There’s definitely a lot of talk surrounding Prime Video’s new thriller series, The Better Sister, largely thanks to its leading ladies, Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks.
But, um, I think what’s really caught people’s attention is Biel’s white dress. She’s mentioned that she’s received quite a few compliments about how great she looks in it—and people really want to know about her fitness routine.
“Everyone’s buzzing about the show—it’s amazing, and oh, that white dress,” she remarked in response to a fan on TikTok who asked her to share her training secrets.
However, Biel was quick to temper expectations a bit.
“I just wanted to say that maintaining that peach shape you see on the show requires an incredibly strict diet and exercise regimen,” she shared.
While she achieved her look for the series, maintaining it, she noted, is quite the challenge.
She mentioned that it felt good to see herself in that shape again, and she was attempting to “get back to that a bit.” She also shared some workouts, courtesy of Pilates expert Ashley Brown, that helped her achieve that toned look.
The Barbell Hips Stab
To do this exercise, support your upper back on a bench and lie flat on the floor with your feet planted. Push through your heels and lift your hips until you form a straight line from shoulders to knees, squeezing your glutes at the top.
If you don’t have a barbell, you can use dumbbells instead.
Try for 4 sets of 10 reps.
Romanian Deadlift
Stand tall with a dumbbell or barbell in hand.
Slightly bend your knees, hinge at your hips, and lower your back straight while squeezing your hamstrings and glutes as you stand back up.
Again, aim for 4 sets of 10 reps.
Hamstring Curl
Lie on your back with your feet on a stable ball. Lift your hips and curl the ball towards your glutes using your feet.
Repeat for 10 to 12 reps in 3 sets.
The Goblet Stomp
Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell close to your chest and step into a deep lunge either backward or sideways.
Try three sets of 6-8 reps.
Cable/Band Inner Glute Kickback
Attach a resistance band or cable to your ankle and extend your leg straight back, focusing on the inner glute muscles.
Do 2 sets of 10-12 reps, using a stronger band for the second set.
Kettlebell Deadbugs
Lie on your back with a kettlebell in hand. Control your opposite arm and leg, lowering them toward the floor simultaneously.
Complete 12 reps for 2 sets.
By the end of her workout video, Biel was clearly out of breath.
“Oh, I’m tired,” she admitted. “My body isn’t 20 anymore.”
