Issa previously shared with Women’s Health that she started prioritizing fitness when she launched HBO’s Insecure (which she created and starred in). “Time to work out is so limited, but when I first started seeing myself on TV, I was like, ‘I gotta make time,’” she said. But Issa said it wasn’t easy at first.

“I was a big excuse person when it came to exercising and eating right,” she said. “I’d have spurts of trying to work out and being good. Then once I fell off, I’d be like, ‘Well, there’s always next year. Let me make it my New Year’s resolution.’ But even then, I would still be eating wrong while exercising vigorously.”

So, Issa found an exercise plan that works for her—that means waking up at 4:55 a.m. and working out outside. “I exercise for, like, an hour each day,” she said. “My neighborhood has a bunch of hills, so it’s walking up hills. Then I alternate between walking and jogging. I hate jogging—you’re going in circles, but I recognize that it helps.”

As for that early morning start? She digs it. “Waking up super early just makes me feel better,” she previously told SELF.

Issa also told WH that she likes the mental health boost she gets from exercise. “You know those earbuds that you put in your ears? I was running, and one fell. It was dark outside and I couldn’t find it. So I was forced to just be alone with my thoughts, and I was like, ‘Oh, I need to do this more often,’” she said. “Those moments are the most creative. I think finding those moments while also nurturing your body is important.”

On the food front, Issa told WH that she was a vegetarian for 15 years but is now more “paleo-leaning.”

Keep doing you, Issa!
