The 30-year-old actress loves a variety of exercises, but none come close to her passion for boxing, her favorite total-body workout.
"Boxing, boxing, boxing! That's my favorite. It's just a workout where you have to be in the moment — you can't think about anything else," she told INSIDER. "I like the fact that my mind is really there and I'm in the moment, and I think it's just a great full body workout."
If these Instagram pics are any indication, she does get into the moment and the movements.
Mitchell has her own monogrammed boxing gloves.
