Halle Berry, 54, showcases her upper body strength as she does sit-ups while on a punching bag

She’s as synonymous with her incredible physique as she is for her acting skills.

And Halle Berry showed just how she maintains her age-defying figure as she expertly did a series of sit-ups while hanging upside down from a punching bag.

In pictures shared to her Instagram on Friday, the 54-year-old actress appeared on fine form as she worked on her core strength amid the gruelling workout.

Halle appeared in full concentration mode as she hung from the bag using just her intertwined ankles.

Showing of her slender figure in a black sports vest and matching leggings, the star appeared to haul herself up and done as she took her training up a notch.

The sizzling snaps garnered much response from her fans and celebrity fans, with Empire actress Taraji P. Henson commenting: ‘Whoo Chile, I gotta work harder.’

While Kerry Washington remarked: ‘OK this is just beyond impressive. How did you get your feet up there?! How do you get down? I have so many questions.’   

Halle is a huge fitness fanatic and often showcases her gruelling workouts with regular posts on Instagram.

The Catwoman star displays her physically ability as she works up a sweat with trainer Peter Lee Thomas.

It comes after she told People last month of her COVID fitness routine: ‘I’ve made it my mission to find time in the day to exercise, get work done and be a mom.

‘I think during COVID, it’s been easy to forget the time in our day to be active because we just can’t do the things that we used to do and it’s hard to find ways to do that at home.’

She said of practicing wellness: ‘I have to work at it every day. I have to think about what I put in my body via food, how I exercise and all the ways I can work hard that will allow me to be here through as many phases of the lives of my children as I can.’ 

Meanwhile, the screen siren has previously told how boxing is her favoured method of staying fit and what she opts for in the gym. 

She previously said: ‘Boxing is still considered one of the best full-body workouts. You’ll sculpt every muscle and burn major calories and fat… 

‘It dramatically decreases stress levels, develops hand-eye coordination, and builds confidence and discipline. But most importantly… you’ll never stop learning. 

‘I’ve been boxing for the past 10 years and regularly for the past three and I love that I always learn a new way to challenge myself and work new muscles.’
