Sydney Sweeney turned heads this weekend as she soaked up the sun in a swimsuit during a lakefront getaway in northern Idaho.
The 27-year-old actress was seen cozying up to a mystery man, sharing playful moments and stepping away from her group of friends and family to spend some alone time with him.
While some fans were left wondering who her potential new beau is, many have also been marveling at her sculpted physique.
Sweeney, who is set to star as former professional boxer Christy Martin in upcoming biopic titled Christy, proudly flaunted her figure that is the result of a disciplined workout routine and diet.
So how exactly did she achieve her toned look?
Sweeney has always had an active streak, and has credited much of her natural athleticism to her outdoorsy upbringing.
'I grew up on the water, always running around in a bikini,' she previously told Elle.
'If I wasn't swimming in the lake or the ocean, I was skiing or attempting to surf.'
Summers, she explained to Women's Health, have always played a transformative role in her physique.
'I see such a change in my body after an entire summer. My arms are stronger and more sculpted. My abs are rock solid.'
But her natural athleticism doesn't stop with seasonal activities.
The actress also has a background in mixed martial arts (MMA), a sport she took seriously enough to compete in - and win.
'I did competitions and I got first place fighting all guys,' she once revealed to Kelly Clarkson.
But lately, Sweeney's fitness game has reached a new level, thanks to intense preparation for Christy.
'I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman - a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring,' she shared in an Instagram post. 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope.'
In an interview with W magazine, she explained that while training for the role of Christy, her body became completely different.
'I loved it,' she said. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training. I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.'
Because of this intense routine, she went up four clothes sizes.
'My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, "Oh my God." But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong,' she said.
And when she isn't training to play the most successful female boxer of the 90s, she likes to stay fit through Pilates and other similar exercises.
'I like this place called SolidCore. It's a full-body high-intensity workout but on a reformer, and it's been killing my ass. I love it,' she told WSJ Magazine.
The star also emphasized the physical and emotional benefits of the practice, telling Women's Health, 'It just makes me feel so toned and strong, but also elongated, and I feel so good doing that.'
As for her diet? It's not as intense as you would expect.
'I love a good bowl of berries and some eggs and a bagel,' she said to Women's Health of her go-to breakfast.
She explained that she loves being on the water and noticed that during the summer, her body is at its most toned
Lunch is often 'something hearty,' which to her can either mean a chicken Caesar salad or even a cheeseburger.
Dinner usually depends on where she is, but one cuisine always stands out: 'I love Italian… Italian's usually my go-to for dinner,' she admitted.
Despite the demands of her career, Sweeney doesn't restrict herself too harshly.
'It's important to eat,' she explained. 'I definitely one day will probably start eating healthier, but I work out and I'm so active, so I'm able to balance that out. But I love food and it makes me happy.'
That love for food definitely includes sweets.
'I love my sugar. I love my candy. I love my cookies and ice cream,' she admitted.
'I'll randomly find some Sour Patch Kids or some peanut M&M's,' she said.
Interestingly, despite seemingly doing everything all at once, she's never turned to coffee for energy.
She also loves doing outdoor sports like skiing
'I've never even tried coffee,' she previously told Bustle.
Instead, she relies on sugar when she needs a pick-me-up, including Swedish Fish or 'anything gummy.'
And when it comes to drinks, she keeps it simple.
'I just identify as just a water person… I never really think about alcohol, to be honest.'
She explained that since her tween years, she's stayed on top of her hydration.
'Ever since I was 12 years old, I was like, "I'm just going to drink water." And I love it.'
She's also partnered with flavored water brand Bai to add a little variety.
