There is nothing wrong with saying that Hailee Steinfeld’s fitness approach is a reflection of how she sustains a demanding Hollywood career while staying grounded in her personal life. Hailee has been in the public eye since her Oscar-nominated debut in True Grit at age 14, followed by chart-topping music, Marvel stardom as Kate Bishop, and now headlining global campaigns.

To maintain this tremendous trajectory, she has relied on her tried and tested workout for years now. Her approach is worth examining because she represents a modern kind of celebrity fitness that is adaptable yet sustainable at the same time. "I love the feeling I get after I workout" She says and this is one sure shot way to know that Hailee Steinfeld is a fitness enthusiat at heart.

Her father, Peter Steinfeld, is a personal trainer who has coached major celebrities. Fitness and recovery have always been part of her life because of him, and when she sees a trending workout on social media, he helps her break it down and decide what actually works for her goals.

Hailee trains three to five days a week, depending on her filming schedule. When she’s home in California, her dad programs her sessions; when she’s traveling, she continues with whatever space allows. Her preference is full-body circuit training because she dislikes repetitive routines and enjoys variation.

One of Hailee’s favorite moves is the windshield wiper, an oblique-focused exercise that involves lying flat, lifting the legs, and rotating them side to side with control. It looks simple, but it challenges the entire core, obliques, rectus abdominis, hip flexors, and stabilizers. Hailee loves the move because she can mentally “trick” herself into thinking she’s just lying down. She uses mindset techniques often, imagining how she’ll feel after a workout to motivate herself through the harder moments. 

Alongside exercise, Hailee maintains a consistent diet. With straightforward meals, she tries to add proteins and a small amount of carbohydrates to get that energy for workouts. To top it up, she adds vegetables, green juices, and seasonal salads. Her Breakfast often includes oatmeal, while fruits with high water content help her stay hydrated, one of her top priorities. She has also developed an interest in cooking, believing the preparation of food is as important as the meal itself.

Hailee’s message is simple: consistency matters more than perfection. What do you think of her approach to long-term wellness? Tell us in the comments section.
