Keshia Knight Pulliam in Horse Riding Gear Says “2025 Is Year of Joy”

She’s back in the saddle, literally.

Actress and entrepreneur Keshia Knight Pulliam is getting back to one of her favorite activities—horseback riding. Pulliam, 45, shared a picture of herself wearing horse riding gear, a Foxcroft sweater, and a helmet, smiling as she posed on a white horse. “2025 is the year of joy for me!! The question I have started asking myself before every decision is, ‘Does this bring me joy?’ It’s very simple, if the answer is yes I move forward
If not I lovingly decline. This moment brought me JOY!! It’s been over 25 years since my last horse show or riding consistently. I was a little nervous to get back on after all of these years. However, I’m happy I did!!” Pulliam has been in the public eye since she was a little girl—here’s how she stays focused, happy, and strong.


Growing Her Own Food

Pulliam grows her own produce on her farm. "We have a farm outside of Atlanta, Georgia, about 17 acres," she said at the Essence Festival of Culture's Food and Wine activation. "We have a couple of goats, some chickens, some vegetables, and it is our joy. I planted a couple of apple trees, which actually we got some apples this season, so I was so excited for that. But I'm growing over 60 different types of fruits and vegetables. I have plums, apricots, pomegranate, kale, all different types of lettuces, tomatoes, eggplants."

Embracing Her Hair

Pulliam had to take extra care protecting her hair for reality show Splash. “The funny thing is, people only know me for having straight hair for work, but I live in Atlanta where it’s hot and humid in the summertime,” she told Essence. “So when I’m home I wear my hair natural. My hair is naturally curly, I don’t have a relaxer. I just use really good products because at the end of the day, it’s all about keeping your hair hydrated and making sure when you get out of that chlorine you wash your hair. No matter what your hair looks like o

Health First

Pulliam is passionate about health over beauty. “As a Black woman trying different products and figuring out what works best for me, the one thing that I realized is that hair brands lump us together as having ‘black hair’ but all black hair is not alike,” she told Essence. “We cross a spectrum more than any other ethnic group and our hair has always been about looking like someone else’s instead of embracing what God has given us. For me it’s about healthy hair.”

Motherhood Challenges

Pulliam had her second child in her early 40s, and says having two young kids later in life has its own set of challenges. “The best thing is when you’re an older mom, I think you appreciate it a little more because you’ve had fun, you’ve lived life, you’ve kicked it, you’ve done all the things,” she told The Bump. “So now you can really just turn your focus on these two little humans who are looking to you
 They get the best of you. I love that. The downside, of course, is you’re older, so you’re a little tired.”

Self-Care For Moms

Pulliam loves her family but emphasizes how important self-care is for mothers. “Family has always been the most important thing to me. I come from a big loving, boisterous family myself,” she told The Bump. “I’m the oldest of four—I have three brothers. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t look forward to having a family of my own.”

It’s been a volatile season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for Sutton Stracke (esophagus-gate, anyone?), but she knows the best way to shake off any drama is to get outside in the fresh air. Stracke, 52 shared a picture of herself riding her beloved horse Santos, dressed in the fancy riding gear we would expect from the luxury-loving reality star. Also featured in the snaps are castmate Kyle Richards and fan favorite Avi Gabay. “Santos makes another appearance as well as @avi_gabay_ (my true love),” she captioned the post. Here’s how Stracke lives her best real life.


1. Horseback Riding

Stracke displayed her love for horses and horseback riding on RHOBH, introducing the world to her beautiful horse Santos. “Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories,” Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horse specialist and professor in the department of animal science Dr. Dennis Sigler tells the American Heart Association. “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.”

2. Inspired By Castmates

Stracke is inspired by her Bravo castmates, even when they don’t always see eye to eye. “Being around a group of strong-minded women makes you have to step-up, so I’ve definitely learned to speak up. Even witnessing the filming of last season showed that to me,” she told Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine. “The girls are not only mothers, they’re actresses and businesspeople and it was amazing to see how they’re juggling everything. It was great because seeing them gave me the impetus to do more and now I have the knowledge that I can. They were really great role models to me in that sense.”

3. Luxury Boutique

Sutton.Stracke.3Sutton Stracke/Instagram

Stracke has a luxury boutique “Sutton” in Beverly Hills, which keeps her busy when she’s not filming. Research shows working at a job you genuinely love is good for mental health. “The whole space is like a cottage,” she told Beverly Hills Lifestyle magazine. “I wanted it to feel like part-closet, part-boudoir, part living space, and part dining room, because those are the key elements in all of our lives.”

4. Garcelle Is Her BFF

Stracke has genuine friendships on the show, especially with castmate Garcelle Beauvais. “I have a very real friendship with Garcelle,” she told Hollywood Life. “We text, we call, we visit — we’re going on vacation together this summer. We’re really best friends and I love her so much and we love our families together and everything.”

5. Living Her Best Life

Stracke is always true to herself, on screen and off. “Success to me means that you live your best life every day,” she told Digital Journal. “Whether it is being the best mother you can be, the best wife, the best businesswoman, the best friend that you can be. It’s not about awards or accolades, it’s about being true to yourself and attempting to achieve your goals, no matter how big or small.”

1. She Believes Beauty and Wellness are Correlated

“As I’ve matured, I’ve realized the true correlation is between beauty and wellness,” she told W Magazine. “You don’t see that when you’re 20 years old, but as you mature, you start to realize that you can’t rely on genetics anymore, and that you must make a conscious effort in your life. It’s easy to make, it’s not like oh, I have a huge list of things I do. But I am conscious about the decisions I make for myself. And I have noticed that when I feed my body rich, plant-based nutrients, I feel better and I look better. It’s that simple.”

2. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

"It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything," she said at the In goop Health summit, "Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am."

3. She Loves to Dance

Demi has moves. On Instagram, Demi has danced to Goldfrapp (during a photoshoot), danced with fashion designer Pierpaolo Piccioli ("Dancing the night away with @pppiccioli") and done a conga line to ring in “Happy 2020!”—plus she’s done low-impact dance aerobics with a 15-minute Mirror workout.

4. She Once Added a New Mantra

“I added into my daily prayer a new mantra: to have the courage to be seen without padding or protection,” she detailed in her new memoir, Inside Out. “I couldn’t go on fighting my body and my weight; I had to make peace,” she said. “I started by giving up hard exercise. I never went back into the gym in the house. Never. 
 The room it occupied is now my office.”

5. She Makes it a Family Affair

Demi has starred in Andie swimwear ads alongside her daughters. "It was important to me to include my daughters in this campaign, and I hope others seize opportunities in their lives to create meaningful connections and celebrate every moment with the people they love," she wrote, saying the campaign represented "togetherness and showing up for the people you love," so "it was only fitting that I got to share this moment with the people I love most."

Sophia Pierson is best known for starring on the reality series, WAGS. She is also an influencer and YouTuber. Pierson shares a lot of gorgeous photos on her social media accounts. In April, she shared some photos on Instagram of a shoot she did on a tennis court. She captioned the post, “Wanna play?” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sophia Pierson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s Rolling With The Punches

Sophia Pierson.2

Pierson shared her secrets to happiness in this YouTube video. She says that she has learned to role with the punches of life. “I think in life it's good to kind of have a little bit of a plan and a mission, but there's also beauty to going with the flow and rolling with the punches,” she said. “You might have an idea of how something goes, but then you get a divorce or then you enter this field of work, and it's not for you, or you realize, ‘oh, I want it to be a nurse, but I can't handle blood at all’, or something like that. You know what I mean? So things unexpectedly change, and we have to learn to be able to adjust accordingly. So practicing detachment is a super, super important life skill and honestly just a really handy tool to have in order to be truly, genuinely happy. I have found so much joy in just being like, alright, universe, it's in your hands.”

2. She’s Committed

Sophia Pierson.1Sophia Pierson/Instagram

Pierson talked about the secrets for finding happiness in this YouTube video. She says that she made sure to stay committed to her goals. “One thing that I didn't realize is it felt like all the videos that I would watch, it would be such a big life change where overnight I'd have to start going to the gym, meditating, doing all these positive things just like that, and that's so not the case. What I wish I knew back then is the power of consistency and small steps. Also, the other thing too is I was always looking for that quick fix. I used to be a really big stoner, a really, really big stoner. A lot of people, when they're unhappy, obviously turn to some type of outlet like that so they can get their quick fix, but unfortunately, the reality of life is nothing great comes overnight.”

3. She Works Her Lower Body

Sophia Pierson.3Sophia Pierson/Instagram

Pierson doesn’t skip leg day. She shared this video on Facebook of herself doing lower body exercises. In it, Pierson is seen doing things like donkey kicks with a resistance band, and side single leg circles. Piedmont reports that doing lower body workouts has a lot of benefits. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance. Strengthen your bones. Reduce joint pain.”

4. She Rides Horses

Pierson loves to ride horses to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her family going riding on the beach. The American Heart Association states that riding horses has 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.”

5. She’s Learnt Acceptance

Pierson also talked about the importance of acceptance in her YouTube video. “I guess with life you finally learn to accept, but that's always the first step is learning acceptance. It is what it is. And also kind of a prequel to that is not putting things on such a pedestal, and not thinking that it's the end all be all. So it's very good in life to again have desires and dreams, but not obsessively thinking about it and thinking about the future. In order to truly be happy in life, we have to be present in the moment. So if we're constantly thinking about that thing that is in the future, you're not being present. You're not living your best life. So we've understood acceptance.”

1. Her Daughter Was Her Fitspiration

2. This is Her Healthy Intention

3. She Had These Inspirational Words

4. She is Sometimes a “Tiny Vegan”

"Baby vegan is basically a vegan that is completely plant-based, so I'm about 99.9 percent vegan," she shared. "Meaning if the Lord say, 'Today you can have that cheese on that salad,' then I am not going to pick it off because that would be against what the Lord wants for me."

5. She Uses the Treadmill

If possible, she follows that up with a virtual trainer in the afternoon. "No matter what though, I make sure I’m on the treadmill at least four days a week and I get with a trainer once a week,” she told Glamour.

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 đŸ€Ž 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

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.

“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
