Gymnast Livvy Dunne is setting social media on fire in her red hot Vuori outfit

Livvy Dunne is red hot in Vuori. In a new social media post, the gymnast flaunts her fantastic figure in a bright red two-piece exercise set from the athleisure brand. “On your wishlist,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “You breaking the Internet and social media again Livvy?” one of her followers commented. “Absolutely gorgeous 🔥” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics has been Dunne’s main form of fitness since she was 3. “I liked how I was in control of my own destiny,” she told Flaunt “I loved the thrill of learning new skills and improving myself every single practice. I fell in love with trying to be the best.” Pinnacle Gymnastics explains that the sport’s benefits include flexibility, balance, and muscular strength. “These skills improve bone health and delay the development of high blood pressure,” they say.

She Rides Horses

Olivia loves horseback riding. “The horse’s name was Friday,” she captioned a series of snaps of herself riding a horse on the beach. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is excellent for your health. It boosts cardiovascular health, builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

She Surfs

Olivia enjoys surfing. “Totally tubular,” she captioned a series of snaps from the ocean. According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits, including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.

She Plays Tennis

Olivia plays tennis. “Serving looks,” she captioned a post of herself with a racquet. According to ACE Fitness, it blends cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility, and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

She Has "Tough Skin"

“You have to have tough skin to do gymnastics or any artistic sport,” Livvy told Flaunt. “I actually looked at a statistic, and it said anorexia and body image issues are the highest in artistic sports. That is terrible, but I understand it. Growing up in elite gymnastics, it was very hard with body image. Being a young girl going through puberty, it’s hard to be in a leotard. The whole sport of gymnastics is having people judge you, and I just think that’s something not a lot of people talk about. Yes, I’m confident in myself, but it’s something I still struggle with to this day. I want girls to know that it’s normal. That’s normal.”

Livvy Dunne is a rising star in the gymnastics world. She rose to fame as a member of the LSU team. Dunne has a large following on social media. She recently shared a video of herself practicing on her Instagram stories. In it, Dunne did an aerial on the balance beam. She captioned the post, “Summer fun.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Livvy Dunne stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Dunne stays fit. Places Leisure states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Gymnastics can help maintain a healthy body, which is key to preventing many health conditions such as asthma, cancer, obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Being involved in gymnastics helps encourage a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and eating a well-balanced diet. Participation in weight-bearing activities, including gymnastics poses, can build strong, healthy bones, helping to reduce the risks of developing osteoporosis later on in life.”

2. She’s Finding Balance

Livvy Dunne.1Livvy Dunne/Instagram

Dunne told People that she is working on finding a balance in her life. “The past few years, juggling NIL or ever since my sophomore year, since the summer of 2021, I've definitely had a hard time finding balance. That's really important because if you don't have balance, that can affect your mental health. I finally feel like I got a grasp on it this year. It's just compartmentalizing things mentally is very important in my everyday routine."

3. She Rides Horses

Dunne likes to horseback ride to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself and a friend riding on the beach in Los Cabos. Dunne captioned the post, “The horse’s name was Friday.” Cornerstone Ranch states that riding has a lot of benefits. “As the horse moves, the rider is constantly thrown off balance, requiring that the rider’s muscles contract and relax in an attempt to rebalance. This exercise reaches deep muscles not accessible in conventional physical therapy. The three-dimensional rhythmical movement of the horse is similar to the motion of walking, teaching rhythmical patterns to the muscles of the legs and trunk. By placing the rider in different positions on the horse (therapeutic vaulting), we can work different sets of muscles. Stopping and starting the horse, changing speed and changing direction increase the benefits riding offers.”

4. She Spends Time Outside

Dunne shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself spending time outside. UC Davis states that this can help with physical wellness. “Getting out into nature can lead us to want to walk, bike, hike, or kayak more often. People typically engage in regular physical activity when they're in nature. So, stepping outside can help you keep a healthy weight or even lose weight by increasing activity levels. Studies have also shown that being in nature has a positive effect on our bodies by reducing cortisol levels, muscle tension, and demands on our cardiovascular systems (lowers heart rate and blood pressure). Being out in nature often may lead to lower rates of heart disease. The great outdoors can also help you increase your vitamin D level, which is important for your bones, blood cells, and immune system.”

5. She Understands The Importance Of Security

As Dunne’s star rose, so did her need for privacy and protection. After an incident, she made sure to have security with her at meets. “Actually, we've got it settled down a bit," Dunne said to People. "We haven't competed since last season, so we'll see what this season holds. But after the incident in Utah that happened last year, we now have a security guard that travels with the LSU gymnastics team."

Olivia Dunne is a gymnast at Louisiana State University, famous for her prodigious talent. She came into the public eye in the past few years. She recently posted a photo from one of her gymnastic meets on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing a kick while lying down. She captioned the post, “Just kicking back relaxing.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Olivia Dunne stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s A Gymnast

Dunne is a gymnast, so naturally that is one of the ways she stays in shape. According to Beverly Hills Gymnastics, the sport has a lot of health benefits. “Gymnastics increases strength, balance, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. The utilization of so many muscles results in gymnasts being of the strongest of all athletes, in terms of total body strength. Gymnastics encourages athletes to move and flex their bodies in new ways, focusing on all muscle areas. Balance is necessary for almost every aspect of gymnastics, promoting excellent core strength.”

2. She Swims

Another thing Dunne likes to do to stay in shape is swim. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. According to The Mayo Clinic, swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

3. She’s Found Balance

Dunne opened up about her rapid rise to fame in an interview with People. She says that she struggled to find balance, at first, but has learned to find it. “The past few years, juggling NIL or ever since my sophomore year, since the summer of 2021, I’ve definitely had a hard time finding balance. That’s really important because if you don’t have balance, that can affect your mental health. I finally feel like I got a grasp on it this year. It’s just compartmentalizing things mentally is very important in my everyday routine.”

4. She Speaks Out

Microphone,Over,The,Abstract,Blurred,Photo,Of,Conference,Hall,OrShutterstock

Dunne talked about her rise to fame in an interview with Today. She says that she is a little uncomfortable with people watching her. Dunne spoke out against this in her interview. “There are some people occasionally that do reach out, and it is a bit concerning. As a woman, you're not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you. That's not a woman's responsibility.”

5. She Gets Her Vitamin D From the Sun

Vitamin D is crucial for overall health, supporting bone health, immune system function, and muscle recovery. For athletes like Dunne, the benefits are even more pronounced, aiding in muscle strength and reducing inflammation. Sunlight is a primary source of vitamin D, and spending time outdoors in the sun can significantly enhance an individual's vitamin D levels. This not only contributes to physical well-being but also improves mood and mental health, thanks to the natural light's effect on serotonin levels.

Olivia Dunne is known for her deep love of the sunshine, the beach, and swimming—but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t appreciate a nice ski trip. Dunne, 21, shared highlights from a trip to Park City, Utah, at the beginning of the year, posing in black workout gear against a gorgeous snowy mountainous background. “Ski-yee!” she captioned the fun post. Dunne just scored a career-high 9.9 after being subbed on last minute for LSU—here’s how the star college athlete stays focused and strong.


1. Nature Therapy

Dunne is happiest when she’s outside in the sunshine, preferably at the beach. “Everyone gets overwhelmed, so being able to have something that brings you to that moment of happiness and that moment of peace and bliss is essential,” she told Sports Illustrated. “I always come back to the simple things: connecting with nature and being around the people I love. Perfection isn’t real. But finding moments of bliss can be, I just have to look in the right places.”

2. School and Training

Dunne starts her day with schoolwork (she doesn’t attend classes in person anymore). “I come home, eat lunch and go right to the gym, where I train for hours,” she told the New York Post. “I have conditioning before or after practice, which takes place at football operations. Then, I go straight to the dining hall to eat dinner. After that, I come home [to my dorm] and do my work stuff at night.”

3. Social Media Success

Dunne works hard to make her social media account successful (with 5.1 Instagram followers she’s doing something right!). “Making content is definitely time consuming. There’s 100s of takes and then you choose that perfect one for Instagram and TikTok,” she told the New York Post. “I probably take an hour or two to create content after practice. But some days I’m so busy, I can’t get to do it all… TikTok, I feel is where you can express yourself more, and that’s something I’m still getting used to and I’m still trying to open up more. That’s something I’ve been working on more — opening up in a more personal way.”

4. Sports Illustrated Photoshoot

Dunne will be appearing in the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. “SI Swim means to me being comfortable in your own skin and being undeniably you, which is something I still work on to this day,” she told the magazine. “Body image is something that a lot of girls struggle with, especially young girls. In the sport of gymnastics, [body image is] a huge thing, and it’s something that I’m still working on to this day, being confident. But SI’s really helped me to see that it’s O.K. to not be perfect and to just be comfortable in your own skin.”

5. Staying Focused

Dunne is used to dealing with the criticism that comes from being in the public eye—but she doesn’t let it deter her from following her dreams. “To see a woman winning? People sometimes have a lot to say,” she told ELLE. “If you’re a woman at the forefront of something, when you’ve got eyes on you, people are going to downplay your success and say that you’re not doing it right, that you don’t deserve all the opportunities… the best way to get that to stop is to keep being successful at what you’re doing, because your success, and love for what you do, will outshine any of that.”

Louise Redknapp is letting fans see what her live performance dance rehearsals look like. Redknapp, 49, shared a video of herself wearing black pants and a white shirt, going through a routine with her team. “A little look behind the scenes at Mighty Hoopla rehearsals 🤍 been having so much fun putting this show together for you! See you at 6.40pm this Sunday xxx,” she captioned the post. “How does she still look soooo amazing 😍🔥,” a fan commented. Here’s how the British singer stays fit, happy, and full of energy.


1. She Loves Pilates

Redknapp enjoys Pilates workouts on the reformer machine. "I love Pilates on the tower or on the reformer just because it's quick and it feels like a proper workout,” she told HELLO!. “One of my best friends is a pilates instructor so get through the whole hour. I think that's why I love it so much because I just lie there, my legs in straps doing an exercise and we're chatting away so it's lovely, just a nice thing to go and do."

2. Peloton and Love Island

Edina,,Mn/usa,-,January,1,,2020:,Peleton,Retail,Exercise,StoreShutterstock

Redknapp likes to ride her stationary bike while watching TV. “I've got a Peloton at home,” she told HELLO!. “I watch Love Island and go for a bike ride in the lounge, [people] must be looking [at me] like 'what was she doing?' If I've got a night in, I get on the Peloton, bike ride, do a few situps, then I'm done.”

3. Natural Beauty

Redknapp credits her preference for a natural look for her glowing skin. “I think it has something to do with the make-up I wear and the products I put on my skin,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I have always used quite a dewy base on my face which perhaps gives it a slight shine. I prefer a natural look to a full-on face of glam make-up.”

4. Grounded Life

Redknapp says she lives a very grounded life. “I am very aware I have had an amazing life and a great career, which has not come easy and has required a lot of hard work,” she told Women’s Fitness. “As long as I surround myself with the right people, I am OK. My two sons are my absolute world. The media speculate why I am not out there in the papers being photographed dating or with a new man on my arm, but I have not chosen to take that path. My priority is and always will be to be the best mum I can to my kids, who are my pride and joy.”

5. Not a Gym Bunny

Redknapp is not always motivated to work out. “If someone said to me, 'do you want to meet for a drink and a bit of dinner on Tuesday night or go to the gym?' I mean, I'm always going to meet my mate for dinner,” she told HELLO!. “The gym is not at the front of my priorities. I'm not a big gym bunny… I'd love to do yoga but after about three minutes I start thinking about all the other things I should be doing rather than sitting in this position and thinking I haven't got time for this today.”

Olivia Dunne is one of the most well-known female gymnasts right now. She is pretty much an overnight success, who rose to fame on social media. Dunne is currently a student at Louisiana State University. And she’s currently enjoying a right of passage for every college student: Spring Break. However, Dunne is staying on campus, and enjoying Louisiana’s sunshine, as you can see from a recent post on her Instagram. She captioned it, “Makeshift Spring Break.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Olivia Dunne stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She’s A Gymnast

Being a gymnast is the main way Dunne keeps herself in shape. Gymnastics has a lot of benefits. Gymnasticsvictoria.org reports that the sport benefits flexibility. “A large amount of time is spent on improving flexibility in gymnastics training. For competitive gymnasts this means improving leaps and jumps. For recreational and adult gymnasts this is about improving the flexibility of muscle groups in order to prevent injury. The more flexible a person’s muscles are, the less likely they are to strain or tear a muscle completing everyday tasks.”

2. She Wants To Inspire Young Women

Dunne grew her following quickly. And she wants to use her platform for good. In 2021, she told The New York Post that she wants to inspire girls like her. “I want to be a role model to young girls and I think it’s really awesome that I am a female in this,” Dunne said. “I feel like most people expected [male] football and basketball players to get the biggest endorsement deals.”

3. She Wants To Help Others Pursue Their Dreams

Motivational,Quote,envision,What,You,Want,And,Persue,That,Dream.Shutterstock

In addition to inspiring young women, Dunne wants to encourage others to follow their dreams. Specifically, she wants to help people figure out how to grow their businesses from their passions. “I want to show you can do whatever you love,” she told People “Whether it’s gymnastics or music or painting — and capitalize on it and create your own business…There was no roadmap of how to do school, your athletics and social media all at the same time. There’s really no one that’s ever done it. “And I figured I could change that. I could pave the way and be a good example to young girls that look up to me.”

4. She Keeps Herself Safe

Dunne has attracted a large following. Unfortunately, having fans can be unsafe. Dunne once walked out to a lot of young men waiting outside her meet. She tells Today that she is working on keeping herself safe, and asking for more protection. “As a woman, you are not responsible for how a man looks at you and objectifies you. That’s not a woman’s responsibility.” Dunne says that her college has added some protective measures. “They gave us some new rules for us athletes just to keep us safe, to not go into the stands after meets, and we have a new security person that travels with us.”

5. She’s Dedicated

Being a gymnast takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice. Luckily, Dunne is determined to accomplish her dreams. She opened up about how she got to where she is now on the Today Show. “I pretty much sacrificed my summers,” Dunne admits. “Those pool days, those beach days with your friends. I was in the gym training.”

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. From her plant-based diet to her dedication to animal welfare, Romani’s habits reflect a balanced approach to wellness that keeps her looking and feeling her best. Here are the five key ways Claudia Romani stays in shape while living life to the fullest.

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. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

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 … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
