Katie Holmes Reveals Her Health & Wellness Tips: 'I'm Not Afraid to Take a Nap'

Katie Holmes is sharing some of her best health and wellness advice!

The 40-year-old Ray Donovan actress stepped out for the Hoka One One Pop Up Women Who Fly Panel held on Friday (November 1) in New York City.

“I’m not afraid to take a nap in the middle of the day or any time,” Katie said at the event (via Footwear News). “I’m sort of always done that — whenever I’m on set I always nap at lunch because it resets me. And sometimes I just need to be quiet for 20 minutes and think and regroup, whether it’s going through a list of gratitude in my head or what am I coming up against and how can I figure that out and go about it in a different way, like if I’m not reaching that goal what’s standing in my way and how do I fix that because there are roadblocks and its really hard and you can get down on yourself, like, ‘Gosh, do I suck?’ And then you have to figure it out.”

On her personal fitness routine, Katie Holmes shared, “I do a variation. I used to put a lot of pressure [on myself], like ‘Did I work out five times this week?’ whatever, and then I was like, I’m going to put this in the category of self care and actually enjoy it and look at it like that because I don’t have to put the pressure. I do yoga or boxing or cycling, sometimes I run. I did the marathon in 2007 and I felt like I really ran it. I don’t run as much as anymore. I thought I would run 10 miles a week after that but oh no, that’s really long.”

“It always makes me feel better because even if I do five minutes it’s better than sitting on the couch, just get the body moving,” she continued. “If I’m stressed about it something it immediately clears that and then I can think more clearly, look at it from a different point of view. It’s like taking a walk, it gets everything loosened up. I’ve been running and working out since I was about 11 and when I was growing up if I had a test I would calm myself and it just helps when you’re around with a lot of different energy or whatever and you need to get rid of that and back to being myself.”

Katie Holmes added, “In general, if I don’t feel like going to work or I don’t feel like going to work out usually those are the days that I grow the most or I discover something that I never thought I would or it turned out to be one of the best days. I always try to keep that in mind.”
