Charli D'Amelio in Workout Gear Dances, Saying "It's So Good to Be Back"

Charli D'Amelio is returning to her dancing roots – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer and TikTok alum shows off her incredible body and her impressive dance moves while getting a workout in. “felt good to be back (i am so sore today it’s insane)” she captioned the Instagram video. “back where to where it all started,“ one of her followers commented. “i’m so proud of you charli,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Dancing

Charli shot to fame as a TikTok dancer. "You know, dance wasn't something that I found fun anymore. It was something that was more just, I did to do it and, you know, it was over when it was over and I didn't look forward to it anymore. And I think with Dancing With the Stars every week, it's like, you know, I'm hearing from other people that I finally look like I'm having fun," she told People about how the show brought her back to her roots. "I look happy and I'm feeling, kind of, those same things that I used to feel when I was younger, dancing, that I kind of lost and thought that I wouldn't find again," she said. "Just because it had been so long without being that excited for performance. To be able to do that again is really a full circle moment for me and just makes me really happy."

2. Strength Training Sessions

Charli works out with Ben Bruno, trainer-to-the-stars, with her sister, Dixie, and mother Heidi. Their workouts consist mostly of strength and weight training. 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. Cheat Meals

Charli has a go-to cheat meal: Dunkin Donuts. She even ended up partnering with the brand. “The Dunkin Donuts collaboration came about after a lot of free promotion. For a while, everyone thought I was getting paid. But I was not. I just shamelessly promoted and promoted because I really wanted to work with them. And then they finally gave me the opportunity and I immediately took it,” she told Forbes.

4. Coffee

Charli is such a coffee fan, she has “two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide” at Dunkin,” she told Forbes. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

5. Being Open About Her Issues

Charli uses her platform to raise awareness about her issues. “It’s extremely hard to go from having a very unhealthy mindset with food to a healthy one, especially when you’ve dealt with it alone for so long,” she added, revealing that she ended up meeting other influencers and having an open discussion about it all. “At least now I have friends that I can talk to and that made me work so much harder to get a healthy relationship with food again.”

Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas is hard at work training, and she’s getting stronger by the day. Douglas, 28, shared a picture of herself wearing black shorts and a sports bra, posing in front of a mirror at the gym. “She in the gym tonight 💪,” she captioned the post. “You are such a sweetheart, superstar trailblazer and we love you!” a fan commented. Douglas is competing again after years away from the spotlight—here’s what her health and wellness routine looks like.

1. Stretching and Dancing

Douglas loves stretching and dancing. "I honestly like to dip my feet in so many things," she told PopCulture. "I love trampoline workouts, cardio. I do a lot of stretching, dancing. I kind of do it all, to be honest, because I love just extending myself and even expanding my brain. So I tap into a lot of things. Smoothies are definitely on the list as far as the diet and just fruits and veggies, and a lot, a lot of water."

2. Working Out With Pups

Douglas loves to work out with her pups. "It's so funny because sometimes when I do my workout, [the dogs] literally tag along," she told PEOPLE. "Like I love to run the stairs, I love to run laps around my house, and so they'll just follow me and it's honestly a great thing because the more active that we can keep them, the better. They have so much longevity."

3. Homemade Food

Douglas tries to give her pets great quality food. "I am such a health nut. Not only do our research what goes into my body and my mind, I'll do the same thing for [my animals]," she told PEOPLE. "We do everything homemade, everything has to be organic and natural, no GMOs, no preservatives or pesticides because that really affects the animal. Everything natural because it was put on this planet to help these animals."

4. Smoothie Fan

Douglas partnered up with Smoothie King to relaunch the Hydration Watermelon smoothie. “I'm so into health and diet and awareness,” she told PopCulture. “I'm just so grateful to be a part of something so beneficial and it's made of coconut water, watermelon juice, strawberries, which is super beneficial for hydration, especially as an athlete. We extend so much energy, so we need to replenish what our bodies are made of."

5. Gymnastics Return

Douglas is thrilled to return to gymnastics. “There were a lot of skills and competitions that I didn’t attend when I was younger, and so just kind of getting back out there and reaching that height of gymnastics,” she told New Beauty. “Doing different things is very exciting for me, but I honestly just hope to get that joy back. I missed the crowds. I missed designing the leotards, so that’s what really got me back into it. I was watching one of my friends, and I was just like, ‘Man, I miss this. What if I went back?’”

Charli D'Amelio is living her best life in the Bahamas in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the TikTok and reality star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit alongside pal GiaNina Paolantonio while vacationing with a group of friends at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. “What a time lol,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Gorgeous Girls,” commented one of her millions of followers. How does the young celebrity approach health and fitness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.

1. Exercising with Family

Charli, her sister, and mother Heidi regularly train with Ben Bruno. In a recent TikTok video, they do a variety of strength and weight training exercises. Working out with others is a great way to keep yourself accountable and make exercise fun.

2. Dancing

One of the main ways Charli burns calories is by dancing. "You know, dance wasn't something that I found fun anymore. It was something that was more just, I did to do it and, you know, it was over when it was over and I didn't look forward to it anymore. And I think with Dancing With the Stars every week, it's like, you know, I'm hearing from other people that I finally look like I'm having fun," she told People. "I look happy and I'm feeling, kind of, those same things that I used to feel when I was younger, dancing, that I kind of lost and thought that I wouldn't find again," she said. "Just because it had been so long without being that excited for performance. To be able to do that again is really a full circle moment for me and just makes me really happy." Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

3. Cheat Meals

Charli engages in the occasional cheat meal. Her go-to? Dunkin Donuts, who she ended up partnering with. “The Dunkin Donuts collaboration came about after a lot of free promotion. For a while, everyone thought I was getting paid. But I was not. I just shamelessly promoted and promoted because I really wanted to work with them. And then they finally gave me the opportunity and I immediately took it,” she told Forbes.

4. Coffee

Charli loves coffee so much, she has “two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide” at Dunkin,” she told Forbes. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

5. Walking

Charli is also a walker. On Valentine’s Day she took a long walk on the beach with her boyfriend, Landon Barker. 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.

Former Dancing With the Stars cast member Sharna Burgess is getting back into her best dance training since leaving the show. Burgess, 38, shared a video of herself dancing at a studio, wearing gray joggers and a white sports bra. “An imperfect work in progress. @julztocker I love how much we laugh with and at each other while trying to get it together lol. Back to basics today and it’s shocking how off balance and stiff I was/am. On DWTS I never focused on my own dancing but rather sacrificed it to be what and where my partner needed. I developed bad habits and my technique got lazy. This combo is a version of something I used to do every single day while I was with Burn the Floor,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Burgess is living her best life.

1. Postpartum Care

Burgess welcomed her first child with Brian Austin Green in 2022 and took her time getting back into fitness again. “Honestly, I thought I would [feel pressure]. I thought it would be because of having been an athlete and my body being my career — it’s not just about aesthetics on the outside, it’s about how my core feels to be able to dance and do what I do,” she told Us Weekly. I thought I would feel that pressure. [But] I don’t have pressure on myself.”

2. Love Your Workouts

Burgess has good advice for people just starting out on their fitness journey. “The best form of exercise is one that you enjoy,” she told PEOPLE. “Find a local dance studio, take a friend to hot yoga – make it a social thing if you struggle to find the motivation. Once there are changes in your body and your energy levels, that will be all the motivation you need.”

3. Goodbye To DWTS

Burgess has mixed feelings about not being asked to return to Dancing With the Stars. “Because it was such a shock, because I wasn’t expecting it, it was tough,” she told Variety. “It’s not the first time. My last five years on the show have been rocky — not because of the show. I love the show deeply, but we had a new executive producer come in, I think five years ago now. I had just won with Bobby Bones and he decided to not bring me back,” Burgess said. “There’s a lot of speculation as to why.”

4. Rest Day

Burgess always takes one day a week to rest and relax. “It’s a sleep-in, eat chocolate, and do whatever I want kind of day,” she told Now To Love. “That helps me stay in line throughout the rest of the week. I have very low willpower when it comes to food, but if I have my structure, and I know that I can indulge at the end of the week, then I feel good about it.”

No Off Season

Burgess doesn’t allow herself to have an ‘off season’. “I need to be equally as fit on and off season,” she told PEOPLE. “During the season I have less time for the gym – especially once we get into the final weeks. But if I cannot get my cardio in, I try and take a hot yoga class for stretching and calming my energy.”
