Charli Hawkins is training in the snow – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Olympian shows off her fantastic figure – including her flat abs – in an exercise set while enjoying the winter weather. “TRAINING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! ❄️🥶❤️✨Gearing up in this altitude for the LONDON MARATHON this April! I’m so excited to see what my mind and body can make happen! To my marathon runners: it’s your time to shine, PLEASE tell me ALL of your tips, all of your advice, and for all of you who understand what I’m about to attempt, please send your words of encouragement 😂 Also feel free to try to talk me out of this as well thanks👍 We are on the training countdown. Turning a sprinter, jumper, and thrower into a long distance runner 🫣🙌 What do you think my time will be?” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


Minfulness and Meditation

Charli practices mindfulness. Before going for a run, she says words of intention. “I am willing. I am grateful. I surrender,” she revealed during an interview with San Diego Magazine. Meditation:

“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

Stretching

She also makes sure to stretch. “If you ever can think of some dynamic stretches: F.A.S.T. ✨🙌 My left hip and right QLs have been SO tight lately so I’m on a journey of getting them right! What’s bugging you at the moment???” she captioned a post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here Is The Right Way To Run

During her interview with San Diego, Charli explained how you should be running. “Remember, the sole of the foot is showing right in front of us,” she said, doing a type of high-knee movement. “To do this, you’re over exaggerating your running form while standing still. Raise your knee up, point your toes to the clouds (forming an A), and then pedal the sole of your foot forward before striking your knee down. It’s more complicated than it sounds after 30-plus years of moving a certain way,” the writer explained.

Positive Attitude

In a recent post Charli revealed things she learned about positivity. “Patience is easier when it isn’t required,” she said. “The people around you are BLESSINGS (which I feel like I already understood but sometimes it’s nice to have it emphasized).” Also, “We are up, we are down, but trusting the process sometimes means knowing that it’s all good even when it’s not the best” and “Making a plan is the best option for everything. It’s ok if the plan doesn’t go perfect, but just willy-nilly-ing it is not the best option when you want to get things done.”

Never Giving Up

Charli refuses to give up. “Understand what you want first, and then go for it. Then keep going for it all the time, and, eventually, you’ll get it,” she said during her interview.

Made In Chelsea star Binky Felstead is sharing some inspirational wellness advice for her fans and followers. Felstead, 33, posted a video of herself wearing black leggings and a gray shirt, doing an outdoor mat workout. “In a world that constantly tells us to change, let’s embrace the power of acceptance. Your body is your sanctuary, and every inch tells a unique story. Let’s be kind to ourselves, love the journey, and celebrate the incredible vessel that is our own body 💪🏼,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the busy mom of three stays fit, focused, and happy.

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

Good,Afternoon,Or,After,Midnight,With,5:00,Clock,On,WhiteShutterstock

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.”

Tay Conti, aka Tay Melo, is looking freakishly fit in her swimsuit! The Brazilian AEW wrestler shows off her incredible figure while wearing a scary mask in her latest social media snap. “Happy Halloween?! 👻The PPV from this day is insane and fun,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the athlete keep herself fit? Read on to see 5 of Tay Conti’s top tips for staying 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. Train Hard

Tay invests a lot of time training. “My training routine is kind of crazy, because I do a lot of traveling,” she told Kung Fu Kingdom. “So, I don’t really have a set routine, but of course, wrestling is my priority. I have some great people who help me with things like diet too, and whenever I have time, I train in judo and jiu-jitsu. So a lot of it depends on my traveling schedule, but for the ring material, I’m always preparing for that.”

2. Find a Fitness Hobby

If you want a great figure like Tay, find hobbies that blast calories. One of hers? Soccer. “I started judo in a soccer club, so I’ve always had a love for soccer. So it’s like, Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, all martial arts, then soccer!” she said about her passions.

3. Eat “Super Clean”

Tay maintains that a healthy diet is a key part of her stay-fit plan. ”I try to eat super clean – but of course, I end up having pizza and burgers! Every time I’m on the road, I try to eat super clean. Rice and steak are my go to’s every time, and I also love carbs, so I have something with carbs every day,” she told Kung Fu Kingdom.

4. Take Your Workout Outdoors

One way Tay keeps fitness fun? She exercises outdoors whenever possible. On a recent trip to Tulum, Mexico, she did squats and pullups in her swimsuit. “I’m in love with jungle gym 😍 workout in a bikini and with sea view ... it’s a dream,” she tweeted about the outdoor gym.

5. Believe in Yourself

Self-love is another building block when it comes to health and fitness: “Believe in yourself.” She told Kung Fu Kingdom. “It’s so simple and cliché, but I think it’s really important. When you believe in yourself and put in hard work, anything can happen. Whether you’re poor, or rich, and have your family helping you out, if you believe in yourself, and you work hard, you’ll be able to do whatever you want.”

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! 🤣👶🏽”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, 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 reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, 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 or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. 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.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

A vegan food that Romani enjoys is salad. She shared this Instagram story of herself enjoying a vegan cobb salad. Bupa states that salad is very beneficial. “Salads can contain several foods which are prebiotics. These are foods which act as fuel for healthy bacteria. It also provides a type of indigestible fibre, which can be beneficial for your gut health. Foods to consider including in your salad can be onions, garlic, kale, carrots, and asparagus.”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
