Regina King is no doubt one of the most sought-after actresses in Nollywood today. She is popular in her appearances in movies like Enemy of the State, One Night in Miami, Boyz “n” the Hood, Ray, and If Beale Street Could Talk.

Regina takes her health and fitness routine seriously and that could be the reason for her ageless appearance over the years. She has strategies that help her cope physically and mentally with her demanding job and she has shared these with media outlets in her interviews and on social media platforms.

Regina shares her health and fitness routine online and one thing she keeps talking about is that she attends the gym as much as her tight schedule allows. She typically goes to the gym three to four times a week and she prefers kickboxing and weightlifting as her main fitness activities.

According to a report published by Fitness Clone, Regina King is known to take part mostly in body-weight activities, including pushups, crunches, and lunges. She is also not afraid of getting into classes or new programs for weight management activities.

She also hikes at least 30 minutes a week and she advises that everyone should embrace any activity that will keep them moving.

Regina King doesn’t like the word “diet” because she believes it is a temporary health routine that wouldn’t last. She believes we need to make life changes if we truly want to change the way we look.

Regina often kickstarts her day by eating the “greens” These include snap peas, avocado, kale, spinach, and broccoli. She likes washing these greens down with smoothies.

She also indulges in light lunches, especially salads with animal proteins such as fish and lamb.

Regina believes food is medicine and one reason why Regina sticks to her food choices is to deal with hypertension, especially the high blood pressure issue that runs in her family. According to her, eating healthy and maintaining age-defying fitness is about striking a balance and she doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healthy living.

Regina says she wouldn’t reject snacking on a cookie occasionally but she generally tries to avoid snacking in-between meals.

Regina was interviewed by PopSugar and details of her skincare secrets were shared online. The actress had partnered with Vaseline on a project tagged “Equitable skincare for all campaign” — and this campaign brings awareness to the disparities existing between underserved Black and brown communities and the white majority especially when it comes to accessing dermatological care.

According to Regina, moisturizing the skin is the key to staying radiant, even for all age groups and for men and women. She confessed that she taught her son to always clean his face and get his hands and other parts moisturized. Regina admitted to loving braids because they are easier to manage.

Regina King became popular for her amazing performance in the TV series 227, which she featured in when she was a teenager. She has won Prime Time Emmy, Golden Globe, and Academy Awards at different times of her career but one thing that has kept her active in the movie scene through the years is her ability to keep her figure and health in check.
