1. Tennis and Running

Williamson fits her workouts around her very busy schedule. “I wake up early,” she says. “Drink my coffee while making my [son’s] lunch and getting him set for school. Then school drop off, then a workout... I either spin, or run, or play tennis, or once in a while see a trainer for some real torture. I then shower and head to whichever restaurant needs me that day. I try to hit at least 2 spots in a day to see what's going on. Sometimes if work allows, I'll drive carpool to a tennis lesson or a soccer game, or sometimes I'll hang at work till a bit later and have dinner at one of the restaurants with my husband and son before heading home and spending some time catching up on emails. I try as often as possible to be home to put my son to bed to make up for all the times I can't when I'm traveling. I love the spontaneity of my job, but also sometimes crave some routine.”

2. Healthy During the Week

Williamson tries to eat healthily during the week so she has leeway on the weekends. “I often don’t feel centered,” she says. “When I am home, I make an extra special effort to keep myself physically healthy. I exercise a lot. I try to exercise every day—partially for my sanity and also because I know what I put myself through takes a lot out of me. I eat very healthy at home. I try not to drink during the week if I'm at home. I also don’t watch what I eat or drink when I leave town. So it’s extremes. For exercise, I run and I play tennis. Those are two go-tos. I used to do a lot of spinning, but I got back into running and I love what it does for my head.”

3. What Makes Her Happy

Williamson takes joy in the simple things. “You know what? I’m actually most happy with myself when something is perfectly seasoned and cooked properly,” she says. “So like, it doesn’t really matter what I’m cooking. If I brine a pork tenderloin for the perfect number of hours or if a marinade for steak has that perfect balance… ‘Cause I don’t really measure anything. So it’s kind of always a crapshoot. If I execute perfectly, then I’m pretty satisfied. But if I can do something well, that’s what makes me satisfied.”

4. Strong Family Life

Williamson protects her family life in order to stay happy and healthy. “When I'm making a point to be mindful of my food, sleep, and fitness,” she says. “The physicality of my job, not to mention all of the traveling I do, is taxing... Sometimes I need to reset and pay attention to everything that I'm putting my body through on a daily basis. That I've managed to maintain my family and my marriage through all the chaos that is our everyday life. I work in an industry of work or get worked... I'm proud that I haven't let that dictate my family life.”

5. Strawberries and Popcorn

Williamson enjoys getting fresh produce from the farmer’s market. “We do a lot of fresh berries and grapes,” she says. “My son loves strawberries. We get strawberries at the farmers market, rinse them, and always have them ready. We love to make popcorn at home, so sometimes I’ll make a big batch and [top] it with fun, different seasonings. I’ll add some garlic or onion salt to jazz it up. We are into a drizzle of melted butter, and I have this truffle powder. I don't love truffle oil, but the truffle powder is delicious. [Then I’ll add] some sea salt. And a powdered cheese never fails. Recently, at work, I put a dish on the menu that is garnished with popcorn seasoned with turmeric and fennel pollen. So it is light yellow and tastes fennel-y.”

In addition to starring on the hit reality series Love Island, AJ Bunker is also a fighter. She recently returned to the ring and documented her process on Instagram. In a recent post, Bunker shared photos from the event. In some of them, she wore a blue and white swimsuit. Bunker captioned the post, “Fight week complete.”How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways AJ Bunker stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Rides Quad Bikes

Bunker likes to do a lot of outdoor activities to stay in shape. She shares a bunch of photos of herself doing so on Instagram. One thing Bunker likes to do is ride quad bikes. She posted this photo of herself going for a ride in the Marrakech desert. Bunker captioned the post, “Had the best day ending 2019 quad biking around the Moroccan desert.”

2. She Swims

Another outdoor activity Bunker likes to do is go swimming. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself at the beach or the pool. Bunker posted these photos of herself and her friends enjoying time at the beach in Portugal. She captioned the post, “Missing the Portuguese sun and these gorgeous girls! 🥰💖Also happy Saturday angels. What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend!”

3. She Weight Trains

While prepping for her fights, Bunker shared her training process on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is weight train. Bunker appeared in this gym video Instagram collaboration with MF Daxn Series. In it, she is seen doing bicep curls, dual pulley rows, and deadlifts, among other things. According to The Mayo Clinic, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

4. She Boxes

Being a boxer is naturally one of the ways Bunker stays in shape. Boxing has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states, “Fitness boxing is also a great aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise gets your heart pumping and helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It can strengthen bones and muscles, burn more calories, and lift mood. Aerobics can also boost your endurance, which helps you climb a flight of stairs or walk farther. Plus, aerobic exercise is associated with improvement in certain brain functions.”

5. She Gets Sunshine

Sunshine offers a multitude of health benefits, both physically and mentally. Exposure to sunlight boosts the body's production of vitamin D, essential for bone health, immune system function, and reducing inflammation. It also helps regulate the body's internal clock, or circadian rhythm, improving sleep quality and mood. Sunlight can enhance mood by increasing serotonin levels, reducing the risk of seasonal affective disorder. It encourages outdoor activity, promoting physical fitness and reducing sedentary behavior. Furthermore, natural sunlight can improve vision health, reduce stress, and even lower blood pressure. Overall, moderate sun exposure, when combined with protective measures, can greatly enhance well-being.

Susie Evans is showing Clayton Echard what he is missing. In one of her latest social media posts, the Bachelor star shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit during a day on Venice Beach. “Motion blur is fun,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “You’re gorgeous even blurry!!” commented one of her followers. “Beautyyyy,” added another. How does the reality star keep herself strong and sexy? Here are 5 of her top health habits.

1. Snorkling and Diving

Susie is always up for an adventure – especially if it involves a snorkel mask and fins. During a recent trip to Hawaii, she even went shark diving. “Honestly… I’m not known to chicken out but this was one of those things that REALLY tested my ability to get outside the comfort zone. I am so glad I got in the water but I definitely peed in the water from fear alone. #sharks #sharkdiving #hawaii,” she captioned an Instagram video.

2. Jiu-Jitsu

Susie is a Blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. “I fell in love with jiu jitsu in Japan. I walked by Paraestra Tokyo Bay everyday for over a year. I would look from outside and wish that I could join but didn’t believe I was capable and I didn’t speak Japanese to even go in to ask,” she captioned a post. Eventually, during her final six months of her two years in Japan, she joined the class. “I had no idea how much it would change my life. I had never loved something so much, I would come to every single class possible. I would race my bike from work as fast as I could to make it to class in time and stay after to watch the advance class to learn more, until one day I was invited to join the advanced class. I spent as many nights and weekends training as possible. I had never worked so hard at something in my entire life - I also had never failed so hard at something in my entire life. 😅 My only regret was not starting sooner.. I wasted a year walking by the gym afraid to go in. (I won’t do that again)” she continued. “Jiu jitsu has taught me so many lessons- one being that you have to keep fighting when you face something tough. I’ve had several major life changing experiences (good and bad) in my personal life that have literally moved me all over and forced me to make tough decisions that took my jiu jitsu journey all over.”

3. Going for Walks While Listening to Podcasts

Susie keeps herself motivated to walk by listening to podcasts. “Started the morning with a super long walk by the beach listening to one of my favorite podcasts (The Goal Digger) and setting intentions for my video business. It was such a positive way to start off my day, I’m going to make an effort to start my mornings like this more often. I also got a surprise guest visit by a little cutie on the beach!” she captioned this photo.

4. Meal Prepping Sessions

Susie cooks and meal preps. She and her former flame, Clayton, used to meal prep together on a regular basis.

5. AMRAP Workouts

Susie is all about this dumbbell AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 20 min workout. Here is her circuit:

• Sumo squats x 15 reps
• Front / lateral raises x 15 reps
• Lunge to press x 10 reps
• In and outs x 10 reps
