2. Ab Work

In an interview with PS, Carey revealed that she has an intense ab routine that preps her for big competitions. “It’s pretty quick, but it’s still pretty hard and a good workout,” the gymnast said. Exercises include hollow holds, v ups, and arch ups.

5. Strength Training

In her recent post, Jade strength trains at the gym. 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:

Influencer and fitness expert Lauren Fisher shares her fitness journey through intense workouts, meal prepping, and smart recovery techniques. In a recent Instagram post, Fisher donned a sleek two-piece workout set and demonstrated her go-to exercises, offering a glimpse into her dedication to staying fit. Beyond the gym, Fisher emphasizes the importance of giving her body time to recover, meal prepping to stay on track, and even indulging in cheat days to maintain balance. As a frequent traveler, she also ensures to squeeze in quick, effective workouts while on the road. From lifting heavy weights to allowing herself a break, Fisher’s approach is all about sustainability and enjoying the process of staying healthy.


1. She Pushes Herself

Known for her fitness retreats and intense workouts, Fisher showed followers a quick glimpse of a compilation of exercises she does to keep in shape. Wearing short grey shorts and a matching top, Fisher is seen lifting heavy weights, pull-ups, and battle ropes.

2. She Gives Herself Time to Recover

Working hard to achieve fitness and health goals also includes downtime to allow the body to recover, something Fisher recently reminded followers. “Over the years, I’ve realized that recovery is just as important as the workout,” she wrote. “And honestly, when it’s that time of the month, I feel it even more. My energy dips, and my body just feels like slowing down. Instead of pushing through, I’ve learned to listen to my body and give myself a break when I need it. Some days, it’s full rest, or like today, it’s light movement with a run followed by recovery using the @hyperice Venom 2 Back. The heat and vibration provide a lot of relief and help me feel better. It’s a reminder that recovery isn’t slacking off—it’s taking care of yourself so you can show up stronger later. So if you’re feeling off, especially during your period, it’s totally okay to take a step back. 🫶”

3. She Workouts While Traveling

Working out is one of the last things most people want to do while traveling, but Fisher tries to stay on track when she’s jetsetting, she shared in an Instagram post. “Sticking to a modified version of my typical morning routine while on vacation always makes me feel my best while traveling. “

1️⃣ Sunlight exposure (not shown in video, but Ras and I opened our hotel windows to get the morning light right away)

2️⃣ Morning workout & doing what I want right now (this included the GS20 program from Grown Strong. 💪 Comment WORKOUT and I’ll DM you what I did in under 20 minutes)

3️⃣ Don’t forget your greens people ✌️ this can be easy one to let slip… Thankful for the travel packets from @organifi Green Juice (LAURENFISHER saves 20%)

4️⃣ Breakfast of course. I ate after my workout today so was craving a Skyr yogurt bowl. An hour later I had a 2nd breakfast with my normal eggs. Anyone else do 2 breakfasts? 😂

4. She Meal Preps

Lauren Fisher.4Lauren Fisher/Instagram

Fisher meal preps to help ensure she eats a healthy diet. On her blog, she shared why it’s a game-changer for her. “Find one or two days in the week where you can meal prep in bulk. This means you're cooking food that will last 2-4 days ahead of time so you don't have to worry about cooking every day. It's a timesaver and also makes it a lot easier to stay on track.”

5. She Has Cheat Days

While Fisher sticks to a healthy diet and fitness routine, she also allows herself to have fun. On her blog, she stated,” DON’T LET PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF PROGRESS. The world is not going to end if you have a cheat meal once or even twice a week. Heck, I promise enjoying yourself on your birthday or a holiday won’t kill your progress either. For me, I actually have one day a week where I don’t even worry about sticking to my plan and I go out to enjoy a nice dinner with my fiancé and go out for ice cream after. If I was 100% strict all the time, I would not be able to stick with this and it would do more damage than good. Going back to the balance I talked about earlier. So next time your friends invite you out, don't say no because you're nervous about your meal plan.”

Twilight star Ashley Greene is giving fans a glimpse at the highlights of her year so far. Greene, 36, shared several pictures of herself and family, including one of the star wearing black leggings and a purple workout top, looking fresh-faced and very toned. “Life lately,” she captioned the post, adding the word “commitment” for her workout selfie. Greene is now the co-owner of a gym, and her fitness routine has adapted to motherhood—here’s how the actress stays fit and full of energy.

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Toast,With,Peanut,Butter,,Banana,Slices,,Honey,And,Almond,FlakesShutterstock

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."

Maycee Barner is showing off all her gym moods – and her amazing body in exercise clothes. In a new social media post the MMA fighter flaunts her figure in shorts and a crop top during an exercise session. “There’s no in between 😂💀 Which one are you?!” she captioned the video of all her gym moods. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Her Daily Schedule

Maycee works out from 9:30-10:30 a.m, wrestles from 1:30-2:30 p.m., and has team practice 3-4 p.m. Then, she takes a recovery period and does cryotherapy from 6-7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m., a light run or hot tub, “depending on the day's training intensity.”

Science of Food

"After I got signed with UFC, they did all these metabolic tests to create a meal plan for me, which they partnered with meal delivery service Trifecta to do," Barber told Well + Good. She avoids soy and dairy, and eats a diet high in protein, healthy fats, and lots of fibrous veggies as a result of her testing. "I've gotten really into the science behind what's best to eat because it's so important [for my job]," she said. "I've done meal plans in the past where I haven't felt good at all, I felt sick and tired all the time, but eating this way makes me feel energized and also keeps my immune system strong.”

Breakfast

"All of my meals are some sort of combination of protein and vegetables—including breakfast," says Barber. "I really love eggs, so that's something I have a lot in the mornings, often with a side of broccoli, or another high-fiber vegetable. I like to have coffee, but I wait until after my morning workout to have it. Throughout the day, I make sure to stay hydrated, too. Hydration is really important. I drink water before, during, and after all my workouts."

Lunch

Next up, lunch. "There's a poke spot close to me that I love, so I got there a lot for lunch," she says. "I do a build-your-own-bowl, adding ahi tuna and lots and lots of greens. I also add in cilantro, cucumber, and red onion. The sauce I like to put on top is lime juice-based. I love this lunch because it's super healthy, really delicious, and gives me the stamina I need to push through my next workout,” she said.

Dinner

"Dinner is...yep, more protein and veggies! One of my go-to dinners is salmon and vegetables," she says. "It has protein, healthy fats, and of course lots of fiber—everything I know my body needs to feel good. I don't actually love the taste of salmon, but I do love the way it makes me feel. As you can see, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables; that's pretty much the core of my diet. I just try to find ways to keep it mix it up and keep it interesting."

Jasmine Tookes is a model, and she’s best known for being a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Tookes and her fellow Angel, Josephine Skriver, have a clothing line called Joja. Both of them often model clothing from the line on Instagram. Tookes shared a set of Instagram stories this week of herself wearing a white Joja outfit. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jasmine Tookes stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works Her Entire Body

Tookes shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she makes sure to work her entire body. "I switch it up. I'll do one day with legs and abs, lower body. The next day I will do an upper body day. And then one day I always dedicate to my butt. A whole butt day for like an hour. And then I'll take a break on one day. And then the next day I do a full body. Then I am off the rest of the days."

2. She Eats A Lot Of Protein

Tookes eats a lot of protein, especially when she’s working out."I definitely like to have something in my stomach before I go, otherwise I'll get nauseous and have no energy at all,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I'll have a protein shake or, I normally workout in the morning, so I'll have a breakfast sandwich or omelet. After a workout I love to have a lot of protein like grilled chicken, veggies, and rice. Or steak, if it's in the evening."

3. She Works Out With Others

Tookes likes to workout with her fellow Victoria’s Secret Angels. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that this helps motivate her. "Oh my god, it's so hard. I think the easiest way to motivate myself is to go with a friend. Josephine, for example, we workout together all the time. She texts me like, 'Hey want to go to Dogpound?" And you like, can't say no. You feel like, crap! If she's going I gotta go. You have to find a friend to motivate you."

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Tookes likes to mix-up her workouts. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she goes to different fitness classes. "I like to try out different classes in different cities. For example in California I go to a place called The Studio MDR, which is a pilates class. Or I'll do Physique 57, which I know is all-over. That's one of my favorite barre classes.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Jasmine.Tookes.2Jasmine Tookes/Instagram

Tookes has amazing skin. She shared her routine in an interview with Grazia. “I’ve really learned that the routine and order in which I apply my products is such a game-changer in getting healthy, glowy skin. I’ve been incorporating Hourglass’s new Equilibrium skincare collection for over a month and I’ve really seen the difference. To start, I take a towel and soak it in hot water. I then just hold the towel on my face, warming up my skin before I start my routine. I wash my face with the Equilibrium Rebalancing Cream Cleanser. The texture is rich and creamy and I love that it leaves my skin feeling clean and plump, and not stripped. I follow that with the Equilibrium Restoring Essence, which is the perfect primer because it’s so soothing and conditioning. It’s particularly great if I’m on-the-go and need an extra boost of hydration. For my moisturizer, depending on how my skin is feeling that day I will either use Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream or Kora Organics Noni Face Oil.”

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.”

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

Pilates

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
