Jessica Biel is celebrating her birthday – by working out at the gym. In a few new social media posts shared by the actress and also her trainer, Ben Bruno, Mrs. Justin Timberlake executes some pretty impressive squats. “Happy birthday, @jessicabiel!” Bruno captioned the post, going on to reveal details about her workout. What is the leg move responsible for her stems and booty? Here is everything you need to know about her workout and other lifestyle habits.


1. Being “Aware” of Her Body

Jessica.Beil.3Jessica Beil/Instagram

Jessica is very in touch with her body. "I'm aware of how my muscles feel, what it feels like when anything changes. Playing sports and being physical helps me maintain that sort of relationship with my own body. So when I'm doing something, or performing in a physical role, I understand that," Jessica explained to ESPN.

2. Workout Buddies

Jessica has the perfect workout buddy – husband Justin Timberlake. “Please excuse the photobomb from @justintimberlake while @jessicabiel casually knocks out a super-impressive set of single leg squats,” Bruno captioned one video of their workout. “We’ll give Justin a pass since he’s doing sled rows with four plates on the sled and making it look easy. They’ve definitely gotta be one of the fittest couples around, and they always work hard in the gym while also making sure to keep it fun. Very cool.” “Swolemates,” she captioned another couple’s workout clip.

3. Yoga

Jessica has been doing yoga for several years "I started getting into yoga about 10 years ago through a close friend who was an instructor. At first I felt like, ‘I can’t do all those crazy poses,’ and I still can’t, but I’m not competing with anyone. I want to demystify yoga and bring it out to more women and men in the community, where it doesn’t have to be intimidating,” Jessica told Gaiam about her love of the practice.

4. No Gluten, Wheat, and Dairy

Jessica’s diet is “not all-out anything," but she does avoid a few things. "Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she told Los Angeles Times. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy." She starts her day with Paleo pancakes “with some cashew or almond butter on top with some local honey, and we like chicken-apple sausage, and then maybe a fresh juice from the Juicero machine, which we love, we have some green tea with honey—that’s a pretty normal morning for me,” she said. Lunch might be a salad with greens from her garden with quinoa or a veggie burger from Whole Foods and nuts. One of her favorite snacks is gluten-free pretzels with dairy-free almond 'cheese' dip. “And then dinner, if we’re home, it would be cooking up some salmon, some rice, grilling some vegetables, or going out and having some chicken, something a little heartier for dinner,” she added

5. Hiking

Jessica is such an avid hiker that she has even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. "I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me,” she told Glamour. “When you get out into the wilderness and strip [away] all of the stuff in your everyday life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it is. Needing things starts to feel like, Oh, I kind of have everything, don't I? It's pretty great.

6. Single Leg Squats Into Deficit Lunges

Jessica.Beil.5Jessica Beil/Instagram

“What better way to celebrate than by doing single leg squats into deficit lunges. That’s a real party if you ask me,” Bruno wrote about the exercise Jess can be seen doing in the clip. “I’ll tell you guys what it’s really like to train Jess. I’ll think up some obscenely hard exercise in hopes of actually challenging her and then show her one shaky demo (these are really hard!). She’ll then proceed to knock out 3-4 sets with better form than me while smiling and singing @justintimberlake new song. In between sets she’ll field questions from her kids or help them with their form if they’re working out with her, and then at the end when I tell her she did a good job, she’ll go ‘was that good?’ Like, she doesn’t even know that what she did was hard. Yes Jess, it’s VERY good. Show her some love on her special day because she’s a real badass.”

1. She Loves to Workout

One of the key ways Vanessa stays in sensational shape is by working out daily. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade about her workouts. She tries to get her workouts in as soon after waking up as possible. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

2. She Did Sumo Squats with a Kettlebell

Vanessa started off her mini workout video, which was first shared by her trainer in May, by perfectly executing sumo squats with a kettlebell. The compound exercise is incredibly effective, forcing a variety of muscles -- including glutes, quadriceps, calves -- to workout together. Clearly she was having some fun with her fitness routine, as she playfully stuck out her tongue for the camera.

3. She Did a Side Squat with Resistance Band and Medicine Ball

In another compound exercise, Hudgens held a medicine ball while she executed a slide squat, a move made extra hard with the addition of a resistance band around her ankles.

4. She Did a Reverse Lunge to High Knee with Dumbbells

5. Vanessa Also Does a Bunch of Other Workouts

In addition to weight and strength training, Vanessa stays in shape with lots of other workouts. Pilates, Soul Cycle, hot yoga, and strength training are a few of her favorite workouts—and sometimes she even does multiple workouts a day. “Some days when I have the time, I love doing Pilates first and then going over to Soul Cycle. I love a double up!” she told Parade. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up. I’ve been going to this Pilates studio called WundaBar for years and it’s just a great deep muscle-training workout. It’s not super high intensity but I always feel it the next day.”

Jessica Biel can do everything her husband, Justin Timberlake can do – in the gym. In a new social media post, the actress shows off her amazing body and impressive strength while pulling herself up while holding onto rings. “Ok now ladies…” Timberlake captioned the Instagram video. “This is basically the black belt version of working out 💪” commented the couple’s trainer, Ben Bruno. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. She Is a Fan of the Workout Buddy System

As can be evidence in her latest post, Jessica’s husband is her workout buddy. “Please excuse the photobomb from @justintimberlake while @jessicabiel casually knocks out a super-impressive set of single leg squats,” Bruno captioned a video of the two exercising together. “We’ll give Justin a pass since he’s doing sled rows with four plates on the sled and making it look easy. They’ve definitely gotta be one of the fittest couples around, and they always work hard in the gym while also making sure to keep it fun. Very cool.”

2. She Does Yoga

Jessica has been doing yoga for many years. She initially got into it “through a close friend who was an instructor. At first I felt like, ‘I can’t do all those crazy poses,’ and I still can’t, but I’m not competing with anyone. I want to demystify yoga and bring it out to more women and men in the community, where it doesn’t have to be intimidating,” Jessica told Gaiam. Here is why you should try yoga, says 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.”

3. She Hikes

Jessica is all about hiking and mountain climbing.. She once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. "I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me,” she told Glamour about the experience. “When you get out into the wilderness and strip [away] all of the stuff in your everyday life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it is. Needing things starts to feel like, Oh, I kind of have everything, don't I? It's pretty great.” The National Parks Service explains that the physical benefits of hiking include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.

4. No Gluten, Wheat, Dairy

Jessica is “not all-out anything" with her diet, but she does avoid a few things. "Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she told Los Angeles Times. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy."

5. Paleo Pancakes and Protein

Nicole Scherzinger is a true multi-talent. From her time as the lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls to her roles as a TV personality on The Masked Singer and Dancing With The Stars, and her acting credits, including Moana and its upcoming sequel, Scherzinger continues to captivate fans. Currently starring on Broadway in Sunset Boulevard, she proves she’s a force to be reckoned with.


Scherzinger recently took to Instagram to share her workout routine, showcasing strength training, squats, lunges, pulldowns, and treadmill exercises.

When you have discipline you get what you want.” Her dedication to fitness reflects the discipline she brings to every aspect of her career, inspiring fans to stay strong and focused on their goals.

1. She Strength Trains

Scherzinger likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. Strength training has a lot of health benefits.

Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.”

2. She Does Squats

Scherzinger is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “The squat is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles.

3. She Does Lunges

Nicole Scherzinger.3Nicole Scherzinger/Instagram

Scherzinger doesn’t skip leg day. She is seen doing lunges with dumbbells and an elevated foot in her Instagram video. According to ACE Fitness, lunges are a great workout. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers.”

4. She Does Pulldowns

Nicole Scherzinger.5Nicole Scherzinger.5

Scherzinger makes sure to work her upper body. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing lateral pulldowns. According to Piedmont, doing these can 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.”

5. She Runs On The Treadmill

Scherzinger is also seen on the treadmill in her Instagram video. According to Healthy Talbot, using a treadmill can lead to a lot of health benefits. “Treadmills provide outstanding cardiovascular exercises, which can significantly enhance your heart health.

They can help to diagnose cardiac issues like heart disease and artery blockages. Under normal circumstances, your body may not exhibit symptoms of these heart conditions. However, when put under pressure through a workout, those symptoms will be displayed.”

Jena Sims, a successful model and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie for 2024, is gearing up for a major photoshoot by focusing on her fitness. Recently, she shared some behind-the-scenes moments on her Instagram story, where she was seen working out with fellow model Sixtine Royer and fitness expert Denise Austin. Dressed in black workout gear, Sims appeared focused and motivated. Her training routine is part of her preparation to maintain her stunning physique, and she’s using a variety of exercises to ensure she’s at her best for the shoot. Sims proves that even at the top of her game, she’s still putting in the work to stay fit and confident.


1. She Works With A Trainer

As you can see from her Instagram story, Sims is seen working with a trainer. ACE Fitness states that personal training has a lot of health benefits. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them.”

2. She Does Hip Thrusts

Sims shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is hip thrusts. Sims captioned the post, “Let’s build-a-booty 🧸🍑 in the gym 💪🏼” Gymless states that hip thrusts are very effective. “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

3. She Does Lunges

Jena Sims.2Jena Sims/Instagram

Sims is also seen doing lunges in the previous Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that lunges are very effective. “If you're doing front and back lunges, you’ll primarily be working the gluteus maximus, adductors, and quadriceps. Side lunges will work the gluteus medius more. And if you’re taking bigger steps forward and back, you’ll use more of the glute muscles, while smaller steps will target the quadriceps more.”

4. She Does Squats

Sims also likes to do squats to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this Instagram video. Squats have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Squats target and strengthen your thighs, hips and butt. Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, really. It also generates power for upper-body movements and all kinds of other activities.”

5. She Ignores The Negativity

Jena Sims.1Jena Sims/Instagram

Sims opened up about being in the spotlight in an interview with The New York Post. She says that she has learned to ignore what people say about her. “I always tell myself, you can be the ripest, juiciest peach and there’s always going to be someone who doesn’t like peaches. There’ll always be people who will be like, ‘get a job,’ or ‘stop spending your husband’s money’ or ‘wow it’s a shame you don’t have any of your own hobbies or talent.’ ”

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. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

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.

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 🫶🏼🫶🏼”
