Hoda Kotb is rising and exercising in her workout gear. In a new social media post the TODAY anchor shows off her fit figure while sharing an inspiring workout message with her followers. "OK, I've been slacking on my workouts lately 'cause there's no time, I keep telling myself. But you know what? I woke up and told myself today, 'Today's the day. Today's the day. Today's the day,'" she says in the Instagram video. "So we restart, OK? Let's do it. You got it. Get up and then think, 'Today's the day,'" she continued. "I wanted to hit snooze, I really did. Glad I didn't. Alright, let's give it a go today. Go get 'em.” How does the morning show host approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Exercise Daily – at 3:00 AM

“The thing I have to do each day is exercise, whether it’s a walk in Central Park or a workout,” Hoda told First for Women. Why are morning workouts a good idea? Exercising in the morning may boost heart health benefits, a 2022 study determined, while another study tied morning sweat sessions to better sleep and psychological function. A third study published in Obesity linked morning workouts to a lower BMI compared to those who worked out in the afternoon or evening.

2. Meditating

Hoda also gets her zen on. "I've started meditating," she told Hello in 2023. "Never, in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would meditate. I can't sit still. I thought, 'this isn't for me'." She manages to slip in sessions despite her busy schedule. "If I want to get a little pick me up, I can meditate when my girls have ballet. It's 45 minutes when I can't watch them. So, they're in a room and I'm sat outside. All of a sudden, I was like, 'Oh my gosh. I'm doing this. I'm doing this right now.’” She is a big believer in the benefits. "I didn't realize that when your mind quiets you get this clarity and the energy. I didn't know it worked that way. But it really does."

3. Lemon-Ginger Tea

“Every morning, I make a lemon-ginger tea with a bunch of real lemons squeezed in it and a ginger cube — those frozen ones they have at Trader Joe’s,” Hoda told First for Women. “They’re sold in a tiny ice tray, and each one has a ginger cube in it. I just pop it in with hot water, and before I start my day, I’ll drink that or pour it over ice. I don’t know what it does, but it makes me feel alive, great, clearer!”

4. Spin Class

Hoda loves cycling. “I do ‘Sundays with Love’ spin bike classes, which are exercise but with an inspirational element thrown in. They make me feel strong, connected and alive!” she told First for Women.

5. Outdoor Workouts

Hoda loves outdoor exercise, like walking. “And I like being outside. When you’re in a gym, it doesn’t have the same effect. But being outside and seeing life — it feeds the soul and the body!” she told First.

6. Conscious Snacking

Kotb packs healthy snacks – like Life Savers and grapes – in plastic bags, as recommended by Today show nutritionist Joy Bauer. "This is in between meals," she said. "You don't realize how much grazing and eating weird things that you're doing and I was counting things and she said, 'Well how many of those do you eat?' And I said, 'Usually a handful.' So I threw a handful in. So all day long, I was supposed to put everything in between meals in this bag," she said on TODAY.

Monica McNutt, the dynamic ESPN host, is not only a force in sports broadcasting but also a dedicated advocate of fitness and wellness. Through her social media, McNutt shares her workout routines, diet tips, and self-care practices, offering a glimpse into how she stays in top shape while balancing a busy career. From kettlebell workouts to mixing up her fitness regimen, McNutt emphasizes the importance of finding what works best for your body. Her dedication to health extends beyond the gym as she embraces the Whole30 diet and takes time for self-care. Whether it's a tough workout session or celebrating with friends, McNutt’s holistic approach to wellness ensures she lives a balanced, fulfilling life.


1. She Loves Kettlebell Workouts

In a recent Instagram video, wearing cute black workout shorts and a grey and back cropped top, McNutt shows off her impressive kettlebell skills.“Workout thoughts bc summer was incredible,” she wrote. “The bells are still a thing. Missed them & my KB friends, thx for the extra work & extra support.” Kettlebell exercises are popular because you can target a lot of different muscles. “Kettlebell training provides a low-impact, full-body workout that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health,” according to Shape.

2. She Does Whole30

Earlier this year, McNutt shared she was doing the Whole30 program and wrote, “January means the @whole30 tribe taps in. 😂😂 10/10 still recommend even through the craziness of travel.” The Whole30 diet eliminates grains, alcohol, dairy, baked goods, legumes, and added sugar (natural or artificial) to identify food sensitives for 30 days. After 10 days, you slowly reintroduce the eliminated items one at a time to see which foods are problematic to your health. You don’t restrict calorories or monitor food portions. Meals will consist of meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables and healthy fats.

3. She Beleives in Self-Care

“Self-care time is also fitness time,” McNutt said in a video last year where she’s seen doing a variety of movements with a kettlebell, including one-legged rows and lunges with presses. “I’m big on Wellness & know that looks different for everybody,” she wrote. “Personally a good gym session is part of my wellness equation but that doesn’t mean you always love it in midst of it. S/o to @saneetarenee for helping me work off the week on Friday. Make time to take care of yourself, y’all. Be good to you.”

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

While McNutt loves kettlebell exercises, she mixes up her routine to work different muscles and prevent her workout from getting stale and having a lesser impact. “2024 I’m obsessed with these squat swings 😤 the power off these into the snatch was crazy,” she wrote in a video of her doing a workout.

5. She Celerates with Friends

The stunning ESPN host looks incredible and showed off her hard work in the gym on a recent girls' trip to the Dominican Republic. There, she was seen having a great time and enjoying friends, which can greatly impact your overall health. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Adults with strong social connections have a reduced risk of many significant health problems, including depression, high blood pressure, and an unhealthy body mass index.”

1. She “Worked Every Day” to Lose Her Baby Weight

Spotlight: Meghan TrainorRebecca Sapp/Getty Images

Meghan revealed to Entertainment Tonight Canada that when she gave birth to her first son Riley, she was at her “heaviest” and it impacted her emotionally and physically. “I was my heaviest I've ever been, I was like over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out. I just wasn't feeling great”’ she said. “I've never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place and I wanted to be in a great place for my son,” she added. To lose the weight, “I worked every day and challenged myself,” she continued. “I was like, ‘If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!’ I was very dedicated, and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time, one pound… I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I’m just [feeling] better than ever.”

2. Her Son Motivates Her

Her biggest motivation to get into shape was her son. “I want to run and keep up with my kid. I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and run out there and not be in my head about it. And I want to climb up a treehouse with him,” she told PEOPLE. “I've lost all the baby weight and 10 extra lbs., so I'm just going to keep going and do this for my younger self.”

3. She Lost One Pound Per Week

Megan told PEOPLE that she had a slow and steady approach to weight loss. “I did it the healthy way, the long way, the one pound a week way. And it's a proud accomplishment that I never thought I could ever do,” she said.

4. She Works Out with a Person Trainer

Meghan has been working with Rebecca Stanton (@rebeccabroxfit) for years. The two do everything from simple strength and weight training to HIIT style workouts.

5. Her Husband Is Her Workout Buddy and Fitspiration

In 2018, Meghan told Entertainment Tonight that her husband, Daryl Sabara, is her workout buddy. “He really changed my life. He showed me how working out can be fun. I didn't believe it, but now it's true and it feels so good when you're sore -- I love that feeling now, I'm addicted to it,” she said. “He cooks for me and taught me to cook. I never knew how to cook. He taught me, like, secrets how to make your food taste great but also be healthy for you.”

6. She Eats Smaller Portions

Meghan maintains that it isn’t just what she eats – but how much of it – that is crucial to weight loss. “I learned what portions mean. I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time,” she said.

Read on to see 5 ways Maya Jama 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 Early When Filming

“When I’m away filming, I try to wake up early so I can fit in a workout before arriving on set. It helps get me in the zone,” she has said. “Early-morning cardiovascular workouts are well-supported to improve concentration and energy for the rest of the day. They also may have the added benefit of improving sleep quality for some people,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Think of something that will really get you moving every day. Maybe it takes posting a picture from your healthier days on the fridge. Or perhaps you wish to keep up with the kids. Whatever it may be, make sure it gets you moving each and every time.”

2. This is How Often She Works Out

“'I have loads of energy so lately I’ve been trying to channel that into an exercise routine. But I’m still very much a beginner. I now work out three to four days a week because I know it’s an important part of keeping healthy,” she said, according to Women’s Health. “Here's what the research says: A single exercise session that gets your heartrate up can lower blood pressure, improve sleep, lower anxiety and improve insulin sensitivity on the day you do it. Other benefits, like lowering your risk of many chronic diseases and cancers, start adding up within days or weeks of regular physical activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Regular activity sets you up to stay independent as you age, and lowers your risk of fall-related injuries. For many people with chronic conditions, it can lower your risk of all-cause and disease-specific mortality.”

3. She Lifts Weights

Maya lifts weights to feel strong. “I love feeling strong, but I’m not naturally like that. From an early age I’d be trying to use my mum’s weight to do deep squats and build bigger legs,” Maya says to Stylist UK. “In the first lockdown, I lived with friends and we all worked out together. It was good because when one person wasn’t feeling it, the others would get you in the mood,” Maya adds. “It’s harder, now I’m on my own.”

4. She Incorporates Fitness Into Her Daily Life

“Every morning I put good music on and dance around my bedroom or run up and down the stairs. I’ve found wearing ankle weights really useful, putting on thick socks and weights while I do my daily activities for some extra resistance. And I’ve got a bike in front of my TV so I can jump on that when I’m watching something,” Maya told Stylist UK.

5. She Does Squats

“Once you are at the bottom of your squat, check your form in the mirror. Are you sitting parallel to the floor? As you stand up, push your heels into the ground to generate a greater force. This is especially helpful once you start adding more weight. Focus on squeezing your glutes at the top of the squat as you come back to a standing position. Look straight ahead to help keep your shoulders back and your back straight while performing the squat,” says ACE Fitness.

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.”

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.

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.”

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?

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.
