Ali Wentworth is getting her sweat on in her workout clothes. In a new post the actress and comedian who is married to George Stephanopoulos, shows off her fit figure and impressive dance moves during a workout session. “I’m supposed to be lifting weights, but music just moves me…..” she captioned the clip. “Yes. Ali at the gym. Doing gym things. HER way,” commented Paulina Porizkova. “This is amazing,” added Kira Stokes.


1. Dancing

In her latest post, Ali demonstrates the physical health benefits of dancing. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but 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 heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

2. Weightlifting

Ali revealed in the same post that she lifts weights. 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

3. Coffee and Tea

When detailing her morning to Bon Appetit, Ali revealed that he starts with coffee then moves on to tea in the morning. “I have to have a cup of PG Tips tea because I can't even function without it,” she told Bon Appetit. She then drinks a glass of fresh squeezed OH and then moves onto steel-cut oatmeal with brown sugar and cream. “Yes, I said it, ladies: brown sugar and cream.”

4. Walking

Ali also walks her dogs. “Is it sexy? No. Is it warm? Hell yes. At a certain age is that the priority? Oh yeah…. #AdultOnesie #TheNewbikiniShot,” she joked in a post wearing a onesie. “For those who keep asking (this is not a promotion) my onesie is from @canadagoose.” 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.

5. Meditation

Ali meditates. “Going into 2024 full Zen….” she captioned a post of herself. “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Jordyn Woods In Workout Gear Says “No Better Feeling Than a Strong Lift”

“No better feeling than ending your Friday with a strong lift 💪."

Jordyn Woods says she works out for the mental and well as physical benefits—so no wonder the socialite wrapped up the week on a euphoric note. Woods, 26, shared a selfie of herself wearing black workout gear in her car, fresh from an intense strength training workout. “No better feeling than ending your Friday with a strong lift 💪,” she captioned the post. Woods has lost weight, gained strength, and looks better than ever—here’s what her fitness and training routine looks like.


1. Proud of Her Progress

Jordyn.WoodsJordyn Woods/Instagram

Woods is thrilled when she sees her own fitness progress. "I have a love-hate relationship with cardio,” she told E! News. “Weights, squats, I feel like it all plays an important role. Just staying consistent and doing something everyday whether it's walking, jogging, squats, weights at home or going to the gym. I feel like a little bit of something every day is very helpful. I look back to videos of me working out five months ago or two months ago and I'm like, ‘Wow!' Because I do it everyday, so much has changed so fast."

2. Weight Loss Through Hard Work

Woods says she lost weight “the traditional way”, and worked hard for great results. “One of my favorite workouts to do involves a couple of various things. I like to challenge myself with sumo squats, starfish toe touches, scissor leg raises and lying knee tucks,” she told Hollywood Life. “I will do twelve to fifteen reps of those and repeat it three to four times. If you are not sweating after that and don’t get a good workout from there I don’t know what to say because that gets me going and really is something that works pretty great for me. If you check my app, you will see how I do it. I would love to see how others react to it and what they get out of it themselves!”

3. Empowered By Workouts

Woods admits going to the gym is still sometimes nerve-racking, but loves how she feels afterwards. “Going to the gym can always be intimidating because you never know who's going to be there, or what you're going to do — especially if you've never worked out before,” she told Teen Vogue. “I still get intimidated sometimes going to the gym. But you always leave the gym feeling more empowered than you did than when you came.”

4. Resistance Band Workouts

Woods takes resistance bands with her when she’s traveling. “I love to do workouts with bands,” she told Hollywood Life “I will just use bands and anything you can find around the house because not all the time can I go to the gym, so me being on the road all the time and traveling it all has to be about convenience for me at the end of the day. So, doing banded workouts is super helpful and to mix it up with the bands is the way to go.”

5. Mental Health Benefits

Woods works out for the mental health benefits over vanity. “For me, working out wasn't to ever look a certain way, it was for my physical health but more importantly, my mental health,” she told Teen Vogue. “I feel like mental health is not something people are vocal enough about, but it’s something that everyone struggles with. I push it away, other people's opinions, because as long as I'm happy, it doesn't really matter what anyone has to say. I'm the person in my skin. I'm the person in my own body. And a lot of people just need to love themselves and focus on them and they wouldn't be worried about what anyone else is doing.”

Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley is at the gym in her two-piece Alo Yoga workout outfit. In a new social media post shared by Alo, the supermodel strikes a pose pre-workout, showing off her incredibly fit figure – including her flat abs – in a white sports bra and matching shorts. “movement moments,” reads the Instagram caption. How does the supermodel approach fitness? Here is everything we know about her workout routine.


1. Pilates

“I have to really work on my stomach,” she told BAZAAR UK, via Elle. “I’ve found Pilates great because it’s slow and controlled and you really have to think about the muscles you’re working.” Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

2. Skipping

“Skipping is a really good way to get the heart rate up immediately, I’m always out of breath within two minutes,” Rosie told the publication. “Everything’s on YouTube now, too! You can go on there and type in ‘exercise for 10 minutes’ and see what comes up.”

3. Three Gym Workouts Per Week

“I make it a priority to get to the gym around three times a week. Exercise is a huge stress relief for me, and I always feel good when I leave a workout. Getting there, however, is another story!” Rosie told Poosh. Once she gets there, “I do a lot of weight training, circuit training,” she added Marie Claire.

4. Active, No Matter What

“Working out has been part of my life since I can remember. My mom was a fitness instructor in the nineties—very much like an aerobics instructor with the Princess Diana outfit, the whole thing. I grew up sitting at the back of her workout classes. It always makes me laugh because she used to have an “L”l and “R” written on the top of her trainers so she could tell her left from right. Fitness has played a part in my life ever since I can remember, so once I left home, I started going to the gym every day. Now that I have children, I unfortunately don't get to go every day like I would like to, but I definitely go at least four times a week,” Rosie told Marie Claire.

5. Tracy Anderson Method

Rosie is also a fan of dance-inspired workouts. “When I want something upbeat, I’ll head to Tracy Anderson’s studio and Simone De La Rue at Body By Simone. I love their mix of aerobics and dance – their classes are really intense and challenging.

British singer Ellie Goulding entered 2024 fighting fit and ready for action. Goulding, 37, shared a video of herself sparring with trainer Ruth Raper, dressed in black Adidas shorts and a black tank top for her boxing workout. “No cap. Thank you @ruth_london_90 🤙🏼🙃,” she captioned the post. “Well done girl,” Raper commented. Goulding’s relationship with wellness has changed over the years—here’s how she stays fit, happy, and full of energy.


1. Exercise and Smoothies

Goulding starts her day with a good workout before making a green smoothie. “My morning routine will be some kind of workout, whether it’s Barry’s [Bootcamp], yoga, or even a run outside,” she told The Cut. “I go between New York and London so there’s always interesting runs to do. At the moment I’m loving running to Goldie’s I Adore You. I’m such a big fan of old-school U.K. drum and bass. I usually use the Apple/Nike watch to track my runs. I’ll shove a bunch of things in a NutriBullet — kale, cucumber, water. I try and have a smoothie every day, it’s really filling with protein powder. I love using Vega, because it is vegan and tastes fantastic, and maca powder. Spirulina doesn’t taste great but can easily be masked by a banana and some almond butter.”

2. Aspiring Vegan

Baked,Sweet,Potato,Wedges,Salad,With,Cucumber,,Avocado,And,CreamyShutterstock

Goulding calls herself an “aspiring vegan”. “It’s challenging, but not impossible,” she told Shape. “You just have to eat or drink a lot of greens. I make green juice for myself almost every day. I put in things like bananas, avocado, spinach, broccoli, whatever's in my fridge, really. Sweet-potato fries and salad are my absolute favorites. They make the perfect meal. I eat a lot of quinoa and nuts, too, but I also love eating chips. It’s actually easy to be a bad vegan because a lot of junk foods are vegan!”

3. Yoga and Treadmill Workouts

Goulding loves both low-intensity and high-energy workouts. “There is a brilliant online yoga school called YogaGlo. For a monthly subscription you can take any class and you can choose the difficulty level and the duration. It’s perfect for someone always on the move,” she told The Cut. “Barry’s is so good. Especially if you start on the treadmill you have no choice but to get right into it. Your heart rate is up within a couple of minutes. Once your heart rate is up, it’s natural to be in the zone. I think if your heart rate is up, it’s connected to your brain in an animalistic sense — your brain is telling you that you’re ready to fight, you’re ready to go.”

4. Fitness Tips

Goulding knows when her body needs more rest and recovery. “[I] slowed down to the extent that I sometimes ‘did nothing’, which also included reading a book (which is of course ‘doing something’, but you get my point!),” she wrote in her book Fitter. Calmer. Stronger. “If I was feeling stressed, I would swap a run for a gentle yoga session. If I felt overwhelmed, I would go for a gentle jog in a park, focusing on breathing and keeping my pace slow. Only when I felt well rested, had eaten properly and felt like I had the necessary reserves of energy would I allow myself to go all out with a fast run or HIIT session.”

5. Loving Fitness Again

Goulding went from overexercising to developing a more kind and nurturing relationship with fitness. “It was obvious from looking around that it was possible to have a healthy relationship with diet and fitness, and in fact these things could underpin a happy and productive life,” she wrote in her book Fitter. Calmer. Stronger. “As I began to slow down, even occasionally doing nothing (a state which I now cherish), I became determined that I would find a way of balancing all of this so that healthy living was truly healthy and where my physical and mental health could support my life without completely defining it.”

Jennifer Aniston has given us fitness inspiration for almost 30 years, and at 55, she has never seemed so strong and energized. The actress kindly shared her workout on social media, posting a video of herself wearing gray leggings and a black tank top, doing a full-body workout using resistance bands and weights. “If you’re having one of THOSE Mondays, I FEEL YOU 🫵🏼 Just gotta do it!! ❤️💪🏼💋 @pvolve,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Aniston stays happy, healthy, and is always evolving.


1. No More Intense Cardio

Aniston says she had to retrain her brain when it comes to exercise, switching from overly-intense cardio sessions to something more gentle. “It used to be pounding, pounding, pounding,” she told British Vogue. “You had to get 45 minutes to an hour of cardio; otherwise, you weren’t getting a workout. Not only do you stress your body, you burn out – who wants to do that at all?”

2. Those Pvolve Workouts

Aniston swears by Pvolve dance-based resistance workouts to make her look and feel fabulous. “With Pvolve, you can really pick from so many workouts depending on how much time you have, the level of strength that you’re at, and where your body’s at, and you feel energized afterwards,” she told British Vogue. “It’s just good on my body; it’s good to my body. And I feel like I’ve done something really good for myself.”

3. Lots of Quality Sleep

Aniston says lack of sleep had a terrible impact on her health and appearance in the past, which is why she encourages people to take sleep health seriously. “[I thought], 'I got this. I can go the day on five hours of sleep and I'll make up for it over the weekend'… and over time, it was really starting to affect every single part of my daily life," she told USA Today. "We're so arrogant when we're younger. We think, 'ah, I'll sleep when I'm 80. I can't tell you the amount of times I've said that to myself, but you can't make up on lost sleep. It's just a myth."

4. Jump Rope Workouts

Unrecognizable,Woman,Jumping,Over,The,Skipping,Rope,In,Studio,,Crop,Shutterstock

Aniston loves short, effective jump rope sessions. “If I have only five minutes, I'll use them to move my body," she told Shape. "Jumping rope is a killer workout. When my trainer, Leyon, whom I love more than life, handed me a jump rope for the first time, I said, 'You're out of your mind.' I would dread doing it and would skip instead of jump over the rope. He kept saying, 'No, try to do it correctly.' It was so irritating. But within six months, my jumping became fluid. Now I can just go and go and go."

5. Strength With Age

Aniston has no interest in looking the way she did at 20, focusing instead on aging with strength and longevity. "If I tried to look the way I looked at 20, I would not really actually want to do that. It's absolutely impossible," she told USA Today. "I want my body to get strong, because as I get older, I want my body to thrive. We're all going to get older. We're all headed to that exact same spot. But we can take care of our skin. We can have a healthy diet. We can drink lots of water."

Emily Elizabeth is heating up Hawaii – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the model and influencer shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece while on the beaches of the tropical paradise. “Hawaii >> 🌺🌈,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Simply Beautiful ❤️🏖❤,” commented one of her followers. “🔥😍perfect,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Hydration

Emily prioritizes hydration. Not only does she drink water, but also electrolyte enhanced fruit. “Fresh coconut,” she captioned a photo from Bora Bora. According to the Mayo Clinic, 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.

Coffee

Emily enjoys the perks of caffeine. Here she is drinking a cup of coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Snowboarding

While you can usually find Emily in the tropics, sometimes she heads over to the mountains for winter sports. In one of her photos she goes snowboarding. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

Snorkeling

While on vacation Emily throws on a mask and fin and goes snorkeling. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Walking

She also takes her dog for walks. Here she is strolling in Central Park with her pooch. 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.

Emma McQuaid is prepping for her CrossFit competition – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the athlete flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise set while training. “8 weeks to my first Hyrox Sim 🏃♀️Looking forward to upping my run volume over the next 2 months to see how I can fair out before entering my first proper race later in the year. It’s no secret I don’t really enjoy running, I never have but I’m excited to see if I can turn that around this year,” she captioned the Instagram photos. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Is Consistent

If you want to improve your Olympics lifts, Emma suggests maintaining consistency. “Be consistent in your training, it’s vital you continually train all the lifts, not just the ones you like. I used to hate the full snatch and always power snatched everything. Recently though its become the opposite, I love full snatch and need to focus again on my power snatch. Always attack your weaknesses,” she told Boxrox.

Focus on Mobility

When it comes to improving gymnastic skills, Emma says to focus on mobility. “Sometimes is not just learning the skill, it’s having the mobility to be able to do it. I have struggled with handstand walks for over a year now and have practised more than people realise, but recently found out it’s my thoracic and shoulder mobility holding me back. So I have worked on my mobility and I’ve already seen improvements in my handstand walks. I’d also say people need to work the basics more, develop a strong foundation to build the high level movements on,” Emma told Boxrox.

Hydration

Drinking enough water and getting rest is an important component of health. “Eat healthy, drink plenty of water and sleep well is a good recipe for success,” she told Coach Web. According to the Mayo Clinic, 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.

Meal Prep

While Emma doesn’t meal prep, she has her food prepared for her. “All my food is supplied from a local company called Fuel Farm. I usually eat 4-5 times a day. Just depends what my training volume is like that day, I also live on Battle Oats bars between sessions, a great snack that keeps me going and doesn’t fill me up,” she says.

Balanced Diet

Emma maintains a balanced diet. “I personally think a lot of athletes in CrossFit under eat. Avoiding carbs or limiting them isn’t a good idea when you train at high intensity. I eat some junk everyday because I find it helps my performance, a 6 pack isn’t going to help me win so it doesn’t bother me, fuelling my body and maintaining the intensity in training is what will help me win. I’ve focused on timing my intake of sugar and it’s only made me better,” she told Boxrox.

Krissy Cela in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "8 Weeks of Lifting"
Getty images

Krissy Cela is a fitness trainer on the Evolve You app and influencer. Recently, she has been documenting her process of losing pregnancy weight on Instagram. In a recent post, Cela revealed that she had been consistently weight training. She captioned it, “8 weeks of lifting, not depriving, recovering and sticking to an actual PLAN! Not doing random workouts. All my programs are on the @evolveyou app. I'm currently on the strong program and absolutely loving it! But there are home workouts too. Use code KRISSY for money off! (own brand).”

She Strength Trains

Cela strength trains to keep herself in shape. ACE Fitness says that this has 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.”

She’s Consistent

Cela revealed in the caption of her Instagram post that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness. “So yeah… just keep lifting some heavy iron, don’t really listen to people who tell you not to unless you have an injury of some sort. Eat your fats, carbs and protein and get your steps in. Keep it simple and remember a cute gym set will make you lift heavier 😂Proud of myself because it really wasn’t easy showing up daily ngl.”

She Accepts Herself

Cela talked about her journey to accept herself in the caption of this Instagram post. “When I was growing up, all I ever wanted was to be pretty. I hated the way I looked and felt out of place, especially as the only girl in school with upper lip hair and a foreign background. I resented that my Albanian parents imposed cultural norms that limited what I could wear and how I could express myself. Now, in my 30s, I’ve learned to embrace my roots while also appreciating the many unique qualities I bring to the table that go beyond mere appearances. I didn’t realize how much being creative, strong, and loving would mean to me. I didn’t understand the true value of these qualities until now.”

She Works Her Lower Body

Cela shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “This mammaaa is putting in the work! Loving it so much moving my body and building my strength all over again 💅🏽All workout programs are from the @evolveyou app so if you’re stuck on where to start I really think you should just come and join the party and see what the fuss is all about. (Own brand). Workout: 1. KB RDL: 4 sets till failure 2. BB Reverse lunges: 4 sets 8 reps each leg 3. Hip work: need it my hips are tight: 4 sets each leg 8 reps (great to warm up also) 4. Static lunge: 4 sets 12 reps each leg 5. Also did hip thrust forgot to record 4 sets till failure.”

She Walks

Another thing that Cela does to keep herself in shape is go for walks. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself doing so. Cela shared this set of photos of herself hiking with her dog and partner. She captioned the post, “Postpartum walks! Taking it easy and feeling good! Ad/ Supported by @promix electrolytes in watermelon flavour 💅🏽Set from @oneractive launching 12th December.”
