Anna Kendrick has some fighting words for the return of a controversial early-2000s fashion trend.

I want to tell this generation: Never look back. Please don’t return to the dark age of low-rise jeans,” the 34-year-old actress recently told Shape. “That was a hateful time, and we don’t need to go there again.

In fact, Anna Kendrick says she’d take leggings over denim any day. “I love the fact that athletic wear is acceptable as a real outfit, and not as just an I’m-running-to-7-Eleven outfit,” she continued. “I can go into the world in a stretch top and sweatpants, and it’s fashion. I live for that.

The “Pitch Perfect” star also touched on her inability to stick with a consistent health and fitness regimen.

I’ve tried a couple of meditation classes, and so far I feel like I’m doing it wrong,” Kendrick said. “My mind races more when I meditate. And I was vegan for a year, or maybe even two, and it was the best I’ve ever felt. Then I just fell off the wagon super hard. I was like, Well, maybe I can just do vegan most days. But no. It was the classic slippery-slope situation for Anna.

She added, “Every time I try something new, I’m like, I found it! I found the only workout I’ll ever need! Then I get so obsessed with it that I burn out and have to start over with something new.

Kendrick says she’s gone through phases of doing yoga, pilates, barre classes and running, but she has a new workout routine that helps her both physically and mentally.

Right now I’m in a hiking phase. I live in a funky hilly area of LA, and I realized I had to commit to going on a hike because I get my best ideas then,” she said. “Actually, it’s more like mental clarity. Sometimes I’m in my head too much, and I overanalyze things. When I’m walking, I can work through whatever it is.
