Kerry Washington can do it all!

The Scandal actress, 49, made the case for extreme multitasking in a silly Instagram post, in which she brought her work materials to the Pilates studio. Flipping through a binder in one hand and gripping her laptop in the other, Washington simultaneously got down to business for leg day.

"Life is all about balance," Washington captioned her post. "Grateful for Pilates 🙏🏾😜."

The actress wore a hot pink workout set and tied her hair up in a bun as she used the sliding reformer to get her leg workout in.

Washington's Pilates instructor, Erika Bloom, helped the actress turn the pages of her binder — which, by the looks of the vibrant cover, appeared to contain her lines for The Whoopi Monologues. The adaptation of the Broadway play begins previews on July 7 ahead of its July 13 opening night.

Originated by Whoopi Goldberg in 1984, The Whoopi Monologues was originally a one-woman show. In the 2026 adaptation, Washington stars alongside Kara Young, Dominique Fishback, Kecia Lewis and Danielle Pinnock in the play, directed by Whitney White.

In 2020, Washington's trainer in Los Angeles, Juliet Kaska, told PEOPLE that the actress works out "at least five days a week" as a way to care for both her physical and mental health amid her busy schedule. At the time, the actress's exercise and wellness regimen included a combination of Pilates, cross-training and meditation, Kaska said.

“She's very dedicated to her workouts,” Kaska said at the time. “Kerry has trainers in every city, so she tries to get it in multiple times a week.”

“Pilates is so associated with breath work, and it's a mind-body workout, similar to yoga," Kaska added. "It combines all these things at once. Like any of us, our days are full and crazy and hectic, and hers are even more so now with a child on board, so she's looking for something that's going to cover all the gamuts.”
