How does the sunbathing beauty keep herself fit and happy? She has a few simple health habits she prioritizes on a daily basis.

1. Self-Care and Mindfulness

Monica is all about self-care. “The only [routine] thing I try to be mindful to create for myself is at least one day off a week--- completely off,” Monica told XONecole. “I'm very mindful of that self-care time, which is a dope bath, with Epsom salts, candles, music. The nature of the beast is keeping up---whether it's a game broadcast or a studio broadcast or the podcast. It's important to take that time to recharge.”

2. Regular Gym Workouts

You can Monica at the gym “regularly,” she told the publication. “I travel with gym clothes, and even if I [only] have 20 minutes, I'm going to get that 20 minutes to get some sweat in. As I've gotten older, I start to feel wired and almost anxious. Working out is hugely important to me.”

3. Surrounding Herself with Love

Monica says that keeping an “intimate circle” around is “hugely important” to her. “I kind of argue with them sometimes as to whether I'm an introvert. I don't know! I just draw a lot of energy from solo time. The nature of my career path is to have on the 'on' switch. I don't know if people realize the energy that requires, so when I get to spend time with my man or my friends and do nothing, I relish the opportunity to do nothing. When my time is free, I'm doing nothing, on purpose,” she told the publication.

4. Kettlebells

Monica trains at Harlem Kettlebell Club – a fitness studio specializing in the weights. “I’m big on Wellness & know that looks different for everybody. Personally a good gym session is part of my wellness equation but that doesn’t mean you always love it in midst of it. S/o to @saneetarenee for helping me work off the week on Friday. Make time to take care of yourself, y’all. Be good to you,” she captioned a recent post of her kettlebell workout.

5. Basketball

Basketball is one of Monica’s go-to workouts and actitvities. “Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health,” Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.

1. Training Before the Jungle

Boatwright made sure she was prepared for the hardships of the jungle before taking part in Survivor season 11 in Guatemala. “I trained really hard before I left, working out with a trainer and really preparing myself for the physical challenges I knew I would face in the jungle,” she says. “I also worked on puzzles to prepare my mind and watched all prior seasons of the show and read books on it, as well.”

2. Puzzle Challenges

Boatwright says her biggest weakness when it comes to Survivor is doing puzzles. “I can be the first to the puzzle, and since I knew I was coming on, I've been doing puzzles,” she says. “Like, my eight-year-old beats me at puzzles. So I don't know how much I've improved. It's just because I've never had a passion for them. I'm so ADD and I'm just always on the go, I never sit down to figure those things out, so I've never had any interest in them. Since I knew I was coming back on, I've been working, working, working on them, so we'll see if maybe I have improved in that area.”

3. Swimming Model

Boatwright once took part in a photo campaign for Speedo Swimwear. “During my modeling career I did an international campaign for Speedo Swimwear that featured all Olympic swimmers—and then lil’ ol’ me,” she says. “I was booked because Speedo thought I had the physique of a swimmer. Guess I missed my calling in life! Maybe I could’ve been an Olympic medalist!”

4. Back On TV

Boatwright was thrilled to return for Survivor: Winners at War 29 seasons after winning in Guatemala. “I don't think, really, I've changed as a person,” she says. “Like, I'm still that same person. My values haven't changed. The only thing that's changed is becoming a wife and a mother, which I think really works great for helping prepare you for Survivor. Because just raising kids, it's a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a lot of patience. I feel like I'm constantly hunting down hidden immunity idols because I'm trying to find a shoe or a sock or a uniform. So, I've had some practice there. Then, just in being married, marriage is a lot of work. It has great rewards, but it's definitely… you've got to work at it just like you do in the game of Survivor with your relationships you have.”

5. Losing 30 Pounds

Boatwright lost 30 pounds during the 2005 competition, which she made a point of regaining once she was back home again. “We had a wonderful cast. Unfortunately, since tribes swapped I got to meet some other people and it was really great fun as far as that goes, but those conditions were just brutal,” she says. “I mean, I lost 30 pounds. So, at 5'10" I came home 96 pounds. That's awful. Just diarrhea, we were sick from the lake water and we had to eat maggot-infested corn because maggots got into our corn and it was bad. Really bad.”

Kay Adams, known for her NFL coverage and hosting Up & Adams, frequently shares glimpses of her life and fitness routine on Instagram. Recently, she posted a mirror selfie in black workout clothes during a Q&A with fans. In an interview with GQ, Adams revealed that she works out early in the mornings, combining hiking and Pilates to stay active. Whether she's working out, walking, or swimming, Adams stays committed to keeping fit while balancing her passion for live television and NFL coverage.

1. She Works Out In The Morning

In an interview with GQ, Adams talked about her life and career. She says that she works out in the mornings. “I will wake up and do a hike at like 5:30 in the morning. This weekend I might do a hike and a Pilates class. Then I will feel good about all of my time on the couch. During the games, I’m taking notes and feverishly texting my producer. But other than that, I just watch like everybody else. I’m a fan!”

2. She Enjoys Her Job

Adams tells GQ that she’s lucky to be doing a job she loves. “I think every Sunday—every week, every quarter, every minute—is so precious. That’s one of the big lessons as you do this job: the preciousness of the moments in an NFL season. They’re so fleeting. I’ll catch myself on a Tuesday morning saying, ‘Let’s wrap up Week 11.’ Week 11?! My heart skips a beat because I love the NFL, I love football, I love celebrating the game, and it ends too soon! I’m a fan of the extended season and expanded playoffs because I can’t get enough.”

3. She’s Comfortable On Live TV

Adams shared her favorite type of journalism in her GQ interview. “I love live [TV]. I would pick live over anything, any way. I hate taping anything. I think I’m too impatient to want to do something again, or edit. If you do something live, it’s behind you, there’s nothing you can do about it. There’s a real sense of being in the present moment that I don’t shy away from. I’m saying impatient, but maybe I mean lazy. I just don’t want to do anything again. I think it’s always the best the first time. I think I’m always my best the first time. If I’m not, I’ve got another chance to do it 23 hours later.”

4. She Walks

Adams likes to walk to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos of herself walking and enjoying the scenery on vacation on her Instagram. Adams captioned the post, “Wallflower.” Adams also posted this set of photos from the Riviera Maya. In the first one, she is seen walking on a bridge. Lastly, she is seen taking a couple of walks in this reel, and captioned it, “Rancho relaxo.”

5. She Swims

Adams likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in a pool in Aspen. Better Health reports that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it's a good way to relax and feel good. Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water.”

1. She Found Her Brand

In an interview with Voyage Dallas, Williamson talked about finding her brand. “I started building my brand while I was in graduate school at Clemson University. I studied broadcast journalism at the University of Miami and went on to cover and report for Clemson’s Athletic Department. During my first week, I met Scott Van Pelt who at the time was doing a segment for ESPN’s SportsCenter called ‘Bald Man on Campus.’ It sparked the idea to make my unique look a focus of the brand I began building. I thought it was a great way for people to not feel confused or uncomfortable about the fact that I’m bald (even though it is a choice and I shave my head pretty much every day).”

2. She Wanted To Challenger Herself

Williamson revealed to Voyage Dallas that she went into sports journalism to challenge herself. “I decided to go into sports reporting in undergrad. I was a broadcast journalism major, but I wasn't really sure which path I wanted to take. I was an athlete an undergrad too, and a lot of the projects I was doing for school was sports-related just because I was always around it. I even had one professor ask me to do something other than sports! Around that time, another professor asked us what we planned on doing in the future. He specifically asked how many of us wanted to get into sports and we all raised our hands. He said something along of the lines of this being a very competitive industry, and that we should consider being in news. That sounded like a challenge to me, so I was like ‘Bet!’”

3. She Wears What’s Comfortable

In an interview with One37PM, Williamson talked about how she found her reporting attire. “The biggest thing for me was the fact that I didn't want people to think I was going into sports to get attention from athletes. For me, I was trying to do things that wouldn't draw too much attention to myself and not wear stuff that showed the form of my body. I wanted people to know that I was in this for the right reasons—not because I wanted to marry a football player. A lot of the style choices I made early on were in that regard.”

4. She Gets Vitamins From the Sun

Williamson frequently shares photos of her outdoor activities, emphasizing the importance of spending time in the sun. She often mentions the benefits of fresh air and natural light, which help her stay energized and focused. Whether it's during a workout or simply enjoying a day off, she values the mental and physical boost that being outside provides.

5. She Enjoys the Sauna

Williamson has shared glimpses of her post-workout recovery routine, which includes regular sauna sessions. The sauna helps her relax after a long day and is part of her self-care regimen. It's a way for her to decompress and recharge, ensuring she stays at the top of her game both physically and mentally.
