Lost star Michelle Rodriguez is channeling big White Lotus vibes on vacation in Italy. Rodriguez, who played Ana Lucia Cortez on the ABC show, shared a reel of herself soaking up the sun on her trip, including a snap of herself wearing a bikini and leaning over the side of a boat. “White Lotus Lunch, lol I’m such a Geek lol, I can’t contain how much I just adore Italia 💚🤍❤️🌬,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Rodriguez’s approach to health and beauty looks like.

1. No Sugar

Rodriguez avoids sugar and tries to live a balanced lifestyle when it comes to health and wellness. "Beauty starts inside and if you have a horrible diet or you have horrible sleeping habits or you're a smoker or you drink a lot, then you need to balance that out with spa life and other things like that,” she says. “I go for lots of water, lots of vegetables. I try to keep it clean as much as possible. [Sugar is] a killer, man. But it's nasty, it's disgusting. It just sits in your body and accumulates all these nasty yeasts and things.”

2. Low-Key Beauty

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,26,,2023:,Michelle,Rodriguez,At,TheShutterstock

Rodriguez keeps it simple when it comes to her beauty routine. "I cover my blemishes when I go out on the town with some tea tree oil to disinfect them, and then I'll put on an oil-free cover up under my eyes if I didn't sleep,” she says. “After that I will apply a little lip stain on the cheeks (if I've neglected my weekly vitamin intake) for a fresh complexion. I'll put a little mascara, but that sums it up. I'm not much of a beauty queen but I do believe the advice worth giving is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Skin and body issues are usually a representation of bodily imbalances."

3. Not Into the Hollywood Lifestyle

Rodriguez is not interested in the glamorous trappings of the entertainment industry. “I enjoy vanity like the best of them. But I can’t stick to any of that lifestyle for too long because, when its true colors come out, it’s empty and cold and soulless,” she says. “So I have to travel and go find some real people. After Cannes every year, I end up going to some foreign country I’ve never been to before and introducing myself to a new religion—I’ll go to Bali and research Hinduism, or I’ll go to Thailand and get another tattoo from [Thai tattoo artist] Ajarn Noo [Kanpai].”

4. Action Movie Roles

Rodriguez loves playing action movie characters. “Like I’ve always felt like a lot of the work that I’ve done has been kind of a hyper masculinized version of femininity,” she says. “And it’s because action movies were the only place where I could go to be free from being the girlfriend or the girl who’s crying over some guy and the guy’s everything. The only way I could get away from that was making action movies. And it’s taken me a while to figure out where the femininity is in that because, you know, to exert any kind of strength or freedom, it’s usually a physical fight or some sort of brute force. And I really don’t think that that is the true now that I’m older essence of strength, of femininity.”

5. Fast & Furious Pride

Rodriguez is thrilled at how the Fast & Furious franchise has grown, with more female roles. "We've grown so much in the last 18 years, and it's all of us, we're in it together," she says. "It's cool that they were open enough to change and to evolve with the times... I really think that 9 is doing some justice for all the girls. I'm really proud of each and every woman in F9."

The White Lotus cast is steaming up social media in their swimsuits. Meghann Fahy shared a photo of some of the actors and actresses from the show’s second season, lounging on the beaches of Italy in their bathing suits. “Sizzley Sicily,” she captioned the photo, which included Simona Tabasco, Aubrey Plaza, Leo Woodall, Adam DiMarco, Haley Lu Richardson, and Beatrice Granno. How do the cast members stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways the cast of The White Lotus 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. Meghann Fahy Hydrates

Meghann Fahy’s top tip? Hydration. “I down a massive Yeti water bottle, pre-coffee. Hydrating myself is key. I drink so much more water than I even care to drink because I think that it really really helps me get through those 14-, 15-, 16-hour days that we pull sometimes. It helps mentally and physically, and it’s great for my skin,” she told Women’s Health. “On days I can sleep till 7:00, I go to Orangetheory or run. I live in [Brooklyn], so I run by the water a lot,”

2. Simona Tabasco Loves Outdoor Exercise

True to her last name, Simona Tabasco likes to keep things spicy and even has a [chili-pepper tattoo on her forearm]. “Yes! I love it,” she told Vulture about being named after hot sauce. “I love that it’s in my name and part of me. But specifically, it reflects my personality — or at least half of it. There’s a side to me that’s quite quirky and spicy.” She also enjoys outdoor exercise. Two of her favorite forms of fitness? Swimming and hiking.

3. Haley Lu Richardson Dances

Fun fact: Haley Lu Richardson was a competitive dancer before she became famous, and it is still her go-to fitness form. “I danced for like eight or nine years. I was super focused and committed to that; all I did was go to school and then dance and get no sleep. That’s when I learned about self-motivation and committing to something, and also about how much I love entertaining and telling stories. And I think dance and acting have those things in common,” she told The Last Magazine.

4. Leo Woodall Hikes

Leo Woodall enjoys hiking. “Still sore from getting that Uber to the tippy top,” he joked about his Runyon Canyon hike in Los Angeles. Physical benefits of taking a hike include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

5. Aubrey Plaza Loves Yoga

2022 Gotham AwardsTaylor Hill/FilmMagic

Aubrey Plaza explained to The Cut that she believes wellness is “being conscious of what you’re putting into your body and on your body, and taking care of yourself.” She starts her day with water, followed by a smoothie, coffee, and ginger tea. As for her workouts, she loves yoga and basketball. “I’ve been playing since I was a kid,” she said.

6. Adam DiMarco Plays Basketball

Aubrey isn’t the only White Lotus star who shoots hoops. Adam DiMarco also stays in shape with the help of basketball.

7. Beatrice Granno Walks

Beatrice Granno loves to go for walks, a great way to stay in shape according to science. 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.

And he understands the body in motion. Peyton Manning has even trained with Shilstone to prepare for the Super Bowl. I got to work with him because Serena Williams was pregnant. It was a wonderful accident of timing. Yes, we lifted and pumped weight and cross-trained; there were Pilates, supplements, and a diet. I didn’t eat carbohydrates for a year and a half. But everything Shilstone did with me was in motion.”

2. Gwendoline Christie

75th Annual Golden Globe Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

While starring on Game of Thrones, Gwendoline Christie worked with trainer Dalton Wong. In 2019, Wong shared some of Christie’s workouts with Harper’s Bazaar. “Posture was really important with our training,” he said. “We focused on various types of postural training focusing on hips and bum, core, shoulders and back.

3. Gina Carano

Premiere Of Disney's "Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker" - ArrivalsRodin Eckenroth/WireImage

Gina Carano opened up about her workout routine in an interview. “If I’m training for a fight I wake up in the morning and do cardio to warm up, like running on the treadmill or jumping rope, then shadow box for about 15 minutes, then do about two hours of sparring and technique. I repeat the same thing again at night.”

4. Demi Moore

Fashion Trust US Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

5. Charlize Theron

Premiere Of Netflix's "The School For Good And Evil" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Charlize Theron made sure to get in shape for Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde and The Fast and the Furious franchise. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Theron opened up about her approach to diet and exercise. "I'm always calculating my activity. If I haven't been moving a lot, I can't eat a lot.

The 23rd Annual Critics' Choice Awards - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

In order to play the iconic hero Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot made sure to get in shape. She worked with trainer Magnus Lygdback to do so. Lygdback talked about Gadot’s process in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “We weren’t going for the most muscle mass possible. We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.” Lygdback said Gadot did, “Leg press, front dumbbell squats, skaters and skate jumps — that’s such a good one because it recruits fast-twitch muscle fibers and works all three of the glute muscles — pull-ups, lateral raises and a ton of core work.”

26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsLeon Bennett/Getty Images

Scarlett Johansson’s trainer, Eric Johnson, talked about the actress’ workout secrets to Women’s Health. “Our training approach is dynamic and truly in tune with her state of being,” he says. “Whether that’s for an upcoming stunt that she’ll need to perform or a gym specific quest such as a pistol squat, we’ve found more success chasing attainable goals that are performance-based over a number on a scale.”

8. Jennifer Garner

"The Adam Project" New York PremiereMichael Loccisano/WireImage

Jennifer Garner talked about her diet in a video with Harper’s Bazaar. “I always have an apple,” she said. “I prefer to have it cut up. Otherwise, if you have lipstick on, it’s a disaster. So I cut it up, and I put it back together like a puzzle, and I stick it in my bag and have it later.”

9. Angela Bassett

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Whether she’s starring as the queen in the Black Panther film series, or as a police officer on 9-1-1, Angela Bassett makes sure to stay fit. She shared some of her favorite workouts with BlackDoctors.org. “Recently, I got a couple of my girlfriends together and we walked the Rose Bowl. It’s maybe a three-mile thing. It’s about showing up and accountability. You have to say, ‘Everyone will meet at 8:15 a.m.’ I know when I have a real plan then I’m there. If my friends are waiting, that puts a pressure on me not to disappoint them.”

10. Brie Larson

9th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

20th Century Studio's "Avatar 2: The Way Of Water" U.S. Premiere - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

The Guardians of The Galaxy star talked about her approach to food on Facebook. "I am going to remove the word 'diet' from my life,” Saldana revealed. “I am going to remind myself that it is not about losing weight, it is about being healthy, feeling healthy, for the rest of my life. I am gonna try to focus on what weekends are really for-resting and making time for your loved ones ... And when chow time arrives? I will make amazing and healthy decisions. "

13. Emily Blunt

"A Quiet Place Part II" World PremiereMike Coppola/Getty Images

Kate Beckinsale talked about her diet and exercise secrets in an interview with Shape. "I love yoga,” the Underworld star said. “But hardcore workouts have really made a big difference in my life.

15. Margot Robbie

The Academys 13th Governors Awards - ArrivalsGilbert Flores/Getty Images

Margot Robbie’s film roles include Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and Babylon. She shared how she got in shape to play Tonya Harding in the 2018 biopic, I, Tonya, with Body + Soul. “Weights, mostly, and lots of sit-ups. It’s all the stuff you know you’re meant to do, but just can never be bothered to do, although ice-skating itself was a huge part of it.”

16. Ronda Rousey

Premiere Of STX Films' "Mile 22" - ArrivalsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

In 2016, Ronda Rousey talked about her diet in an interview with StyleCaster. “I follow the Dolce Diet, and for breakfast I start the day off at 7:30am with a Dolce chia bowl. That’s two tablespoons of chia, hemp, and oats, add agave nectar, cinnamon, a couple blueberries, and a tablespoon of almond butter. My diet is about maximizing my nutrient intake instead of minimizing calories, and that keeps my metabolism burning fast.”

17. Jessica Biel

Los Angeles Premiere FYC Event For Hulu's "Candy" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In 2017, Jessica Biel did an AMA on Reddit. In it, she was asked about her diet. “I try to eat really clean,” Biel answered. “Fruits and vegetables, fish, etc. “Don’t get me wrong, I like my cheat days and I go BIG.”

In 2016, Cameron Diaz talked about her diet to Bon Appetit. She says that she eats two meals in the morning, and they couldn’t be more different. “At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

19. Sigourney Weaver

20. Jennifer Lawrence

Sony Pictures' "No Hard Feelings" New York PremiereDia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Jennifer Lawrence talked about her diet and workout in an interview with Vogue. “I do work out more than normal because I have a certain way that I want to look, and a way that I want to fit into my clothes. I get photographed when I’m not asking for it, so there’s added pressure to look and feel your best. For me, it’s easier to put that extra effort into the gym instead of putting the extra effort into: ‘Oh no, I can’t eat that.’”

Jason Momoa played Dante Reyes in Fast X. His trainer, Damien Viera, shared his secrets with Men’s Journal. “Jason couldn’t do something like a ketogenic diet, because he needs readily charged energy from carbs to be explosive. And when I say carbs, I’m not talking about breads and pastas—those are long gone. I’m talking about cruciferous vegetables and fruits. You can’t train the way we do with fat for fuel; you need the carbs for explosive movements.”

Daniela Melchior plays Isabel Neves in Fast X.

Alan Ritchson played Aimes in Fast X. He opened up about his approach to diet and exercise to Men’s Health. He says that since he works out a lot, he can indulge from time to time. “If your lifestyle is one of health and fitness, every day can become a cheat day,” Ritchson said. “You don't have to go on these insane calorie deficit sprees and punish yourself in the gym. I work out 30 to 45 minutes a day. I get it in, get a little pump [and then] I might have a slice of pizza for lunch because I feel like it and I earned it.”

13. John Cena

John Cena plays Jakob Toretto. He talked about his fitness routine in an interview with GQ. “My training has switched a lot because I’m old,” Cena says. “I started lifting weights in a dedicated fashion when I was 12 years old. If you do the math, I’m coming up on 35 years of that. That’s a long time. The biggest shift when I was in the WWE is, every day, I tried to be the strongest version I can be that day. Now, I’m trying to be able to lift weights when I’m 80, so I need to take a little bit more care of myself for the long term. I have a 40,000-foot perspective. It’s a lot more work on flexibility and a lot more warming up.”

I try to eat a lot of animal fats and vegetables together.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
