She captioned the post, “Hold on tight, spider monkey.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kira Kosarin stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Swims

Kosarin likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Kosarin shared these photos of herself in the pool. She captioned it, “NEW MUSIC SZN 🤠 BIKINI SZN 🤠💖 my two favorite seasons.” She also shared this photo of herself snorkeling while a sea turtle swam nearby.

Kosarin isn’t afraid to speak out in support of causes that are important to her. In the caption of the previous Instagram post, she talked about the importance of supporting the environment, and shared some reasons why. “Certain kinds of sunscreen kill our coral reefs, so here are the chemicals to keep an eye out for and avoid when choosing what to put on before going in the ocean 🌊Oxybenzone. Octinoxate. Octocrylene. Homosalate. 4-methylbenzylidene camphor. PABA. Parabens. Triclosan. Any nanoparticles or ‘nano-sized’ zinc or titanium (if it doesn’t explicitly say ‘micro-sized’ or ‘non-nano’ and it can rub in, it’s probably nano-sized). Any form of microplastic, such as ‘exfoliating beads.’”

3. She Does Yoga

Kosarin likes to practice yoga to stay in shape. In this set of photos she posted on Instagram, she is seen doing poses. Kosarin captioned the post, “Daily routine ☀️🧘‍♀️🤸‍♀️🍍When I’m not making music, I’m doing yoga, and this week I’m doing both in the sand.” Harvard Health states that yoga can improve a person’s diet. “People who practice yoga and are mindful eaters are more in tune with their bodies. They may be more sensitive to hunger cues and feelings of fullness. 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. 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.”

4. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Kosarin tells YSB Now that she makes sure to do a lot of different things to stay in shape. And that includes food and recipes. “I get really, really bored if I do the same thing over and over,” she explained. “So I’m always trying to find new ways to work out. Enjoy the journey of discovering new ways to be fit and healthy and new recipes and foods, instead of focusing on that goal weight on the scale.”

5. She Finds Balance

Kosarin shared her wellness secrets in an interview with YSB Now. She says that when it comes to exercise, she makes sure to find a good balance. “It’s deciding the days when you need to tell your friends, ‘I can’t hang out, I need to go on the treadmill for an hour for my own mental sanity.’ Or deciding when to say, ‘I’m gonna give my body a break and go hang out with my friends.'”

Katy O’Brian is showing off her guns for GQ. In a new photoshoot the Love Lies Bleeding star flexes for the cameras, flaunting her incredibly strong body. “You look amazing and most of us probably envy your shape,” commented one of her followers. Another added “good lawd 🔥.” How does the 35-year-old approach diet and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Battling Crohn’s Disease

Katy battles Crohn’s disease, an autoimmune condition with symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and intense fatigue. “My symptoms started at least a year before my diagnosis when I suddenly lost 15 pounds. Then I was just so tired, to the point of feeling like I could barely function, especially after a bigger meal. Meanwhile, it wasn’t unusual for me to have diarrhea four times over the course of a 12-hour day of filming. I had no idea what was going on, so I chalked my GI issues and fatigue up to nerves,” she told Self. “Then there were some weird symptoms that you don’t typically think of as being part of Crohn’s: I developed open sores on the corner of my mouth; I started having night sweats; and when I experienced even the slightest surprise, it felt like a bolt of electricity was shooting through my body.”

2. Martial Arts

Aside from being an actress and writer, “martial arts instructor” is also on Katy’s resume. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

3. Strength Training

While filming Love Lies Bleeding, Katy spent two to three hours every day at the gym doing cardio and lifting. “My character, Jackie, is training for a bodybuilding competition, so in addition to filming gym scenes and some pretty intense action scenes, I had to work out for multiple hours every night once I got home,” she told the publication.

4. Watching Her Diet

“Paying attention to how my body reacts to different things has been a game changer for me. I’ve had to just try different things and see how they affect me. For instance, I have issues with high-fat foods and spicy foods. (Although I have to admit, while I moderate how much spicy food I eat, I’m not ready to give it up completely.) I’ve also found that taking a multivitamin that includes a digestive enzyme before I eat a questionable meal tends to work really well,” Katy said about her diet. “The filmmakers did an amazing job of making sure I was taken care of on set. I had a nutritionist who was responsible for all my meals, which made it easy to eat really healthy and to avoid my trigger foods,” said Katy.

5. Lower-Intensity Cardio and Rest

“I also had a trainer who designed a program that prioritized sustainability; whereas I’d usually do martial arts as my cardio, in addition to lifting, he had me doing lower-intensity cardio and taking one day fully off per week,” Katy added.

Karen Fukuhara is dancing up a storm in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post The Boys star shows off her flat abs in a summer look, celebrating one of her pals. “Friend’s rave themed Bday ✨🪩🦄 @spirithoods,” 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.

1. Martial Arts

Karen is experienced in martial arts. “I started karate in middle school when my parents wanted me to babysit my younger brother. He was a little troublemaker, so they wanted me to make sure the class was going okay. I ended up being way more into it than my brother. I did competitions; I’ve flown to Japan to compete in the worldwide championships as well. I ended at a brown striped belt but then went off to college,” she told Vogue.

2. Strength Training

Karen maintains that when she got cast in Suicide Squad she wasn’t in shape and had to get back into fighting and strength training. “Yes, it had been years; I lost a lot of the right kind of muscles. David really focused on the actors doing their own stunts because he wanted to create reality, and that’s the best way to do it. So we had a month and a half of preproduction [to train]. For me, I did sword fighting, martial arts, and fitness, but all of the training worked together. I would do the right kind of weight lifting so that I could lift the sword—and sword fighting is actually a lot of core,” she told Vogue. 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

3. Protein and Carbs

As for her diet, Karen balances carbs with protein. “Well, I love food and I love carbs: Pasta, rice—that’s my thing. But for the movie, a lot of your physicality comes from not only training but your diet, too. I ate a lot of quinoa, greens, chicken breast. There wasn’t a nutritionist, but we did have meals that were specifically made for us,” she told Vogue.

4. Dance

In her latest post, Karen looks ready to dance. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but 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 heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

5. Gym Workouts

When she isn’t training for a role, Karen still makes sure to exercise. “I try to go to the gym. I either go on the rower or watch a TV show on the treadmill, and then I do some weight lifting. Having a trainer changes your life, it really does. I want to get back into that groove. And I just got back to the same karate dojo that I used to do in high school. Right now, the little kids are doing way better than I am!” she says.
