Jenna Dewan is well known for her roles in Step Up, Witches of East End, and Supergirl. She currently stars as Bailey Nune on ABC’s The Rookie. In a recent episode, Jenna and her castmates played football. She wore a stylish set of workout clothes for the scene. Jenna shared photos from the shoot on Instagram. She wrote, “Channeled a bit of my dad (who, fun fact, was a star running back for Notre Dame!) in last week’s episode. Don’t miss tonight’s episode of @therookieabc!”
In an interview with People, Jenna talked about her diet. She said she does not believe in strict dieting and allows herself occasional treats. “I’m not a fan of dieting, which is why I choose to eat healthy most of the time,” she explained. “I keep it in balance, so I don’t have to crash diet. When I want to splurge, I allow myself and don’t beat myself up. I just make a plan to eat extra healthy the next day or work out.”
Jenna’s diet includes a lot of plant-based foods. She shared why in the same interview. “I choose plant-based foods not only because they are healthy and tasty, but also because I feel ethically right,” she said. “We have become so off-balance with our animal consumption. Even one meatless meal a week helps.”
To stay fit, Jenna works with trainer Jennifer Johnson. In an interview with Health, reported by SELF, Jenna said Jennifer makes workouts fun. “She’s a trainer who is also a dancer. If it’s not fun, I won’t go. We dance and do routines for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the time we have.”
Jennifer described Jenna’s workout style in the same interview. She said Jenna focuses mostly on conditioning with some cardio. “She’s a dancer, so you might think we do a lot of dance cardio. Usually, my method is half dance cardio and half muscle conditioning. But with Jenna, it’s more like one-quarter dance cardio and three-quarters muscle conditioning.”
Jennifer also makes sure Jenna’s workouts stay interesting. She told Health, “If I feel like she’s doing the same thing too much, we change it up. We might add ankle weights, use heavier weights, try different equipment for the same muscles, or hold positions longer.”
