• Kate Beckinsale just took to Instagram to demo her core workout—and it is intense.
• In the new clip, the 48-year-old actress is hanging by her knees from a ladder suspended on the ceiling. She then does a full rep of crunches, and I gotta say: I’m in complete awe.
• But that’s not all Kate does to keep in shape, if you can believe it. The star does way more: She works out at least six times a week, doing weighted full-body workouts in addition to cardio. Whew!

Kate Beckinsale is back on Instagram with another wild core workout. In the video, Kate, 48, is hanging by her knees from a ladder suspended on the ceiling—and she proceeds to do full reps of crunches…defying gravity and leaving our mouths wide open.

She captioned the 10-second video with a simple, “💛”.

And her followers are totally in awe of her strength: “Damn girl 🔥🔥,” one wrote. While another commented, “Beastmode Kate!!!” Even producer Mark Adderly was impressed, saying, “Jesus H Christ…”

And while Kate’s always been known to take her fitness seriously, her ab workouts are becoming notorious. Last year, she posted a video featuring some of her hardcore moves that included hanging leg raises and battle rope work, followed by an intense stretch session with trainer Brad Siskind—who works at Gunnar Peterson’s gym. She told Women’s Health that she works out at least six mornings a week. “The whole hour is work,” Siskind told WH.

Kate shared her entire workout with WH, which starts with a full-body workout composed of eight compound exercises that each work two muscle groups simultaneously—such as a biceps curl as she squats or situps with combination punches. After the set, she’ll do 90 to 120 seconds of a cardio interval, like rowing or the VersaClimber. Then she’ll do the eight exercises again—this time with heavier weights, added bands, or faster reps. After the 45 minutes it takes to complete both circuits, she’ll finish with a cardio interval using a rubber Inertia Wave, or one-leg pushes on a curved Skillmill treadmill. (I’m tired just reading about it!)

She also loves yoga. “I love yoga, and that’s all I used to do,” she told Shape in 2016. “But hardcore workouts have really made a big difference in my life. I have a lot of internal energy, and intense exercise helps me channel that energy. I find balance by doing a workout that makes me pour sweat. I never was that girl before, but I am now.”

As for her diet, Kate told Shape that she used to be a vegetarian. “I was a vegetarian for a really long time because I am incredibly squeamish about meat. But when I was filming Pearl Harbor, I didn’t have enough energy, and the trainer I was working with at the time said ‘You’ve got to start eating chicken and fish.’ So I did, and that helped me.”

She told WH that her current diet includes protein, usually chicken or eggs with grass-fed butter. And the rest of the day she likes salads with radishes, brussels sprouts, and safflower oil; salmon; and the occasional handful of potato chips.

BRB. Gotta renew my gym membership!
