Ella Purnell is heating up Palm Springs in her swimsuit. In a social media post, the Yellowjackets and Fallout star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while eating by the pool. “Chips or fries you decide,” she captioned the post. How does the young actress approach health and fitness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.


1. Seafood-Free Diet

You won’t find Ella eating any seafood, which was a problem when she was filming the show Sweetbitter. “I have a stomach condition where I can’t eat certain foods, which is really convenient when you get cast as a lead in a food show,” she told Decider. “There was one oyster scene that was the most important scene in the whole season. They’re like, ‘You have to eat an oyster.’ I was like ‘If I eat an oyster, I’m taking two weeks off work because I will be so sick.'”

2. Hiking

Ella loves to hike, a great workout according to the National Parks Service. It helps with:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

3. Roller Skating

Purnell also loves to roller skate. “A chilled morning skate with the eagles in the mountains of Vancouver Island // lately I’ve been focusing on flow; just getting smoother with those transitions and filler moves like disco spins and dips. Still struggling to balance with that heal toe spin at the end but getting better at coming out of them without landing on my a**!” she captioned a recent video.

4. Mental Health

“I have anxiety and have had depression in the past,” Purnell told the Evening Standard. “When I was 15 or 16 I had a bad experience at school — some issues with other classmates and somebody I was seeing, we don’t need to go into it. I started self-harming and did that for a long time until my mum caught me and I started to learn about it [mental health].” She added that it forced her to learn about depression. “Self-harm is not about attention — I hid [my scars] for six months, wore long T-shirts, covered them up with make-up. It’s about punishing yourself, for people who dislike themselves or suffer from insecurity or self-doubt,” she continued. "I still have the scars and it’s something that I did that I will always regret: it hurt a lot of people around me and it’s on my body forever.”

5. Reading

Ella reads a lot. “With a good book,” she responded when asked by Conde Nast Traveler how she relaxes. “I’m reading Raven Black by Ann Cleeves right now, and I think I just predicted the ending. Although I do quite often predict them wrong, so I’ll keep reading.” 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.

Chloe Farnworth just shared a stunning new set of photos on Instagram this week. In them, the actress is seen lounging on a chair in a lavender swimsuit. Farnworth is known for her roles in as Regina 12 Hour Shift, Leah Sims in Departure, and Aideen in In Circles. Farnworth received compliments from her followers in the post’s comments. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Chloe Farnworth stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s In Tune With Her Characters

Farnworth opened up about her career in an interview with Pop Culturist. She says that she thinks about how a character moves first. “So, I think back in drama school, we learned how to move our bodies in a different way to tell someone’s story without actual speech, and I fell in love with the idea of doing that. Now with every project I do and every audition, I think about the physicality first before the lines; it can change how the whole character comes across.”

2. She Works Hard

Farnworth told Pop Culturist that she makes sure to work hard. “I’ve worked with director Mark Wellington a few times. He’s known for doing a lot of music videos. I met him on a Linkin Park music video shoot. He has always been a great supporter and has brought me back for a few jobs. He’s always said, ‘You have to keep going. Don’t ever stop doing what you love. Keep working really hard.’ I’ve always been someone that worked hard and hustled away. I’ve put everything I have into this, into my auditions, into my career, and into this industry. He’s always been a good supporter—I wouldn’t say mentor, but he’s a very good friend in the industry with many years of experience. He’s definitely someone who I look up to, admire, and love working with.”

3. She Goes Outside

As you can see from her recent post, Farnworth spends a lot of time outside. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself outside. In this photo set, she is seen in a garden and by the beach in San Jose del Cabo. Mind.org states that going outside has a lot of benefits. “Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects. It can: Improve your mood. Reduce feelings of stress or anger. Help you take time out and feel more relaxed.”

4. She Takes Selfies

Taking body selfies can serve as a powerful tool for self-motivation on your fitness journey. Firstly, they offer a visual record of your progress over time, allowing you to witness and celebrate your achievements. These images can be a source of pride and encouragement, reinforcing your commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Moreover, body selfies can enhance body positivity and self-esteem as you appreciate the changes and improvements in your physique. Sharing them with a supportive community or friends can also create a sense of accountability and inspire others. Ultimately, body selfies can be a valuable, tangible reminder of your fitness goals and the positive impact of your efforts, fostering lasting motivation.

5. She Enjoys the Sun

Suntanning can be an enjoyable way to soak up some sun and achieve a golden glow, but it's crucial to do so responsibly to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Start by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher before heading outdoors. Reapply it every two hours, especially if you've been swimming or sweating. Seek shade during peak sunlight hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest. Consider wearing protective clothing, like a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, to shield your face and eyes. Lastly, don't overdo it; limit your sun exposure to reduce the risk of sunburn and skin damage, and opt for self-tanning products as a safer alternative. Remember, responsible sunbathing ensures a healthier, more radiant you.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa...

She Runs

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has 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.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
