According to reports, Oscar winner and iconic actress Halle Berry is taking a moment to step behind the camera to create her feature directorial debut Bruised. She’ll also play the lead in the Michelle Rosenfarb–written drama about a woman named Jackie, aka Justice, a disgraced, failed MMA fighter. When her son, whom she abandoned years earlier, returns into her life, Jackie must face off against one of the toughest MMA stars in the world and rise to the challenge of motherhood.

It’s #FitnessFriday and today it’s all about having fun! We all agree that we don’t always love to work out. However, one thing that makes it bearable for me is my ability to laugh and play and have fun while I’m doing it. Truth is, sometimes I have to laugh to keep from crying, especially during my John Wick training which is no joke! If you can find ways to incorporate play into your workout, it will be something that you actually look forward to doing every day. Today in my Stories and Fitness Highlight I offer you a few fun exercises that you can do with things around your house…like paper plates and sticks! Go ahead, laugh, it’s funny. Enjoy and have a fun weekend 😂❤️💪🏽 #FitnessFridayHB

To help her pull off what sounds like some epic fight scenes, Berry is enlisting the team who choreographs for the John Wick franchise. Fortunately the actress will already be on her A game when it comes to fitness—she’s currently doing John Wick 3: Parabellum opposite Keanu Reeves.
