American Beauty Mena Suvari is passing on some words of wise to women in the weight room - Do not fear the dumbbells.
In an interview with Usmagazine.com at the Alice and Olivia fashion show, Mena credits weights for helping her maintain and perfect her physique.
"Women need to not be afraid of lifting weights because they help you be toned," Suvari said.
The 30-year-old actress and model teamed up with personal trainer Daniella Frita for her new movie, You May Not Kiss the Bride. Not only did Frita serve as Suvari's go-to-fitness guru, she also served as her stunt double for the flick's feature.
"I walked up to [Frita] one day and I said, 'Okay, just break it down for me. I want to know everything you are doing,'" she said. "Ever since then, she's been sending me workout plans and nutritional plans."
Suvari and Frita have been working together for nearly five months, Suvari adding that before Frita her workouts were "all wrong".
"I've been working out in so many different areas my whole life but I learned so much from her and it's so inspiring," she says. "I go to the gym and I see women who are a little misguided."
Working out "doesn't have to be...a chore," she told Usmagazine.com in her interview. "In this day and age, we all need to be inspired to be the best we can be and stay healthy."
