Shekinah Garner is channeling her animal instinct – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the 90 Day Fiancé, The Other Way star looks incredible in an animal print bathing suit. “How often do you get the opportunity to have your animal spirit tarot read, or meet someone else with the same tattoo as you?” the reality star captioned the Instagram post with her followers. “11:11 ur destiny babe … u meet me in 11, were borned in 11 …” wrote her fiancé, Sarper. How does she maintain her fabulous physique? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.


1. She Starts the Day with Carbs and Protein

In an Instagram Q&A, Shekinah revealed her diet and fitness secrets. She likes to start her day with a hearty breakfast. “My boyfriend, Sarper, taught me to combine Turkish oatmeal with my eggs and to add Turkish ketchup which is really spicy,” she said, adding that she “craves” this protein and healthy carb filled breakfast every day.

2. She Cooks Her Own Meals

While Shekinah might eat out on occasion, you will usually find her meal prepping at home. “One thing I try to do as often as possible is to prepare my own food. That way I know exactly what is going in it,” she said.

3. She Loves Salmon

For lunch and dinner, Shekinah eats lean protein. “I try to eat omega-rich foods such as salmon at least three times a week,” she said, revealing that she cooks the fish in an air fryer, “because it limits the amount of additional oils you use and is less cleanup.”

4. She Eats Healthy Carbs

She pairs her protein with a healthy and sweet carb. “For my carb I like to eat sweet potato with a little almond butter and raw honey. This is such a good way to boost your energy level,” she said.

5. She Makes Coffee Meal Replacement Shakes

Shekinah is a big fan of protein shakes – with a kick of caffeine. “I make my own meal replacement shakes using cold brew coffee as a base and plant-based protein powder,” she said.

6. She Hydrates

Shekinah prioritizes hydration. “I actually make my own water using a reverse osmosis water system. This filters out all the bad stuff from your water and makes it really pure and healthy. And then I carry around a big canister all day long drinking water,” she said.

7. She Exercises

Shekinah works out hard. “I workout twice a week with my trainer. This is really important for me,” she revealed. “I like to barely be able to walk out of the gym after a workout.”

90 Day Fiancé star Kirlyam Cox is taking time off from her busy day-to-day schedule to enjoy some rest and relaxation at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Cox shared a sweet picture of herself posing on a sun lounger in a polka dot bikini and brightly patterned sarong, holding a book on her lap. “My favorite person,” a fan commented. Cox has been in the public eye for a decade—here’s how she stays healthy and happy.

1. One Day At a Time

Cox shared updates on her health and wellness journey on social media. “Is the photo nice?” she captioned a post. “It's ok my people, I know lol. But I just wanted to celebrate with you a goal that I have been accomplishing and that has made me very happy. I started working out a few days ago and not just to lose the weight I need (I'm above my ideal weight) but also to improve my physical and mental fitness. One day at a time 🙌🏻 Little by little I will share with you how things are going. Hope you're as excited as me!”

2. Strong Relationship

Cox and husband Adam are still going strong. “The first thing we usually say to each other when Alan comes home from work is ‘Eu estava com saudades!’ ‘Saudades’ has no direct translation in English. It describes a deep emotional state of longing for someone you love. Basically, it means, ‘I really, really missed you!'” she says.

3. Winter Weather

Cox loves the cold weather after growing up in a hot climate. “Winter is my absolute favorite season of the year!” she says. “You can get comfortable outfits and look cute at the same time. I think I like winter that much because where I used to live in Brazil it’s always so hot. You never have a break. It's always summer. What is your favorite season?

4. Love For Frida Kahlo

Cox is deeply passionate about art. “I still can't believe I had the immense privilege of observing a piece of art by my dear Frida Kahlo ♥️,” she captioned a post. “I was so moved and touched that I was able to have this moment in my life, that to be honest, I can't put into words what it meant to me. I love you, Frida. Thank you for all the lessons and struggles. To be honest, it's hard to find words to explain what it meant to me to be there. I love you Frida! Thank you for all the lessons and fight!”

5. She Loves Dresses

Cox loves wearing dresses every day. “Do you guys have a to go outfit?” she captioned an Instagram post. “For me, I'll always choose a dress to be mine. In my opinion, they'll always make me feel good about myself, make me feel pretty and feminine. For example, when I tried this one, I was so happy, I took like a million selfs and was dancing around the house.”

Ekin-Su Culculoglu found true love on Love Island: Davide Sanclimenti. And despite their ups and downs since the show, the duo have confirmed to be reunited. Meanwhile, Culculoglu is also seeking good-looking things in all kinds of places. “There’s beauty to be found in the unknown,” she captioned a new swimsuit photo. What’s her take on her time on the show? Here’s what she says.


1. Being on the Show was “Overwhelming” and Wonderful

London,,United,Kingdom,-,June,26,,2023:,Ekin-su,Culculoglu,AttendsShutterstock

“It's been absolutely overwhelming. I'm just so grateful that I even went on a show,” she told Lorraine. “It is such a successful show. I didn't think I'd find the love of my life and ended up finding the perfect man, not just the perfect body, but just didn't realize, hey, when you leave the villa that you have no idea what's going on. I had no idea. I had this love and this support and I just want to be thankful to everyone. Even my haters, I love them as well. Even if there is that, I'm just over the moon. It's been really busy. Just all these projects lined up…It's just all surreal. I don't even know what to say. That's how excited and happy I am.”

2. She Says Her Relationship Was Real

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,06,,2023:,Ekin-su,Culculoglu,AttendsShutterstock

“It was all real though in there,” she said to Lorraine. “It was. And that's why I was shocked when we won because we forgot it was a show at one point. We were like, if this relationship isn't working, I felt like walking at one point and I felt like if it's not going to work, I don't want anyone else. And he felt the same. And then when we were towards the final, we were like, wait, this is a show. What? There's a final, what's going on? And we were so grateful to even be fourth, third, whatever it was. Everyone we thought were winners. So yeah, I still can't believe that.”

3. Take a Deep Breath and Relax

London,,United,Kingdom,-,December,05,,2022:,Ekin-su,Culculoglu,AttendsShutterstock

She felt comfortable on screen because the cameras, “they're so hidden. These cameras, you don't know where they are. You can't pretend or act on there. If you were to act, it would happen for two days and your mask would fall off. Then you're yourself. And in Casa Moore, obviously there was a moment, I dunno, I'm going to say this. Medics came. I had a mini panic attack, I was thinking, oh no, what's Davide doing in Cass Amor? Is he with someone else? And the medics were like, it's fine. Just relax.” She took deep breaths.

4. She Really Was in Shock

When she won, she really was “shocked. When I say my heart, my heart was beating. It was coming out of my chest. I genuinely thought everyone's winners. I didn't really expect anything. And then when our names were called, I was like, is this a dream,” she said on Loose Women.

5. ”In Relationships, You Make Mistakes”

“In relationships, you got to make mistakes,” she said on Loose Women. “You got to know it's right. You have to have these tests, and in real life, whether you have a normal job day-to-day walking on the street, you have to trust your partner and there's going to be people who are going to try it on you. And I feel like Casa Amor was that big test and the fact that whether Davide came back alone or not, that was a test for him.”

The Golden Bachelor star April Kirkwood spent quality time in Port St. Lucie, Florida over the summer, soaking up the sun at the beach. Kirkwood, 65, shared a picture of herself standing on the sand facing the sea, wearing a black one-piece swimsuit and straw hat. “I grew up when we said the pledge of Allegiance each morning after the bell rang each morning in school and sang patriotic songs proudly in chorus… Yes, I love America. I love my family. I love my life,” she captioned the post. Kirkwood clearly lives an amazing life—here’s how she does it.


1. Dancing to Taylor Swift

Kirkwood is a big Taylor Swift fan, and enjoys impromptu dance parties at home. “One of the best things about dance is its creativity – you’re free to interpret moves in your own way,” says the British Heart Foundation. “Some varieties, such as ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) barn dancing, have a ‘caller’ who shouts out moves to the crowd.”

2. Dog Lover

Kirkwood loves spending time with her two dogs, something that is proven to be beneficial for health. “One notable benefit is that dogs force you to get up and move,” says Tahir Tak, MD. “One research study found that dog owners are more likely to report regular physical activity than people who don't own dogs. Activities associated with dog ownership, like feeding, grooming, playing and letting them outside, all increase physical activity levels. Physical activity improves blood flow, induces muscle contraction and reduces joint stiffness.”

3. She’s a Writer

One of Kirkwood’s dreams is to write a bestselling book. “Writing creatively about challenging experiences, like grief, can also offer a way to communicate to others something which you feel is too complicated or difficult to say directly,” says Christina Thatcher, Creative Writing Lecturer, Cardiff Metropolitan University. “Creative writing encourages people to choose their words, metaphors and images in a way that really captures what they’re trying to convey. This creative decision-making can lead to increased self-awareness and self-esteem as well as improved mental health.”

4. Animal Friends

Kirkwood loves animals, and is frequently posting pictures of them on her social media—like a new bird she befriended. "I have a new companion. I prayed for a chicken and there she came. We haven’t had time to chat much but I’ll let you know her name when she tells me. I think she’s also a good omen. Yes, I’ll clean up her droppings but I’m not sharing my chicken bag,” she captioned a post.

5. Energy Healing

Kirkwood incorporates energy healing into her wellness regimen. “Now I do energy healing every morning, use the power of numbers to assist in raising my frequency to higher realms. I found my power animal. I found the little girls inside that were missing and I am helping them grow into my being,” she captioned an Instagram post.

Kat Izzo was a contestant on the 27th season of The Bachelor, which aired earlier this year. She is currently starring on the ninth season of Bachelor in Paradise. Izzo just shared a stunning new set of photos from the show on Instagram. In them, she wore different swimsuits. She captioned the post, “Manic but marvelous.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kat Izzo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Wants To Build Relationships

Izzo opened up about her decision to go on Bachelor in Paradise to Bustle. “At first, I was a little hesitant. But I thought this was also going to be an experience with my girlfriends, and it might provide some hopeful relationships — either deepening [a relationship] with myself or with others. It would just be something I really couldn’t say no to.”

2. She’s True To Herself

Izzo made sure to be true to herself when she filmed Bachelor In Paradise. She tells Bustle that she was initially worried, but overcame those doubts. “Just the vulnerability that comes with putting yourself back on television. [But] the good thing about Paradise is it represents the real world a lot more than the other shows do, so you can get comfortable a lot quicker. I was worried I would be in my shell, but that definitely was not the case. I was fully myself in every capacity.”

3. She Swims

Izzo spends a lot of time outside, and does a lot of outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. One thing she likes to do is go swimming. She shared this photo of herself going for a dip in a pool on Instagram. Izzo captioned the post, “Monday blues.” She also shared this photo of herself in a pool, captioning it, “Where the wild things are.”

4. She Hikes

Another outdoor workout Izzo likes to do is going hiking. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself going on hikes. Izzo shared these photos of herself in Asheville, North Carolina. In some of them, she is seen hiking. She also shared these photos of herself hiking Grandfather Mountain. Izzo captioned that post, “How we started vs how we ended our 5.8 mile 1940 ft elevation hike.”

5. She Gets Vitamin D

Exposure to sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, offering various health benefits. When the skin absorbs UVB rays, it triggers the synthesis of vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. Adequate vitamin D levels promote strong bones by aiding calcium absorption, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, it supports a healthy immune system, reducing susceptibility to infections. Vitamin D may also contribute to mood regulation and lower the risk of depression. Furthermore, emerging research suggests potential links between vitamin D and reduced risks of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and certain cancers. However, it's important to balance sun exposure to prevent skin damage and skin cancer. Consulting a healthcare professional for guidance on maintaining optimal vitamin D levels is advisable.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as 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, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
