1. She Meditates

Rimes loved chanting so much, she released an album called CHANT: “The Human & The Holy. “As I started meditating I started chanting and singing. And as I felt what was coming through needed to come through and felt good, I would press record on my phone and get it down, then expand it from there,” she told Forbes. “Chanting became part of my journey in learning to take my own voice back,” Rimes explains. “I feel like so much of it has been given away outwardly, but I’ve never really used this incredible instrument I have for my own healing.”

“Boxing is one of the best workouts you could possibly do. A two-minute round doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re moving constantly and throwing punches, it wears you out. And boxing workouts really build up your stamina,” she once said.

3. She’s Serious When Working Out

You won’t find Rimes goofing off in the gym. “I’m serious about my exercise. I don’t just doodle around. I see people at the gym talking on their cell phones. If they think their bodies are gonna change, you’ve got to put in the effort!”

4. She Believes in “Nourishment”

"Nourishment usually looks like high-quality, healthy, whole foods, but sometimes nourishment is the cake, the chips, the pizza, and the mac and cheese," LeAnn tells Women's Health. "It’s all a balance." She told the magazine she usually eats leftovers for lunch, for example. "Our leftovers range from mushroom and poblano tacos in almond flour tortillas, to smoky white bean and greens soup, to a delicious chicken and veggie stir fry," she explains.

5. She Has Faced Down Her Anxiety and Depression

“I think it was the biggest gift I’ve ever given myself,” Rimes told Forbes about checking into a clinic to help with her anxiety and depression nearly a decade ago, “to recognize when enough was enough and to ask for help. It was the beginning of the past eight years of my life, of allowing myself to open up in a different way, and really shift myself into a different headspace.” If you need help, don’t hesitate. “I began confronting things I ran away from,” she says, “from the time I was a child, just to survive in the public eye. Growing up the way I did, with all eyes on me, it has taken time to really connect with my true self. As the daughter of parents who divorced at 14, at the height of it all, I had to shut it off to be able to thrive and contain my work. So, when I decided I wanted to change the way I was experiencing life, it led me on this journey.”

LeAnn Rimes is singing one of her new songs in her swimsuit.

In a recent interview with People, LeAnn revealed that she recently started focusing more on self-care. "About six months ago, I started really focusing on taking care of myself," she told them. Breathwork and meditation are an essential part of her new routine. "A big part of my life has been overriding my body because I've had to show up and be on all the time. I've had to care about what people think of me for so long. So not abandoning myself and what I need has been a big shift."

2. She Is Committed to Fitness

LeAnn tries to work out four days a week, no matter where she is. “I take a jump rope with me everywhere I go, so it’s easy to do and easy to do bodyweight workouts in my dressing room,” she told Us Weekly. During her workouts she tries to focus on her glutes. “I do like my butt,” she confessed. “I did something on Instagram called Tight Tush Tuesday and everybody kind of freaked out about it, so it’s become a thing. I work pretty hard on my butt.” Tennis is another one of her favorite ways to sweat.

3. She Is a Fan of the Workout Buddy System

LeAnn has a workout buddy in her husband, Eddie Cibrian, who is “on the same page” as her when it comes to health and fitness. “He likes to be a boy when he works out and make noises and grunt and stuff. I’m like, ‘I can’t even deal with you right now,’” she revealed. The duo go on walks and hikes together, take SoulCycle classes, and help each other with healthy eating. “When I first met him, he was not the healthiest eater at all,” she says. “But I think I’ve gotten him over on my team.”

4. Her Diet Is Healthy

LeAnn maintains a healthy diet. She usually starts the day with a green smoothie, and eats a healthy lunch and dinner, maybe something with a cauliflower base, topped with a protein like marinated and baked tempeh or grilled chicken, and lots of greens and veggies. However, she does allow herself to indulge on occasion. “Sometimes nourishment is the cake, the chips, the pizza, and the mac and cheese," she told Women’s Health.

5. She Chants

LeAnn is a big fan of meditation and chanting, even releasing a chant record, CHANT: The Human & The Holy, in 2020. “I've been creating chants to infuse and send out alongside of my @soulofeverle candles and I had no idea how they would be received, or how much you would connect with my new adventures. I felt so inspired by the overwhelming LovE that you sent my way that I knew I wanted to expand upon the clear nod from the universe that I was on to something special,” she wrote.

Sarah Roberts is an extremely successful actress. She’s best known for her role on the hit Australian series, Home and Away. In May, she shared some photos from Los Angeles on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Eat | Pray | Love | Shmact | Friends 🤟🏽🎬💞 **New & old & so many I didn’t even get the chance to snap. LA #ily 🫶🏽” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sarah Roberts stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Eats Healthy

Roberts makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She shared her typical meals in an interview with New Idea. “It depends on the day and how I’m feeling, but breakfast may be scrambled eggs with bacon or sausages,” Roberts said. “Lunch if I’m being good might be a salad from the studio canteen – I really like the haloumi salad – and dinner may be steak or salmon and salad.”

2. She Does TRX

Roberts likes to do TRX workouts to stay in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself in the gym, using the ropes. Roberts captioned the post, “Big shout out to my big bro & his trainer Pat at The Muscle Clinic for continuing to kick my ass while I was here in Dublin. Won’t be rolling back into Summer Bay...phew!”

3. She Does Workouts She Enjoys

What’s Roberts’ secret to working out on a regular basis? Doing things she enjoys. “I don’t really enjoy the gym,” she said to New Idea. “I like to go running along the beach and I like to dance too – that makes me really happy. And yoga. I think our bodies are so intelligent and can tell us so much about how we’re feeling. I want to try and make exercise choices that make me happy on the inside.”

4. She Does Yoga

Roberts told New Idea that she loves yoga. Harvard Health states that yoga can help with self-esteem. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance. Yoga studios typically don't have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather than how a pose — or the people around them — looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.”

5. She Dances

Roberts also told New Idea that she likes to dance to stay fit. According to Better Health, dance has a lot of benefits. “Dancing can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It has a wide range of physical and mental benefits including: improved condition of your heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, increased aerobic fitness, improved muscle tone and strength, weight management.”
