It took Alexandra Daddario 15 years from landing her first role as a victimized teen Laurie Lewis in the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children in 2002 to Summer Quinn in the American action-comedy, Baywatch, in 2017 to become a style and fitness icon.

“I always loved storytelling,” said Alexandra Daddario

Alexandra Daddario decided to become an actor at the age of 11. She further stated that she could’ve done anything as she had all opportunities. She was studying at Marymount Manhattan College when she felt a passion for making a career in acting and dropped the college to pursue a full-time acting career.

For acting, she learned the Meisner acting technique for years and became an outstanding actress ready to accept challenging roles like horror, science fiction, and comedy. Soon she proved that she’s a multitalented actress. Her music video song “Radioactive” surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube.

With acting, she also maintained her figure and beauty. Her quick and surprising rise in the competitive film industry proves that she’s a fitness enthusiast. Her role in Baywatch could be taken as her fitness example. She worked out a lot to put on weight to fit into the swimsuit designed for Summer Quinn.

“For Baywatch, I started doing weight training,” said Alexandra Daddario

Summer Quinn was a demanding role for a lean Alexandra Daddario. She had to work hard to feel strong to become a savior. And she said that she started doing the weight training she had never done before. She further stated that she noticed a huge difference in her body type. She called the transformation amazing she went through while preparing for Baywatch.

Patrick Murphy, her fitness trainer, ramped up her workouts to four to five days a week. The hour-long high-intensity workouts with free weights, sliders, and resistance bands made her feel strong and confident. During filming, said Alexandra Daddario, she felt for the first time in her life, she had real abs.

Alexandra Daddario still does high-intensity workouts with her trainer twice a week to maintain the fitness achieved during the Baywatch movie. Also, she does yoga a lot. She said that yogic exercises helped her manage anxiety and get sound sleep. And feeling mentally good was as important as feeling good physically, said Alexandra Daddario. It was only due to her dedication to fitness that she bagged the role of Summer Quinn in Baywatch.

But Alexandra Daddario couldn’t do a high-intensity workout without taking a healthy diet

She doesn’t stress too much about food and eats when she feels hungry. The 5’10” Baywatch star says that she listens to what her body needs. She prefers a natural diet but, says Alexandra Daddario, it would become difficult for one to resist eating too much sugar if one gets too hungry and doesn’t give oneself what she needs sometimes. Her focus is on being healthy and not obsessing over food.

For example, Alexandra Daddario loves eating eggs and doesn’t mind using butter … Find more
