Amanda Cerny Shows Off Amazing Body "Bringing Back the Queen"

Social media guru Amanda Cerny shares her secrets to staying healthy and happy.

Social media guru Amanda Cerny keeps herself physically and mentally healthy, spending time out in nature, rocking a costume. “Bringing back the Queen 👑 this Halloween 💀,” she said on a series of photos on Instagram of her posing by the water in a rainbow bikini and bright red wig. Here’s how she stays looking and feeling healthy.


She's Grateful For Her Partner

She’s thankful for her partner, writing him a beautiful post for his birthday. “We are such opposites but sooo much alike. Same same but different. We complete one another. My memory is horrible but I do remember the day we first met at 1600 vine building in LA in 2016. I was trying to teach myself how to juggle a soccer ball and you walked up showed me a couple moves like such a gentleman and carried on,” she said on Instagram.

She Loves Dogs

She loves being surrounded by animals, especially dogs. “When you’re only in it for the dogs @theasherhouse @amandacerny 😍🐾,” she said on Instagram on this funny video she made. According to the American Kennel Club, “owning a dog can help you live longer. A comprehensive review of studies published between 1950 and 2019 found that dog owners had a lower risk of death. Studies suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure levels and improved responses to stress. Research has concluded that the bond between humans and dogs reduces stress, which is a major cause of cardiovascular problems.

She Loves Water

She enjoys being on the water, spending time swimming and taking in the view. “Lost at sea🧜🏼♀️ where to next next,” she asked on Instagram on a slideshow of photos of her spending time outdoors. According to Scripps, “natural blue spaces typically go hand-in-hand with natural sunlight, fresh air and low levels of pollution, noise, traffic and crowds. These calmer, quieter environments promote feelings of peacefulness, help us disconnect from our day-to-day routines and pause the nonstop stream of thoughts running through our heads.”

She Dances

She loves to dance to stay active, especially the salsa. “Salsa night is my fav kinda night out! much better than sitting at an over crowded table in a club 😳💃🏻🎶,” she said on Instagram. According to Better Health, “dancing can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It has a wide range of physical and mental benefits including improved condition of your heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, increased aerobic fitness, improved muscle tone and strength, weight management,” and more.

She Has Fun

She loves to live life to the fullest, enjoying everyday life. “You can count on me… to not miss out on any of the fun!!! 🙈🎉🎉,” she said on Instagram on a video of her motorbiking. According to NPR, “two recent books argue that making room for more fun in your life could counteract both the stress and the tendency to escape it by zoning out online. In The Fun Habit: How The Disciplined Pursuit of Joy And Wonder Can Change Your Life, published in January, psychologist Mike Rucker makes the case that pursuit of fun experiences may be even more valuable than seeking the sometimes abstract goal of happiness.”

Diane Lane shared her approach to skincare with The New York Times. “What I do now, I create a mantle when I go to sleep. When I wake up, all I do is spray some Lavender Hydrasol by Arcona and go with my own natural facial oils that I generate through the night. When it comes to choosing which skin-care products I use, I keep going back to the women I actually have a whole lot of respect for. They are facialists who have their own product lines. I throw in some other stuff, too, but in general they are my tried and true.”

4. Amy Adams

Disney's "Disenchanted" Premiere - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2013, while promoting her movie Man of Steel, Amy Adams gave an interview to Allure. In it, she talked about her approach to body image. "Some of these actresses or public personas who are very public about their disciplined diets, more power to them. I just don't see the point. Do you know, the people I love as actresses, I've never, ever sought out pictures of them to see what they look like in a swimsuit."

5. Nicole Kidman

Los Angeles Premiere Of Amazon Studios' "Being The Ricardos" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2014, Nicole Kidman talked about her favorite exercises to the Los Angeles Times. "Variety is the best way I’ve found. If you think you are going to wake up and run five miles every morning for the rest of your life, you’ll get bored and hit the snooze button after a week. So I try and mix it up with sports, running, yoga, and even just going for a walk with my husband and the kids.”

6. Maribel Verdú

Maribel Verdú shared some of her favorite workouts with Women’s Health. “What I want, what I try, what I aspire to is to be in my best 49, 50 and 51 and those that fall. Part of my physique is due to genetics, but I have been practicing yoga for many years. I walk as if there was no tomorrow, and twice a week I do functional strength training: fitball, rubber bands, TRX ... Wherever I am.”

7. Sasha Calle

Sasha Calle opened up about playing Supergirl to the Dallas Observer. "With Supergirl, it really felt as if it were written in the stars and I think the universe knew what it was doing.

8. Amber Heard

We also did a tonne of side-series outer thigh work, targeting outer glutes with high reps and low weights, to pull her muscles in and creative a beautiful line from the waist to the upper thigh."

10. Diane Guerrero

I'm not saying, ‘Hey, self care is just taking a bath or a shower….’ Generally, I kind of just stay clean. And I try to remember everything that I have, like stuff that makes me feel better.”

11. Melissa Benoist

Melissa Benoist opened up about how she got in shape to play Supergirl on The CW series to TrainForHer.com. “I do a lot of boxing, Pilates and then some strength training. There is a lot of core work and it’s quite ab-centric. Core strength is a big thing with this role, as there’s a lot of wirework so you need to be able to carry your whole bodyweight when you’re up in the air.”

12. Emily Bett Rickards

71st Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

After starring on Arrow, Emily Bett Rickards told Collider in 2019 that she wanted to change some things in her life. “I think I’m going to take a break for awhile, and do a little bit of theater, coming up in New York (Reborning at the SoHo Playhouse from July 5th through August 3rd). And then, after that, I’m hoping to continue doing theater for a little bit longer. My friends are a bunch of creative geniuses, so no matter what, that’s the way I’m going right now. I’ll never say no to doing TV again. For now, life has changed dramatically, already.”

13. Katie Cassidy

While starring on Arrow, Katie Cassidy talked to InStyle about her diet. “It’s a lot of protein, vegetables, greens and skipping the red meat. I’ve been like that for a very long time; it’s just a personal preference. Always do the same breakfast: smoked salmon, poached eggs, avocado, multi-grain toast, grapefruit juice, and coffee.”

14. Candice Patton

Candice Patton talked about her wellness routine in an interview with BlackDoctor.org. “I force myself to make time. I love my job, but being on set all day sometimes gets tiring, but either working out before or after or even during break.

15. Chyler Leigh

In 2019, Chyler Leigh revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She talked about this in an interview with Prevention. “I was so terrified because of my past,” she says. “I was so worried about turning into all of the things I hated when I was growing up, but it was life or death. I was going to make a change, or I wouldn’t be here anymore.”

16. Danielle Panabaker

Danielle Panabaker talked about playing the role of Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost on The Flash to Comic Book Resources, and expressed her gratitude. “I feel so lucky. Everything about this show is uncommon. It's uncommon to do 184 episodes. It's uncommon to get to play so many characters over that time. It keeps it exciting. It's a lot of fun.”

17. Ciara Renee

In addition to her role on Legends of Tomorrow, Ciara Renee is also a Broadway star. She opened up about how she stays fit during shows to FitForBroadway.com. “There'll be times when I do yoga 3-5 times a week, run once or twice, see my personal trainer for strength training, and take a cycling class on the side. But there are definitely other weeks where I get busy and end up only doing the 7-Minute workout app every day, and just let that and the show be my workout. I try to be active everyday, unless I've decided I really need a recovery day. Those days usually consist of a massage (because duh), a lot of food, a good nap, and a TON of water.”

18. Tala Ashe

Tala Ashe opened up about playing Zari on Legends of Tomorrow to Comicbook.com. "I was really nervous about it coming into the world," Ashe admitted. "I felt like I had a really good time filming it. It was the kind of experience I like to have, which is, I'm overwhelmed and I'm challenged in a wonderful way. And I had a lot of support from the writers and from the director, Ben Bray, who I really collaborated well with. But after that, I don't remember exactly how many months it was we had to wait until it was in the world. It happens often as an actor, where when you're doing something it's very different than what you end up seeing. And I'm particularly hard on myself. Maybe they sent me a cut like a week before or something, but I hadn't really seen it until about the time that the public did, so I was nervous and it was an enormous relief [when the episode aired]."

19. Juliana Harkavy

Juliana Harkavy talked about starring on Arrow to Marie Claire. “Playing Dinah has made me a healthier, happier person. Because she is so strong and skilled, I eat cleaner, workout more, and take time to breathe and meditate so I can do her justice.”

20. Gal Gadot

In order to play Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot has to be in great shape. She turns to trainer Magnus Lygdback to help her. Lygdback talked about Gadot’s process for getting in shape for Wonder Woman 1984 to The Hollywood Reporter. “We weren’t going for the most muscle mass possible. We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.”

Gabrielle Epstein is "the Queen Elizabeth"

How can incorporating these elements into your life improve your overall health and well-being?

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.

Gabrielle Epstein is a very successful influencer. She has a large following on Instagram and YouTube. Last month, Epstein shared a carousel post on her Instagram page. In it, she is seen at the beach, spending time with her dog, spending time with her friends, and using a facial mask. Epstein captioned the post, “Stories are for 24 hours, posts are forever.”

She Spends Time With Her Dog

Epstein features her dog a lot on her Instagram, including in her recent post. Having a dog has a lot of health benefits. Harvard Health states, “Dog owners are less prone to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed. One of the greatest benefits of owning a dog is that it encourages you to practice mindfulness — being in the present moment and fully appreciating life. Mindfulness can help you relieve stress and also improves your overall health.”

She Rides Horses

Dogs aren’t the only animal Epstein spends time with. She also loves riding horses. Epstein shared this photo and these videos on Instagram of herself riding on the beach. She captioned the post, “The world needs more cowgirls.” The American Heart Association states that riding has a lot of benefits. “A study commissioned on behalf of the British Horse Society found that horseback riding is indeed a good cardiovascular workout. Even just half an hour of riding is considered moderate exercise, while trotting exerts more energy than playing badminton.

She Loves Fruit

Epstein is seen enjoying a plate of fruit in this Instagram post. Eating fruit has a lot of benefits. The American Heart Association states, “When you eat many different types of fruits and vegetables, you’ll get a variety of vitamins and minerals to support good health. The American Heart Association suggests filling half your plate with fruits and veggies as a way to meet the recommendation of 2 1/2 cups of vegetables and 2 cups of fruit each every day.”

She Does Squats

Epstein shared this YouTube video of herself doing ab and lower body workouts. One exercise she is seen doing in it is squats with a resistance band. Allina Health states that squats have a lot of benefits. “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.”

She Works Her Abs

Gabby Epstein and friends do absolutely work outside.

Epstein is seen doing ab workouts in her YouTube video. Harvard Health states that core workouts have a lot of benefits. “Think of your core muscles as the sturdy central link in a chain connecting your upper and lower body. Whether you're hitting a tennis ball or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core, or move through it. No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make. Properly building up your core cranks up the power. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do.”

1. Lili Reinhart

Riverdale star, Lili Reinhart, has no time for society’s standards. She opened up about her reasons for speaking out in an interview with IndieWire. "Sometimes I do feel like a little bit of the black sheep speaking out," said Reinhart. "'Why is no one else saying anything about this?' Then I realize why they're not saying anything about it because the second I do, here come 30 articles saying that I'm 'slamming' a celebrity. I'm actually just sharing an opinion that is incredibly important to me."

2. Camila Mendes

Riverdale star Camila Mendes is living a more low-key life. “I think before the pandemic, I was running a mile a minute,” she told SELF. “And being forced to stop and take stock of my priorities was very life-changing. I think when something like a pandemic happens, it just puts everything into perspective, and you realize how short life is. You start to think about how you want to live it, and what you could do differently. So I think in many ways, I’ve reevaluated my priorities and started to sit with myself more. And I think a lot of people have done that. It’s good.

3. Madelaine Petsch

2019 ELLE Women In Hollywood - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Riverdale star, Madelaine Petsch talked about her diet and workout in an interview with People. “I’ve been plant-based my whole life,” she said. “Being vegan keeps my body fueled and running smoothly…I exercise for an hour and a half: a 2 to 3 mile run, and then muscle training…I’m not always able to plan ahead. My diet works for me because I can be very flexible about what I eat in a day.”

4. Bridget Moynahan

Blue Bloods star, Bridget Moynahan, shared her approach to fitness with Us Weekly. “I know everybody would love to hear about a secret pill or great cleanse,” she said. “It’s just going back to what we were taught in school … Eating and working out…I’ve just always been active. It’s been part of my lifestyle my entire life. It’s been instilled from my childhood.”

5. Jennifer Landon

"The Front Runner" New York PremiereDaniel Zuchnik/WireImage

Yellowstone star, Jennifer Landon, is a big supported of PanCan. She shared why in an interview with Morning Honey. "When I would talk to my general practitioner about getting a genetic test or genetic testing for pancreatic cancer, they would sort of look at me like, 'I don’t know what those tests are,'" she reveals. "So, it was more that a lot of doctors weren’t really aware of the tests that I needed and that is where PanCan can come in. If you reach out to patient services with them, they can sort of hold your hand and guide you through that."

6. Daisy Haggard

Sky "Up Next" ArrivalsEamonn M. McCormack/Getty Images

Breeders star, Daisy Haggard, opened up about motherhood in an interview with Grazia Daily. “Having children is liberating because, at the moment, nothing is as important, so that really helps me with big decisions and things that used to scare me. It helps me put those things in perspective. I used to agonise about my decisions regarding work, where as now it’s really simple: is it worth not seeing the kids that day? [I feel like] my whole life, I sat in the flat in my pants and didn’t achieve much and then
I had kids and suddenly had no time, was absolutely exhausted, and found myself achieving more than I had before, so that was a revelation. I think I had the luxury of too much time and not enough discipline. Now, when I’m away from them, I’m not going to waste that.”

7. Amanda Peet

2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/Getty Images

In a 2016 interview with Glamour, Fatal Attraction star, Amanda Peet, opened up about teaching her daughters healthy habits. “I have daughters, so I try not to have that calorie-counting mentality. I try not to expose them to that because I think girls should just play sports and not think about food until as late as possible.”

8. Missy Peregrym

FBI star, Missy Peregrym shared her skincare routine in an interview with Watch Magazine. "I really didn't have one until my facialist told me off, ha ha! So, now I use iS Clinical to help with hydrating and keeping my breakouts to a minimum. My three favorites from the line are the Reparative Moisture Emulsion, Active Serum, and Hydra-Cool Serum. I also love the Royal Oil Moisturizer from Bee Pure Apitherapy because it's super light and truly organic, and it's great at helping with dehydration from flying and changing climates. I even use it on my lips."

9. Hannah Einbinder

74th Primetime Emmys - ArrivalsMomodu Mansaray/Getty Images

Hacks star, Hannah Einbinder opened up about her career in an interview with People. "I had to learn a lot on my own," she says. "There's no other way. I started open mics right after college and no one can prepare you for that. I was out there, going all over the city, every single night of the week after my coffee shop job, with like, an almond milk-soaked flannel. Failing and succeeding and failing and succeeding for years. There's really nothing anyone can do. You just have to do it. You have to be obsessed with it and addicted to it, and I certainly was."

10. Elizabeth Tulloch

Elizabeth “Bitsie” Tulloch currently plays Lois Lane on Superman & Lois. She shared some of her workouts in an interview. “I take private Pilates and gyrotonic sessions 2-3 times a week. I love Pilates because it strengthens my core and gyrotonics because it strengthens my back. I have minor scoliosis so I try not to run too much, and I’ve found that Pilates and gyrotonics are really effective ways of staying in shape without doing too much high-impact cardio.”

11. Danielle Pinnock

76th Annual Tony Awards - ArrivalsDominik Bindl/Getty Images

Ghosts star Danielle Pinnock recently wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post about body-shaming. In it, she talked about the need to advocate for herself with doctors. “At 16 years old, I lost 50 pounds by living on protein bars and diuretics; I received celebration and praise. Then my father died, and in my grief, I gained twice the weight I’d lost. For decades, I struggled to reach an elusive number on the scale, binge eating and battling bulimia. I have tried every diet imaginable, including the notorious ‘Weigh Down’ scam, which encourages people to pray away their hunger. When I see the doctor, I must strenuously advocate for myself because physicians assume all my ailments stem from my size.”

12. Queen Latifah

BET Awards 2021 - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Queen Latifah has done a lot in her career. She currently stars on CBS’ drama series The Equalizer. She opened up about how her health affects her career choices in an interview with People. "Health is most important to me. It's not about losing weight or gaining weight. When I want to lose weight, or gain weight, I know how to do it in a healthy way. So if I have to do something that is going to be completely unhealthy for me, then that's not the job for me. Someone else should have that job that's already there… It's called No."

13. Amanda Brugel

During the COVID-19 pandemic, The Handmaid’s Tale star, Amanda Brugel began cooking for her family. She shared one of her favorite healthy recipes with Fashion Magazine. “I’m mid dinner prep which is my second gift from COVID-19, because I did not cook before this mess. I would dabble. Reheat. Definitely dine out. Or, wait for my amazing mother to show up with foods. But, tonight I am making Butter Chicken with garlic naan and I haven’t set anything on fire and it smells almost good.”

14. Emily Osment

Emily Osment is currently starring on CBS’ Young Sheldon, a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory. In 2018, the final season of her previous show, Young & Hungry was airing. During then, Osment opened up about her mental wellbeing in this Tweet. “Special shout out to mental health. Your own sanity is so much more important than anything else. Weird seeing this season’s young and hungry from over a year ago when I was 20lbs heavier and deeply sad. Get yourself right. Get yourself first. It all falls in line.”

15. Jenna Dewan

She opened up about her diet in an interview with People. “I consider eating healthy a way of life because I feel better, plain and simple,” she says. “I’m not a fan of dieting, which is why I choose to eat healthy most of the time. I keep it in balance, so I don’t have to crash diet. When I want to splurge I allow myself and don’t beat myself up — I just make a plan to eat extra healthy the next day or work out.”

Niecy Nash has starred in several TV shows. She currently stars on ABC’s The Rookie: Feds. Nash opened up about her self-care routine in an interview with Parade. “I do have a massage therapist come to me once a week. So that helps. Soaking in the tub with a glass of wine is always a good go-to. My children are always up for a good time. They make me laugh so much and so sometimes, if I can't get home to where they are, I'll send for them to come to where I am. And I purpose to laugh every day. I don't care what the day brings, I have to find a place for laughter and that really feeds my soul.”

Danielle Savre plays a female fire-fighter on Station 19. She opened up about the importance of the role in an interview with StyleCaster. “I never saw a female firefighter on television before. Never. I watched ‘Ladder 49’ and ‘Backdraft.’ I loved those films. But never once did it cross my mind that I could do that. Now, when a teacher asks a little girl what she wants to be when she grows up, she can be anything. She can be a firefighter. She can be in the air force or in the marines. Girls can go to the moon now. This is doable.”

In a 2016 interview with People, iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove talked about her journey to self-acceptance. “I’m at a place where I’m like really comfortable in my own skin,” says Cosgrove. “I don’t worry anywhere near as much as I used to.

Singer and Girls5eva star, Sara Bareilles, opened up about how she is taking care of her mental health and wellbeing on Instagram. “It has been a very low year for me with regard to my mental health, and I am also grateful that part of the reason I can touch my joy again is I finally got the help of some medication. It’s been a journey to try and pull up, and I found this year I needed more help. It is helping. I am relieved and feel more like myself- and I will find my way again and now it feels possible.”

Linda Hamilton is best known for appearing in the Terminator film series. In 2019, she opened up about how she got in shape for Terminator: Dark Fate to InStyle. “Mackie Shilstone was my fantastic trainer,” Hamilton revealed. “He’s a legend and crosses over into every sport. And he understands the body in motion. Peyton Manning has even trained with Shilstone to prepare for the Super Bowl. I got to work with him because Serena Williams was pregnant. It was a wonderful accident of timing. Yes, we lifted and pumped weight and cross-trained; there were Pilates, supplements, and a diet. I didn’t eat carbohydrates for a year and a half. But everything Shilstone did with me was in motion.”

2. Gwendoline Christie

75th Annual Golden Globe Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

While starring on Game of Thrones, Gwendoline Christie worked with trainer Dalton Wong. In 2019, Wong shared some of Christie’s workouts with Harper’s Bazaar. “Posture was really important with our training,” he said. “We focused on various types of postural training focusing on hips and bum, core, shoulders and back. We implemented my mini band and glider programme to do daily at home to help improve her hips and core strength.”

3. Gina Carano

Premiere Of Disney's "Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker" - ArrivalsRodin Eckenroth/WireImage

Gina Carano opened up about her workout routine in an interview. “If I’m training for a fight I wake up in the morning and do cardio to warm up, like running on the treadmill or jumping rope, then shadow box for about 15 minutes, then do about two hours of sparring and technique. I repeat the same thing again at night.”

4. Demi Moore

Fashion Trust US Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Demi Moore has starred in G.I. Jane and Striptease, which meant she had to get in shape. One thing she does now to stay in shape is to use The Mirror workout system.

5. Charlize Theron

Premiere Of Netflix's "The School For Good And Evil" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Charlize Theron made sure to get in shape for Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde and The Fast and the Furious franchise. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Theron opened up about her approach to diet and exercise. "I'm always calculating my activity. If I haven't been moving a lot, I can't eat a lot. Or maybe it's a cheat day. But I'm honest with myself."

6. Gal Gadot

In order to play the iconic hero Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot made sure to get in shape. She worked with trainer Magnus Lygdback to do so. Lygdback talked about Gadot’s process in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “We weren’t going for the most muscle mass possible. We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.” Lygdback said Gadot did, “Leg press, front dumbbell squats, skaters and skate jumps — that’s such a good one because it recruits fast-twitch muscle fibers and works all three of the glute muscles — pull-ups, lateral raises and a ton of core work.”

7. Scarlett Johansson

26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsLeon Bennett/Getty Images

Scarlett Johansson’s trainer, Eric Johnson, talked about the actress’ workout secrets to Women’s Health. “Our training approach is dynamic and truly in tune with her state of being,” he says. “Whether that’s for an upcoming stunt that she’ll need to perform or a gym specific quest such as a pistol squat, we’ve found more success chasing attainable goals that are performance-based over a number on a scale.”

8. Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner talked about her diet in a video with Harper’s Bazaar. “I always have an apple,” she said. “I prefer to have it cut up. Otherwise, if you have lipstick on, it’s a disaster. So I cut it up, and I put it back together like a puzzle, and I stick it in my bag and have it later.”

9. Angela Bassett

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Whether she’s starring as the queen in the Black Panther film series, or as a police officer on 9-1-1, Angela Bassett makes sure to stay fit. She shared some of her favorite workouts with BlackDoctors.org. “Recently, I got a couple of my girlfriends together and we walked the Rose Bowl. It’s maybe a three-mile thing. It’s about showing up and accountability. You have to say, ‘Everyone will meet at 8:15 a.m.’ I know when I have a real plan then I’m there. If my friends are waiting, that puts a pressure on me not to disappoint them.”

10. Brie Larson

9th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

11. Michelle Rodriguez

Los Angeles Premiere Of Paramount Pictures' "Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves"Steve Granitz/FilmMagic

Michelle Rodriguez has starred in several action films, which means she’s in great shape. She opened up about her diet to OK! Magazine. “I eat a lot of free-range chicken. I eat a lot of salads.

12. Zoe Saldana

20th Century Studio's "Avatar 2: The Way Of Water" U.S. Premiere - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

The Guardians of The Galaxy star talked about her approach to food on Facebook. "I am going to remove the word 'diet' from my life,” Saldana revealed. “I am going to remind myself that it is not about losing weight, it is about being healthy, feeling healthy, for the rest of my life. I am gonna try to focus on what weekends are really for-resting and making time for your loved ones ... And when chow time arrives? I will make amazing and healthy decisions. "

13. Emily Blunt

Her trainer, Monique Eastwood, says that she does a lot of dance inspired workouts with Blunt. “To be able to help her stay fit plus add elements of dancing fitness throughout the filming was one of the most fun projects we’ve worked on,” Eastwood told Women’s Health. “We really incorporated a lot of my dance background and movement into the training programme during that time.”

14. Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale talked about her diet and exercise secrets in an interview with Shape. "I love yoga,” the Underworld star said. “But hardcore workouts have really made a big difference in my life.

15. Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie’s film roles include Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and Babylon. She shared how she got in shape to play Tonya Harding in the 2018 biopic, I, Tonya, with Body + Soul. “Weights, mostly, and lots of sit-ups. It’s all the stuff you know you’re meant to do, but just can never be bothered to do, although ice-skating itself was a huge part of it.”

16. Ronda Rousey

Premiere Of STX Films' "Mile 22" - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

In 2016, Ronda Rousey talked about her diet in an interview with StyleCaster. “I follow the Dolce Diet, and for breakfast I start the day off at 7:30am with a Dolce chia bowl. That’s two tablespoons of chia, hemp, and oats, add agave nectar, cinnamon, a couple blueberries, and a tablespoon of almond butter. My diet is about maximizing my nutrient intake instead of minimizing calories, and that keeps my metabolism burning fast.”

17. Jessica Biel

In 2017, Jessica Biel did an AMA on Reddit. In it, she was asked about her diet. “I try to eat really clean,” Biel answered. “Fruits and vegetables, fish, etc. “Don’t get me wrong, I like my cheat days and I go BIG.”

18. Cameron Diaz

In 2016, Cameron Diaz talked about her diet to Bon Appetit. She says that she eats two meals in the morning, and they couldn’t be more different. “At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

19. Sigourney Weaver

20. Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence talked about her diet and workout in an interview with Vogue. “I do work out more than normal because I have a certain way that I want to look, and a way that I want to fit into my clothes. I get photographed when I’m not asking for it, so there’s added pressure to look and feel your best. For me, it’s easier to put that extra effort into the gym instead of putting the extra effort into: ‘Oh no, I can’t eat that.’”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows.

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.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

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.

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.

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.
