Halle Berry blew Instagram away today, taking to Instagram for the #FitnessFriday she honors on a regular basis. The 53-year-old actress' fans now expect some kind of nod to the hashtag every week – Halle delivered on January 24.
Halle's photo showed her in the classy, understated way that's her trademark. The "Catwoman" actress had been photographed from behind amid white brick walls – Halle was contrasting them with her nude back to the camera. The only clothing donned was a slip linen garment in off-white, with Halle appearing to remove it a little. Hints of the star's left breast were visible, but a flesh-flashing affair is always classy with Halle Berry.

Halle took to the caption of her shadow-filled post to greet her followers and deliver an uplifting message.
"Happy #FitnessFriday! We all tend to focus on what we look like in our workout clothes, but how we feel in our skin is what truly matters. With so many of us sitting in front of a computer all day or looking down at our phones, developing good posture can be SO so important!" she began, adding:
"Tending to your spine and upper back can take a lot of pressure off of the lower back and hips, reducing any lower back pain you may be having! Check stories for some killer upper back exercises with weights, demonstrated by the one and only @peterleethomas. Enjoy! ♥️"

Halle's post racked up likes in lightning speed – over 23,000 has been clocked within just 20 minutes of the update going live. Fan comments poured in.
"Oh my damn!!!" one user wrote.
"Great shoulders," another said.
Meanwhile, others thanked the actress for having taken the time to share her thoughts.
"Halle you are such a inspiration to all of us with your great words actions and all your beauty," one fan wrote.
"No one can deny your beauty!! Thank you for doing #fitnessfriday it's been beneficial towards my health," another added.

Earlier this year, Halle challenged her fans to give another of her health practices a try – this one was all about the cold showers.
"Let’s leave the toxins of 2019 behind! A hot steam is one of my favorite things in the whole world, and it’s for a good reason. It purifies, relieves muscle soreness and respiratory issues, increases your circulation and calms anxiety," she wrote, adding:
"How about a polar bear plunge? A cold shower can be LIFE changing! Cold water tightens the skin and stimulates blood flow, accelerates metabolism, increases alertness and can treat depression. I love taking a hot steam and then taking a cold shower or bath right after."
Halle got 2020 off to a stunning start, taking to Instagram to mark the start of a new decade with a peaceful ocean-facing snap. The photo showed Halle gazing out to sea from behind floor-to-ceiling windows and wearing nothing but a curve-hugging lower layer.
If racy Instagram pictures are your jam, Halle isn't going to fit the bill. That said, if seeing this Oscar winner in empowering, tastefully-taken nude or topless pics will make your life a little better, then it's worth giving Halle's Instagram a follow.
Halle is set to feature in upcoming MMA movie "Bruised."
