1. She Changes Her Workout Times

Alba works with trainer Ramona Braganza, to help her stay in shape. Braganza shared some of Alba’s workout secrets in an interview with Women’s Health, Braganza says that she makes sure to be flexible with Alba’s busy schedule, and wants to make things interesting. One of the things that she does is change the times Alba works out. “Mixing up evenings and mornings is a good idea for variety, and also allows for proper recovery.”

2. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Another thing Braganza does with Alba is mix up the workouts she does. “​​To keep the workouts interesting for Jess, I mix up the strength training exercises in a variety of ways,” Braganza told Women’s Health. “Sometimes it’s reps and others it’s timings.” Doing a variety of workouts has a lot of benefits. Ace Fitness reports, “Many individuals need to push themselves to new levels and try different activities to stay enthusiastic and excited about their workouts. By varying their exercise routines, individuals can not only stay physically challenged, but mentally stimulated as well.”

3. She Walks

Alba likes to walk to stay in shape. “Sometimes when the gym is absolutely not what Jessica wants, we will go outside and walk the hills near her home,” Bragaza told Women’s Health. The Mayo Clinic states that walking has a lot of benefits. “The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories.”

4. She Makes Protein Shakes

Alba shared some of her diet and exercise secrets with Byrdie. “I like to make a protein shake,” she says. “And I make sure there’s plenty of fat in there with almond butter. Then I’ll use Zico coconut water. Depending on whether or not I want a chocolate one or plain one, sometimes I’ll put fruit in it. The kids love it! I like to get them shakes so I can get some protein in them. Chocolate, coconut, almond butter shakes with banana butter!”

5. She Loves Coconut Water

Alba makes sure to stay hydrated, and she tells Byrdie that she’s a big fan of coconut water. “I got into hot yoga, and you sweat so much and you lose so much water, so you can get dehydrated. I really love the health benefits that come with coconut water. I think the thing that makes Zico different from other coconut waters is it’s not from concentrate; there’s no added sugar. And it tastes like kind of a treat because it’s sweet. I don’t drink a ton of other types of drinks. I drink coffee, tea, and coconut water—that’s it.”

6. She Cooks

Alba is an avid chef, and shared some of her favorite recipes with Byrdie. “My family likes when I make Cornish game hen—or stir fries, pastas, and lasagna. The kids are pretty easy; they like pretty much everything. I like to cook. In the summer, we do a lot of grilling; in the winter, we do roasting. We always have roasted veggies. I kind of like to cook anything depending on the weather.”

7. She Works Out With Others

Alba tells Byrdie that she likes to work out with others. “I really like taking group classes, or I like to work out with friends. I like high-intensity workouts; I like moving around a lot. I don’t like a lot of repetition. I like Spin classes, depending on the teacher and the playlist. I do like hot yoga classes, if it’s done at a good pace. I prefer it mixed in with light weights, so like a sculpting hot yoga class. I’ll always work out with a friend because it’s more fun.”

"Do I wish I could go back and, do the last 20 years with everything I know now, of course, but also not really," she tells Shape. "Because where I am now is great, and I want to just really enjoy it and not waste any time that I have on this planet wishing for something else."

"You've got to keep your blood moving…Man, there's no time that I feel more like myself, more like I look pretty...The time I'm going to feel absolutely my best is right after a hard workout and a shower because my skin has a lot of vibrancy.”

Garner makes sure to have confidence in herself. She tells TODAYthat she makes sure to not be too hard on herself.

I did use sunscreen early on and I stayed out of the sun when I was young because I was always in the theater.”

6. She Doesn’t Diet

Jessica Alba is not only a successful actress but also a thriving entrepreneur. She first gained recognition on the fantasy TV series Dark Angel and has since starred in blockbuster movies like Fantastic Four, Honey, Good Luck Chuck, and Sin City. In addition to her acting career, she founded the Honest Company, a consumer goods brand that emphasizes natural and eco-friendly products. Currently, Alba is enjoying a vacation in Mykonos and shared some stunning highlights on Instagram, captioning the post, “& now some island time with the whole fam 💙🌅🌊👙🧿☀️” Curious about how she stays so fit? Read on to discover five ways Jessica Alba maintains her incredible shape, along with photos that prove her methods work.


1. She Uses A Facial Mask

Alba has amazing skin, and she shared her favorite products in an interview with Molly Sims’ website. She says that she likes to use a mask in the mornings. “The very first thing I do when I wake up is wash my face with Honest Beauty Calm On Foaming Cream Cleanser and follow that up with my favorite Prime +Perfect Mask. I always reach for this mask because it’s full of superfruit antioxidants, shea butter to moisturize, and vitamin E to nourish. Without fail, it leaves my skin feeling tighter and makes my pores look smaller–I literally can’t start my morning without it! I like to think of it as my version of a morning smoothie for my skin.”

2. She Keeps Her Skin Hydrated

Alba tells Molly Sims that she makes sure to keep her skin hydrated. “I’ll either use the Vitamin C Radiance Serum or the Calm & POREfect Serum. I let that sit on my skin for about 30 seconds and follow that up with either Hydrogel Cream or our new Calm and Heal Melting Balm. Especially in the winter months, I can get super dry skin, which the Calm and Heal Melting Balm is perfect for. I have been working with our Honest Company chemists for years to develop a CLEAN alternative to those super expensive creams on the market. It’s so luxurious, it literally melts in your skin leaving it looking like a dewy dumpling…I’m obsessed. I ALWAYS follow that up with Honestly Bright Eyes under my eyes. It’s a water-based eye cream that corrects blue undertones. My last step – add Gloss C – it’s a lip treatment and gloss in one.

3. She Takes Fitness Classes

Alba shared some of her fitness secrets with Shape. She says that she likes to take fitness classes. “I’m not going to lie. Working out sucks. Which is why I love taking classes, because I’m surrounded by other people and that keeps me motivated and accountable. I've figured out now certain things that I like to do and it's actually become kind of a stress reliever.”

4. She Feels Powerful

Alba talked about finding power in her femininity with The Cut. “Before becoming a mom, my femininity was defined by society’s standards of what it means to be desirable to men. Now I understand what feeling powerful from a woman’s point of view means. It has nothing to do with whether someone desires you, it’s more about how connected you feel to yourself. You end up attracting people when you’re confident and you feel good in your skin. And that’s a by-product of being connected to your feminine energy.”

5. She Rides A Stationary Bike

Alba likes to ride a stationary bike to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a Peloton class. Alba captioned it, “It’s a new week 📆 let’s get it off to a strong start 💪🏽🚲#mantramonday: you can and you will. because you’re bad a** like that 👊🏽 & with this week comes new strength and new thoughts ✨ #motivationmonday #letsgetit.” Alba is also seen on a bike in this Instagram video.

Jessica Alba is taking advantage of the summer heatwave sweeping Southern California by getting into a swimsuit and enjoying a fun-filled pool day. Alba, 42, shared rare pictures of herself soaking up the sun in a black bikini, lounging by the pool and snacking on shrimp salad in the beautiful fresh air. “Pool day vibes,” she captioned the post. “Looking good!” a fan commented. So how does she do it? Here are 10 ways Alba stays toned, healthy, beautiful, and strong.


1. Eggs and Protein Shakes

Jessica,Alba,At,The,2019,Baby2baby,Gala,Presented,By,PaulShutterstock

Alba starts her mornings with plenty of protein to fuel the day. “I love avocado toast and poached eggs. That’s my favorite breakfast. I like to make a protein shake,” she says. “And I make sure there’s plenty of fat in there with almond butter. Then I’ll use Zico coconut water. Depending on whether or not I want a chocolate one or plain one, sometimes I’ll put fruit in it. The kids love it! I like to get them shakes so I can get some protein in them. Chocolate, coconut, almond butter shakes with banana butter!”

2. Working Out With Friends

Alba loves working out with friends and family. “I really like taking group classes, or I like to work out with friends,” she says. “I like high-intensity workouts; I like moving around a lot. I don’t like a lot of repetition. I like Spin classes, depending on the teacher and the playlist. I do like hot yoga classes, if it’s done at a good pace. I prefer it mixed in with light weights, so like a sculpting hot yoga class. I’ll always work out with a friend because it’s more fun.”

3. Holistic Health Benefits

Alba appreciates both the mental and physical benefits of regular exercise. “For me, the benefits of exercise are more mental than physical,” she says. “Working out takes away that little edge so that I feel happier and more productive, and my brain can get kick-started… As I’ve gotten older and after I became a mom, it became more of a priority to be healthy for the right reasons. It’s more important to have a balanced approach instead of trying to be perfect.”

4. Fat-Burning Diet

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,11:,Jessica,Alba,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Alba adapts a stricter diet when she’s trying to lose fat. “With exercise, I get a little more toned and I definitely feel stronger, but my diet is much more important if I’m trying to slim down,” she says. “In that case, I usually don’t eat gluten, dairy, fried foods or processed foods. I try to stick to a diet that’s low in sugar and carbs, and high in lean proteins and vegetables.”

5. Loving Her Body

Jessica,Alba,At,The,2018,Baby2baby,Gala,Held,At,TheShutterstock

Alba embraces everything her body provides for her, and has learned to appreciate her curves. “I love my shape because it does what I want it to,” she says. “If I want to go on a hike or a bike ride or go for a swim, I know my body will do everything I tell it to. I also appreciate that I can push myself through when I’m feeling tired. There’s always a little extra something to get me past the tired moments.”

6. Good Sleep

Alba swears by sleep for health and beauty. "Obviously having great beauty products and sleeping really helps,” she says. “But you do have to, I think, practice those holistic things that make you healthy, otherwise it doesn't really matter what kind of cream or makeup you have."

7. She’s a Sun-Worshipper

Alba loves spending time outdoors in the sunshine. “I know the sun is not good for the skin,” she says. “I know, but I just love it! I just love being out in nature. I love taking hikes. I love all the beaches… I will wear a hat and I will absolutely wear sunscreen, but I don’t stay out of the sun… Growing up in entertainment, there’s so much emphasis on appearance and trying to fit some mold that feels on trend… of what you should look like or not look like or what is beautiful. And I really feel like the more I worked on myself and I felt confident in my own skin, that’s when I felt the most beautiful.’

8. Simple Beauty Routine

Alba does what she calls a 10-minute face when she’s enjoying down-time at home with her family. “Around the house, I do a 10-minute face,” she says. “It just makes me feel better looking at my reflection. That’s kind of my jam — just something quick and easy. If I’m going to really try, I’ll do my hair. But usually I just let it air-dry. I’m using the new Honest Beauty tinted moisturizer that has protection from the blue light of screens and devices. Then a blush, mascara, and a lip balm.”

9. Confidence In Herself

Alba loves that she now has control over her image. "After I had my kids and started Honest, I think I sort of fell into the groove of being comfortable with myself in a different way,” she says. “The entertainment industry is a very difficult place to have a strong sense of confidence. Before the internet, magazine editors and journalists had control over how people saw me. However someone wanted to sell me to their audience is how I was portrayed. It wasn't until social media that I felt empowered to take control of my own narrative and my own image. I get to be my own megaphone—everything feels connected. Before, I think I just felt really disconnected from my own image."

10. Alba’s Beauty Tips

Alba’s beauty and wellness tips are all about hydration and good food. “I think staying hydrated is really important,” she says. “So, just making sure you do stay hydrated for glowing skin and high energy. It’s important for overall health. And I think making sure that you make the right choices in terms of your environment. Always try to have as many fresh and natural things in your diet as possible and the least amount of processed things and things that have unnatural sugars.”

Singer, actress, and fashion maven Jessica Simpson has been open about her struggles with her weight. ​​In a 2010 interview with Oprah, Simpson talked about her struggles and how she came to love her body. ”Every day, we'll find something new out about ourselves that is authentic and is unique, but I really just finally relaxed. I don't care what people have to say about my weight. I really don't, because I think I look great," she said at the time. Read on to see five ways Jessica Simpson stays in shape, which she revealed to others over the years, and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. She Uses Weight Watchers aka WW

Simpson was a longtime advocate of the Weight Watchers, or WW, program, even appearing in several of their commercials. Simpson first started using the program in 2012 after having her first child, and lost 60 pounds. “I saw the results really quickly,” she told USA Today.

2. She Works With A Personal Trainer

After having her third child in 2019, Simpson worked with celebrity trainer, Harley Pasternak, to shed the baby weight. Simpson revealed on Instagram that while working with Pasternak, she dropped 100 pounds, and weighed 240 pounds while she was pregnant. “6 months. 100 pounds down (Yes, I tipped the scales at 240),” Simpson captioned the photo showing off her weight loss. Pasternak toldE! News that he worked with Simpson to make sustainable changes to her lifestyle. “It had to be more than just getting back from her baby weight, but how do I keep whatever I am doing now forever,” he said. “That’s why we are not a big fan of doing any extreme diet or radical forms of exercise.” Pasternak praised Simpson’s drive and commitment in the same interview. “We were kind of just getting in shape between kids and now it was sort of OK, I want to look fierce again and look great, confident and energized and I want to do it in a sustainable way,” he said. “That was her main goal.”

3. She Worked With A Dietician

Simpson also works with nutritionist Liz Josefsburg, on her diet and meal plans. Josefsburg told HollywoodLife.com about her and Simpson’s process on developing her diet. “She spent well over 6 months working off weight from her first and second pregnancies. She ate regular meals throughout the day. Usually three times and a snack. The key for Jessica was moderation and learning to indulge intelligently.”

4. She Gets At Least 10,000 Steps In A Day

Simpson makes sure to get her steps in everyday. Simpson’s trainer, Harley Pasternak, told E! News that one of the changes he and Simpson made involved increasing her daily steps to 14,000 a day. Simpson’s nutritionist, Liz Josefsburg, agreed. "Jessica loves to walk. She gets out almost every day to hit at least 10,000 steps. She loves it because she can do it anywhere, she can do it with her family and it helped her lose weight after every baby," she said to HollywoodLife.com.

5. She Stays Hydrated

Simpson tries to stay hydrated throughout the day, as recommended by her nutritionist, Liz Josefsburg. Josefsburg told HollywoodLife.com, “Hydration is a secret weapon for weight loss. In my book Target 100 I urge people to get in at least 100 ounces per day. Which might seem like a lot, but it is right for our bodies. Staying fully hydrated while losing weight is critical. Much of the overeating we do is mistaking thirst for hunger. If we can keep our bodies, which are made up of over 60% water, hydrated, they burn calories and metabolize food at an optimal rate!”

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit.

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “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.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that 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 Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
