Margot has LA-based trainer Andie Hecker to thank for her strong and svelte beach body. ‘She used to be a ballerina, and she incorporates ballet techniques with a Pilates machine with weights,’ Margot tells. ‘We also mix in non-bulking cardio such as jump rope, rebounder and ballet jumps – which are surprisingly the most challenging form of cardio,’ Andie adds. And when she has some downtime, Margot loves to get involved in group activities. ‘If I have the time, I like dance classes; it doesn’t feel like exercise to me. Or just playing sports with friends,’ the actress shares. ‘Sometimes I play tennis, even though I’m not that good.’…
