Nina Dobrev has always been passionate about health and fitness, but under the Hollywood spotlight, she tries even harder to show her young fans that trying your best is the way to do it.

The Vampire Diaries star is teaming up with Reebok and Les Mills for an organic partnership focused on connectivity and positivity, and shes eager to promote a lifestyle thats all about bettering yourself.

I dont know if its my DNA, but I need to do something active every single day. I need to take some time for just me and remove myself from the daily stresses and pressures that are going on around me, Dobrev told HuffPost. When youre in a workout, you dont have your cellphone, youre not reachable, nobody can contact you and its good not only for your physical state but your mental state, as well. So I make it a very high priority.

Dobrev has been very busy as of late, being a bridesmaid , starring in blockbusters , wrapping up a beloved TV show and filming upcoming projects , but the 28-year-old is dedicated to sticking to a routine. Lets face it, though, cheat days are a part of the gig.

Like anyone, it comes in ebbs and flows and you have good days and bad days, she said. Im a person just like anybody else. Im a girl and I have insecurities of my own. So I think being a positive example by practicing what I preach hopefully sends out a good message. Its about showing people its not always easy, she added. When youre running around you might be less healthy or have a cheat day, but thats OK because were all human. We have to take care of ourselves to the best of our ability and be realistic with our goals ... Nobodys perfect. I have cheat days, I eat burgers! I like brownies! Its just once I get to the gym I have to work twice as hard is all.
