Lacrosse Star Alex Aust in Two-Piece Workout Gear "Works on Tan"

Alex Aust is breaking a sweat – in her two-piece swimsuit. In a new social media post the lacrosse star exercises on her patio using free weights and ankle weights. “When you realize a 30 minute sweat is the best way to work on your tan,” she writes about the video. “Why not kill 2 birds with one stone?? However the eyes are basically closed the whole time due to being a head sweater 😅😅😅,” she added in the caption. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are all of her top diet and fitness tips.

1. Spike Your Coffee with Prebiotics

Alex drinks coffee infused with Inulin prebiotics, she told Now Foods. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “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. Prebiotics are great for gut health.

2. Do Yoga and HIIT Workouts

Through playing lacrosse, Alex has discovered HIIT and yoga. “I’ve found that nothing bonds and lifts people up more than sweating together,” she told Pro Lacrosse Talk. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

3. Go for a Walk

Alex takes her dog on daily walks. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. Play Pickleball

Alex has recently gotten into pickleball. The racquet sport is very similar to tennis, which blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination, says ACE Fitness.

5. Do Strength Training

Alex has revealed that she also does strength training, which she demonstrates in her video. 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

Hawaiian surfing champion Anastasia Ashley previously said she is not into the cold—but this time she’s making an exception to go snowboarding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Ashley, 37, shared a video of herself wearing purple leggings and a matching cropped tank top, layering more and more clothes on top of her outfit. “Getting ready for snowboarding means a ton of gear 😝,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Ashley’s many favorite workouts look like.

1. Her Favorite Workouts

Ashley’s favorite workouts aside from surfing are racing and spinning. “I love spinning—I think it is one of the best workouts besides surfing,” she told Surfer.com. “I try and go to the gym Equinox, they have the best classes. I love driving, even though I'm not the best car driver (haha). I like to go out to the desert and drive dune buggies in the sand dunes. I also like to get my race on at K-1 Racing. It's an indoor kart racing course with gas powered cars.”

2. Healthy Hawaiian/Asian Food

Ashley genuinely enjoys healthy foods, especially fresh produce and Hawaiian/Asian cuisine. “I try to eat really healthy,” she told Surfer.com. “I'm not really a fan of junk food or anything super processed. I eat Sambazon Acai all the time. It's a great pre-surf meal. One of my favorite places to eat is Captain Mauris in San Clemente. They have really great fresh squeezed juices and salads. I also love Hapa J's as well. They have great Hawaiian/Asian inspired food and a fun atmosphere.”

3. Bikinis, Not Wetsuits

Ashley will always choose a bikini over a wetsuit. “The more fitness I do, the more energy I feel. I love going to group workouts with friends,” she told The Purist Online. “I’ve done my share of Barry’s Bootcamp and kickboxing. I also love hiking or biking. The more fitness I do, the more energy I feel. I like to surf in warmer water. When I’m in a wetsuit, I know I’m on the wrong beach.

4. Twerking Warm Ups

Ashley is infamous for her cheeky twerking warm ups before hitting the surf. “I definitely like to zone out and get excited by making a great playlist and blasting my headphones,” she told Guest of a Guest. “I try not to talk to anyone and focus. I like to do jumping jacks, stretches, and get loosened up for the events, and I'm known to get lost and dance a little!”

5. Role Model For Next Generation

Ashley didn’t have many role models growing up—but she wants that to change. "I want to be out there and show you can be a strong, fearless, independent athlete and be a woman," she told Refinery29. "Growing up, it wasn’t a cool thing to be a female athlete or a female surfer. It taught me to be strong and do what I love.”

Lo Bosworth is just the latest celebrity to jump on the pickleball bandwagon—but her parents are practically professionals at the game. Bosworth, 37, shared a video of herself wearing two-piece black workout gear, hitting the court with mom and dad. “Two hours later, we’re done. My parents are really good. When they play together they win club championships. So, my boyfriend and I went down a number of times. But really fun,” she says in the video. “Playing pickleball with my parents ☀️ #pickleball #pickleballhighlights #ditl #dayinthelife,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Bosworth is fit, happy, and thriving in her 30s.

1. No Dairy

Bosworth enjoys a “breakfast salad” made with eggs, broccoli, and avocado for breakfast, and tries to maintain a mostly balanced diet. "I cut dairy out of my diet recently,” she told Well+Good. “At first it was for weight loss, and it has actually turned out to really help my headaches, brain fog, and bloating. Every once in a while, I have a cheat day just like everyone else."

2. Natural Beauty

Bosworth is gentle with her approach to beauty. “So I’m at the place where I really have to do a lot of preventative care,” she told Stylecaster. “There’s also Suppin, a Japanese philosophy and lifestyle. It really means so much to me because it really falls in line with how I approach beauty. It’s about true, natural beauty; beauty from within. It’s about loving who you really are, what you really look like and trying not to change that too much.”

3. Skincare First

Bosworth likes to keep her makeup simple and natural. “Having really beautiful glowing skin is my number one priority when it comes to my beauty routine, and then eyelashes and brows after that,” she told Well+Good. “So, I like to use a nice thick foundation to even out my skin tone.”

4. New York Workouts

Bosworth works out six days a week. "It makes me feel clear-minded,” she told Well+Good. “I do personal training at Soho Strength Lab, and then a couple of days a week I go to the Nicole Winhoffer method. I love her, she's amazing. Best class in New York City, hands down. It's 35 minutes of toning and then dance. It is so fun. She has the best personality. She has a cult following.”

5. LA Workouts

Bosworth enjoys cardio sessions and SLT. “The ultimate day off would be spent with friends and family,” she told Stylecaster. “I love to get in a great high-intense-speed cardio workout. I either take classes at studios or I go to the gym and run on the treadmill. My favorite workout is probably SLT—strengthen, lengthen, tone; a combo of cardio and Pilates. In L.A. it’s called the Studio (MDR).”

Fitness influencer and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Katie Austin is showing fans the workouts she does before hitting the runway for the iconic magazine. Austin, the daughter of Denise Austin, shared a video of herself wearing light pink two-piece workout gear, doing a mat workout in the sunshine. “Cannot wait to walk my 4th year of the iconic @si_swimsuit runway show tonight!!! Here are 4 things I prioritize when prepping for my walk🫶 …now who’s tuning in?!❤️‍🔥” she captioned the post. Here’s how Austin trains, eats, and lives her happiest life.

1. Variety of Workouts

Austin loves Pilates, strength training, cardio, and barre-type workouts. "I mix up my workouts and really lean into variety,” she told Women’s Health. "I like the combination of something a little bit lighter on the body paired with more intense strength training, in addition to some cardio. But if I only have time to work out, say, two days that week, I'll do cardio and sculpt mixed together—It's my favorite way to work out."

2. Shooting For Sports Illustrated

Austin didn’t find her Sports Illustrated shoot intimidating. “One thing I love most about SI Swimsuit is their encouragement to be your most authentic self and showcase it,” she told E! News. “So, when it came time to prep for my SI shoot, I didn't do an entire overhaul of my lifestyle, but rather focused on things that were already important to me! I ate a balanced diet, worked out, and prioritized my mental health and routine!”

3. Balanced, Delicious Diet

Austin is grateful she and her sister were raised to have a positive relationship with food. "My parents always had hearty, yet healthy, home-cooked meals on the table for us—like a pot roast and baked potato," she told Women’s Health. "I knew that I needed carbs, protein, fat, nutrients to power my workouts and game and give me energy. I always like to ask myself, 'What are you adding in?' I don't focus on restriction or subtracting ingredients or food groups or anything. I don't eliminate. My mom has such a zest for life, but also a zest for food!"

4. Fitness Advice

Austin has good advice for anyone just starting on their fitness journey. “Don't expect to lose 20 pounds in a week or run a marathon in a month,” she told E! News. “Set small, achievable goals that you can work towards over time. For example, aim to walk for 30 minutes a day, or to do 10 push-ups without stopping. Celebrate your successes along the way, no matter how small they may seem.”

5. Workout Phases

Austin switches up her workouts depending on her mood. "We go through different phases of life and reasons why we work out," she told Women’s Health. "One week, I could be working out simply because I'm really stressed, and I'm craving lower-impact movement that just feels gentle and good. Then the next six months I may be training harder with weights to gain strength. Changes and shifts are great."

Professional golfer Lexi Thompson is getting ready for the 2024 season by hitting the gym. Thompson, 28, shared a picture of herself wearing shorts and a talk top, using a cable machine. “Few more days before heading out to get the 2024 season started 👊🏼💪🏼,” she captioned the post. “You are a rock star in the gym Lexi,” a fan commented. Thompson is the youngest golfer to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open—here’s what her training and wellness regimen looks like.

1. Cardio and Strength Training

Thompson works out twice a day to stay competition-ready. “I’m not one to ever give my secrets away, however, the importance of weight training and cardio has been a major aspect of my life,” she told Modern Luxury Palm Beach. “I eat healthy all the time and include lots of protein. I try to make sure everything is balanced with my training regimen.”

2. Fitness First

Fitness is very important for Thompson, during both tournaments and the off season. “Weeks out on the LPGA Tour can sometimes be long and strenuous,” she told Athleisure Magazine. “I often arrive to a golf tournament on Monday of tournament week with two practice rounds prior to the first round of competition. When I’m at home, I work out twice in the gym daily. I always like to work out in the morning as I am an early riser and typically will do cardio later in the day… During my off-season you’ll most likely find me in the gym. Fitness is an extremely important part of my routine and has become an extremely important part of my overall life.”

3. Consistent Routine

Thompson has a consistent routine for tournaments. “My routine is extremely important to my success on the golf course,” she told Athleisure Magazine. “Prior to leaving for a tournament, I typically play multiple rounds of golf at my home course before leaving. I try to put the least amount of stress on my body during a tournament week, so I am prepared to go for round one and maintain my energy through the final round. By keeping a consistent routine, I am able to perform at the highest level consistently.”

4. Skincare Line

Thompson was inspired to create her beauty line Lexi Skin after spending years in the sun for golf. “Skincare has always been a passion of mine,” she told Athleisure Magazine. “Playing golf and outdoor sports my whole life, I have had a ton of sun exposure. I have really had to learn how to protect my skin and as I have become a little older, prevent it from premature aging. I was introduced to Dr. Arthur Swift and Dr. Stewart Davis, and together we have developed unique anti-aging skin care products that are highly effective and priced appropriately for active women like me.”

5. LPGA Founders Award

Thompson won the 2023 LPGA Founders Award and is dedicated to her fans. “I’m very focused on my golf game as well. But I love to give back and see the fans out there and interact with all volunteers. That’s how my mom raised me,” Thompson told Sarah Kellam. “I always just try to make somebody else’s day better or put a smile on their face over myself. Could be a blessing and a curse, but honestly, it makes me feel better about myself if I make somebody else happier. That’s what we’re all trying to do. We’re trying to grow the game and LPGA.”
