Danielle Fishel Credits Weightlifting For Ageless Look

Danielle Fishel, the actress who played Topanga Lawrence in the 1990s series ‘Boy Meets World’, has shared her secret to looking and feeling her best. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Fishel revealed that she has completely stopped doing traditional cardio workouts and now focuses on weightlifting.

A New Approach to Fitness

‘I basically exclusively weight lift now,’ Fishel said. ‘I don’t do cardio anymore. I will walk. I like to walk for 20 to 30 minutes after every meal, but I lift them weights, and it has made all the difference.’ Fishel’s fitness tip came during a reunion-filled appearance at the Tribeca Festival alongside former ‘Boy Meets World’ castmates Rider Strong and Will Friedle.

Strong, who played Cory’s best friend Shawn on the show, reflected on the years he spent growing up alongside Ben Savage, praising the actor’s talent and recalling the intense bond they shared while bringing the beloved sitcom to life. Friedle, on the other hand, opened up about the darker side of child stardom, admitting there were moments when walking away from Hollywood felt like a real possibility.

A Love for Entertainment

When asked what ultimately kept him in the business, Friedle’s answer was straightforward. ‘The love of needing to entertain,’ he said. Fishel’s decision to focus on weightlifting is part of a larger trend, with many people moving away from endless cardio sessions and toward lifting heavier weights to build muscle and support long-term health.
