Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, who recently married Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, has shared valuable fitness advice from her father, Peter Steinfeld, a personal trainer. This guidance perfectly complements the couple’s shared commitment to their recovery routine, which includes daily infrared sauna sessions. Steinfeld and Allen tied the knot on May 31, 2025, in California.
The Philosophy of Peter Steinfeld: Balance and Listening to Your Body
Peter Steinfeld, a seasoned personal trainer, emphasizes a balanced and intuitive approach to fitness. In a recent edition of Hailee’s newsletter, “Beau Society,” Peter discussed the importance of health, fitness, and diet. He advised that it’s okay to skip the gym if you don’t feel like going, suggesting alternatives like going outside for a walk or jog, even if it’s just for five or ten minutes. He also noted that simple exercises like squats or push-ups can be done at home and can significantly improve how you feel. This philosophy encourages focusing on how your body feels and adjusting accordingly to get the most out of each day.
Understanding and Managing Soreness
A key topic discussed between Hailee and her father was muscle soreness after exercise. Peter Steinfeld explained that some soreness can be expected when muscles that have been dormant begin to move again. However, he stressed that persistent deep-muscle soreness after every workout is a sign of an underlying issue, indicating either overtraining, undereating, under-hydration, or incorrect movement execution. He noted that while a little soreness is acceptable when changing routines or adding new movements, consistent deep soreness suggests a deficiency somewhere in the routine or recovery.
Hailee Steinfeld’s Personal Approach to Fitness
Hailee Steinfeld herself has revealed that her motivation for working out extends beyond just staying fit; she primarily engages in physical activity for her mental health. She stated that working out is “the only time of day that I can check out entirely.” She also highlighted a significant shift in her mindset regarding body image and diet, moving away from guilt associated with indulging in snacks. Her father’s quote, “You can’t change your body overnight, and you can’t mess it up overnight either,” has been instrumental in shaping her balanced and self-compassionate outlook. When at home, she typically trains with her father five days a week, but he has taught her how to effectively work out even when she doesn’t have access to a gym.
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s Shared Recovery Routine
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently shared details about his and Hailee Steinfeld’s joint recovery efforts. The couple has incorporated an infrared sauna with red light therapy into their daily routine, which Allen stated they use almost daily. This shared activity is a testament to their combined dedication to maintaining peak physical condition.
Allen’s Comprehensive Wellness Plan
Beyond the sauna, Josh Allen maintains a comprehensive wellness plan that includes prioritizing sleep, adhering to a clean diet, and engaging in regular workouts tailored to his body type and performance needs on the field. He aims for 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep per night, utilizing tips from sleep experts to ensure his bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet, sometimes with the addition of green noise. His diet focuses on clean eating with plenty of protein, including steak, chicken, and fish, and he has reduced butter and dairy. Allen trains four days a week, alternating between upper-body and lower-body workouts, and sometimes incorporating full-body training. He also finds swimming to be an excellent way to stay in shape without stressing his joints. This holistic approach, now complemented by his wife’s fitness philosophy, underscores their commitment to well-being.
