Halle Berry turned 54 earlier in August, and she has been celebrating ever since by delighting her fans with a series of Instagram posts that extol the virtues of health, fitness and self-love.
Fans commenting on just how youthful she looks to this day is a common theme on Halle Berry's Instagram page, and a picture she previously shared in celebration of her 54th birthday was no exception.
Halle Berry recently shared this bikini video of herself:"54....life just gets better and better!" The actress wrote on the social media picture sharing app.
And now, Berry has taken to Instagram once more to share a post reminding us all to love ourselves, captioning the topless snap, "Self-love is never selfish."
And fans were delighted with the picture and message. "Thank you Halle Berry you inspire the best self, these times are weird: it’s good to see strength & beauty in visual grammar," wrote one commenter, while another added, "So VERY true! I wish everyone knew that!"
The first was a video (above), showing her walking along a beach in a pair of Privé Revaux sunglasses and a cut-out bikini that looked more like lacy lingerie.
"Leo Season in full effect #BirthdayWeekendVibin", she captioned the post, referencing the fact her star sign is Leo.
And for some fitness inspiration, Berry shared her workout playlist, along with a new post of herself with personal trainer Peter Lee Thomas. And like something out of Baywatch, Berry amazed in a bright red swimsuit - proving that she is growing stronger with each passing year.
She captioned the post: "Happy #FitnessFriday everyone!! Motivation is KEY these days, and while @peterleethomas and I will often work out without music, a good playlist can be a game changer! So today, we’re sharing our #SummerPlaylist, the songs we’ve been sweating to all summer (especially in this #HeatWave!). Check stories now and get to steppin’!"
Writing for Women's Health back in May, Berry revealed her approach to fitness: "My average workout these days doesn't involve a single situp or crunch."
However, there is one exception, as she continued: "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks. I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition.
"Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."
Berry also listed the following as part of her standard workout:
- 40 lunges with biceps curls, wearing ankle weights and wrist weights, and holding my foam dumbbells
- 20 squats to overhead presses, wearing a booty band and holding my foam dumbbells
- 38 lunges with biceps curls
- 19 squats to overhead presses
- 36 lunges with biceps curls
- 18 squats to overhead presses
- Continue to work your way down.
But in various Instagram posts over the last couple of years, Berry has also expressed her love for boxing, stretching, and yoga.
Halle Berry really is an inspiration to all of us!
