Jessica does everything from calming, strengthening yoga to hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro to bring attention to the global water crisis. Regardless of what exercise she’s prioritizing at the moment, the actress puts her athleticism first according to her interview with the Los Angeles Times. “I did a lot of walking with a 30-pound backpack on an incline. I also tried to spend as much time in altitude as I possibly could, which was really key. Altitude really affects you in weird ways.”

2. Healthy Habits Were Ingrained at a Young Age

Her love of sports came as she was growing up when she did gymnastics, soccer, dance, and more. She even partially owes her relaxed demeanor in front of the camera to being comfortable in her own skin and gaining confidence through sports as a child. “I’m aware of how my muscles feel, what it feels like when anything changes. Playing sports and being physical helps me maintain that sort of relationship with my own body. So when I’m doing something or performing in a physical role, I understand that,” Jessica explained to ESPN.

3. A Body in Motion Stays in Motion

Jessica is always in motion, from her workouts, to floor exercises like headstands and squats, to hiking in Hollywood with her family. The Fitness Reaper broke down her routine, and if she’s not working out, she’s doing fun, but active, activities with friends or family, running to appointments, and outside moving around. She’s training using different cardio techniques involving high intensity interval training, squats, jumps, and more drills to chisel her body.

4. She Focuses on a Wide Variety of Workouts

“Yoga’s not about competition,”Jessica said. “And I think so many of these fitness routines that we love, like classes, whether it’s on a bike or it’s a circuit thing, or whatever it is, I feel like you’re always kind of being compared to your neighbor, like ‘Come on! Let’s do it!’ and everyone’s yelling at you or screaming at you, and that’s great, and that’s fun sometimes. But when you’re on your mat, it’s you, and that’s it.” With yoga, she also adds in some resistance training to build up strength and balance.

5. She Lives an Active Lifestyle

More times than not when you read about the stars and their fitness habits, it’s a grueling process. For Jessica, it is really a way of life that she actually enjoys doing. In addition to running and circuit strength training, Jessica prioritizes fun games with her friends like beach volleyball or even football as a way to stay active and socialize.

Heidi Klum is soaking up the sun during the last month of summer – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the supermodel flaunts her amazing figure in a tiny string bikini while vacationing with her husband, Tom Kaulitz. “☀️🐠👙🏝️🍹🥰❤️🔥,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken by him. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Klum detailed her diet to Women’s Health UK. For breakfast she might have 3 organic scrambled egg whites with spinach, green peppers, spring onions and parsley, a small bowl of fresh fruit and tea without milk. For lunch, 170g of turkey with 90g basmati rice or 170g quinoa and stir-fried vegetables. Dinner might be 170g of salmon with lemon and garlic and a mixed green salad with broccoli florets and cucumber dressed with 1 tbsp of olive oil. And for dessert, Yogurt, fresh sorbet, or 70% cocoa dark chocolate.

2. Low Carb Diet

“For me, it’s more about food than exercising. I’m not huge on carbs, even though that’s probably one of my favorite foods – French fries, pasta, all that stuff,” she told Vogue Australia. “But I try to stay away from that. I eat pretty healthily. We make smoothies every morning with any kind of fruit and carrots. Not with powders or anything like that.” She also chooses food carefully. “I eat quite a lot,” she previously told site Buro 24/7. “I just eat the right things.” Overall she tries to maintain variety. “Every day we cook something different,” she added to Women’s Health UK.

3. Mixing Up Workouts

When it comes to exercise, you might find Klum hiking, trampolining, yoga, circuit training and tennis. “I don’t really exercise that much,” she confessed. “I don’t think you have to do a lot, but if you do a little bit [regularly], I think that’s important.”

4. Workout Buddies

When it comes to exercise, don’t do it alone! “My best advice,” Klum told Glamour, “is to workout with a buddy. They keep you motivated and get you out of bed.”

5. Running

Running is a big part of Klum’s approach to exercise. “Most women do like a summer season when they get ready for the beach. I don’t do that because I shoot all year round, so nothing really changes for me. I go running two to three times a week,” she told Vogue Australia. 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.

Cindy Crawford, the legendary model, is doing some light reading, and happens to know the author: fellow supermodel Claudia Schiffer. “Casual afternoon reading 📚👠 Congrats on the new book Captivate, @claudiaschiffer!” she captioned a photo of herself in a swimsuit perusing the pages. Schiffer’s book Captivate is a curation of fashion photography from the 1990s, the “golden age of the global supermodel.” How does Crawford look so fit? (She’s 56, turning 57 on February 20!) Read on to see 7 ways Cindy Crawford stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Learned How to Be Healthy Out Of Necessity

“I was raised in DeKalb, Illinois, and while I didn’t grow up eating a lot of processed food, I wouldn’t exactly say we had a healthy diet—I thought all vegetables should be served with cheese melted on top. When I moved to New York and started living on my own, I realized that in order to fit in the sample sizes, I had to figure out how to take care of myself,” she told W. “It started with exercise.”

2. She’s 80% Good 80% of the Time

“Even though aerobics were the exercise of choice for most of my friends, I found a trainer in N.Y. named Radu. He taught me how to exercise and feel strong. I think when you are working out that hard, it’s natural to want to carry over that good feeling by eating healthy. I started reading books and sometimes following more 'fad' diets, but eventually I figured out what works for me. Besides avoiding “bad” carbs such as white bread etc., I try to be 80 percent good 80 percent of the time. I feel like that’s an achievable balance,” she told W.

3. She Does Pilates

Pilates works your core using a very specific sensibility and tools. Crawford does it a few times a week. “From small weights to bands and blocks to the ‘magic circle,’ a ring-shaped piece of equipment that offers a level of resistance for various exercises, there are a number of tools used for various Pilates exercises,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Conversely, there are relatively few pieces of equipment that are necessary for yoga beyond the typical mat and yoga blocks. Other pieces of equipment, like yoga straps, are also occasionally used but the total amount is far less than with Pilates.”

4. She Does Strength Training

Muscles burn fat, so building your muscles is core to any lean figure. Want an example of strength training? As an example: "Consider adding a Step Up with biceps curl into shoulder press,” says Eat This, Not That! For Abs author Mark Langowski. “Grab a set of dumbbells that are 50% of your max weight for biceps curl or shoulder press. So if you use 30 lb’s to do biceps curls, use 15 lbs here! Stand holding the weights at your side, feet about a foot apart, with a bench or 2-foot-high box about two feet in front of you. Step onto the box with your right leg and, and as you step up, curl the weights up so they are in front of your shoulders. Now lift your left leg onto the box and, when both feet are on top of the box, press the weights over your head. Step down and repeat the exercise, now with your left leg stepping up. Total of 16 reps. (8 each leg)"

5. She Hits the Treadmill

"Begin by doing your workout on a treadmill. Over time, as you learn how your body reacts and what each level of intensity feels like, you can begin to take the workout outdoors or transfer it to a bike or other type of workout equipment," says Langowski. Consider the following intervals as you get your feet wet:

Duration: 0-3 minutes, speed 3.5, incline 8

Duration: 3-6 minutes, speed 6.5, incline 0

Duration: 6-7 minutes, speed 3.8, incline 15

Duration: 7-8 minutes, speed 7.5, incline 0

Duration: 8-10 minutes, speed 6.0, incline 3

Duration: 10-11 minutes, speed 3.8, incline 15

Duration: 11-12 minutes, speed 7.5, incline 0

Duration: 12-15 minutes, speed 3.8, incline 15

6. This is Her Skincare Routine

Crawford created the Meaningful Beauty line to care for her skin. “Part of the reason I created Meaningful Beauty was to have a simple skincare routine that I knew was giving me everything I needed. Nothing much has changed during these pandemic days. I always use the Youth Activating Melon Serum (and now eye serum) and then top off with Meaningful Beauty Anti-aging Day crème with Environmental Protection—this protects my skin from blue light exposure from all my Zoom calls) and of course an SPF of 30,” she told W.
