Connie Ferguson in Workout Gear Boxes as a "Stress Buster"

British TV presenter Davina McCall is 56 and in the best shape of her life—thanks to some super fun fitness challenges she shares online. McCall posted a video of herself wearing two-piece burgundy workout gear, doing a mat workout with dumbbells. “Okay, that was the third session of a stronger you challenge on @ownyourgoalsdavina I have to say I’m really enjoying this challenge. It’s really highlighted a training need. I totally have to ramp up my strength training but it is amazing how after three sessions I’m already feeling the benefits. At my age it’s scary how fast muscle disappears 😱 @richcallender ALWAYS SUCH A PLEASURE,” she captioned the post. Here’s what McCall’s very effective diet, exercise, and wellness routine looks like.

1. Pilates and Strength Training

McCall put on weight after giving up smoking, and decided to join a gym. She then used a personal trainer to up her fitness game. “For me, fitness is about doing a bit of everything,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I do some yoga, Pilates, strength training, bodyweight training, cardio, one or two runs a week, and maybe a spin class. It’s about having variety all the time, never doing the same workout, and keeping things fun. Ideally, I train three or four times a week, usually following one of my little fitness challenges that run on Own Your Goals. When I follow a challenge, it keeps me motivated to keep going back.”

2. Intermittent Fasting

McCall swears by intermittent fasting, rarely eating after 8 p.m. “Until recently, I never ate protein for breakfast,” she told Women’s Fitness. “Going back five or six years ago, I was a crumpet, honey and butter person, but I’ve learnt more and more about nutrition over the years, and I don’t want to start my day with sugar and carbs anymore. These days, I intermittent fast, which means I often don’t eat until lunchtime. But having a protein shake is perfect for breaking my fast around 10.30am if I need something before 1pm.”

McCall wears workout gear during the week so she is always ready for a workout. "On a weekday, I start the day in some sort of Lycra, if I'm not working,” she told Get the Gloss. “I just put on a workout outfit because it means that I'm always ready. If I start my day in civvies I am not going to work out, it’s never going to happen. If I'm in my workout gear and it gets three o'clock in the afternoon, I think, come on, back on! My Lycra is like my work clothes so I spend money on Lycra like other people would spend money on a suit for work. My workout stuff is Lululemon or Sweaty Betty.”

4. Mental Health Workouts

McCall loves the physical benefits of regular exercise, but the mental benefits have been amazing too. “I benefit so much from exercise as it helps my mental health,” she told Women’s Fitness. “And sometimes, that will be my one motivator to train. I’d probably say I don’t train for my body – I train for my brain. The fact that exercise will give me shoulders or great calf muscles is a wonderful byproduct of what it does for my mental health, for sure. I use my own bodyweight a lot in training. With the changes happening in my body, I need to do strength training for my bones, but also especially for my muscle tone, because muscle tone is the thing that’s actually really hard to keep hold of. It doesn’t matter how saggy or crepey your skin gets: if you’ve got nice muscle tone underneath it, you’ll still look great.”

5. Walking the Dog

McCall walks her dog every day. "Me and the dog, Bo, are best friends,” she told Get the Gloss. “I used to do uphill runs with Bo, although I really have to stop running with her now. She's quite ancient. What I'll do now is walk her at eight a.m., get back to the house at nine then go on a half an hour run after I get back from the walk because she just can't hack it, bless her."

1. Morning Workouts

Tiesi starts her day with an early-morning workout. “I work out every morning at 6:00 am. That’s my number one thing for my mental health and, well, for everything,” she told Grazia. “At night I try to do my self-care things like an under-eye mask and hair mask. I have my glass of wine, my quiet time and my bath. Those are my main forms of self-care.”

2. She Loves To Box

Tiesi is a huge fan of boxing-based workouts. “I love boxing,” she told Grazia. “I think I just like to hit things [laughs]. It helps me de-stress. But I honestly love all workouts, it’s such a stress reliever and you get the endorphins and a healthy release. It’s been a big thing that, honestly, has saved me throughout my life as it really centers you and re-sets your body and mind.”

3. Making Time For Working Out

Tiesi has a son with Nick Cannon, and says she now understands how hard it is to find time for yourself as a mother. "People used to say all the time, 'I'm too busy to work out.' And I was like, 'No one's ever too busy to work out.' But now, I truly grasp it," she told OK!. "It's something I really want to help with because it really is difficult to find the motivation to get there and nonetheless know what to do."

4. Low Carb, High Protein Diet

Tiesi says her diet is “boring and plain” for the most part. “I get up in the morning and have my pre-workout, and then I come back and have my protein shake, oatmeal and coffee,” she told Grazia. “My snack is usually a bar or some grapefruit, and lunch is something like a turkey burger and vegetables, or I like to make breakfast tacos. I try to have at least half of an avocado too. My lunch is a lot of protein and is heavier on carbs, especially after a workout. Dinner is no carbs and more about protein and veggies. That’s basically it! I don’t eat after nine if I can help it.”

5. Family Workouts

Tiesi encourages her son to take part in her workouts. "It's very cute,” she told OK!. “He's in there and he's trying to copy everything I'm doing. I actually just got him a baby spin bike and some little baby weights. He loves it. He copies everything I do and I just think it's amazing because as he gets older, it's going to be something that he's interested in and he's seen me do and something that he will instill in his life. It's going to just be natural."

Jurnee Smollett is getting her butt kicked by celebrity trainer Jeanette Jenkins. In a new video shared by the personal-trainer-to-the-stars, the 37-year-old Lovecraft Country star shows off her amazingly fit figure in a sports bra and leggings while working out. “Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit. ❤️Here’s some workout motivation! Training the beautiful, strong & talented @jurneesmollett for her next role & she will be kicking some ass!” Jenkins captioned the video with her followers. How does Smollett approach health and fitness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits and the exact workouts responsible for her body.

Jurnee sets herself up for exercise success. “If I have a jump rope and a resistance band, I can work out anywhere," she says. "Even without a jump rope. If you do 200 jumping jacks, then drop and do some crunches, and then do some squats, you’re good,” she told Self.

2. Healthy Sleep Habits

While it can be difficult for Jurnee to stick to a sleep schedule she has developed healthy habits to help. “I don’t know if it was the content or what, but it’s hard to come home and just turn it off and sleep,” she told Self. “I found myself turning on white noise to try to fall asleep and just making sure the room was pitch black.”

3. Baths

Jurnee loves taking baths with Dead Sea salts from Whole Foods in aromatherapy scents like lavender. “One thing I would advise: never soak in anything with mint because it stings in places.,” she saod. “I made that mistake one time. It was not fun.” She also lights candles and listens to music.

4. A Variety of Exercises

Jurnee mixes up her workouts, and incorporates yoga, plyometrics, and dance classes into her more traditional workout regime.

5. Online Workouts

Jurnee told Glamour that she also does Jenkins’ online workouts. “I do all her workouts because I always feel thoroughly worn down afterward, which is a feeling I like right now,” she said.

6. Strength Training and Boxing

Jurnee currently trains with Jenkins, who kicks her butt. The two do interval training, using exercise bands, heavy weights, and bodyweight. They also do boxing and kickboxing. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

Carrie Underwood is encouraging fans and social media followers to share their fitness and wellness stories with her in response to her New York Times bestselling book. Underwood, 40, shared a great picture of herself wearing patterned leggings and a gray tank top, weight training at the gym. “I love hearing your fitness and wellness stories you guys continue to share in response to my first book, FIND YOUR PATH, and reading about your journeys to finding your own path. We got this! 💪🏻,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Underwood’s training routine looks like, according to the singer and her trainer.

1. Active Lifestyle

Underwood has made wellness an everyday part of her lifestyle—it’s more than just going to the gym. "Health and fitness is not just a thing I do, it's a part of my life," she told Shop TODAY. "And I feel like there are so many things that hinge on me taking care of myself. "I always tell people, if you don't work out or you've never worked out, going for a walk is a great way to get moving. My kids are very active, they love to play outside. So, if they are already playing outside, and I'm around, instead of sitting on a bench, watching them play, it's easy to walk around the area that they're playing in. Or, you can do some step-ups or dips on a bench."

2. Resistance Bands

Underwood usually travels with resistance bands in her suitcase to fit a workout in anywhere,” she told Shop TODAY. "Those things are just easy to have in your suitcase, and it's saved me on many occasions. If you do find yourself in a space that doesn't have the best gym or it's super crowded, I could just stay in my room and feel like I got a good workout in."

3. Leg Workouts

Underwood’s trainer Eve Overland says the singer gives 100 percent to every workout. Overland puts Underwood through deadlifts, rows and presses, and squats. "To have legs like Carrie, be consistent and if you don't love lifting then we got to take it back," she told E! News. "What can you do sustainably? Set attainable goals. If you can only work out twice a week, great. Do it. Anything is better than nothing. Go for a walk. If that's all you can get in the day, that means everything. Whatever your body has to offer and whatever time you have, just get it in and your body will thank you. Find something that you like to do and stick with it."

4. Face Oils

Underwood loves using face oils in lieu of a whole skincare routine. "I'm terrible at regimens and stuff like that," she told Shop TODAY. "Every once in a while, like once a year I maybe get to go get a facial or consult somebody and I'm like, 'what is the least amount of things that I can do?' But I also can't carry a bunch of junk around with me, there's just no room for it in my bag.”

5. Running For Headspace

Underwood always goes for a run after her workouts to clear her head—although weight training is one of the most important parts of her workouts. "She also needs to think about preparing herself to perform," Overland told E! News. "So jogging, it's waking up her lungs and opening up her airwaves to say, 'Hey lungs, you gotta work later!'"
