.\u2019<\/p>\n

Joey typically heads out twice a day, fitting in one 30-minute walk in the morning and another in the evening.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s such a nice way to start the day,\u2019 she said. \u2018It forces you to get your legs moving and get some vitamin D<\/a>. I love taking [the dogs] for hikes because it\u2019s just so cute to watch them sniff everything. I could sit for hours watching them sniff.\u2019<\/p>\n

While walking might not feel particularly intense, it’s one of the simplest ways to improve your health. Research<\/a> suggests that even relatively small amounts of brisk walking each day can lower the risk of premature death, cardiovascular disease and cancer.<\/p>\n

Joey King’s favourite strength workout<\/p>\n

Alongside walking, Joey loves strength training<\/a> and isn’t afraid to lift heavy.<\/p>\n

\u2018Weights have always been my favourite because I find it to be the most enjoyable and I see the most change in my body,\u2019 she said. \u2018If I had to choose one workout for the rest of my life, I think it would be deadlifts<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n

She’s backed that up on Instagram, too. In one post<\/a>, Joey celebrates a new personal best by trap-bar deadlifting 140lb (63.5kg).<\/p>\n

She also uses YouTube workouts<\/p>\n

Another reason Joey never gets bored? She’s always trying something new.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ll literally just Google a workout, and [do] the first thing that comes up,\u2019 she explained. \u2018There\u2019s this 30-minute kettlebell workout<\/a> I love that gets me sweating.\u2019<\/p>\n

The workout combines kettlebell squats, lunges and presses, making it a straightforward full-body session that’s ideal for anyone training at home with minimal equipment.<\/p>\n
