Fire Country actress Stephanie Arcila had a blast over the summer, soaking up the sun at the beach in Los Angeles. Arcila, 33, shared a picture of herself posing in a bright bikini on Malibu Beach with two girlfriends, looking like they were having the time of their lives. “Vitamina D ☀️,” she captioned the post. “Excuse meeee — somebody call Fire Country to put out this fire!” commented actress Inga Schlingmann. Arcila’s career is only going from strength to strength—here’s how she does it.

1. Fire Country Boot Camp


Shooting Fire Country was intense, Arcila reveals. “It was like a boot camp all at once,” she says. “I had a blast, though. I’m in the best shape of my life now because of Fire Country, because I had to get strong to be able to carry all of the heavy stuff that we carry, and to be able to do all of our action stuff. I’ve learned so much from all of my castmates who are incredibly talented. And watching Max and Kevin [Alejandro, who plays Manny] direct their episodes was really beautiful. It’s so inspiring to watch your coworkers dive into other departments, because they know the story and they’re already immersed in it. I’m excited and I want to shadow every single department, so I can learn even more.”

2. Online Classes and Workouts

Arcila was forced to slow down when production halted due to the pandemic. “I’m used to going all the time, not stopping, working, and staying busy,” she says. “The first week was a little tough for me, but then I managed to sit down to see how I was feeling and figure out what I can do to help myself mentally. I started realizing I had so many things I had to do that I’ve always wanted to do, which never had the time to do. There are plenty of books and do a bunch of my friends workout. I’m taking three online classes, spending time with my dog, and cleaning the house every single corner. I’m a clean freak, so I’ve always wanted to do that. Staying busy, taking it easy, and giving myself those moments of rest as well without feeling guilty.”

3. Constant Soot and Dirt

Arcila is fine about getting constantly dirty for her Fire Country role. “I don’t mind getting dirty,” she says. “It’s funny, because when I was little my mom was like, ‘You can go out in a white dress and come back with your dress super clean,’ because I hated getting dirty. But now I don’t care, I’ll roll around in the mud. It’s actually more fun! Like, if it’s raining and there’s a puddle and I feel like being a kid and jumping in it, I do it.”

4. Meditation and Exercise

Arcila relied on exercise and meditation to get through the pandemic lockdowns. “I’ve been productive within certain measures,” she says. “I try to do things for myself and for my growth. Meditating helps me with this quarantine and it helps my acting as well. I create a lot of characters through my meditation and a lot of my character’s stories, lives and I use a lot of imagery work. It’s all about self-love and I know this is all helping me grow as a person and to better myself. If I better myself right now, I can give that energy out and be able to help other people as well.”

5. Going With the Flow

Arcila has learned to let go of certain stresses for her own mental health. “I worked on myself trusting, having patience, and understanding that things are not always in my control,” she says. “It was accepting and the releasing of things–not about the attachment of things. I’ve worked on that for about three years now. I have a peace about it on what’s meant to be for me. What’s going to happen is going to happen. The way things pan out is the way they are supposed to. Things just flow in the way they’re supposed to.”

So that they know that, whatever happens, they will be able to get ahead. So that they are always happy, that they look for the bright side of things and that their lives have joy. That they be inspired in something that they are passionate about. That is my role, every day, that they see me happy, working. Even though I was a housewife for many years, I like that now they see me as productive. They see me creative, enthusiastic.”

2. She Doesn’t Feel Pressure To Be In A Relationship

After a divorce, Pampita told CARAS that she’s not rushing to get into a new relationship. “I don't feel the pressure of being in a relationship. Last year I was single for a lot of months.

Because something special happens.”

Pampita makes sure that she eats healthy. She opened up about her diet to CARAS. “I'm on the go all the time, and I eat like six meals a day. Like everything.

That's because your body can only absorb calcium, the primary component of bone, when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

Kat Izzo was a contestant on the 27th season of The Bachelor, which aired earlier this year. She is currently starring on the ninth season of Bachelor in Paradise. Izzo just shared a stunning new set of photos from the show on Instagram. In them, she wore different swimsuits. She captioned the post, “Manic but marvelous.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kat Izzo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Wants To Build Relationships

Izzo opened up about her decision to go on Bachelor in Paradise to Bustle. “At first, I was a little hesitant. But I thought this was also going to be an experience with my girlfriends, and it might provide some hopeful relationships — either deepening [a relationship] with myself or with others. It would just be something I really couldn’t say no to.”

2. She’s True To Herself

Stay,True.,Motivation,Square,Poster.,Text,Lettering,Of,An,InspirationalShutterstock

Izzo made sure to be true to herself when she filmed Bachelor In Paradise. She tells Bustle that she was initially worried, but overcame those doubts. “Just the vulnerability that comes with putting yourself back on television. [But] the good thing about Paradise is it represents the real world a lot more than the other shows do, so you can get comfortable a lot quicker. I was worried I would be in my shell, but that definitely was not the case. I was fully myself in every capacity.”

3. She Swims

Izzo spends a lot of time outside, and does a lot of outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. One thing she likes to do is go swimming. She shared this photo of herself going for a dip in a pool on Instagram. Izzo captioned the post, “Monday blues.” She also shared this photo of herself in a pool, captioning it, “Where the wild things are.”

4. She Hikes

Another outdoor workout Izzo likes to do is going hiking. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself going on hikes. Izzo shared these photos of herself in Asheville, North Carolina. In some of them, she is seen hiking. She also shared these photos of herself hiking Grandfather Mountain. Izzo captioned that post, “How we started vs how we ended our 5.8 mile 1940 ft elevation hike.”

5. She Gets Vitamin D

Exposure to sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, offering various health benefits. When the skin absorbs UVB rays, it triggers the synthesis of vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. Adequate vitamin D levels promote strong bones by aiding calcium absorption, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, it supports a healthy immune system, reducing susceptibility to infections. Vitamin D may also contribute to mood regulation and lower the risk of depression. Furthermore, emerging research suggests potential links between vitamin D and reduced risks of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and certain cancers. However, it's important to balance sun exposure to prevent skin damage and skin cancer. Consulting a healthcare professional for guidance on maintaining optimal vitamin D levels is advisable.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

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

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, 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, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
