Victoria’s Secret models are considered some of the most gorgeous women on the planet. Over the years several catwalk crawlers have earned their Angel wings and walked the runway of the lingerie company’s annual fashion show. Who are some of the most beloved Victoria’s Secret models of all time and what does it take for them to stay in shape? Celebwell rounded up 12 amazing bodies of former Angels and their top diet and fitness habits.


1. Taylor Hill Loves Her Body

"I used to hate my body, and I thought I was really ugly," Taylor told Byrdie. "I was so not confident, and becoming a model—and especially a VS girl—has changed my perspective on who I am. It's kind of given me a new light: You're beautiful no matter what you look like, no matter what body type you have. I always envied curvy women because I wasn't that. The grass is always greener, and you'll always have to deal with that. But being a model has helped me embrace my body type. It's hard on some girls, but it actually helped me a lot."

2. Taylor Hill Exercises

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Taylor,Hill,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Taylor mixes up her workouts. “I do mainly light weight-lifting and squats when I’m in the gym. My favorite place is Dogpound in NYC,” Taylor revealed to Harper’s Bazaar about her sweat sessions. “But I also do some yoga, pilates and crossfit. It’s important to switch things up so that your body doesn’t get too used to anything.”

3. Taylor Hill Doesn’t Believe in Diets

Stop,Dieting,Red,Sign,With,Sun,BackgroundShutterstock

“I actually don’t stick to any diets, but I eat everything in moderation. Plus, exercising regularly is very important,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. Hr favorite meals? “When I’m in Paris, I always have Japanese udon. And pizzas in New York. I also love spaghetti, and basically everything when I’m in Italy.”

4. Taylor Hills Reads

In her recent post, Taylor shows off the latest book she is reading. 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 compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

5. Taylor Hill Works Out with a Personal Trainer

Female,Personal,Trainer,,With,His,Back,Facing,The,Camera,,LookingShutterstock

Taylor enlists the help of a personal trainer to achieve her goals. "I have to use a trainer because I cheat in classes," she told Byrdie. "I'm a natural-born cheater. I cheat on everything—I cheated on tests (don't tell my teachers), I cheat workouts, I eat whatever I want! So I just needed someone to watch me and make sure I'm doing it correctly. When I have an hour, I want to give everything I have to that hour, like, really work out.”

6. Sara Sampaio Does Pilates

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Sara,Sampaio,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Sara likes an amped up version of pilates. “I've been doing a lot of SLT. It’s like a really intense Pilates with a machine. I’ve noticed with my body that small movements have done more for my body than the boot camps. My body moves better when it’s very focused on small movements that elongate your body and your muscles,” she told The Cut. “I tried SLT for the first time five or six years ago when I first got to New York. It was really hard, it was too hard. Then I was training for the Victoria’s Secret show last year and gave it another try. I really liked it, it was not as hard. I think they had changed it a little bit. I could actually go through a whole class without feeling like I was going to break down.”

7. Shanina Shaik Works Out with Personal Trainers

London,,England,-,December,02:,Victoria's,Secret,Model,Shanina,ShaikShutterstock

Shanina relies on personal trainers to keep her in runway model form. “I have a few favorite trainers whom I’ve enjoyed following over some time now, including Melissa Wood, Megan Roup of Sculpt Society, and Shannon Nadj of Hot Pilates. It’s extremely motivating to follow their workouts, even from the comfort of home. I usually gravitate toward workouts that incorporate a lot of Pilates. My favorite moves are making small circles and stretching your legs with ankle bands. Lastly, I like to use a resistance band, pointing your feet and pulsing up and down; it’s great for the inner and outer thighs,” Shanina revealed to Hum Nutrition.

8. Kelsey Merritt Does Two a Days

New,York,,Ny,-,February,05:,Kelsey,Merritt,Attends,TheShutterstock

Kelsey works out not once, but twice a day. "The past few months I've been working out everyday—and sometimes twice a day. This past week I did pilates, if I feel good then I'll do 30 minutes of cardio. I always make sure to put cardio in my workouts. I'll do SoulCycle, then I'll go on the treadmill. I will do strength training with a personal trainer at Dogpound,” she told Elle.

9. Jasmine Tookes Balances Diet with Exercise

New,York,,Ny,-,November,13:,Model,Jasmine,Tookes,WalksShutterstock

Jasmine fuels her workouts with food. “I love to eat tons of food with lots of carbs. I balance it with working out. But generally, I try to be very clean and eat healthy, and always have a lot of protein. I do have a lot of cheat days. I feel like you should be able to eat what you want,” she told The Cut. One of her cheat meals? “I love to have hot wings and French fries,” she said.

10. Hailey Bieber Sticks to A Primarily Plant-Based Diet

Hailey eats as plant-based as possible, because it makes her feel good."I tried a plant-based diet for two months during quarantine," she told Harper's Bazaar. "I felt great and I had a lot of energy, but it was not for me. I don't eat a strictly plant-based diet and I do still eat meat. I just don't eat a lot of it. I've picked up more fish, greens, and lentils." Her diet involves "a lot of vegetables and fish, not much meat, minimal dairy,” she told Byrdie. "I just feel better when I eat that way."

11. Alessandra Ambrosio Allows Herself to Indulge

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Alessandra,Ambrosio,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Alessandra used to go to extremes to stay in shape, but avoids dieting now. "After having Anja I only had three months to lose all the weight [before doing the 2008 Victoria's Secret show] and I was on this 1,200-calorie-a-day meal-delivery service that I hated. I couldn't do that again," she told The Edit. "Whenever I start to diet, everything goes downhill,” she added. “So if I want a little bite of dark chocolate on a plane or a cocktail with friends on the weekend, I'll have it. In fact, I'll drink a glass of red wine with dinner most nights, and two or three times a week I'll have a cup of tea and a cupcake with Anja, who's as obsessed with red velvet as I am.”

12. Candice Swanepoel Has a “Balanced” Approach to Wellness

London,,England,-,December,02:,Victoria's,Secret,Model,Candice,SwanepoelShutterstock

Candice focuses on upholding a balanced lifestyle. “It’s being happy and healthy. I don’t like restrict myself from certain foods that I want, or kill myself at the gym. It’s really what’s comfortable for my body at the time and what’s best at that moment,” she told The Cut.

13. Kelly Gale Eats Clean and Exercises

Paris,,France,-,November,30:,Kelly,Gale,Walks,The,RunwayShutterstock

Kelly tries to exercise daily. “Usually on my days off, and sometimes before going to set – I end up heading to pilates, boxing or jump rope and when that gets boring, I go rock climbing with friends or find some other activity we can tackle,” she revealed to V Magazine, adding to Grazia that she works out “for a few hours” and does “a lot” of walking. She also eats clean.“My diet generally consists of fresh, organic produce (all veggies, nuts, seafood, occasional eggs and lots of raw vegan dark chocolate) and superfoods everyday such as chlorella and spirulina. If I ever need an immune booster I have tons of ginger, tumeric and baobab,” she said. It “takes a while to get used to healthier foods if you’re used to eating crap, or if you have been brought up eating a certain kind of way,” she admitted. “To me, almost everything clean and healthy taste good and you can always play around and make it taste even better.” Another way she sets herself up for healthy eating success is preparation. “When I’m traveling, I always bring a big variety of healthy snacks and superfoods – usually opting for vegetables and fish or seafood when ordering food or on set.”

14. Izabel Goulart Juices

London,,England,-,December,02:,Victoria's,Secret,Model,Izabel,GoulartShutterstock

Izabel drinks a lot of juices. “The first thing I do in the morning is prepare fresh juice. I have 15 different recipes, which I drink for 15 days consecutively. Then I repeat the recipes from the beginning for the next 15 days of the month. My juices include fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, and even grains. After a workout, I have a protein drink and always keep a protein bar in my bag," she told Vogue.

15. Miranda Kerr Drinks Lemon Water

New,York,,Ny,-,November,09:,Miranda,Kerr,Models,TheShutterstock

Miranda relies on lemon water to keep her digestive system working. “Hot water with lemon to start the day, it's really good and it stimulates the digestive systems,” she told Elle UK. After downing that, she moves on to another trendy beverage. “And then after that I have my cold-pressed green juice every day. And it has like kale, spinach, cucumber, celery.”

16. Doutzen Kroes Dances

New,York,-,November,19:,Victoria's,Secret,Fashion,Show,ModelShutterstock

Doutzen dances her way to a hot body. Her favorite workout is Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers, which she takes three times a week. “It keeps everything tight. I’ve worked out with her for two years and I really like the results,” she told Vogue. “I used to always box and run, and with boxing, I would build a lot of muscle. After I had my son [Phyllon, age 3½], I started doing ballet. It makes you long and lean—it’s like the Pilates look.”

Victoria’s Secret has evolved into a body-inclusive brand in recent years. However, for decades the runway of the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show earned the reputation of showcasing only the fittest bodies in the world – stringent even by supermodel standards. For weeks and even months leading up to the big show, models busted their behinds to get in tip-top shape, some going to extreme measures in hopes of slipping into the coveted Fantasy Bra. Here are 7 women who got super fit for Victoria’s Secret, and what they did to get ready for the big event.


1. Kendall Jenner

At the age of 17, Kendall Jenner had Victoria’s Secret aspirations, so she hired trainer Autumn Calabrese to get her ready for the show. “She was 17, so she had about six months until she could legally sign the Victoria’s Secret contract, and she is very naturally lean, she is very tall, obviously beautiful,” the trainer told Life & Style. “So, for her, it was more about just staying lean and toned. We focused on a lot of toning exercises for her legs, for her hips, for her abdominals, we did everything. We weight trained, but we didn’t go super heavy on the weights — we kept it in higher reps, so it was a little bit lighter weights going for that definition even though girls can’t really bulk up.”

2. Martha Hunt

London,,Uk.,December,10,,2018:,Martha,Hunt,At,The,FashionShutterstock

Martha Hunt has hit Victoria’s Secret’s catwalk multiple times, maintaining that she does various workouts to prep for it. "I do a mix of things, like Pilates and barre, high impact and low impact," she told E! News of training with Sculpt Society creator Megan Roup. "This year, I set a goal for myself to improve my squat form, which I've been able to accomplish and I'm really proud of that. I've been doing a lot of squats and overall stretching and strength conditioning with my trainer."

3. Elsa Hosk

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,23:,Elsa,Hosk,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Elsa Hosk also does Sculpt Society. "I did something different this year," she told E! News. "I try to mix up every year, because I get bored with the same workouts. Last year, I did a lot of boxing. This year, I'm doing a lot of dance cardio with this girl Megan. She's really great with toning, keeping it fun and coming up with new moves every time we work out, so I think it's good to balance it and do it as much as you can, but just like mix it up."

4. Sara Sampaio

Sara Sampaio is all about five-day-a-week workouts. However, before the show, she tries to avoid carbs like pizza, bread, and pasta, but ahead of the lingerie fest, "I cut down on that," she dished to Us Weekly, "and eat a lot of chicken, fish, fruit and veggies."

5. Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima works out all year long. "But I kick it up a little bit leading up to the show," she told British Vogue. Her pre-show workout involves a mix of boxing and cardio and workouts at The Dogpound/ "People say that we train like Olympic athletes," she added, "and I think although obviously it's a much different goal, we do work very hard to achieve how we want to look and feel as we walk down the runway for millions of people."

6. Georgia Fowler

Georgia Fowler dished to Women's Health that she amps up her produce intake. In fact, fruits and veggies make up 80 percent of her pre-show diet along with 10 percent fat and 10 percent protein. "I [have] an avo a day, lots of nuts, lots of fish," she said, "and then just fruit and veg. I limit dairy and excess carbs, basically. No processed food."

7. Stella Maxwell

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Stella,Maxwell,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Stella Maxwell amps up "weight training and toning and lengthening," she revealed to E! News in 2017. "It's nice to also go for, like, sweats and saunas and detox,” she said about how she ditches water weight.

Cardio, I’ll do maybe three times a week. When I was in Puerto Rico, I’d run outside because it gave me a nice view to be outdoors and running in between palm trees. I haven’t done Muay Thai in over a year now, and I’m starting to miss it. I believe a girl should always be able to throw a good punch. It’s a good self-defense.”

If you decide that you want to eat all those crazy meals, you have to balance with working out, so you always have to motivate yourself. You cannot wake up and see yourself in the mirror and think ‘I look great so I can just relax’, you have to always push yourself to be better.”

Chanel Iman is all about self-care. She talked about why it is important to her with StyleCaster. “To me self-care and wellness are not just about my hair, body, and skin; but most importantly, it’s about my mind-set. What you feed your spirit is what guides you. Staying positive and on top of the regimens that keep you shining is what will keep you confident that your self-care is working. If you wake up with a blah attitude, your day will be blah. But if you energize your day looking forward to what the world has to offer, your day will make you smile.”

We do a combination of booty kicks and leg raises mixed with some ballet movements like plies. I have never felt a burn like that in my life!”

12. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

I would work out, but I would also have my teacher come to my place so I could do pilates at home. I gave birth end of July and then I had the Victoria’s Secret show in November, four months later, so I started around the beginning of October because you can’t start too early because of your abs and you have to be careful.

21. Winnie Harlow

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Winnie,Harlow,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Lais,Ribeiro,At,The,#revolveawardsShutterstock

Lais Ribeiro shared some of her skincare and beauty secrets with Byrdie. “I don’t really try to use too much stuff. I use honey, which is good for everything. It gets rid of dark spots when you have pimples, and makes your face really fresh. So, literally the honey that you eat, I apply to that to my skin and it balances bacteria and accelerates the healing of skin cells. I use it as a mask [twice a week], so after cleaning my face I put it on and leave it for 20 minutes and then wash off."

Sometimes I keep that in the fridge as well, so it’s extra cooling on my face in the morning. The Turmeric Brightening and Exfoliating Mask, I’ll put on my face as a mask so it acts like a mini microdermabrasion scrub. You know you’re getting the benefit of the natural enzymes and the peppermint to wake you up. I’m obsessed with that."

No matter how busy Alessandra Ambrosio gets, she makes sure to make time for herself. “I like waking up in the morning, doing my coffee, and then I have my diary next to my bed,” she told Forbes. “It’s a 5-minute diary - like a gratitude book. I just write a little bit about what I expect out of my day, what I’m grateful for, so just to start the day in a positive vibe. I have some things that I know how to calm me down, how to center, and how to be present in the moment that I do.”

Shalom Harlow opened up about her health struggles in an interview with InStyle. “Deep chronic illness will incite a nervous breakdown,” Harlow says. “I did have complex PTSD from the level of infections in my body. There were moments of grace and surrender and a lot of moments of digging in my heels.

4. Beverly Peele

Beverly Peele opened up about her life and career in an interview with Consciousness Magazine. She says that she is all about being comfortable in her body, even if she doesn’t have the look she had when she was first starting out her modeling career. “I like my weight. I’ve got a little bit of hips on me now; I’m a thickems as they call it, (laughs) or whatever the street name is (laughs). There’s a lot more to be on the lookout for.”

5. Tyra Banks

TIME100 Summit 2022Craig Barritt/Getty Images

In 2013, Tyra Banks explained why she doesn’t believe in diets in an interview with Us Weekly. "To me, it's like, I lost weight a couple of years ago and that just changed the way I ate, it changed the way I thought. I actually got too thin because I have tunnel vision. So when they said this is what you have to do, I was too strict, and I realized I needed to cheat way more because it didn't look good. I didn't realize I was too thin until I started seeing pictures and I thought, 'Oh, I don't like that. That doesn't look good. I need some ass.’"

6. Niki Taylor

In 2012, model and CoverGirl spokeswoman, Niki Taylor, talked about her wellness secrets with Well + Good. She shared some ways that she stays in shape.

These things also make you feel great."

7. Liya Kebede

In an interview with Essence, Liya Kebede talked about her wellness routine. She admits that she doesn’t always have time to workout on a regular basis. However, she says that she likes to practice yoga and meditation when she has time. “It's hard to have a routine, but I try to do yoga.

8. Rachel Peru

Rachel Peru opened up about how she gets modeling work in her 40s in an interview with The Mutton Club. “I think embracing my gray hair was a catalyst to how my self- confidence has grown which started the ball rolling. When I had modelling agencies saying they would like to represent me, that was a huge step in me thinking I could make it work and step out of my comfort zone. It’s a domino effect then, once you do one job and realise you didn’t make a complete fool of yourself every job gets easier to believe in myself.”

11. Selita Ebanks

Selita Ebanks wants to spread information about racism in the fashion and beauty industry. She talked about this in an interview with Essence. “I am doing all this research about skin bleaching and brightening and all these things. There are so many things that can happen from just not knowing what is in the bottle. It’s very daunting, but I want to provide a platform for you all to come to and to educate yourselves and to read our amazing articles, and of course, a beauty brand, that you can feel good about that is not only natural, but it’s effective and it’s safe.”

12. Gisele Bundchen

In 2015, Laetitia Casta broke down her workouts in an interview with Grazia Daily. “Sometimes I have to [work out]. I don’t want to like everybody, but I have to and I’m a human being.

14. Ines Rivero

In an interview with The Wordy Girl, Ines Rivero talked about her diet. She says that she eats healthy and avoids inflammatory foods. “Avoid all foods that come in packaging or already prepared. They’re usually high in sodium and have preservatives. Go easy on the salt. Go easy on dairy. The idea is to keep inflammation to the minimum as most modern diseases such as autoimmune disease are usually triggered by inflammation. I drink tons of dandelion tea which helps drain and it’s a natural anti inflammatory. I am also a fan of turmeric and ginger.”

1. Cindy Crawford

London,,Uk.,December,10,,2018:,Cindy,Crawford,At,The,FashionSutterstock

Cindy Crawford shared her daily diet with Into The Gloss. “I usually have a protein shake for breakfast because it’s fast — I need to get the kids out the door. For lunch I’ll have salad, sometimes with chicken, sometimes without. For dinner we’ll go for sushi, or if we eat at home, I’ll try to make a meal like turkey meatballs with pasta, a salad, and a vegetable.”

2. Kate Moss

London,,United,Kingdom,-,December,10,,2018:,Kate,Moss,AttendsShutterstock

Kate Moss shared her diet in an interview with The Guardian. “Food is really important. I try to eat healthily. And I do cook, but not as much as I’d like to because I’m busy, but I cook a good roast. I do good breakfasts – eggs are my forte. I really enjoy food, proper food, but I do try to eat more healthily than I used to. I think as you get older you have to. When I was young I was so low maintenance I didn’t have to worry. Not what I ate, not about anything really. My skin looks better when I eat well, too. Obviously if you eat all that grease, skin just doesn’t look as healthy. I’ve really noticed an improvement since I’ve been more ‘on it’ with food – like eating salads and all that stuff – I never used to really eat salads. And now I’m like, juicing!”

3. Christy Turlington

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,11:,Christy,Turlington,Burns,Arrives,ToShutterstock

Christy Turlington doesn’t like to have a strict wellness routine. “Sometimes I run at the end of the day versus the morning only because I'm not really a morning person,” she tells SELF. “In the summer when it was super hot, I would just wait until the end of the day to exercise and that was a nice break to transition to the next part of the evening. Then I would come back and make dinner and be able to be present and not be carrying my workday or other anxieties into the evening.”

4. Claudia Schiffer

London,,Uk.,May,20,,2019:,Claudia,Schiffer,Arriving,For,TheShutterstock

Claudia Schiffer not only makes sure to eat healthy, she also eats local produce. She shared her favorite meals with Net-A-Porter. “I start my day with quinoa, pineapple, almond slithers and fresh almond milk with dates in it. Lunch usually consists of vegetables and a small amount of turkey, chicken or fish, and it’s the same for dinner. Snacks are sheep’s or goat’s yogurt with banana, chia seeds and flax seeds, and treats are always chocolate, a great red wine or my favorite Leoube rosé. I also love the traditional old-fashioned German stews that my mother used to cook for me, which I now have when I’m with my siblings in Hamburg.”

5. Tyra Banks

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,14:,Tyra,Banks,Arrives,To,The'america'sShutterstock

Tyra Banks has amazing skin. She shared one of her biggest secrets with TODAY. “Exfoliation was a big deal in our household. Nothing fancy, just a washcloth and using it twice a day. In the morning and at night. A wet washcloth with the same soap that didn’t dry you out.”

6. Elle MacPherson

Melbourne,,Australia,-,November,3:,Elle,Macpherson,Arrives,At,DerbyShutterstock

Elle MacPherson shared her wellness approach with Harper’s Bazaar. “I believe in maintenance, I’m not a big binge and purge person,” she says. “I think it’s really important to maintain wellness year-round. Not because it looks good but it actually feels good – which is really important when you’re running a business and you’ve got kids and a full life. It’s easy – I just make good choices and I enjoy the choices that I make. I really enjoy a plant-based diet, I love vegetables.”

7. Alicia Silverstone

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,17:,Alicia,Silverstone,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Alicia Silverstone is a salad lover. She shared a favorite of hers in an interview with Bustle. I’m quite a professional salad maker. I always drizzle lemon or an orange, olive oil, and flaxseed oil, because it makes it buttery. Then umeboshi plum vinegar. Sometimes it’s nice to put some kimchi on the side, and I really love the combination of red onions and raisins. I also love cilantro, so lots of that.”

8. Naomi Campbell

May,2,,2016,-,New,York,,New,York,,Usa,-Shutterstock

Naomi Campbell has amazing skin, and we are lucky that she’s shared her tips in interviews. “I cleanse and scrub every day,” she said in one. “I take off makeup every night. Hydration, for me, is the most important thing. I like my skin to look greasy and oily. I’m constantly moisturizing—masks, face masks, creamy masks, paper masks. When you’re under the lights, the makeup goes really deep into the pores. When I’m not working, I try not to wear makeup at all. I like to just have clean skin.”

9. Mariah Carey

Las,Vegas,-,May,17:,Mariah,Carey,At,The,2015Shutterstock

Mariah Carey is quite the interesting figure. And she tells The Guardian that she doesn’t care what others think of her, and she wants to put out what she wants. “I don’t know and I don’t want to know. If I looked at every single thing people say about me I couldn’t exist as me, so I’d rather just see certain things.”

10. Tara Reid

Tara Reid isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. After being body shamed on social media, she hot back on Instagram. “Stop hating, start loving,” she wrote. “No one needs to be body shaming. It's not right, it's not cool and it hurts people. Please don’t be one of those people, it does have an effect.”

11. Jenny McCarthy

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,02:,Jenny,Mccarthy,Arrives,To,TheShutterstock

Jenny McCarthy talked about her approach to fitness with UsWeekly. “[It’s] 100 percent not about the weight,” she said. “In fact, I don’t even own a scale. I haven’t owned a scale since my 20s because muscle weighs more than fat. It was about targeting a certain area.”

12. Carmen Electra

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,17:,Carmen,Electra,At,The,2019Shutterstock

Carmen Electra tells Byrdie that she loves to get oxygen facials. “For the past twenty years, my daily three-step skin routine has allowed me to maintain healthy, glowing, and surgery-free skin," Electra said. "When I get an oxygen facial, I feel 10 years younger. The oxygen gets underneath the skin and into the pores, which helps my skin look amazing. That’s why I love it."

13. Gwen Stefani

MontÈ,Carlo,,Principality,Of,Monaco,September,,26,,2019.,Gwen,StefaniShutterstock

In addition to being a singer, Gwen Stefani is a fashion and beauty icon. Last year, she launched her makeup line, GXVE in Anaheim. Stefani talked about why she wanted to start this at the launch. "The thing is, is that I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, but I don't think I knew that it was even a thing that you could do back in those times. Like in the '90s, we did music. And we did that for nine years before we were on the radio. Like we were never trying to do anything. We were just being who we were."

14. Jim Carrey

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,June,12,,2011:,Jim,Carrey,AtShutterstock

Jim Carrey talked about some realizations he’s had with The Talks. “I guess just getting to the place where you have everything everybody has ever desired and realizing you are still unhappy. And that you can still be unhappy is a shock when you have accomplished everything you ever dreamt of and more and then you realize, ‘My gosh, it’s not about this.’ And I wish for everyone to be able to accomplish those things so they can see that.”

15. Gerri Halliwell

Virgin Voyages Scarlet Night PartyDave Benett/Getty Images

Ahead of her 50th birthday last year, Gerri Halliwell talked about it in an interview with Amazing Magazine. “Rather than saying I am 50, I’m saying I get to be 50,” she says. “I’ve got half a century under my belt! I thought if I am going to champion the evolution of what I’ve always stood for – and that’s empowering others, whoever you are, and being yourself – actually, another boundary to break is to say, ‘It’s alright, it’s more than alright, it’s amazing [to be 50].’ I think sometimes we can look at the future with fear, but it’s the opposite.”

16. Jennifer Love Hewitt

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,02:,Jennifer,Love,Hewitt,Arrives,ToShutterstock

In a 2013 interview with OK!, Jennifer Love Hewitt talked about her workout routine. “I try to switch it up a bit. 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.”

17. Tia Carerre

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,6:,Tia,Carerre,Arrives,At,TheShutterstock

In an interview with Yahoo Life, Tia Carerre talked about the changes she’s seen in the industry since her career began. "I'm just grateful that things are different now for women," she explains. "I'm really grateful that women have banded together and there are more women in power positions at studios. I know female studio heads that weren't there when I was coming up. And that has made a huge difference, female showrunners and producers and writers."

18. Joey McIntyre

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,19:,Joey,Mcintyre,At,The,OscarShutterstock

In an interview with Boston Magazine, Joey McIntyre talked about how he and his family deal with his fame. “Well, my kids want me to be nice, which I am, and I hope that means that I’ve raised them a certain way. I don’t want to make myself sound like a jerk, and I’m not, but basically, if they sense that I’m trying to brush it off, they’re like, ‘Not cool.’ But I’m always flattered. I’m very lucky to do what I do, and to have the fans I have, and at this point, we’re older, so it’s not so crazy.”

19. Pamela Anderson

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,7:,Pamela,Anderson,At,The,PetaShutterstock

Pamela Anderson shared her diet in an interview with Vogue. "I only eat between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. It just makes me feel so great and energized. I've got a great doctor in L.A. who has given me this great vitamin regimen. I'm taking them and eating healthy as I'm vegan."

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
