Coronation Street Star Suranne Jones In Workout Gear Shares Sweaty Selfie

British actress Suranne Jones is showing off her wellness warrior credentials with a rare workout selfie. The Gentleman Jack star, 45, shared a picture of herself wearing a pink hat and gray tank top, with the words “The best things in life make you sweaty” on it. “The sun, workouts…. Erm.. perimenopause???” she jokingly captioned the post. “I need this shirt,” a fan commented. Jones has worked in the public eye for decades—here’s how she stays fit, focused, and happy.

1. Strength Training

Jones focuses on strength training in her 40s. “At home, I have a good routine,” she told The Telegraph. “We have a small gym, which we built in our garden in a little shed. I get up, take the dogs for a walk and walk my son to school, which is a 40-minute round trip. Then I go down to the gym and do some weights because at my age, weights are important.”

2. Vegetarian Diet

Jones enjoys a vegetarian diet. “I’ll have eggs for breakfast – an omelet – and some kind of salad or soup for lunch and maybe a homemade curry in the evening or salmon and pasta – I don’t eat meat,” she told The Telegraph. “When I’m working all that is harder to do. I’ll usually be away for four months, working 14-hour days, including 10 hours on set. By the end, you’re absolutely knackered.”

3. Yoga and Meditation

Jones tries to meditate every day. “I’ve always been into alternative care, whether that be therapy, yoga, movement, mediations and self care,” she told Symprove. “I’ve read over the years about the alignment with the gut and the mind and how the body feels. I suffer with anxiety so that is really important to me.”

4. Gut Health

Jones is mindful of her gut health. “We’ve always known we don’t feel well if we eat badly – now there’s a language for it and doctors are talking about gut health and microbiome,” she told The Telegraph. “Now we’re being told to drink kefir or kombucha, all really helpful stuff, but there are times when you’re working away, or you’re tired and you just haven’t done it. Three months ago, I started taking Symprove in the morning, a water-based formula of live bacteria.”

5. Part of the Job

Jones struggles with confidence from time to time. “You need to be confident to enjoy yourself on a night out,” she told The Guardian. “Remember that everybody isn't looking at you and what you're wearing. Even if you have a big hole in your tights, people are more interested in the conversation or themselves. I am still quite self-conscious at work events, though, where everyone actually is looking at what you're wearing and taking your picture. It can be a bit daunting, but I remind myself that it's all part of the job.”

Saffron Barker is taking selfies in her swimsuit. The Strictly star shows off her incredible figure in a bathing suit while cruising in the ocean. “A week on a ship,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the 23-year-old beauty keep herself fit and healthy? Celebwell rounded up some of her top health habits.

1. She Does Calisthenics

Saffron is a big fan of calisthenics, “which is almost like street gymnastics, but it's all lifting your own bodyweight. It's my new passion, I'm genuinely obsessed with it and it requires a lot of strength,” she told Closer. “With callisthenics, I have a trainer and there isn't really a workout plan I follow as everyone moves at their own pace. Being able to lift your own body weight is one of the hardest things ever. Even if you could lift that weight in the gym, to be able to lift your body strength is just ridiculously hard.”

2. She Walks and Runs

Saffron does still get her cardio in. “My workouts still include walking and running,” she added.

3. Her Diet Is Healthy

A healthy diet fuels her for fitness. “I have porridge most mornings and I'm obsessed with peanut butter, I'm constantly adding it to things. Another thing I like to eat in the morning is fruit, crumpets and peanut butter,” Saffron told Closer. “I eat a lot of chicken, I'm always making healthy fajitas or lots of veg with chicken wraps. I also am obsessed with the Richmond Meat-Free Sausages, they are the best thing ever and they taste so good, I like making my own fajita-style meal with the sausages as well.”

4. She Takes Baths

Saffron indulges in self-care. “For me, it's about having time where I can completely switch off. I love having a bath, I honestly have a bath most days. I love going for dog walks with my mum, that's something I pretty much do every day. I also love listening to podcasts. I love Katie Piper's podcast, Extraordinary People and Steven Bartlett's, The Diary of a CEO,” she added.

5. She Has Lots of Protein

“I have a lot of protein because I'm trying to build muscle. I love Bulk for protein powder, they have so many amazing flavours. Honestly, the caramel salted flavour is the best thing ever. I have a lot of protein shakes and it sounds a bit weird, but I have Coco Pops and protein powder as a pre-gym snack. A lot of bodybuilders and people training for bikini competitions do this and it tastes so good,” Saffron told Closer.

6. She Works Out for the Right Reasons

Saffron exercises for the right reasons. She said she “used to go to the gym because I wanted to change my body and look amazing, whereas I didn't really care about feeling amazing. Now I go to the gym for a completely different reason and I have longer fitness goals I want to achieve. For me, it's all about having that end goal rather than just worrying about my body image.”

Cora Jade is giving fans a glimpse of her latest photoshoot in her swimsuit. The WWE wrestler shows off her amazingly chiseled physique in one of her latest social media posts, modeling a bathing suit in a behind-the-scenes video. “Sneak peek,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Cora Jade 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. She Trains on the Weekends

Cora doesn’t use the weekends as an excuse to slack off on fitness. During an appearance on The Mark Moses Show he revealed her trainer would make her do “these Sunday training cardio days he would call them. It was so much conditioning, it would be so much, and at the time it was so exhausting, but I think that really prepared me for the tryout because he kind of pushed us as much as we could be pushed then,” she said.

2. She Struggles to Gain Weight

Core doesn’t work out to lose weight but to gain it. “8 pounds up,” she tweeted. “As someone who struggles to gain weight, this is an accomplishment for me. Give me all the gains!”

3. She Fuels Up with Protein Shakes

Cora is a big fan of preworkout shakes and protein shakes. “Today’s workout fueled by @redcon1,” she captioned a photo of herself holding her workout fuel.

4. She Runs

Cora also goes for runs. “I love training with @raquelwwe from 5am til sunset 🥲,” she captioned a photo of one of her runs. 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.

5. She Fights

As part of Cora’s WWE training she boxes and kickboxes. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

Shaughna Phillips is sharing a body positive message – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island star shows off her gorgeous figure while opening up to her fans. “I’ve been meaning to post this for aaaagesssss, and I just kept chickening out which sounds ridiculous but it’s the truth,” she wrote. “This is not easy for me, it’s hard to just be yourself when social media can be SO cruel at times. Full disclosure, I’m not in the place I want to be physically, I have ‘baby weight’ to lose plus a bit more lol, but I’m not going to let my intrusive thoughts about how I look get in the way of me living my life,” she continued. “I really want to be the best role model I can be for Lucia, and I’m so determined that she won’t grow up with the same warped view on body image as I did, and that’s starts with me. I know it’s a bit late for New Year’s resolutions, but I’m sure we all have room for one more 🙋🏼‍♀️ Here’s to getting real in 2024, who wants to join me?” How does the reality star approach health and wellness? Celebwell has the details on her lifestyle habits.

1. She Took Drastic Measures to Slim Down for Love Island

Shaughna went to drastic measures to lose weight for the show, sharing about it in a 17-minute video on her YouTube channel. She wouldn’t allow herself to eat treats over the 2019 Christmas period and asked her colleague to "shame" her every time she tried to. “I think for me and the series that I was in, we had it the hardest... because the casting process was over Christmas,” she said. “Everyone and anyone indulges, but because we knew we were potentially going into the villa, I for one did not have one Quality Street that whole Christmas season... Now, that was a bad Christmas.”

2. She Worked Out 90 Minutes Every Night

She went to the gym for 90 minutes every evening and her routine was “very, very strict,” she said. “I would do 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill very fast at a high incline. 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.”

3. Working Out Makes Her Feel Better

What motivates her to stay in shape? “Honestly? I become an anxious mess if I don't work out. It sounds cliche, and everyone always says, ‘Oh when you work out you feel better,’ but it’s actually true,” she told Bustle.

4. She Launched a Nutrition Plan

Shaughna launched her own fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle plan, Be You With Shaughna. “No before and after shots. No guaranteed ‘drop a dress size’ promises. No get fit quick plan,” she writes. “What my plan does include? Dedicated work to improve your mental health. Workouts that go at your pace. Nutritional advice aimed at encouraging your relationship with food, and not how to restrict your food.”

5. She’s an “Early Bird”

“I've always been an early bird. Ever since I was little, I've just always been up literally before the sun,” Shaughna told Bustle. “I don't like being rushed in the morning, so although I could probably easily get another hour in bed, I would rather just get up and start waking up gradually. These days, my normal morning routine starts at 6 a.m. I get up, make my breakfast, and have a cup of coffee, or tea, depending on my mood. I watch a little bit of TV before I head to workout at 8:30 a.m. I like to get it done and dusted because that way it means nothing like social media can impact my workout.”

6. She Takes Baths

“I'm definitely a bath girl. To the point where I miss having them in the summer because the last thing you want is to increase your body temperature,” Shaughna told Bustle. “When I used to go to the gym after work, in the days before Love Island, I remember the moments when I would see a text from my mum saying, ‘Your bath is running’ and it would literally feel like I’d won the lottery. Thinking about my bath is one thing I used to do to get me through the gym. Feeling that post-workout ache and being in the bath. There is nothing better! I've got to have a lot of bubbles, not bath salts – I can just feel the grains and it makes me feel like the water is dirty. Lots of candles. I like to have my hair up, out of my face, because I get very hot and bothered.”

Lily James has become a household name, dazzling audiences with her performances in blockbuster hits like Disney’s live-action Cinderella and the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, where she portrayed Pamela Anderson with incredible finesse. Whether she’s singing her heart out in Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again or taking on more intense roles in films like The Iron Claw, James always leaves a lasting impression. Recently, she gave fans a glimpse of her downtime by sharing a cozy selfie in a black baseball cap on her Instagram story. But beyond the glitz and glamour, James is dedicated to staying fit and radiant. Here’s a look at how she maintains her health and wellness, both on and off the screen.

1. She Worked With A Trainer

James shared how she got in shape for Pam & Tommy with Entertainment Weekly. She says that she worked with a personal trainer. "I worked with this amazing trainer, Matt Bevan, who worked with Daisy Ridley as well. He worked me so hard and I got really fit. I lost a tonne of weight. I've put it all back on again though, unfortunately. But I felt really athletic, which I hadn't done for a long time and there was great confidence that came from that. I feel less self-conscious on a beach now. It was really wonderful to feel like that, to feel so in my own body. It was really tough though, but it was rewarding."

2. She Boxes

James also tells Entertainment Weekly that she likes to box to keep herself in shape. “I did boxing with a really cool guy in LA, which I love too, being physically strong like I could literally beat someone up.” Boxing has a lot of health benefits. “Boxing combines punching drills and conditioning exercises that can improve your heart health, strength, endurance, balance and coordination,” Physical therapist James Edwards, DPT, said to The Cleveland Clinic. “It can also reduce stress, anxiety and depression and improve your confidence and overall well-being.”

3. She Works Out In The Morning

James shared some of her workout tips with Cosmopolitan. She says that she makes sure to work out in the mornings. "I think it's probably best to work out in the morning to get it out of the way. My ultimate top tip is to drag yourself, even if you have to roll yourself out of your bed and into a sit-up – it's really not that bad once you start. Just be like 'you can do it' and when you get to the point of breaking, that's when you get fitter. You have to keep a positive mind, you need to push through the pain."

4. She Does Sit-Ups

James tells Cosmopolitan that she likes to do sit-ups to stay in shape. She says that she did them while on the set of Fast Girls. "I got really obsessed with sit-ups! Whenever the Director shouted 'cut!' I was there on the floor pounding them out", she recalled. "We had to do like 600 different types of sit-ups a day so my stomach changed the most, you just end up looking healthier and stronger."

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

James has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her tips with Allure. "I always cleanse, tone, and moisturize — no matter how late it is or how much I've had to drink. It's really good, particularly in England, to wash with cold water [because] my skin is quite dry. I use this amazing Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum to keep the liquid in my skin."
