Georgina Ellenwood is having a good day on the track. In a new social media post the heptathlete opens up about the realities of being an athlete, showing off her amazingly fit figure in workout shorts and a tank. “I think the times my body has impressed me vs disappointed me.. is about equal. The trick is to also take them with equal weight. 💁🏼‍♀️What I’m saying is.. if you’re going to let one bad day define you, then at least let one good day do the same. Today was a good day. I am the world’s greatest athlete in all of existence 😀😀😀😀,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her workout routine.


1. Fueling Up with Food

Georgina fuels her body with healthy food. “Everyday I eat toast with an egg, turkey bacon and coffee for breakfast,” she told Running Magazine. For lunch she might grab “vegetables and dip, almonds and beef jerky or a smoothie,” she adds. “I drink lots of smoothies. I want to make sure I’m never going too long without eating.”

2. Meal Prep

Georgina is also a fan of meal prepping, so she can ensure healthy eating. “I meal prep for dinner too, to save time at the end of a long day,” she told Running Magazine.

3. A Two-Minute Ab Exercise

Georgina attributes her flat abs to a quick but intense workout. “This is a two-minute ab exercise,” Ellenwood told Running Magazine, “but it burns. I think people think they need to do 10 or 20 minutes of abs to really get it, but if you do this two-minute workout three times a week, you’ll definitely get stronger.” The routine features four exercises – a hollow hold, leg flutters, arm raises, and suitcase crunches – each which should be performed for 30 seconds without rest. “People can do something like this for two minutes, no matter how hard it is,” she says.

4. Weight Lifting

Georgina spends a lot of time weight lifting, and has managed to increase her strength over the years. “The same weight, across different years. The weight room has always been intimidating for me. All I wanted to do was run/jump/throw. I never thought I was very strong, and my body had many limits when it came to ‘range’ (don’t even get me started on overhead squats). Since I’ve spent more time in the weight room regaining strength and doing rehab.. my confidence in lifting has become a very lovely byproduct!!!” she captioned a post.

5. Swimming

Georgina spends a lot of time swimming. “New year.. just as crazy! A little dip to start off 2024,” she captioned a post. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Meagan Good is dressed to sweat and showing off her flawless figure. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her washboard abs in a matching crop top and leggings as she heads into a workout session. “Sᴜɴᴅᴀʏ‘ȥ ..☕️ 🏃🏾♀️,” she captioned the series of Instagram photos. “Daaaamn she fine! 😍 you are Pure Love & Inspiration,” one of her followers commented. “You look incredible seester,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Works Out 3 to 4 Hours Per Week

Meagan invests a good amount of time in her body every week. “I work with my trainer Augustina about four to five times a week for 45 minutes a day,” she told Black Doctor. “We start out on the treadmill and then we do a lot of exercises using my own body weight. My favorite workouts are anything having to do with making my waistline trimmer and toned. My least favorite is any type of pushup! Everybody wants lightning in a bottle, and while healthy things in a bottle do help, you have to do the work to get the results you really want.”

She Pays Attention to Protein Intake and Portion Sizes

When it comes to diet, the star puts her focus on consuming enough protein and keeping her portions in check. “I try to eat healthy. In the morning, I have a protein shake. In the afternoon I eat mostly whatever I want, I just try to modify it to a healthier choice and a smaller portion—since I still have time to be active if I’m a little bad. In the evening, I stick to baked chicken and veggies,” she dished to Black Doctor. “I think some of the best ways to stay healthy when you have a busy life and career are protein shakes, lots of…… vitamins.”

She Prioritizes Hydration

In addition to rest and beauty products, “water” is one of Meagan’s top “beauty secrets,” she told Black Doctor. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Believes in God

Meagan keeps herself grounded with religion. “Before I go to the gym, I read my Bible, say some affirmations, and listen to some gospel music or something that will help get me in a positive zone to set my intention for the day. The routine starts even before I hit the gym because if I'm already in the right frame of mind, topping it off with a workout makes me feel unstoppable,” she told Byrdie.

And, She Indulges in Self-Care

“I just turned 40, and I've been in many amazing transitions mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I've been valuing time with myself, whether that's journaling, praying, reading, or going to the gym, but it doesn't have to be the same every day. The beauty of caring for yourself is finding freedom. It's your day, and you can do what you want to do to feel present. Sometimes I stay in and cook; other times, I order takeout. I might binge-watch a TV show on a self-care day,” she told Byrdie.

Expert-Recommended

We've consulted with our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians to bring you informed recommendations for food products, health aids and nutritional goods to safely and successfully guide you toward making better diet and nutrition choices. We strive to only recommend products that adhere to our philosophy of eating better while still enjoying what you eat.

Angela Lee is breaking a sweat – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the MMA star shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a strength training workout. “For me, working out and moving my body is the ultimate de-stressor 🏋🏻♀️ I know that I will be able to show up with more kindness, patience and empathy for Ava if I do the things I need to do to take care of myself first 🫶🏼Moms, Dads, Parents, People… We can't care for others if we don't care for ourselves first ☝🏼 Let's make wellness a priority! 💛,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Complex Carbs

Lee eats carbs, but the right kind: “Switch your diet from simple carbs to complex carbs, and eat more carbohydrates in the morning so that you have energy to fuel you throughout the day,” she tells OneFC about her diet advice.

Protein

Angela prioritizes protein, but tries to fuel up on whole foods versus powders and supplements. “Protein powder is a great nutritional supplement,” she tells OneFC. “But remember to include natural protein such as chicken breast, fish, beef, and tofu in your diet as well.”

Smoothies

Angela also enjoys smoothies. She packs hers with a lot of produce. “If you are not a big fan of eating vegetables, fruit and vegetable smoothies are a great way to get your greens in,” she says.

Eat Bigger Meals Earlier in the Day

Lee recommends eating bigger meals earlier in the day. “Just eat less at night. It is actually healthier to have a big breakfast, moderate lunch, and a small dinner. This method will help you shed those extra pounds and get rid of fat,” she claims.

Her Favorite Exercises

In another interview with OneFC Angela reveals a few of her favorite exercises, starting with air squats. “It is good to practice your form, and it is an effective, easy workout,” she states. “Also, you can change the range if you want to go deeper, or if you want to go ‘sumo squat’ style,” she says. She also loves push-ups, “great for everyone to do daily, because it builds your shoulder muscles and tightens your core, as well as many other benefits,” Lee says. “Also, there are a lot of different kinds of push-ups you can do, like speed push-ups and triangle pyramid push-ups. You can change it up. There are a lot of different options.” And, she also does burpees. “It is a full body range of motion, and a great way to get your heart-rate up pretty quick,” Lee says.

Jena Sims is getting her sweat on in her sleek, home gym. In a new social media post the model shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece Alo exercise set during a lower body workout with her trainer, Olivia Figueroa. “Never met a lower body day we didn’t like @jenamsims 🍑🍑🍑🍑 lean, toned, strong, intentional, sexy,” the personal trainer captioned the video clip. These "days are the best days!” added Sims. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

When it comes to building muscle, strength training is Sims go-to method. “I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” she continued. “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 [backside].”

Exercise Classes

Jena enjoys group fitness. “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.”

No Diets

Jena doesn’t diet. Even if she has a big shoot or runway show ahead of her, “ 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.”

Barre Workouts

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. “Barre helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk, and it improves your posture. It also increases cardiovascular endurance and metabolism, which helps to quickly burn calories. Regular barre workouts can increase your bone density, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis,” adds Barre studio Physique 57.

Here is How to Get Her Abs

Jena’s trainer recently shared her ab workout:

weighted march - 20 reps

side crunch - 10 reps

sit up + twist - 10 reps

knee tuck - 20 reps

Kerly Ruiz is training her legs – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness personality shows off her amazingly fit figure during an exercise session. “Workout of the day!! Here I leave you today's exercise for quadriceps!!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Here's What She Eats in a Day

Kerly shared a sample day of eating, starting with breakfast: 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg

30g of oats or 1/2 potatoes. Next up, a snack, a protein shake and 2 small Colombian potatoes. Then, for lunch she has 140g chicken with 100g rice and a green salad. For a snack she has 90g shrimp and zucchini vegetable pasta. And finally, for dinner she has 110g of fish with 1 egg and green salad.

Intermittent Fasting

In order to “lose weight, burn fat and get super fit” Kerly intermittent fasts, which she calls her eating method. Intermittent fasting works by “prolonging the period when your body has burned through the calories consumed during your last meal and begins burning fat,” explains Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Low Carb Diet

Kerly is on a low carb diet, she told El Estimulo, revealing she only eats “light” sandwiches. “I try not to eat a lot of bread because it makes my belly bigger, but when I can, I use whole wheat bread. I try to combine it with protein, which is very important to maintain muscle. I like to put some dressings that give flavor to the sandwich so that the diet is pleasant and I don't get bored,” she says. “Olives, avocado, olive oil, alfalfa, whole wheat toast, a grilled chicken breast and a little mustard, because it's the only dressing that doesn't have calories. No mayonnaise, no tomato sauce.”

She Counts Calories

“My diet only allows me a low-calorie sandwich, between 150 and 180 calories, which could be eaten mid-morning - I eat 6 times a day - because you can't eat carbohydrates at night. I try to find the right flavors, since I live on a diet. I put a little bit of what I have at home, avocado, which even though it has fat, it's the good kind, tomato too, so to speak, you can't overdo it either, and olive oil, which is a good fat for the body, skin, hair and nails,” she added.

No Mayo

One ingredient that she would never put in a sandwich? “Mayonnaise because I think that first of all it's greasy for the skin, it gives you acne and secondly it goes to your belly, your rolls. I don't like mayonnaise at all,” she said.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a very successful actress. She is known for roles on TV shows like Party of Five, Ghost Whisperer, The Client List, and Criminal Minds. She currently stars on the TV series 9-1-1. Hewitt is also known for movie roles like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Can’t Hardly Wait and Heartbreakers. Hewitt has an incredible figure and skin, and does a lot of different things to maintain it. Here are 7 of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s secrets.

She Does EmSculpt

The secret behind Hewitt’s impressive abs? EmSculpt. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself doing it. Hewitt captioned the post, “Getting in one of my favorite ‘workouts’ before Thanksgiving! This mom of three is a huge fan of #EmsculptNeo for strengthening my core and helping to heal my diastasis recti.”

She Uses An Ice Roller

Hewitt has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her favorite products in an interview with Good Housekeeping. Hewitt says that she likes to use an ice roller. "I keep it simple. I don't use a lot of stuff. I really enjoy ice rollers. I'm really into those right now, and my kids are into those."

One of Hewitt’s biggest skincare secrets? Keeping it moisturized. Hewitt shared her favorite moisturizer and lip balm with Good Housekeeping.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” 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 than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

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

Pilates

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.
