Amanda Lamb is a TV host, best known for her work on A Place In The Sun. She and her family recently enjoyed a trip to Crete, Greece. Lamb shared some highlights on Instagram this week. In them, she enjoyed a day on the water. Lamb captioned the post, “Memories made, fears exercised.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amanda Lamb stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Faces Her Fears

In her recent Instagram post, Lamb talked about overcoming some of her fears. She began the caption with, “Faced a few fears today… took a boat out on my own with the girls. Might not seem much but it was a big thing for me. Pootled round the bay, got up close to Spinalonga (which we’re visiting tomorrow) jumped off into water so deep we couldn’t see the bottom and handed over the reins/wheel thingy to the teen who amazed me with how good she was.”

2. She Swims

Lamb likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this set of photos and videos on Instagram of herself having a pool day. Lamb captioned the post, “Continuing my love of dunking myself in various bodies of water. The pool at @casalasiesta has to be seen to be believed. Quiet, tranquil and mesmerising. I’ve barely been out of it. Highlight was early morning pre breakfast swim with coffee and book in hand and watching the swifts dive in for a drink.. swipe right to see.. they’re fast little buggers though, blink and you’ll miss him… will give you a tour soon once I’ve dragged myself back to reality…”

3. She Hikes

Swimming isn’t the only outdoor activity Lamb likes to do to stay in shape. She’s also a fan of hiking, and shares several hiking highlights on Instagram. In this set of photos, Lamb hikes Blackchurch Rock. She captioned the post, “Finally got down here. I’ve lived down here for 8 years and never managed to get to Blackchurch Rock. Go if you get the chance, it’s incredible and make sure you go at low tide so you can climb through and look like an awkward tourist.”

4. She Lives A Healthier Lifestyle

In an interview with Closer, Lamb talked about how she lost weight and adapted to a healthier lifestyle. "I put on weight while filming A Place In The Sun in Europe. We'd go out boozing, and I was eating baguettes for lunch, followed by stodgy dinners…Since then, my weight has slowly returned to normal. I eat healthily and go to the gym four times a week. One day I’m going to write a book about how to [lose weight]. It will be called Eat Less; Move More. It’s not rocket science.”

5. She Gets Her Vitamin D

Vitamin D from the sun is vital as it helps regulate calcium and phosphorus absorption, promoting healthy bone growth and maintenance. Sunlight triggers a skin reaction that generates vitamin D, aiding immune function, cell growth, and reducing inflammation. Insufficient sun exposure can lead to deficiencies, linked to bone disorders like rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. However, moderation is key due to sunburn and skin cancer risks. Balancing sun exposure, dietary sources, and supplements ensures adequate vitamin D levels for overall health.

Heiress and activist Amanda Hearst had a beautiful time wrapping up her summer season in Ibiza, Spain. Hearst, 39, shared a series of envy-inducing pictures of herself enjoying the sun, sea, and spectacular scenery with friends and loved ones. One picture shows the philanthropist posing on a boat, wearing a black swimsuit with shorts, against a background of stunning ocean waters. “Until next summer!! ❤️,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Hearst lives a happy and fulfilling life.


1. A Day In the Life

Hollywood,,California,/,Usa,-,December,16,,2019:,Attends,TheShutterstock

Hearst spends most of her day working on her charities. “I wake up at eight-fifteen, and then I feed the kitties,” she says. “I have breakfast while I’m reading my emails. Because I’m on L.A. time, I have most of my Zoom calls with Well Beings and Maison-de-Mode in the morning, and those will go through lunch, probably. After that I’ll do some personal time. Right now I’m trying to learn Norwegian, because my husband’s Norwegian, so that’s been my homework. Around like, four to four-thirty, I’ll do a yoga and/or meditation class on this app called GLO. After that I reconnect with my husband, hang out, order food, watch TV.”

2. Sustainable Fashion

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,30:,Amanda,Hearst,Arrives,For,'maleficent:Shutterstock

Hearst is passionate about responsible, sustainable fashion, which is why she helped create ethical luxury Maison de Mode. “I think when brands are made to order or produced locally, they are definitely more responsible with their resources, so that is a plus,” she says. “My cousin, Gabriela Hearst, has her own ready-to-wear line. She uses about 60 percent recycled, upcycled, non-virgin materials, and that has been a benefit in terms of production. She can still produce because she wasn’t dependent on factories creating virgin textiles. She already had the materials. I think that sustainability in some ways has been a benefit for these brands, [but] I just think at the end of the day, sales are really tough.”

3. Pilates and Yoga

Hearst swears by Pilates and yoga sessions for a fantastic workout. "There are plenty of online classes that teach you how to do Pilates on a mat," says Leanne Wonesh, an athletic trainer at Houston Methodist. "If you decide to go for an online mat class, just keep in mind that it can be much more intense than you think! I actually recommend underestimating yourself when trying your first online mat Pilates class and always starting at the beginner level. The last thing you want is to try it out and give up right away because it seems too difficult."

4. Leggings and La Mer

Hearst has a few things she can’t do without. “[When I feel like I have nothing to wear, I reach for] black leggings and a t-shirt because I've realized that I have nothing to wear and I'd rather be comfortable.” Her favorite luxury item is expensive face cream. “Creme de la Mer face cream, the original product,” she says. “My skin is so dry, and it's the only product that works for me in the winter.”

5. She’s Multilingual

In addition to learning Norwegian and being fluent in Spanish, Hearst is also studying Dutch. “Regardless of when you acquire additional languages, being multilingual gives your brain some remarkable advantages,” says educator Mia Nacamulli. Some of these are even visible, such as higher density of the gray matter that contains most of your brain's neurons and synapses, and more activity in certain regions when engaging a second language. The heightened workout a bilingual brain receives throughout its life can also help delay the onset of diseases, like Alzheimer's and dementia by as much as five years.”

A Place in the Sun presenter Scarlette Douglas is enjoying a beautiful vacation in Antigua, in the Caribbean. The British star, 36, shared some highlights from her magical trip to the island, including a snap of herself posing in a swimsuit next to a gorgeous pool, looking out over the ocean. “Hermitage Bay; a place of luxury, bliss, opulence and euphoria all rolled into one 💙💚🖤,” she captioned the post. How does Douglas stay so fit and beautiful? Here are 5 ways she takes care of her health and happiness.

1. She’s a Foodie

Douglas is passionate about food and loves to cook when she can. “I'm a big foodie,” she says. “It's funny because I've got a new house with a new kitchen, and I haven't used any of the appliances yet because I've not been around to cook. Something that would make me the happiest is having a really good meal – usually spaghetti bolognese with a side of garlic bread.”

2. Loving Her Curves

Douglas learned to love her looks after embracing what makes her unique—and refuses to diet to change her body. "It was having to watch myself on television,” she says. “I came from a dancing background and you’ve got to be thin and everybody has got to look the same. I was never going to look the same as anybody else because, as a black female, I'm curvy. I'm not going to have the same shape as my white friends. I really had to get into the mindset of 'this is my body and I don't have to diet all the time because my body just naturally isn't like that'.”

3. Working In Her Garden

Douglas calls her garden her safe haven. “I just love being outside, so my garden is really important to me,” she says. “My garden is currently getting renovated and I'm planning on having a paving area and artificial grass. Don't judge me! I'm never really in the country much, so real grass would be too much to maintain. My garden is split into tiers, so I'm also going to have some nice lounging seats, pebbles, an outside table with chairs, an outdoor rug, fairy lights, wind chimes and potted plants. It will be my safe haven where I can relax and read a book.”

4. Her Beauty Must-Haves

Castor,,Seeds,On,A,White,Background.Shutterstock

Douglas has a go-to list of things she can’t travel without. “Black castor oil, silk head cover, wide toothed comb and and my ‘HAIRepair’ Nourishing Conditioner,” she says. “With all these items my hair will stay well maintained! My must bring beauty products are definitely my Nivea Vanilla and Macadamia Nut Lip Butter, Mac Blot Powder, Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Powder and most importantly my body lotion. I can’t be having dry, ashy skin on screen!”

5. Her Number 1 Decorating Tip

Douglas has a useful tip for those who want to decorate homes with the intention of selling them. “The best decorating tip I learned is not to put too much of your own personality into a home if you are doing it up to sell,” she says. “I absolutely love pink. One of my spare bedrooms is decorated completely in blush pink, but that could actually put someone off. It's just about trying to be neutral while still adding flair here and there. Don't ever try to go too over-the-top because you might end up putting someone off. If it's your house then do whatever you want, but if you are doing a renovation to make money, then it needs to be a blank canvas to a certain degree. People need to be able to see what they can do with it and how they can make it theirs.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming. From her plant-based diet to her dedication to animal welfare, Romani’s habits reflect a balanced approach to wellness that keeps her looking and feeling her best. Here are the five key ways Claudia Romani stays in shape while living life to the fullest.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

Vegan Cobb Salad

A vegan food that Romani enjoys is salad. She shared this Instagram story of herself enjoying a vegan cobb salad. Bupa states that salad is very beneficial. “Salads can contain several foods which are prebiotics. These are foods which act as fuel for healthy bacteria. It also provides a type of indigestible fibre, which can be beneficial for your gut health. Foods to consider including in your salad can be onions, garlic, kale, carrots, and asparagus.”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none.

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
