Eliza Dushku and Dollhouse co-star Dichen Lachman reveal their best sport moves in the October 2009 issue of Self magazine. The actress, who grew up in Watertown, does a multi-page fitness feature with her costar Dichen Lachman. “I’m addicted to endorphins: good, clean, healthy and free… I really pump it up with a little competition” says Dushku.

Eliza’s Get Fit Tips:

“Weight training is especially important in addition to doing the exercises properly with correct alignment and a clean diet. It makes me burn more throughout my day and feel amazing.”

“I grew up playing outdoors, always running around playing sports with my brothers, signing up for any and all adventures that were around. Let the world be my playground!”
