Here's How Gabrielle Union Stays In Shape

Gabrielle Union is an advocate for staying fit and healthy. She even has a highlight reel on her Instagram page dedicated to nothing but fun, sweat-inducing workouts. She stays amazingly fit and joyful, so you can bet fans were excited when she gave away the secret to how she keeps in shape.

Union shared a workout routine with her more than 20 million Instagram followers that will have you racing to the gym to duplicate it. It probably comes as no surprise that keeping in as great of shape as the actress comes with a lot of hard work and dedication. As Prevention reported, Union begins her total body workout by warming up on the elliptical to get her heart pumping. She'll then move on to working out her upper body using the cable machine and then her lower body with weightlifting and lunges. Doing lunges every day promotes flexibility in your lower joints, so they're great to start off your workout.

Total body workouts, like the one Union shared with followers, work miracles for your body. According to HuffPost, working out your entire body is the perfect way to build strength and burn more calories quickly.
