Actress\u00a0Kate Beckinsale<\/b><\/a> works hard to maintain her trim and toned body, and it sure has paid off in how amazing she looks in bikini photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Underworld<\/i>\u00a0franchise star\u2019s personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson, revealed how she rarely takes a break from her fitness schedule<\/a>. \u201cKate is a six-day-a-week person,\u201d he told\u00a0Us<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in August 2018, adding, \u201cShe\u2019s definitely up there among my hardest workers. I mean every single day is push, push, push.\u201d<\/p>\n But getting motivated isn\u2019t always easy for the British-born beauty. \u201cI start out absolutely dreading it, do an incredibly punishing workout<\/a>, bitch about it the whole time, and end up feeling 100 percent better when I leave,\u201d she told\u00a0Shape<\/em>\u00a0in 2016. Kate also keeps things healthy with a plant-based diet and doesn\u2019t have a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n Kate saves in the calorie department by not drinking.\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t drink alcohol. I feel [its effects] very quickly, so I\u2019ve never actually had an entire glass of anything alcoholic,\u201d she revealed to the publication.<\/p>\n The Van Helsing<\/em> star\u2019s Instagram page is filled with videos and photos from her intense workouts. She does everything from compound exercises, Pilates, yoga, strength training, boxing, cardio and more. While she may \u201cbitch about it,\u201d Kate is all-in when it comes to staying in swimsuit shape<\/a>!<\/p>\n The star does post bikini photos every now and then to her Instagram page, and epically defended herself in December 2019 when a user asked about sharing such snapshots at her age. Kate wrote an inspiring essay-style response that there\u2019s nothing wrong with embracing one\u2019s body as you get older. The brunette beauty turns 49 on July 26, 2022.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know you and I don\u2019t know who has made you feel that if you get older you have no value, can\u2019t be attractive or sexy or have a relationship with your body that isn\u2019t only self-loathing. But as one female to another, don\u2019t let any of that noise bother you,\u201d Kate began.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ll feel more powerful, may well physically blossom, know who you are and what you want and get good at setting healthier boundaries.\u201d She added, \u201cIf you\u2019re young and fearing getting older, don\u2019t. It\u2019s not at all how people scare you it will be, especially for a woman. You\u2019ll come into your own power in a way that feels steady and so many more things will feel possible.\u201d Preach, Kate!<\/p>\n
