How Abigail Spencer Sneaks Her Fitness Tracker Under Her Costumes — Plus, What She Eats in a Day
For Timeless star Abigail Spencer, being on set is no excuse for neglecting her fitness goals.
The 35-year-old says her costumes for the show are custom-made to allow her to stay on track.
“I wear my Fitbit and try to hit my steps,” Spencer tells PEOPLE. “They even put pockets in all my costumes for it! I’m committed to hitting my step count.”
The actress, who does Pilates twice a week, also believes in staying hydrated.
“I’m always trying to get in water. It is the life source,” she says. “It’s extremely easy to dehydrate working 14 hours a day and on my feet all the time.”
She also knows how to treat herself after a particularly long day.
“I have ice cream every week. Maybe twice,” she says. “I live for ice cream, but not just any ice cream. It has to be locally sourced and usually somewhere I can walk to.”

The Verdict:
“Abigail starts her day with a generous dose of protein, heart-healthy fats and fiber—a satiating and heart-nourishing combination to power through the day,” says Atlanta-based dietitian Marisa Moore, who also praises her water intake. And for dinner, “broccoli, which has cancer-fighting properties in addition to vitamin C and fiber, is a smart pick and creates a well-balanced meal with the pasta.”
