Jessica Alba is #LifeGoals in every way: She's built a $1.7 billion empire, has had two kids, and always manages to look hot AF. (How??!!)

A quick scroll through her Instagram suggests she doesn't just wake up like that. The star actually puts a ton of effort into her physique.

Typically, Jessica alternates between indoor cycling and a hot yoga-inspired full body workout called YogaSculpt, according to Cornelius Jones Jr., who teaches the YogaSculpt class Jessica frequents. But she often mixes it up. 

Here's the full list of places she's been seen getting her sweat on:

1. YogaSculpt

Jessica takes two to three of these YogaSculpt classes a week at Hot 8 Yoga​​, according to Jones. "She loves YogaSculpt because it gives her the best of both worlds: hardcore physical workout, and the balance and stretch of traditional yoga," he explains, adding that Jessica is a big fan of his soundtracks, which include hip-hop, pop, R&B, and house. The class involves vinyasa-style yoga with free weights in a class room that's heated up to 107 degrees. The actress-turned-entrepreneur hits up the studio's early morning classes, which are held at 7:30 and 8 a.m., and then she basically works her ass off. 

2. SoulCycle
