Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.


She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills

Abbie Chatfield is celebrating her win for Audience Choice Award for Best Television Personality – in her swimsuit! The Bachelor Australia star shows off her incredible figure in a patterned swimsuit while standing on the beach in one of her latest social media posts. “AHHHH!! How amazing,” she captioned the post. “Thank you so much to everyone who voted. This is so special. All of you who support me mean the world, and the fact you took time out of your day to vote for me makes me beyond mushy!!” How does the reality star maintain her great figure? Read on to see 6 ways Abbie Chatfield stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Used to Eat What She Wanted, When She Wanted

Prior to going on the Bachelor, Abbie didn’t really watch what she ate. “I kind of ate what I wanted, when I wanted,” she told Body + Soul. “Prior to going into the mansion, my diet was much worse than it is now.”

2. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Abbie does a lot of exercising, mixing up her workouts. “I work out six days a week with a mix of HIIT, yoga, Pilates and just going for a run,” she told Body + Soul.

3. This Is What She Eats in a Day

Abbie starts off with a breakfast of yogurt with some frozen berries or pieces of fruit. Later in the morning she munches on corn thins with avocado spread. Then, for lunch she eats canned salmon with vegetables and a dash of rice. Dinner is usually a vegetarian patty or falafel wrap. If she has a sweet tooth she will have peanut butter with dates for dinner.

4. She Doesn’t Diet

“I don’t feel ashamed of how my body is,” Abbie said on her LiSTNR podcast, It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield “I’m not trying to lose weight.” She also pointed out that it is “fatphobic” to say that she looks better because she has lost weight. “In the last five or so years I have never intentionally gained or lost weight,” she revealed, adding that she’s not “doing a Kardashian and intentionally losing weight because of a trend,” but is sometimes too busy or stressed to eat. “I’m having a really hard time eating,” she admitted. “I’m having trouble finding time to eat, and then when I find time to eat I’m having a really hard time chewing food and a really hard time swallowing. I feel extremely nauseous when I eat food… It’s also stress.”

5. She Battled an Eating Disorder

“I did have definitely disordered eating and I had definite like, fatphobic thoughts that were ingrained in me by society and especially being a young woman in the early 2000’s,” Abbie added on her podcast. “I’ve worked so hard to not have those thoughts and I think I’m really proud of myself for genuinely not working out for how I look, not eating for how I look, genuinely enjoying food and genuinely being able to enjoy exercise and be more worried about whether I’m eating enough and what I’m eating and making sure I have the right nutrients.”

6. She Works Out When She Feels Like It

Abbie told Yahoo Lifestyle that she listens to her body and exercises when she feels like it. "I wake up and I would be like 'I feel like doing yoga right now' so I'll do yoga," she said. "Or I'm feeling a bit anxious, so I feel like going for a run – rather than 'I should run, to lose weight, to look better, to be more fit'."

Rachel Bilson is turning 40 later this month, and is celebrating her bikini body! The OC and Hart of Dixie star is currently vacationing in Hawaii, and shared a silly snap of herself in a bikini on her Instagram stories. How does the mother-of-one look nearly identical at 39 as she did two decades ago when she sky-rocketed to fame on the teen television show. Read on to see 6 ways Rachel Bilson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. Dancing Is Her Go-To Cardio

rachel-bilson-1Rachel Bilson/Instagram

Even before having kids, Rachel has always maintained that dance is her favorite workout. But now that she has a mom, her workout “consists of having dance parties with my daughter. Any way to get moving I’ll take,” she recently told Health. "If you have a blast on the dance floor, an aerobics class that includes dance moves would be a good choice. If you're a social person, a gym or health club membership may be a good option for you. If you prefer to exercise alone or you find health clubs intimidating, fitness videos and exercises you can do at home may be best for you," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. Her Diet Is Super Healthy

“We really try to be creative and healthy in my household. We’re big fans of incorporating plant-based things into our life, and Planet Oat Milk has made that so easy. We love doing breakfast experiments with Planet Oat,” the actress told Parade. (She has posted ads for the brand, too.) She tries to keep dairy to a minimum. “It really helped my daughter’s skin clear up. She was having some eczema, and when we stopped dairy, it went away. So, that was a huge eye-opener for us just seeing how much your diet can basically control things that are happening with your body.” She added to Health that her daughter loves a lot of the same foods as she does. “I’m lucky that my daughter’s palette is pretty advanced. She loves sushi and edamame and everything like that. Avocado. And we share that love together, and it’s great.”

3. She Has an Unhealthy Cheat Food

Rachel allows herself to cheat on occasion. “My unhealthiest is when I binge on Flamin' Hot Cheetos, because it happens. I binge. I can admit it. I've actually gotten better this year. It got to the point where I was eating them so much that, like, you poop red every day! You're like, "OK, I don't know what's going through my body, but I probably should stop. There are problems," she told Health.

4. This Is Her Daily Self-Care Ritual

Rachel makes sure to take time for self-care. “Personally, it’s being able to take a bath at night after my daughter has gone to sleep and having that moment for myself,” she told Health. "Many people benefit from practices such as deep breathing, tai chi, yoga, meditation or being in nature. Set aside time for yourself. Get a massage, soak in a bubble bath, dance, listen to music, watch a comedy — whatever helps you relax," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Stays Active

In an interview with Forbes, Rachel revealed that she is a fan of outdoor activities. “For exercise, we walk everywhere and try to ride our bikes. I'm a big fan of doing active things. So, when we're at the beach, we are swimming and running," she said. "There are many activities you can enjoy close to home, whether you're visiting your favorite public, state or national park, or just spending time in your neighborhood," says the Mayo Clinic. "While various activities may not be possible during some seasons, there are many ways to be active outdoors throughout the year. Get moving with these low-risk outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic:

  • Walking, running and hiking
  • Rollerblading and biking
  • Fishing and hunting
  • Golfing
  • Rock or ice climbing
  • Kayaking, canoeing, diving, boating or sailing
  • Skiing, including cross-country and downhill skiing
  • Ice skating
  • Snowboarding
  • Sledding
  • Snowshoeing
  • Fitness classes, held outside or virtually, that allow distance."

6. Confidence Is Key

“My mantra is it’s none of my business what other people think of me. It’s so important to stay true to yourself and be confident in the choices you make, and what you do for yourself, and feeling good about it,” Rachel told Health. “I feel that it’s important to me because I am setting an example for my daughter every day," she continued, explaining that "being so confident in yourself and being proud of yourself are so key as a woman.”

Before a photoshoot, Clancy makes sure to eat healthy. She revealed her typical process to Closer Online. “I normally just cut out junk food when I want to shape up. Before a photo shoot, I avoid stodge and eat food like fish and veg, which you can digest easily, so you don’t get a bloated stomach. Drinking lots of water helps, too.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Hair

In order to model, Clancy has to take care of her hair. She revealed some of her secrets and products to The Guide Liverpool. “I stopped having my hair bleached and tinted so often.

3. She Makes Smoothies

Abbey Clancy is throwing out some major tropical vibes. In her latest Instagram post, the 36-year-old mother-of-three flaunts her famous figure in a palm tree print swimsuit. In addition to lots of fire emojis, her followers unanimously agreed that she looked stunning in the swimwear. “Oh so beautiful,” wrote one. “Stunning. Wow,” commented another. How does the WAG keep herself in such fabulous physical form? Read on to see 9 ways Abbey Clancy stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Does Pilates

Abbey’s go-to workout is pilates. “I’m definitely not a runner, but I love doing Reformer Pilates and aerobic classes. Whenever I finish a session I always have more energy and my body feels really toned,” she told Health & Wellbeing. She even makes her pilates workouts social. “As everyone’s so busy, it can be hard to arrange a catch-up with my friends, so we often go to a Pilates class together and grab a healthy breakfast afterwards – it’s the perfect way to motivate each other and we squeeze in a gossip whilst working out,” she added. “There are always new exercises and fads that come and go, but I always end up going back to Pilates-based activities, because they give me everything my body needs.”

2. She Stays Active

Abbey maintains an active lifestyle. “I don’t work out a huge amount but I try to include exercise in my everyday life somehow and I’m lucky that I’ve got an active lifestyle,” she added. “I admit that genetically I am very fortunate (all of my family are tall and lean) but my body really enjoys a good workout.” One way she stays fit is taking long walks with her kids. “I’m up early with my daughter every day, we walk to school and then I’m busy working all day, sometimes into the evening.”

3. She Pays More Attention to Diet and Workout When She Has a Job

“I’m like every other woman and get insecure about my body from time to time – it’s only natural. Modeling swimwear and lingerie means that I’m on show in front of a lot of people, a lot of the time, so I need to be mindful of what I eat, otherwise, I won’t feel my best and it’ll show in the pictures. Because of that, I’m really conscious of training enough, looking after myself and making sure that I still keep a womanly shape with curves in all the right places,” she said. “If I know that I have a photoshoot or event coming up I make sure that I watch what I eat a bit more and take an extra class or two to give me a confidence boost.”

4. She Rides Horses

Abbey is an experienced equestrian. “I’ve always been a very active person and love to get up and be outside as much as possible,” she revealed. “There’s nothing better than riding my horse in the countryside – I can’t wait to get back in the saddle this summer.”

5. She Dances

Abbey maintains that when she went on the show Strictly Come Dancing her body changed dramatically.”We were training for seven hours a day, almost every day, so I did drop weight and became seriously toned, but I also lost my boobs, which I hated! It was great to see what my body could do but I missed having curves and a more womanly figure. It’s only when I look back at pictures from that time that I realize how different it looked, six-pack and all! I loved my time on the show so much that I didn’t realize it was also a really intense workout, which is the key to keep exercise interesting,” she said.

6. She Believes in Moderation

“My fitness mantra is to do something you enjoy but don’t push yourself too hard,” Abbey said. “It’s great to eat as healthily as possible and to give your body everything it needs but at the same time, try not to be too strict with yourself because you have to enjoy your life. If you want a piece of chocolate, don’t beat yourself up about it. And if that glass of wine on a Friday night makes you happy, drink up – everything in moderation.”

7. This Is What She Eats in a Day

Abbey has a “huge appetite” and has to eat first thing in the morning. “Today I’ve had muesli followed by poached eggs and smoked salmon but it’s usually toast, cereal or something hot,” she said. She also loves to cook. “I love to be in the kitchen and enjoy making hearty, home-cooked food for my family at mealtimes. My husband’s 6’7” and my brother (who lives with us) is 6’4”, so I’ve got these big, burly men in my house who need their plates to be piled high,” she continued. “I often make steak with a salad, jacket potatoes, fajitas, a massive fish pie or a big roast dinner on a Sunday. Being married to a footballer helps with my diet because he needs a lot of protein and the right nutrients to nourish his body, which rubs off on me.”

8. She Cheats

Abbey is all about the occasional cheat meal. “I have a real sweet tooth. I love cakes and biscuits with a cup of tea but I try to limit how often I have them,” she said. “When I indulge I usually go for a pizza at the weekend. I don’t have it every day but now and again I really fancy one and don’t hold back. If I deny myself anything it can put me in a really bad mood and I think about it all the more.”

9. She Drinks Green Juice

“I can’t start the day without making a green juice,” Abbey confessed. “I throw in any fruit, vegetables, nuts and super powders that I have in the fridge and I’ve noticed such a difference in my energy levels, my skin is really clear and my hair feels stronger. Without one I feel sluggish, tired and crave unhealthier foods, so I always make sure I’ve stocked up on healthy ingredients. I feel better knowing that I’ve had my vitamins and minerals for the day, so anything extra is a bonus.”

Calling Cindy Crawford iconic would be an understatement. She’s a pop culture juggernaut, who’s appeared in several well-known commercials and music videos. She’s one of the most successful models of all time. She’s also considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.

One of herself as a child, and one of herself now. In the current photo, Crawford is seen floating on her back in a white one-piece. She captioned the post, “Water baby - nothing’s changed!” Read on to see 5 ways Cindy Crawford stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Works Out In The Morning

Crawford broke down her daily routine to Harper’s Bazaar. She’s a very busy woman, so she works out first thing in the morning. “I wake up around 6:30, check my emails to make sure there are no fires, then head down to our home gym with a green tea. I don’t want to miss having breakfast with my family, so I get my workout checked off the to-do list.”

2. She Does Cardio Each Day

Crawford loves to do cardio workouts in the morning. She tells Harper’s Bazaar what her favorites are. “I do 20 minutes of cardio,” she says. “10 on the Bellicon trampoline, and 10 running stairs.”

3. She Makes A Shake For Breakfast

Crawford makes sure to eat a healthy breakfast each day. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she likes to make a shake each day, and revealed her recipe. “For breakfast, I’ll make a shake and take it with me if I’m on the run. I put in a cup of almond milk, a cup of spinach, a handful of fresh mint, two scoops of Billy Merritt’s Infinity Greens, and protein powder."

4. She Still Indulges

Crawford isn’t afraid to indulge. She tells Allure that she likes to have a piece of chocolate each day, and this helps her consistently eat healthy. "At the end of lunch, I always have a small piece of dark chocolate — it tells my body that I'm done with my meal. In my experience, if you're craving something and deny yourself, you wind up eating five other things, and then you eat the thing you're craving anyway.”

5. She Carries Healthy Snacks

Crawford tells Allure that she always has healthy snacks on hand with her. "I'm obsessed with having food in my bag. I hate the idea that I'll get hungry and there will only be bad options around. I usually have almonds, San-J Tamari crackers, maybe Urban Remedy [gluten-free] brownies."

It has been over 34 years since Reese Witherspoon captured the hearts of the world in her breakout role in The Man in the Moon. The Academy Award-winning actress, now 48 and will be celebrating her 49th in March, has managed to slow down the aging process, looking a fraction of her years. How does she stay fit and look youthful as she nears 50? Here are the top diet and fitness habits responsible for her ageless beauty.

Reese has learned an important lesson as she has gotten older. “In my 30s, I learned to accept my body for what it is. This is what looks good on it. It will never look good in that thing over there with all the fabric and the bows and the ruffles. It just won't,” she told InStyle.

Drinking Enough Water[

In one of her Instagram Reels, Reese revealed that she starts the morning off on a hydrating note. “Start the day with a big glass of water,” she wrote. The Mayo Clinic explains that hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Eats Healthy and Gets in Her Greens

Reese tries to eat healthy but doesn’t go to extreme measures. “I don’t believe in crash dieting or anything like that," Reese told Us Weekly. "I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning," she added to Radio Times. She loves nutritionist Kim Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, which consists of spinach, romaine lettuce, celery, apple, pear, banana, and lemon juice. "I start every day with a Glowing Green Smoothie and so does my whole family!" she wrote in a testimonial on Snyder's website

Reese added to Radio Times that she wakes up at 5:30 a.m. so she can work out by 7:30 a.m. "I probably do that six days a week," she said.

Getting Enough Sleep

According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

Julie makes sure to lather on SPF to protect her skin. She told People, “As a responsible parent with three kids who love to be outdoors, I rely totally on a good sunblock,” she told People.

Skincare products are an essential part of her approach. She makes sure to hydrate before traveling. “Before I get on an airplane, which I am doing today, I pile up on the skincare products," she told Hollywood Life. "You couldn’t hug me because I would just slip right away from you."

Taking Off Her Makeup at Night

Roberts is a firm believer in taking off her makeup before bed. One of her favorite products is Lancôme's Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover. “A lot of times you take off your eye makeup at night, and the next morning you wake up and look like you already put makeup on! But this formula gets rid of every stitch of makeup,” she told Viva

Roberts told The Independent that she's not a fan of exercise, but does it anyway. “Accomplishment, clarity, energy, strength, joy...these are all things I give myself through working out, and I can feel it in everything I do," she said. E News maintains that yoga is her workout of choice. She also enjoys pilates, swimming, and plyometrics (jump training). "After 90 minutes [of plyometrics], I'm lying in savasana like, 'Phew! I'm so glad that's behind me!'" she said.

It’s hard to believe that Kerry Washington is celebrating her 48th birthday on January 31.

What is her secret to looking and feeling young? Here are her top secrets for longevity.

Exercise

Kerry exercises a lot, mixing up her workouts. “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” she told ELLE. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” she added to Women’s Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.” Kerry added to Allure that she doesn’t view exercise as a chore. “I love to work out. It’s really important to me; it’s part of the culture of my family,” she said. She also loves SoulCycle, yoga, Peloton classes, dance classes, Gyrotonic training, and the elliptical machine. “I do different things, but I’m most obsessed with water aerobics,” she said. “Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.”

Balanced Diet

Kerry has a healthy and balanced approach to food. “In general in life I try to live it, not diet,” she told People. “I think that’s hard when you’re restricting a lot. So I try to take it easy on a daily basis and do what’s going to make me feel good.” Nonna Gleyzer, one of her Pilates trainers, revealed to Shape that the actress “has always been an extremely healthy eater” and “eats a lot of vegan products, with little clean meals throughout the day.”

Nutrient Dense Drinks

Kerry enjoys drinking her nutrients. She told ELLE that she is super into nutritionist Kim Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, packed with spinach, celery, lemon juice, cilantro, and more. “I try to keep it consistent year-round,” Washington said. Gleyzer added to Shape that she hydrates with coconut water. “She loves coconut water, which gives her potassium and important electrolytes. With the long hours she works, there’s really no room for her to play around. She needs to be in the best shape every single day, and she definitely is.”

Hydration and Rest

“The things my mother always stressed were to drink a lot of water and get a lot of rest, which I used to roll my eyes at,” she told Oprah Magazine. “Now I think she’s a genius. Health and wellness really are the sources of beauty.”

Keeping Alcohol to a Minimum

You won’t find the star drinking her calories in the form of alcohol. “I’m also not a drinker,” Kerry confessed Eto lle. “I love a drink occasionally, but I wouldn’t be able to handle it. You see one sip, but I have to drink three cups to get the scene done,” she said. “I tend to be a ‘when in Rome drinker.’ When I’m traveling, I drink what they have there or I’ll get a special cocktail.”
