Dena Kaplan is a South African-born Australian actress, singer, and dancer. She was born on January 20, 1989 in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the year 2005, she started to appear on screen when she was cast on the TV series “Scooter: Secret Agent” in one of its episodes, playing a minor role. She later on became prominent when she was cast on Dance Academy, playing the main role Abigail Armstrong from 2010 to 2013.
What’s her exercise routine like? In one of her interviews, Dena said, “I have to work pretty hard to stay in shape. I am not naturally or genetically blessed! I always train hard because I love fitness, although I do often have injuries that come from being so flexible. Leading up to camp I knew I was playing an athlete who was a Olympic hopeful so it was more about looking the role than the fact that I was in a bikini. I did a lot of research into college swimmers and knew they trained hard and all had very fit, toned, physiques. I wanted to look as authentic as possible. I did more cardio and more weights.”
When it comes to diet, she said, “I kept a strict diet of fish, grains, vegetables, nuts and salad for about a month. Then after that I just tried to maintain a healthy eating plan with a lot of protein, good fats and lots of veggies! It was difficult to maintain the plan during filming as we had no time to workout or plan meals, but I did the best I could! I did work hard though, as I wanted Sarah to look like a real swimmer, instead of an actress playing a swimmer.”
