Ella Emhoff is the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris. She is also a model and knitwear and textile artist. Emhoff and her mother recently enjoyed a day of kayaking in Mexico. She shared some photos and a video on Instagram from the day. Emhoff captioned the post, “We went kayaking and now my arms are sore but my skin is oh so soft. We love a mother daughter trip.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ella Emhoff stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s Found Confidence In Herself

Emhoff opened up about being a model, and how it has helped with her confidence to The Washington Post. “All of my life, I had really low self-esteem and self-confidence, so this kind of felt like a way for me to take that back,” she said. “I have body hair, I have tattoos. Like, that’s not crazy in the scheme of things today, but it’s not what you’d consider, like, the most generic-type model.”

2. She’s An Activist

Emhoff is a prominent activist. She tells ELLE that she wants to use her career as a model to talk about causes that are important to her. “I think modeling now is not just about modeling, but it's about creating space for people who do other things, whether it be art, activism, writing, any type of creation. And I get really excited when I'm able to do things that, and work with brands that actually let me not only be the model, but actually share my own thoughts and have [conversations] like this where I can talk about sustainability and activism in general.”

3. She Uses Sustainable Products

Emhoff wants to use sustainable materials in her knitting. “It’s made me obsessed with researching materials, especially the recycled cashmere [Stella McCartney] has been working on,” she told ELLE. “I try and source my yarns as sustainably as possible, whether it’s by going to outlets that are going to just throw away all their yarn, or working with other brands to get their excess yarn, or using yarn that I've had since I was a child. It's made me think more resourcefully on the ways that I want to package things… It’s made me ask myself, ‘Is this cool and is this helpful?’ It’s been a big influence.”

4. She Spends Time With Her Dogs

Emhoff is a dog lover and she spends a lot of time with them. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself with a dog, captioning it, “Everyone, say hi to Jerry.” The American Kennel Club states that having a dog has a lot of benefits. “Just petting a familiar dog lowers blood pressure and heart rate, slows breathing, and relaxes tense muscles. Scientists at Washington State University discovered that petting a dog for just 10 minutes can have a significant impact. Study participants had a significant reduction in cortisol, a major stress hormone.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

As you can see from her recent post, Emhoff spends a lot of time by the water. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. According to the South African College of Applied Psychology, going to the beach has a lot of health benefits. “Mindful meditation helps us re-centre ourselves and truly be in the moment. And spending time on the beach can activate mindfulness. Sitting on the beach is a great place to help slow you down and bring you back to the present moment. Watching and hearing waves, feeling the sand, and smelling the sea spray, all assist in focusing your attention on the here and now. Alternatively, swimming in the sea automatically also draws you into the present moment. Swimming immerses all your senses – the colour, feel and sound of the water around you, its taste and smell.”

Daisy Kelliher is the chief stew on the hit Bravo series, Below Deck Sailing Yacht. She shares a lot of revealing photos on Instagram. Recently, Kelliher shared a photo of herself in a black and white zig-zag halter swimsuit. Her impressive figure was on display. Kelliher captioned the post, “Don’t forget to be sun safe.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Daisy Kelliher stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s Grown Confident

In an interview with Dockwalk, Kelliher talked about being a chief stew, and how she’s grown. “It was definitely a challenging season for me but I felt confident in my management skills. I liked to see that I had become the chief stew that I always wanted to be. I am supportive and I am kind, but it’s hard to see these things without them literally being shown to you on TV.”

2. She’s Learned Her Management

Kelliher tells Dockwalk that she has learned how to manage her other stews. “I took the things I didn’t like about my chief stews, which were they weren’t very approachable and strict and I’m like, we’re making beds and heads, there’s no need to undermine me or talk down to me. I think that kind of defined my management style. To an extent, I have to tell people what to do and be a bit of a boss, but I definitely feel like more of a team player and more approachable.”

3. She Hikes

Kelliher does a lot of outdoor workouts to stay in shape. One thing she likes to do is to go on hikes. Kelliher shared this video of herself and some friends hiking in Donegal. She captioned the post, “Our hike up mount errigal. Took 3 hours in total moderate level- really good path. Can’t believe how lucky we got with the weather was pretty much first day of spring. Just the most incredible views of Donegal. Some of Lord Of The Rings was filmed here.”

4. She Skis

Kelliher likes to ski to stay in shape. In this set of photos she posted on Instagram, she is seen on the slopes. Kelliher captioned the post, “The amount I have done of the last ten days has just been incredible. La➡️ San Antonio ➡️ aspen. I feel so incredibly lucky to have the amazing experiences and share them with the most amazing people. If your ever in San Antonio you have to stay in @thehotelemma but it’s not over yet next stop beaver creek.”

5. She Swims

Kelliher spends a lot of time by the water for her job. She also likes to swim to stay in shape. Kelliher shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water.

Marni Hughes is hanging ten in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the News Nation anchor shows off her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit while wakeboarding on Lake Michigan. “Surfing on a Thursday,” she captioned the post with her followers. “Ok…. You were my hero before…..but now you’re my superhero!!!!” commented her colleague, Ashleigh Banfield. “Coolest,” added Markie Martin. How does the journalist approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up some of her top lifestyle habits.


1. She Reads

Marni is an avid reader. She regularly recommends books on her Instagram page. “Just finished this one by @barbara.kingsolver Raw, honest, descriptive journey of life, family, friendship, addiction, foster care, heart and perseverance. Definitely recommend,” she captioned the post on National Book Lovers Day. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

2. She Rides Bikes

Marni has a favorite form of transportation – bike riding. “Weekending,” she captioned a photo of herself on a ride. 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.

3. She Golfs

Marni is also a golfer. On her 20th wedding anniversary she and her husband went on a golfing trip to The American Club at Kohler in Wisconsin. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

4. She Runs

Marina loves to run. In October 2022 she completed the Chicago Marathon. “👏 to all the runners! And to my husband, who agreed to do this with me. That’s love!” she captioned a post. 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 Kayaks

During the summer months you can find Marni on the lake kayaking. Kayaking is a great workout. Not only is it great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.

6. She Wakeboards

Another one of Marni’s favorite water sports? Wakeboarding, which she is doing in her recent Instagram post.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have 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.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

She Tries to Get Enough Sleep

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

She Hydrates

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Does Pilates, Spinning, Elliptical, and Running Workouts

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
