Lioness star Jill Wagner's sensational bikini photos highlight seriously toned physique

Jill Wagner is proving her real-life dedication to fitness easily rivals that of her on-screen character in Lioness. 

The star — who plays Quick Reaction Force leader, Bobby on the Taylor Sheridan show — recently swapped her heavy tactical gear for a sun-soaked getaway and shared some impressive bikini snaps. 

Fans were left stunned by the 47-year-old's rock-hard abs and sculpted physique as she threw her head back and posed in a two piece during her trip to Turks and Caicos. 

Jill Wagner's intense workout routine and weight gain

It's not easy to get a body like Jill's, and she's worked hard for it. Jill achieved her combat-ready body through serious physical dedication and she's been open about the grueling preparation required.

She trained for two years with three different trainers to learn the importance of weight training, after years of focusing on cardio.

"My goal was that Bobby looked like an operator," Jill explained in a video on TikTok. "That means I needed to put on more weight in muscle. My natural body does not like being at that weight. It's very hard for me to maintain that."

But she's aware that if she doesn't maintain, it'll be more difficult to build the strength again. 

"I always like to keep in mind that there is a possibility that Bobby lives on," she said of her character's future on the show. "So I want to be able to jump back into her body without having to start from ground zero. This is all part of being an actress and taking my job seriously."

Even Jill's warm-up sounds like tough work! "I always start my workouts with a warm-up of three sets of five pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 squats," she said.

"After every workout, I usually try to get on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes. I always do my cardio after my workout," she added. "I'm 47 years old, and I’m probably in the best shape of my life."

She's earned legions more fans from her role on Lioness, but Jill had a successful career before the show. The actress served as co-host of ABC's smash-hit competition series Wipeout  from 2008-2014.

Sci-fi fans would also know her for playing fierce werewolf hunter Kate Argent in Teen Wolf.

Jill is also a Hallmark Channel queen, having starred in numerous romantic movies, from Christmas in Evergreen to Autumn Dreams.
