Jenna Ortega hit the celebrity list with a bang when she decided to shoot Wednesday Addams and become part of the hit TV show.

And now that she’s a young adult, she has maintained a slim and toned body that doesn't seem to fluctuate much. So, our team decided we’d spend a few days going through Jenna Ortega's social media posts and interviews to see if we could figure out her routine.

The great news is that she shares a lot online, and that has helped us put together this Jenna Ortega workout routine and diet plan.

Jenna Ortega’s Workout Routine

The Jenna Ortega workout routine combines a light strength training workout for toning with yoga and cardio.

Monday: Yoga

Yoga is a big favorite for Jenna, both from a fitness and mental health point of view. It’s something she does almost on a daily basis, even if it means just a few poses in the morning to stretch the body and activate the brain [1].

Tuesday: Full-Body Workout

This is a high-rep workout, as Jenna doesn’t want to pile on muscle mass through a strength training circuit routine:

  • Plie jump squats (3 sets of 15 reps)
  • Plank (3 sets of 90 seconds)
  • Lateral lunges (3 sets of 15 reps)
  • Ab crunches (3 sets of maximum reps)
  • Leg extensions (3 sets of 15 reps)
  • Lateral raises (3 sets of 15 reps)
  • Deadlifts (3 sets of 15 reps)
  • Chest press (3 sets of 15 reps) 

Wednesday: Yoga

It’s another day for an early morning yoga class. She has mentioned in a few interviews that the mind-body connection from yoga helps her get into the right frame of mind for a busy day of acting.

Thursday: Hiking and Running

Jenna loves being outdoors and takes every opportunity to be active. That means going for a run or on a long hike to enjoy nature away from the busy Hollywood scene.

Friday: Yoga and Stretching

Friday is another day for a yoga class, and the young actress also likes to spend some time stretching her body. This can also help relieve muscle aches and pains from her workouts [2].

Saturday/Sunday: Active Rest

Rest is probably not the right word to describe these days, as Jenna still does some yoga and gets out and about to stay active and recover.

What’s Her Diet Plan?

A healthy diet meal plan

The Jenna Ortega diet plan is all about eating healthy food to meet all her nutritional requirements for exercise and work. However, she takes a unique approach and still eats all her favorite foods, including the odd cheat meal and her favorite chocolate cake.

And she manages this by adjusting how much she exercises in a day so that she eats more than her allocated daily calories.

Here’s what a typical day looks like for Jenna Ortega:

  • Breakfast: Green protein smoothie and egg white omelet
  • Lunch: Grilled fish salad with a light dressing and a portion of fresh vegetables 
  • Dinner: Vegetable stir fry with salmon and brown rice

Does She Take Supplements?

It’s unclear whether Jenna Ortega takes supplements, as she hasn’t specifically mentioned any in interviews.

But my dietitian took a careful look at how she structures her diet and compared that to Jenna Ortega's workout. That led her to conclude that she probably takes two types of supplements.

First of all, on tough strength training days or when she’s particularly active, she’ll likely take a protein shake to help with muscle pain and recovery.

And considering that she has the occasional treat and isn’t overly strict with calories, she may take a natural fat-burning supplement as well. These aren’t magic pills to get you slim on the couch, but they can help burn off some extra calories.

FAQs

Is Jenna Ortega vegan or vegetarian?

Jenna Ortega is neither vegan nor vegetarian. She was vegan for a long time but switched to being a pescatarian while filming in Romania. The main reason was that she struggled to get the right nutrients from the local meal choices.

How Does Jenna Ortega Lose Weight?

Jenna Ortega loses weight by adapting how active she is every day, depending on what she eats. By keeping a detailed food journal, she can tell how many calories she’s eaten, and that allows her to work out if she needs to go for an extra run.
