Fearne Cotton in Workout Gear Does “Messy” Yoga on Kitchen Floor

British presenter and author Fearne Cotton fits in her workouts whenever she can—and if that means a quick yoga session on the kitchen floor, so be it. Cotton, 42, shared a humorous video of herself wearing casual exercise clothes, doing exercises on a mat. “Messy head, messy kitchen, messy tracksuit yoga. Kids on screens so I can get in half an hour of moving my bones,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Cotton approaches fitness, health, and diet as a busy working mom.

1. 20-Minute Workouts

Cotton prefers shorter, intense workouts in the mornings using a fitness app. “I try to carve out 20 minutes every other day, usually first thing in the morning,” she told Fiit.tv. “At 6.30am my husband will be in the kitchen making breakfast with the kids, and I’ll go into the living room to do my workout. By 7am it’s all done and I’m set up for the day. I like to mix it up. I love fast-paced cardio classes followed by yoga. I’ve been doing Adrienne’s HIIT classes, and cardio circuits with Chessie, Steph and Lilly. I love Cat’s yoga classes and also Richie’s mobility flows. My husband does them too! I still go running and to my local yoga class when I have time.”

2. Exercise For Me-Time

Cotton works out to stay on top of her happiness as well as her health. “For me, exercise is all about feeling good. Even squeezing in a 20 minute workout to my day makes a huge difference,” she told Fiit.tv. “My body feels energized and stretched, and I feel happier. The high at the end is the best! Exercise is also my ‘me-time’. Being a mum and with my busy work schedule, I rarely get time to myself. But I think it’s really important that we make space to take care of ourselves — for our mental and physical health. When I exercise, it’s like time doesn’t exist and I can focus on me.”

3. Big Smoothie Fan

Cotton starts the day with healthy smoothies for the family. “I usually have either an omelet or porridge in the morning, and then usually make me and the kids a big smoothie made with spinach, sweetened with things like dates and bananas so that they don’t know it’s got loads of vegetables in it,” she told Health & Wellbeing. “I’m a real snacker, so I’ll nibble on things like rice cakes, oatcakes and peanut butter, carrots and hummus… For lunch I’ll have a big bowl of something like kale, noodles and tofu and loads of veg.”

4. Vegetables For Dinner

Cotton enjoys vegetable-based meals for dinner, such as a delicious broth. “I don’t eat any meat, I haven’t eaten it since I was a kid, but I’ll have fish around once a month,” she told Health & Wellbeing. “I’m really trying to keep things fish-free because of how much we’re over-fishing the oceans and it’s a big concern of mine, so I’m really trying to eat lots of good vegetarian proteins instead, but if I’m out at a restaurant I’ll maybe eat a bit of fish.”

5. Wind-Down Routine

Cotton enjoys quiet nights at home with her family for rest and rejuvenation. “I'd be pleased with some nice food or a cup of tea,” she told House Beautiful. “Having those moments of real peace and quiet are so rare now that my kids are older. They're staying up later and later. I want those evenings where I can just take my bra off and don't have to worry about the kids because they're asleep. Then, I can watch whatever I want and let my brain stop. That is a perfect night for me.”

Day of Our Lives star Camila Banus may have left the hit daytime soap, but she’s been staying on top of her workouts. Banus, 33, shared a video of herself wearing blue leggings and a white sports bra, doing a mat workout using resistance bands. Banus is committed to her fitness routine, but she knows how to make it fun, and therefore sustainable. How does the actress stay strong and motivated? Here’s what her training and wellness routine looks like.

1. Spinning At SoulCycle

Banus loves taking SoulCycle classes. “I love to spin,” she told New You. “I really love the entire workout, it’s a whole-body workout. It’s really great to be in a dark room playing great music, with everybody going, we’re all going, moving to the same beat. You do what you can, no one is putting pressure [on you], and I love that everybody is really supportive.”

2. Meal Prep

Banus meal preps on the weekends to prepare for the week ahead. “I’m okay to eat the same thing, although maybe one day I’ll eat something different, for the entire week,” she told Soap Opera Digest. “I love that. But I do have a huge problem with drinking [enough] water. Nothing worked except two things. One of them is a really cool bottle I purchased on Amazon. It keeps me motivated. It has little positive notes on the outside of it for every hour, like, 9 a.m., ‘You did it,’ 10 a.m., ‘Good job, keep going.’ The second thing is I add a couple of pineapple chunks to that bottle of water. It gives it a little bit of an acidy pineapple taste and makes it really easy to drink.”

3. Workout Fashion

Banus loves dressing up in cute outfits for her workouts. “Fashion is one of the biggest motivators for fitness for me, putting together a cute workout [outfit],” she told Soap Opera Digest. “Styling my hair, whether that’s putting it in braids or a cute ponytail or spraying on some hair spray to slick back the frizzies that I have … Making myself feel really together for the gym to get myself to conquer a workout is rewarding for me and really motivating.”

4. Keeping It Real

Banus is not interested in presenting an unrealistic version of herself online. “I’m imperfect, I have stretch marks and cellulite. My weight changes, my style does too but my heart never! I am me, Unapologetically me 💚,” she captioned an Instagram post.

5. Organizing Her Workouts

Banus likes to arrange all her workouts ahead of time and tick them off one by one. “I’ve noticed my workouts are far more effective, if I write out a list,” she told Soap Opera Digest. “For some, it may be on their phone. For some, it may be on their tablet. I personally like to have a paper written out with little boxes I can check off as soon as I get that exercise done. I feel super-complete and super-rewarded that I finished my workout for the day.”

Danni Menzies is showing off her fit figure – in a sports bra and leggings. In a new social media post the A Place in the Sun presenter shows off her washboard abs during an intense workout circuit. “Last session in Glasgow with @chantelwilkie_fit ready to get down the road and take on London,” she captioned the post. How does the 34-year-old stay fit? Celebwell has the details on her latest workout and the other health habits responsible for her amazing figure.

1. She Goes Running

Danni told Runner’s World UK that she has been running since she was 8. “Running is an escape from London life. I live in Fulham and run 10km in a loop from Putney to Hammersmith along the Thames. I usually run two to three times a week but if I’m busy with work I’ll do that route once a week and then 5-8km on the other days,” she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. She Eats Healthy During the Week

On weekdays, Danni keeps her diet ultra healthy. “Before every run I have green juice and a coffee, and then an omelette with avocado when I get back,” she told Runner’s World. “On the weekends, she cheats! “I’m a health freak Monday to Friday but I love a Domino’s Pizza on a Sunday.”

3. She Uses Fitness Apps

Danni is a fan of fitness apps. “I use Nike Running Club's running app. If I see that friends I follow have gone out and ran 7km, I’ll go and do 9km. It’s a great motivator and I like the training programmes you can get on them,” she told Runner’s World.

4. She Does Reformer Pilates

“I do reformer pilates,” Danni told Daily Star UK. “I’m a bit of a fitness freak from Monday to Friday and then I party at the weekend.“I’m good at keeping on it Monday to Friday. I’m pretty health conscious.” Should you do Pilates? The Mayo Clinic confirms that there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

5. She Also Does Yoga

“I try to do a lot of Yoga as well. I find it helps space doing exercise,” Danni added to Daily Star UK. “It makes you feel good as well as put your head in the right place too.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

6. Here Is Her New Workout Routine

Strength training is also part of her routine. Here are the exercises she does in her latest video:

1. Sumo deadlifts
2. Barbell rows
3. Front raises with a plate
4. Chest press on the ground
5. Gorilla kettlebell rows
6. Skierg cardio
7. Burpees
8. Shoulder taps

1. Gym and Dog Walking

Fletcher was very active growing up, so fitness is a way of life for the star. “Growing up I played basketball and volleyball, and I ran track," she told Us Weekly. "Now I go to the gym a couple times a week. I do a lot of cardio, like the StairMaster and spin classes. I’ll take my dog [Jackson, a German shorthaired pointer] to the park and run with him. That counts!”

2. Yummy Food and Balance

Fletcher is a big foodie, but understands the importance of balance. “I love food too much. … I love Mexican food and truffle mac ’n’ cheese — anything cheesy!” she told Us Weekly. “I cook more now that I’m getting older, because you can’t eat out every single day. It’s easy to grill a piece of chicken and steam broccoli. I eat healthy, and then I’ll have a cheat day.”

3. Resistance Band Exercises

Fletcher loves using Renoj resistance bands. “I've gotta say, although they look small, they are mighty and they give you a killer workout,” she told E! News. “I love these for so many reasons. They come in three different strengths. There's a light, medium, and heavy. These are also great if you travel a lot and you want to keep working out while you travel, these are tiny to fit in your bag.”

4. Skincare Over Makeup

Fletcher prefers a more low-key beauty routine these days. “I like to have days where I just let my skin breathe,” she told Allure. “More than anything, since I've been on the show, I've taken so much better care of my skin. I'm using oils, I'm hydrating more, and I'm always taking off my makeup before bed. I'm also doing facials. I've been trying to hydrate my hair, as well, doing certain hair masks or using hair oils."

5. Yoga Ball Workouts

Fletcher uses the Trideer yoga ball as part of her workout regimen. "These are great for crunches,” she told E! News. “I couldn't believe that this worked my hamstrings as crazy as it did. It looks so easy, but let me tell you my hamstrings are burning so much from being so sore. Killer workout. Try it and let me know. I love this ball. It comes with a little pump to inflate and deflate. You can deflate this before you travel to take this ball with you. You can target so many areas with this. This is also good for planks."

Jena Sims Koepka is working on her core – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the golf wife shows off her strength and amazing body during an exercise circuit. “Cove + Core + Pulling,” she captioned the Instagram video, demonstrating every move in the video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what is her core workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. F45 Workouts

Jena is a fan of a popular workout method. “My favorite type of workout is F45,” she told FOX. “It’s just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it’s so loud.”

2. Weight Lifting

“I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” continued Sims. “I want loud music, heavy weights. For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don’t need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial,” she told Fox. “I've been working on just upping my weights a little bit,” she added to Daily Mail. “I can get into this sweet spot and get kind of in a plateau of working out, so I upped my weights after seeing her video because I was so impressed by what she did with her fitness. I'm trying to lift heavier. Trying to build a booty.”

3. Clean Eating

To get in shape for her Sports Illustrated photoshoot, Jena didn’t diet, “ all I'm doing is just eating as clean as I can, but I'm still splurging,” she told Daily Mail. “Like, I had four dinner rolls last night at this charity event as well as my meal.”

4. Pure Barre

Jena also likes to “mix it up” when it comes to exercise. She loves Pure Barre classes, a fusion of yoga, Pilates, and ballet and a “full body, low impact workout” for everybody, according to the brand.

5. Here is Her Core Workout

Here is her latest workout, “such a good series to work the pull muscles and the ABS,” she says.

1. roll up w/ leg extended
2. tailbone raises w/ ball between ankles and arms overhead
3. plank rows
4. assisted band pull ups
