Jenna Johnson In Workout Gear Shares Selfie From Hot Pilates

1. Dancing Workouts

Johnson wishes more people would take dance classes as part of their workout routines. “I think people are so nervous to try an actual dance class because maybe they don’t have the right technique or they’re at a certain level, but I think anyone should dance and should try it,” she told PEOPLE. “You’re challenging your mind as well as your body and it’s engaging a lot of different muscles that you wouldn’t necessarily use on the treadmill or the elliptical… Salsa is a Latin dance and it’s great for stamina and cardio. There’s a lot of movement in the core area and so I feel like it’s awesome for sculpting your obliques and your back and just getting that area moving in general. Jive for me always gets me panting and burning the most.”

2. Cardio and Crunches

Johnson works out right after she gets up for the day. “I typically work out six days a week and give myself Sundays off to rest and recover,” she told New Beauty. “I incline walk/run on the treadmill for 40 minutes and then walk the stairmaster on level 10 for another 10 minutes. My body needs cardio, so I try to sweat as much as possible. After my cardio, I do three sets of 20 push-ups and then 100 crunches on a medicine ball. I don’t like to use weights (I use my own body weight instead) because I don’t want to bulk! But that’s my own body’s routine and mentality. Find out what works for you and stick to it so it eventually becomes habit!”

3. Lots of Protein

Protein is important for Johnson—she usually has scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. Dinner is usually fish, steak, or chicken not too close to bedtime. “For lunch, it’s really important to incorporate leafy greens so I’ll always try to have a salad of some sort with either chicken or some turkey or quinoa and then I love to snack on carrots and hummus, I love pretzels even,” she told PEOPLE. “I feel like they kind of expand in my stomach and keep me a bit more full.”

4. Kombucha, Not Coffee

Johnson is mindful of sugar and caffeine. “I will definitely treat myself to a sweet treat or dessert, but I am aware that excessive amounts of it are not good for my body,” she told New Beauty. “I don’t drink coffee or mounds of caffeine. I’ve learned that my body needs to sip on something throughout the day and I’ve found kombucha is my life saver—it’s insanely loaded with probiotics and benefits for my body. Obviously everything in moderation, but try substituting your caffeine intake so you don’t find yourself shutting down during your day.”

5. Positive Mindset

Johnson encourages keeping a positive mindset on any fitness journey. “If you’ve been working really hard to stay strict with your nutrition and been hitting the gym often, reward yourself with positivity,” she told New Beauty. “It’s hard not to judge yourself if you don’t see results immediately. It’s a process, but a process that is worth the wait.”

Preity Zinta is an actress, known for her work in Hindi films. Zinta has appeared in films like, Dil Se, Soldier, Heaven On Earth, and Armaan. In a recent Instagram post, Zinta decided to hit the gym. She put on a t-shirt, hoodie, and yoga pants, looking ready to sweat. Zinta captioned the photo, “Back in the Bay. Back to work.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Preity Zinta stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Yoga

Zinta shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is practice yoga. Zinta shared these photos of herself in different poses. She captioned the post, “Yoga is the best thing for your health & for your mental health. Indoors or outdoors all you need is the intent to do something for yourself to feel better & live a longer, healthier & happier life.”

2. She Does Pilates

Another thing Zinta does to stay in shape is practice Pilates. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing stretches on equipment and with the help of a trainer. Zinta captioned the post, “Travelling across continents & across India on various flights has been tough on the body. I can handle jet lag but not a stiff back. Thank god for Pilates. Nothing a good stretch cannot fix. Thank you Yas for always watching my back. Love you loads.”

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 in the Gym after a while. What better motivation than a buddy workout with my darling Su ❤️ Thank you for pushing me & thank you for doing this workout with me.”

4. She Works Her Abs

Zinta works out her entire body. Including her abs. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing core workouts. In it, Zinta is seen doing candlesticks. 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.”

5. She Hikes

Zinta likes to go hiking to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself and her husband after hiking Machu Picchu. Zinta captioned the photos, “Us after a 16km uphill hike on the Inka Trail to Machu Picchu 😍 Wow !!! What a view… What a hike!” The National Parks Service states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. 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.”

1. She Does Pilates

Pilates is January’s go-to workout. "Two or three years ago I started doing barre classes, and after that I took regular private Pilates lessons. Then a friend told me about Lagree Pilates," she told Shape in February 2020. "I’ve been doing it two to four times a week for the past year now, and I’ve gained weight because I’ve put on muscle. I’ve gone up a size in clothes, but I feel like I look better naked."

2. She Also Does Yoga

January also loves to do yoga. She trains with Kirschen, a private yoga instructor based in Los Angeles, and regularly shares photos of their sessions together. “Whether you’re a couch potato or a professional athlete, size and fitness levels do not matter because there are modifications for every yoga pose and beginner classes in every style,” explains Natalie Nevins, DO, a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Kundalini Yoga instructor in Hollywood, California to the American Osteopathic Association. “The idea is to explore your limits, not strive for some pretzel-like perfection. It is a great way to get in tune with your body and your inner self.”​

3. She Loves Group Fitness

January is all about exercise classes because “music is good” and the routine changes so “it doesn’t get boring.” She added to Shape: “I like having women on both sides of me to push me. When I did the private Pilates lessons a couple of years ago, I just saw myself getting lazy with it because there wasn’t that drive for competition. For me, that’s what’s motivating. If there’s someone strong next to me, I definitely want to up my game. I find myself looking forward to it more than I’ve ever looked forward to a workout.”

4. Her Diet Is Healthy, Organic, and Balanced

“I don’t deprive myself of anything. If I want something—steak, a bagel—I’ll eat it. There’s no diet or strict set of rules,” she dished to Shape about how she eats. “I don’t get hungry until around 10 a.m., but since I usually do Lagree at 9:30, I’ll make myself eat a banana beforehand so I don’t get too shaky. Then I have a MacroBar afterward and eat lunch around 11:30—usually salad, soup, or a sandwich,” she revealed. She also loves to cook and might make salmon with french fries or pasta for herself and son, Xander. “We try to have lots of green veggies,” she added. One way she gets her greens in? “Last winter, I started drinking celery juice every day, and I’ve seen amazing results in my energy, digestion, and skin and how I sleep. I have that in the morning, then I take my vitamins and drink coffee.” She also eats organic. “No antibiotics or hormones in meats is really important to me, and so is eating sustainable fish. I don’t want to be that annoying person in the restaurant who’s like, ‘Where’s this fish from?’ But I do it anyway.”

5. She Does Cardio Barre

January told InStyle that she likes Cardio Barre, a combination of traditional barre moves with non-stop movements. “I feel better. I feel stronger. It’s muscle, obviously. I gained weight, but I feel tighter and more energetic, and exercising is legit,” she explained.

Danni Menzies is showing off her fit figure – in a sports bra and leggings. In a new social media post the A Place in the Sun presenter shows off her washboard abs during an intense workout circuit. “Last session in Glasgow with @chantelwilkie_fit ready to get down the road and take on London,” she captioned the post. How does the 34-year-old stay fit? Celebwell has the details on her latest workout and the other health habits responsible for her amazing figure.

1. She Goes Running

Danni told Runner’s World UK that she has been running since she was 8. “Running is an escape from London life. I live in Fulham and run 10km in a loop from Putney to Hammersmith along the Thames. I usually run two to three times a week but if I’m busy with work I’ll do that route once a week and then 5-8km on the other days,” she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. She Eats Healthy During the Week

On weekdays, Danni keeps her diet ultra healthy. “Before every run I have green juice and a coffee, and then an omelette with avocado when I get back,” she told Runner’s World. “On the weekends, she cheats! “I’m a health freak Monday to Friday but I love a Domino’s Pizza on a Sunday.”

3. She Uses Fitness Apps

Danni is a fan of fitness apps. “I use Nike Running Club's running app. If I see that friends I follow have gone out and ran 7km, I’ll go and do 9km. It’s a great motivator and I like the training programmes you can get on them,” she told Runner’s World.

4. She Does Reformer Pilates

“I do reformer pilates,” Danni told Daily Star UK. “I’m a bit of a fitness freak from Monday to Friday and then I party at the weekend.“I’m good at keeping on it Monday to Friday. I’m pretty health conscious.” Should you do Pilates? The Mayo Clinic confirms that 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.

5. She Also Does Yoga

“I try to do a lot of Yoga as well. I find it helps space doing exercise,” Danni added to Daily Star UK. “It makes you feel good as well as put your head in the right place too.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

6. Here Is Her New Workout Routine

Strength training is also part of her routine. Here are the exercises she does in her latest video:

1. Sumo deadlifts
2. Barbell rows
3. Front raises with a plate
4. Chest press on the ground
