NCIS has been on our screens since 2003, and features some of the most well-known actors and entertainers in the industry. From LL Cool J to Lauren Holly, these stars work hard to stay camera-ready on a show that’s been running for 20 years. So how do they do it? Through discipline and healthy habits—not to mention happiness and plenty of fun. Here’s how 20 cast members of NCIS take care of their health and wellness.1
Lauren Holly, 59, played Jenny Shepard. The actress swears by Bikram yoga to stay fit and happy. “I practice Bikram yoga, which is a certain kind of yoga and it’s in a very hot room,” she says. “I love it—it’s like my own personal form of meditation because I can’t think of anything (besides the heat) through the whole class. I haven’t been practicing since COVID, and I miss it so much. It really gave my brain a rest and my skin a glow.” 4
Pauley Perrette, 54, played Abby Sciuto. The actress prefers working out at home over going to a gym. “Learn the simple art of using your own body weight to work out,” she says. “There’s no need to go to a gym. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, wall presses, running up and down stairs. Everything you need to get in shape, you have.”3Lauren Holly
