Michelle Pfeiffer is no stranger to keeping in shape due to her decades in the spotlight, but she's still not a fan of working out.
The 66-year-old shared a post-workout video on Instagram from inside her home gym after she appeared to put herself through a gruelling session.
While there's no denying she looked incredible despite her exhaustion, Michelle admitted she had to force herself to put in the work.
Sharing a very relatable confession, Michelle revealed that even after all her years of keeping fit, working out is still not enjoyable for her.

Her followers were sympathetic to her plight, with many sharing words of encouragement as they related to her statement.

A second said: "It's keeping you young!! Keep it up! PS… I also hate it." A third added: "Your working out shows good results, I wish I was as disciplined as you."
Aging gracefully
Michelle has been open about her approach to aging and previously admitted she has come to embrace getting older.

"Would I like to look the way I did in my early 30s? You bet, but that's not going to happen, and I don't feel the same pressure I once did to do so. It's quite a relief, honestly,"
The actress also noticed a difference in her appearance after she adopted a vegan diet.

"I really noticed a difference in my skin not too long after switching to fully vegan. And I needed to eat fruits and vegetables to stay lean."
Michelle added: "The older I've gotten, the more it's occurred to me that I'm doing it in order to live longer, though the vanity component will always be there."
Advice

"Attractiveness has more to do with the way you feel about yourself. And the swagger that can come with that."
