Jessica Alba flaunts bikini body and chats how she stopped ‘killing’ herself at the gym

Golden Globe nominee Jessica Alba flaunted her fit 5ft8in bikini body in a cut-out Genny bikini for a tropical-set fashion spread shot by photographer Djeneba Aduayom.

‘The pandemic has forced me to be comfortable with things not being completely buttoned up, with allowing myself to not always have the answer, for mistakes to kind of stay as is,’ the 39-year-old mother-of-three said in the January/February edition of Women’s Health.

‘It’s also reinforced that real joy comes from the moments when, you know, we’re playing a game with the kids at dinner, or when [my son] Hayes wants to show us his latest trick on the scooter, or from our family walks. That’s the stuff that truly matters.’

Alba currently works out two to four times a week in her home gym, occasionally doing reformer Pilates in a COVID-safe environment.

‘I’ve learned to mix it up and not feel like a failure if I’m not, you know, killing myself.’

As for diet, Jessica avoids alcohol and eats plant-based meals four days a week but ‘all bets are off’ on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: ‘That feels like moderation to me.’

Alba makes time in the mornings to wear a soothing face mask and whenever she’s anxious she holds on to one of her many crystals and does breathing exercises.

‘I try to focus on the energy of love, kindness, and calming,’ the Pomona-born beauty noted.
