Ilary Blasi in Two-Piece Workout Gear Enjoys "Yoga Time"

Tia Blanco is a successful surfer. She is also a big fan of doing yoga. Blanco is making sure to do yoga each day. In April, she shared a video on Instagram of herself doing poses. Blanco captioned the post, “Daily yoga challenge 🧘‍♀️ Handstand ➡️ Standing Splits ➡️ Dancers Pose.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tia Blanco stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Yoga

Blanco does a lot of yoga, and according to Harvard Health, this has a lot of health benefits. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance. Yoga studios typically don't have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather than how a pose — or the people around them — looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.”

2. She’s Vegan

Blanco is a vegan. She talked about her diet in an interview with Outside Online. “I eat a balanced vegan diet rich with nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes. Even the quinoa I eat is rich in protein. I like protein shakes because I like the taste of them, not because I’m protein-starved.”

3. She Prepares Her Own Food

Blanco likes to prepare her own food. She talked about this with Forks Over Knives. “I started adopting my mom’s love for cooking when I started traveling to compete. She and my mema taught me a lot about cooking, and I’m really thankful for them. I love preparing raw foods and cooked foods, [but] I would say that the way I eat really depends on the weather. For example, in the summer I’m eating more fruits, and in the winter I’m eating more hearty foods and veggie soups.”

4. She Does Core Workouts

Blanco makes sure to work her abs. She shared her favorite workouts in this Instagram post. Blanco captioned the post, “Core burnout today 🥵 15 side dips (each side). 15 side, reach throughs (each side). 10 Superman plank crunches (each side). 10 plank seesaws. 10 shoulder taps (each side). 1 min plank hold. 10 plank reaches during last part of plank hold. 15 reverse crunches. 30 bicycle crunches.”

5. She Works Her Legs

In order to ride the waves, Blanco needs to have a strong lower body. She shared some of her favorite leg workouts in this Instagram post. Blanco captioned the post, “Thought I’d share one of my go to circuits that I sneak in during nap time 😜 1. 30lb kettlebell deadlifts 15x. 2. 30lb sumo squats 15x. 3. Squat w lateral leg raise 10x each leg. 4. Standing hip extension 10x each leg (optional 10 sec hold). 5. Donkey kick with band 15x each leg. 6. 20lb Hip thrust 10x (optional 10 sec hold). 7. Two 10lb split squats 10 each leg. Repeat 3 times.”

Lady Gaga's "JAZZ & PIANO" Las Vegas residency was recently in full swing and the singer had been performing her greatest hits in sexy vintage-inspired looks, including a red see-through fringed beaded gown with a high slit that showed off her super strong legs and toned lower body. Gaga has been sharing pics of her stunning costumes for her latest tour and she looks incredible. So what's her fitness secret? Yoga! The Born This Way singer has been a yogi for years and often shows off her skills. Earlier this year, the 37-year-old posted an image of her doing a headstand in tight blue workout pants with the caption, "Rollin’ into Monday like" and often shares how she stays in such great shape. Read on.

1. She Loves Hot Yoga

Hot yoga isn't just good for staying in shape but has health benefits like greater lung capacity, helps improve depression, improved circulation, and more. In addition to regular yoga, Gaga enjoys sweating while engaging in her favorite poses. A few years back, she posted a photo of her doing hot yoga and wrote, "Workout #2 today hot yoga with @sloaner7 and Mariana in ChiTown #dontstoptillyougetenough"

2. She Does Yoga in the Pool

Gaga is such a pro at yoga, she can do it anywhere, including a pool. She posted a pic of her on a paddleboard in the pool demonstrating her balance. "What a wonderful day, Swimming Pool Yoga!," she wrote.

3. She Does Gyrotonics

When she's not in downward dog, the award-winning actress with gyrotonics, a circular movement that stimulates the nervous system, increases range of motion and improves strength and movement efficiency. Gaga's instructor, Lisa Marie Goodwin, a certified Pilates teacher, was on her Enigma tour and posted a video of the star doing the move before a show.

4. She Has a Healthy Diet

To help ensure she eats healthy on tour, Gaga has her personal chef and childhood friend Bo O'Connor whipping up delicious, but nutritional meals. For lunch or dinner, the singer will have "something like quinoa with black beans, grilled shrimp, beautiful veggies," O'Conner told Self. "We want it to be healthy, tasty, filling, nutritious, and full of fiber. I really focus on meals that are good in taste but also healthy for your body. What we eat is what our bodies are. Being on tour or just performing all of the time, it’s exhausting. Being able to provide your body with good nutrients, including those that are in vegetables and fruit, is everything."

5. She Eats Healthy Versions and Unhealthy Food

If Gaga isn't feeling vegetables one day and wants a burger, O'Connor has a solution. "We’d deviate a bit. If she wanted a burger and fries, we wouldn’t be doing fast food. So instead, I’d make her a turkey burger, gluten-free, lots of spices, and baked sweet potato fries. At least she’s feeling that she can indulge a little bit and have something similar to a real burger but is still good for you."

I love taking classes to switch it up, so I'll do a dancing class or a twerk class. I'm not kidding. It's actually a really great workout. After 10 minutes of twerking, your thighs and your butt feel it right away. [Laughs] But it's so much fun.”

2. She Works With A Trainer

He has me doing push-ups, squats, crunches, lifting free weights, jumping rope and all that stuff.” The Australian Institute of Fitness states that trainers have a lot of benefits. “Having an educated personal trainer beside you to demonstrate the correct posture and technique is invaluable. A personal trainer will ensure clients are performing exercises correctly and efficiently, in order to maximise results.”

3. She Makes Time For Herself

No matter how busy Justice gets, she always makes time for herself. She shared her favorite ways to unwind in her Health Magazine interview. “I try to meditate every day. It's important to take that time, even if it's just 10 minutes, to block everything out and get grounded again. And I love to lie on my hammock and read things that are inspirational and motivational, whether it's a self-help book or an autobiography.”

4. She Takes Supplements

I take fish oil every single day, as well as vitamin D, magnesium, B complex, vitamin C. I drink lots of water, and I've been trying to do daily wheatgrass shots, but they're awful and I have to plug my nose. We also have this shake in my house that we pretty much have every morning. It's made of rice milk, bananas, Udo's oil and protein powder. I've been drinking it ever since I was little.”

Justice revealed to HollywoodLife that she likes to practice yoga. “My sister has gotten me into hot yoga. So yeah it’s tough. It was really not my thing in the beginning. And I still am in the classes sometimes and I’m like, ‘Why am I doing this? Why am I here right now?’ But it’s… You always leave feeling better. But yesterday we did a class and I had to step out ’cause I was just… I was that one person that was like, Nope, can’t take it. But when it’s over, you always feel like, ‘Oh, your muscles, they’re relaxed and it’s so good.’”

3. She Works Out With Others

Zinta doesn’t always like to workout alone. She is often seen working out with a trainer or friend. Zinta shared this gym video on Instagram of herself working with someone else.

She captioned the post, “Back to the gym. After going out non stop for a week. It’s time to calm down & work on my core.” The Mayo Clinic states that ab and core workouts are important. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between. Check out all of these physical benefits of hiking: Building stronger muscles and bones. Improving your sense of balance. Improving your heart health. Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.”
