Christmas Abbott in Two-Piece Workout Gear Preaches "Self-Love"

1. Love Island Training

Phillips went on a very strict health and fitness regimen before going on Love Island, working out for 90 minutes a day. “I would do 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill very fast at a high incline,” she told Women’s Health. “I would do a few sets on the lat pulldown machine... and then I used to do a quick circuit on the mats. I used to use like free weights and stuff and that would literally be it every single day.”

2. Holistic Health

Phillips works out to protect her mental health as well as her physical health and appearance. “As I've gotten older, I've realized that separating being healthy from your body image, and how you ‘think you should look’, is the true gamechanger,” she told Bustle. “I feel like a lot of us just subconsciously go to the gym because we think we need to look a certain way. But there are so many other benefits; looks should be the lowest thing on your list of reasons to go to the gym… Don't get me wrong, the health benefits and all of that are absolutely amazing. But for me personally, it is all about the effect physical activity has on mental health.”

3. Morning Workouts

Phillips works out first thing in the morning before the work day starts. “I can tell you what I hate doing and that’s squats,” she told Bustle. “But I really like the feeling of lifting weights and boxing. It almost doesn't feel like you're working out because you're learning something new. I read somewhere that music also gives you the same sort of endorphins as exercise does. I can't think of anything worse than working out and having rubbish music. Or worse: no music at all. I need to listen to angry music, like DMX. Or if I'm going on holiday, then I’ll listen to happy vibe music.”

4. Plans For the Future

Phillips wants to move in a different direction in the future. “I definitely want to maybe get into some kind of politics after the show,” she told Glamour. “I just like helping people and I want to do as much as I can to help people. For me, it’s not really about how much a job pays you, because it’s about helping people. I know that’s cliché and embarrassing, but the job I was in before in the fire safety team, the job previous to that was more money, so... I got a better feeling out of the fire safety team. For me, it’s all about helping people."

5. Embracing Her Physique

Phillips wishes she hadn’t been so hard on herself in the past. “I was aware that I was definitely the biggest girl in there [the villa] but watching old episodes back now, I'm like ‘you looked fab!’” she told Women’s Health. “But that is just proof that you're never happy with what you've got, so you might as well just be happy with what you've got. I was self-conscious but I had no reason to be.”

Chrissy Teigen is opening up about her fear and mental health struggles. In a new social media post, the model shows off her flat abs in exercise clothes while doing a log crossing. In the post she reveals that she did the same thing “a few years ago” when she was “struggling mentally” and it was “incredibly hard then.” Now, even thought she is in a better place, she thought she “could make the pain go away by relaxing my body, breathing and just taking in and enjoying what I was doing. But plot twist!! It was just as hard,” she writes. “I thought that since I have seen times that were so dark since the last time I did this, that I would be fearless on this god damn thing. But I’m still so scared. Then I realized I now live my whole life so scared. I don’t enjoy much outside my family, my few friends, television and crafts. I feel like a very shrunken version of myself. And I know I am meant to be big. I’m really scared of letting you guys down and I find myself fighting with myself all day in my brain with things I want to say, things I want to explain, but I’m just so fearful. I miss so many parts of myself and I hope one day I can shed some fear and accept that I will never be perfect for you guys and that is okay!! But for now I will continue to work on it all and try to balance my brain with rational thoughts, and try to be kind to myself and my body and mind.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Exercise Class

Chrissy recently returned to group fitness. “So proud of the us!!” she wrote on one of her Instagram Stories. “I haven’t done a workout class in years because I am embarrassed 😬,” she admitted. “And I really haven’t worked out for 😬😬😬:” she added, using the “grimacing” emoji.

2. No Dieting

Chrissy tries not to diet. "I've lived a whole life. I've spent way too many years counting calories, scheduling way too many workouts and trying to figure out what my term for wellness was for myself. I've been trying to figure that out for so so long," she told People. In another interview she told the publication that she eats healthy most of the time, though doesn't always share photos of herself “at the gym or making green juice,” she said. “So I think people think that I don’t do that. But if I post me eating Taco Bell, I probably had a fantastic breakfast and lunch, or I’ve been good that entire week!”

3. Pilates

Chrissy loves Speir Pilates. “There’s no better motivation than sweating it out with your friends! 🔥,” the studio captioned a photo of a group workout session with Chrissy. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

4. No Scales

Chrissy isn’t a fan of the scale. "Since I was 20 years old, I had this weight in my mind that I am, or that I'm supposed to be. I've been so used to that number for 10 years now. And then I started realizing it was a swimsuit-model weight. There's a very big difference between wanting to be that kind of fit and wanting to be happy-fit,” she told Women's Health.

5. Green Juice

Chrissy gets a lot of nutrients from juice. "I love green juices—the ones that include lots of actual greens and don't include too much apple," she told Shape. "Because those are just meant to be yummy and we all know things that are too yummy aren't the best for us unfortunately."

Jennifer Pedranti is sharing a tricep workout – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the Real Housewives of Orange County star shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout set while sweating with a friend. “I’m truly grateful for this powerful woman in my life! Today I’m giving props to @amandabarelli_nutrition 🩷Women who LIFT EACH OTHER UP are the REAL power players!” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Hot Yoga

Jennifer gets her zen on. “I spend most of my days in a hot yoga studio,” she says in a video for Bravo. “If life has you feeling a little upside down, come get on your yoga mat with me!” she captioned a post.

2. Workout Classes

Jennifer teaches workout classes. “Good Morning ☀️You guys have been asking!!! Here is your chance to come give it a try! Three of my favorite workouts! The WARM 65 min class is amazing for my mental clarity and still lovingly gives my physical body a challenge. SHRED EXPRESS!!! Let’s GOOOOOO we are cranking up the 🎶 and getting it done! Arms, butt, abs, squats, push-ups… you name it we’re hitting it! 💪🏻 65 min HOT sequence challenges me mentally and physically- there is no better DETOX than this,” she captioned a post.

3. Workout Buddies

Jennifer is a fan of the workout buddy system. One of her go-tos? Tamara Judge, her RHOC costar. “If your not working out with us @cutfitoc .... my question is WHY NOT‽! Thank you @eddiejudge for pushing us! Love our workouts together @tamrajudge all the laughs make it less painful 😜Go get your FLEX FRIDAY💪🏻,” she captioned a post.

4. Self-Love and Acceptance

Jennifer recently shared a message encouraging self-love and acceptance. “On track.. off track.. on track.. off track.. off track.. off.. off.. Off.. Where the heck is the TRACK??‽!! Anyone else struggle with this? I remember when this pic was taken I was so unhappy with it. I “needed” more, to do better than this. Gosh, if only we could love ourselves every step of our journeys. Today I decided I’m posting it because I’m proud of “her..” That was a very crazy time in my life. A time of growth for me, and I’m grateful for it. I’m fine with where I was then, and I’m still proud of where I am today. Fitness is a journey.. there are highs and lows and everything in between. ———NEVER GIVE UP——-,” she captioned the post.

5. Cycling

Jennifer enjoys riding bikes. Here she is going for a ride with friends. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Actress Tracee Ellis Ross is showing followers exactly how she gets her incredibly toned and strong physique. The Blackish star shared a video of herself doing a leg and glutes workout, wearing purple leggings and a lilac crop top over a sports bra. “One more before 2024,” she captioned the post. Ross is 51 and seems to be aging in reverse—here’s what her diet, exercise, and wellness regimen looks like.

1. Lemon Water

Ross starts her day with supplements and lemon water. “This is going to sound strange but I use my tongue scraper before I drink any water or eat,” she told Vogue. “Then I like to have a glass of lemon water and take my supplements. I will also usually go and work out, and beforehand will try and eat something – you’re supposed to eat a little sugar, like apple sauce or something, and then take a protein shake after. I’m not a coffee drinker, so I don’t have a major morning routine, nor do I have kids or a dog right now – so it’s all about me.”

2. Tracy Anderson Method

Ross is a long-time devotee of the Tracy Anderson Method. “I am still a Tracy Anderson fiend – what I love about Tracy Anderson is the studio and the absolutely insane heat,” she told Vogue. “It’s like 97 degrees, so it’s like a sweat box. The music is so loud, and it’s the best environment because you can’t think. You’re just in your body and it’s really hard but what I love about it is you feel so beautiful, sexy, long and strong – and that’s all the things I want to feel. You feel connected to your body – you can’t do Tracy Anderson if you don’t have the mind-body connection. During the pandemic, I also started going regularly to Rise Movement, which is a private gym – we do weight training. They use a lot of movement that reminds me of what you used to do when you were a kid; it’s using your own body. We push a sled, throw a ball, and things like that, rather than using gym equipment. It’s functional movement. I love that.”

3. Self-Love and Appreciation

Ross has come to better appreciate her body and her looks with each year. “Growing up? I was pretty contentious. Because of that, I have worked very hard to hold a different kind of space in my relationship with my body,” she told Glamour UK. “I was an athlete growing up. I am very conscious aesthetically. I modeled all through high school and so I constantly was trying to look skinny and I look back and I'm probably too skinny. And I’m like, ‘what were you thinking? What is happening?’ And I know what it took. I did not eat a lot and I love food. I don't suggest that at all. I'm now very supportive of my body. I really do my best to not let that self-talk that happens in this dangerous neighborhood of our minds full of compare and despair take over.”

4. Cooking With Love

Cooking is Ross’s love language. “I love cooking for my family — my siblings, my mom,” she told PEOPLE. “I love cooking for myself, too. One of the ways that I actively love myself is by cooking. I love grilling salmon, steak, all those things. I’m a big salad maker. I love crushing Brazilian nuts and putting them over everything — quinoa dishes. Putting it over a salad instead of putting meat on it.”

5. Morning Baths and Meditation

Ross loves to start her day with a gentle bath. “I meditate. I haven’t been as diligent recently because the pandemic messed with my routine, but I am very much one of those people,” she told Vogue. “I also do gyrotonics and gyrokinesis – it’s sort of a connection to the body. I really believe that staying connected to my body is where I gain a sense of wholeness for myself. My biggest [self-care ritual] is a bath – I love them. I will take a bath at 5.30 in the morning, before work. I put magnesium flakes in because I work out so much. A really hot bath is a great gentle start to the day, and I also do this thing where I stand up in the bath and do a full cold rinse with the shower. It’s really good for you.”
