Michelle is a successful singer. She also hosted the Lifetime program, My Killer Body. Michelle previewed a new song on her Instagram this week. She captioned the post, “ID RATHER FALL INTO A STRANGERS ARMS,THAN FALL APART✍🏽🌻🎤 ‘Where The night goes’ from new album. ‘OUTLAW MUSIC’ ❤️ I heard yall said no auto tune cause you like it rough. raw doggin @kimberlyispuddin is Kountry time.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways K. Michelle stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Wants To Raise Awareness

In an interview with Black Health Matters, Michelle talked about why she did her show, My Killer Body. She says that she wanted to raise awareness of side effects of plastic surgery. “There are several people who’ve gone through this who are just starting to feel the effects of it,” she explained. “You even have women who recently had this procedure and are feeling the effects right away. You only see the beauty, and you only see the stories…after they have Photoshopped their body to death, on top of the surgery. What I wanted to do was speak the whole truth and nothing but the truth about it.”

2. She’s Confident

Michelle is all about having confidence in herself. She told Black Health Matters, “I feel hopeful, and I feel happy to be healthy and able to function. I think that brings another beauty within itself. I think I got a grown woman on me, and I think that is beautiful. So I’m in a good place with how I feel about myself.”

3. She Does Research

Focused,Young,African,American,Businesswoman,Or,Student,Looking,At,LaptopShutterstock

Michelle wants people to do research before having procedures done. “I am for whatever you want to do with your body,” she told Black Health Matters. “It is a thing we must do called research, and even within research, we can still decide that we don’t expect the outcome. That is just surgery, and it’s something you just have to be mentally be prepared for and understand. Know your medical history and what you’re going through. How does your body react to different things before going under the knife? It is really a self-study. It’s nothing quick that you should just up and do. Just like you research when you want to buy a car, you should definitely research what you’re going to do with your life and your body because you only get one.”

4. She Dances

Michelle is an avid dancer. She shared this video on Instagram of herself practicing choreography for her tour. USADance.org states that dance has a lot of benefits. “Physically, dancing is a great body conditioner, even if done on a near-weekly basis. If done on a regular basis, such as two to three times a week, it becomes quite a beneficial activity. It will increase that mid-afternoon stamina needed on the job, it will develop that circulatory ‘second-heart’, strengthen your legs, and will generally tone the body over-all. As mentioned before, walking and body movement become easier, more balanced, and more fluid, with greater flexibility in axis of movement.”

5. She Spends Time With Horses

Michelle is an animal lover. She’s a big fan of horses. In this Instagram post, Michelle is seen petting a horse. According to The American Heart Association, horses and riding have a lot of benefits. “Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories,” said Dr. Dennis Sigler, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horse specialist and professor in the department of animal science at Texas A&M University in College Station. “If you do something a bit more strenuous such as cutting or reining, that can come out to nearly seven calories per minute for the entire length of the riding period.”

And, according to her followers, she is teasing a new single, Been Like This, from her upcoming album. How does the mother-of-two stay fit?

1. She “Worked Every Day” to Lose Her Baby Weight

Spotlight: Meghan TrainorRebecca Sapp/Getty Images

Meghan revealed to Entertainment Tonight Canada that when she gave birth to her first son Riley, she was at her “heaviest” and it impacted her emotionally and physically. “I was my heaviest I've ever been, I was like over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out. I just wasn't feeling great”’ she said. “I've never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place and I wanted to be in a great place for my son,” she added. To lose the weight, “I worked every day and challenged myself,” she continued. “I was like, ‘If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!’ I was very dedicated, and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time, one pound… I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I’m just [feeling] better than ever.”

2. Her Son Motivates Her

Her biggest motivation to get into shape was her son. “I want to run and keep up with my kid. I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and run out there and not be in my head about it. And I want to climb up a treehouse with him,” she told PEOPLE. “I've lost all the baby weight and 10 extra lbs., so I'm just going to keep going and do this for my younger self.”

3. She Lost One Pound Per Week

Goal,Weight,Date,On,CalendarShutterstock

Megan told PEOPLE that she had a slow and steady approach to weight loss. “I did it the healthy way, the long way, the one pound a week way. And it's a proud accomplishment that I never thought I could ever do,” she said.

4. She Works Out with a Person Trainer

Meghan has been working with Rebecca Stanton (@rebeccabroxfit) for years. The two do everything from simple strength and weight training to HIIT style workouts.

5. Her Husband Is Her Workout Buddy and Fitspiration

In 2018, Meghan told Entertainment Tonight that her husband, Daryl Sabara, is her workout buddy. “He really changed my life. He showed me how working out can be fun. I didn't believe it, but now it's true and it feels so good when you're sore -- I love that feeling now, I'm addicted to it,” she said. “He cooks for me and taught me to cook. I never knew how to cook. He taught me, like, secrets how to make your food taste great but also be healthy for you.”

6. She Eats Smaller Portions

Meghan maintains that it isn’t just what she eats – but how much of it – that is crucial to weight loss. “I learned what portions mean. I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time,” she said.

Michelle Khare is a very successful influencer. She first became known for appearing in several Buzzfeed videos. After leaving the company, she started her own channel. One of Khare’s recent accomplishments is training in martial arts. A few weeks ago, she shared a video on Instagram of herself breaking a set of bricks.

She Does Martial Arts

As you can see from her Instagram post, Khare likes to do martial arts to stay in shape. Naturally Balanced states that doing them has a lot of benefits. “The benefits of martial arts training are manifold. Depending on the martial art you choose, each will provide you with a wealth of lessons and experiences. Benefits may include: improved discipline, better fitness, enhanced well-being, getting to know your body and its limits, learning to concentrate, better self-confidence, learning to be polite.”

She Works With A Trainer

Khare has her own fitness app and shares a lot of her tips on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is workout with a personal trainer. Khare shared this video of herself doing a session with him. She captioned it, “Taking y’all on a burner circuit with my trainer @kevan_watson !! All my workouts and guides are on my app which is getting a total makeover tomorrow 👀 stay tuned… @challengefitness.”

She Jumps Rope

In the previous Instagram video, Khare is seen jumping rope. ACE Fitness states that this can have a lot of benefits. “Jumping rope regularly strengthens the calf muscles and improves the elasticity of the surrounding tendons and fascia. To increase elasticity, try to land on the ball of the foot first, but let your heels go all of the way down to the ground.”

She Does Lunges

Khare is also seen doing lunges in the previous Instagram video. The Columbia Association states that they have a lot of benefits. “This rockstar movement works multiple muscles at the same time. Lunges work your quads, glutes, hips, hamstrings and calves, and also increase the strength of your core. Lunges may look simple, but there’s a lot going on at the same time, which works wonders for your balance and mobility. Since you work one leg at a time, you’re also activating your stabilizer muscles for better stability.”

Cathy Kelley, a prominent journalist and WWE host, brings energy and charisma to everything she does—even at the gym. Recently, Kelley teamed up with her friend, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, for a fun workout session, captured in a hilarious Instagram video of Gellar pushing a weighted cart with Kelley perched on top. Beyond her entertaining personality, Kelley is a strong advocate for self-acceptance and empowering women. She’s shared her journey of overcoming bullying and finding confidence, emphasizing the importance of embracing imperfections. Her fitness routine includes boxing, working out with friends, and fueling her day with a simple yet nutritious breakfast of eggs and avocado. Kelley’s balanced approach to fitness and wellness inspires fans to find joy in their own routines.


1. She Accepts Herself

Kelley opened up about finding acceptance with herself to Cliche Magazine. “I was bullied in high school, and that was a major factor in the self-confidence issues and depression I battled. It was really hard shedding that image of myself that others projected on me, but I realize in retrospect, them putting down another person said more about them than it did about me. I thought for the longest time if I were ‘perfect’ everyone would like me, and I’ve learned no matter where you are at in career, or how much talent you have, or how far along you are in your journey of personal growth there will still be people who have an opinion. The moment you are able to embrace and own your imperfections is when you can truly be free!”

2. She Wants To Promote Women

Kelley is all for the WWE’s promoting of women. She talked about this with Cliche Magazine. “Everyone needs a role model, or someone to look up too. It’s easier to have big dreams when you see someone who looks like you accomplishing big goals. I can’t tell you how incredible of a feeling it is, seeing so many young girls attending WWE shows decked out in the gear of their favorite superstar. It gives me all the feels!”

3. She Likes Eggs

Kelley shared her favorite breakfast in her Us Weekly interview. “If I’m home, I typically have an egg with avocado, plus one very large coffee.” Eggs have a lot of health benefits. Keck Medicine states, “Eating eggs leads to elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as the “good” cholesterol. People who have higher HDL levels have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and other health issues. According to one study, eating two eggs a day for six weeks increased HDL levels by 10%.”

4. She Works Out With Friends

As you can see from the Instagram post, Kelley likes to workout with friends. She talked about this in an interview with Us Weekly. “Over the past few years, exercise has become a fun and calming part of my life rather than a chore. On the weekends, I usually get together with a girlfriend for a workout class. I’m currently loving boxing.”

5. She Boxes

As you can see from the previous blurb, Kelley likes to box. Southern Colorado FCA states that boxing can help with your core. “Many sports do a poor job of developing a strong core that is vital to an athletes overall performance. A weak core can create all kinds of problems - from back pain, lack of balance, poor movement, a weak stance, etc. A weak core can also contribute to other muscles working over time to compensate for an underdeveloped core. The typical high school athlete spends roughly 8 hours a day sitting - most likely sitting in poor posture. An athlete's core is often an afterthought needing intentional attention to be developed. Boxing provides a great focused core workout without all the crunches. Core development comes from maintaining a strong stance, delivering punches on a heavy bag, shadow boxing, and more.”

Meagan Good is dressed to sweat and showing off her flawless figure. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her washboard abs in a matching crop top and leggings as she heads into a workout session. “Sᴜɴᴅᴀʏ‘ȥ ..☕️ 🏃🏾♀️,” she captioned the series of Instagram photos. “Daaaamn she fine! 😍 you are Pure Love & Inspiration,” one of her followers commented. “You look incredible seester,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Works Out 3 to 4 Hours Per Week

Meagan invests a good amount of time in her body every week. “I work with my trainer Augustina about four to five times a week for 45 minutes a day,” she told Black Doctor. “We start out on the treadmill and then we do a lot of exercises using my own body weight. My favorite workouts are anything having to do with making my waistline trimmer and toned. My least favorite is any type of pushup! Everybody wants lightning in a bottle, and while healthy things in a bottle do help, you have to do the work to get the results you really want.”

She Pays Attention to Protein Intake and Portion Sizes

When it comes to diet, the star puts her focus on consuming enough protein and keeping her portions in check. “I try to eat healthy. In the morning, I have a protein shake. In the afternoon I eat mostly whatever I want, I just try to modify it to a healthier choice and a smaller portion—since I still have time to be active if I’m a little bad. In the evening, I stick to baked chicken and veggies,” she dished to Black Doctor. “I think some of the best ways to stay healthy when you have a busy life and career are protein shakes, lots of…… vitamins.”

She Prioritizes Hydration

In addition to rest and beauty products, “water” is one of Meagan’s top “beauty secrets,” she told Black Doctor. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Believes in God

Meagan keeps herself grounded with religion. “Before I go to the gym, I read my Bible, say some affirmations, and listen to some gospel music or something that will help get me in a positive zone to set my intention for the day. The routine starts even before I hit the gym because if I'm already in the right frame of mind, topping it off with a workout makes me feel unstoppable,” she told Byrdie.

And, She Indulges in Self-Care

“I just turned 40, and I've been in many amazing transitions mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I've been valuing time with myself, whether that's journaling, praying, reading, or going to the gym, but it doesn't have to be the same every day. The beauty of caring for yourself is finding freedom. It's your day, and you can do what you want to do to feel present. Sometimes I stay in and cook; other times, I order takeout. I might binge-watch a TV show on a self-care day,” she told Byrdie.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. 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.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. 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, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

A vegan food that Romani enjoys is salad. She shared this Instagram story of herself enjoying a vegan cobb salad. Bupa states that salad is very beneficial. “Salads can contain several foods which are prebiotics. These are foods which act as fuel for healthy bacteria. It also provides a type of indigestible fibre, which can be beneficial for your gut health. Foods to consider including in your salad can be onions, garlic, kale, carrots, and asparagus.”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym.

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
