Sandra Bullock has been looking incredible on the Practical Magic 2 promo trail after returning to the spotlight following the death of her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, and a period away from the public eye.
The 62-year-old (yes, you read that number right!) Oscar-winning actress has a super-enviable toned physique. Need we revisit her posing in a bra and flaunting her sculpted stomach for proof? And like many Hollywood actresses, she works extremely hard for it! So, what exactly does her fitness routine involve? Keep reading to find out…

Sandra Bullock's Trainer Reveals Her Intense Fitness Schedule
According to previous reports, the Ocean's 8 star worked out for one hour, six days a week with her fitness trainer, Simone De La Rue, who told Radar Online: "She puts in an hour a day, six times a week. She is extremely motivated and driven."
De La Rue is the creator of the Body by Simone training method, which combines dance-inspired, full-body exercises with low and high-intensity cardio and strength training. "Sandy loves toned arms," De La Rue continued.
According to MiNDFOOD, De La Rue previously explained that the ageless star's sessions can involve 10-minute intervals of high-intensity cardio and strength training, with exercises targeting different parts of the body. Dance, jump rope, and rebounding are also incorporated into the routine. Sounds exhausting, but it's clearly effective!
Sandra Bullock Does Pilates, Kickboxing, And Weight Training
The Miss Congeniality alum herself previously revealed that she likes variety when it comes to her workouts, which we think is a great way to keep things interesting and avoid getting bored!
"I do Pilates, kickboxing, weight training. When I'm in Austin, I run or ride a bike," she told InStyle in the past, before adding that she actually doesn't stress too much if she happens to miss a workout...
"If I can work out every day, I will, but there are times when I won't do anything for two weeks, and I'm, like, 'You know what? I talk enough to burn calories,'" the Blind Side actress joked. We love her attitude!
And for anyone wondering what some of those toning exercises actually involve, De La Rue previously shared three of her favorite lower-body moves with SELF: glute raises, kickbacks, and inner-thigh squeezes using a small Pilates ball. The exercises are designed to strengthen and tone the legs and glutes, and can even be done at home or on the road, in Sandy's case!
Sandra Bullock Also Follows A Healthy Diet, But Still Makes Room For Treats
We've heard it before, and we'll probably continue hearing it until the end of time: abs are made in the kitchen! So it should come as no surprise to learn that alongside her impressive exercise routine, the Gravity actress also pays close attention to what she eats.
According to previous reports, her diet has included foods such as free-range turkey and hormone-free chicken, accompanied by brown rice, black beans, and steamed vegetables. And it seems meal planning has also played a part in her healthy lifestyle. As reported by Women's Fitness, Bullock previously revealed that she likes to plan her meals in advance, making lists of what she wants to eat over the coming week. Sounds like a great idea!
The Lost City star also revealed on Good Hang with Amy Poehler that when she needs a high-protein meal, she loves "a good pulled chicken salad" and 0% Greek yogurt, while also adding peptide protein to her coffee.
And much like her approach to exercise, she doesn't seem to believe in sticking to a strict diet 100% of the time. In fact, she's previously revealed that she makes room for her favorite treats, too. Perhaps that's one of the secrets to maintaining a routine!
"I observe the practice of having a weekly cheat day," she previously told InStyle, adding: "I start Friday night, and I end Saturday night. This allows me to indulge in whatever I want for 24 hours, including dark chocolate with bacon in it, raw cookie dough, or a doughnut."
