Jackie Aina is asking her followers for restaurant suggestions – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the beauty and makeup influencer flaunts her fit figure in a mirror selfie. “Need some Nashville food recommendations,” she writes across the Instagram Stories image. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Sleep

Sleep is a priority for Jackie. “I’m not a morning person and I try to get a minimum of 10 hours of sleep,” she told the New York Times. She wakes up at 9 am and begins her day with a prayer. “Then, I like to have at least an hour free of social media. I read texts and emails, but try to avoid falling into the trap of endless scrolling,” she says. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

2. Morning Workouts

She then heads to the gym “for my morning workout,” she says. “I spend so much time at a desk and working from home that it’s challenging being mobile throughout the day.” One of her go-to workouts is strength training.

3. Cycling

She also spins. “Cycling classes grew on me this year,” she adds. 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.

4. Limited Diet

“We have a chef who preps meals for us twice a week, working around my dietary restrictions: no pork, dairy or beef,” she says about her diet. What does she have for breakfast? “I heat up today’s low-carb vegan waffle, scrambled eggs and spicy chicken sausage.”

5. Pilates

Pilates is another one of her go-to workouts. “Nothing I’ve ever done — even Army training — could have prepared me for Pilates!” she admits. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Fitness influencer Kayla Itsines built a successful business with her training and workout programs, but still shares plenty of content for free on her social media (thanks Kayla!). Itsines, 32, posted a video of herself black workout shorts and a sports bra, showing followers how to perfect a hover and shoulder tap. “You are a nonstop inspiration for me, and I just wanted to thank you for your positivity, realness, great attitude, and persistence. You're a great force in the world! ✨” a fan commented. Here’s what Itsines’ approach to wellness looks like, and her best workout advice.


1. Her Daily Workout

Kayla.ItsinesKayla Itsines

Itsines combines low and high impact exercises for her personal workout routine. “My BBG program [now called High Impact with Kayla] consists of three resistance workouts per week which I normally schedule on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” she tells Vogue Australia. “With my current schedule, working out at 7:30pm at night has been working best for me as Arna has gone to sleep and my family is around to watch over her so I know I can get 28-minutes in without being interrupted. I’ve also been aiming for four to five LISS (low-intensity steady state cardio) sessions per week which I’ll often do first thing in the morning on my treadmill at home before Arna wakes up."

2. Olive Oil With Breakfast

Bowl,Of,Fresh,Olive,Oil,And,Olive,Branches,On,WhiteShutterstock

Itsines’ breakfast changes depending on whether she’s eating at home, or in a cafe (where eggs are usually her first choice). “If I’m eating breakfast at home, I’ll often have a lot of vegetables with two pieces of toast,” she says on her website. “If they are in season, I eat tomatoes, capsicum (bell pepper) and cucumbers from Yiayia and Papou's garden, and if I feel like it, I might add some avocado. I drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, along with some fresh basil, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. I eat my toast with olive oil (yes, that’s even more olive oil — what can I say, I’m Greek!) as I prefer it to butter. I’m lactose sensitive (I used to have lactose intolerance as a kid) so I try to limit my dairy intake where I can, and in the case of butter, I actually just don’t like the taste. I’ll also have a Turkish coffee with breakfast at home.”

3. Protein and Carbs

Itsines’s lunch and dinner vary depending on who she is enjoying her food with. “If I’m at home, I’ll often make a quick tuna salad,” she says on her website. “When we eat [dinner] together as a family, we have a lot of shared dishes on the table, and we each eat a selection of the dishes we like! Usually, there are pasta dishes, salads, roasted vegetables and meat including skewers, baked chicken schnitzel, or gyros (yiros or kebab). My aunt is Thai, so we also have Thai dishes with our family dinners, which I LOVE. She’s originally from northern Thailand and the curries and noodle dishes she makes are spicy and SO good! My basic principle for dinner is to always include protein, carbohydrates, and LOTS of vegetables.”

4. Try Anything Once

Itsines isn’t afraid of new challenges. “Fitness is such a big part of my life and I truly love what I do, so I don't think there is any exercise that I wouldn't try,” she tells Vogue Australia. “Like anybody, there are some exercises that I don’t love but I understand how they benefit my body and workout, so I’ll push through instead of avoiding them. I think as women, we don't realize how strong we really are and sometimes trying something new is a great way to build confidence, even if you don’t nail it the first time round.”

5. One Day At a Time

Itsines knows fitness is a journey that isn’t completed overnight. “Truth is, there are no quick fixes or tricks that are going to help you tone up ‘quicker’,” she tells Vogue Australia. “It’s important to have a healthy relationship with exercise, and that you are working out to feel good, not just for physical results. I want women to include fitness as part of their lifestyle, and with a healthy balanced diet and consistent exercise, you are going to see both mental and physical results. It’s so important to be realistic in your goals and put in the hard work to achieve them.”

Jaclyn Cordeiro is celebrating her birthday with a little self-love. In a new social media post, A Rod’s fitness trainer girlfriend shows off her fitter-than-ever figure in a tight workout top and leggings while sharing an inspiring message with her followers. “Give Yourself Love If You’re Handling A Situation Better Than Your Old Self Would Have. #betterthanyesterday #bdaygirl #progressnotperfection #44today,” she captioned the Instagram post. “❤❤❤” commented her boyfriend. “You are goals!!! 🔥👏seriously! My role model! Happy birthday!” added another follower. How does the influencer manage to look half her age? Here is everything you need to know about her health habits.


1. Exercise Is Her Life

Jaclyn “ventured into the world of weight lifting,” when she was young. “I immediately fell in love,” Cordeiro told Oxygen. Lifting weights “helped her through the stress of nursing school and kept me focused on my life goals.” She has competed in multiple bodybuilding and bikini competitions before-during-and-after having her kids.

2. Fasted Cardio

Jaclyn is a morning workout girl. “I train my body with intention and focus on MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION. I always perform early morning fasted cardio. I always go into my training with muscle groups in mind but use various methods; HIIT, Tabata, FBW, isolation, TUT and listen to what my body is telling me to do (an intuitive approach),” she told Status Fitness Magazine.

3. Supplements

Jaclyn explains that she is “very mindful” of what she puts into her body. “My stack includes Energy and Burner (fasted cardio), Superfoods Greens, CLA, Multivitamin, Vitamin D, Calcium, and Vitamin C daily,” she told Status Fitness.

4. Plant-Based Eating

Jaclyn follows a “plant-based” diet. “I transitioned from animal-based to plant-based about 6 years ago. I cannot express enough the benefits for my body both physically and the overall mental clarity and function. I am able to maintain a leaner physique, eliminate GI issues and my sense of connection to my body is insanely powerful,” she told Status Fitness. One of her go-to post workout snacks is “Tofu, sweet potatoes and roasted chickpeas with lots of hot sauce!” she added to Oxygen.

5. Workout Buddies

A Rod is Jaclyn’s boyfriend, client, and workout buddy. In September 2023, the slugger opened up about his “life changing” health journey, giving credit to his girlfriend for helping him lose 32 pounds. At the end of 2021, his family pointed out that him that he was looking unhealthy. “Not what you want to hear, but I knew I wasn’t my best self,” he said. “It all came down to me making some key changes in my habits: 1. More plants, less red meat 2. Intermittent fasting 3. Night walks. Small changes led to big results, and I’m feeling better than ever,” he continued. “Thank you @jac_lynfit for being my guide and support. You coached me up to stay dedicated, motivated and improve each day.” The two regularly share photos and videos of their couple’s workouts.

Georgina Ellenwood is having a good day on the track. In a new social media post the heptathlete opens up about the realities of being an athlete, showing off her amazingly fit figure in workout shorts and a tank. “I think the times my body has impressed me vs disappointed me.. is about equal. The trick is to also take them with equal weight. 💁🏼‍♀️What I’m saying is.. if you’re going to let one bad day define you, then at least let one good day do the same. Today was a good day. I am the world’s greatest athlete in all of existence 😀😀😀😀,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her workout routine.


1. Fueling Up with Food

Georgina fuels her body with healthy food. “Everyday I eat toast with an egg, turkey bacon and coffee for breakfast,” she told Running Magazine. For lunch she might grab “vegetables and dip, almonds and beef jerky or a smoothie,” she adds. “I drink lots of smoothies. I want to make sure I’m never going too long without eating.”

2. Meal Prep

Chicken,And,Rice,Meal,PrepShutterstock

Georgina is also a fan of meal prepping, so she can ensure healthy eating. “I meal prep for dinner too, to save time at the end of a long day,” she told Running Magazine.

3. A Two-Minute Ab Exercise

Georgina attributes her flat abs to a quick but intense workout. “This is a two-minute ab exercise,” Ellenwood told Running Magazine, “but it burns. I think people think they need to do 10 or 20 minutes of abs to really get it, but if you do this two-minute workout three times a week, you’ll definitely get stronger.” The routine features four exercises – a hollow hold, leg flutters, arm raises, and suitcase crunches – each which should be performed for 30 seconds without rest. “People can do something like this for two minutes, no matter how hard it is,” she says.

4. Weight Lifting

Georgina spends a lot of time weight lifting, and has managed to increase her strength over the years. “The same weight, across different years. The weight room has always been intimidating for me. All I wanted to do was run/jump/throw. I never thought I was very strong, and my body had many limits when it came to ‘range’ (don’t even get me started on overhead squats). Since I’ve spent more time in the weight room regaining strength and doing rehab.. my confidence in lifting has become a very lovely byproduct!!!” she captioned a post.

5. Swimming

Georgina spends a lot of time swimming. “New year.. just as crazy! A little dip to start off 2024,” she captioned a post. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. 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, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

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.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

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 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

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.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

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? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

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.
