Giulia Arena first made waves when she won the 2013 Miss Italia pageant. Since then, she’s become a successful actress, TV host, and model. Arena recently took a trip to the Maldives. She shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. In them, Arena is seen in a white swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Native habitat.”


Biking

Giulia enjoys cycling. During her trip to the Maldives Giulia went bike riding. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Reading

Giulia is also a fan of books. In the Maldives, she took some time to relax and read. 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.

Snorkeling

Giulia snorkels, recently discovering the “Sea Lung,” she revealed in a post. “It reaches 60cm long with a weight of almost 10kg, and represents the largest medusa of the Mediterranean. I don’t know why, but I have always experienced the charm of Jellyfish: creatures that are essentially simple and yet capable of surviving entire geological epochs floating, light and slow, between the currents. She, remains one of the most beautiful sights of this summer.” Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Coffee

Giulia is a coffee drinker. She especially likes shots of espresso. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Yoga

Giulia is a yogi. Here she is doing yoga. There are many reasons to do yoga, according to 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.”

1. She Loves Pilates

Back in the day Ambrosio would be "off to Pilates class, where I meet a friend and get in some girl time. It's important to break a sweat every day, and I love the way Pilates makes me feel long and lean." “As human beings, we are creatures of habit, We walk a certain way, we take the steps a certain way, we stand a certain way and we sit at our desk a certain way. So our muscles get imbalanced because of overuse and what Pilates does is help to counteract that,” says the Cleveland Clinic’s lead yoga therapist Judi Bar.

2. She’s Done the Tracy Anderson Method

"I am very focused and want to be in tip-top shape for the show, so I try to go [to the Tracy Anderson Method] almost every day of the week. Besides that, I [do] yoga, play volleyball on the beach, and take my kids swimming. I just love being outside," she told PopSugar.

3. She Uses Kettlebells

“In an ACE-sponsored study, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse concluded that, in addition to the predicted strength gains, kettlebell training improved core strength and dynamic balance, and increased aerobic capacity. With such a diverse increase in specific exercise markers, it’s no wonder kettlebell training continues to grow in popularity,’ says ACE.

4. This Has Been Her Daily Beauty Routine

“My daily routine is simple but effective. I cleanse my face, occasionally with exfoliator, and I love anti-aging serums that are packed full of vitamin C. BB creams with SPF are great too! How do you take care of your hair? About two or three times a week, after I've shampooed my hair, I apply an ultra-reparative mask from the tips to the lengths and leave it on for ten minutes. Every two months, I go to a salon for a deeply nourishing treatment that leaves my hair feeling fantastic,” she told Vogue France.

5. This is How She Slimmed Down

Back in the Victoria’s Secret days, “About a month before the show I cut out all carbs, and then the week before I stick to just vegetables, salads, fruit and a lot of protein,” she told Vogue. “Cruciferous veggies are loaded with water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Namely, they are packed with vitamin C, A, E, and K. Vitamin C assists in collagen formation, keeping your hair, skin, and nails growing healthily. Fat-soluble vitamins A, E, K work together to support our immune system and promote anti-aging. Eat a variety of these veggies and they will keep you looking and feeling healthy for years to come,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

Provvedi doesn’t strive for perfection. She encourages other women to have the same mindset in many of her Instagram posts. “Perfection does not exist, but you live very well anyway. Don’t be fooled by the filters, by the posture that improves the flaw, always love each other without being afraid to show your body. We love you women,” she wrote in one of them.

2. She Takes “Me” Time

Provvedi understands the importance of taking me time. When she went through a very public breakup, she opened up about how she needed to take a second for herself. “After such an important relationship you need to have time to metabolize,” she told Novella 2000. “I'm not the one who wanted to dive into someone else's arms so as not to experience moments of melancholy."

3. Her Workouts Are Grueling

Giulia exercises like a pro! She shared one of her workout videos on Instagram and it was no joke. She started with cardio and then continued to do a variety of strength training exercises and even used a trampoline.

4. She Is a Yogi

According to reports, Giulia is a yogi. “ I teach yoga because it makes me happy and because the daily confrontation with my students enriches me on many,” she said.

5. She Went Under the Knife

According to reports Giulia and her sister Silvia both underwent plastic surgery. The twins opted to get breast enhancements, claiming that after losing weight, they needed more volume. "Breast augmentation — also known as augmentation mammoplasty — is surgery to increase breast size. It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles," says the Mayo Clinic. "For some women, breast augmentation is a way to feel more confident. For others, it's part of rebuilding the breast for various conditions. If you're considering breast augmentation, talk to a plastic surgeon. Make sure you understand what surgery involves, including possible risks, complications and follow-up care."

Cuban actress Livia Brito got famous in the telenovela Triunfo del amor but her life recently has been a little more drama-free: she was relaxing on the beach. “Escaparme y divertirme en la playa es de lo que más disfruto en la vida… nunca pierdan a su niñ@ interior y no dejen de disfrutar cada instante que nos regala la vida mis bebés. ¿Qué les gusta hacer en la playa? #liviabrito #playa #sol #arena #mar #diversion #vacaciones,” she wrote.

1. She Works Out Her Core

According to the Cleveland Clinic: “If you’re planning to start an exercise program and wondering where to begin, start with your core first, says physical therapist Brittany Smith, DPT. People often think of the core muscles as being the abdominal muscles, but the core includes the muscles in the abdomen, back and hips, all working together as a group.” “The core muscles provide stability for the entire body as it moves,” says Smith. “These muscles are activated when you stand up, turn, bend, reach, twist, stoop and move in most other ways. Everything starts with your core.”

2. She Hits the Gym

Livia has been seen in YouTube videos at the gym. Good call. “Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.”

3. She Uses Aloe Vera as a Skin Purifier

The 22nd Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards - ArrivalsDenise Truscello/Getty Images for The Latin Recording Academy

“Aloe is a cactus-like plant that grows in hot, dry climates. It is cultivated in subtropical regions around the world, including the southern border areas of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California,” says the NIH. “Clinical research suggests that topical application of an aloe-based gel twice daily (along with medical soap and tretinoin gel) may improve acne.”

4. She Works Out All Her Muscle Groups

'Medicos' TV Series PresentationMedios y Media/Getty Images

In her gym videos, Livia works out each muscle group individually. “Warm up with five to 10 minutes of stretching or brisk walking. Then choose a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after 12 to 15 repetitions,” says the Mayo Clinic. “With the proper weight, a single set of 12 to 15 repetitions can build muscle efficiently in most people and can be as effective as multiple sets of the same exercise.”

5. She Likes Lean Proten

Livia says salmon is a go-to protein, and egg whites. “Because our bodies can't produce omega-3 fatty acids by itself, it is an essential nutrient we need. Omega-3 fatty acids are a class of polyunsaturated fats, which are great for heart health, eye health, brain health, hormone production, immune function, and heart and lung support. A typical 3 oz. fillet of salmon will give you almost 2.2 grams (2198 milligrams) of omega-3 fatty acids. This gives you a sufficient amount of omega-3 fatty acids you need in a day because the recommended daily intake (RDI) is around 250 to 500 milligrams for an average person,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

Argentinian actress Flavia Palmiero is never afraid to show off her body, especially if it's in a bathing suit she designed. Palmiero posted a stunning photo to Instagram of herself posing on the beach. We translated the caption: "There is no end to the sea!" it says. "The connection is infinite! That is why I chose to design my swimsuits! We are here to enjoy them! Today in my Ibiza leopard with red. An icon of our brand! @flaviapalmierocollection is in stores!" She added the hashtag #felizverano, or Happy Summer. How does she stay so fit while having a business? Read on to see 5 ways Flavia Palmiero 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 Works Out Her Arms

Palmiero has posted a lot of her at-home workouts on her Instagram TV. In one of her workout videos, she revealed her upper body and arm workouts. She is seen using hand weights, doing bicep and tricep curls.

2. She Works Out Her Legs

In another of Palmiero’s at home Instagram TV workouts, she takes her followers through her leg and lower body workouts. She’s seen doing leg lifts on her side, donkey kicks, candlesticks, and scissor kicks.

3. She Dances

Red Carpet - Platino Awards 2017Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images

Palmiero is an avid dancer and has posted several videos on Instagram of herself busting a move. She even does dance inspired workouts, usually with the company Endorfin Dance. Dancing isn’t just a great way to get moving, it’s also good for your mental health. According to WebMD, “Dance is an effective type of exercise that raises your heart rate and works your muscles. Exercise can help with symptoms of depression and anxiety by releasing certain chemicals in your brain. It also provides a way to escape repetitive negative thoughts and worries. These are thoughts that run through your mind over and over.”

4. She Hits The Beach

Palmiero is a big fan of going to the beach to get her daily dose of Vitamin D. She has posted several photos of herself on Instagram enjoying a beach day.

5. She Loves Veggies

Palmiero is a big fan of eating vegetables, and cooking with them. She has shared several recipes with her followers on Instagram, one of which contains cooked cherry tomatoes with oil. Tomatoes are a great veggie to incorporate into your diet: they are "underrated powerhouses when it comes to nutritional benefits, and they don't get the superfood status they've surely earned," says our sister site Eat This, Not That!. "One of the reasons why we're such big fans of tomatoes is because eating them can result in one major side effect you can't really get by eating any other popular foods: fending off cellular-damaging free radicals thanks to tomatoes' high levels of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant."

“I've been doing a lot of Tracy Anderson now, and it's a lot of dancing cardio, and I love it. I'm obsessed with it. I have the best time, because the music is really loud and you don't really feel like you're working out. You feel like you're dancing and learning this cool dance move. So that's what I'm into now. Yeah. I might just put a DVD in my room and do all the—you know, look like a crazy woman!” she told E!.

4. She Says “Put Your Mind to It”

“I worked out extra hard after having kids," she told E!, “but it’s always hard when you have to diet and work out. Just put your mind to it.” The Mayo Clinic recommends “getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day and even more exercise for further health benefits and weight loss….It also emphasizes moving more throughout the day, such as taking the stairs instead of an elevator.”

5. Here’s Advice She Got From Her Fellow Angels

“We all discuss our workout routines when we are together right before the show. Since we are all different, we have different routines, but we all make sure to keep hydrated and eat nutritious meals.” They do agreeon one thing: “Usually after the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, all of us girls get together and eat pizza. Our pizza parties have become a tradition,” she added.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. 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.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. 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, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
