The Widow actress often posts videos of herself working out at the gym. But on October 6, 2019, she showed the rest of the world that they’re not getting all they can out of the stability ball! While most people use it to tone their abs or work on their upper body, Beckinsale does both with one simple (but challenging!) move. Starting in plank position with her feet on the ball, she rolls it inwards while lifting her butt in the air, then rolls it back and goes into a push-up.
