Charlotte Crosby is best known for being a cast member on the series, Geordie Shore. She recently released an Instagram collaboration with the brand, Blitz N Burn. In the collaboration, Crosby is seen doing boxing workouts with a trainer. She wore green workout clothes, looking good. The post was captioned, “👊THE COMBAT COMEBACK!👊 We’ve turned up the intensity and cranked up the cardio! Are you ready to push yourself outside your comfort zone, test your limits, improve your mind, body & soul ALL WHILE HAVING FUN FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Charlotte Crosby stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Picks Herself Up

Crosby doesn’t like to feel down for too long. She shared how she manages her feelings with heatworld. "I literally allow myself to be sad for 30 minutes and then I tell myself to get a f*cking grip and stop being such a moron. Lately, I was upset by something that happened and had a little bit of a cry. Then I thought, 'I've got an amazing life and amazing family amazing friends... I'm about to go on tour next month. Like, what more could I ask for from life?' Pull yourself together. There are people out there who are literally like struggling to pay the bills to have a roof over their head."

2. She Goes At Her Own Pace

Crosby is open about her fitness journey. She shared her biggest piece of fitness advice in an interview with Express. “My advice would be don’t be scared, don’t be overwhelmed by it all. It's all about taking everything at your own pace. You don’t need to go and do an hour workout with a load of people who are pushing you really hard. That’s not what fitness is all about.

3. She Stays Hydrated

Crosby makes sure to stay hydrated. When sharing her wellness secrets with Now To Love, she says that drinking a lot of water each day is important. “Drink plenty of water. I try to drink three litres per day. The main cause of a hangover is dehydration, so if you keep flushing your system out, you don’t feel as hungover, which means you won’t have cravings!”

2. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

When it comes to her fitness, Crosby is all about variety. She tells Express, “Every day I do something different. Variation is key because sticking to the same thing over and over again gets boring and you get sick [of it].”

5. She Works Out Every Day

Crosby tells Express that she makes sure to do some type of physical activity each day. “I don’t class things as a workout anymore. I just see myself moving more, so I move every single day of the week, so there’s not a day when I’ll just lie on the settee all day and watch TV. Every single day I’ll be moving, so days when I haven’t done an intense workout as such I’ll always do a 45 to an hour walk and that’s still just as good exercise as anything else."

Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby is sending a sweet social media message to her father on his birthday. Crosby, 34, shared a picture of herself wearing black cheetah-print leggings and a matching sports bra, holding a weight above her head. “To the world’s best Father, Grandfather and Father in law ❤️. You are the best @thediddyman1 I love you with all of my heart! And I am so grateful for you and your constant help with all of my life problems! The great leader and the wise owl! 🦉 me, Alba and Jake would be lost without you! But because you have decided to abandon us and run off to Germany the only present you will receive today is me feeding the fish 🐟 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 we can go out for a nice dinner when your back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you so much!” she captioned the post. Here’s how the reality star stays fit, strong, and happy.

1. Belly Blitz DVD

Crosby swears by her 3 Minute Belly Blitz DVD. “I am on the road so much getting into a gym isn’t always an option, however the DVD means I can workout anywhere and everywhere,” she told Healthista. “Even if I just have 3 minutes spare I can have a quick abs blast and I feel so much better than doing nothing! Having lost over two and a half stone with the help of the DVD, I am determined to keep the weight off so it is always packed!”

2. No Distracted Eating

Crosby avoids eating in front of the television or any other screen. “Eat slowly,” she told Closer. “I used to wolf down my food in five minutes then look for pudding because I was still hungry. Take your time over your tea - it should take 20 minutes to eat a meal. I guarantee you won’t be hungry if you eat more slowly, because it gives your tummy time to tell your brain that you’re full.”

3. Good Sneakers

Crosby has sneakers she swears by for her workouts. “Before I started to work out I didn’t appreciate the importance of good footwear,” she told Healthista. “My Reebok ZQuick trainers are lightweight yet still give me required support when putting myself through my paces. They look wicked too, I have got quite a collection now!”

4. Counting Calories

Crosby stresses how important it is to be aware of the calories in your food and drinks “Ignorance isn’t bliss - swot up on the calories in your favorite foods and drinks,” she told Closer. “If it’s a cocktail, consider whether you really want to have another glass and how much work it will take to burn off the calories. It makes you think about food and booze in a new light.”

5. Cosmetic Surgery

Crosby is open about getting cosmetic surgery. “I don’t regret having a nose job and I don’t think it sent a bad message because I told everyone at the time I didn’t rush into it,” she told Grazia. “Everyone says, ‘Why did you have to change yourself? You should be happy with how you look!’ but people enhance the way they look all the time with makeup. Parents put fixed braces on their children to improve the look of their teeth and don’t get criticised. I do not agree with people getting things done willy nilly but if someone’s not confident about something, don’t beat them up about changing it.”

WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark isn’t content with just being a basketball legend—she’s adding golf to the list of skills. Clark, 22, shared pictures of herself wearing black pants and a blue sweatshirt, hitting the green with golf pros Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam. “Fun day surrounded by two of the best to ever do it ⛳️📍The ANNIKA driven by @gainbridgesport,” she captioned the post. “What can’t you do?” commented teammate Aliyah A. Boston. Here’s how the Indiana Fever star stays fit, strong, and focused.


1. Strength Training

Clark put on eight pounds of muscle after working with strength and conditioning coach Lindsay Alexander in 2022/23. "Obviously she's a one-of-a-kind basketball player, but the thing is, she's not a one-of-a-kind person in the weight room," Alexander previously told Business Insider. "She has this very high skill set in basketball, but her physical development could really be improved."

2. Holistic Health and Wellness

Alexander made sure Clark employed a holistic approach to her training and wellness. "You can have the best training and the best basketball coach and all these things, but if you're not sleeping and taking care of your body appropriately, then it doesn't really matter," Alexander said. "[Clark] takes ownership of her sleep… and pretty good on the nutrition front. I think that has helped her really get to see the success from her training, because she's doing the other things as well."

3. Comfy Style

Clark has a specific style she feels comfortable in. “Usually I wear sweatpants and sweatshirts all the time,” she told Women’s Wear Daily. “I’m busy, I play basketball. But other than that, I feel like I’m very simple. I like simple things. I feel like I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone a little bit [now]. I mean, I’m definitely gonna show up in a Nike Tech fleece here and there.”

4. Record-Breaking Season

Clark had a record-breaking rookie season with the WNBA, and is still amazed at how far she’s come. "I think it's something that I'll always remember, like, coming into this league," she told CBS News. “A lot of these players are who I grew up watching on TV and wanting to be like, and now I get to play against them.”

5. Big City Dreams

Clark grew up in Des Moines, so Indianapolis feels like a big city to her. “I feel like Indianapolis is like such a good spot for myself,” she told Women’s Wear Daily. “It’s a basketball state — they love basketball through and through, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, but also I think the Fever is a first-class organization that is really trying to get back to their championship ways, and they’re gonna invest. So for myself, I can’t imagine a more perfect place to start my career. And obviously in the Midwest, I have a lot of fans. I can’t really script it any better.”

Stephanie Chung, a CrossFit athlete, embraces her fitness journey by staying consistent and intentional with her workouts. She shared on Instagram, “Gym time is me time! Worth it even if I only have 60 mins.” Stephanie knows the value of investing in herself and prioritizing health and wellness. Here’s a look at how she keeps herself active, strong, and motivated.


1. She warms up

Warming up before a workout is important, and Stephanie prioritizes getting her body ready to make her workouts safe and effective. Before a workout, she preps for 12 minutes, doing a barbell warm up, as seen on her Instagram. She leads up to weighted workouts with the barbell.

2. She does a gymnastics primer

Gymnastics is a fun way to get a workout in, challenging various muscles throughout the body. During her workout, she does prep work including a gymnastics primer, as seen on her Instagram. According to the Mayo Clinic, “no matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which lowers your risk of heart and blood vessel, called cardiovascular, diseases.”

3. She does bike and activation work

She does 2 rounds of bike and activation work, as seen on her Instagram. According to Better Health, “cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level.”

4. She runs

She gets a run in, spending time outdoors, as seen on her Instagram. “Wanted a cute pic on our trail run, but got this blurry one instead which is honestly way more realistic 🥲😵‍💫#RoadToBetter #ComebackKid #GirlsWhoLift #IAMNOBULL.” According to the Mayo Clinic, running has quite an impact on your overall health. “You may feel tired when you first start regular aerobic exercise. But over the long term, you'll enjoy increased stamina and reduced fatigue. You can also gain increased heart and lung fitness and bone and muscle strength over time.”

5. She does muscle up drills

She takes pull ups to the next level. “Introducing you to some of my favorite bar muscle up drills 👋🏼 Give these a go if you want to get your first BMU, get rid of the “chicken-wing” turnover, increase the efficiency of your swing, & hit larger sets under fatigue,” she said on an Instagram video of her working out.

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

She Changed Her Hair Color

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
