Beyoncé is perhaps the biggest star in the music industry. She’s been in the public eye since she was young, and she appeared on Star Search as a member of the group Girls Tyme. That band would eventually become Destiny’s Child. In 2003, Beyoncé launched her solo career, with the album “Dangerously In Love.” Since then, she’s topped the charts with everything she’s released, most recently, “Renaissance.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Beyoncé 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 Stretches

Beyoncé works with trainer Marco Borges, to help her stay in shape. He shared some of the singer’s fitness secrets in an interview with Glamour. Borges says that he makes sure that Beyoncé is able to recover from a session with him. "I stretch B at the end of every workout,” he says.

2. She Does Sprints

Beyoncé sometimes has to perform on stage for hours. For this reason, she has to have good stamina and endurance. Borges does a lot of cardio workouts with Beyoncé. He tells Glamour that he usually has the singer doing sprints. "Sprints are ideal for building stamina and explosiveness,” Borges explains. “Which B needs to move across the stage.”

3. She Limited Herself

After having her twins in 2017, Beyoncé prepared to return to the stage to headline Coachella. She documented the process in her Netflix documentary, Homecoming. Beyoncé says that she limited certain foods to lose the baby weight. “In order to meet my goal, I'm limiting myself to no bread, no carbs, no dairy, no meat, no fish, no alcohol,” she revealed in the film. “And I'm hungry.”

4. She Still Indulges

Beyoncé is open about her love of food. She usually makes sure to eat healthy. However, she does like to have a cheat day once in a while. "I always treat myself to one meal on Sundays,” Beyoncé revealed to Shape. “When I can have whatever I want. Usually it's pizza, which is my favorite indulgence.”

5. She Weight Trains

One thing Beyoncé does to keep herself in shape is weight train. She tells SELF, "I'll put on a song that I really like and do [biceps curls with] five-pound weights [for] the whole song and just try to burn out.” Using weights has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

6. She Works Hard

Beyoncé makes sure to work hard. Especially when it comes to wellness. "The truth is it's a lot of sacrifice,” she tells SELF. “It's more about your mental strength than physical strength. You have to push yourself. It doesn't matter what trainer you have. And it doesn't matter what program you're on. You have to be healthy and make the right choices.”

7. She Doesn't Want To Pressure Herself

In an interview with Vogue, Beyoncé opened up about being in the public eye. She says that she wants to start embracing her natural body more. "I put pressure on myself to lose all the baby weight in three months, and scheduled a small tour to assure I would do it. Looking back, that was crazy…It’s important for women and men to see and appreciate the beauty in their natural bodies.”

Superstar Shakira has been in the public eye for well over 20 years, making a name for herself with her unique dancing style and incredible musical talent. She seems to have endless energy, as anyone who has witnessed her live performances can attest to. The Hips Don’t Lie singer, 46, seems to be getting fitter with age—but how does she do it? Here’s what Shakira does to stay fit, healthy, and happy, and what her favorite food and exercise looks like.

1. Some Dancing, Of Course

"Elvis" Red Carpet - The 75th Annual Cannes Film FestivalDaniele Venturelli/WireImage

Shakira is a fantastic dancer—so no wonder she had plenty of dance-based workouts and rehearsals before the 2020 Super Bowl. “Every day is different because I want to make sure I’m preparing her not just for the Super Bowl, but for each day as it comes,” says her trainer Anna Kaiser. “She had a really long dance rehearsal in the afternoon one day, so we just focused on an hour of pure strength in the morning. [Some days] she has even longer days of physical dance rehearsals, so she just started with something very short: 20 minutes.”

2. Healthy Delicious Diet

Shakira enjoys a balanced, nutritious diet that doesn’t sacrifice taste. “Breakfast could be eggs or avocado with olive oil, tomato, sea salt, then a smoothie, berries, plant protein, sometimes greens or green powder,” Kaiser says. “Then for lunch, we have fish and fresh vegetables or a salad with lots of colors. Afternoon is, I know it gets really busy, but we’ll do soup. There are some really good artichoke soups, or it could be a leek and eggplant soup, carrot ginger, and sometimes with a side of cucumbers with lemon and salt. For dinner, she’ll also do fish and veggies. It’s usually cold for lunch and warm for dinner.”

3. Zumba Sessions

Shakira says she did Zumba throughout her pregnancies, and refuses to focus on negative self-image when it comes to her body. "I don't obsess over my flaws, because I see my body as a whole," she says. "Besides, I think men appreciate confidence more than perfection."

4. Strength and Cardio

Kaiser makes sure Shakira has strength and energy before she goes on tour or has performances. "We alternate between strength and cardio intervals,” she says. “Some days we do just cardio and then strength and some days we start with strength and then do cardio, we like to mix it up. I want to make sure that she is improving her endurance so that she can go into a two-hour show and also has the strength and stamina to make it through a five-month tour. It's about making sure she gets a little bit of everything."

5. Foam Roller For Flexibility

Shakira uses a foam roller to encourage flexibility. “When you’re hypermobile, it’s easy to think your muscles are flexible, but your flexibility is really around your joints and not your muscles,” Kaiser says. “Foam rolling is really important and making sure we are rolling out her fascia, her feet, her legs, and upper body to make sure she stays nice and healthy.”

6. Soup For a Boost

Shakira enjoys a bowl of nutritious soup when she needs an energy boost. “Breakfast, lunch, & dinner with a protein in every meal and fresh veggies or small amounts of low glycemic fruit and for snacks, we started introducing soups,” Kaiser says. “Some great soups are filling and warm. So, at the four o’clock hour, when people are craving caffeine and a cookie, soup is a really great option because it fills you up and feels like a meal so it can keep you going until dinner, but it’s not hugely caloric.”

7. Using a Heart Monitor

Shakira uses a heart rate monitor to track her progress during workouts. "A heart rate monitor is very important because every day is different,” trainer Kaiser says. “Sometimes you may have a ton of energy and other days you may not, but you can hold yourself accountable for knowing how hard you're working by having a very specific goal to work toward.”

Celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins is putting actress Jurnee Smollet through her paces and sharing the results on her social media. Jenkins posted a video of herself wearing a gray workout bodysuit, guiding Smollet through weight training exercises. “Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit. ❤️Here’s some workout motivation! Training the beautiful, strong & talented @jurneesmollett for her next role! 💥💥💥,” she captioned the post. Here are five great workout and fitness tips from the woman who has trained Pink, Alicia Keys, Serena Williams, and many others.

1. Working Out First Thing

Jenkins works out first thing in the morning, and says it’s the best way to start the day. “7 a.m. is a great time for people to workout because there’s usually nothing that can conflict with it,” she told BET. “Get that workout in at 7 a.m. and you’re done! And you start your day feeling great. The stronger you are the healthier you are and the less risk you have for developing many illnesses. You need to schedule at least 30 minutes to an hour each day to workout for yourself. Write out your daily or weekly schedule and schedule those workouts in.”

2. Watch Your Calories

Jenkins highly recommends that anyone trying to get fit pay attention to their calorie intake. “Whether you’re looking to burn fat or strengthen your muscles, you must pay attention to your meal plan just as much as your workout plan,” she told Abbott Nutrition News. “In general, most people don’t understand how many calories they eat in a day or how many calories they should be eating. If you are trying to burn body fat or slim down, you need to have a calorie negative at the end of the day.”

3. Green Juice Over Coffee

Jenkins prefers a healthy green juice as an alternative energy booster to coffee. “My favorite healthy on-the-go-snack is actually a drink,” she told BET. “It’s dehydrated vegetables called Macro Greens. It’s the equivalent of five or six servings of green vegetables. All you have to do is add water and shake it up. This is a healthier way of boosting your energy instead of doing energy drinks or coffee.”

4. Calories and Fat Burn

Healthy,Meal,Prep,Containers,With,Quinoa,,Chicken,And,Cole,SlawShutterstock

Jenkins recommends meal prepping to understand exactly how much work it will take to burn off excess calories. “There are 3,500 calories in one pound of fat,” she told Abbott Nutrition News. “If you have a calorie negative of -500 a day, you can achieve a calorie negative of -3500 in a week (7 days) to help you burn off 1 pound of fat. It takes time to learn about the food you put in your body, but it’s necessary, and that knowledge you gain will remain with you for a lifetime. Also, take time to meal prep. Spending an hour at the beginning of your week planning meals will save time and calories.”

5. Church and Yoga

Jenkins focuses on her spiritual health in her down time. “I go to church, I definitely do yoga and I have to spend time with friends and family,” she told BET. “Kelly [Rowland] and I will take time off and go to a favorite vegan restaurant, put a group of girlfriends together and go for dinner.”

Eva Longoria recently added a little bounce to her workout routine with the help of a trampoline. She doesn’t just jump on her mini JumpSport trampoline, she does kicks, jumps, and knee raises, alternating leg extensions and lunges, and lower abdominal crunches and leg and hip exercises. "Saturday workouts are better with a trampoline," she recently captioned an image of her workout. "Oh my god this feels amazing," she said while jumping. "It actually feels better on my knees." Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, M.D., an obesity medicine physician and educator specializing in the care of adults, adolescents, and children, who's working with JumpSport Fitness to encourage the healthy habit of daily movement through their Maintain Your Weight campaign, explains that trampolines are low impact on joints. "Using a fitness trampoline can help for those that may have excess weight or joint issues associated with the excess weight. Also, it is quite a fun activity to engage in!"

2. Vanessa Hudgens Does HIIT Bootcamps

Vanessa Hudgens is one of the many devotees of cult workout The Dogpound, a New York City and Los Angeles based training studio that hosts hardcore, bootcamp like group fitness classes. She can often be seen doing the workouts on Instagram.

"I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa told Popsugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself." In addition to the physical benefits of a high intensity workout, group exercise can also make your life better in other ways. According to a 2017 study in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, exercising in a group environment can help decrease stress and improve quality of life.

3. Kim Kardashian Does Strength Training

Kim Kardashian is in her best shape ever, and it has nothing to do with crash diets or trendy workouts. She and trainer Melissa Alcantara focus on long, strength training sessions to maintain Kim’s famous figure. "When it comes to booty and legs, we usually work out for an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes," Alcantara told Women's Health about their twice a week lower body workouts. "You don't want to go too hard or overwork that muscle, otherwise it doesn't have time to recover and grow.” Kim recently added treadmill sprints to her routine. "Been sprinting every day!" she wrote on an Instagram Story. "I've been seeing changes!"

4. Kate Hudson Does “Everything”

"I do everything. I have to switch it up, I get so bored," Kate Hudson told InStyle about her workout strategy. "I've been loving the Obé app, they have 20-minute workouts that are really hard and if you do them with the proper form they're really effective. I love my yoga apps, like Glo, and I use Body by Simone and Tracy Anderson's apps too — there's nothing better than her abs workout. I love my Peloton. I love Pilates — that's always been my number one." There are multiple reasons to switch up your workouts. Not only does it prevent boredom and overuse injuries but is a great way to ensure you are working all your muscles.

1. She Works Out At Home

Berry shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview withInStyle. She says that she likes to workout at home, and uses virtual fitness programs to help her. “During quarantine, I've been focusing a lot on self-care and started working out at home,” she says. “Which is why the partnership with FitOn and rē*spin is so fitting. One of my favorite workouts on the app is the rē*spin Plyo Agility.”

2. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Berry revealed some of her favorite workouts to InStyle. “It always varies! Over the past few years, I went from training for John Wick 3 to my upcoming film and directorial debut BRUISED. Some days I'd work on strength and cardio and others I'd do yoga and stretching, all while I did a few hours of martial arts training each day.”

3. She Makes Sure To Recover

In addition to working out, Berry also prioritizes her recovery. She tells InStyle that she likes to take cold showers as a form of recovery. “For me, it's been important not to overstress my body. Taking cold hot showers has been a good recovery ritual.” UCLA Health states, “Going from a hot to cold shower — even for a couple of minutes — might protect you from circulating viruses. The shock of cold water can stimulate the blood cells that fight off infection (leukocytes). One study in the Netherlands found that people who switched to cold showers for 30, 60, or 90 seconds for 90 days called out sick from work 29% less than people who didn’t switch to cold showers.”

4. She Intermittent Fasts

Berry tells InStyle that she likes to intermittent fast each day. “I can't skip my Bulletproof coffee each morning,” she revealed. “It allows me to fast until 2 or 3 pm.” John Hopkins Medicine states that intermittent fasting has a lot of benefits. “Studies discovered that intermittent fasting boosts working memory in animals and verbal memory in adult humans. Intermittent fasting improved blood pressure and resting heart rates as well as other heart-related measurements.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Mental Health

Berry tells InStyle that she is prioritizing her mental health. “I've also found that taking care of my mental health has been crucial during these odd times. I just launched my Journal on Joy at rē·spin which is part of my bedtime routine. It is a space to record memories that make you smile and helps me focus on positivity and gratitude. Also reading self-help books on ways to stay grounded and centered during this time has been widely helpful and inspirational.”

6. She Values Her Wellness

For Berry, living a healthy lifestyle is important to her. “I was a gymnast growing up and was physically active at a young age,” she tells InStyle. “At 22, I was diagnosed with diabetes and it became critical for me to manage my nutrition and diet. It really transformed my life and taught me how valuable my body is.”

7. She Does Planks

Berry opened up about some of her favorite exercises with Women’s Health. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks. I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition. Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand. Dressed in a sleek black workout set, she didn’t just make the workout look effortless—she made it look empowering. Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “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. 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.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
