40 Meghan Markle-Approved Diet And Workout Tips You're Gonna Want To Steal ASAP

"As I’m getting older, my approach to aging is quite different," she told Best Health in 2016. "I make sure that I take care of my skin and body, especially with the work hours I have. And I don’t just take care of myself for aesthetic reasons but because how I feel is dictated by what I’m eating, how much rest I’m getting, and how much water I’m drinking. If I don’t have time for a long workout, I’ll grab my dog and go for a quick run. Being active is my own moving meditation."

"Meghan Markle's fitness definitely takes priority; she’s very focused on her health," Meghan's trainer, Craig McNamee, CSCS, founder of Catalyst Health in Toronto, Canada, told WomensHealthMag.com in 2018. "When she gets to the gym, there’s no real complaining. She gets down to business right away and really enjoys it." (Another reason the royal is #goals.)

"Meghan is an avid runner, so she already did a lot of treadmill work on her own," McNamee explained to WomensHealthMag.com in 2018. "We’d look at what her run frequency was like that week" and build workouts around that.

In an interview with Allure in 2017, Meghan revealed her tried and true exfoliator. "I really love the Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder," she said. "It just sort of foams on your face and gives you a really subtle exfoliation." In addition to exfoliation, Meghan also mentioned being a fan of Jan Marini skincare products. "I've been using their serum lately," she said. "It's a nice glycolic one that makes your skin really glow-y."

She previously said about parenthood, "It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing. And here I have the two best guys in the world, so I’m really happy."

"You see photos on social media and you don’t know whether she’s born with it or maybe it’s a filter. Your judgement of your sense of self-worth becomes really skewed when it’s all based on likes,” Meghan said on her trip with Prince Harry to New Zealand in October 2018.

"Generally speaking, we had a full-body approach," her trainer McNamee told WomensHealthMag.com in 2018. "And since Meghan was onscreen, we really focused on posture." To do so, he always included posterior chain (glutes, back, hamstrings) exercises, in addition to plenty of core (abs, back, obliques, pelvic floor) work.

Meghan is also into circuit-based strength training. When she was still filming Suits in Toronto, she and her trainer McNamee met up three to four days a week, for 45-minute training sessions. "For Meghan, we tried to schedule these workouts early in the day, to make it a priority," he told WomensHealthMag.com in 2018. McNamee took a high-rep (20 to 25), low-weight strategy for Meghan's fitness routine—rather than heavy lifting.

Meghan and her mom, Doria Ragland, have an incredible bond. According to Oprah, Doria also loves yoga (and is currently a yoga teacher).

"Yoga is my thing,” she confirmed to Canadian magazine Best Health. “I was very resistant as a kid, but she [mom Doria] said, ‘Flower [her nickname for Meghan], you will find your practice — just give it time.’ In college, I started doing it more regularly," she added.

Meghan shared with Allure in 2017 about her makeup routine. "I don't wear foundation in real life. My routine is very simple—I call it the five-minute face. It's just Touche Éclat, curled lashes, mascara, Chap Stick, and a little bit of blush. That is my favorite kind of look. If I'm going to amp it up for night, then I use M.A.C. Teddy eyeliner, which is a really beautiful brown that has some gold in it."

"It's easy to fall into the trap of rushing for a coffee when you hit that 4 p.m. slump," she told Today. "But if I blend some apple, kale, spinach, lemon, and ginger in my Vitamix in the morning and bring it to work, I always find that sipping on that is a much better boost than a cup of espresso."

"My 20s were brutal—a constant battle with myself, judging my weight, my style, my desire to be as cool/as hip/as smart/as 'whatever' as everyone else. My teens were even worse–grappling with how to fit in, and what that even meant," Meghan wrote in a blog post on her 33rd birthday on her old website The Tig in August 2014, accodring to Marie Claire. "[I]t takes time. To be happy. To figure out how to be kind to yourself. To not just choose that happiness, but to feel it."

Meghan's trainer McNamee told WomensHealthMag.com in 2018 that she particularly loves doing lower-body exercises using a mini band—which can conveniently be used just about anywhere.

This past summer, Meghan flew from England to the United States in order to support her close friend Serena Williams as she competed in the US Open final. Best. Friend. Ever.

"I grew up on the set of a TV show called Married with Children, where my dad was the lighting director," she told Best Health in 2016. "Because of the content of the show, my dad would have me help in craft services, which is where they make all the food and nibbles–that’s where I started to learn about garnishing and plating. After being there every day after school for 10 years and seeing the appreciation of food, I started to learn the association between food and happiness and being able to entertain—I think that’s where the seed was planted."

"We’d take into account any yoga postures she was trying to improve, and focus our efforts in those areas," Meghan's trainer McNamee told WomensHealthMag.com in 2018. In other words, if Meghan was dead-set on mastering a headstand, McNamee would include some more core exercises in her fitness routine.

Meghan revealed to The Chalkboard in 2015 that her daily breakfast at the time consisted of a Clean Cleanse vanilla shake with blueberries or an acai bowl with fresh berries and Manuka honey. She also shared the recipe for her favorite smoothie, which also uses Clean Cleanse vanilla powder.

The Clean Cleanse powder is part of the Clean Program, a 21-day “nutritional cleanse” that, according to the program's website, can boost your skin, sleep, digestion, energy, weight loss, and mental clarity.

Meghan has previously said she doesn't read anything in the press, and that she and Harry make any effort to drown out noise when it comes to their relationship.

"It has its challenges, and it comes in waves—some days it can feel more challenging than others. And right out of the gate it was surprising the way things changed. But I still have this support system all around me, and, of course, my boyfriend's support. I don't read any press. I haven't even read press for Suits. The people who are close to me anchor me in knowing who I am. The rest is noise. Of course it's disheartening. It's a shame that that is the climate in this world, to focus that much on that, to be discriminatory in that sense. I think, you know, at the end of the day, I'm really just proud of who I am and where I've come from and we have never put any focus on that. We've just focused on who we are as a couple. And so when you take all those extra layers away and all of that noise, I think it makes it really easy to just enjoy being together."

This year, it was revelaed that Meghan regularly volunteered at a soup kitchen in Toronto when she was working on Suits.

"Meghan Markle was an active supporter and volunteer of St. Felix Centre during her time living in the city while working on Suits. She volunteered on a regular basis in our kitchen as part of our Community Meals Program. The duchess also donated food from the set of Suits, and on one Thanksgiving she brought in all the food, turkeys and the fixings for over 100 people."
