Jurnee Smollett-Bell follows a diverse workout routine that ranges from yoga to plyometrics. She also loves to take dance classes whenever she feels like it. She also doesn’t need much in order to keep up with her fitness regimen. “If I have a jump rope and a resistance band, I can work out anywhere,” said the actress. “Even without a jump rope. If you do 200 jumping jacks, then drop and do some crunches, and then do some squats, you’re good.”
