2. She Exfoliates

Bartlett shared some of her skincare secrets in another interview with Country and Townhouse. She says that she makes sure to keep her skin exfoliated. “I like a simple yet effective skin care routine and skin care products. At the moment I’m using Temple Spa IN THE BEGINNING – which is a gentle exfoliating cleansing balm that gets all my make off after filming and leaves my skin super soft.”

3. She Practices Yoga

Bartlett is a big fan of practicing yoga. She tells Country and Townhouse that she likes to take virtual classes. “I discovered the most amazing yoga teacher, Emily Hughes, during the first lockdown, who has completely transformed my strength and tone.

4. She Swims

Bartlett tells Country and Townhouse that she likes to go swimming to stay in shape. “I am a big fan of wild swimming,” she says. “Whatever the weather or time of year I just love the experience of plunging into the water. It’s the best remedy for any mood.”

Bartlett shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Country and Townhouse. She says that she loves to spend time outside. “I try to be outside as much as I can – fresh air and switching off my phone are key.

Jennifer Connelly is enjoying an action-packed vacation in Norway with her daughter. Connelly, 53, shared highlights from the trip, including one of her wearing hiking gear, posing for a selfie against a beautiful mountainous background. “Road trip in Norway with my girl. And some llamas 🇳🇴♥️,” she captioned the post. Another picture shows some of the random wildlife sharing the hill with Connelly. The actress is happiest when she’s outdoors in the fresh air—here’s what else makes her happy, fit, and full of energy.


1. Outdoorsy Woman

Connelly is happiest when she’s being active outside. “When I’m not working, we’re with our kids, we’re walking to school, going to soccer matches, spending time in the country,” she told The Guardian. “I’ve always loved being in nature, and in the mountains in particular, and crave it more and more as I get older. If I don’t go outside, I get a little stir crazy. My kids and my husband joke that my favorite go-to line is, ‘Let’s go outside and move around a little.’”

2. Running and Yoga

Connelly runs, does yoga, and follows a vegan diet to stay fit and healthy. “My thought is that even if you only have a few minutes to get a run (or your workout) in, it helps to get your energy going and the blood flowing,” she told New Beauty.

3. Love For David Bowie

Viersen,,Germany,-,May,1.,2020:,Close,Up,Of,VintageShuttertsock

Connelly has nothing but fond memories of working with David Bowie on Labyrinth (1986). “Another film with a magic set. David Bowie was adorable and generous,” she told L'OFFICIEL USA. “He had a great sense of humor and made everyone feel at ease in his presence, and I admired him for that.”

4. Beautiful Brows

Connelly rarely allows anyone to touch her beautiful brows. “I don’t get my brows professionally done,” she told New Beauty. “I kind of just wrangle out the stray ones myself without doing too much. The only time that I ever had them trimmed was when I was filming a Beautiful Mind.”

5. Gratitude and Positivity

Connelly is grateful for the experiences, both good and bad, which have brought her where she is. “This might sound trite but the truth is I feel so blessed with where I am,” she told The Guardian. “And even the more uncomfortable chapters that might have been nice to have sidestepped or skipped over, are valuable in some way, and give me perspective to appreciate where I am now, and how things have turned out.”

Simone Ashley is heating up social media in her two-piece outfit. In a new social media post the Bridgerton and Little Mermaid star shows off her amazing body in a sleek black outfit, throwing her followers into a frenzy. “Flawless,” commented one. “You’re so gorgeous 😍😍😍😍” added another. How does the actress stay fit? Here is everything you need to know about her diet, workout, and approach to mental health.


1. She Is a “Hardecore Reformer Pilates Girl”

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,9:,Simone,Ashley,At,The,VersaceShutterstock

“I am a hardcore reformer Pilates girl. I love it,” Simone told Vogue. “I go to Heartcore in London and it’s changed my life. It’s a really thoughtful way to connect your mind and body, and use muscles that you’ve never really felt connected to before. I love to dance and a lot of the moves are very similar to a lot of ballet techniques, and it’s really good for your core.”

2. She Hikes

A “big nature person,” “hikes, going to the beach, eating really good food,” are some of Simone’s favorite things. “For me, a perfect vacation would be exhausting myself playing in the sand, swimming, hiking, exploring, and then treating myself to an absolutely massive meal and some really nice wine with friends and good music. I'm trying to be a bit more cultured and push myself to do more city-searching and going to exhibitions and all of that. But at heart, I'm a big explorer,” she told Conde Nast Traveller.

3. She Kickboxes

When Ashley isn’t working you can find her "hanging with her dog, watching old episodes of Friends, going on hikes.” She also recently learned kickboxing. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

4. She Takes Steam Baths

London,,United,Kingdom,-,December,04,,2023:,Simone,Ashley,AttendsShutterstock

When it’s “so cold in the morning” Sione wakes up and takes a steam bath. “I fill a bowl with steamy water, sometimes put a drop of vapor rub, eucalyptus, or lavender in, and then put a towel over my head and steam for five to 10 minutes. It’s a nice way to start my day, and then my pores are open and I’m decongested. In the summer, I usually try and do an ice bath, which is really great,” she told Vogue.

5. She Goes to Therapy and Meditation

“If you have the means to be able to go to spoken therapy, that’s a form of wellness that I would highly recommend to anyone, especially young people,” Simone told Vogue. “Actually, scratch that, to anyone! It helps you to understand yourself more and gives you the tools to be able to relate and communicate with others, and it’s something that can really create a lot of space within yourself. I’ve also got a little dog, so going for walks is a form of wellness for me as well–I just leave my phone at home and go. I’m yet to have a more disciplined routine with meditation… maybe I’ll have that as a new year’s resolution next year.”

Florence Pugh, the acclaimed actress known for her dynamic roles, shares behind-the-scenes glimpses from her upcoming film with Andrew Garfield, "We Live In Time." On Instagram, Pugh highlights moments from the set, giving fans a sneak peek into the making of the movie. Known for her candid approach to Hollywood's stringent beauty standards, Pugh has openly criticized the industry's obsession with dieting and body image, emphasizing a healthier, self-accepting lifestyle. Whether preparing for a physically demanding role or choosing her fashion statements, Pugh embraces her authenticity, advocating for body positivity and personal freedom in both her professional and personal life.


1. She Doesn’t Diet For Roles

Pugh doesn’t believe in dieting for her movie roles. She talked about this in an interview with Vogue. “From the moment you start growing thighs and bums and boobs and all of it, everything starts changing, and your relationship with food starts changing. It was expected that you would be on whatever diet that you needed to be on, and for me, that was just shocking because I'd never done that before. I think I definitely put my foot down in that aspect. I love food."

2. She Calls Out Society’s Standards

In an Instagram post, Pugh called out the body standards society has for women. "What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers. Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me."

3. She Worked With A Trainer

To film Fighting With My Family, Pugh told Culture Trip that she worked with a trainer to get in shape. “As soon as we got the roles, [director] Stephen [Merchant] mentioned he wanted us to do as much wrestling as we could. We would have stunt doubles, but he wanted to get us in the ring so we needed to get really strong. We were assigned CrossFit trainers, and it was a month of intense squatting and eating as many protein bars as possible. And wrestling 24/7. My trainer had a gym in Oxfordshire, which is where I was based at the time. I still train with my guy because I actually got ready with him for The Little Drummer Girl. It’s brought a lot of skills to the surface.”

4. She Wears What She Wants

Pugh doesn’t want to let people tell her what to do. And that extends to her clothing choices. "If I'm happy in it, then I'm gonna wear it," Pugh told Vogue. "Of course, I don't want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much? Yes, I can put makeup on and look good for a premiere. But at the end of the day, I still have hair on the top of my lip and I still smell after a workout and I still get spots when I’m stressed."

5. She Skis

According to this Instagram post, Pugh loves to ski to stay in shape. Skiing is a great workout. The University of Rochester states, “Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts. Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. They are also weight-bearing exercises. So they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles.”

Ruby Barker is rocking climbing and showing off her fit figure. In a few new social media posts, the Bridgerton star reveals that she recently broke her arm after engaging in one of her favorite workouts: Rock climbing. “My left arm looks jacked 💪🏽 @lastsundance still climbing; still here; still humbled; and still loving life.” How does the actress, 27, approach health and wellness and how has she transformed her mental and physical health over the last year? Here is everything you need to know about her health journey.


1. She Took Baby Steps

In September 2023, Ruby shared a before-and-after photo of her “beautiful bodies” and opened up about her journey. “It’s not been an overnight thing, it took months for me to completely surrender to my lifestyle adaptations with the aim to better my physical, spiritual and emotional health; small changes quickly became big wins,” she explained. “I would have panic attacks at the thought of stepping foot in a gym, I would pretend I wasn’t out of breathe after climbing stairs and run to the bathroom to catch it back, I would starve myself all day, then binge, binge, binge, feel like crap then do it all over again.”

2. She Did “Inner Work”

“In the first picture, I was not happy. I felt like I’d lost not only my mind, but my will to take care of my inner child and cook for her, clean for her, work for her, get out and live for her,” Ruby continued in the post, adding that “weight loss and toning up” was “a byproduct of inner work.. Cooking, moving, sleeping, accepting where I am and still getting back up.”

3. Walking

"Getting outdoors, going for walks,” has also been instrumental in her journey, she revealed in a social media post. 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.

4. Strength Training

Ruby trains with Muyi, a personal trainer and Online Coach, who promotes strength training mixed with cardio. She also joined his O.Fit Run Club, a running club. “With the guidance of @o.fit.uk @muyi.o.fit and my friends, I’m in love with being more active and self caring than ever before. Health is wealth,” she wrote in her September 2023 post. 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

5. Mental Health

Ruby is very open about her mental health struggles. She recently revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

6. Subhead Goes Right Here

According to the NHS, rock climbing boasts mental and physical health benefits. It can improve stamina while working multiple muscle groups at once. “Climbing involves concentration and thought, as well as physical exercise, which helps to keep you focused, clear your mind of outside worries, and build your confidence and self-esteem,” they add. “This may help to alleviate the symptoms of some mental health problems.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

Kat McNamara is a successful actress. She is known for her role in fantasy and superhero projects like Shadowhunters, Girl vs. Monster, and Arrow. McNamara just shared her fitness challenge for the year on Instagram. In a recent video, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. McNamara received a lot of praise in the comments. She captioned the post, “Switching it up!💥New year, new workout adventure! Thanks @laurajquinn for once again putting me through my paces! 🤣 We’ve come a long way from ballet to @alo! 🩰”

She Does Pilates

McNamara is seen doing Pilates in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The benefits of Pilates are both therapeutic and preventive. The practice may help you recover from an existing injury or manage a chronic musculoskeletal issue. It may also help you establish a healthy baseline, so that when those injuries or issues arise, you’re able to bounce back faster.”

She Boxes

McNamara shared some of the things she did to stay in shape for Shadowhunters in an interview with Women’s Health. One thing she did was box. “It builds the shape of muscles I needed to look like a fighter, and it's just plain fun," she says.” Boxing has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Regular physical activity, including boxing, can lower your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease.”

She Does Leg Workouts

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
