Amine Özil in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Feeling the Summer Heat"

Amine Özil is heating up social media – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the former beauty queen-turned-model/actress shows off her amazing body and flat abs in a two-piece Alo ensemble. “Feeling the summer heat,” Mesut Özil’s wife captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Boxing

Amine fights for her hot body by boxing. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

2. Horseback Riding

Amine is an equestrian and regularly rides horses. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

3. Yoga

Amine enjoys doing yoga – with friends. “Partner Challenge 🤜🏼🤛🏼,” she captioned a post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. Walking Her Dogs

Amine gets her steps in by walking her dogs. “Having fun,” she captioned this post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

5. Reading

Amine winds down with a good book. “Don't think too much. Sooner or later everything will be as it should - @ardaerel 😊,” she captioned a post of herself 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.

6. Strength Training

Amine also shared a video of herself working out in the same Alo look. In it, she does a variety of strength training exercises including cable pulls, single arm kettlebell swings, and weighted crunch twists. 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

Victoria’s Secret model Gizele Oliveira knows it’s much more fun to work out with a friend—so she brought one along for her personal trainer session at the gym. Oliveira, 30, shared a video of herself wearing a green Alo Yoga onesie, doing a full-body workout with her pal. The pair did a series of strength conditioning exercises, including squats and lunges. “Bring your friend to workout day 🏋️‍♀️,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Oliveira does to stay fit, beautiful, and healthy.

1. Personal Trainer Sessions

Oliveira exercises with a trainer to avoid skipping workouts. “To me it’s very hard to work out by myself, so having a trainer helped me a lot with that because I feel a little pressure to keep moving,” she told Hollywood Life. “I also feel happier and that I’m doing something good while I’m stuck at home. I saw a very funny meme that said: ‘If you want any motivation to workout at home, put a swimsuit on while at home instead of pajamas!'”

2. Body Weight Exercises

Oliveira is a big fan of online workouts. “Now is an amazing time to follow gyms and fitness bloggers on Instagram, every day they do lives and lately they’ve been posting lots of good workouts you can do at home without any machines!” she told Hollywood Life. “I have a personal trainer that trains me via FaceTime, but it’s always super simple functional stuff. Using chairs and couches to do lower body workouts, your own body weight for abs, stuff like that… Stretches for sure!”

3. Pescatarian Diet

Oliveira says she doesn’t really follow any diet rules apart from being a pescatarian. “We all need protein, but not all protein sources are healthy,” Anthony DiMarino, RD, tells Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials. “If you go pescatarian, you eat the healthiest protein sources available. Choosing these lean proteins over high-fat meat could help support weight loss. Most healthy adults should eat two servings of fish per week. If you’re not pregnant or nursing, you can eat high-mercury fish on occasion. But focus on the low-mercury types for most of your fish intake.”

4. Sunset Lover

Oliveira loves to relax at the end of the day by enjoying the sunset. “My favorite time of the day is sunset,” she told Modeliste. “My hometown is known to have one of the most beautiful sunsets in Brazil so I started being obsessed with them when I was little. It is the one moment of the day I always look forward to!”

5. Beach Baby

Oliveira is always prepared when she hits the beach. “Sunglasses, for sure! I love Miu Miu sunglasses, Gentle Monster, Ray Ban, and some vintage Chanel sunglasses,” she told W Magazine. “I always put on some sunblock! Especially on my face. And I always try to move my swimsuit while I’m in the sun because I hate tan lines.”

Croatian soccer star Ana Maria Marković is having a fun summer at the Laganini Beach Club on Ciovo Island, Croatia. Marković, 23, shared pictures of herself relaxing on a sun lounger in a pink bathing suit, enjoying a matching pink cocktail. “Summer in pink 👙☀️,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Marković stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Hits the Treadmill

Marković posts videos of her training sessions, which frequently include running on the treadmill. "Many dedicated long-term runners do not run because they want to live longer," says cardiologist Dr. Aaron Baggish, the associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. "They run because it makes them feel better on a daily basis. There is a mood elevating, quality-of-life benefit that comes from being a regular exerciser."

2. Soccer Training

Marković’s career as a soccer player means that by simply doing her job, she gets an incredible workout every time. “It is a game of continuous running and with very little stopping,” says Mercedes Carnethon, PhD. “It also has anaerobic elements – that high intensity where you’re sprinting and then resting – you’re constantly moving.”

3. Years of Athletic Experience

Marković has been training as an athlete since she was 14 years old. “I started playing because of the motivation I felt when I saw that women’s football was growing more and more,” she says. “Also because of the motivation generated by watching some men’s football matches, especially when Cristiano Ronaldo was playing, obviously. I played in some little-known amateur clubs. At first it started as a form of a hobby, but then thanks to all the support I received from my family and my environment, I was improving. I was always a forward, it was what I liked the most – scoring goals.”

4. Coconuts, Please

Marković enjoys fresh coconut water, which is a great alternative to many supermarket sports drinks. “Coconut water is popular for rehydration after exercise or during mild illness,” says Katherine Zeratsky, RD, LD. “It's true that coconut water has electrolytes, such as potassium, sodium and manganese. The amounts vary by brand.”

5. Confidence In Her Goals

Marković has clear-cut goals, which research shows is beneficial for mental health. “My goal always year after year is to be able to compete to win the league and all the trophies that are within our reach,” she says. “The same with Croatia, always being able to give my best both for my club and for my national team and thus be able to win collective titles, which are the ones I give the most importance to.”
