Bernadette Fahey is exercising outdoors – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the Bern Worldwide fitness founder, who recently announced her engagement to Jordan Sukkar, looks sensational during an intense workout session. “Wowowow,” commented one of her followers. “Stunning! 😍🔥,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. 80/20 Diet

“It’s 80:20,” Fahey told Women’s Health about her approach to diet. “You’re not going to be perfect all the time — don’t beat down on yourself if you’re not. We’re human beings, a big part of life is enjoying all of the fun things, whether it’s eating fried foods or having a glass of wine or having a late night.”

2. Hot Water with Lemon Juice

Fahey recommends starting the day with hot water with fresh lemon juice. “The acidity from the lemon kickstarts enzymes in your stomach which will help you digest food and speed up your metabolism. Starting with a hot drink that is not coffee can also help reduce caffeine intake,” she says.

3. Self Care

Fahey also recommends prioritizing self-care. “Identify self-care activities that fill up your cup and bring you joy—this could be a walk in the park, a swim at the beach or having a sauna. Schedule this in your calendar like you would a meeting everyday today,” she says.

4. Mindful Meditation

Fahey is big on meditation. “I’ve always placed a really big emphasis on working out the physical body, but also the mind and the nervous system,” she told Women’s Health. “Each of my sessions begins with breath work and a mindful meditation, and I use organic peppermint oil that further helps facilitate the breath and ground the mind that, ‘Okay, we’re here, we’re getting ready to work out.’” “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

5. Her Method Is Based in Spirituality

Body By Berner has a celebrity following that includes Natalie Portman and Rita Ora and offers Pilates, Yoga, breathwork, meditation and sound healing. Her classes are based in spirituality and she regularly tucks hand-written affirmations under participants mats before class, according to Women’s Health.

Pilates Guru Grace Albin Shares "Power Pilates Abs Routine"

Improve flexibility, strength, and core with her exercises.

Grace Abdin is a fitness expert and influencer. She is best known for creating Pilates workouts, and posting them on Instagram. Abdin recently shared an ab workout on her page. In it, she is seen doing things like oblique twists and rope climbs. Abdin captioned the post, “Abs and obliques on fire. 💥💥💥🤍 You can modify by keeping your hands in the floor for balance. 🤍 Do a forceful exhale on every exertion, each rep. 🤍 10-15 reps of each move. 🤍 1-2 rounds if you're pairing it with yesterday's arm exercises. 3-4 rounds if this is your full workout today.”

She Does Pilates

Pilates is the main thing that keeps Abdin in shape. According to Better Health, it has a lot of health benefits. “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine, improved posture.”

She Works Her Abs

Grace Albin works her abs with the tuck and release movement.

In her Instagram post, Abdin is seen doing a lot of core workouts. According to Harvard Health, having strong core muscles is extremely important. “Whether you're hitting a tennis ball or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core, or move through it. No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make. Properly building up your core cranks up the power. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do.”

She Uses an Exercise Ball

Abdin likes to use an exercise ball to workout. She shared this post on Instagram of herself doing lower body exercises with one. In it, Abdin is seen doing things like calf raises, toe taps, and hip lifts with the ball. She captioned the post, “Glutes, hamstrings, thighs, and calves! 🦵🦵 🤍 Your stability ball should be firm and bouncy, neither under nor overinflated. It should give slightly when you sit on it. 🤍 Go slowly and controlled, that is more effective than rushing through the movements. 🤍 Do each move 10-5 reps. 🤍 1-2 rounds if you're pairing this with yesterday's core routine. 3-4 rounds if this is your full workout today.”

She Uses Weights

Abdin also likes to use weights to workout. She shared some of her favorite dumbbell exercises in this Instagram post. Abdin is seen doing things like reach-over crunches and straight-leg situps with them. She captioned the post, “Spicy moves for core, obliques, and back muscles. If you don't have a dumbbell, improvise with a soup can or water bottle. Do each move 10-15 reps. Go 2-4 rounds.”

She Uses Resistance Bands

Abdin shared this post on Instagram of herself using a resistance band to workout. She is seen doing exercises like hamstring curls, straight leg pulses, and squat walks. Abdin captioned the post, “Seven moves. Use the thickest resistance band you can, while still maintaining good form. You can always switch to a lighter band on your second or third round if the stronger band exhausts your muscles after the first round. 🤍 Do each move 10-15 reps on each side. 🤍 Stretch at least one minute. 🤍 Repeat for 3-5 rounds.”

Cydney Moreau is a fitness influencer and new mom who is easing back into her workout routine after giving birth. In a recent Instagram video, Moreau showed off her impressive kettlebell workout, wearing black spandex shorts and a cropped black tee, while sharing how she’s returning to her fitness regimen. Moreau has been open about staying active during and after pregnancy, incorporating pregnancy-safe workouts and Pilates into her routine. Now, she’s focusing on light weights and kettlebell exercises to regain her strength. As a busy mom, she’s mastered the art of multitasking, even squeezing in workouts in between daily tasks. Beyond the gym, Moreau loves outdoor activities like playing basketball, keeping her active lifestyle varied and engaging.


1. Kettlebell Workouts

Moreau is showing fans how she’s returning to her schedule after recently having a baby. Wearing black spandex workout shorts and a tight black cropped tee, the new mom showed off her kettlebell workout in an Instagram video with the caption, “Finally back to my regular workout routine. Kettlebell exercises can target many different muscles and be a full-body workout. “Kettlebell training provides a low-impact, full-body workout that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health,” according to Shape.

2. She Uses Light Weights

Wearing a barely there red bikini, Moreau worked out using light weights and captioned her post, “Multitasking as a momma." According to Prevention, using light weights has the following benefits:

-Lowering body fat. “With consistent light lifting, your body will look leaner and more toned, and your clothes will fit better.”

-Preserving muscle mass. “Light lifting can slow the decline.”

-Improve bone density. “Using weights encourages cells to form new bone to offset age-related declines in bone mineral density.”

3. She Did Pregnancy Safe Workouts

Cydney Moreau.3Cydney Moreau/Instagram

Throughout her pregnancy, the influencer did pregnancy-safe workouts and shared a video of them and a 21-day challenge she completed. “I am 39 weeks pregnant and using the @bodi app for my everyday workouts. The Bodi app is perfect because I can just open up my phone and do a work out wherever I am. I am able to modify the workouts and make sure I stay on track. Let me know if you guys try this work out!”

4. She Does Pilates

Wearing a cute pastel-colored dress with shorts underneath, Moreau showed off her Pilates skills. Pilates is a fitness trend that’s here to stay and one that should not be ignored. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Pilates has several health benefits, including improved muscle tone, flexibility and strength, pain relief, better posture, and balance and coordination. “The nearly century-old practice of Pilates provides a low-impact, full-body workout that could be a great addition to a well-balanced exercise program,” the site stated. “While the research on the health benefits of Pilates isn’t definitive, it suggests Pilates can positively impact your physical and mental health.”

5. She Plays Basketball

In addition to hitting the gym, Moreau enjoys being active outside and playing basketball. Over 450 million people worldwide play basketball, making it one of the most popular sports. Besides burning calories, it’s also a great cardio workout for your heart. According to StyleCraze, “Basketball is one of the best exercises for heart health! Because you keep moving, your heart rate increases. It also helps in building endurance, which is important when you want to make sure that your heart is healthy. It will help lower the risk of stroke and heart disease later in your life.”

Maureen Blanquisco is modeling workout clothes. In a new social media post the IFBB contestant shows off her incredible body in a blue exercise set, driving her followers wild. “To all my baddies out there! This color makes your tan complexion POP,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “So gorgeous 🩷🥰” commented one. “OKKKAAAY SLAAY SLAAY,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Swimming

When Maureen was younger she was a swimmer. “I always loved competing and performing. I usually call it “performing” instead of competing. Swimming was an individual sport. If I wanted to win, it all depended on me. I never liked depending on a team. If we lost because of them, I would get very frustrated,” she told Muscular Development.

2. Gymnastics and Cheerleading

Silver,Pom,Poms,On,White,Background,IsolationShutterstock

She then moved on to gymnastics and cheerleading. “Cheerleading was fine until one time we fell during a stunt, and it wasn’t my fault. I said, I think I work better alone,” this is when she discovered weights. “I started lifting weights at age 18. That’s around the time you want to look and feel good, putting on makeup. I was doing fitness training anyway, so I started to look for something I could do competitively that fit that. I had always wanted to compete in beauty pageants, but at 5 feet tall I was too short. Then I saw the Bikini Olympia on YouTube, and the woman who stuck out to me the most was India Paulino. She was my first idol! I thought it looked so cool. The women looked amazing, and this was the closest thing to a beauty pageant I could do. I thought I could just go compete in the Olympia. I had no idea you have to turn pro first, then qualify, the whole long process. But in my head, I only had one goal, to go to the Olympia.”

3. Here Is How She Preps for Shows

“I started prepping for the Olympia right after the Boston Pro in March, so that was seven months. It was a very chill prep because I was eating clean, but I was eating more than ever in a prep. I was still dieting, but it was more calories, and I did have one cheat meal a week. Now I see this is the best approach for me: a longer prep but with more food,” Maureen said.

4. Her “Breaks” Involve Cardio

When she does go on vacation, she still exercises. “I did go on vacation to Hawaii with my partner the week after the Olympia. That was on my bucket list. I did cardio every day, but I took five days off from weights. I had a couple of treats, but nothing crazy,” she says.

5. She Doesn’t “Gain Too Much” During the Offseason

Marueen avoids overindulging in the off season. “I have a very clear mindset that if I gain too much, it will be a lot harder for me,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “In Bikini, it’s all about condition, and while you could be ‘too’ hard, you certainly can’t be soft, either.”

Senada Greca may be on vacation, but she is just as dedicated to her workout routine as when she’s at home. Greca shared videos of herself doing an upper body and abdominal workout, wearing black exercise gear as she put herself through her paces in the bright sunshine of St. Barts. She also shared exactly which moves she was doing, breaking them down for each video. reca’s incredible, strong, toned physique is all the advertisement she needs for her training routine—here’s what her exercise regimen and diet look like.


1. Her Fitness Philosophy

Greca’s workouts are focused on strength training with weights and resistance bands. “I am a sincere believer that fitness and movement should be an inseparable part of someone’s life. We were born to be active, born to be mobile,” she told Glamour South Africa. “Thus, I encourage people to make movement fun and interesting, and in turn sustainable… I like to focus on legs 2-3 days per week, on upper body 2 days, and 1 full body workout per week. Sunday I work abs and throw in some fun active-rest work, like bicycling or a long walk.”

2. Lots of Protein

Greca’s diet is centered around protein intake. “I’m a flexible eater. My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track,” she told Glamour South Africa. “I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

3. Strength Through Aging

4. Sustainable Changes

Greca encourages beginners to start with small, sustainable steps on their journey to fitness—and to keep a positive mindset. “I know where I have been mentally and physically when fitness wasn’t a part of my life, so wanting to keep the monsters of anxiety and depression away keeps me motivated and accountable,” she told Glamour South Africa. “I know for many, self-talk is an inhibitor, but for me it is the most persuasive and consistent accountability partner I could ever have. One just needs to change that self talk into being positive and encouraging.”

5. Full Workout

Here is Greca’s upper body abs workout in full, according to her post: “Upper / Abs Workout No Equipment, Anywhere so Save and Share 👯‍♀️. To train with The Senada Method, WeRise App Iink in my BIO 💪 Yes… I work out on vacation because to me, working out is not a chore, but rather a way to care for my body and mind. When we shift our perspective from “I have to” to “I get to”, then working out becomes not only enjoyable but also sustainable 🫶.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

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

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?
