Sadly for me, Jennifer Garner and I have little in common (save for a shared love of these award-winning exfoliating pads): she’s an A-list actress, “Pretend Cooking Show” host, friendly farmer and self-proclaimed birder. Thanks to her avid posting on Instagram, I’ve always known she's a fitness freak—you don’t look that good without some hard work and dedication––but it wasn’t until I saw her most recent reel that I realized our similarities extend past the vanity and into the gym (I'm talking about the Brooks Glycerin 20 sneakers—were $160, now $100; more on these in a minute).
In honor of her reprising the role of the sai-wielding assassin Elektra in Marvel’s newest blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, Garner posted a video of her high-intensity workout routine to commemorate her “superhero summer.” When reflecting on her return to the franchise, Garner shares, “I remember the moment @slevydirect and @vancityreynolds had the idea for Elektra Natchios to show up in @deadpoolmovie 3—we were on the set of The Adam Project and they gave each other this look they have that can communicate an idea, 20 pages of dialogue, nuclear codes—there is a crazy artistic kismet between those two.”
