Tichina Arnold, who is known and loved for her role as the loud and bossy “Pam” on the hit Television show Martin and as Rochelle on award-winning comedy series, Everybody Hates Chris, and another hit show, Survivor’s Remorse, on Starz has been working in Hollywood for over 35 years. She’s mainly played the loveable, quit-witted side kick or person that speaks their mind. Either way, one thing has remained consistent about Arnold, her fit and tight body.
Always one to be slim and trim with curves in all the right places, Pam’s body has been the subject of many blogs, vlogs and meme’s. Especially since she posted her thong bikini selfie on instagram (see below).
So what’s her secret to looking this good at 53? She’s always maintained her curvaceous figure with a combination of food and exercise.
“I love to cook and eat and meals have always been a family event, but as I get older — I just celebrated another birthday — I am traveling more and I’ve had to adjust the types of foods I eat, but certainly not the taste,” Arnold told tells PEOPLE.

Although she has a hectic work schedule and is a single mom to daughter Alijah, Arnold says she doesn’t plan out her meals.
“Sometimes I’m traveling for work and gone for weeks,” she says. “I normally pick up my snacks for travel a few days ahead of time. But, when I’m home with my daughter, it’s kitchen time. We love cooking. It’s a family thing. Alijah and I have so much fun in the kitchen together. We laugh a lot and we experiment with dishes all the time.”
Instead of cheat days, she says she just watches when and how much she eats of anything indulgent.
To stay hydrated while exercising, Arnold says she has her go-to trick: “Every 2 days, I make sure I drink one liter of Trader Joe’s alkaline electrolyte water to stay hydrated. As I get older, it’s imperative that I keep up with my water intake.”
