To prepare for bikini season, celebrities have to do the same thing as you or me—eat right, workout and stick to their goals. They just have more resources with which to do that. That's why Celebwell collated the top wellness advice from Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Brooke Burke, Carrie Underwood, rapper and newly minted Sports Illustrated cover model Megan Thee Stallion, Nicole Scherzinger and many others here in one easy-to-use resource. Read on for the best get-fit tips out there—and the photos that prove they really work.


1. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez admits that she’s not a fan of fitness, and that she prefers to work out at home with a trainer, rather than at the gym. “I don’t love working out, but I find myself going on YouTube and doing workout videos,” she revealed in a Marie Claire interview recently. “Anything from old-school workout videos to more current ones.” Gomez posted a TikTok showing off some of her at-home exercises, like squats and presses, and the equipment she uses, like Bala Bangles ankle and hand weights.

2. Lady Gaga

Pop star Lady Gaga told Good Morning America that she “works out a lot.” "I do the VersaClimber and sing while I do it,” she says. Gaga said this helps her with live performances, particularly her 2017 SuperBowl Halftime Show. Gaga’s personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, told Shape magazine that the singer also regularly does bicycle crunches and Russian Twists to workout her core, as well as a weekly 25 minute cardio circuit.

3. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez’s fitness routine has been coveted by many. But even she admitted that she struggled to stay active and healthy while quarantining. “I’ve never struggled more with my health and nutrition,” she tells Yahoo Life, “and I'm a pretty motivated person. But throughout quarantine, I was just, you know, I just felt like some days I was motivated to eat well and work out. Others, I just didn't want to, I just didn't see what the point was.” Lopez says simple activities with her kids helped her get moving. “The one thing that I tried to keep constant in our home was to dance and to play outside. Just turning on music and having a dance party,” Lopez says. “Sometimes for, like, 15 minutes with the kids is all you need,” she encourages.

4. Nicole Scherzinger

Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger’s diet and exercise plan is all about variety. She tells Women’s Health magazine that her typical workouts are “running on the treadmill for 20 mins, then try to do some squats, some sit-ups on the exercise ball, some yoga stretches.” Scherzinger also says that her location affects her workouts. “When I’m home I like to take a spinning class, or I like to do hot yoga, or hiking, and core power yoga.” When Scherzinger is in the UK, she trains with Viking Method trainer Svava Sigbertsdotir. As for Scherzinger’s diet, "For breakfast I love eggs and toast and smoked salmon or bacon, or porridge. For lunch I like maybe some soup or some sushi. For dinner, anything from pasta to rice, and meats and veggies, to sushi.”

5. Megan Thee Stallion

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has recently launched her own workout and lifestyle series on her YouTube channel, called “Hottie Bootcamp.” The episodes contain her doing a variety of workouts, from pole dancing, to HIIT weight training, to anaerobics. “That is about me simply getting more healthy typically and me seeing how I can rework my physique within the healthiest manner potential,” she shared on Instagram. The second episode of the series involved her cleaning out her kitchen. “I prefer to snack, and I prefer to eat no matter I wish to eat. And I simply really feel like recently, the issues that I’ve been consuming have been not so good for my physique,” she defined in a video clip. “Throwing out thee junk meals ? Right this moment I cleaned out the fridge to the very best of my skills ? ps. Untouched meals was not proven and I’ll donate it I simply needed to present y’all my dedication to eliminating the junk.

6. Aly Michalka

Singer and actress Aly Michalka credits Pilates for her figure. In an interview with Parade, Michalka says, “It’s great for strength, for core. I love that there’s no way to bulk with Pilates. That’s impossible because you’re using your own body strength. It feels great on your joints. My body always feels so good afterwards. And warmed up.” As for her diet, Michalka says she tries to “keep the greens up,” but says doing so is “the hardest struggle.”

7. AJ Michalka

Similar to her sister Aly, AJ Michalka also does Pilates. “My balance and flexibility have never been stronger due to Pilates,” Michalka tells Parade.com. “I sprinkle in yoga a little bit in my every day routine if I can, but Pilates on the Reformer, for me, is my main form of working out. I have the most fun doing this.” When Michalka is touring, she uses the Wunderbar Pilates Movement online program from her trainer. “We’ll bring discs, we’ll bring a ring, we’ll bring a ball, we’ll bring bands.”

8. Kim Herjavec

Dancing With the Stars’ Kym Herjavec obviously credits her body to her Latin and ballroom dance training. However, Herjavec also owns and teaches at her own Beverly Hills workout center, The Bod. Herjavec also wrote a book about her diet, called the “The 5, 6, 7, 8 Diet,” both an homage to her dancer background, and an explanation of the diet itself. “Five means you should have five sources of protein in your diet, six means the colors of the rainbow, seven is sources of anti-inflammatory foods, eight is to stay hydrated, eight glasses of water,” Herjavec explained on Good Morning America.

9. Doja Cat

Rapper Doja Cat opened up about her struggle with body dysmorphia in Cosmopolitan. To help combat this, she says “I just try to focus on eating well.” On a recent Instagram Live, Doja took her fans on a tour of her fridge. She says that she tries to incorporate staple foods in her diet. These foods include quinoa, tuna, and kale. When she’s craving junk food, she tends to snack on kale chips. Doja also drinks green juices, fruit juices, and water. The rapper shared on Twitter that she also cooks for herself. “I eat two eggs and spinach tortilla with caramelized onions, pepper jack cheese and hot sauce and roll it up. I also eat a lot of seaweed.”

10. Carrie Underwood

Country star Carrie Underwood tells SELF magazine that she commits to a vegan lifestyle, “I saw a friend who looked amazing that had recently gone vegan, I thought ‘What’s holding me back?’” She says, “I’ll never eat meat again, because I look and feel better without it.” Underwood says she keeps a food journal, and uses the LifeStrong.com app to track her meals.

Underwood also has a unique fitness plan. "I have a game I love for when I'm working out on my own, without a trainer. I take a deck of cards and assign each suit a body area—say, diamonds for arms, hearts for legs, spades for core and clubs for cardio. I split the deck in half and write down exercises for each suit, a different one for each half."

11. Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is on a new diet plan.” In a tweet in 2020, Kardashian revealed that she eats mostly bland based meals.

Kardashian also works with trainer Melissa Alcantara. “Melissa is a trainer I found. She’s super inspiring to me, and I really want to meet up with her and see if she could train me. She could help direct my food and really get me on an amazing path… If I were 10 percent like her, it would be life-changing. Like my whole arms and back. It’s mostly food. I gotta have this lifestyle. I gotta try.” According to this Instagram post, Kardashian’s workout includes running on a treadmill to start, along with Pilates, cardio, and strength training.

12. Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian told People that one of her tricks is cutting out dairy, and practicing portion control. "I used to eat nachos with artificial cheese, and too many sweets," she said, "I kind of eat what I want, but in portion control, which I never knew before. You have to train your body to eat less. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach." Kardashian told USA Today that she likes to have a variety of workouts. "I love Soul Cycle, hot yoga, circuit training, obstacle-type things," she says. "I don't like to do the same workout all the time."

13. Kourtney Kardashian

Kardashian prefers a matcha seed pudding. Kardashian always makes time for exercises, even without going to the gym, or meeting with a trainer. Kardashian says she will work out in her home. “I’ll do dips on my bathtub for my triceps. I’ll try to do three sets of 25 a day,” Kardashian says. “And then, no matter what, I always do 100 squats before I get in the shower because I won’t forget it.”

14. Kylie Jenner

Fashion entrepreneur and reality star, Kylie Jenner, used to not be as passionate about working out, according to her family. However, after having a baby, Jenner started living healthier. In a video with Harper’s Bazaar, Jenner says, “I never find myself in a gym. I find myself on the floor of my bedroom, looking up on like, Google or Pinterest, workouts — and doing abs, lunges, squats. All that good stuff." Jenner also says that she never eats the same thing for lunch or dinner, but she drinks peach tea, bone broth, raw celery juice, and a vanilla iced latte with oat milk for breakfast.

15. Kendall Jenner

Model Kendall Jenner told Yahoo that she has low blood sugar and needs to snack a lot. “I definitely need things to keep me going (aka lots of food!) Here's what will forever and always make my list: Twix, Justin's Peanut Butter, chips and guac, and hummus and carrots. See, pretty simple—just feed me and I'm ready to go!" Jenner also admits that she’s not the healthiest eater, “I love anything unhealthy,” she said to Byrdie. Jenner says when she tries to eat healthy, she eats a lot of grilled chicken with rice. Jenner also hates working out. “I hate cardio,” she said with a laugh. “I’d rather just stand there and lift some weights than run in place.” She paused for a moment. “But I’ll do it!” Jenner discussed how she and her trainer do exercises that work out her abs and her butt, like squats and planks.

16. Padma Lakshmi

While filming Top Chef, Padma Lakshmi says she consumes “about 5,000 to 8,000 calories a day.” To stay in shape, Lakshmi tells Women’s Fitness that she “strength trains, uses the treadmill and elliptical, and boxes three times a week.” Lakshmi says, “I plank and jump rope at home. I carry a jump rope with me everywhere.”

17. Bella Hadid

Model Bella Hadid tells Vogue Paris that her workouts are a combination of cardio and strength, with a focus on boxing. "When time is on my side, I train with my coach for intensive sessions. I run non-stop for 20 minutes followed by a boxing session and finally a series of weights targeting the abs and glutes. We keep the routines varied, so the sessions are always fun.” Hadid’s sister, Gigi, also a model, will sometimes join her for a boxing session. “She's a bad-ass, who is strong and sturdy both mentally and physically,” Hadid says.

18. Brooke Burke

Model and TV Host Brooke Burke has been a fitness icon for years, and has her own fitness app, Brooke Burke Body. “I get on the treadmill, put it at a 15% incline and walk at about 3.5 miles per hour,” she says to Shape. “I’m also crazy about Pilates Plus, which I do three times a week. The class is 55 minutes, head to toe. In that short amount of time, I’ve done everything I need to do.” Burke also keeps a bucket list of goals she wants to accomplish. “Every woman should give herself an hour to dream and write down her desires," she says. "Once I started focusing on the things I wanted, they all started coming true."

19. Normani

Singer Normani tells Modeliste Magazine that “discipline is the number one thing” when it comes to diet and exercise. When she is on tour, she substitutes gym sessions with performances. “I would say my workout regime would be every night on stage performing hour-long sets,” she shared.

According to People, the singer says she drinks two cups of herbal tea, 16 ounces of lemon alkaline water, and 64 ounces of plain alkaline water every day.

20. Rihanna

Singer and fashion icon Rihanna has been reported to have two trainers at the same time. She told Doctor’s Clinic, “Cardio is the key. I work out every day but I need a trainer to motivate me. I don’t find it fun to work out alone.” Rihanna told Vanity Fair in 2015 that one of the reasons she works out is to not have to worry as much about what she eats. "I have been in the gym every day this week because I am not willing to give up my food," she told the publication. "But I will sacrifice an hour for the gym."

21. SZA

Rapper SZA, recently lost a lot of weight, which left many fans wanting her secrets.

22. Rita Ora

Rita Ora tells Shape that discipline is key to her wellness routine. “I've been the girl on tour who eats when she can and goes along when the band wants to go out all the time. But you just can't keep that up. You start thinking, ‘I miss feeling good!'” Ora explains. Ora says she commits to circuit-training “I usually work out for one or two hours, depending on how much time I have. I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio. What I've learned is that you can take your time with training. You don't have to beat yourself up as long as you get in the workouts that you need. I used to push myself until I felt sick. But I'm approaching it differently now. I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath-that feeling of contentment."

23. Lily Aldridge

Model Lily Aldridge tells Shape Magazine that she always tries to keep healthy food and snacks in her fridge. “I love avocado,” she says, “It’s my favorite snack.

24. Ashley Roberts

Pussycat Dolls member Ashley Roberts says that she loves to exercise. Roberts told The Daily Star, “I have grown up being involved in fitness because my mom was a personal trainer, and I do dancing. So, I really enjoy being active. I do spin, I do hot yoga, circuit training – I do a lot.”

As for Roberts’ diet and eating habits, she says, “I try to eat really clean – tons of veggies. I eat a lot of avocado. I try to have juice that has been squeezed from a juicer and not anything that has been bottled up in a store.”

25. Nastia Liukin

Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin tells HollywoodLife.com that she tries to workout every day, every season. “I love pilates, I love hot yoga, SoulCycle, just going for a run. If I can't get out to do a class, in my house, I do squats, pushups, a little circuit. There’s really no excuse. There is no, ‘I don’t have access to a gym’ — go for a run or a walk outside, do squats in your living room. It’s really important to stay young, to stay healthy.” Liukin encourages people to make their excercises fun, like going ice skating with friends. “It doesn’t matter where you are, just get your body moving. Obviously, it’s easier in the summer, but the winter is just as important.” As for her diet, Liukin says “The biggest thing is to treat yourself, because if you tell yourself, you can’t have something, that’s all you want.” Liukin says that her “number one thing is moderation. Indulge, but not every single day.”

26. Tayshia Adams

The Bachelorette star and host, recently made a big change to her diet. "I used to start my day with coffee. I looked forward to it every night when I went to bed,"

Adams tells Women’s Health, “But I've been feeling like my body was missing something, so I started trying out celery juice and lemon water instead. I’ve noticed that my body really, really likes it.” Adams also makes smoothies daily. “I do some milk, lots of spinach, fruit like pineapple or blueberries, a scoop of collagen or protein powder, and chia seeds,” she said.

27. Lisa Rinna

Actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna told People that she describes her diet as a “dirty vegan.” “I’m mostly plant-based—but if I do need to eat some meat, I’ll have it,” she says. Rinna says that she is a believer in moderation when it comes to eating. “I don’t like to use the word diet because if I do, I’ll want to eat 10 times more,” she says. On Rinna’s website, she says her exercise routine is quite varied. “My one piece of advice though is finding more than one form of exercise that you love to do and then mixing it up.” Rinna herself has done exercises like goat yoga and salsa. She even released a dance-based workout DVD.

28. Hailee Steinfeld

Actress and singer Hailee Steinfield says that her busy schedule actually helps her workout. Steinfeld told Shape Magazine "Touring is great because when I'm performing and sound-checking, I'm putting in more work than I realize. I'll still set aside extra time to work out, even if it's just 15 minutes of taking a walk or getting in a little bit of cardio after a day's work. If I'm in the gym I'll switch it up between the elliptical, bike, treadmill, or swimming. Even when I'm not busy, I always stick to my favorites: circuit training and kickboxing. Running isn’t my favorite, but I’ll still do it.”

29. Jasmine Tookes

Victoria’s Secret Angel, Jasmine Tookes, tells StyleCaster.com that she carries protein bars while traveling as a healthy snack. “I don’t like the airport food, so I always have those with me to get my protein,” she says. Tookes says she cooks when she’s “training hard and getting ready for the Victoria’s Secret show.” Tookes says she keeps her meals simple, “I’ll just do grilled chicken with zucchini.” As for exercise? Tookes follows an Instagram account called Motivation for Fitness. “Whenever I’m scrolling on the page, I’m like ‘Ok, it’s time for the gym.’ It just motivates me.” Tookes also says, “I do barre classes, I think it’s really good and gives you a nice little bum, so I do it twice a week. I also do a lot of weight training filled with squats and lunges and all that fun stuff.

30. Olivia Culpo

Swimsuit model and former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo told HollywoodLife her workout and diet. For her exercises she says, “I really do like SoulCycle. I just feel like it’s an easy meditative way to work out. I can really zone out during that workout. And then I like to run. It’s a little harder in the winter because it’s chilly. I also like Pilates. I think Pilates is also another almost meditative type of workout. You can just forget everything and go through the motions and breathe.” Culpo admits that following a healthy diet can be difficult for her. “I try really hard. I really try to cut out carbs when I’m not working. When I’m preparing for something and being good, I cut out carbs. So my ideal good day would be egg whites, avocado, turkey bacon for breakfast. Then, for lunch, I would have a salad with protein, and for dinner, I would have veggies with protein.”

1. Nicole Scherzinger

The Pussycat Dolls frontwoman and Masked Singer judge says that she makes sure to keep healthy foods in her fridge at all times. She tells Goodto.com that she has “Cheese, turkey, cherry tomatoes, almond milk, a little bit of normal milk for my tea, coconut water, eggs – and all the basics. And a Müller Püd Corner of course!” Scherzinger says that she uses these ingredients to make healthy meals. She says that her go-tos are, “My favourite breakfast is six-minute eggs with smoked salmon and toast. Or just scrambled eggs with a turkey sausage or turkey bacon. For lunch I’ll have sushi, a sandwich or a salad. And for dinner I love seafood pasta, fish and brown rice and veggies or chicken, brown rice and veggies.”

2. Brielle Biermann

The reality star revealed that she uses supplements to help her get her bikini-body. She wrote on Instagram, “Everyone’s asking how i lost weight.. secrets out! so thankful my daily Modere trim got me bikini ready for the summer!”

3. Jordana Brewster

The Fast and The Furious and Lethal Weapon star tells Byrdie that she and her trainer work on posture and alignment. She says, “I also work with someone named Lauren Roxburgh—she does foam rolling, and it’s really good as far as getting your fascia in shape, and it does a lot with your alignment and your posture, and that’s been really helpful too. I find that I’m more limber after a session with her.”

4. Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox says that her fitness regime is more about having fun and being comfortable, rather than losing weight. "I'm not overachieving in fitness at the moment," Cox tells InStyle. "I'm doing it, it's not as high-level, but I like where I'm at with it now. It's fun, it's medicinal, and I'm not being hard on myself. I think studying classical ballet creates this thing where you just beat yourself up, and I'm not doing that right now."

5. Larsa Pippen

Larsa Pippen revealed her workout routine on Instagram, and says that she likes to do a lot of full-body HIIT movements. In the video, Pippen is using weights and is seen doing deadlifts, front squats, low rows, and static combos. Pippen previously told HollywoodLife that she does two sessions of “40 squats a set.” She says, “If you incorporate weights into that then you wouldn’t have to do so many. You would just do 12-15 reps.”

6. Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson says that she is all about self-care and self-love. One of the ways she does so is giving herself breaks, and lightening her schedule. “I’m trying to have much more of a balance,” she says to Bustle. “I used to be go-go-go 24/7, and so I’ve come to that realization that you can’t just do movies and stuff back to back all the time and work 20 hours a day. It’s not a healthy thing.”

7. Olivia Culpo

The former Miss Universe and fashion icon Olivia Culpo is known for her incredible figure, and she works hard to keep herself in shape. "I've noticed it's very important to be consistent with workouts," she says to Shape magazine. "I think it's really easy for people to go through phases where they're really intense with their workouts and then they kind of fall out of it." Culpo says that she tries to stay active everyday, no matter how busy she gets. "I try to stay active as much as I can by doing low-impact, high-intensity workouts so that I'm consistent and I don't wake up one day and realize it's been two weeks and I haven't worked out."

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.”

She Tries to Get Enough Sleep

“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.”

She Hydrates

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.”
