Pretty Lethal Star Shares Her Ideal Reset Day of Gaming and Eating

Actor Lana Condor utilizes a combination of physical therapy, mindful movement, and structured leisure to manage the mental and physical demands of her professional roles.

In a discussion with Women’s Health, Condor detailed the specific recovery tools she employed to handle the stressors associated with her recent film projects, including the 2025 war film Valiant One and the 2026 production Pretty Lethal.

For the production of Valiant One, Condor experienced difficulty separating her professional work from her personal life, noting that the role became very real for her.

She described instances where environmental triggers, such as the sound of an engine, caused her to feel distressed while driving home.

To combat these effects, she turned to hot yoga, which she found helpful because placing her body in an extreme physical state helped her feel as though she was no longer in a war environment.

Condor shared her experience with the mental toll of the production:

Valiant One, the war film, was the first movie that I had done where it became very difficult for me to keep the work at work and not bring it home with me, because it became very real for me

While the focus for Valiant One was mental compartmentalization, the 2026 film Pretty Lethal required a more intensive approach to physical maintenance.

The production for Pretty Lethal provided on-set access to bodywork practitioners to help the cast manage aches, and pains.

Condor utilized these resources between takes, specifically receiving adjustments from chiropractors and sports physical therapists.

She also incorporated acupressure appointments into her on-set routine to maintain her physical health while putting her body through the demands of the role.

Outside of specific film productions, Condor maintains a consistent, low-impact wellness routine to support her general health.

Her regular exercise habits include:

• Yoga sessions
• Pilates sessions
• Walking

Beyond physical exercise, Condor emphasizes the importance of a dedicated reset day to fully recover from the pressures of her career.

Her ideal reset day begins with a slow start, including breakfast in bed and matcha prepared by her husband, Anthony De La Torre.

The morning is spent outdoors getting sunshine and walking her dogs, followed by journaling and light yoga.

The latter part of the day is dedicated to complete relaxation and mental decompression.

Condor spends the remainder of her reset day on the couch with snacks, playing on her Nintendo and watching the show Love Island.

Describing this approach to self-care, Condor stated, I’m gaming and I’m eating.
