Ashley revealed that walking was the workout responsible for making her feel like herself again after welcoming her first child. "Getting back with my trainer @harleypasternak has changed my body tremendously and honestly it's all about getting your steps in," she said in an Instagram Story. "His method isn't hard and my body isn't left feeling like I tortured it. I can't believe what my body has gone through over the last year and a half. I'm so grateful for it and honestly can't believe how strong I feel." Wearing a Fitbit, she aims for 14,000 steps a day. "All I do is walk lol but it's effective," she said. "I'm only sharing this because after months of working hard and trying everything, these small changes in the last three weeks is what have done the most," she continued. "It's the difference of how I feel. It's all about moving, finding ways of walking. Taking the dogs out with the baby for a stroll, taking meetings while walking vs. sitting." She also claims it is good for her mental health. "It's honestly what has helped my mental health as well," she added. "Having the extra energy from anxiety, just taking a walk and putting on a walking meditation always makes me feel better."

2. She Focuses on Low Impact Workouts

Tisdale, who has "borderline thyroid disease," adds that low impact workouts help her condition, in addition to diet. "I eliminate gluten (sometimes 😛), dairy and do everything I can to not have to rely on medication but a lot of it is not creating stress on the body and even though working out is great, the different methods can create more stress and do more damage," she said. "So using @harleypasternak technique helps me reach my goals but not over exert myself."

3. She Mixes Up Her Workout

In addition to training with Pasternak, Ashley also stays fit through a variety of other workouts. "I've worked my butt off. Whether it's hiking, Pilates, riding on my Peloton,” she wrote on Frenche.

4. Her Diet Is Balanced and Healthy

She also revealed on Frenche that diet is a big part of the equation. “While I haven’t mastered his recipes yet, I’m excited to dive deeper into them. He always says, ‘you can’t out-walk a bad diet,’ and I’m trying to live by that too,” she said about Pasternak’s plan. “In the past, I practiced yo-yo dieting that wasn’t sustainable instead of focusing on making lifestyle changes. That’s ultimately the opposite of Harley’s methods. He emphasizes the importance of fueling the body with food rather than depriving it of certain foods. My entire point is that while it’s easy to get caught up in wanting fast results from your diet and exercise regimen, it’s not a healthy mindset to have. It’s not a race; it’s a lifestyle, so I’m sure the more I do it, the better I’ll get at it.”

5. She Claims Ditching Dairy Is Responsible for Her Glow

“Skin never looked so good,” Ashley said in an Instagram video. “I would love to say it’s just the products I use but I’ve been dairy free for 5 years and I swear it changed everything with my skin. I barely break out,” she added. “I know it’s hard to give up something but when you do, after awhile, you barely crave it and I feel healthier.”

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.”

Ashanti has been sharing photos from a mega-trip to the Bahamas. “I’ve been celebrating my birthday literally the whole month,” she captioned some photos. “As we all have seen tomorrow is not promised so celebrate life to the fullest!! I’ve been on tour the past couple months and was determined to make sure I was still able to celebrate my birthday.. I went from the stage to the plane to the sand and back from the sand to the plane to the stage!!! Literally!! Lol super grateful for all of the love and birthday wishes, it has been an Amazing year filled with ups and downs of course.. so creating these lifetime memories are priceless.” Read on to see 5 ways Ashanti 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 is Super-Aware of What’s in Her Food

“I cut out a lot of meat,” she told People. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMO’s and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

2. She Has a Trainer

Ashanti and trainer Raheem Chatman work out together. “When I’m home in NYC, I have a trainer, Raheem. We do weight training, cardio, running. I’m kind of a tomboy and I’m very competitive so I never want him to beat me. Sometimes he has me work on mobility, other times endurance, and then we’ll go for strength. I think it’s important to mix it up and hit different parts of your body. We’ll do the Stairmaster, lots of core work,” she told Parade.

“I definitely try to do stuff when I’m not with my trainer and he’s always paying attention to what I am or am not doing though,” she told Parade. “When I’m not at home, he’ll text me a workout and I’ll try to get it done. I’ll try to do crunches and jump rope and pushups and stuff on my own. I try!"

4. She Powers Through

“I don’t always feel like working out but finishing a gym session is the best feeling,” she told Parade. “I did that like two weeks ago. I was l so out of it and I was like, ‘I don’t feel like it.’ We were in New York. It was raining. It was gloomy. It was cold. But I pushed myself and I went and I put it on my Insta stories and I’m laying on the floor in the gym and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I was so dead before I got here. And I’m even more tired now but I’m so proud of myself that I actually did the workout.’”
