Camila Mendes Shows Off Slim Figure as Madelyn Cline Calls Her "Hot"

Camila Mendes is going wild in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Riverdale star shows off her slender figure in an animal print bathing suit. “Cami in her Leopard print era ✨,” commented one of her followers. “Hot,” added Outer Banks star Madelyne Cline. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Consistent with Exercise

Camila makes exercise a priority. "I strive to be super consistent — as consistent as I can be. Whenever I have a day off, I will make a point to work out in the morning,” she told Shape. “I definitely move my body every day,” she added to Health.

2. Strength Training

“I go through phases when it comes to what I like to do—I've taken lots of different classes and all that,” Camila told Health. When working out with her trainer, she "does a lot of circuit training, she added to Shape. 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

3. Meditation

When things get "overwhelming" at work, Camila meditates. "I'll text production and say, 'Hey I'm going to meditate in my trailer for ten minutes. Please don't knock unless it's urgent.' And then I turn off all the lights, sit on the floor, take out my phone, and meditate using the Balance app,” she told Shape. “For me, it's taking care of myself in the most immediate way,” she added to Health. “What do I need—and what does my body need right now? Sometimes I'll randomly sit down and check in and be like: ‘What does my body want? Do I need water, sleep, or to move around and stretch? Should I journal?’ I think being well is about checking in with your physical and mental health and evaluating what you really need at that moment.” “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

• Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
• Building skills to manage your stress
• Increasing self-awareness
• Focusing on the present
• Reducing negative emotions
• Increasing imagination and creativity
• Increasing patience and tolerance
• Lowering resting heart rate
• Lowering resting blood pressure
• Improving sleep quality

4. No Dieting

“My relationship with food was very weird for a while—I had an eating disorder,” she told Health. “I got through it by seeing [my] therapist and working with a nutritionist who was very adamant about me overcoming my fear of carbs. I used to not eat carbs—but that would just lead me to binge on them after avoiding them for a while. I tried all the diets—I was always on a diet. But I eventually learned they weren't helping me at all.”

5. Nourishing Her Body with Food

“As soon as I started listening to my body and eating what my body needed—which sometimes is eating the things I used to think were bad, like sugar and bread—I noticed a big change,” Camila dished to Health. “The crazy lesson was that your body tells you what it wants and needs; you just have to learn how to listen to it. It takes a while to learn that—it's hard. And what one woman needs isn't going to be the same as what another woman needs. We're all different.”
