At 45, Sandra Bullock is looking fabulous and incredibly fit. What is even more amazing is that her diet and exercise plan is easy to follow and allows you to a cheat day once a week! Here are the details.

Sandra’s diet plan includes s quite simple. She doesn’t really have a specific diet plan! She exercises portion control, eats lots of veggies and keeps fats to a minimum. She does allow herself one cheat day per week where she can eat what ever she wants. She calls this cheat day a motivation to stick to a healthy diet the rest of the week. She used to yo-yo diet and her weight would go up and down which made her unhappy because when she was on the heavier side, she would not like the way she looked or felt. However, when she was dieting she had to be very disciplined which also made her unhappy….and hungry. So, she has stuck to this plan of simply controlling portions and eating very healthy foods. Then she gets to indulge one night a week!

As for her exercise regimen, she keeps variety in the mix. “I do a lot of Pilates, kick boxing and weight training in L.A. and when I’m in Austin I run or ride a bike,” says Bullock. Her LA trainer, Eden Paul, added, “We love to incorporate plyometrics (jump training), weights, Pilates and boxing.” Again, the secret ingredient in Bullock’s exercise plan is variety. The variety keeps her maintain her motivation and stay healthy and fit. Of course funny woman Bullock adds, “People ask, ‘How do actresses do it?’ Um, they pay us to do this in order to look good on film.”
