Alexandra Daddario is getting her sweat on in her two-piece. In a new social media post the White Lotus star flaunts her incredibly fit figure while pumping iron at the gym. “Two hard working girls on vacation,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the actress approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Yoga

Alexandra does a lot of yoga. “As a teenager, I think it’s so easy to get sucked into what everyone else thinks is beautiful and what you’re supposed to be doing. Luckily enough for me, I found out early on that beauty meant feeling confident. I started doing yoga around 18, and there was a confidence that that brought for me – a way of holding myself. It wasn’t about always looking good. I come out of yoga all sweaty and gross and smelling bad. But it would get me off to a great start every day,” she told Vogue UK. “Free your hips and your mind will follow,” she captioned a recent post. There are lots of benefits of doing yoga. “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,” Harvard Health says. “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.”

2. Acupuncture Treatments

Alexandra started acupuncture at the age of 23, when she was suffering from a frozen shoulder and claims that it helps with sleep and stress levels. “I’m obsessed. I’ve had the needles everywhere—all over my body,” she told Women’s Health. “New place-not going to move again for at least a month,” she captioned a recent post of herself during a session.

3. Gluten-Free Treats

Alexandra has a sweet tooth but keeps it healthy. “I have this cookbook and I've been making gluten-free treats for everyone. They're always gone in two days, because everyone in the household eats them. And you can't even tell they're gluten-free, so even the kids eat them sometimes,” she told InStyle.

4. Self-Care

“It’s very important to take time for yourself, especially when you live a fast-paced life. It’s good to disconnect from your phone and to read. Meditation is also great. I’m a huge proponent of therapy, too. It’s also important to keep a really good group of friends and call people and check in on people. I think that there’s something really valuable about not being afraid to reach out to someone and talk to them about how you’re feeling. I think that really creates a bond, especially as you get older,” she told Vogue UK.

5. Strength Training

Alexandra relies on strength training sessions with Patrick Murphy to keep her body strong and sculpted. “Working out with Patrick makes me feel more confident in everyday life. I feel stronger and healthier — even more so than I did in my 20s,’ she told Women’s Health UK. “My back doesn’t hurt anymore, my posture is better — his approach is to keep you feeling good and your joints working. Looking stronger is just a bonus.”

Thaisa Costa, a successful bodybuilder, continues to inspire her fans with her dedication to fitness, regularly sharing workout content on Instagram. In a recent post, Costa is seen wearing pink workout gear and showcasing her impressive routine. She captioned the post, “Do you like videos like this? 😍💖 Remembering my coupon on the website@duxnutritionlabTHAISA10 and get 15% off on the entire site.” Here’s a closer look at how Costa maintains her strong physique.


1. She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram post, Costa is seen using weights to do exercises like deadlifts. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights is very beneficial. “Training for muscle strength is different than training for muscle size. A six- to 10-week strength-focused mesocycle of heavy resistance and low reps followed by a six- to 10-week hypertrophy (bodybuilder) mesocycle of moderate weight for higher rep ranges can produce significant gains in both size and strength.”

2. She Does Crunches

Costa is seen doing crunches in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. According to The Mayo Clinic, “The abdominal crunch is one of the most common exercises used to train the abdominal muscles. The abdominal crunch targets the abdominal muscles, which are part of your core muscle group. The stronger your core muscles, the easier it is to do most physical activities and sports.”

3. She Does Shoulder Presses

Costa is also seen doing shoulder presses in her Instagram post. NIFS states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Shoulder health, strength, and stability are so important in training and, more importantly, everyday living. The vertical press options here are great ways to continue to bulletproof your shoulders, and the best first step is to get screened and take care of your shoulders prior to heavy loading.”

4. She Works Hard

Costa naturally works hard when she hits the gym. In this Instagram post’s caption, she talked about this. “One day I decided to change, 4 years of ups and downs process and it's not just about lipo. Your effort and dedication toward a goal speaks volumes about you. ❤️ Just the first step. The goal is to top her! ✨”

5. She Does Leg Extensions

Costa is seen using the leg extension machine in this Instagram video. Asphalt Green states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

Antonia Lofaso is a huge name in the culinary world, especially when it comes to TV. She first appeared on the fourth season of Top Chef, and then returned for the all-star season eight. Lofaso has also appeared on Food Network’s Tournament Of Champions, Supermarket Stakeout, and Beachside Brawl, among others. She recently shared a video on Instagram of herself doing pushups. Lofaso captioned the post, “I went from dreading …..like angry everytime @__wallyworld__ put them in workout. And for the record always first thing is always so annoying….

Read on to see 5 ways Antonia Lofaso stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Cooks

Naturally, Lofaso cooks a lot of her own meals. And according to Harvard Health, this is helping her eat healthy. “The more people cook at home, the healthier their diet, the fewer calories they consume, and the less likely they are to be obese or develop type 2 diabetes. A growing body of scientific evidence supports teaching patients how to cook meals at home as an effective medical intervention for improving diet quality, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.”

2. She Does Chest Workouts

Lofaso shares a lot of her favorite workouts on her Instagram. One thing she makes sure to do is chest exercises. Lofaso shared this video of herself doing chest pull-ups. She captioned the post, “Chest muscles for life …. It’s either this or a boob job 😂😂😂 I choose this 🥰🥰 @__wallyworld__ I know it’s a back exercise 😂😂”

3. She Weight Trains

Another thing Lofaso does to stay in shape is strength train. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats with a barbell. She captioned the post, “My consistency is back ! Thanks to @__wallyworld__ and @deuce_gym it’s easy to fall off for a bit but always come back to it. I love it so much….”

4. She Jumps Rope

Lofaso also jumps rope to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing so on Instagram. Lofaso captioned the post, “This year has reminded me....I love my teams more than words can describe ..... my relationships are most important moving forward..... pain is 💯 inevitable in this lifetime suffering is a choice. AND I can do double unders 😘😘😘😘 Happy New Year Amazing People of this world ❤️❤️❤️ commentary and video.”

5. She Does Push Ups

As you can see from her Instagram reel, Lofaso does pushups to keep herself in shape. She also posted this video of herself doing them in March. She captioned that post, “Pushups make me emotional 🙄🙄. On this fitness journey there have been wins and movements that humble me … the pushup does that. I’m a work in progress … we all are … reminder today. Thanks @__wallyworld__ for always programming the thing I need ❤️”

Tanya Poppett is a very successful fitness trainer. She has a large following on social media. Poppet recently shared some of her favorite upper body workouts on Instagram. She captioned a video, “What my UPPER sessions in the gym look like 👇I’ve been doing an Upper/ Lower split for the past few months now. This is a typical upper body session for me - mixing in some ‘power’ based moves with my strength sets and finishing with accessories.”


1. She Does Chin Ups

In her Instagram post, Poppett is seen doing chin-ups. These are very effective. ACE Fitness reports, “Chin-ups can help improve grip strength, posture and appearance, while also helping to strengthen muscles that stabilize the spine. This, in turn, can help reduce one’s risk of back pain and injury. Even if a client is only able to do one or two chin-ups at a time, this exercise offers tremendous benefits, especially for the back, shoulders, forearms and biceps.”

2. She Strength Trains

Poppett likes to do strength training workouts to stay fit. She is seen using landmines and weighted balls in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training exercises are very beneficial. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

3. She Does Pulldowns

Tanya Poppett.3Tanya Poppett/Instagram

Poppett is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that these exercises can be very beneficial. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

4. She Does Bodyweight Workouts

Poppett likes to do bodyweight workouts when she can’t get to the gym. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them, captioning it, “BODYWEIGHT AND HARD 🥵I’m back in a home workout phase at the moment. I can usually only get to the gym on the days Maple is at preschool… so twice a week. Otherwise it’s home workouts while she naps 💪I’m using it as an opportunity to work on things like my bodyweight strength, plyometrics and running. Then when I get to the gym I go HARD and HEAVY!”

5. She Does Core Workouts

Poppett has an amazing core. She revealed some of her favorite ab workouts in this Instagram video, captioning it, “COMPLETE CORE SET 💪With just an exercise ball 👌 Thank you to child birth for reminding me how handy these things can be 😄Added in this core set after my steady state cardio on the weekend. It focuses on rotation, anti extension, anti-flexion, lateral stability and anti-rotation for an all round core challenge.”

Cass Martin is a trainer. She has developed quite a large following on Instagram. Martin shares a lot of her workouts on her page. She recently shared some of her favorite back exercises. In the post, Martin is seen lifting weights, doing lateral pulldowns, and doing pull-ups. Martin captioned the post, “Back day.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Cass Martin stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Lifts Weights

Martin also likes to lift weights. She is seen using dumbbells and landmines in her Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights have a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

2. She Does Ab Workouts

Martin makes sure to work her abs. She shared some of her favorite standing workouts in this Instagram post. Martin captioned the post, “Standing Ab Workout♥︎ 3 Rounds. Side Crunch-20 seconds on each side. Weighted Overhead Marches-20 seconds. Alternating Toe Touch-20 seconds. Weighted Knee to Elbow-20 seconds.”

3. She Works Her Lower Body

Martin doesn’t skip leg day. She shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Starting the week off with an all Dumbbell Hamstring and Glute workout🥰🔥This workout can be easily be done at the gym or at home with limited equipment💪🏼 →DB RDLs-Toe Raised 4 Sets 12,12,10,8. →DB Sumo Squats 4 Sets 12,12,10,10. →DB Curtsy Lunges 4 Sets 10,10,8,8. →Lying DB Hamstring Curls 4 Sets 12,12,10,10. →DB Hip Thrust 4 Sets 15,15,12,12.”

4. She Works Her Shoulders

Martin likes to do shoulder exercises. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video. In it, Martin is seen doing PVC dislocates, pec stretches, scapular dips, and others. She captioned the post, “Keep your joints healthy & injury-free!💪🏼I aim to do these movements at least twice a week! Not only do I feel like it’s helped me with stiffness in my shoulders & throughout my spine, but doing these have also helped me to go deeper into my range of motion with my upper body lifts, all while improving my blood flow & circulation! Trust me, your body will thank you & you can continue to challenge yourself & improve over time.”

5. She Does Pull-Ups

As you can see in her post, Martin likes to do pull-ups to stay fit. Gymless states that these have a lot of benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

Sonia Isaza, a renowned fitness influencer, has built a large following by sharing her rigorous workouts on Instagram. Recently, she posted a clip highlighting her favorite upper body exercises, from lifting weights to push-ups, dressed in sleek black workout attire. Her post, captioned, “GOOD GOOD MORNING! 🙋🏽 ♀️Top rail work today! With the teacher @belen_workouts 🔥💪🏽,” showcases her dedication to strength and muscle definition. With her diverse workout routine, Isaza is committed to achieving and maintaining a powerful physique, inspiring her followers to embrace fitness for both health and resilience.


1. She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram video, Isaza is seen using a large dumbbell, a smaller one, and hand ones. Lifting weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

2. She Does Bicep Curls

Sonia Isaza.2Sonia Isaza/Instagram

Isaza is seen doing bicep curls with the smaller dumbbell in her Instagram video. Gymless states that this exercise has a lot of benefits, since it works a lot of muscles at once. “The primary muscles worked are the biceps and latissimus dorsi. The secondary muscles worked are the pectoralis major, rear deltoids, traps, teres major, abdominals, obliques, forearms, and posterior and anterior deltoid.”

3. She Does Push-Ups

Sonia Isaza.3Sonia Isaza/Instagram

Isaza is also seen doing push-ups in her Instagram video. This exercise is very beneficial. NASM states, “A push-up is an exercise you can do anytime, anywhere, but only if you learn the how, what, when, and why of it. Incredibly, this ONE exercise can help you torch calories, build and tone muscle, gain strength, and positively impact your overall fitness, function, and performance. Due to its versatility, mastering this exercise can be vital to unlocking your true fitness potential.”

4. She Does Tricep Curls

Sonia Isaza.4Sonia Isaza/Instagram

Isaza is seen doing tricep exercises, like curls, in her Instagram video. Doing tricep exercises has a lot of benefits. An essay in the IPL states, “Triceps are major muscles of the upper body which are useful for the movement of the arm. The triceps play a crucial role in ensuring that our shoulders are well-balanced. Arm flabbiness is a result of excess fat which results from changes that occur with age. Hormonal changes as one grows older cause a reduction in metabolic rate which means that fewer calories are burned during the day.”

5. She Does Ab Workouts

Isaza does a lot of ab workouts to stay in shape. In this Instagram video, she is seen doing things like plank slides and plank holds. The Mayo Clinic states that core workouts are very important. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

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.”

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.
