Anya Taylor-Joy says she is happiest being barefoot in nature, so of course she was thrilled to experience one of the most beautiful spots in California—Yosemite National Park. Taylor-Joy, 28, shared pictures and video from the trip, including ones of herself wearing a tank top and baseball hat, standing in front of a beautiful waterfall, and (of course) making friends with a squirrel. “YOSEMITE ♥️🗻♥️,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Taylor-Joy’s health and (witchy) wellness regimen looks like.


1. Moving Meditation

Taylor-Joy’s workouts are her way of clearing out the cobwebs. “I’ve realized exercise is not just a way of making sure your body is strong, but that if you’re not taking care of yourself and giving back to your body, your body is going to end up failing you,” she told Glamour. “As someone who has so much energy and is spinning around all the time, being able to do a conscious moving meditation such as kickboxing, reformer Pilates or dancing, is an hour where I can shut my brain off.”

2. Dancing Queen

Taylor-Joy loves to dance at home to release energy. “You just kind of stomp around and sing and release your feelings,” she told Glamour. “It can be very easy to fall into your own shell and you need to connect again to the fire in your belly and your soul. I love being barefoot. I love being in nature. The more simple it is, the happier I usually am.”

3. Witchy Wellness

Taylor-Joy loved her role in The Witch, and how more people are embracing alternative wellness routines. “I’m such a big believer in cosmic destiny and putting one foot in front of the other, and my feet led me to that film,” she told Vanity Fair. “It’s been really fun watching [that kind of wellness] take off. I think it’s wrong for O.G. witches to be like, ‘Ugh, now everyone has crystals.’ It’s like, Yes! Amazing. People are starting to open their minds to the idea of minerals having properties that can help you out, and it being less ‘inject this; this will make you feel great.’ Just maybe take a couple of breaths and hold on to this crystal.”

4. Skincare Routine

Taylor-Joy loves using oils (such as avocado oil) on her face. “Growing up in Argentina, I was very much the roll-in-the-dirt kind of kid—the ultimate tomboy,” she told Vanity Fair. “So it took me a while to start washing my face, but now that I have makeup on it a lot, I like this cleanser by Chanel called Sublimage. It’s the one thing that doesn’t ever make me break out because I have such sensitive skin. There’s a nutrient mist by True Botanicals which is really nice.”

5. Alone Time

Taylor-Joy’s idea of self-care is to spend time alone with a book. “Sometimes I find meditation quite hard,” she told Vogue. “It’s not about trying to stop the thoughts. It’s just about being okay with them and not judging yourself for it. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be calm, but I think you just need to accept where you are at this moment in time and be generous with yourself.”

Finola Hughes is an actress. She’s known for her roles on Charmed, General Hospital, and All My Children. She and her dogs went on a hike in April, and she shared a photo on Instagram. Hughes captioned the post, “Hike…. #Lily (#Johnny was off finding a stick).” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Finola Hughes stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Has A Dog

Hughes has dogs whom she features on her Instagram, and even in the post. Harvard Health states that owning a dog has a lot of benefits. “Dog owners have lower blood pressure and healthier cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of heart disease, than non-owners. There are also many psychological benefits to having a pooch around. Dog owners are less prone to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed.”

2. She Practices Yoga

Hughes shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Boston Magazine. She says that she loves to practice yoga. “I like a vigorous flow, ashtanga, and sometimes Bikram. I try to practice at least three time per week. I sometimes take my yoga mat into my dressing room if I haven’t managed to go.”

3. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Hughes does a variety of workouts, and shared what she enjoys doing with Boston Magazine. “I love walking and swimming, and I also take online ballet classes. I used to be a ballet dancer, I started when I was three. I was dancing on television at 15 and in a ballet company at 18. I was in the original cast of Cats over in London. I’ve done everything, really. I took my kids rock climbing the other day. I love spin classes, and I even have my own spin shoes. I love bootcamp, too. I love paddleboarding. Actually, I have not yet found something that I don’t like.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Hughes makes sure to eat healthy. She described her diet with Boston Magazine. “I’m not really into fad diets. My family and I am more inclined towards the Mediterranean way of eating. We eat very European in that respect. Rice and fish, olive oil… we grow all our own vegetables where I live in Santa Barbara. We have two vegetable plots with fruit trees, different lettuces, corn, beets, potatoes, strawberries, loads of berries, apples, and more. We eat off the land.”

5. She Hikes

As you can see from her Instagram post, Hughes likes to hike. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis.”

Highly recommend it.” Wondering how she stays in such great shape? Read on to discover five ways Danielle Campbell keeps fit, along with the photos that showcase her fitness routine.

As you can see from her post, Campbell likes to hike to stay in shape. According to Piedmont, hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight.”

In this TikTok, Campbell is seen working out in the gym. She made sure to not skip leg day. Campbell is seen doing leg motions from a plank and donkey kicks. Piedmont reports that lower body workouts are important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance. Strengthen your bones. Reduce joint pain. Reduce your risk of injury, particularly in your back and knees.”

3. She Lifts Weights

In the TikTok, Campbell is seen doing deadlifts with two kettlebells. Strength training workouts, like these, have a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic reports, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.”

4. She Bikes

Campbell likes to ride bikes to stay in shape. She shared this photo of herself and a friend riding near the beach. A Healthier Michigan states that biking has a lot of benefits. “All that work your body is doing by pedaling and balancing not only works muscles in your arms and core, but it counts as serious cardio exercise and burns calories with every spin of the wheels. By biking at a moderate pace, about 12 or 13 miles per hour, a person weighing 155 pounds burns nearly 300 calories in 30 minutes, according to statistics shared by Harvard University. Like to pedal faster? A person of that same weight doing a fast pace of 14 or 15 miles per hour burns more than 370 calories in 30 minutes.”

5. She Swims

Campbell is seen swimming in this video she posted on Instagram. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength, provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer enjoys hiking, but with a caveat. Schumer posted a hilarious video to her Instagram of her hiking with her husband, chef Chris Fischer. Schumer is seen saying that her and Fischer are on a romantic hike, then shows Fischer walking faster and is way ahead of her. Schumer jokingly asked her husband, “We love hiking, together?” She captioned the video “#hiking #romantichikes.” Schumer has been open about her diet and exercise routines, and her struggles. Here are five things Amy Schumer does to stay in shape.


1. She Goes Hiking

As seen in the video, Schumer takes hikes with her husband. Hiking is a great form of exercise for both your body. “When you walk on a level surface, your body does a really good job of what’s known as passive dynamics,” Daniel Ferris, a professor of engineering and biomechanics at the University of Florida, told Time Magazine. “Thanks to gravitational and kinetic energy, if I start that pendulum swinging, it’s going to keep moving back and forth for a long time without any additional energy input,” he says. But hiking also can have a positive impact on your mind. "Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety, " says Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society said to WebMD. "Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."

2. She Embraces Her Body

Schumer has been a long advocate for body positivity and has stood up to body shamers on social media. "I look in the mirror and I know who I am and I feel beautiful and I feel strong and sexy," she said in an interview on Ellen. "And the people online trolling [me] are in more pain that we can possibly imagine. For women of all ages there's no one too young or too old to understand. It never stops and it really has to be about knowing who you are."

3. She Has SoulCycled

In an interview with InStyle, Schumer revealed that she loves to go with a close friend to the gym, specifically a SoulCycle class. Schumer said, “For exercise, I’ll text [actress] Rachel Feinstein and ask her if she wants to go to a SoulCycle class. We ride very slowly in the back, but they don’t make us feel bad about that. Afterward, we celebrate the workout with a very long lunch and coffee. We’re like elderly women on the Upper West Side.”

4. She Has Had a Personal Trainer

After having a baby in 2019, Schumer began working with trainer, and founder of Corectology, AJ Fisher. While she has joked about sending Fisher a cease and desist, Schumer praised Fisher on her Instagram. “Aj is an amazing trainer and is the reason I feel strong and good and have recovered from my herniated discs and c section,” Schumer wrote. Fisher has posted a lot of her workouts on her Instagram, and her methods focus on alignment and body positioning. In addition, Schumer also works with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak.

5. She Varies Her Workouts

One of Schumer’s trainers, Harley Pasternak, says that he likes to vary Schumer’s workouts. “The exercises sometimes vary, but I usually pick one exercise for each of the seven major body parts,” Pasternak says to Health.com. “Sometimes I have her just pick one of these exercises and do anywhere from three to five sets with 15 to 30 reps. Other times I'll have her do all seven exercises, doing one to three sets of 15 to 20 reps.”

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

Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • 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?
