1. She Hikes

Adele loves hiking. “Happy New Year from myself and this dog I met at the top of a mountain last night. 2023 I’m ready for ya!” she captioned a post from an NYE hike. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

2. She Pole Dances

Adele recently picked up a new hobby: Pole dancing. “Was encouraged to let her live in the grid. Was reluctant to do so, but perfection is overrated I guess! 💃🏽😍 This is the first hobby I’ve had in many years that isn’t also work. It feels so good to do something just for the love of it. Is this how you casually sporty/artistic/collector people feel all the time? Hobbies rule,” she captioned a video of her fat-blasting activity.

3. She Walks

Adele goes for walks wherever she is in the world. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. She Does Yoga

Adele also loves doing yoga. “Sometimes you have to try and see things from a different POV,” she captioned a recent post. “Highly recommend the @oldlanfarmhouse retreat if you’re looking for a reset & recharge.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. She Trains at the Gym

Adele also does strength and weight training. “Like a lot of women who exercise (at least that I’ve spoken to), I’ve always been afraid of working out my upper body ‘too much’. As a result, my workout schedule has largely been lower body focused. Since joining forces with @mike_fitness__ on top of my @bodybyciara schedule, however, my love for upper body conditioning has really started to grow. I’m not doing anything particularly extreme, but I was really on the 1 upper body day a week MAX flex - and more time like 75% of my week would be spent working out the lower body,” she captioned a post.

Solange Knowles is in paradise, and deserves the break. The singer and performance artist has had some health issues, but looks relaxed in her new surroundings, sharing photos of herself swimming, and standing aside palm trees, as she wears a swimsuit. Although there is no caption, she did get some flattering comments. “Wife!!!” exclaimed director Melina Matsoukas. “There she go,” said Erykah Badu, who added three kiss emojis. How does she stay so fit despite staying so busy? Read on to see 6 ways Solange Knowles 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 Has Learned to Accept Her Body

Knowles has said she needed to “learn to accept a lot of things” about her body. “And it isn't always easy. I often lose opportunities based on my will to want to navigate through that ownership of my body in the most authentic way. And I really kind of attained a lot of that from my mother.”

2. She Seeks Joy

Regarding one album, Knowles said: “I tried to do the work that would simply bring me the most joy. That would make me confront the things i am most afraid of. To reinforce those things until i really believed them. To realize time & space are big mysterious and I can only align on my own. Still got further to gooo.”

3. This is Her Take on Style

“Style has to play a part in everything that we do. It’s the way we communicate who we are before we say a word. I used to be really interested in fashion years ago, and the more I got pushed into that world, the more it actually motivated me to write this album. I felt that I was setting my intentions too much on fashion and not enough on style. So, once I kind of made that decision to really do this for me, my style has evolved and changed so much. It’s really interesting because moving to New Orleans people are 100 percent distinctively themselves. That gave me the courage to express myself in ways that I maybe was a little more self conscious about living in New York,” she told Stylecaster.

4. She Was Diagnosed With ADHD

“I was diagnosed with ADHD twice. I didn’t believe the first doctor who told me and I had a whole theory that ADHD was just something they invented to make you pay for medicine, but then the second doctor told me I had it,” Knowles has said. “The symptoms seem to apply to everyone around me in the industry. Loss of memory, starting something and not finishing it…”

5. She Had “Depleting Health”

“2 year anniversary of the project that literally changed my life. When I first started creating 'When I Get Home' I was quite literally fighting for my life ... in and out of hospitals (s/out park plaza on Binz! :) with depleting health and broken spirits asking God to send me a sign I would not only survive, but that if he let me make it out alive, I would step into the light whatever that meant. He begin speaking to me. Half the time I didn't know where it was coming from," she revealed on Instagram. She may have been referring to an autonomic disorder she had mentioned in the past. "I only knew I had to open the door and honor it. ... I didn't know who I was speaking to on 'I am a witness.'" "When I listen back, I hear a woman who had only an inkling of what the journey entailed, but didn't have a clue of why or what the journey would look like. This project has shown me, once you open that door, you can't go backwards."

6. This is One of the Things She’s Most Proud Of

“One of the things I’m most proud of in myself is that I’m okay to fail in front of the world; I’m okay to make mistakes and get back up and try again. You have to have that attitude when you want to experiment with different mediums,” she told Stylecaster.

Charlbi Dean, the South African actor you may recognize from Black Lightning and An Interview With God, is in the spotlight and loving it.

When Dean is acting on Black Lightning, she doesn’t always need a stuntwoman. She revealed on Instagram that she is working on learning her own stunts for the role. Dean posted this photo of herself learning martial arts. She captioned the photo, “Kicking ass and taking names!!! Thanks to the awesome stunt team for working me so hard and teaching me new tricks everyday!”

In the post, Dean is seen in the waves, and even does a photoshoot. Dean captioned the post, “Cape Town much needed escape.”

Dean is unafraid to speak her mind, and is a proud feminist. In this video interview with Next Management, she talked about double standards in the industry and society. “I always thought that if I spoke loud, people would feel uncomfortable. If I said what was on my mind, it would make people feel uncomfortable. Especially as a woman, too often we have to be quiet, and mind people. And what ends up happening is you have a whole bunch of people who are minded, but never end up speaking their mind. I don’t think you should even be apologetic for who you are.”
