Two months ago, Octavia Spencer took on a new role in relation to her health and fitness.
The Academy Award-winning actress has committed to working out, eating healthier and pushing through the hard times because she says that the effort and results are greater than the complaints.
Spencer has even shared that she works out twice a day, and even while working on set, she finds moments to do some push-ups, hold a plank pose (a pose that at one point she could only hold for 15 seconds) or just encourages her colleagues to join her. She has even worked with and gotten support from famous friends including Mark Wahlberg!
From cardio to boxing to yoga and weightlifting, the 46-year-old has been conquering it all while dealing with her sciatica. Through the obstacles, Spencer is proving to be unstoppable, and the star is just getting started.
In a recent Instagram post, she shared that she has now added supplements to her routine and is focusing more on her daily hydration because she realized she was not drinking enough water. Now, she is recognizing the changes in her body and feels great about it.
“Slow progress but all in the right direction. I’m pushing myself to improve each week on things I can control without feeling so restricted that the changes are no longer fun… I feel my body changing and definitely feel stronger. I am also setting myself up success by addressing issues that only I can change.”
