Longmire exited A&E over six years ago after a six season run. However, the popular western drama lives on, streaming on Netflix. While the plot surrounded main character Walt Longmire, a widowed sheriff in Absaroka County, Wyoming, over the years several stunning women appeared on the show. Celebwell rounded up 11 amazing bodies of Longmire stars and compiled a list of their best lifestyle habits.


1. Katee Sackhoff

Katee Sackoff, who stars as Victoria Moretti on the hit show, explained in a YouTube video with her trainer that she changes up her workout routine depending on the role. For example, while playing Lieutenant Kara “Starbuck” Thrace on Battlestar Galactica she had a more relaxed approach to diet and exercise. “Part of the reason I didn’t want to change [Starbuck’s] body from my own was because she and I were very similar in that sense. She drank a lot and smoked cigars. This is not a person who is like the epitome of staying in shape … She wasn’t eating salad,” she said.

2. Cassidy Freeman

Cassidy Freeman, who stars as Cady Longmire, loves to hike with her family. Her social media feed is filled with photos of her adventures on the trails. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

3. Ally Walker

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,04:,Ally,Walker,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Ally Walker, who played Dr. Donna Sue Monaghan, loves going on long bike rides. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

4. Tamara Duarte

Yoga is “vital” for Tamara Duarte, aka Mandy. “My body needs at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day and my mind the opposite. The only way I know how to calm my mind down is if I allow my body to get movement out first,” she told Asana. “I have a mat in my trunk, suitcase, apartment in LA, and home in Vegas. I know it’s a lot of mats, but I practice when I can where I can. It is hard but I try my best.”

5. Mary Wiseman

New,York,,Ny,-,May,6,,2022:,Mary,Wiseman,AttendsShutterstock

Mary Wiseman, who plays Meg Joyce, is outdoorsy. She loves walking and hiking in nature. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

6. Katherine LaNasa

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,04:,Katherine,Lanasa,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Katherine LaNasa, who plays Lizzie Ambrose, has an active lifestyle of running, biking, yoga, and gyrotonics. She also maintains a gluten-free, organic diet sans dairy or meat. “You need to get yourself happy,” she told Dolce “It’s sort of by grace, I don’t think by virtuosity, that we make each other better people. When that comes naturally in a relationship, then it’s a good one.”

7. Jessica Camacho

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,14:,Jessica,Camacho,At,The,Hbo'sShutterstock

Jessica Camacho, Kiersten on the show, prioritizes rest and recharging. “I make sleep a priority. I truly need eight hours to function at my best. If I can’t get that when I’m working a heavy schedule, I’ll pamper myself with naps, which are just heaven to me,” she told Parade. “Also, I try to dedicate myself to cultivating a meditation practice. Sometimes it’s hard for me to include that in the chaos of a busy day, but when I do, I truly feel more balanced, at peace, and capable of handling stress. I’m working towards meditating on a daily basis.”

8. Amber Midthunder

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,14:,Amber,Midthunder,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Amber Midthunder plays Lilly Stillwater on the show. In real life you can find her hiking and rock climbing. She captioned one post, “girl on a rock in the sky feeling thankful for ancestors and land and social distancing and loved ones.”

9. Julia Jones

New,York,,Ny,-,November,1,,2021:,Julia,Jones,AttendsShutterstock

Dexter New Blood star Julia Jones appeared in 5 episodes of Longmire as Gabriella Langton. One of her favorite sports is skiing. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

10. Beau Garrett

New,York,,Ny,-,February,7,,2019:,Beau,Garrett,WearingShutterstock

Beau Garrett played Shawna Crawford on two episodes of the show. She stays active in a variety of ways, she explained in an interview with Christy Dawn. “I like to sweep my house. I like to put flowers in my space. Hike. Be with my pup. Cook dinner and have people in my home. I love to dance. I love to travel. I love yoga and music, sometimes at the same time. I love road trips and great books. Honestly, I just want to laugh these days so I surround myself with things and people that create that environment,” she said.

11. Mädchen Amick

Mädchen Amick, who played Deena in 3 episodes of the show, has a few different workouts she loves. “I’m deeply into high-level Iyengar yoga, so we had beautiful yoga walls built at our home. And I’m grandfathered in at 24 Hour Fitness in West Hollywood, where I get to pay just $90 a year for a lifetime. I love that and embrace it! I do the weight circuit a couple times a week, and I’ll jump into any spin class, anytime, anywhere,” she told Socal Pulse.

Matthew McConaughey played Detective Rust Cole in the first season. He shared some of his workout tips in an interview. “Like any mammal, we’re always gonna make it back home. I like to run 20 minutes out, turn around, and drop and do 20 pushups 10 times during the run back.”

Rachel McAdams played Detective Ani Bezzerides in the second season. She shared with Trainforher.com that she is conscious of what she puts in her body. “I eat organic and I eat a lot of greens and seeds. I’ve always been conscious of what I put in my body and I’m finding it so much easier now to eat healthily on the go. I think there are a lot more tasty options.”

3. Michelle Monaghan

Nashville,-,Jun,5:,Michelle,Monaghan,Attends,The,2019,CmtShutterstock

Michelle Monaghan played Maggie Hart on the first season. She shared her fitness secrets with Shape Magazine. "I hike in the morning if I can, after I drop the kids off at school. If not, I'll go for a run. Typically, I'll do 30 minutes, which is a three-mile run for me. I started doing Pilates, too, and it's really challenging. I find that it's a good balance for my running, which makes my muscles tight. Pilates loosens me up. I also love SoulCycle. I played a Spin instructor in a movie, and at the time I thought, There's no way I'm getting on a bike. But SoulCycle had just opened in L.A., so I went with friends. The lights were off, candles were burning, and we were hooked. It's like church!”

4. Alexandra Daddario

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,12:,Alexandra,Daddario,Arrives,For,Baby2babyShutterstock

Alexandra Daddario played Lisa Tragnetti on the first season. She works with trainer Patrick Murphy to help her stay in shape. “Working out with Patrick makes me feel more confident in everyday life. I feel stronger and healthier — even more so than I did in my 20s,” Daddario told Women’s Health. “My back doesn’t hurt anymore, my posture is better — his approach is to keep you feeling good and your joints working. Looking stronger is just a bonus.”

5. Lili Simmons

Lili Simmons played the recurring role of Beth in the show’s first season. She shared her fitness secrets with Coveteur. “I have a trainer. I do weight-lifting mixed with a little bit of cardio. He kicks my ass. I love it! I couldn’t imagine life without it. I think women are scared of looking too muscular and I think that’s some bullshit. You still have a woman’s body. Muscle is muscle, and it’s good to be strong. I think it’s the fountain of youth to be honest.”

6. Colin Farrell

Colin Farrell played Detective Ray Velcoro on the second season. He talked about his sobriety to Variety. “I had suspicions, before I got sober, of how painful life could be. But I had no ability to hold that without being self-destructive and without living in it. I don’t live in that now. I feel these things that we’re talking about, at times. And I consider life greatly at times. And other times, I’m as frivolous as I was when I was 6 years old on a good day.”

7. Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn played Frank Seymon on the show’s second season. He talked about working in Hollywood to Drafthouse.com. “Nowadays it feels easier to make these comedies – people are more supportive in allowing it. Because you’re dealing with subject matter and topics that are adult-driven, you want to have that freedom to think and act like adults too.”

8. Kelly Reilly

Kelly Reilly played Jordan Seymon in the show’s second season. She did a “Day On A Plate” interview with The Telegraph. “We have a huge vegetable garden and I love working on it when I've got time off. Pick out a butternut squash for dinner.

9. Taylor Kitsch

Taylor Kitsch played Officer Paul Woodrugh on the second season. He shared his training secrets in an interview. “Day to day, it’s just maintenance. When I’m busy, I’ll try to work out in the morning, just fit what I can in. I keep it high-intensity with training and weights – no rest, I’ll just fuckin’ bang it out. I try to do it hard and fast. Right now I’ve changed it all, I’m doing a lot of bodyweight stuff. But a lot of what your body looks like comes down to what you eat when you can’t work out as much as you’d like.”

10. Carmen Ejogo

Carmen Ejogo played Amelia Reardon on the third season. She opened up about working in Hollywood and dealing with stereotypes to The Guardian. “You can start feeling like you’re the representative of all kinds of things – woman, age bracket, race – and to be able to liberate myself from all those shackles from time to time and just do what feels exciting to me in any given moment is something I’ve promised myself to do more of.”

Kevin Costner plays the lead role of John Dutton on Yellowstone. In 2014, he revealed how he keeps himself in shape to the Chicago Sun Times. Costner says that his kids keep him active. “Forget hand weights. Just lift up my kids about a million times a day. Then go running after them when they take off in about a zillion different directions. After all that it was easy to get on a horse and do ’Hatfields and McCoys’ last year.”

2. Luke Grimes

Los,Angeles,-,May,30:,Luke,Grimes,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Luke Grimes opened up about playing Kayce Dutton on the series to Monsters and Critics. He says that he did a lot of training for the role. “When we got to Utah, where we filmed the first season, a lot of us went on a cowboy camp,” he recalls. “We went on a pack trip that went out for three nights.

3. Kelly Reilly

Los,Angeles,-,May,30:,Kelly,Reilly,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

In 2013, Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, talked about her diet and exercise routine to The Telegraph. “I get up early even when I'm not working, but need to wake up properly before I can eat anything. I make a coffee and whizz up some fruit juice (I'm a big juicer and make large batches to keep in the fridge). Add turmeric and ginger today, for the immune system.”

4. Wes Bentley

Los,Angeles,-,May,30:,Wes,Bentley,At,The,"yellowstone"Shutterstock

Wes Bentley plays Jamie Dutton on Yellowstone.In an interview, he talked about his struggle with addiction and how being cast on the show helped him overcome it. “The 12-step meetings really helped me a lot. I already had belief in God, so that kind of helps — the higher power thing…I believe in fate, and I believe I went through all that, caused all that, and experienced all that, because I was going to get here. There are many things that I regret, but I'm just so happy with my life.”

5. Cole Hauser

Los,Angeles,-,May,30:,Cole,Hauser,At,The,"yellowstone"Shutterstock

To play Rip Wheeler, Cole Hauser does a lot of riding. He talked about this in an interview with People. “Horseback riding, as you know, at a very high level, is a hell of a workout for core and back and legs, and you name it. Riding and roping and cutting and doing the different disciplines that we do on the show, it’ll keep you in shape. But that first, kind of, initial when you come back to work on the show, you’re sore for a week.”

6. Kelsey Asbille

Los,Angeles,-,May,30:,Kelsey,Asbille,At,The,"yellowstone"Shutterstock

Kelsey Asbille doesn’t just play Monica Dutton on Yellowstone, she’s also an avid chef. She talked about how she got interested in cooking in an interview with Esquire. “My mom's mom has a catering company. So I was around good food all the time. Southern food is so important to me. It's so sentimental and emotional. It was a way of bringing home to me or yeah. I also just love when people love it as well. It's nice to cook for everyone and have them enjoy it.”

7. Josh Holloway

Los,Angeles,-,May,02:,Josh,Holloway,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

In addition to playing Roarke Carter, Josh Holloway has also starred in Mission Impossible as Agent Trevor Hanaway. He talked about getting in shape for this role to Men’s Journal. "I trained my ass off. That shook me up. I thought, 'Enough of this letting go and getting it back. Maybe you can't be completely performance-ready all the time, but you can't let it go. You need to stay within striking distance.'"

8. Piper Perabo

New,York,,Ny,-,April,29,,2019:,Piper,Perabo,WearingShutterstock

Piper Perabo plays Summer Higgins on Yellowstone. She opened up about confidence and wellness in an interview with Into The Gloss. “I think for myself, what shines through the best is when you feel good about yourself, you know what I mean? Confidence. It comes from a psychological place: how you feel about yourself and what you want to put out there initially, and then after that, I think it comes from a nutritional place—what you eat really affects how you look, and the better you are to your body, the better you feel, and the better you look, and the better you feel about how you look.”

9. Josh Lucas

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,01:,Josh,Lucas,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Josh Lucas opened up about what it was like playing John Dutton in an interview with TV Guide. “There's no doubt that it has to do with the success of the show, but one of the most surprising things for me about this experience is if you go to the center of Yellowstone and you spend time with these actors and this crew, there is a passion and obsession about what they feel towards Taylor, and what they feel towards the writing, what they feel towards the ranch and the story,” he says. “I've never experienced anything like that before from a film production or a television production. Mostly when you're on a show, after a couple years, people get bored of it. I feel like the exact opposite has happened here. The crew and the team of people involved are more passionate about it now than they were even five years ago, and it's not an easy show to make.”

10. Hassie Harrison

Los,Angeles,-,Jul,21:,Hassie,Harrison,At,The,11thShutterstock

Hassie Harrison, who plays Laramie on Yellowstone, opened up about her wellness in an interview with Modeliste. “I became a certified health coach a few years ago, so I am a big believer in the inside-out approach. What we eat and drink shows up on our skin, in our sleep patterns and in our day-to-day energy levels and moods.”

11. Dawn Oliveri

Dawn Oliveri plays Sarah Atwood on Yellowstone. In a 2014 interview with SELF, she revealed some of her favorite ways to stay in shape. "I tend to be most inspired to work out within a location that contains something impressive," says Olivieri. "The mountains, a sunrise, a sunset, a waterfall, the ocean. You can pull energy from them while you do your exercises."

12. Dave Annable

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,18:,Dave,Annable,At,The,ParamountShutterstock

Dave Annable played Lee Dutton on the series. He also opened up about being recast on CBS’s The Code to The Hollywood Reporter. “I didn’t have a goal. That was my outlet to sort of deal with my biggest fear, of being publicly embarrassed, I guess. You get older, you become a father, I found meditation and Stoic philosophy, and it really got me to a point that I had deal with that in the way that it made me happy. And from probably the worst moment in my career came the best feeling that I’ve had as a man, having all those people come forward and be inspired by it. That was way more rewarding than anything I’d felt before. I still have people talking to me about it, and that’s awesome — that I could turn that failure into something positive for myself.”

13. Neal McDonough

Los,Angeles,-,May,30:,Neal,Mcdonough,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Neal McDonough played Malcolm Beck on Yellowstone. He did a “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” interview with Us Weekly. In it, he revealed that he no longer drinks alcohol. “I gave up alcohol four years ago. It wasn’t easy at first, but it was the second-greatest decision of my life. Marrying my wife, Ruvé, was by far the first!”

From Sookie Stackhouse's enchanting workouts to Jason Stackhouse's resilient spirit, this article reveals how the cast of this vampiric saga maintained their amazing bodies. Anna Paquin's on-the-road workouts, Anna Camp's snack-hoarding strategies, and Joe Manganiello's 80/20 diet plan will leave you thirsting for more.

"I had this really amazing trainer in New York, who I worked out with for years," she said. "He got me in amazing shape and taught me how to work out by myself and on the road.

He would write out workouts for me that I could do anywhere."

2. Anna Camp

Anna Camp played Sarah Newlin on seasons two, six, and seven. She tells People that she takes healthy snack options with her when she’s working. “I’m on the run a lot in L.A.

His trainer, Ron Matthews, told Men’s Health that he has the actor on an 80/20 plan. “We never do less than 80 percent of full capacity with the diet and the workouts. But that means he can still have a cheat meal and enjoy life the other 20 percent.”

4. Rutina Wesley

Rutina Wesley played Tara Thornton on all seven seasons of the show. She shared some of her favorite workouts with Fitness Magazine. “I do a mix of cardio and strength — the elliptical machine and weight lifting — three times weekly. But a lot of my agility comes from being a dancer; I trained at Juilliard. I also do yoga. It helps me relax and let go of the crazy character I play.”

5. Ryan Kwanten

Ryan Kwanten played Jason Stackhouse on all seven seasons. He revealed in an interview with FOX News that he’s developed a lot of resilience, which has helped with his career. "I have that sporting background where I want to be the best, I want to be the champion. If I'm knocked down, you're damn sure I'm getting back up again. A lot of actors who may very well be more talented than me don't have that kind of tenacity in the face of rejection. That resilience gives me a distinct advantage."

6. Christopher Meloni

New,York,,Ny,-,December,12,,2021:,Christopher,Meloni,AttendsShutterstock

Christopher Meloni played Roman Zimojic in season five. He shared his approach to eating with Men’s Health. “I have to juggle the correct kinds of foods, but I have to ingest enough calories to push the weight that I need to push in order to kind of maintain…whatever this thing is. I really eat everything. My philosophy—well, my diet—is I’m basically horse-trading all day. I like to pick and choose where I’m going to ingest my cholesterol or my heavy fats or starches.”

7. Denis O’Hare

Denis O’Hare played Russell Edgington on seasons three and five. He shared how he approaches an audition with Backstage.com. “I try, when I go in, to not let the director talk to me. I don’t want them putting any ideas in my head before I’ve done what I’m doing. Afterward, it’s fine. And I don’t tend to banter—I don’t tend to chat. I don’t try to make friends. I just come in, do my job, and leave. And I also don’t hang around. Once I’m done, I get out of there so fast. I don’t want anybody to see me. I don’t want to have another conversation. I don’t want to have a second audition. I just leave.”

8. Jurnee Smollett

Jurnee Smollett played Nicole Wright on the final two seasons. She shared some of her favorite exercises with SELF. Smollett says that she makes sure to workout when traveling. “If I have a jump rope and a resistance band, I can work out anywhere. Even without a jump rope. If you do 200 jumping jacks, then drop and do some crunches, and then do some squats, you’re good.”

9. Luke Grimes

Luke Grimes played James Kent in season six. He also appears on the hit series, Yellowstone, and revealed to Monsters & Critics that he did a lot of riding to prepare for the role. “When we got to Utah, where we filmed the first season, a lot of us went on a cowboy camp where we went on a pack trip that went out for three nights. Taking these horses up mountains, jumping creeks, and doing a lot of stuff that a lot of us had never done before just to try to get us into the feel of the place and of the world.”

10. Lizzy Caplan

West,Hollywood,,Ca,Usa,-,April,24,,2023:,Lizzy,CaplanShutterstock

Lizzy Caplan played Amy Burley on season one of the series. She opened up about finding fulfillment in her career to Variety. “It seems rare to know, for me, what a whole year is going to look like,” she says. “I keep it moving, jumping from lily pad to lily pad. I feel extremely lucky that I get to bounce around so much and do the things that I personally find meaningful or scary or a challenge.”

11. Carrie Preston

Carrie Preston played Arlene Fowler Bellefleur on the entire series. She shared some of her wellness secrets in an “A Day In My Life” interview with Us Weekly. Preston revealed that she makes smoothies for breakfast. “My smoothies are legendary. I start with pea milk, avocado and kale, and then I throw in every kind of berry, flaxseed, cacao nibs powder and nut combo it can handle.”

FBI isn’t the first action role Missy Peregrym had. She previously starred in the cop drama Rookie Blue and in the gymnastics film Stick It. According to an interview in People, these choices are intentional. "I like roles where I get to do stunts and be athletic, so I'm playing the vulnerability every woman has and also the ability to handle crazy situations.”

2. Alana de la Garza

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

3. Sela Ward

Sela Ward loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Facebook of herself in the pool after doing laps. She captioned the photo, “Got my laps in for the day! Can someone hand me a towel, please?”

4. Zeeko Zaki

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,4:,Zeeko,Zaki,At,The,KindShutterstock

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

6. Ebonee Noel

New,York,,Ny,-,November,01:,Ebonee,Noel,Attends,TheShutterstock

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,13:,Connie,Nielsen,At,The,WorldShutterstock

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

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.

I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

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.
