Deonna Purrazzo is enjoying a post-workout rest – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the professional wrestler shows off her amazing body on the bench after exercising. She shared the image via her Instagram Stories. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Gratitude

Deonna focuses on the positives in life. "This has quite possibly been the busiest month I've ever had… and one of the most rewarding. My smile is a true reflection of how I'm feeling. Grateful," she captioned a post.

2. Hiking

Deonna enjoys hiking. “There’s a lot I could say about the Grand Canyon, but it all feels too deep. In all seriousness, this trip was absolutely breathtaking. Looking out and seeing all those colors was like a dream,” she captioned a post. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

3. Strength Training

To keep her body in fighting form, Deonna does a lot of strength training workouts. She once shared a workout on X, squatting with incredibly heavy weights. She wrote, “my heaviest this particular day was 215lb x 4 reps.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

4. Self-Love

Deonna is all about self-love and fighting back against bullies. "Twitter saw this CLAP-BACK first 👏👏👏 I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don't deserve the attention. But, I'll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say."

5. Walking

Sundays are for walking her dog on the beach. Deonna makes sure to move, even on rest days. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Vanessa Hudgens hasn't been shy about sharing the things she loves on social media: her friends, her music, and now, Cali Water, a brand she's backing, which comes in flavors like Organic Wild Prickly Pear and Organic Wild Prickly Pear with Ginger and Lime. Today, the 32-year-old posted a photo of her in a bikini, holding a bottle to her lips. How does the star stay so fit given that she's so busy? Partly thanks to workouts at the Dogpound training center and with Thrive With Julia. Read on to see which exercises Vanessa Hudgens does there to stay in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. She Loves to Workout

One of the key ways Vanessa stays in sensational shape is by working out daily. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade about her workouts. She tries to get her workouts in as soon after waking up as possible. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

2. She Did Sumo Squats with a Kettlebell

Vanessa started off her mini workout video, which was first shared by her trainer in May, by perfectly executing sumo squats with a kettlebell. The compound exercise is incredibly effective, forcing a variety of muscles -- including glutes, quadriceps, calves -- to workout together. Clearly she was having some fun with her fitness routine, as she playfully stuck out her tongue for the camera.

3. She Did a Side Squat with Resistance Band and Medicine Ball

In another compound exercise, Hudgens held a medicine ball while she executed a slide squat, a move made extra hard with the addition of a resistance band around her ankles.

4. She Did a Reverse Lunge to High Knee with Dumbbells

Next up, a reverse lunge to high knee with dumbbells. Another compound move, this exercise works everything to the legs and butt to abs. For the workout video, see here:

5. Vanessa Also Does a Bunch of Other Workouts

In addition to weight and strength training, Vanessa stays in shape with lots of other workouts. Pilates, Soul Cycle, hot yoga, and strength training are a few of her favorite workouts—and sometimes she even does multiple workouts a day. “Some days when I have the time, I love doing Pilates first and then going over to Soul Cycle. I love a double up!” she told Parade. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up. I’ve been going to this Pilates studio called WundaBar for years and it’s just a great deep muscle-training workout. It’s not super high intensity but I always feel it the next day.”

Powerlifter Deana D'Andrea in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Thank You"

Deana D’Andrea, a powerhouse in the world of powerlifting, continually inspires her followers with impressive workout clips on Instagram. Recently, she shared highlights from a competition, expressing gratitude by captioning, “Thank you @momentsinpower for your effort and dedication to capturing so many special moments and emotions throughout the meet day!” D’Andrea’s training sessions reveal her strength and dedication to the sport and emphasize her passion for pushing boundaries through intense lifting routines.

1. She Lifts Weights

Weightlifting is the main way D’Andrea stays in shape. According to ACE Fitness, weight lifting has a lot of benefits. “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

2. She Does Squats

D’Andrea is seen doing squats in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, “A little of this and a little of that 🙃 one week closer to meet day!” The Cleveland Clinic states that squats are very beneficial. “Squats are integral to athletic training programs, enhancing speed, agility, strength and power across various sports disciplines,” says sports and exercise medicine physician Matthew Kampert, DO. “Squats primarily target the muscles in the thighs, hips and buttocks, leading to enhanced stability, balance and overall lower body strength.”

3. She Does Deadlifts

Deana D'Andrea.2Deana D'Andrea/Instagram

In the previous Instagram video, D’Andrea is seen doing deadlifts. ACE Fitness states that deadlifts are very beneficial. “One significant benefit of the RDL is that it teaches clients how to lift from the hips instead of using the lower back. The base move of the RDL is the standing hip hinge, which is an important component of learning how to squat correctly. The first move during the lowering phase of the squat should be the hips moving back in a flexed position. Back pain is often associated with not using the hips properly when squatting or bending over to pick an object up off of the ground. Teaching clients how to lift safely in the gym means they may reduce their risk of injury when lifting heavy things in their daily lives.”

4. She Uses Bars

D’Andrea uses a lot of equipment when she works out. One thing she uses is bars. D’Andrea posted this photo of herself with her new bars on Instagram. She captioned it, “New @sportkraftusa squat and bench bars are in!! 😍 and they’re PINK! 😎 can’t wait to put these bad boys to use!!”

5. She Rides Horses

In addition to powerlifting, Deana D'Andrea spends time horseback riding, an activity that provides a range of health benefits. Riding works core muscles, as riders constantly engage their abs, lower back, and pelvic muscles to maintain balance and posture on the horse. It also strengthens the legs and improves flexibility in the hips, glutes, and thighs. According to the British Horse Society, riding can burn up to 600 calories per hour, offering an effective cardiovascular workout. Horseback riding also boosts mental health by reducing stress, enhancing mood, and building confidence as riders develop a bond with the horse and navigate new skills. For D’Andrea, it’s yet another way to combine strength and wellness with her fitness lifestyle.

Vanessa Hudgens is getting a Pilates session in at the Alo Studio – and showing off her baby bump. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her belly in a crop top and leggings post-workout. “Lil Pilates + Laura Quinn = Win win,” she captioned the Instagram Stories image. Vanessa is a longtime Pilates devotee. Here is everything you need to know about her Pilates workouts.

1. Vanessa Is an Athlete

Nonna Gleyzer, one of the High School Musical star’s Pilates trainers, recently told us that “It’s extremely easy to work with Vanessa, because she is by far one of the most coordinated, focused, and very in tune with her body people. She is also very flexible and has amazing control. It’s like working with a dancer and an athlete at the same time,” she says. “She is very active and does different workouts all the time. She just loves to move her body.”

2. Leg Day Workout

“We usually start with the foot workout on the reformer and training the legs in every dimension possible,” says Gleyzer about Vanessa’s leg day workouts. “The thighs contain several muscles. The quadriceps and hamstrings help us bend and extend the hips and knees. The adductors move the legs inward toward each other. The pectineus and sartorius let you flex and rotate the thighs at the hip.”

3. Ab Day Workout

On ab day, Vanessa does “lots of abs with the pilates ball as well as side ups on the Pilates spine corrector. This allows her to get deeper into the muscles while protecting the back,” she says.

4. Upper Body Workout Day

Vanessa’s upper body workouts are done on the Pilates Cadillac, “where we use the roll-down bar to arm and do lots of moves that involve stretching and control,” she says.

5. Vanessa “Knows Her Body Well”

Overall, Gleyzer maintains Vanessa is a great client to train. “Working with Vanessa is incredible and so easy as she knows her body so well and loves to see results,” she says.

6. She Does 3 to 4 Pilates Sessions Per Week

Vanessa.HudgensVanessa Hudgens/Instagram

Vanessa trains with Nonna at her Body By Nonna studio three to four times a week. “When it comes to pilates and when we work together, we see each other 3 to 4 times per week,” she reveals. During the sessions they work the whole body, but also focus on a single group of muscles.

Betty Pariso, a renowned fitness expert and bodybuilder, has cultivated a dedicated Instagram following by sharing her approach to health, fitness, and life balance. Recently, she posted a fun video of herself fueling up her unique motorcycle and heading off for a scenic ride, showcasing her adventurous spirit. Beyond the gym, Betty emphasizes the importance of quality time, balance, and unwinding on vacations, where she prefers enjoying sunrises over rigorous workouts. Her feed often features dynamic workouts, from weightlifting to swimming, and even special mother-daughter training sessions with her business partner and daughter. Pariso’s balanced philosophy demonstrates that even high-level fitness athletes can prioritize both physical discipline and the joy of life’s everyday moments.

1. She Takes Breaks

Pariso works out on a consistent basis. However, she doesn’t like to work super hard when she’s on vacation. Pariso revealed in this Instagram post that she only does a couple of push-ups on vacation. She captioned the post, “If I waste 1 hour in the gym on vacation, I am missing the moment. I do not live for the gym, the gym allows me to live for the moments. But I could get up and train early...nope, I would rather get up, walk the beach and watch the beautiful sunrise. I never train on a vacation that is 5 days or shorter. I need the break from little injuries that can turn into something bigger and sideline my training. But more importantly, I am here to get away from training, enjoy my surroundings, and enjoy the food. I want my vacations to be completely different from my disciplined, structured life.”

2. She Works Out With Her Daughter

Pariso owns her company with her daughter, and the two like to train together. She shared this video on Instagramof the two of them doing so. Pariso captioned it, “Thank you @lacyecarmichael. We occasionally get to train together, but how many Moms get to own a company with their daughter and design it together from the ground up. She killed it for 5 weeks. This is her work, and I am so proud 👉 @wbbfederation ❤️❤️❤️”

3. She Lifts Weights

Pariso likes to lift weights to stay in shape. She shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram of herself doing so. In this video, Pariso is seen doing shoulder lifts with hand dumbbells and pulling a rope. She captioned the video, “Today was one of those days I did 50 minutes of almost non-stop training using supersets on everything.”

4. She Does Pulldowns

Pariso likes to do lateral pulldowns to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this Instagram video. Piedmont states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

5. She Swims

Pariso likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself floating in a pool. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength, provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

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.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs.

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."
