‘Boy Meets World’ star Danielle Fishel sticks to one workout to look timeless

NEW YORK CITY – Danielle Fishel is sharing the secret behind looking and feeling her best.

The “Boy Meets World” star revealed that she’s more than just a regular cardio workout — and credits one fitness routine with helping her look and feel better than ever.

“Weightlifting,” Fishel — who famously played Topanga Lawrence on the popular 1990s series “Boy Meets World” — told Fox News Digital. “Actually I only lift weights now.”
