While you’re probably bummed that you already finished binge-watching season four of “Orange Is the New Black,” which dropped on Netflix last month, one of its lead actresses, Vicky Jeudy, is gearing up to start shooting season five (yay!). Fans of the show know Jeudy plays former track star Janae Watson, but may not know that the actress has to work to keep up that athletic frame during a grueling filming schedule.
Jeudy says she’s been into kickboxing and barre classes in the past, and still has a goal of getting into yoga and learning to surf, but for now the Haitian-American actress is focusing on prepping for a 5K she’ll run in the fall with J/P HRO (J/P Haitian Relief Organization).
Here’s exactly what Jeudy eats and does to stay trim when she’s crazy-busy.
