Danielle Knudson is looking cozy (and hot!) in Alo. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her stunning figure in a two-piece workout set from the athleisure brand, driving her followers wild. “In the coziest set,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️,” commented one of her followers. “Wow very very hot 🔥,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Minimal Processed Foods

Danielle tries to keep her diet as celan as possible. “I try to eat as little processed food as possible. I find the more natural it is the better. I also try to eat lean meats and fish that are full of healthy fats. I try to stay away from carbs too much because I need sustained energy throughout the day. Shoots can go from 8-16 hours straight of work. My biggest pleasure tends to be coffee and donuts (with sprinkles). I always add a few more abs and squats the next day to cover those cravings,” she told Women Fitness.

Lots Of Core Work

Danielle exercises "so I can look good naked,” she tells Women Fitness. “I focus a lot on my core work. Stabilizing a lot with longer more eccentric work to elongate and tone the muscles. I love holding isometric planks many times throughout the day. It's so easy and you can do it anywhere. I also do a lot of squats and lunges for my legs.”

TRX

She is also a fan of the TRX system. “I travel with a TRX as well because it's so portable. All these things turn any room or hotel room into my own personal gym,” she writes.

Pilates

Pilates is part of Danielle’s exercise strategy. “When I can in various cities I try to join Pilates and barre classes so I can surprise my body and keep on top of it. I always love a good challenge and try new things,” she says.

Nikki Metzger, a trailblazing fitness influencer and co-founder of BODI, is the epitome of strength and style. Known for blending high-energy workouts with a grounded approach to wellness, Metzger recently turned heads on Instagram, modeling a sleek black workout ensemble from her brand’s collection. In her post, she showcased her dynamic personality and commitment to fitness while emphasizing the importance of balance in life. From playing pickleball with her husband to incorporating pole workouts into her routine, Nikki proves that staying active can also be fun and empowering. Her ability to embrace her multifaceted nature—balancing fierce determination with playful creativity—sets her apart as a true fitness leader.

She Embraces All Sides of Herself

Metzger talked about embracing all sides of herself in the caption of this Instagram post. “Embracing my dual essence: merging the strength of a fierce boss babe with the allure of feminine grace. I have become more guarded over the years, and I crave a sense of openness, playfulness, and freedom that feels lost. As a business owner I have to operate with a lot of masculine get shit done energy, yet I crave to rekindle the soft sensuality that makes me feel the most like me. Adding dance into my life has been one of my favorite ways to reconnect to that side of me. Strength meets sensuality, power meets grace. You feel me?”

She Plays Pickleball

Metzger and her husband like to play pickleball together. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “I'm entering my pickleball era! Who wants to play w Nick and I? We had ourselves a little Thursday morning date! Dropped Mase off at school then walked over to the @phoenicianscottsdale for a pickleball lesson w/ @dinkpositive. Walked home and grabbed our cruisers and rode into oldtown and got breakfast @bcbreakfastclub *also we played on a pickelball court, I just took pics on the tennis court. Don’t come for me 🤣”

She Does Pole Workouts

Another thing that Metzger does to stay in shape is pole workouts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a routine. Metzger captioned it, “⚡️TRY NOT TO GET DIZZY 😜 3 months into pole and it has been an absolute blast being a beginner and challenging myself to something new! I got a long ways to go but that’s the fun part! Thanks to the ladies @purplepalacepolestudio for being my escape from work, life, stress 🥹🤍🙏🏼”

She Does TRX

Metzger shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. One thing she is seen doing is using TRX cables. These exercises have a lot of health benefits. NIFS states, “There are several benefits to using TRX in your workout. Science proves that it is effective in increasing muscular strength! Here are a few that really stick out: Incorporates nearly every muscle of the human body. If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects.”

Noelle Leyva is a model and influencer. She is known for her fitness content. Last month, she celebrated the holidays on Instagram. In a post, Leyva is seen in red sweats. She captioned it, “Can’t wait for Christmas.”

She Does Squats

Leyva shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. She included a video of herself doing squats. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats can improve your posture. “Poor posture can cause all kinds of problems, including back pain, neck pain, headaches and an overall lack of flexibility. But working your erector spinae muscles, like through squatting, can help strengthen them and improve your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

Leyva included a video of herself doing hamstring curls in her Instagram story highlight. Asphalt Green states that doing these can have a lot of benefits. “Hamstring curls are a great way to balance the muscles that you work when you’re doing leg extensions. This exercise is also good for people with sedentary jobs who don’t get a lot of walking in. Even pro cyclists can benefit from using this machine, since biking works the quads so heavily and doesn’t do as much for the hamstrings. With hamstring curls, you’re essentially doing the opposite motion to leg extensions. You’re exerting force by bending and pulling with your legs instead of pushing with them.”

She Strength Trains

Noelle Leyva is seen strength training.

In her Instagram story highlight, Leyva is seen doing strength training exercises like pushdowns and using weights. Strength training is very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls.”

She Does Cardio

Leyva revealed in her Instagram story that she likes to do cardio workouts. Cardio has a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “A good cardiovascular workout will have you consistently breathing faster than you would while resting. The result: More oxygen in your blood for your heart to pump to the rest of your body.”

She Does Pulldowns

Leyva is also seen doing lateral pulldowns in her Instagram story highlight. These have a lot of benefits. Piedmont says, “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

Megan Williams, a popular social media influencer, is no stranger to pushing boundaries and embracing challenges. Known for her chic workout outfits and adventurous spirit, Megan often shares glimpses of her active lifestyle on Instagram. Recently, she showcased her latest Alo workout ensemble—a sleek black bra, matching shorts, and a gray long-sleeve shirt. Beyond the style, Megan's dedication to fitness is evident in her diverse activities, from running marathons to hiking the Grand Canyon. “I feel my best when I try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone,” she shares. Whether it's swimming in the Mediterranean or playing tennis, Megan's approach to fitness reflects a commitment to both physical and mental growth, inspiring her followers to live boldly and stay active.

She Runs

Williams shares a lot of her favorite workouts on her Instagram. One thing she likes to do is run. Williams even ran the New York City Marathon. She shared this post on Instagram of her experience, captioning it, “NYC MARATHON!! Wow what an unforgettable day. 8 weeks ago when I got this opportunity, I had only ever really ran 5Ks. These last few weeks have been filled with pushing myself both mentally and physically, I really didn’t know if I could do it. But I have learnt every time I take on a new challenge I get far more back in return. I pretty much smiled my way around the 26.2 miles yesterday. NYC crowds are just sooooo incredible. I wanna say a huge thankyou to the number of strangers who cheered me on as well as my incredible friends who gave me so much energy! Feeling very proud and very grateful to @newbalance x @bambambaklava and especially @austinbensmith who assured me I could do it when I almost pulled out. 🩵”

She Swims

Williams likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself enjoying time by the water. Williams shared this post highlighting a trip she took to Europe. In it, she is seen going for a dip in the sea. Williams captioned the post, “European summer 🩵 the oh so blue Mediterranean.”

She Pushes Herself

Williams is always striving to push herself to try new things. One thing she tried was going scuba diving. Williams shared this photo on Instagram of her experience. She captioned the post, “It’s A-OK 👌 I’ve realized I feel my best when I try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. Things that scared me before. Sometimes it’s good to remember being scared should not get in your way of trying something new 🤍💙”

She Plays Tennis

Another thing that Williams likes to do to keep herself in shape is playing tennis. She shared this set of photos of herself on the court on Instagram. The Columbia Association states that tennis has a lot of benefits. “Tennis is an excellent full-body workout that releases feel-good endorphins to help you relax and relieve tension. Its low-impact nature also means your joints and bones will thank you.”

She Hikes

Williams likes to go hiking to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself and her friends hiking in the Grand Canyon. “Hello!! Channeling my inner Lara Croft.. Just spent the last two weeks off the grid exploring the Grand Canyon - traveling down the Colorado river, white water rafting and camping with a group of 15 of us. It was already a scary trip for me as I have never done anything like this but an extra challenge from having fractured my wrist 3 weeks before! But the challenges made it 100 x more rewarding! Will share some pictures to try and show you just how incredible the Grand Canyon is 🙌🏽 Very proud of myself for doing it and grateful to be one of the few people who get to see this part of the world in this way!”

Emily Tanner is modeling a new workout collection. In a new social media post the activewear model shows off her amazing body in a few new two-piece exercise sets from Vitality. “Dreamy cloud collection drops today! What’s your favorite color?!” she asks her followers, posing in the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Cold Plunges

Emily is one of the many people obsessed with cold plunging. “Not me setting my phone up confidently knowing I can usually stay in for over a minute… not this time lol. I can plunge if it’s 40 degrees or higher, but anything lower is way too painful. What’s the lowest you can cold plunge and stay in?” she captioned a video. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

Movement in the Morning

Emily rises and exercise. “Movement in the morning has been the number one game changer in my routine over the last few years providing more mental clarity and an overall mood boost to set my day up for success,” she writes in a post.

Walking and Energy Drinks

Emily gets her steps in with the help of Celsius energy drinks. “Morning strolls with my favorite flavor🍑 @celsiusofficial,” she captioned a post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Treadmill Workouts

Emily is a big fan of treadmill workouts. “I actually like running now… specifically the @nordictrack @ifit runs and hikes around the world from my living room,” she captioned a post. She adds that the treadmill “has made running so much fun.” She also uses it for hiking. “I am hiking in places around the entire world from Iceland to Hawaii,” she writes on the Instagram video.

Cycling

Emily loves cycling. At 7:30 am she hops on her NordicTrack bike for a cycling session, calling it the “perfect way for me to decompress for the day ahead of me.” 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.

Grace Charis is more than just a golf influencer—she’s a powerhouse on and off the course. Known for blending her love of the sport with a lifestyle that keeps her fit and fabulous, Charis recently shared a video on Instagram, inviting followers to “Come play this par 3 with me!” Decked out in a sleek white visor, matching skirt, and light pink top, she showcased not just her swing but her toned physique. So, how does she stay in such great shape? From perfecting her golf game to hitting the gym, here are the five fitness habits that keep Grace Charis on top of her game.

She Golfs

Golf is the main way Charis keeps herself in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

She Swims

Charis likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself snorkeling in Japan. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of health benefits, including building your muscles. “The built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”

She Lifts Weights

Charis shared some of her favorite workouts in this TikTok. In it, she is seen doing a lot of workouts with weights. According to ACE Fitness, using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Does Glutes Bridges

Charis is also seen doing glute bridges in her TikTok. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Glute bridges are a useful exercise for building core stability, building glute strength, and improving overall exercise form and function. When performed as a stabilization exercise, glute bridges activate the glutes to function as they are supposed to in other movements like squats, deadlifts, walking, and running. Adding weight progresses glute bridges into a strength exercise, which can build strength in the glute muscles. By increasing glute activation and strengthening the glutes, not only will your form get better in other exercises, but you might also gain the added benefit of reduced low back pain in your everyday life.”

She Does Lunges

Charis is also seen doing lunges with weights in her TikTok. Lunges are very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

Tedeschi likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of videos in her Instagram story highlight of herself using a reformer. Better Health reports, “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine.”

She Does Burpees

The Cleveland Clinic says that burpees have a lot of benefits. “From an aerobic standpoint, burpees put your ticker to the test. The exercise offers the breath-stealing effect of running in a very condensed timeframe.”

She Does Deadlifts

Tedeschi is seen doing deadlifts with a weight in this Instagram story. Deadlifts are very beneficial. ACE Fitness says, “The most important benefit of the RDL is that it teaches the proper movement and biomechanics of standing hip flexion and extension. This is the foundational movement for squatting, whether the movement is performed with a weight in the gym or while bending over to pick an object up from the floor.”

Rachel Platten is a very successful singer. She is known for songs like “Fight Song” and “Stand By You.” Recently, Platten announced on Instagram that she will be going on tour this year. She captioned a post, “I cannot wait to see your faces and hug you and cry together and feel our feelings and connect and saaaang!! Tickets go on sale this Monday. But if you’re signed up for my email list then you’ll get an email giving you early access TODAY. See you soon my friends.”

She Opened Up About Her Struggles

After having her first child, Platten opened up about her struggles on Instagram. She tells TODAY that she received a lot of support from others after doing this. "I get flooded with comments from other women and men saying that it's OK, and I'm not alone, I'm not doing a bad job," she said. “It's making me feel not isolated. I could have gone down a road of this being a much darker experience had I not learned early on to be vulnerable and vocalize what I'm going through. That's been a really big life raft for me.”

She’s Comfortable With Her Weight

On her Instagram, Platten revealed that she is not putting pressure on herself to lose pregnancy weight, as she is comfortable with herself. “I am not less worthy of love just because I can’t seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of ‘baby weight.’ I’ve tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance. I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weight and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life and am honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking myself back to pre-baby weight. F— it.”

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Platten shared some of her skincare secrets with Health Insight. “I apply face masks regularly — twice a week or more — and often go to sleep with a thin layer of a hydrating mask instead of a moisturizer. I also have a five-step routine (cleansing, toning, using a serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen) that I do every morning and night no matter what. It’s a form of meditation for me and reminds me that even when I’m crazy busy there’s always time to breathe and love on myself a little.”

She’s Consistent With Wellness

Platten makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She shared her secrets with Health Insight. “In addition to my daily routine, I get regular facials (or give myself mini facials when I don’t have time), drink a crazy amount of water, eat healthy foods, and wear hats almost every time I’m in the sun. As cheesy as it might sound, I really do love taking care of my skin and I put a lot of effort into maintaining it.”

She Gives Back

Platten is a big believer in giving back to others. “I think we can remember how powerful we are by giving — giving compliments, our time to charities, and random acts of kindness,” she told Health Insight. “We can feel sad and powerless when we only focus on what we don’t have or don’t want, but we can easily shift this by switching that focus to what we have to offer! In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful or attractive than a woman who knows her worth and power.”
