Michelle Pfeiffer is one of Hollywood's best-loved actresses, and at 67, she is feeling better than ever. The actress, best known for her roles in Scarface, Batman Returns, and Dangerous Liaisons , has previously offered fans an insight into her workout routine, filming social media videos at her Pacific Palisades pad.
In 2021, she recorded herself running on the treadmill and has also been known to dance along to music on the treadmill, too, alongside a spot of yoga. Now, Nicole Chapman , a personal trainer and founder of the Power of Mum fitness app, has broken down why Michelle's chosen modes of exercise are working so well for her.

Inside Michelle Pfeiffer's workout routine
"What really stood out to me, watching Michelle Pfeiffer's video, is that she is clearly enjoying it. She is literally dancing on the treadmill, and that matters more than people think," Nicole tells us.

"An activity you enjoy, you are far more likely to keep doing than one that fills you with dread… I think that is an important reminder because it is very easy to look at Michelle and fall into the usual narrative of 'she looks great for 67', but what we should be recognising is that she looks strong, she looks happy, and she has said herself that her body feels energised for the day."

A well-rounded approach
The personal trainer tells us that a mix of walking, cycling, yoga, and Pilates is a really well-rounded approach. "It covers the key things we need as we get older. Strength and muscle support are a big one. Whether that is Pilates or resistance-based training, it helps counter the natural loss of muscle as we age," she explains.

Michelle's cardio takes place on a treadmill
"It supports metabolism, joint stability, and day-to-day life like lifting, carrying, and staying independent."

Nicole also explains that low-impact cardio, like walking or cycling, is often overlooked. "However, it is one of the most sustainable ways to support heart health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing," she says.
Staying mobile
"Mobility matters too. Things like yoga help with stiffness, reduce aches, and keep you moving well, which is often what people notice the most day to day," she adds. "But what stands out most is not the individual workouts; it is the approach. She is consistent. She mixes things up. She has chosen movement that fits her life rather than forcing something extreme."

For women of a similar age looking to get fit, Nicole says that applying Michelle's workout routine in a 'one size fits all' fashion is not recommended. "We do not all have the same time, energy, or support systems. So it might look like walking more where you can, moving your body little and often, and bringing in elements of fun so it does not feel like another thing on your to-do list," says the fitness expert.

Yoga helps to reduce stiffness and aching
"Yoga and Pilates are a great place to start if you want something low-impact, especially if you are dealing with aches or you have been out of a routine for a while. Then, building in some form of strength work alongside that, even a couple of short sessions a week, can make a real difference to how your body feels."
