Actress Mena Suvari has said that women shouldn’t be afraid of lifting weights.

The 30-year-old star has encouraged women to go into the weight room at the gym.

Mena said: “Women need to not be afraid of lifting weights because they help you be toned.”

Mena has improved her workout with new trainer Daniella Frita, whom she met while filming for her new movie You May Not Kiss the Bride.

She said: “I walked up to her one day and I said, ‘Okay, just break it down for me. I want to know everything you are doing.’

“Ever since then, she’s been sending me workout plans and nutritional plans and I’ve been working with her for about four-and-a-half months.”

The American Pie actress added: “I’ve been working out in so many different areas my whole life but I learned so much from her and it’s so inspiring.

“I go to the gym and I see women who are a little misguided.”

Suvari also thinks that working out doesn’t have to be chore.

She said: “In this day and age, we all need to be inspired to be the best we can be and stay healthy.”
