Big Bang Theory Star Tania Raymonde Shares Swimsuit Photo of “Happiness”

1. Diving Training

Raymonde went through intense training for her role in Deep Blue Sea 3. “I got PADI certified before we flew out, then trained with the Frog Squad in Cape Town,” she says. “We rehearsed a lot of the diving sequences before we shot, especially the underwater fight scenes, some of which were pretty tricky (clearing a full face mask underwater isn’t easy). It was winter in South Africa, so the water was freezing. Some puppets were used, but mostly the ‘sharks’ on set were tennis balls on sticks.”

Raymonde gained a real appreciation for sharks while staying in Cape Town. I made a bet with director John Pogue that we’d go cage diving in Cape Town before we started shooting (he agreed) but there was so much training involved before cameras rolled and I think there was a small concern I may get eaten before we started,” she says. “Climate change is killing sharks at a more accelerated rate than any other time in history. Their home like ours is under attack. This is a big deal!”

3. Los Angeles Native

Raymonde loves shopping and eating in her home town of Los Angeles. “I grew up in West LA,” she says. “I remember the old Santa Monica Place with nostalgia (they had an indoor waterfall in the food court) so I typically go to the mall and complain about how much nicer it used to be. Jonathan Adler has nice expensive things for the house, though! La Petite Porte is very romantic. I’m Corsican and I heard it’s owned by Corsicans although this may or may not be true. You can order a cheese plate at the bar and pretend you have a reservation.”

4. Improvisation Scenes

Raymonde says playing convicted killer Jodi Arias was a challenge, as they had to film while the actual trial was happening. “I kind of liked it. I do remember that we did some improvisation,” she says. “The trial parts were the parts that we had so much of almost exact footage to base it on. There was so much coverage and close ups of her on the stand, and some of the dialogue was word for word what she said when she was on the stand with the prosecutor. That wasn’t too tough. That was crazy, though. She’d be on TV every night and the next day, I’m sitting in the same courthouse wearing the same outfit saying the same line she said yesterday on live TV. It was a trip.”

5. Life In Corsica

Raymonde loves the lifestyle when she visits family in Corsica. “No day is complete without a stop at a café for a drink before dinner,” she says, showing a picture of a cocktail. “This one’s my favorite, it’s water flavored with Licorice and Mint, and it’s the prettiest color. My Mom’s miniature Schnauzer approves (though he might be color blind.) And finally, dinner — which starts late and ends very late. Some delicious cheeses to end the meal with fresh green tomato jelly, scraps for the family pup, and a beautiful view of the Place at night.”

Alessandra Torresani is heating up Florida – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Big Bang Theory star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while poolside in the Sunshine State. “When life gives you lemons, go to Miami and eat some,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at Soho Beach House. “Bringing sexy back,” commented one of her followers. “Beautiful,” added another. How does the 36-year-old maintain her amazing body? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.

1. She Takes Care of Her Mental Health

Alessandra, who played Claire on The Big Bang Theory, opened up about being diagnosed with bipolar 1 to 1 And 1. "I finally felt relieved when I was diagnosed, because I finally understood what was happening instead of feeling like something was constantly wrong with me," Torresani said. "After being diagnosed, I felt better because I knew more about how to get help and find the proper medication to help me. Not pinpointing it was very frustrating and hard because people just labeled me as crazy, but I knew there had to be a reason why I felt the way I did, and I could now identify it."

2. She Walks

Alessandra goes on a lot of walks. Sometimes she takes her baby in her stroller to get her steps in. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

3. She Rides Horses

Alessandra is all about riding horses. “I was beyond honored to host @namicommunicate Self Care University at @specialspiritinc equine therapy center! As a NAMI Ambassador, I have the opportunity to experience such unique, healing moments in the Mental Health space,” she captioned a recent post. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

4. She Hikes

Alessandra also enjoys hiking. 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 certain respiratory problems

5. She Swims

When she is near water, you can find Alessandra burning calories in the pool. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Diamond the Gladiator, real name Livi Sheldon, enjoyed a staycation in England’s beautiful and dramatic Peak District. The Gladiators star shared a picture of herself posing in a black bikini, perched on the side of a hot tub against a background of cloudy skies and lush green fields. “Hot Tub in a ⛈️ is a mood 👌🏼 Lovely little staycation in the Peak District. Rest and recovery needed 🫶🏼,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Sheldon achieves a happy, healthy, and balanced lifestyle.

1. Personal Trainer

Sheldon is a personal trainer, using her years of experience to help people transform their bodies. “My whole life I was always the sporty one, but one day I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the person looking back at me,” she says. ‘Seeing how unhappy I was and not knowing how to change that, my partner suggested I hire a personal trainer. This was just the start of my transformation. Learning how to train and with heavy weights, my body shape completely changed, I am now happier, stronger and more in control of my mind and body than I ever have been before… Training has done more for me than just change my physical appearance, it has helped me become mentally stronger. Training helps create routine, not just in your sessions but everyday life, you learn to plan and set goals, and then reach those goals.”

2. Happy and Healthy Lifestyle

Sheldon practices reverse dieting, which in the bodybuilding community is a way to prevent weight gain after caloric restriction (for example for a competition). “Reverse dieting was extremely important to me as I had a goal of where I wanted to be physically for my lifestyle,” she says. “Creating a happy lifestyle, Which I have now successfully achieved. I enjoy social events, a weekly ‘free’ meal and most of all I enjoy LIFE! I have no strict restrictions. I stay active with my training and NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) goals and my personally set macros and calories (which do change depending on my goals). Currently I am in a maintenance phase of my lifestyle where I am maintaining my current physical shape and living a happy and healthy lifestyle.”

3. Tall Girl Power

Sheldon was given a hard time at school for her height, which she now embraces. "When I was growing up I used to get picked on for being taller than everyone else,” she says. “Now I get to show everyone that being unique is your superpower. I can't wait to get into the arena and take on the contenders as Diamond. A dream come true! Becoming a Gladiator! If there was an opportunity I could wish for this would be it! This truly is the biggest thing that has ever happened to me and I can’t wait to get in the arena! I’ve been training for duels since I was nine years old!"

4. Bodybuilding Star

Sheldon is a bodybuilding champion, which requires strict training. “Before 2019 I had never competed in a bodybuilding competition,” she says. “It was always a goal of mine but I didn’t know where to start, it was a completely new aspect to the fitness industry that I had yet to explore. A good friend and a competition coach gave me the push I needed to start my first competition prep. I went from never competing, to my first year competing in four shows, one of which I placed second (NABBA England Toned Figure) and another at the PCA British Finals coming home with a trophy placing 5th in Britain (Category: Toned Figure Tall).”

5. Learning To Love Herself

Sheldon used to struggle with food issues and deprivation when she was learning to train. "The training was never the problem for me, I could train all day long, push myself, and never miss a session,” she says. "It was the diet, I struggled sooo many years with emotional eating - which I didn’t realize at the time but I do now—I would jump to a chocolate bar, or a pizza for comfort. It’s taken many years for me to see food as fuel and not as ‘food’ but once that clicked I understood. And that didn’t come from dieting, it’s taken the years of being in a maintenance phase to understand that. Because I haven’t deprived myself of anything, seen how my body has reacted to the consistent training, food and love that I’ve given it, and now I have a much better understanding. I am mentally stronger because of this too and I know I am in control."
