Amber Pike is best known for being a contestant on Love Is Blind. She met her husband, Matt Barnett on the show. The couple hit the gym together five weeks ago, and shared a video on Instagram. Pike captioned the post, “I say hubs legs gave out at the end of leg day, hub says he was distracted by the view and tripped over himself… idk about yall but @barnettisblind brings the kind of gym partner motivation I live for.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amber Pike stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works Out With Others

As you can see in her recent Instagram post, Pike likes working out with others. The CDC states that this has a lot of health benefits. “When you and your buddy encourage each other, you’ll work harder (and get better results!). And there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. It’s easier to try new things with a buddy. You may just find an activity you love, one that feels more like fun and less like a workout.”

2. She Snowboards

Amber.Pike.2Amber Pike/Instagram

As you can see in this Instagram post, Pike likes to snowboard to stay in shape. She captioned the video, “The journey’s been pretty ugly and definitely painful, but I love learning a new skill. Hubby took me snowboarding my first time for Valentine’s day 2020 and I was hooked… sore af but hooked. I honestly spend all year just waiting for the next time we can go snowboarding. What’s your favorite hobby or something you wait all year for?”

3. She Focuses On Herself

Amber.Pike.3Amber Pike/Instagram

Pike is all about focusing on herself when it comes to fitness. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Monday Motivation: There’s never any traffic when you’re staying in your own lane. Don’t worry about other people, just stay focused on what keeps you happy and healthy. What have comparisons really ever done for you? Has following society’s standards for success really ever made you happy?”

4. She Strength Trains

In the previous Instagram post, Pike is seen using a barbell. Strength training has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.”

5. She Does Squats

In the previous Instagram post, Pike is seen doing squats. These are a great exercise to do. Piedmont reports, “Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you’re working your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back. A squat has more overall benefits than, say, a bicep curl, which strengthens an isolated area.”

Amanda Tress is a very successful fitness trainer. She recently announced her new 2025 program on Instagram. Tress captioned the post, “Did someone say ADVANCED workouts for 2025?! For those of you who are straight up ATHLETES because you have been crushing the FWTFL for years… we will have an ADVANCED workout track for you starting January 6! It’s about to get 👑🔥🚀”

She Does Burpees

Tress shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. As a part of her 12 Days of Fitmas series, she shared a different workout each day on her page. In this video, Tress is seen doing burpees. The Cleveland Clinic states that burpees have a lot of benefits. “Burpees are brutally efficient as a workout tool, meshing cardio and strength training into an extremely high-intensity package. In seven simple movements, the exercise works your body from top to bottom. It’s a continuous-movement activity that uses the full musculature of your body, says exercise physiologist Griffin Nykor, RKin, CPT.”

She Does Squats

Another exercise Tress did in her 12 Days of Fitmas series is squats. According to Piedmont, squats have a lot of benefits. “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. A squat has more overall benefits than, say, a bicep curl, which strengthens an isolated area.”

She Doesn't't Weigh Herself

In the caption of this Instagram post, Tress revealed that she doesn’t weigh herself or own a scale. “Why I don’t own a scale. I threw away my scale over a decade ago and I don’t often talk about why. I even banned ‘weigh ins’ through the FASTer Way when I first launched it because I feel so strongly that daily weigh-ins are not a good representation of progress and, in fact, can be a de-motivator. Over time, I’ve learned that true wellness isn’t found in numbers on a scale. Instead, I track my health and fitness through things that actually matter to me: 💪🏻Getting stronger in my lifts and seeing muscle definition develop 👕 How my clothes fit and feel ⚡ My daily energy levels 😴 Quality of sleep 🧘♀️ How my body feels - no bloating, moving well. Daily weigh-ins used to be demotivating and didn’t reflect the real progress I was making in strength and overall health. Plus the scale can’t measure confidence, strength, or how great it feels to crush a workout.”

She Does Deadlifts

Tress likes to do deadlifts to keep herself in shape. She is seen doing them in this workout video on Instagram. Tress captioned it, “I tweaked my back doing deadlifts 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 We shall see how this pans out trying to lug 5 kids around this weekend. 😝 I worked around it and still got in a great workout. Comment YES below if you crushed leg day!!!”

She Does Lunges

Tress shared some more of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video with a friend. One exercise she is seen doing in it is lunges. Tress captioned the post, “Comment YES below if you crushed leg day!! Oh my word. My legs are smoked. 🙌🏻👑🎄PS Emma is the best workout buddy and she’s getting so strong.”

Amber Turner, star of The Only Way is Essex, is at it again, posing in a swimsuit. “Teeny weeny green bikini 👙💚 @whitefoxswim Only a few weeks then we are off again✈️ Thank you to the lovely Anna @thebeautylounge_essex for my laser hair removal! The best thing EVER! ☺️ #bikini #summer #marrakech #holiday #bikinilife,” she captioned it. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amber Turner 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 Does Squats

One of Amber’s workouts was a 45 minute circuit with 1 minute squat jumps and 30 seconds of rest. Here’s a sample squat: “Stand with the feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart and hold the medicine ball in both hands in front of the chest with the elbows bent. Sit back with the hips and squat down so the hips are below the knees, keeping the ball in front of the chest. Press the feet into the ground to stand up,” says ACE Fitness.

2. She Does an Overhead Press

Amber did an overhead press holding a huge water jug. Try this exercise: Body Weight Squat into shoulder press: 12 reps. For Men Use 10-20lb db’s. For Women Use 5-8lb db’s. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes turned out slightly, and hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height, elbows bent, palms facing you. Sit back with your hips and lower your body as far as you can without rounding your lower back. Push your knees out as you descend and keep your chest up. Once you are in a stable squatting position, press the dumbbells overhead until your arms are straight, then return them to shoulder height. Now, pushing off your heels, straighten your legs as you return to the starting position.

3. She Does Burpees

Doing burpees: “You’re going to feel huge peaks in heart rate — and it’s going to happen quickly, given the intensity of the exercise,” says exercise physiologist Griffin Nykor, RKin, CPT to the Cleveland Clinic. “You’re asking your body to use a lot of energy and a lot of oxygen.” “It’s not easy,” says Nykor. “But it is worth it.”

4. She Does Push Ups

London Celebrity Sightings -  October 24, 2019Ricky Vigil M/GC Images

Dr. Michael Joyner says “pushups build muscle strength and can be an easy exercise that you can do at an incline against a table, the kitchen counter or on your knees. But the most important part of staying healthy is staying active,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. "Some recent studies have shown that when people go from an inactive or unfit category to a fit category in middle age as a result of exercise training, their health status improves," says Dr. Joyner.

5. She Uses Battle Ropes

When using battle ropes: “Most of the time, the best grip involves inserting your hand(s) through the loop handles and gripping around the orange covering. This provides a more rope-like feel to the grip and develops more grip strength. It’s also a more comfortable grip, as under tension the nylon can be uncomfortable on the skin of the hands,” says ACE Fitness.

Roxanne Perez is a wrestler for the WWE. She makes sure to stay fit for her fights in the ring. Perez shared a video on Instagram of herself doing pull-ups in the gym. She wore a two-piece set of black workout gear in it. Perez captioned the post, “Just a couples workout before #NXTOrlando.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Roxanne Perez stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s An Advocate

Cardboard,Silhouette,Of,Human,Head,Decorated,With,Flowers,And,ButterflyShutterstock

Perez is known for opening up about her mental health. She tells Metro that she wants to help others who are struggling with the same thing. “It’s so cool. I’ve always wanted to bring mental health into wrestling somehow and never thought it was possible. It’s really cool to be able to change people’s lives. I feel like that’s the most important thing that I’ve always wanted to do. If I can be that voice that helps someone else know that they’re not alone, then that means the world to me.”

2. She Trained With Her Boyfriend

In an interview with Fightful, Perez revealed how she trained for the WWE. "I definitely did my homework, especially training at Booker T’s school. He prepared me. My boyfriend, Gino Medina, he’s awesome and he prepared me for that tryout. I was ready. He had me doing some crazy cardio. He’s done a tryout before, so he’s like, ‘Yeah, this is what they do,’ and it was way less than what he had me do. But I was over prepared. So that was good."

3. She Worked Hard

Perez tells Fightful that she worked hard to get to where she is. “As a kid, my dream was going to WWE and I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m gonna get there, but I’m gonna do it.’ Then I find out about the indies and I found out how you can just work your way up throughout the indies and one day maybe they’ll call me. That’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a big enough name for myself to where I don’t have to beg. They will contact me and be like, ‘Hey, we want you because your work spoke for yourself.’ When I got there, it was crazy to do my tryout and people were like, ‘Yeah, we know you.’ I would never have expected to come into a WWE tryout and people be like, ‘Yeah, you’re good.’"

4. Subhead Goes Right Here

5. She Does Pull-Ups

As you can see, Perez does pull-ups to stay in shape. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

Amber Turner, TOWIE star and TV personality, is enjoying a day at the spa, at The Londoner Hotel. She posted a new photo and video on Instagram. In the photo, Turner posed in a black and white one piece swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Spa day with my bestie.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amber Turner 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 Combines Breakfast and Lunch

Turner is a fan of brunch, and not just as a special occasion. She revealed on her Instagram stories that she likes to make meals that combine aspects from both. Turner also shared a go-to recipe of hers. “I used 180g of chicken and a large pepper. My plate was a big dinner plate which makes it look small. But I can assure you it's not! When I said breakfast and lunch all in 1, I never meant to eat less/ skip a meal! I meant it literally.”

2. She Works Out At Home

Turner lost a lot of weight last year, and revealed on her Instagram stories that she did so by working out at home. She wrote, "I’ve felt so self conscious and really didn’t want to post my before pics because I was very unhappy with my body, but wanted to show you guys the power of my plan! It’s bloody amazing, I did it in my own home, no gym, no PT - Just a set of 4KG adjustable dumbbells! I’ve lost 1 stone 5 pounds!"

3. She Works Out Her Core

Turner likes to share videos of her workouts on her Instagram stories. She revealed that she likes to do a lot of ab and core exercises. In this set of videos, Turner is seen doing two sets of Russian twists, one with a weight and one without, reverse crunches, and oblique curls.

4. She Strength Trains

Turner is also a fan of doing weight and strength training exercises. In the same set of videos from her Instagram stories, Turner is seen using different weights and equipment to workout. She is seen pushing a cart, using battle ropes, doing deadlifts with a barbell, and doing arm swings with hand weights.

5. She Loves Cardio

When Turner goes to the gym, she makes sure to use all the machines there. Turner is a big fan of doing cardio exercises to help her stay in shape. In her set of Instagram stories, Turner is seen using the stair climber, the elliptical, and the treadmill. "No matter how you choose to move, being active helps increase circulation, which leads to clearer, healthier skin. Other health benefits can go much deeper than just your skin, too," says the Mayo Clinic. "When you work your muscles, it increases oxygen supply, therefore allowing muscles to work harder. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier."

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” 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.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
