Margot Robbie has been turning heads on the red carpet while promoting her latest film, Wuthering Heights, and her stunning post-baby figure has caught everyone’s attention. The 35-year-old actress welcomed her first child, a son, in October 2024 with her husband Tom Ackerley, but she’s already back in incredible shape.

According to her personal trainer David Higgins, Margot’s transformation comes from a mix of strength training and reformer Pilates. Speaking to Women’s Health, he explained that she starts each session with five minutes on a foam roller, followed by 15 reps of exercises like chest presses, bent-over rows, bicep curls, shoulder presses, and skull crushers. Each move is usually done for about two minutes.

“I stick to durations over reps when using a reformer machine,” Higgins said. Margot often chooses between strength work and Pilates depending on how her body feels that day. She also skips traditional cardio. “By doing a full-body workout, your heart has to work hard to redirect the blood to the correct part of your body as and when you work it – from your upper-body to your lower-,” Higgins added, calling strength training her “secret cardio.”

Her core is a major focus. One routine involves skull crushers on a bench while holding her legs at a 90-degree tabletop position. She also completes a 100-rep ab challenge five times per session, including crunches and toe taps, totaling 500 reps. Margot can reportedly hold a plank for over four minutes. Consistency is key, with workouts lasting 45-60 minutes, five days a week, during her movie prep schedules.

Margot has shared that she enjoys indulging in food but cleans up her diet when preparing for a role. For breakfast, she often has porridge with blackberries or a green smoothie with kale and apple.

Lunch might be lemon chicken with brown rice or a mackerel salad, while dinner could be tuna steaks with sweet potato or a vegetable hot pot. She avoids fast food, sugary drinks, chocolate, and saturated fats before premieres. “I love beer, fries, burgers, but if I have to get into a bikini then I’ll eat carrot sticks for three days. I’m one extreme or the other,” she said in a previous interview with Emirates Woman.

Margot has emphasized that her goal is strength, not just being thin. For her 2016 film The Legend of Tarzan, she skipped some workouts to enjoy London pubs, explaining that she didn’t want to slim down unnecessarily. “It’s the 19th century – if she’s got a bit of weight on her, it’s probably a good thing. I’m not going to look thin just for the sake of it,” she said.

Her trainer’s insight and her dedication show that Margot’s enviable figure comes from hard work, smart training, and listening to her body rather than quick fixes. She balances strength, flexibility, and nutrition to maintain both her health and her striking red carpet presence.

It’s clear Margot Robbie’s post-baby transformation isn’t magic, it’s methodical and consistent. Do you think her workout plan is something you could follow to get strong and toned? Share your thoughts in the comments.
