Emmerdale Star Paige Sandhu in Workout Gear Says "My Body is Good"

Love Island star Paige Turley is officially saying goodbye to Spain until her next vacation there in 2023. The singer posted a picture of herself on instagram, looking beautiful in a printed bathing suit and sarong. “Until next year IBZ 🪩💥,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Turley 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 Does Boot Camp Workouts

Turley is a huge fan of boot camp-style classes. “I've been going to boot camp classes for about two years,” Turley tells Women’s Health. 'The classes were a mix of cardio and weighted work – so, you might have the bleep test or running with a weighted backpack in the first half of the class followed by weights circuits. It was nice to have a mix!”

2. She Is Focusing On Getting Fit

Turley’s goals for 2022 were not just to get into shape again after pandemic lockdown weight gain, but to be fit and healthy with her boyfriend Finn Tapp. "We've actually been following nutrition plans and going to the gym three times a week,” she says. “We say that – but this is the first week, so… We're going to stick to it this time hopefully."

3. She Practices Yoga

Turley loves to practice yoga, even when she’s on the move. “I actually went traveling and did yoga everywhere I went,” Turley says. “I've tried various types but Vinyasa is the one I like most – it's a bit slower than my HIIT classes but I can still feel my body and muscles working.”

4. She Is Down-To-Earth

Turley sees herself as a singer first and foremost. “I certainly don’t think I’m a celebrity or anything – I’m just a girl who won a competition,” she says. “I’ve never dreamt of fame, that just baffles me. I’d like recognition for my musical talent and I’m hoping this will open doors for me, although you can be judged more harshly if you’ve been on a reality show. Luckily, I’d already established my career in music – I’ve been performing and gigging in Scotland for years.”

5. She Protects Her Mental Health

Turley is careful to protect her mental wellbeing at all times. “I enjoy yoga because it helps to relax me,” she says. “If I feel stressed I’ll have a long, hot bath and listen to a meditation app. I also love going on long walks with Finn and our dog which really chills me out. I’m quite a strong person with a thick skin and you need to be to take part in a reality show. Also I don’t take myself too seriously. If I started behaving differently because I’d been on the show, my friends and family would soon tell me straight ‘get over yourself, Paige’. I have a fantastic support network and that’s vital for wellbeing and keeps me grounded.”

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.”

1. Love Island Training

Phillips went on a very strict health and fitness regimen before going on Love Island, working out for 90 minutes a day. “I would do 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill very fast at a high incline,” she told Women’s Health. “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.”

2. Holistic Health

Phillips works out to protect her mental health as well as her physical health and appearance. “As I've gotten older, I've realized that separating being healthy from your body image, and how you ‘think you should look’, is the true gamechanger,” she told Bustle. “I feel like a lot of us just subconsciously go to the gym because we think we need to look a certain way. But there are so many other benefits; looks should be the lowest thing on your list of reasons to go to the gym… Don't get me wrong, the health benefits and all of that are absolutely amazing. But for me personally, it is all about the effect physical activity has on mental health.”

3. Morning Workouts

Phillips works out first thing in the morning before the work day starts. “I can tell you what I hate doing and that’s squats,” she told Bustle. “But I really like the feeling of lifting weights and boxing. It almost doesn't feel like you're working out because you're learning something new. I read somewhere that music also gives you the same sort of endorphins as exercise does. I can't think of anything worse than working out and having rubbish music. Or worse: no music at all. I need to listen to angry music, like DMX. Or if I'm going on holiday, then I’ll listen to happy vibe music.”

4. Plans For the Future

Phillips wants to move in a different direction in the future. “I definitely want to maybe get into some kind of politics after the show,” she told Glamour. “I just like helping people and I want to do as much as I can to help people. For me, it’s not really about how much a job pays you, because it’s about helping people. I know that’s cliché and embarrassing, but the job I was in before in the fire safety team, the job previous to that was more money, so... I got a better feeling out of the fire safety team. For me, it’s all about helping people."

5. Embracing Her Physique

Phillips wishes she hadn’t been so hard on herself in the past. “I was aware that I was definitely the biggest girl in there [the villa] but watching old episodes back now, I'm like ‘you looked fab!’” she told Women’s Health. “But that is just proof that you're never happy with what you've got, so you might as well just be happy with what you've got. I was self-conscious but I had no reason to be.”

Zara McDermott first made waves as a contestant on Love Island. She’s since translated that to a successful influencer career. McDermott has her own YouTube channel and has a strong following on Instagram. She just shared a new set of photos from a vacation this week. In them, McDermott posed in an olive green strapless swimsuit, and a red strapless one. McDermott captioned the post, “Sofari so good.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Zara McDermott 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 Switches Up Her Workouts

McDermott shared this video on her YouTube channel with her personal trainer, Gary Ward. In it, the two answered questions about McDermott’s fitness routine. One question Ward was asked is what workout regime he currently does with McDermott. Ward says that he likes to vary McDermott’s training. “This is a hard question to answer,” he starts. “Because it will change depending on the stage of her training. It varies, it varies probably every three to four weeks.”

2. She Works Out Regularly

McDermott shared this video on Instagram of herself getting ready for a workout. In the caption, she talked about her current wellness secrets. McDermott says that she makes sure to workout on a regular basis. “Get ready with me to go to the gym. 💪🏼💕❤️ One thing I’m most proud of is the fact that I’ve managed to stick to exercising at least three times a week for a long time now.”

3. She Lifts Weights

In the caption of her Instagram post, McDermott revealed that she has started lifting weights. She says that doing this has helped with her mindset towards herself and others. “I literally used to be that girl who looked down on other girls who lifted weights, saying ‘ew no I don’t want to look all bulky’ or ‘nah it doesn’t even look enjoyable why would someone do that to themselves’,” McDermott writes. “The reason I said that was because I was JEALOUS! I had 0 idea where these other girlies got their motivation and I was jealous that I lacked that myself. It’s sad really but tbh I think it’s a natural human response that when we think that something is unattainable and unachievable, we try and look down on it to make ourselves feel better. I think it was the moment I realised my true thought process, was the moment I realised I needed to change because I didn’t want to be a bitter, judgemental woman 😂 in reality the only person I was letting down was myself, because that mindset is damaging and I really believe it can eat away at your self esteem, because at the back of your mind, you think you can’t achieve something, even if you may not be able to fully admit it.”

4. She Eats Fruits & Vegetables

In addition to working out, McDermott makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She writes in her Instagram post that she is aiming to eat more fruits and vegetables. “Making sure I aim to eat more fruits at breakfast! I have at least 2 fruits on my breakfast plus a super greens drink alongside it. ✨💕 I’ve been doing some reading on gut health & apparently we should be aiming to have 30 different plants a week!”

5. She Walks

In addition to working out at the gym, McDermott makes sure to stay active in her regular life. She writes in her Instagram post that she is working on walking more. “Try and walk to the gym, not drive (unless running very late 😂). Better for the environment plus helps you get your steps in and some fresh air.”

Paige Thorne is heating up the United States – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Love Island star steams up South Florida, showing off her amazing body in exercise clothes. “First stop on my little American road trip Miami 🇺🇸,” she captioned the Instagram post. “Looking fabulous babe 😍😍😍😍❤️,” commented one of her followers. “Stunning 🔥🔥🔥,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. “Body Prep” for the Villa

During an episode of Text on the Beach Paige told Cosmopolitan UK that she hired a personal trainer before entering the Love Island villa. "Well, I started off really well," she said when asked if she felt any "pressure" to body prep. "I was like 'right I'll get a PT, I'll get in shape' and I started that about two months beforehand." However, it didn’t go as well as she hoped. "And then the closer I got to the villa, I gave up all hope. I tried. The thought process was there."

2. “Punisher” Workouts

Paige revealed on TikTok that she gives herself a “punisher day” of exercise when she slacks. She explained that she had been in Cannes for a few days and slacked, walking just “1,000 steps in the past four days,” which left her feeling “horrific.” So, she decided to amp up her workouts. “I’m about to do a punisher day of two hours’ worth of cardio,” she said. “Do I want to? No. Am I in the mood? No. Can I be bothered? No.”

3. Horseback Riding

Paige enjoys riding horses. “Blissful era ✨🌊,” she captioned a photo of herself ridingi nt he ocean. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

4. Standup Paddle Boarding

Paige enjoys standup paddleboarding when she is on vacation. “The most EXILERATING experience of my life!!From cute pics to being washed up after getting caught in a storm whilst paddle boarding⚡️⛈️🌊⚓️ … DO U WANNA SEE THE FOOTAGE OF THE EVENTS 😅😅” she captioned the post. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

5. Coffee

Paige is a coffee drinker. “Gloss and starbies are essentials 🫦,” she captioned one of her Instagram posts, holding a cup from Starbucks. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
