Bar Refaeli In Workout Gear Says “I Am a Tennis Player Now”

Supermodel Bar Refaeli is trying new hobbies in the new year, and sharing her efforts on social media. Refaeli, 38, posted pictures of herself posing next to a tennis net, wearing leggings and an oversized sweatshirt as she performed stretches on the court. “I am a tennis player now 🎾 almost,” she captioned the post. Refaeli has modeled since she was a teenager and shows no sign of slowing down—here’s what her diet and workouts look like.

1. Diet and Workout

Refaeli believes working out encourages a healthy diet and vice versa. "I work out a lot,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I like to look good and feel good. I do Pilates and TRX four times a week for an hour each time. I'm not very careful with my diet but when you work out a lot you want to keep healthy. Eating healthily makes you want to work out more because your body is more alive. If I'm craving something I'll have it, but I don't really crave bad things."

2. Lifting Heavy Weights

Refaeli frequently posts videos of her workouts, which are strongly focused on strength training with weights and resistance bands. “The benefits of using resistance bands for strength training are endless,” Aaptiv trainer and owner of Trainers in Transit Jennifer Giamo tells Aaptiv.com. “You can perform exercises for every major muscle group, challenge your existing routine ([for example], add them to push-ups for increased difficulty). You can also increase your range of motion, flexibility and muscular endurance.”

3. Makeup Tricks

Refaeli has learned what works for her when it comes to beauty. "I now know my face - what looks good and what doesn't look good,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I let makeup artists do their job because they know best but I know my face more than they do, so if they're good they usually ask me what I like, but it's also learning what works for you or doesn't. Makeup artists have taught me to use a tinted cream blush (I like NARS, Shiseido and Chanel) on the cheekbones, eyelids and lips, applied using fingers. It looks like a touch of light."

4. Alter Ego

Refaeli goes into character when she’s working. "I feel like my job is my alter ego; it’s a different me and I love it," she told Hello!. "I’m a Gemini! Behind the camera, I’m totally different. I don’t wear make-up, I don’t wear heels and I’m very basic. But I love the fact I have this job and it gives me the opportunity to dress up."

5. Strike a Pose

Refaeli learned to pose by studying other models in magazines. "It's a matter of experience,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I've done a lot of learning. I used to buy a lot of fashion magazines and see all the poses of the girls. I'd buy Sports Illustrated and see the specific poses and how girls look better and the best angles – it's like reading up on material for a test and learning what's good."

Model Bar Refaeli recently posted a new photo on her Instagram showing off her body. Refaeli posted a mirror selfie in her bathroom wearing a light green patterned bikini.

However, Refaeli tells Shedyourweight.com that she doesn’t fall victim to those pressures. “I don’t feel the need to be super skinny, but being in shape is important. But even if I wasn’t in this industry I would still want to look after myself and be healthy and keep my body in good condition,” she says.

While Refaeli doesn’t put pressure on herself to lose weight, she does still commit to a healthy lifestyle, especially when she has a shoot. "If I have a major shoot or fashion show coming up and I want to look my best, then I’ll spend a little extra time working out or I’ll stick to eating salads and chicken for a few days. I would never go on some crazy fad diet or eat anything weird to get thinner – it’s just not good for your body,” she says to Shedyourweight.com.

5. She Avoids Fad Diets

Refaeli tells Shedyourweight.com that she doesn’t follow a specific diet, and just tries to eat healthy. “I don’t diet and I don’t have an eating plan, but I like to eat healthily. I don’t deny myself anything and there’s nothing I wouldn’t eat. I like desserts – I like food full-stop, but I exercise and I’m young, so everything keeps in check.” Refaeli also condemned fad diets to POPSugar.com, saying, "I would never go on some crazy fad diet or eat anything weird to get thinner — it is just not good for your body."

Rachel Stuhlmann, known for her dynamic presence as a model and tennis influencer, brings her passion for wellness, sports, and fitness to every aspect of her life. In a recent Instagram post, she shared behind-the-scenes glimpses of creating her content, showcasing her dedication to the sport and the energy she brings to each shoot. “BTS filming of a tennis drill w the bestie😭💕🎾,” she captioned the video, giving fans a sneak peek into her content creation process. Whether she’s playing tennis, staying disciplined in her fitness routine, or sharing her wellness journey, Stuhlmann’s approach is all about intentionality and joy. Here’s a closer look at the habits that keep her active, healthy, and balanced.

1. She Plays Tennis

Tennis is one of the ways that Stuhlmann stays in shape. Better Health states that tennis has a lot of health benefits. “Playing tennis has many health benefits including: increasing aerobic capacities, lowering resting heart rate and blood pressure, improving metabolic function, increasing bone density, lowering body fat, improving muscle tone, strength and flexibility, increasing reaction times.”

2. She Plays Pickleball

Stuhlmann also plays pickleball to keep herself in shape. The Cleveland Clinic states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Sports like pickleball stress your muscles and bones. Your body responds by making them stronger. Routine pickleball play can help you: Improve muscle strength. Prevent osteoporosis, a disease that weakens your bones and can lead to fractures.”

3. She Values Wellness

Stuhlmann opened up about her wellness journey in an interview with Fitness Gurls. “My whole life has been tennis; however, there was a short time right after college when I shifted much of my focus from the tennis world to fitness training. I think I was just so excited to be finished with only being able to do tennis-specific workouts and for the first time in my life, I had the freedom to do whatever workouts I wanted to! I began weight training, working out extremely hard, and focusing on my nutrition. I went all in; I did two strategic workouts a day and followed a weighed-out meal plan given to me by a nutritionist who helped me reach my goals.”

4. She’s Disciplined

Stuhlmann talked about the discipline that she gained from tennis in her Fitness Gurls interview. “I loved being an athlete, and playing college tennis taught me many qualities—time management, work ethic, and resilience. Committing to my studies was not as easy for me as developing my tennis career. Fortunately, I was provided with great tutors and mentors at Mizzou that helped me stay on top of my studies. Sometimes outsourcing and working as a team with other people is a good way to succeed. I was super disciplined with my training and workout routines, and once I finished playing in college, I transferred that into my professional career. Now instead of preparing and training for big tennis matches, I focus on everything I have going on in my professional life and how I can best show up for all the various work I do within the sport.”

5. She Plans Her Workouts

Stuhlmann likes to plan out her workouts ahead of time. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I told you that this year I’m hitting these workouts hard, and with confidence!☺️🔥🧡💪With such a busy schedule, it’s important for me to have efficient and effective workouts & meal plans. Through years of experience (and trial & error🙂), I have figured out what works for me to stay fit and healthy!💯😌”
