Charli Hawkins Swears By These 5 Get Fit Tips "Training in a Winter Wonderland"

1. Smashing Her Workouts

Felstead loves the way regular exercise makes her feel (hello endorphins!). “Exercise gives me such a positive feeling!” she told Hip and Healthy. “Even when it’s cold and I want to stay in bed and skip a workout, that feeling I get after I’ve smashed a great workout gets me up every time… [My top health tips are] eat little and often, breakfast is key! Never skip it! [Eat] a varied healthy diet – you don’t want to get bored!”

2. HIIT and Horses

Felstead swears by high intensity workouts like HIIT. “I’ve always been active from a young age as I used to do a lot of horse riding, but it’s only the past couple of years that I’ve really committed to fitness,” she told Hip and Healthy. “I train three to four times a week and it’s my go-to escape – it’s important to me that my mind and body are the best they can be and fitness does that. I like to feel like I’ve exercised my whole body so I love a HIIT workout. Some days I do like to focus more on specific areas so I do exercises targeted to helping achieve a peachier bum!”

3. Fasted Training

Felstead always trains on an empty stomach. “Finding your motivation is the key to fitness,” she told Women’s Health. “After a weekend of indulgence, the last thing I want to do is head to the gym on Monday morning. Getting there is the hard bit. I stick my headphones in, crank up the house music and it’s over before I know it. I train three times a week for an hour in the morning. I tend to not eat before I go to the gym in the morning because high-intensity training sometimes makes me feel sick. Also fasted training encourages my body to burn its own fat, rather than the food I’ve just eaten as energy.”

4. Weekend Fun

Felstead is sensible during the week and indulges in her favorite spicy curries on the weekend. “I think it’s good to have a day where you can go all out, every so often,” she told Get the Gloss. “I think it’s important to live a little and have a cheat day, go out to your favorite restaurant and enjoy it; I like the Big Easy on the King’s Road and Cote in Parsons Green.”

5. No Carbs After 5

Felstead enjoys a protein-packed diet with lots of healthy fats. “My normal breakfast is smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and avocado on rye bread,” she told Get the Gloss. “I usually make breakfast for myself after walking my dog. I’ve been doing this delivery service called Fresh Fitness Food. It’s my first time doing it but I’ve really been enjoying it. It’s nice not to think about what to eat as it’s already prepared for you. I try to avoid carbs after 5pm, but I love spicy food, like tom yum soup or king prawn soup for dinner. When I go on a night out I drink vodka, lime and soda.”

Charli XCX is at Coachella, and loving it. The singer shared pictures of herself in a black bathing suit, posing backstage and performing for her fans. “FIRST COACHELLA THANK YOU!” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Charli stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Working Out Five Times a Week

Charli relies on her workouts to give her the energy to perform. “I perform in a really high octane and energetic type of way. So, for me, it's important to keep fit. Also, I find that if I don't exercise, I feel less awake. I try to workout five times a week because it really lifts my mood and makes me feel more positive. It's important for me to stay balanced.”

2. Lots of Water

Charli relies on drinking lots of water for health, beauty, and getting over jetlag. “I get kind of lazy when I’m on tour,” she says. “It’s a lot of face wipes — I like Johnson’s. It’s made for babies, but that’s what my mom used to buy. My mom is terrible with makeup, so no words of wisdom there, but the one thing she does tell me is to drink loads of water.”

3. Yoga Mat Sessions

Charli never skips her yoga sessions, even when she’s on the road. “I always take a yoga mat everywhere and do body-weight exercises,” she says. “I try to do that before each show. It really works for me.”

4. Performance Workout

Charli says performing is a workout in itself. "Performing is my favorite workout,” she says. “I do go pretty hard on stage. The gym is not my scene. I did an Insanity workout on tour for a while. It was hilarious… Does pizza-eating count as a sport?! That's good for biceps, surely? Lift and bite!”

5. Balanced Diet

Charli enjoys pizza and fried chicken, but makes sure to balance it out with healthy food too. "I love sushi, but I also love pizza,” she says. “Let's just say it's balanced!" "All types of fish contain protein, but only some have omega-3 fats. These healthy fats benefit your heart by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease or blood clots. Additionally, they provide brain boosts and have anti-inflammatory properties. Mackerel is a good source of omega-3 fats, as is salmon, tuna and eel," says the Cleveland Clinic.

Fitness influencer and trainer Alexia Clark is sharing a very fun outdoors workout that targets the abs and core. Clark posted a video of herself wearing black two-piece workout gear, doing mat exercises in the sunshine by a pool. “Save this workout and tag a friend so they can do it too! Perform 4 rounds and take it from me, it’s fun to do it outside! ☀️☀️☀️ #abs #core #freeworkout,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the Instagram sensation stays fit, happy, and healthy.

1. Best and Worst Workouts

Clark says her favorite workout is hiking, and her least favorite is spinning. “There is a difference between training and exercising,” she told Meal Prep On Fleek. “You can do anything to exercise, like play soccer with your kids or go hiking. Working out/training is hard...that's when you’re pushing yourself and working on your weaknesses.”

2. Vacation Workouts

Clark likes to stay active even on vacation. “If you have a hotel gym, why not make the most of it? Even if it’s just a 20 minute session before breakfast,” she writes on her website. “If you get a quick workout done in the morning (especially if you’re in a hot climate) you’ll feel so much better for the rest of the day and will be able to relax as much as you like. You could also take your exercise outside, try exploring the local area on foot or do a quick workout on the beach. You’ll even find active tours in a lot of major cities, they cover everything from running to biking and hiking. Active tours are a great way to see new places and learn fun facts about where you are.”

3. Meal Prepping

Clark likes to do some meal prep every week to make life easier. “I halfway meal prep,” she told Meal Prep On Fleek. “I'll make a spaghetti squash, or a bunch of cauliflower rice, at the beginning of the week and I'll just leave it plain so I can make a bunch of different things with it throughout the week. You can do the same thing with ground turkey and chicken. I love spaghetti squash with salsa and ground turkey. One of my favorites right now is doing ground turkey, butternut squash, tomato, onion, and corn.”

4. Hydration Is Key

Clark tries to stay hydrated when she’s traveling. “It’s so easy to forget, but it’s so important to drink more water if you’re on vacation, especially if you decide to eat high sodium foods or sugary things,” she writes on her website. “If you can, keep an ice cold bottle of water with you wherever you go. Often we mistake thirst for hunger, so you may end up eating more if you’re dehydrated. Watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries and lettuce are all over 92 percent water and are great choices for snacks to keep your water levels up.”

5. Summer Fitness

Clark has good advice on staying fit during the endless summer barbecues and cookouts. “For those of you hosting or attending a barbecue, consider preparing some healthy alternatives,” she writes on her website. “My go-to is a delicious grilled vegetable platter seasoned with herbs. Or, for a sweet treat, try making fruit skewers. Not only do they look cute but they’re so refreshing.”

Australian fitness trainer and influencer Chontel Duncan is sharing her go-to back and bicep exercise routine with fans and followers. Duncan has five children and prioritizes fast, effective workouts, as shown in a recent Instagram video where she goes through the movements while wearing blue and gray two-piece workout gear. “Here’s a sneak peek of my back & bi’s session that Sam and I squeezed in with all five kids in tow! 💪🏽 Luckily, we’ve got a crèche at @hiit_capalaba to keep them safe and close while we get to work,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the busy working mom gets it all done.

1. Travel Workout Tips

Duncan doesn’t skip workouts when she’s traveling. “When I last traveled, I researched each location I stayed at,” she told Health and Fitness Travel. “I knew I wouldn’t always want to train at the hotel, so I found local gyms that provided day passes for circuit and HIIT style workout classes. Starting my day off with a workout and a good breakfast provided me with an incredible boost of energy to enjoy the adventures of the day. If you are sight-seeing, consider a walking or cycling tour, and look for local walking trails. Activities like swimming are great low intensity cardio exercise that gets your whole body moving. If you’re by the beach try water sports like snorkeling or surfing.”

2. Self-Care

Duncan makes a point of some alone time at the end of the day. “Each week I always make sure to allocate 30 minutes a day for ‘me time’ once my sons have gone to bed,” she told RUN Singapore. “I put my phone down and sit on the couch for some much needed zen time. The weekends are my time for family playing outside or swimming in the pool. Scheduling in personal time or self-improvement time ensures I take time out for myself and can recharge my batteries.”

3. She Has a Sensible Diet

Duncan is sensible about her diet, especially when she’s on vacation. “I never sacrifice an opportunity to enjoy local foods because of how ‘unhealthy’ it might be,” she told Health and Fitness Travel. “However, I do take some steps to ensure I am able to enjoy without overindulging and abandoning my healthy habits. Before you order your main, try ordering an entree of vegetables or salad. Once you have some food in your tummy, then make a decision on your main course. With every main meal that you order, try and add an additional serving of vegetables or salad for added fiber which will assist with digestion and help to prevent you from overindulging.”

4. Weight Loss Advice

Duncan has good advice for anyone trying to lose weight. "The foremost key to achieving successful weight loss lies in the harmonious integration of nutrition and training,” she told Nine Coach. “It's imperative to invest equal amounts of energy, time, and dedication into both facets. My second tip, if I were to offer another, underscores the importance of considering the sustainability of your approach. Ask yourself whether the path you're on is one you can envision yourself following consistently, even two years down the line. Sustainability ensures adherence, and this, in turn, leads to a more enjoyable and fulfilling journey toward your fitness goals."

5. The Back Routine

Here is the exact back and bicep routine Duncan shares:

“First 2 sets: Choose a weight I can just hit 12 reps with, followed by a 60-second rest between every set.

Set 3: Increase weight to hit 8 reps.

Set 4: Push for 6-8 reps with an even heavier load.

This approach is perfect when I’m feeling strong and have a trusty spotter for those last few reps! I powered through three back exercises and two bicep moves before the kiddos decided the workout was over! 🤣👶🏽”

Chelsea Green is hitting the Alo gym and flaunting her flat abs. In a new social media post the WWE star shows off her fit figure in a two-piece workout set while getting her sweat on with some friends. “First things first - @alo workout. Thanks for having us,” she captioned the Instagram photos. “Strong goooorrrlllssss!!!!” one of her followers commented. “cutie patooties,” another added. How does the athlete approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Strength Training

Chelsea stays in shape by strength training. “I enjoy the physicality of being a wrestler,” Chelsea told Fitness Gurls. I’ve also always loved working out and seeing my body change, so now to be able to do that and be rewarded is amazing.” 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

2. Self-Inspiration

Chelsea is her own fitspiration. “Seeing myself on national television weekly is enough inspiration to get my ass out of bed every morning! In wrestling, we have no offseason. So unlike most sports, we don’t have time to binge eat or to take vacations from the gym,” she added to Fitness Gurls. “That in itself is a blessing and a curse. I constantly stay in the gym and make sure that my workout routines are ones that I can uphold 24/7 as opposed to fad diets. With that being said, there are plenty of injuries that come with my job. I’ve learned to workout around those, while also knowing when to just REST.”

3. Boxing Classes

Aside from professionally kicking butt, Chelsea supplements with boxing and kickboxing workouts. “Couldn’t leave NYC without a quick ass kicking from @doyourumble,” she captioned a post on Instagram.

4. F45

Chelsea takes classes at F45, a combination of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), functional training and circuit training. Fun fact: Mark Wahlberg is a big investor in the company. “New location, same death,” she captioned a snap from the Oviedo, Florida studio. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

5. Hiking

Chelsea is a hiker. “My favorite hike with my favorite fur nephew!,” she captioned a snap taken with a dog. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
