Before intense, butt-kicking roles, Rodriguez trains with stuntmen and LA fitness guru Tracy Anderson. “I did two months with the stunt guys and I took some Tracy Anderson toning [classes] so I can get my insides ready to take a punch,” she told the Huffington Post. “Tracy really good at getting your core ready.”

“The outside is genetic. I could literally live like a bum and I will still have my tone for some strange reason.”

After whirlwind red carpets, Rodriguez needs to exercise her soul. She told Interview, “I enjoy vanity like the best of them. But I can’t stick to any of that lifestyle for too long because, when its true colors come out, it’s empty and cold and soulless. So I have to travel and go find some real people. After Cannes every year, I end up going to some foreign country I’ve never been to before and introducing myself to a new religion—I’ll go to Bali and research Hinduism, or I’ll go to Thailand and get another tattoo from [Thai tattoo artist] Ajarn Noo [Kanpai].”

Ain’t no easy task to get to the top. Rodriguez works hard to get there. “You know, if you don’t prepare and you don’t train and you don’t put your mind into what you’re doing, then you should get out of the business. Then it’s not worth it.”
