Trainer Megan Roup wants her clients to be a perfect 10. As in, give her less than a dozen solid minutes of exercise each day.
“My philosophy is more about committing to less so that you can show up more,” The Sculpt Society founder explained in an exclusive interview with E! News at New York City’s lululemon GlowUp Studio. Which means she would rather her clients—including Dakota Johnson, Sabrina Carpenter and Elsa Hosk—”do 10 minutes a day consistently throughout the week than maybe two workouts that are long, grueling and hard.”
That way, continued the Los Angeles-based mom to daughter Harlow, 3, and Mercer, 18 months (with husband Morgan Humphrey), “you build the habit. It doesn’t feel like you’re trapped in this never-ending cycle of you need to do hours a day. You’re going to get beautiful physical and mental results, and you’re just building it in that muscle of brushing your teeth every day.”
She, too, once fought tooth and nail for her fitness levels. And what she learned, continued the former Brooklyn Nets dancer, is there’s no need to be “trapped in this never-ending cycle that needs to be so grueling.”
As an over-committed working mom of two, “sometimes I don’t have 20 minutes. So if I can just do a five or 10-minute video in the morning and then feel grounded in my body, I mentally feel more resilient, I go into my days in such a better place. And that is the beauty and power I think in fitness.”

And if you’re intrigued enough to press play on a new fitness routine, you’re hardly alone.
Since launching her sculpting and dance cardio-based workouts, the NYU Tisch School of Arts grad has developed a following that includes Shay Mitchell, Miranda Kerr and basically every model that’s walked a Victoria’s Secret runway
