Alexandra Daddario is a devoted practitioner of hot yoga, which makes for an intense workout. In a 2019 appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden," the actor said the New York City studio where she attended classes was kept at a balmy 105 degrees. Meghan Markle had picked that particular studio to get her own sweat on while she was in the city, prompting Daddario to joke, "She can sweat on me; I don't mind."
Daddario told Women's Health that hot yoga was her go-to workout until she started filming "Baywatch." For months, she prepared for the role under the tutelage of personal trainer Patrick Murphy, who introduced her to strength training and high-intensity workouts that incorporated plyometrics and cardio machines. Daddario's muscles never knew what to expect, as Murphy kept things interesting by regularly having her perform different exercises with a variety of equipment, including BOSU balls, weights, and resistance bands. "For the first time in my life, I have real abs!" Daddario said of the results, per Women's Health.
But while hitting the gym transformed her body, hot yoga would remain Daddario's first love. "It's a great combination of good for your body but also good for your mind in the way that you approach yourself and the world around you," she explained to StyleCaster. And according to the actor, it's even more effective when combined with a prickly form alternative therapy.
