Born in Queensland, Australia, Robbie rose from local TV to global fame with standout performances in The Wolf of Wall Street and Barbie. Her work has earned her Oscar nominations, worldwide recognition, and a reputation as one of the industry’s most dedicated performers. Behind her cinematic success lies a fitness lifestyle built on discipline and balance

Robbie has transformed her body for roles that demand athleticism, like the intense skating sequences in I, Tonya or the dynamic stunts of Harley Quinn. For I, Tonya, she trained for four hours a day, five days a week, combining heavy weights, core work, and specialized skating drills. For Suicide Squad, she incorporated boxing, glute-focused training, and ab-intensive workouts. Even for Barbie, her training wasn’t about achieving a certain “look”, but it was more about staying strong, functional, and fit through a blend of strength training and reformer Pilates. Her dedication is one reason fans admire how she moves, performs, and maintains her enviable athletic shape.

Margot Robbie’s Full Workout Routine

Her trainer, David Higgins, designed a consistent full-body routine focused on strength, core stability, and Pilates conditioning. A typical session looks like this:

Strength Circuit (15 reps each, minimal rest):

• Supine chest press
  
• Bent-over row (right side)
  
• Bent-over row (left side)
  
• Standing bicep curl
  
• Seated shoulder press
  
• Supine skull crushers
  

Higgins uses this 15–20 rep range to fatigue the muscles while still having time to correct form, stimulating sarcomeric hypertrophy, where tiny muscle tears rebuild stronger.

100-Rep Ab Challenge:

• 20 crunches
  
• 20 toe taps (legs together)
  
• 20 toe taps (left side)
  
• 20 toe taps (right side)
  
• 20 toe taps (legs together again)
  

Lower Body Finisher:

• 20 curtsy lunges (right side)
  
• 20 curtsy lunges (left side)
  

Reformer Pilates (2 minutes each):

• Wheelbarrow
  
• Plank hold
  
• Plank to pikes
  
• Plank hold again
  
• Glute kickbacks (both sides)
  
• Leg circles
  

This mix of strength and Pilates gives Robbie sculpted arms, powerful legs, and a famously strong core; she can hold a plank for over four minutes.

Margot Robbie’s Diet Philosophy

Robbie follows a clean, protein-rich diet when preparing for roles:

• Breakfast: porridge + green smoothie
  
• Lunch: salad with lemon chicken
  
• Dinner: fish (often tuna) with baked vegetables
  

She avoids sugary drinks, fast food, and heavy saturated fats, but she’s refreshingly real about her cravings. Off-season, she enjoys burgers, fries, chocolate, waffles, and even the occasional beer.
