Simone Ashley is heating up Anguilla– in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Bridgerton stunner shows off her amazing body in a pink bathing suit while vacationing in the islands. Her followers went wild over the series of Instagram snaps. “A REAL GODDESS,” commented one of them. “Crazy body envyyy,” added another. How does the actress approach health and fitness? Celebwell rounded up some of her top lifestyle habits.
1. Walking
In one of Ashley’s photos from Anguilla, she takes a walk on the beach. 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.
2. Hiking
Ashley is “a big nature person,” she told Conde Nast Traveller. “I love hikes, going to the beach, eating really good food. 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 said.
3. Kickboxing

Ashley likes a fighting form of fitness. During her time off of filming she focuses on "hanging with her dog, watching old episodes of Friends, going on hikes. She learned kickboxing, ate healthily, “and even managed to get some reading done." 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. Riding Horses

Ashley is an equestrian in real life. “I’m quite natural and I’m quite sporty anyway,” she told Glamour UK. “At the start, I was in the saddle every other day, pretty much for one to one and a half hours a day. I loved it.” 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.
5. Healthy Diet
Simone has a healthy approach to diet. She loves green juice and other healthy staples, like salmon, revealing to Glamour UK that she fuels up on the omega-3 rich fish before shoots.
