Maddie Ziegler first became known for being a cast member on the Lifetime series Dance Moms. She then appeared in several music videos for Sia, notably “Chandelier.” Ziegler has transitioned to acting, appearing in the 2022 version of West Side Story, Bloody Hell, and Fitting In. In a recent Instagram post, Ziegler posed in black clothing. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Maddie Ziegler stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s True To Herself

Ziegler opened up about her career in an interview with Teen Vogue. She says that she makes sure to stay true to herself as she navigates her career. “I'm always actively trying to be the best version of myself for everyone,” she says. “But sometimes you have hard days and you just can't. I have to remind myself, among the chaos, to make sure that I don't lose myself, especially with being so young. I have to just remain who I am at my core.”

2. She’s No Longer A Perfectionist

Ziegler tells Teen Vogue that she is working on no longer being a perfectionist. “Being a dancer, you’re taught to be disciplined and listen to whatever your teacher is saying. You don't talk back to them, and in a way, you feel like you don't have a voice — you can't have an opinion. I'm ready to leave behind the perfectionist. I'm ready to leave behind the people-pleaser. I will carry those traits with me forever because that's who I am, but I'm really proud of myself for setting boundaries in the last year.”

3. She Doesn’t Stress Out

In her Teen Vogue interview, Ziegler shared how she manages her stress. “If I were tired or stressed [on set], I’d say, ‘No worries, no worries,’ and our makeup artist would say, ‘Worries, worries,’” she recalls with a laugh. “When you’re in those moments, sometimes you have to make light of it. I think I sarcastically approach stress with, ‘Oh, I’m not worried at all,’ and it actually does help me through it.”

4. She’s Proud Of Herself

Ziegler tells Teen Vogue that she is very proud of herself, and that she realized this after filming Fitting In. “Lindy will live with me through my life and through the other roles that I take on,” she says. “I am a very harsh critic toward myself, and it's hard to be proud, but the first time I watched [Fitting In], I was like, Wow! I did things that I didn't know I was capable of, and I'm proud, which is rare. I don't usually say that.”

5. She Uses Sunscreen

Ziegler shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Teen Vogue. She says that she makes sure to use sunscreen. “You have to keep your skin protected and especially starting young so that you don’t face a lot of problems like sunspots in the future. I use the clear EltaMD sunscreen and it’s great.” John Hopkins Medicine states, “Wearing sunscreen is one of the best — and easiest — ways to protect your skin’s appearance and health at any age. Used regularly, sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging.”

Morgan Rose Moroney, a fitness trainer and gymnastics enthusiast, inspires her followers with creative workouts and candid advice on fitness and postpartum recovery. Recently, she shared a video on Instagram of herself performing a handstand on two platforms, captioning the post, “It’s been a good 7 months since I’ve done this!!! A bit stiff, definitely need to iron out the kinks but she’s moving 😜.” From Pilates to core circuits, Moroney proves that consistency and adaptation are key to a healthy lifestyle.

She Does Core Workouts

Moroney shared some of her favorite core exercises in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “I don’t think you understand how excited I was for this. I missed my @cultureofmotion core circuits ✨Taken from the essentials program!!! Ofc I’ve still been doing core focused work but only specific exercises that I wouldn’t do outside of pregnant and postpartum recovery, so it felt nice to get back to my usual exercises ☺️”

She Does Pilates

Moroney likes to do Pilates workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using a reformer. Moroney captioned the post, “Sometimes 10 mins is all you got 🫶🏼💞So grateful for this stunning reformer from @yourreformer making postpartum movement at home as easy as can be. A life saver for my body and mind at the moment 🙏🏼”

She Runs On The Treadmill

Mornoney likes to run on the treadmill in order to do some cardio. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing so. Moroney captioned the post. “Let me tell you this, being postpartum and running again is an EXPERIENCE. You’ve got more things jiggling than ever 😂To my big booby girlies, how do you ever do this!!!”

She Uses Weights

Moroney likes to use weights to workout. She shared this video of herself doing hip thrusts with a barbell on Instagram. She captioned it, “Disassociating or just dying… or both 😂🥵Let me get real for a second ⬇️Getting back into lifting has been a bit of a slap in the face, I have never actually had a set back this big before in regards to my capabilities as an athlete. I’ve never seriously injured myself, or had any reason to slow down and because of this I have noticed now that I’ve always been working at doing more or remaining in a maintenance phase of strength, general fitness or skill work. PP is a big deal, there is no room for ego’s or silly expectations, you must just look after yourself and put in the work and be okay being a beginner again 🙏🏼”

She Does Hip Thrusts

In the previous Instagram video, Moroney is seen doing hip thrusts. According to Gymless, hip thrusts are very beneficial. “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

She Doesn't Quit On Herself

Corey is a big believer in showing up for herself when it comes to fitness. She captioned the Instagram post, “Every time you quit on yourself, you’re reinforcing the belief that *you’re not worth the effort.* And that belief is what keeps you stuck. The key to real progress isn’t some magic motivation. It’s building trust with yourself by keeping the small promises you make every day. Show up, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.”

She Runs On The Treadmill

In her Instagram video, Corey is seen on the treadmill. According to Healthy Talbot, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Jogging or running on a treadmill helps to lose weight as well as burn fat quickly and effectively. Yet it’s easier on your knees and joints than outdoor running. This is the most popular advantage of working out on a treadmill workouts. Besides, these workouts burn calories at a faster rate than other aerobic exercises. To burn calories even faster, you just need to run longer and faster on the machine.”

She Takes Breaks

While Corey is consistent with her fitness, she also makes sure to take breaks to recover. Corye talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “Did you know...Running less *can* actually make you a better runner‼️Back when I first started, I thought more miles were the only way to get better. But after years of overtraining, burnout, and injuries, I’ve learned that strength training and smarter running made all the difference: 💪 Faster recovery 🚀 My endurance and speed improved 🛡️ Stay injury-free 🏅This EXACT approach helped me qualify for the Boston Marathon Now, I’m training for my 15th marathon—(my first in 8 years)—and I’ve never felt stronger. If you’re just starting your running journey (or trying to fall back in love with it), you don’t have to do it the hard way like I did.”

She Cooks Healthy Meals

Corey makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She makes a lot of her own meals. Corey shared this video on Instagram of herself making a burrito. She captioned it, “THE BEST BREAKFAST BURRITOS 🌮As a Dietitian, I fully believe healthy eating doesn't have to be boring ✋ I love burritos as they are SO easily customizable for your own preferences and macronutrient needs. INGREDIENTS: (per 1 Burrito): 1 Mission Sun Dried Tomato Wrap (you can use whole wheat or low carb). 3 serv Egg Beaters (or you can sub whole eggs 🍳). 1/2 Chicken Sausage Link. 1/4 cup roma tomato, diced. 1/4 green bell pepper, diced. 1/8 red onion, diced. 14 grams servings lite Mexican cheese. 4 Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs (optional but adds a nice texture). Creamy Sirracha sauce (optional). DIRECTIONS: •Add sweet potato puffs to air fryer (9 mins, 400 F) •chop tomato, peppers, onion, and sausage •cook veggies and sausage in a pan •add eggs to pan and cook until done •wrap everything in your burrito + cheese, and the sweet potato puffs then add to the air fryer to crisp for 3 mins! Then it's ready to eat and enjoy. I like to dip mine in some creamy sriracha.”

She Does Leg Workouts

Corey doesn’t skip leg day. In this Instagram video, she is seen doing workouts like lunges and abductors. Corey captioned the post, “Who’s ready to build their booty shelf? 🍑✨ Weak glutes? 🚨 They’re not just a missed gym goal—they can lead to: 👉 Poor posture 🪑 👉 Back pain 😖 👉 Knee strain 🦵 👉 Hip instability 😬 But when you focus on building strong glutes, the benefits are huge! As a runner, strong glutes mean: 🏃♀️ Better stride power (hello, faster splits!) ⛰️ Climbing hills with ease (no more burning quads) 🛡️ Reduced risk of injuries like IT band syndrome and shin splints 🔄 Better running efficiency for endurance. For the average gym-goer? Strong glutes = improved balance, stronger lifts, and greater mobility. Whether you’re squatting, lunging, or just living life, your glutes are the MVP of lower-body strength and stability. I’m on my journey to stronger cheeks this year so if you’re ready to grow buns of steel and take your workouts to the next level, make sure to follow & let’s build that booty shelf together 🤝”

Alissa Violet is "Amazing"

Alissa Violet is a successful influencer and YouTuber. She also has a large following on Instagram. In September, she shared a carousel post of her recent life updates on her account. In the post, Violet is seen spending time with her dogs, hiking, and going to a fitness class. She captioned it, “September.”

She Hikes

Violet is seen hiking in her Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “‘Navigating a winding, wooded trail can help your body build endurance, strength, and coordination,’ says Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School. ‘Hiking over uneven terrain requires more energy than walking on a level surface, so it burns more calories. If you are hiking uphill, your body has to work even harder,’ he says. A rigorous hike may offer many of the same physical benefits as interval training, which alternates low- and high-intensity exercise to increase cardiovascular fitness. During a hike, your heart rate goes up as you move up an incline and drops when you head downhill.”

She Swims

Violet also likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself in a pool. Violet captioned the post, “It’s giving nirvana.” Harvard Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Relatively few people swim on a regular basis, so large studies looking at the benefits of physical activity in relation to cardiovascular health have tended to lump swimming together with other types of exercise. Plenty of evidence points to lower rates of heart disease among people who do regular, moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise — and swimming laps definitely fits the bill.”

She Goes To Fitness Classes

Violet shared this video on YouTube of some of her favorite workouts. In it, she is seen in a fitness class. According to Iowa State University, group exercise has a lot of benefits. “The highest quality or type of motivation is called intrinsic motivation – you’re doing something because the behavior itself is enjoyable, satisfying or both. If you enjoy exercise and not just the positive feelings you get after you’ve worked out, you are more likely to stick with it. Exercising with other people can supply that enjoyment, even if the activity itself is difficult or otherwise not something you love. Group exercise can turn working out into a fun social activity, which could lead to you continuing to do it.”

She Uses A Treadmill

In her YouTube video, Violet is seen on the treadmill. Harvard Health states that doing this has a lot of health benefits. "While treadmills may seem boring, they can offer a good alternative for exercise, depending on how you use them," says Dr. Adam Tenforde, with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. "There is so much more to treadmills than just 'push the button and start walking.' They also can be helpful for people recovering from an injury or surgery, since you can control the speed and intensity, and they are equipped with handrails for added support when needed.”

She Stretches

Violet is also seen stretching in her YouTube video. Stretching is very important. Harvard Health states, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here’s a full body burn from @thebank_fitcamp. Complete 12-15 reps of each exercise for 3-4 rounds,” she captioned the post from her Tribe Therepē account.

Yoga

During an Alo Moves retreat in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Kayla showed off her yoga pose. “t’s always such a treat getting to work out with their incredible instructors in real life - rather than from the training app like I usually do at home. Super grateful for trips like these that leave you feeling grounded, centered and refreshed,” she captioned the post.

Running and Jogging

Running, or rather “jogging,” is part of Kayla’s routine. 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.

Golf

Kayla loves golf. “Please feel free to save this under ‘athletic girls I follow.’ Thank you so much. 🤭🏌🏽♀️My kinda Wednesday, truly,” she captioned a post. Golf offers lots of benefits per the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

Pilates

Kayla does Pilates. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Strength Trains

Kayla strength trains, which she does in her recent post. 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

Stefanie Williams, a fitness influencer and founder of the popular platform We Glow, is on a mission to empower women worldwide. In a recent Instagram post, Williams celebrated the fourth anniversary of her brand, sharing how it has helped millions of women achieve their goals and feel stronger in their daily lives. Captioning the post, “Let’s keep glowing together,” Williams reflected on her journey from training clients in parks to building a global community. Her workout routine, including exercises like squats, lunges, and Pilates, reflects her commitment to health, strength, and confidence.

She Does Squats

In her Instagram video, Williams is seen doing a lot of different exercises. One thing she is seen doing is squats.

Helps prevent injuries.”

She Does Lunges

Stefanie Williams does lunges outside.

Williams is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic states that lunges have a lot of health benefits. “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 Lifts Weights

Stefanie Williams uses dumbbells.

Williams is also seen using weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights has a lot of 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.”

She Does Plank Exercises

Stefanie Williams is seen doing a variation of a plank.

Another exercise that Williams is seen doing in her Instagram video is plank dips. Any type of plank exercise can be very beneficial. Allina Health states, “The plank is a simple, effective bodyweight exercise that strengthens your core, as well as muscles in your upper and lower body. Core muscles, which include your back and abdomen, help you maintain posture and balance as you stand, sit and move throughout the day.”

She Does Pilates

Williams is a Pilates expert. Pilates has a lot of benefits. The Houston Methodist states, “As far as what muscles Pilates works, it's technically considered a total body workout.

In working the entire body, though, Pilates' movements are primarily designed to target your core muscles, including your: Abdominal muscles. Hip muscles. Gluteal muscles. Lower and upper back muscles. Inner thigh muscles.”

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.

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

  • 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.

Emsculpt NEO

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."
