Below Deck star Aesha Scott is giving fans a glimpse at her workout and exercise regimen. Scott, 31, shared a picture of herself posing on the gym floor in black shorts and a matching sports bra, her hair up in a ponytail. “People often ask me what my workout plan is and I truly don't have one! I just love finding some way to move my body each day because it makes me feel soooo much more energized!!! Always in the morning because it makes me sooo productive all day 🏃🏽‍♀️🤸🏾‍♂️🧗🏽‍♀️🏊🏼‍♀️🏋🏽‍♀️🙌🏽,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Scott stays active and happy.

1. Outdoorsy Culture


Scott takes full advantage of the beautiful New Zealand climate to hike and spend time outdoors in Mount Maunganui as much as possible. “It is just unbeatable in its beauty, especially looking down from on top of the Mount,” she told Bon Voyaged. “I also love Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel and a great hidden gem is a walk to Homunga Bay near Waihi.”

2. I’m a Celeb Training

Scott appeared on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2023 and says her training was intense. “My best friend has been like, ‘Now a lion’s running after you! Go, go, go!’ While I do these crawls on the floor,” she told News.com.au. “Then she’s like, ‘Now something else is taking you!’ While I’m trying to do pull-ups. Basically, we’ve been pretending I’m in the jungle at the gym.”

3. Food Training

Scott also made herself eat food she considered disgusting in preparation for her time in the jungle. “I hate seafood. And so I had to eat a mussel and then I had to eat raw salmon, which people seek out voluntarily,” she told News.com.au. “And both of those things, I was just gagging, retching, tears coming down my face. It took me about 10 minutes to get each one down.”

4. Rugged Beach Hikes

Scott loves the beautiful beaches of her homeland. “The beaches in New Zealand are all very wide and long and protected. You can't build cafes and restaurants on them so they stay very raw and rugged,” she told Bon Voyaged. “It’s a 4-8 hour hike that goes up and over Mount Tongariro volcano with other volcanoes right next to you. It looks as though you are walking through Mars but with tropical looking lakes dotted along. It would have to be one of the best day hikes in the world!”

5. Glass Half Full

Scott tries to maintain a positive outlook in life. "It's just my outlook on life is don't stress about things that you can't control because how is stressing going to help anything?” she told The Daily Dish. “So be happy and appreciate the things that are good and having a lot of gratitude," she said. "And then you realize that every day is awesome, you know?"

Posing in her new workout gear on Instagram, Henry is clearly a force to be reckoned with in the gym. She built her community of 7.6M followers, aiming to inspire others to get their fitness goals in check. She’s a content creator, fitness fanatic, model, and influencer inspiring others to take care of their health, as well. What exactly does Katya do to stay fit? Here are some of her secrets to keeping herself in tiptop shape.


1. She uses dumbbells

You don’t always need a gym full of massive machines or intense equipment to see results. She does her strength training using dumbbells at times. “Limited equipment at your gym? here’s my fav [dumbbell] 🍑 workout @wbkfit,” she said on Instagram. 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.”

2. She does light cardio

She avoids actually resting on rest days, but instead takes it easy a bit. “On rest days.. we don’t rest! we do light cardio and core ❣️these are my staple deep core exercises I’ve been doing for the last month to snatch my waist and fix my diastasis recti/ab separation ✨mommy tummy✨ @wbkfit,” she said.

3. She started the All About Me Era

She finds the humor in life, made clear by her poem. “May the booty get fatter and my stomach become flatter. Amen. Keeping active up until my All About Me Era begins on January 15th 💫 I can’t wait. @wbkfit,” she said on Instagram.

4. She goes easy on herself in her body is recovering

She recognizes when her body needs a break. “Today’s first official workout back! 6 weeks post breast augmentation and I’m finally ready to get back to it, taking it easy still, I’ll be sticking to machines first few workouts. Started with some bands, jumped into some machines for the legs n booty, cooled down with some stair master (my fav) and ended with a few deep core exercises bc I promised myself that everyyy day I’d work this mama of 2 tummy ☺️💪🏽,” she said on Instagram.

5. It’s not just about the booty gains

She works hard to sculpt her peach. Tagging @wbkfit, she said in the caption “8 Week Hourglass Challenge- week 5 day 1 ⚡️ im an upper body girl now guys. Half way through and I’m seeing major changes, toning up especially in my arms and back wooohooo! 💪🏽 here’s some of my workout today, save and try,” she said on Instagram captioned on a video of her knocking out some upper body moves.

Paige VanZant, the mixed martial artist, just posted a new revealing photo on her Instagram. The fighter lounged in a pool wearing a blue bikini, showing off her toned body. VanZant revealed that she had just finished a workout, and didn’t get a photo of it, so she decided to post a revealing photo instead. Read on to see 6 ways Paige VanZant 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’s A Fighter

VanZant is a professional mixed martial arts fighter and boxer. Naturally, this means she’s in top shape at all times. Boxing and martial arts are a great way of getting exercise, and can help with muscle building and burning calories. A 2017 study in Biology of Sport states that boxing can increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.

2. She Takes Ice Baths

In this reel from her Instagram, VanZant revealed that she likes to take ice baths to help her muscles recover. Ice baths, while cold, are a great way to help your body recover from a tough workout. Elizabeth Gardner, MD, tells Byrdie that ice baths work well because of the “rapid dilation of the blood vessels also delivers much-needed oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which in theory should help them to recover after a hard workout.”

3. She Enjoys Time in The Pool

VanZant loves to spend time in the pool, and posts a lot of poolside and swimming photos and videos on Instagram.

4. She Works Out With Her Husband

VanZant and her husband, fellow MMA fighter, Austin Vanderford, like to workout together. They sometimes will work out with the same coach. VanZant posted this video on Instagram of the couple exercising together. She captioned the video, “Couples who workout together stay together.”

5. She Weight Trains

VanZant is a fan of weight training, and she isn’t afraid to do some heavy lifting. Literally. VanZant posted this video on Instagram of herself lifting a large barbell. She captioned the video, “What’s the weight???;) Getting stronger with coach @evertonvoliviera at @americantopteam.”

6. She Does Yoga

Chyna Cho, a celebrated CrossFit athlete, recently lit up the competition floor at the Aloha Games, sharing the exhilaration with her Instagram followers. In her post, Cho exudes joy, highlighting the blend of intense fitness challenges and the camaraderie among participants. Her caption, “I HAD SO MUCH FUN THROWING DOWN WITH MY FRIENDS. LOTS OF FITNESS, EVEN MORE LAUGHS. THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE ON AND OFF THE COMPETITION FLOOR. ☺️”, encapsulates the spirit of the event—competitive yet filled with laughter and fellowship. This insight not only reflects her athletic prowess but also her appreciation for the community aspect of CrossFit, underscoring how the sport fosters both physical and social wellness.


1. She Does CrossFit

CrossFit is the main way Cho stays in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing some CrossFit exercises. Cho talked about what she loves about it in the post’s caption, “I AM SO HAPPY TO BE DOING CROSSFIT A FEW TIMES A WEEK AGAIN. I AM DEFINITELY DYING MORE THAN USUAL BUT IT’S SO WORTH IT. 😜🤘🏽TODAY’S FUN WAS A 15 MIN AMRAP.”

2. She Lifts Weights

Cho likes to lift weights to stay in shape. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen doing a section of her workout with a barbell. Cho also posted this video of herself doing kettlebell workouts. She captioned that post, “MONDAY THINGS. 🙃🩷I’M PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE DONE DOUBLE KB SNATCHES (AND IT SHOWS LOL). 😆🫣ALMOST 15 YEARS OF CROSSFIT AND I’M STILL DOING NEW MOVEMENTS. PRETTY F-ING COOL! 🤘🏽”

3. She Pushes Herself

Cho makes sure to push herself when she works out. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “IT’S ALWAYS A LITTLE INTIMIDATING TO DO A REPEAT OPEN WORKOUT. THIS WORKOUT WAS EXTRA INTIMIDATING FOR ME SINCE I DID SO WELL IN 2014 … 🫣THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. I AM 9 YEARS OLDER. I AM STILL TRAINING HARD BUT NOT THE WAY I USED TO. I HONESTLY WASN’T SURE IF I WAS CAPABLE OF BEATING MY OLD SCORE. I GOT TO THE MUSCLE UPS FASTER THAN MY YOUNGER SELF, BUT I TOOK LONGER ON THIS MOVEMENT THIS TIME AROUND (ABOUT :45). REGARDLESS, I IMPROVED AND I AM VERY PROUD THAT I DID. ☺️”

4. She Uses A Rowing Machine

In the previous Instagram video, Cho is seen using a rowing machine. The Cleveland Clinic states that using a rowing machine has a lot of health benefits. “Your abdominal muscles, lower back, obliques, glutes and hamstrings all get a workout during a session on a rowing machine. If you follow proper form, your core will be engaged during every single step of the rowing process. Strengthening those muscles is also key to maintaining stability and building speed.”

5. She Uses A Stationary Bike

Cho likes to use a stationary bike to keep herself in shape. She is seen using the machine in this Instagram video. Cho captioned the post, “FUN (WELL, KINDA) INTERVAL STYLE WORKOUT I WROTE FOR MYSELF. 😋” Penn State PRO Wellness states that using a stationary bike has a lot of health benefits. “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

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

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? 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.
