Ellie Zeiler in Two-Piece Workout Gear is a "Happy Soul"

Ellie Thumann is showing off her new athleisure fashion choices in the fashion capital of the world: New York City. Thumann, 22, shared pictures of herself walking down the street in white shorts and a matching sports bra, looking effortlessly stylish in her yoga gear. “@alo + nyc,” she captioned the post. “Love these!” commented model and influencer Lexi Wood. She also posted a workout video captioned "happy place @alo." Thumann returned to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit this year—here’s what her fitness routine looks like.

Thumann is thrilled to be part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family. “It gives me purpose and makes me feel so fulfilled as it’s something that has been a dream of mine for years,” she told The Bare Magazine. “Their entire team truly feels like a family and always have me cracking up and feeling my most confident. I was so nervous about shooting with them at first, but by the end of it, I understood the feeling that all the other girls have described, which is feeling so empowered and comfortable! It’s been the biggest blessing to me!”

2. Pilates and Walking

Thumann prefers more gentle forms of exercise. “I really focus on Pilates and getting my steps in outdoors,” she told The Bare Magazine. “I have never been into heavy weight lifting or high intensity classes. It just personally has never made me feel my best and I feel so empowered when I’m doing Pilates or a mat exercise! I’ve never followed a strict diet because I’ve always enjoyed eating healthy, and I think by looking at it in a positive way like that, it makes it a lot better on my own mindset and makes eating healthy super enjoyable!”

3. Soup From Scratch

Thumann loves making soup from scratch. “Growing up, that was my mom’s favorite thing to make for us whenever we were just feeling under the weather or overwhelmed,” she told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “It just became a very comforting thing to me, especially when [my] appetite feels a little off, a heavy meal [is just] a lot for me if I’m anxious. Soup has always just been like the easiest, coziest thing for me to make.”

4. Therapeutic Cooking

Thumann finds cooking very therapeutic. “I feel like especially when I’m anxious or just want to feel a little bit relaxed and at peace, soup always helps me with that,” she told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. “There’s also something so comforting about just being in the kitchen, listening to my favorite peaceful country music and just making a good old soup. It never misses every single time. Making soup is literally my favorite thing.”

5. Style and Fashion

Thumann is confident in her style choices. “I dress for comfort, and I think with that sometimes I might look a little silly, but I’ve learned to really be comfortable in my own skin and found that baggy jeans or parachute pants are truly such a go to for me!” she told The Bare Magazine. “A street comfy style is how I would describe my personal style!”

Kelsey Kiel, a prominent CrossFit athlete, recently shared glimpses of her life on Instagram, including quality time spent with her family, partner, and beloved dog. Her post reflects a heartwarming weekend filled with adventures, football, pumpkin picking, and cozy coffee moments. Kiel expressed her sentimentality, saying, “I miss Jojo already. Such a good weekend with my mom, my guy and of course, Oliver. 🥹♥️ adventures, football, pumpkins and coffee. I’m grateful!!” This showcases not just her physical strength but also the strong bonds she cherishes with her loved ones, highlighting the balance she maintains between her rigorous training regimen and a fulfilling personal life.

1. She Works Hard

Kiel makes sure to work hard when she trains. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “The truth is - I’ve been chasing a competitive dream in some way shape or form for almost 10 years. Taking this time for ME has filled my cup (and then some♥️). But it’s hard when I’m used to my body looking a certain way. But the truth is I had to fight to be lean. I had to count and track everything I ate and drank. When I finally gave myself the necessary grace and time away from that, I’ve evolved and my body has followed suit.”

2. She Works On Self-Love

Kiel is working on self-love, especially when it comes to her body. She also talked about this in the caption of the previous Instagram video. “I’m going to fight to love this body in this season of life. I’m going to be better about speaking kindly to myself. It’s hard and I think it’ll be something I have to actively work on (always and forever), but I must, and you must, because this is our one precious life and why should we go through it being so damn hard on ourselves?”

3. She Lifts Weights

Kiel likes to lift weights to stay in shape. She is seen lifting a barbell in the previous Instagram video. Kiel also shared this post of herself weightlifting, captioning it, “Stayin’ skrong 👸🏼✨ // 225, 235, 245 for 1+1 🤝” ACE Fitness states that weights have a lot of health 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.”

4. She Does Yoga

Kiel shared some of her favorite ways to stay fit in this Instagram post. One thing she is seen doing is yoga. Harvard Health reports that yoga has a lot of health benefits. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance.”

5. She Walks

Another exercise that Kiel is seen doing in the previous Instagram post is walking. Harvard Health states that walking has a lot of benefits. “A pair of studies from the University of Exeter found that a 15-minute walk can curb cravings for chocolate and even reduce the amount of chocolate you eat in stressful situations. And the latest research confirms that walking can reduce cravings and intake of a variety of sugary snacks.”

Ellie Goulding is packing a punch – in her workout ensemble. In a new social media post the singer shows off her incredible body – and impressive strength – during a grueling boxing workout session. “No cap,” she captioned the Instagram video, tagging her trainer, Ruth London. What do you need to know about the Lights singer’s go-to workout and everything else she does to stay fit? Celebwell has the answers.

1. Ellie Has Been Boxing for Many Years

Goulding has been boxing for years. “I start my day training at the gym,” she told People. “Somehow I’m a natural at boxing. Who knew? I feel like constantly sweating is good for getting toxins out. I like to drink and do things that a lot of women do, and that helps counteract that.”

2. She Feels Empowered

The singer explains that the workout also empowers her. “I hit hard,” Goulding added. “The idea of being physically strong and capable of defending myself gives me a real sense of empowerment, which is so different from the profound vulnerability I have when I’m by myself writing music.” She makes sure to hydrate during her grueling sessions. “I sweat like crazy,” she said.

3. Boxing Is a Great Workout for Several Reason

Why is boxing a good workout? 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. "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 says."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.”

4. Ellie Also Does HIIT Workouts

Ellie is a fan of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). “I’ll run to Faisal’s class (at Barry’s Bootcamp) in the morning. It’s only about 25 minutes from home and it gets my heart rate up enough to go in and be ready because it’s quite tough,” she told Women’s Health UK. “I’m more of a burst girl than sustained. I like it when the treadmills on dynamic and I do sprints. I prefer using my own body as weight, so press-ups, mountain climbers and burpees.”

5. She Fasts, Eats Mostly Plant-Based, and Avoids Most Carbs

Ellie is all about fasting. “I built my way up to 40-hour fasts over time (started with 12),” Ellie told The Mirror. “It helps blood sugar control and helps fight inflammation – the mother of ALL health problems.” She says she does it “very safely by having a purposefully nutritious food day the day before and after,” she added. “On the fast day, I drink high-grade electrolytes and a LOT of water,” plus tea and coffee. “Fasting is safe and beneficial unless you are diabetic or have serious health issues,” she continued. It gives her “digestive system a break,” she says. She also avoids most animal products. "I eat a lot of things for their nutritional value. The things I love for my taste are sweet things," she told Jessie Ware on her Table Manners podcast.. While she does consume some dairy now, she still doesn’t eat red meat. "I'm all about dairy….I'm not mad about coconut yogurt and all those dairy-free alternatives,” she added. "In the morning, I'll have a messy bowl which is yogurt with lots of goji berries and nuts and I love prunes and dates."
