Chloe Grace Moretz relies on exercise for mental clarity

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz says she relies on exercise to keep her mind, body and soul in check. The 24-year-old actress admitted there was a time when she lost sight of how important regular exercise is.

"A few years ago, I lost sight of how important exercising is to me. I forgot how it provides mental clarity and dexterity and keeps me grounded and strong. Now I`ve really gotten back into it full time. Working the mind, body, and soul -- that`s super important," Moretz said in an interview to Shape magazine, reports contactmusic.com.

She added: "Before the pandemic, I was exercising with my trainer Jason Walsh, who focuses on primal movements, like bear crawls and baby rolls where you`re rolling from your abdomen to your back. When I started, these basic moves immediately helped different pains leave my body. Five days a week, I was seeing either Jason in L.A. or another amazing trainer, Daniel Lavipour, in London. Then on the weekends, I was taking restorative yoga classes. I was constantly with them, either in person or over FaceTime. There`s something wonderful about that companionship."

The actress has since decided to exercise on her own without a trainer.

"But in quarantine, I`ve paused the trainer workouts. For the first time, I`ve realised I have the ability to continue regular exercise on my own, although it may not be as intense. Some days, all I can muster is getting up and stretching. It`s enough to say, `I thought about working out, but now I`m sitting here and at least I`m having 20 minutes of quiet.` I`m using that designated workout time to unravel my emotions," she said.
