So You Think You Can Dance star Allison Holker is opening up about her healing journey after losing husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss in 2022. Holker, 36, is partnering with CorePower Yoga, and shared a video of herself wearing leggings and a black shirt, meditating on a yoga mat. “Allison tells how yoga and movement have been key elements in her mental health journey and she’s eager to share what she’s learned. We’re grateful for Allison’s inspirational story to encourage others and shine a light on the healing powers of yoga,” reads the caption on the post. Here’s what Holker’s wellness regimen looks like.

1. Dancing Safe Space


Holker says dance is her safe space. “It’s always been there for me,” she told CorePower Yoga. “I love to make people feel something. As I move forward in my dance career, I hope to encourage the next generation of dancers to become the best versions of themselves and believe in their own artistry and let it shine.”

2. Cold Plunges and Sauna Sessions

Holker enjoys cold plunges and sauna sessions. “[Cold plunging] just starts my day from a place of, ‘I can do the hard things, I can make it.’ It centers me–it's my meditation–it centers my mind,” she told Women’s Health. “I call these my non-negotiables, and everyone knows I do it. It's in my schedule and I'm dedicated to it. I think it's been something that's really helped me in every aspect of my life, and I don't see myself ever letting go of these things that are so crucial to me.”

3. Cardio Yoga

Holker loves hybrid yoga sessions. “I really found my home in CorePower, specifically in Yoga Sculpt,” she says. “I love the cardio element - it’s fun and active and keeps me sweating. It’s been so helpful for me to really touch on all three components of mental health - the physical, the mental, and the spiritual.”

4. Accept Support

Holker says it’s important to know when to accept support from others. “Lean on your people,” she told Women’s Health. “Let them help you so you can take care of yourself first and foremost … It's like what they say on flights, to put the oxygen mask on yourself first, before you put on someone else’s. Take care of yourself. I would love to tell people to reach out to a therapist if they’re low, to talk to a friend if they’re low. But sometimes people are scared to use their words. So, then move your body.”

5. Yoga and Healing

For Holker, yoga has served as both a physical workout and a space for healing. “It was like I just needed that environment. And I didn't know how much I needed it,” she told Women’s Health. “It just became like this big party of celebration…it felt like we were in Ibiza. I love that [yoga] meets all three entities for me: the physical, the mental, and the spiritual, all in one. After everything, when I started moving again, I started going three times a week. Yoga was there for me.”

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Becky G is hitting the gym in her workout gear. In a new mirror selfie, the singer shows off her super fit figure – including her flat abs – during an exercise session. In the photos she wears a green, two-piece set. “‘One day’ is not on the calendar 🗓️,” she captioned the set of Instagram snaps. “Let's go 💪👏,” captioned trainer Senada Greca. “Baddie,” commented another follower. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Prioritizing Routine

In an interview with E News, Becky explained how her relationship with self-care has evolved over the years. "Health and wellness is something that, as I've gotten older, I've dedicated myself to more," she said. "For me, prioritizing routine—and it's very hard with what I do—but finding ways to do things for me because I do so much for everybody else around me."

2. Healthy Diet

Becky also makes healthy eating a priority. “But what I put into my body matters, so I try to be as healthy as I possibly can,” she tells E.

3. Working Out Because She “Wants To”

"I love working out now more than ever," she added to E, "three years ago, there was a version of me that would never say that.” She also changed the way she views exercise. "It's different when it comes from a place of wanting to versus having to," she says. "And I've learned when I want to do these things, there's no stopping me. And I think, the why behind it. Who are you doing it for? If not for you, then chances are, you're not going to really keep up with it."

4. Consistency with Exercise

"Consistency is key,” when it comes to exercise, per Becky. "Even if I go five days without working out," she continued, "and I only get to work out one day out of the week—even if it's a home work out, even if it's stretch, even if it's going outside for a walk—I try to be as consistent as I can be."

5. Pushing Herself to Work Out Even When She Doesn’t Want To

"There's times where I'm so tired but then I do five push ups, get my blood pumping, and it's like, now I can get through the day," she told E. "Those are the peaks I've noticed with my mental health. S--t can totally be hitting the fan, but I go to the gym and I have a session with my trainer, and I come out, like, you know what, you may not be able to control everything else around you but you did that."

Kelsey Heenan is a very successful fitness influencer. She just shared a new workout video on Instagram. In it, Heenan uses resistance bands and weights. She is seen doing exercises like Bulgarian split squats with a kettlebell, pull-ups, and side squats with a kettlebell and resistance band. She captioned the post, “Keep going. One day…one hour…one minute at a time.👊” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kelsey Heenan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Squats

As you can see from her recent Instagram post, Heenan doesn’t skip leg day. One of the exercises she enjoys doing are different kinds of squats. According to Allina Health, squats are a great exercise to incorporate into your routine. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

2. She Works Her Entire Body

Heenan makes sure to work her entire body. She shared her go-to circuit in this Instagram video. Heenan captioned the post, “4 Exercise Total Body Workout with PowerBlock! Here’s your workout: ✔️Seated Overhead Press. ✔️ Front Squat. ✔️ Renegade Row. ✔️ Reverse Lunge Knee Raise. 40-seconds on, 20-second rest on each exercise. 4-5 rounds. Rest 1-minute between rounds.”

3. She’s Setting Boundaries

Heenan revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that she is working on setting boundaries in her life. She also revealed how she is changing things in the caption “As a recovering People Pleaser, here are some phrases I have picked up along the way as I practice setting boundaries and advocating for my own needs. 1️⃣ ‘Thank you, but my plate is already as full as I’d like.’ (Thank you for teaching me this one @themollygalbraith!) 2️⃣’I can’t make it that day.’ (No excuse needed). 3️⃣’Thank you for understanding.’ When saying no, thanking them for understanding has been helpful for me to relieve that dissonant feeling of potential frustration or disappointment to make it more seamless to move forward.”

4. She Has A Minimal Wellness Routine

Heenan shared her healthy habits in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “GRWM for a day of training! I like to keep my routines minimal, but be the most optimized. I don’t want to feel like I have a super long check list of things to do every morning, so periodically I evaluate my habits to see if they are serving me well. Here are the things that I focus on right now: ✔️Drinking water. ✔️ @joiwomenswellness smart supplements. ✔️Read while I drink coffee and have breakfast. It’s not much, but the simplicity works for me, especially on days when I’m on the go.”

5. She Improves Her Diet

Heenan shared her secrets for staying consistent with her diet in this Instagram post. “How do you reprogram to focus on the areas you want to improve? Here are three things that can help get the ball rolling: 1️⃣Create a realistic plan with built in flexibility. 2️⃣Switch the mindset to making it a lifestyle instead of a short term plan you are on. Choosing nutritious food often is a piece of who you are, not a short term quick fix diet. 3️⃣Regularly reflect on how it is going, recalibrate with what you want to adjust, and move forward doing the best you can each day. These concepts can be used far beyond food and really adjusted to any area you want to improve. With time, consistency, practice, and grace with yourself, making it a habit will be all the difference!”

Ellie Gonsalves is a model and fitness expert. She placed second on the 2022 series of Big Brother VIP in Australia. Gonsalves is open about her fitness secrets. She shared a reel on Instagram in July of herself talking about her wellness routine. Gonsalves captioned the post, “Identify yourselves.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ellie Gonsalves stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Doesn’t Over-Exercise

Gonsalves makes sure to work out consistently. However, she does Body + Soul that she doesn’t like to pressure herself or over-exercise. “Everything in moderation,” she said. ““I don’t really pressure myself to do something every single day. I think that’s where it starts to get a bit obsessive. It’s just about keeping active as much as I can, while still enjoying it – and I think a lot of people can relate to that.”

2. She Researched Health

Gonsalves shared her wellness secrets with Body + Soul. She says that she did a lot of research to find the best options. “When I started to really focus on my health and well-being, it was mainly the aesthetics that was motivating me to really get into health and fitness. I literally just went and researched as much as I possibly could to figure out how I could be as healthy as I could to have a really amazing career as a model.”

3. She Believes In Moderation With Her Diet

Gonsalves also believes in moderation when it comes to her diet. “You need to be able to go work out and enjoy, but also go out and enjoy life and not sit in a restaurant with all of your friends and be like ‘I can't eat that because it's not on my meal plan’,” she told FEMAIL. “I found that consistency has been the best part of my transformation, having a consistent meal plan that's healthy and clean and you do that 80 percent of the time and the other 20 percent indulge and have doughnuts and whatever it is you want.”

4. She Meal Preps

Ellie GonsalvesEllie Gonsalves/Instagram

Gonsalves shared her tips for healthy eating with FEMAIL. “I'll meal prep as well, I love to meal prep. Whenever I'm on the go, I'll grab it from the fridge and chuck it in the microwave and I'm ready to go. My lunch is super nutritious as well which keeps my energy levels up which is what I need because when I crash I turn into hangry Ellie and that's not good for anyone.”

5. She Ignores Her Weight

When it comes to posting her fitness secrets, Gonsalves ignores her weight. “I don’t share my weight, before or after; I was taught that the most important thing to remember is muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less room in the room,” she told Body + Soul. “I personally believe it’s not about ‘weight’; a big mistake a lot of people make is they go on weight loss as progress when it’s body fat percentage and lean muscle mass that should be the focus… so instead of sharing my ‘weight’, I share my progress, my transformation photos, and experiences about how this lifestyle transformed by skin, health and energy levels – that speaks volumes.”

Celebrity trainer Alice Veglio is sharing a mobility yoga workout with her many fans and followers. Veglio, 28, posted a video of herself wearing a one-piece workout outfit, doing a mat yoga session. “Perform this practice in the morning: at least 40 seconds duration for each position. Mobility exercises improve the interaction of muscles during movement, give you more strength and endurance. Within the holistic Bright & Fit program you can take yoga, mobility and Pilates classes at home or wherever you want, whenever you want,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the Italian beauty stays fit, strong, and energized.


1. Holistic Health Philosophy

Veglio has a “holistic philosophy” when it comes to her training routine. “It consists of 3 fundamental elements: holistic training, flexible nutrition and mindset,” she told Women Fitness. “From a training point of view, in view of my triathlon competitions, I dedicate from 14 to 20 hours a week to physical activity. My workouts are dedicated to Yoga/flexibility (3 hours a week), Muscle toning (4 hours a week), and endurance activities in running, swimming and cycling (12 hours a week). To these hours are added the hours dedicated to recording my fitness program and the lessons I take with my students.”

2. Vegetarian Diet

Alice.VeglioAlice Veglio/Instagram

Veglio follows a vegetarian diet with plenty of home cooking. “As far as food is concerned, I follow a vegetarian and homemade diet,” she told Women Fitness. “I love preparing genuine and fresh dishes complete with all the macronutrients. I see in every food I eat beneficial properties to give energy to my body and my mind. I love making easy, quick and tasty fit recipes within everyone’s reach and able to show that you don’t have to give up on taste when you follow a healthy diet.”

3. She’s a Runner

Veglio ran a 10K in Yas Island, Dubai, and placed 5th. “After four days of flooding, endless hours of cleaning and work, and very little sleep, we decided not to give up. We rented a car since ours were unusable after the flood, and we challenged ourselves with the Yas Island 10 KM City Half Marathon 💪🏻. Securing 5th place overall out of more than 80 female athletes made me extremely grateful to my body and mind for not giving up and supporting me through this challenge as well!” she captioned the post.

4. Daily Meditation

Veglio meditates every day. “Mindset is the third pillar of my Holistic Routine,” she told Women Fitness. “I dedicate the first minutes of the morning and the last minutes of the day to mindset exercises and meditation. My motto is ‘mens sana in corpore sano’. I could never think of feeling good about myself without dealing with body-mind and spirit in a synergistic way. This approach of mine completely permeates my holistic program allowing every woman to apply it to her own life.”

5. Wellness First

Veglio is interested in well-being, first and foremost. "I want to deal with well-being. Not intended only to get yourself in shape,” La Stampa. “I want to make people, women, feel good in their own bodies. Fashion imposes stereotypical standards. I believe in the beauty of feeling at ease and this is thanks to contact with nature. The mountains [of the Aosta Valley], the walks, the small community are aspects of my region that I carry always with me and that me and me inspire me.”

Gabby Allen, the reality star and personal trainer, is no stranger to showing off her toned body. Her Instagram is full of revealing photos and videos. Allen just posted a new reel on Instagram. In it, she posed by the pool in a striped bikini. She captioned the reel, “No filter needed.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gabby Allen 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 Does Bodyweight Exercises

Before going to the Love Island house, Allen was sequestered in a hotel room. She was without her phone, so she decided to do some exercises. Allen tells The Sun that she did bodyweight exercises in her room. "I didn’t have weights with me and there was no chance of going to a class, so I invented my own high-energy bodyweight workouts.”

2. She’s Consistent

Allen’s wellness routine is all about consistency. She encourages her followers to do the same. She tells The Sun, "If you stick to the plan, in four weeks’ time you’ll have toned up your legs, have more visible abs and drop a dress size. You will feel more confident both in and out of your clothes. It won’t be easy but it will be worth it.”

3. She Focuses On Health

For Allen, working out isn’t about losing weight. It’s about getting healthy. And she encourages her clients and followers to do the same. She tells The Sun, “The best thing anyone can say to me is, ‘You look healthy’. Not, ‘You look skinny’. Healthy is the best look. It comes with a glow and a bounce, because happiness is far more important than your physical shape — it’s a feeling inside.”

4. She Doesn’t Diet

In addition to her fitness routine, Allen also has an eating plan. She tells The Sun that she doesn’t recommend going on diets, and focuses on preparing healthy meals. “I learned the hard way that complicated diets are not sustainable. With these meals, there is no need for calorie counting (they are naturally lower in calories) or miserable weigh-ins that make you feel bad. And you will still be able to go out and have a laugh.”

5. She Does HIIT

Allen likes to do HIIT workouts. She shared some of her favorite exercises in a live YouTube video with Women’s Health. In it, Allen is seen doing exercises like knee hugs, lunges, and squats. Allen aims to do HIIT workouts that don’t cause a lot of straining on your body. "The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer," says St. Clair Health.

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

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.

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.
