The actress’s post quickly racked up more than 243,000 likes as fans continued flooding the comments with heart-eye emojis, fire reactions, and compliments about her toned figure.

Jessica Alba Once Admitted She Thinks ‘Working Out Sucks’
While Alba’s latest bikini photos have fans praising her toned physique, the actress has previously admitted that staying in shape isn’t always glamorous behind the scenes. Speaking with Shape for the magazine’s June 2020 cover story, Alba revealed that although she values fitness, she doesn’t necessarily enjoy the process of working out. “I have to break a sweat, or I don’t feel like I’ve gotten anything done,” she shared.
The actress explained that when she only has a short amount of time to exercise, she squeezes in quick but intense routines featuring burpees, mountain climbers, squat jumps, planks, and yoga-inspired sun salutations. Still, Alba kept it refreshingly honest about how she actually feels during the process. “But I’m not going to lie,” she admitted. “Working out sucks.”
Despite her humorous take, Alba said finishing a workout leaves her with a major sense of accomplishment, something that has helped her stay consistent with her wellness-focused lifestyle over the years.
Alba Credits ‘Dark Angel’ For Her Athletic Physique
Alba has also previously revealed that many of her fitness habits and athletic build trace back to her early action-star days in Hollywood. Speaking with Shape, the actress credited her time filming the sci-fi series “Dark Angel” for helping shape her long-term approach to fitness and strength training.
“I attribute my athletic body to the martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and strength training I did while filming ‘Dark Angel,’” Alba shared. “That’s made me strong and really set the bar.” The physically demanding role required intense training, and according to Alba, the experience ultimately helped her build the confidence and discipline that still influences her workouts today.
Jessica Alba Once Said Motherhood Helped Her Stop Caring About Outside Opinions
Back in 2019, Alba reflected on just how much her confidence and mindset had evolved since her early Hollywood years. In an essay published by InStyle, the actress admitted she felt deeply insecure during her first cover shoot with the magazine back in 2007, explaining that she spent years trying to fit into other people’s expectations.
“Looking back, when I shot my first InStyle cover, I was insecure,” Alba wrote. “I felt like I needed to be someone I wasn’t in order to be accepted. I allowed other people’s ideas of who they thought I should be to define me.”
By 2019, however, Alba made it clear she had completely shifted her perspective, especially after becoming a mother. “Who am I now? I give zero f-cks,” she declared. “I have three children. They’ve exploded my body, and I’m cool with it. And I know I’m smart. I don’t care what everybody else thinks. I’m good, girl. I’m good.”
The unapologetic comments quickly resonated with fans at the time, many praising Alba for embracing confidence and self-acceptance instead of chasing unrealistic beauty standards.
