Geri Halliwell in Workout Gear Says “Happy Birthday Mel C!”

Singer Geri Halliwell is wishing her fellow Spice Girls group member Melanie Chisholm a very happy birthday on Instagram. Halliwell, 51, shared a picture of the two women posing together, wearing soccer shirts as they flexed their biceps. “Happy birthday @melaniecmusic May all your birthday wishes come true! ❤️❤️” she captioned the post. “Thank you ❤️,” Chisholm, 50, commented. Halliwell has been in the public eye for decades—here’s how she keeps growing and evolving.

1. Horseback Riding

Halliwell starts every day with a ride on her horse. "I don't know how many animals I've got!" she told PEOPLE. "We bought another horse today, and we named him Hercules after my favorite animation. I learned to ride horses in L.A., and now Monty is giving it a go. I was shocked because as a parent, whenever I try and push or over-encourage my children, they're like, 'Meh.' He just suddenly went, 'I'm doing it.' I think he had a play-date, and he was trying to impress his little girlfriend."

2. Lazy Skincare

Halliwell keeps her skincare routine as simple as possible. “I'm probably the laziest person you will ever meet in beauty care,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I am. I'm just tired and I wanna go to bed, so I want to do it as fast as possible and as simply as possible. I use minimal products as possible and I like to keep it natural, keep it simple. I sometimes go to sleep with my makeup on, but I actually like my makeup the next day, you know that kind of sunken in look? In the '90s, I didn't have a skincare regime. I was just like 'Oh, get on with it'. I think maybe [now] I use Nivea, which is a nice cool cream. My mom used it. I quite like it still. But I think as life happens, you're always giving to other people so it is nice to just stop and think 'This is my moment, I matter'. I don't wanna look older. I just wanna look my best.”

3. Wearing White

Halliwell is known for her all-white outfits, something she says was a deliberate style choice. "I really have enjoyed wearing white,” she told InStyle. “I looked through the ages. I've worn white a lot. The more I wore it, I thought, 'Oh actually, this is so easy. Everything matches.' So, it's sort of as a palette, a baseline palette. I've done it for a few years and then everyone keeps on commenting. It's really interesting how everyone comments on it. When I wore black all the time, no one said a word."

4. She’s a Writer

Halliwell writes children's books as well as her regular songwriting work. “I really love writing from the heart—emotive and connective,” she told Town & Country. “I think they can both do the same thing. With writing a book, you've got to be more expansive and more descriptive. It's just a different discipline, but both are very rewarding. I never stopped writing songs. I always knew that I wanted to continue writing music, because that was my favorite thing. Look, I'm no Mariah Carey, but one of my most enjoyable things was always writing the lyrics and the top line.”

5. Fabulous In Her 50s

Halliwell is fully embracing her 50s. “Rather than saying I am 50, I’m saying I get to be 50,” she told Amazing. “I’ve got half a century under my belt! I thought if I am going to champion the evolution of what I’ve always stood for – and that’s empowering others, whoever you are, and being yourself – actually, another boundary to break is to say, ‘It’s alright, it’s more than alright, it’s amazing [to be 50].’ I think sometimes we can look at the future with fear, but it’s the opposite.”

If I’m really organised I’ll slice up some veggies and make up a tahini dip to take with me, too.”

3. She Focuses on Her Abs

Mel B says that she loves to workout on her abs, and focuses on them the most. “30 minutes is a perfect amount of time to focus on your core,” she tells Body and Soul. “I’ll just go hard on my abs for half an hour, alternating between side planks, sit-ups, leg lifts, and some work with the med ball.”

Mel B’s main wellness and workout secret? Enjoy your workouts. In an interview with Body and Soul, the singer advises people, “Do what you enjoy.

And change things up if it gets boring!”

5. She Keeps Her Workouts Fun

Mel B tells Body and Soul that she tries to keep her workouts fun, and that she has a lot of ways to keep herself excited. “I never do the same everyday.

Mel B says to Body and Soul that while she tries to eat healthy, she isn’t afraid to indulge herself once in a while. “For me it’s all about moderation,” she says. “So if my girls want to get a pizza on the weekend, we’re going to get a pizza. I’d go crazy if I denied myself the occasional treat.” Mel says that she does have a particular indulgence. “I try to keep my chocolate intake to two squares after dinner every other day.”

7. She Makes Time To Workout

Despite Mel’s busy schedule, she always makes time to exercise. “You can’t be saying to yourself, ‘I’m too busy,’” she says to Body and Soul. “Help yourself by preplanning your meals and locking in times to exercise, and stick to it! Just like a kid pack yourself a lunchbox. You’ve also got to be doing it for you, otherwise you’ll never feel motivated to get out of bed!” Mel says that she makes sure to do her workouts early. “The earlier the better. If I can get my workout done by 7am, I feel great for the rest of the day.”

• "Lie on your stomach. Raise yourself up so that you're resting on your forearms and your knees. Align your head and neck with your back, and place your shoulders directly above your elbows. Tighten your abdominal muscles.
• Raise your right arm off the floor. Hold for three deep breaths. Repeat with your left arm.
• Raise your right leg off the floor. Hold for three deep breaths. Repeat with your left leg.
• For added challenge, raise your left arm and your right leg at the same time. Repeat with your right arm and left leg."

2. She Fights

Millie is a fighter. “It’s not a training workout. I train to box,” she told Vulture. “Obviously I don’t want to do it professionally. But I have done some inter-clubs before. It’s at Phoenix MMA U.K., down in London. It’s a great gym, and I have lots of friends. Because I’m homeschooled, I get kind of lonely sometimes. So I like to go to the gym. I do Thai boxing Mondays, jujitsu Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Wednesdays I do boxing with Mark. He was a world champion at one point. I absolutely love it. I actually have a punching bag right outside in my garden. I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig so it kind of makes up for that.”

3. She Doesn’t Like to Work Out

Millie confessed to Glamour UK, that “shockingly” she doesn’t like to work out. “I'm good at working out my face, not good at working on my body,” she said. “I find it important, though, as we all have to be healthy and give our body the exercise it needs.”

4. She Loves Aerial Silk

In her latest film, Millie does all the aerial work. “I love aerial silks. It's always been a passion of mine,” she told Glamour UK. “So I find using aerial silks really fun and therapeutic – it gives me a break from the world. And you find art within it. While I was doing it, I thought, gosh, the silks in so many ways represent womanhood: there’s strength, both masculinity and femininity, and you can create poses and shapes that are so different to show your sexuality,” she continued. “It represents so much: you can be big and you can be tiny and you can be afraid of the silk. You can be afraid of the height you are going at. You can be afraid of how low you are. And so it represents a story.”

5. She Is Active Outdoors

When Milie isn’t working, she can often be found outdoors. A few of her favorite activities? Spending time on the beach and scuba diving. “bye buddy, i hope you find your dad !” she captioned this image. "Whatever activity you choose, do it regularly. Aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity — preferably spread throughout the week," says the Mayo Clinic.

Kira— you are a genius.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Candace Cameron Bure stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Prioritizes Exercise

Bure tells The Salvation Army that she makes working out a priority in her life. "Just sweating that out and all those endorphins really help me a lot. I notice a huge difference when I don’t exercise, how much it can affect me mentally and kind of deal with depression. That's why I keep going. There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that."

2. She Jumps Rope

Bure likes to jump rope. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing it, captioning it, “First, whips hurt. Second, this is the first time doing 12 double-unders in a row. Whoo Hoo! Does a jump in between still make it count? Just say YES 👍🏼! I’m learning 😜. #jumprope - P.S. some people have said my rope is too long, however I ordered a rope for exactly my height. When I stand on it, it comes just underneath my armpit- which is where it should land. Still think it’s too long?”

3. She Does Push-Ups

Bure shared some of her favorite exercises with Parade. She says that there’s one exercise that she goe to a lot. "I swear by push-ups,” Bure revealed. “Wide grip, tricep, dolphin, inclined, declined, you name it. My arms, shoulders, and back have really changed from constantly doing them.”

Bure makes sure to eat healthy. She opened up about her diet in an interview with People. “I eat a very plant and grain-based diet,” she said. “I follow a more Mediterranean diet, so I eat lots of fresh vegetables and whole grains and fish. I don’t eat dairy very often, and I’ve cut most of the sugar out of my diet — I see the biggest effect from not eating as much sugar.”

5. She Works With A Trainer

As you can see from her post, Bure works with a trainer. According to ACE Fitness, training has a lot of benefits. “Working with a trainer allows you to become confident with how to perform exercises, use machines and navigate the facility. After a few sessions, you will feel ready to tackle the weight room on your own. Even better, an ego boost during exercise can promote stronger self-confidence and self-efficacy, which can help you stick with your exercise program over the long term.”

Gellar always tries to get a workout in. However, she isn’t afraid to take a day off when she needs it. She tells Self that she takes days off when she feels run-down or tired. "I do whatever I can whenever I can, but if I'm tired, it's okay to just be tired," she says. "Your brain needs a rest now and then. Research has found that taking breaks can improve your mood, boost your performance and increase your ability to concentrate and pay attention," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Cooks

Gellar is an avid chef. She loves to cook meals for her family. She tells Express that she increased the amount of cooking she has done when the pandemic hit. “One of the good things that’s come out of Covid is that we’ve had lots of time to cook our favourite food because nobody is racing to get home in time for dinner.”

3. She Cool-Sculpts

After having her second child, Gellar found it hard to lose the baby weight. She revealed to Express that she worked out a lot, but still couldn’t lose it. She says that this, and her busy schedule are what made her decide to try Cool-Sculpting. “I just got to lie on a comfy table and read my book. The treatment didn’t hurt, it just felt cold for a few seconds and then I didn’t feel anything. It was very peaceful. I was just happy to have a few minutes to myself, and then I got to leave feeling better about myself – a win-win.”

4. She’s Motivated By Her Clothes

Gellar doesn’t like to weigh herself. She tells Express that she looks to how her clothes fit to motivate her. “I don’t weigh myself, I don’t measure myself, but I could tell within a week how my clothing was feeling and fitting, how my jeans were buttoning back up,” she reveals. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna go to the gym and work even harder now.’ It gave me my confidence back in such an easy and noninvasive way.”

5. She Makes Green Juices

Gellar revealed some of her wellness secrets to WhoWhatWear. She says that she likes to make green juices before she works out, and revealed her recipe to the website. “I go every weekend to the farmers market and I get fresh kale, spinach, celery, and lettuces and I blend it all together. That's my favorite thing before I work out.” "Fiber is important to heart health, digestive health and weight control. Higher fiber intakes reduce chronic disease risk, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and come cancers, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. High fiber intakes have also been associated with lower body weight. Daily fiber recommendations include 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. Just one cup of cooked spinach contains more than 4 grams of fiber," says the University of Rhode Island.
