Just two weeks after turning 50—and 14 years after taking her place in the bikini-clad Bond Girl hall of fameHalle Berry posted a seaside snap on Instagram that offered the age-defying equivalent of a mic drop.

Showcasing her sculpted abs and hourglass curves in a crocheted two-piece, the actress sent us combing through her profile in search of the fitness routine responsible for supercharging her jackpot set of genes. Her secret? Good, old-fashioned core-strengthening planks—taken to the next level this summer with what can only be described as an athletic take on playing paddy cake with a trainer—are at least partially responsible. And while the rest of Berry’s exercise program remains a mystery, one thing is certain: Nothing beats a good workout buddy.
