Known for her unforgettable portrayal of the enchanting, albeit slightly wicked, character Agatha Harkness in Disney+’s series ‘WandaVision’, Kathryn Hahn is now reprising her role in ‘Agatha All Along.’ Kathryn has been making waves not just for her riveting performance, but also for her fitness and well-being. Interestingly, a remarkable and extremely vulnerable moment from the show’s first five minutes features Kathryn in a nude scene. Surprisingly, this idea was proposed by Kathryn herself.
Kathryn explains that the raw, powerful scene symbolizes her character’s complete vulnerability. Stripped off all her powers, the character is literally bare, embodying her present state of despair and powerlessness. This compelling scene is a perfect illustration of her character’s journey from vulnerability and defeat to rediscovering her strength and power.
However, beyond her impactful on-screen performances, Kathryn Hahn’s personal fitness journey has been inspiring. Fit and strong, Kathryn looks incredibly vibrant for her age. So, what does she do to remain so fit?
Embracing the importance of mental well-being, Kathryn has adopted a fitness routine primarily as a way to boost her mental health. Though she did not have a fitness regimen growing up, she now cherishes the sense of accomplishment it brings her.
“Exercise wasn’t really a part of myself growing up, so I do feel beautiful when I feel like I’ve accomplished something physically. Working out has become a hugely essential element of my life, more so for mental well-being,” explains Kathryn.
Walking her dog and regular gym workouts are parts of her fitness regimen. She particularly loves a class called Pop Physique, which is a form of barre. Kathryn enjoys the barre class as she equates it to a form of meditation. The routine involves an hour of comprehensive exercise that activates different parts of your body but not all at once. This moderate intensity, holistic workout keeps her fit and mentally rejuvenated.
In addition to her regular workout routine, Kathryn loves using a foam roller to unwind. Recognizing how conducting our lives hunched over our devices has affected our posture negatively, she uses the foam roller to adjust her spinal alignment and counteract any slouch-to help improve her posture.
“Sometimes, simply lying on a foam roller with your arms up can open up your spine and release the tension in your shoulders caused by constant slouching,” she suggests. The effect of using a foam roller is much akin to getting a massage. She confides that her foam roller has been with her since her college days.
Sleep is another crucial aspect of Kathryn’s regimen to support her active lifestyle. Ensuring she gets her full eight hours every night, Kathryn follows a strict sleep schedule. As she tends to be a light sleeper, Kathryn also reaches out for earplugs and uses a silk eye mask to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
“I have a fan on when I sleep. I enjoy the white noise it generates, helping me fall asleep. However, being such a light sleeper, I find that without earplugs, I often wake up. So earplugs are a must-have for me,” she shares.
In summary, Kathryn Hahn’s fitness and well-being journey is not about sculpting the perfect body, but reflecting her power and strength from within. Her approach of balancing physical workouts with mental health practices, the right diet, and adequate sleep are commendable. Ultimately, it’s evident that Kathryn’s character, Agatha Harkness, isn’t the only one finding her power again; Kathryn herself is empowering her mind, body, and spirit every single day in her life.
