Weekly Routine
Parkour Powerhouse
Lotz digs doing parkour, which is where you tackle obstacles in an urban setting by jumping, climbing, etc. She does many of her own stunts in her acting roles.
Tricks Up Her Sleeve
Lotz is also into Tricking, which combines the flips and twists of gymnastics with dance moves. She has studied with Steve Terada and Wayne Dalglish.
Martial Arts Master
Lotz has done several styles of martial arts including Muay Thai and Krav Maga, but her latest love is Filipino martial arts which she says is more mental and has intricate choreography which helps her focus.
It’s All Connected
Lotz says recovery is just as important as exercise, and that tightness is one spot may cause soreness in another. She regularly uses a foam roller, or a DIY version with a couple of lacrosse balls in a sleeve.
Skills Practice
Lotz prefers activities such as martial arts or yoga that build skills rather than the standard gym workout.
There’s an App for That
When she does head to the gym, Lotz likes the fitness app Aaptiv which is audio-only and helps her decide what to do for her workout, instead of being overwhelmed by choice.
Pilates for Recovery
Lotz says her dad got her into Pilates. She calls it ‘rehab’ because it helps her correctly align her muscles and get a great stretch.
