Made In Chelsea star Binky Felstead is sharing some inspirational wellness advice for her fans and followers. Felstead, 33, posted a video of herself wearing black leggings and a gray shirt, doing an outdoor mat workout. “In a world that constantly tells us to change, let’s embrace the power of acceptance. Your body is your sanctuary, and every inch tells a unique story. Let’s be kind to ourselves, love the journey, and celebrate the incredible vessel that is our own body 💪🏼,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the busy mom of three stays fit, focused, and happy.

1. Smashing Her Workouts


Felstead loves the way regular exercise makes her feel (hello endorphins!). “Exercise gives me such a positive feeling!” she told Hip and Healthy. “Even when it’s cold and I want to stay in bed and skip a workout, that feeling I get after I’ve smashed a great workout gets me up every time… [My top health tips are] eat little and often, breakfast is key! Never skip it! [Eat] a varied healthy diet – you don’t want to get bored!”

2. HIIT and Horses

Felstead swears by high intensity workouts like HIIT. “I’ve always been active from a young age as I used to do a lot of horse riding, but it’s only the past couple of years that I’ve really committed to fitness,” she told Hip and Healthy. “I train three to four times a week and it’s my go-to escape – it’s important to me that my mind and body are the best they can be and fitness does that. I like to feel like I’ve exercised my whole body so I love a HIIT workout. Some days I do like to focus more on specific areas so I do exercises targeted to helping achieve a peachier bum!”

3. Fasted Training

Felstead always trains on an empty stomach. “Finding your motivation is the key to fitness,” she told Women’s Health. “After a weekend of indulgence, the last thing I want to do is head to the gym on Monday morning. Getting there is the hard bit. I stick my headphones in, crank up the house music and it’s over before I know it. I train three times a week for an hour in the morning. I tend to not eat before I go to the gym in the morning because high-intensity training sometimes makes me feel sick. Also fasted training encourages my body to burn its own fat, rather than the food I’ve just eaten as energy.”

4. Weekend Fun

Felstead is sensible during the week and indulges in her favorite spicy curries on the weekend. “I think it’s good to have a day where you can go all out, every so often,” she told Get the Gloss. “I think it’s important to live a little and have a cheat day, go out to your favorite restaurant and enjoy it; I like the Big Easy on the King’s Road and Cote in Parsons Green.”

5. No Carbs After 5

Felstead enjoys a protein-packed diet with lots of healthy fats. “My normal breakfast is smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and avocado on rye bread,” she told Get the Gloss. “I usually make breakfast for myself after walking my dog. I’ve been doing this delivery service called Fresh Fitness Food. It’s my first time doing it but I’ve really been enjoying it. It’s nice not to think about what to eat as it’s already prepared for you. I try to avoid carbs after 5pm, but I love spicy food, like tom yum soup or king prawn soup for dinner. When I go on a night out I drink vodka, lime and soda.”

Binky Felstead is living her best life in Greece – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Made in Chelsea beauty shows off her incredible figure in a bathing suit while staying at the Peligoni Club. “50 shades of blue 🩵What an incredible Villa,” she captioned the Instagram post. “U look absolutely amazing,” commented one of her followers. “Wow your look sensational Binky - I need your workout routine please,” another chimed in. How does the reality star stay fit? Celebwell rounded up her top health tips.


1. Exercise in the Morning

Binky recommends morning workouts. “I get up at 7am and I make India’s breakfast and then take her to nursery. After that, I squeeze in an hour or 40-minute workout in my gym or with my personal trainer, Tyrone,” she explained to Health & Wellbeing. “It starts the day for me perfectly. It gives me those happy endorphins and means I’ve got more energy; I feel more positive.”

2. Do HIIT Workouts

Binky enjoys strength and weight training HIIT sessions. “I do high intensity bodyweight workouts nearly every day with Tyrone,” she tells Health & Wellbeing. “We mix it up with strength and high intensity because I like getting a sweat on. Tyrone does yoga and Pilates too, but I’m more of a ‘go for it’ girl.”

3. Eat Protein and Veggies

Binky’s meal consists of protein and veggies. “I don’t really have breakfast, instead I have an early lunch. Usually that’s salmon or meat with loads of veggies,” she tells Health & Wellbeing. “I eat chicken and fish and try not to have too much red meat. For dinner, I usually have a salad-based protein meal,” she said, adding that she loves spice and eats “quite big portions.”

4. Take a Walk

Walking is “massively” important, according to Binky, who goes on “a long three-hour walk” on the weekends, she tells Health & Wellbeing. “It’s so good for your health and your mental wellbeing. Getting out there; getting some fresh air – I love it!”

5. Soak in Hot Water

Binky soaks away her aches and pains. “Good morning,” she captioned an early AM soak in the tub. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

6. Do Pilates

Binky also does pilates. “It’s all about the last minute WEDMIN atm!! All very exciting ( and a little stressful ) so I’ve decided to hang out here for a bit this morning!” she captioned an Instagram photo of herself on a reformer. “The nicest stretch EVER!”

My child is my priority and I've got to work, I've got a lot of balls in the air I'm juggling and that is just something to keep all those balls in the air,” she tells Women’s Health.

Fitness Influencer Amanda Bisk Shares "Fitness Challenge"

Amanda Bisk is offering a new fitness challenge – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her incredibly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while demonstrating some moves. “15min workouts, Pilates & yoga everyday,” she wrote in the caption of the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Stretching

Amanda understands the importance of stretching. “I usually start my day with a stretch or yoga and a few bodyweight exercise's (situps, squats etc), usually between 15-30min depending on how much time I have,” says Amanda. “Flexibility is all about consistency. I stretch everyday. I stretch in the morning for 15-30min (sometimes also in the evening) and before and after I exercise. If you are looking to improve your flexibility, the more you stretch the quicker you will see improvements,” she continues. “I use a combination of stretches I have learnt from gymnastics and athletics and combine this with yoga. In the morning I do a few sun salutations (a sequence in yoga) to warm up my body, then I stretch my legs and hips and do splits, then finish off with shoulders and backbends.” Why should you consider stretching? “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Running

Amanda is also a runner. “I do an intense workout like a strength session or sprints 3-4 times a week,” she reveals on the blog. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Balanced Diet

As for diet, she focuses on keeping it balanced. “I have experimented with a few different ways of eating but what works best for me is a varied and balanced approach to food,” Amanda says about her approach to diet. “This includes LOTS of fruit and vegetables, fish, eggs, grains (including breads and pasta), legumes, nuts, dairy and meat. I also believe it is totally ok to enjoy those 'not so healthy' foods (my vice is icecream!). Those hearty meals or cheeky treats are good for the soul! But remember it is about moderation,” she says. “My meals usually consist of majority vegetables (full of vitamins and minerals), a portion of carbs (to fuel my muscles and brain) and protein (to build a strong body and keep me full). I choose mostly vegetarian options (a big influence from my mum, who is fully vegetarian) but I do eat meat when I feel like it.”

Tennis, Biking, basketball, Etc

Amanda maintains an active lifestyle. If she isn’t at the gym she will be doing “something different like tennis, bike riding, basketball, walking with a friend or going to a local pilates or air yoga class,” she writes on the blog.

Daily Exercise

Amanda works out daily. “I am a big fan of mixing up the type of exercise and fitness I do, so from week to week my exercise routine changes alot,” she revealed on her blog. “All up, I aim to move my body for an hour each day.” She takes a rest day, “where I might only stretch and do a walk. If I feel run down or overtrained I make sure I take a day off. Its all about listening to your body.” How often should you workout? Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. According to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity each week.

British singer Ellie Goulding entered 2024 fighting fit and ready for action. Goulding, 37, shared a video of herself sparring with trainer Ruth Raper, dressed in black Adidas shorts and a black tank top for her boxing workout. “No cap. Thank you @ruth_london_90 🤙🏼🙃,” she captioned the post. “Well done girl,” Raper commented. Goulding’s relationship with wellness has changed over the years—here’s how she stays fit, happy, and full of energy.


1. Exercise and Smoothies

Goulding starts her day with a good workout before making a green smoothie. “My morning routine will be some kind of workout, whether it’s Barry’s [Bootcamp], yoga, or even a run outside,” she told The Cut. “I go between New York and London so there’s always interesting runs to do. At the moment I’m loving running to Goldie’s I Adore You. I’m such a big fan of old-school U.K. drum and bass. I usually use the Apple/Nike watch to track my runs. I’ll shove a bunch of things in a NutriBullet — kale, cucumber, water. I try and have a smoothie every day, it’s really filling with protein powder. I love using Vega, because it is vegan and tastes fantastic, and maca powder. Spirulina doesn’t taste great but can easily be masked by a banana and some almond butter.”

2. Aspiring Vegan

Goulding calls herself an “aspiring vegan”. “It’s challenging, but not impossible,” she told Shape. “You just have to eat or drink a lot of greens. I make green juice for myself almost every day. I put in things like bananas, avocado, spinach, broccoli, whatever's in my fridge, really. Sweet-potato fries and salad are my absolute favorites. They make the perfect meal. I eat a lot of quinoa and nuts, too, but I also love eating chips. It’s actually easy to be a bad vegan because a lot of junk foods are vegan!”

3. Yoga and Treadmill Workouts

Goulding loves both low-intensity and high-energy workouts. “There is a brilliant online yoga school called YogaGlo. For a monthly subscription you can take any class and you can choose the difficulty level and the duration. It’s perfect for someone always on the move,” she told The Cut. “Barry’s is so good. Especially if you start on the treadmill you have no choice but to get right into it. Your heart rate is up within a couple of minutes. Once your heart rate is up, it’s natural to be in the zone. I think if your heart rate is up, it’s connected to your brain in an animalistic sense — your brain is telling you that you’re ready to fight, you’re ready to go.”

4. Fitness Tips

Goulding knows when her body needs more rest and recovery. “[I] slowed down to the extent that I sometimes ‘did nothing’, which also included reading a book (which is of course ‘doing something’, but you get my point!),” she wrote in her book Fitter. Calmer. Stronger. “If I was feeling stressed, I would swap a run for a gentle yoga session. If I felt overwhelmed, I would go for a gentle jog in a park, focusing on breathing and keeping my pace slow. Only when I felt well rested, had eaten properly and felt like I had the necessary reserves of energy would I allow myself to go all out with a fast run or HIIT session.”

5. Loving Fitness Again

Goulding went from overexercising to developing a more kind and nurturing relationship with fitness. “It was obvious from looking around that it was possible to have a healthy relationship with diet and fitness, and in fact these things could underpin a happy and productive life,” she wrote in her book Fitter. Calmer. Stronger. “As I began to slow down, even occasionally doing nothing (a state which I now cherish), I became determined that I would find a way of balancing all of this so that healthy living was truly healthy and where my physical and mental health could support my life without completely defining it.”

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of 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.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Does Pilates, Spinning, Elliptical, and Running Workouts

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
