Madelaine Petsch in Two-Piece is "Better Late Than Ever"

Madelaine Petsch is living her best life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Riverdale alum shows off her amazing body in a green bathing suit. She captioned the series of snaps, “better late than never,” eliciting major compliments from her followers. “You look stunning in every picture it’s insane,” wrote one, while another added, “the most precious person in the world.” How does the star approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle tips.

1. Exercise, But “Listen to Your Body”

“I used to feel like I ‘had’ to work out everyday, I’m not sure why. But lately I've been going to the gym when it sounds fun to me and more for my mental health. I’ve honestly never felt better or seen better results in my strength. Listen to your body,” Petsch revealed in an interview. "The thing I love most about my body is how perplexed I am about all the things it can do. The more I learn about my body the more fascinated I am by it,” she added in a Body Scan video for Women's Health. "The more I move the happier I'll be. I link my mental health to working out."

2. Amp Up Your Protein Intake

Madelaine, a long time vegan, explains that her diet takes planning. "Protein is something I really have to be aware of in every meal or else my energy levels just go completely downhill,” she dished to Women’s Health. She added that she’s “such a carb fan” but instead of eating white pasta she eats a lot of protein pasta, like red lentil pasta. "I need to hit my salivary glands and I also need to hit my protein."

3. Read a Book

Madelaine revealed in a social media post that reading is one of her “reset” habits. Why should you pick up a book? 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 compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

4. Ride Horses

Madelaine is an avid equestrian. “Wholesome,” she captioned a recent snap. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

5. Hydrate

Madelaine drinks a whopping 11 to 13 500 ml-bottles of water per day. The Mayo Clinic explains that water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

6. Do Ab Work

"The body part I love exercising the most is my abs. I think that my abs feel the most pain and I love the feeling of being sore,” she told Women’s Health. "My trainer does this thing called six-minute abs, which is honestly deathly. They are the hardest thing ever." He doesn't tell me what it is, every minute or 30 seconds he'll switch to a new thing but he'll never tell me because then my brain can't anticipate it."

7. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

"I always eat breakfast," Petsch told Women’s Health. However, sometimes she won’t eat until the evening afterward. "It'll be 5 p.m. and I haven't had lunch. My energy levels will completely drop. That's where I struggle, making time to eat because I'll forget." Madelaine detailed her diet to People, which amounts to 1,700 calories per day.

• Breakfast: Overnight oats made with organic oats, almond milk, chia seeds, cacao nibs, and raspberries, plus coffee with more almond milk.
• Snack: Apple with almond butter; one scoop of Macro Greens powder with water
• Lunch: Spinach salad topped with cranberries, walnuts, chickpeas, brown rice and green goddess dressing.
• Snack: NuGo Slim Crunchy Peanut Butter Vegan Protein Bar
• Dinner: Broccoli “steak” (two heads of broccoli sliced, spiced, and roasted) with vegan cheddar "cheese" with a side of brown rice and black beans.
• Dessert: Vegan banana ice cream .

"Health is most important to me. It's not about losing weight or gaining weight. When I want to lose weight, or gain weight, I know how to do it in a healthy way. So if I have to do something that is going to be completely unhealthy for me, then that's not the job for me. Someone else should have that job that's already there… It's called No."

Soaking in the tub with a glass of wine is always a good go-to. My children are always up for a good time. They make me laugh so much and so sometimes, if I can't get home to where they are, I'll send for them to come to where I am. And I purpose to laugh every day. I don't care what the day brings, I have to find a place for laughter and that really feeds my soul.”

Now, when a teacher asks a little girl what she wants to be when she grows up, she can be anything. She can be a firefighter. She can be in the air force or in the marines. Girls can go to the moon now. This is doable.”

It’s been a journey to try and pull up, and I found this year I needed more help. It is helping. I am relieved and feel more like myself- and I will find my way again and now it feels possible.”

1. Hardcore Ab Workouts

Petsch works out with a personal trainer who puts her through her paces. "The body part I love exercising the most is my abs,” she says. “I think that my abs feel the most pain and I love the feeling of being sore. My trainer does this thing called six-minute abs, which is honestly deathly. They are the hardest thing ever. He doesn't tell me what it is, every minute or 30 seconds he'll switch to a new thing but he'll never tell me because then my brain can't anticipate it. I can still feel my workout in my abs and that is *chef's kiss* a beautiful thing."

2. Lots of Protein

Petsch enjoys vegan red lentil pasta for protein and taste. "Protein is something I really have to be aware of in every meal or else my energy levels just go completely downhill… I really like protein pasta because I'm such a carb fan,” she says. “I need to hit my salivary glands and I also need to hit my protein."

3. Vegan Diet

Petsch was raised in a vegan household. “I’ve been plant-based my whole life. Being vegan keeps my body fueled and running smoothly,” she says. “I exercise for an hour and a half: a 2 to 3 mile run, and then muscle training. I eat [overnight oats] everyday! I’m not always able to plan ahead. My diet works for me because I can be very flexible about what I eat in a day. I eat clean and non-processed food, which helps me avoid feeling fatigued on long workdays.”

4. Self-Care

Petsch always makes time for self-care. “I have a personal trainer out here in Vancouver, and I love training with her,” she says. “And then afterward, I’ll come home, I’ll put my phone on ‘do not disturb,’ I’ll put on one of my favorite playlists, I’ll light a bunch of candles, I’ll make a bubble bath, and I’ll bring a book in there—it’s a whole thing. I have my robe on, I have my diffuser going—I really love my alone time as well. I also like to go to bed early—it’s a treat to me. Or even making a YouTube video and editing it.”

5. Less Is More

Petsch keeps her looks as simple as possible when she’s not working. “I think I always had the idea that less is more when it came to makeup,” she says. “I remember watching my mom getting ready in the morning, and she would put just a little bit of gold eye shadow on her eyelids and a little bit of mascara and that was it. You know when you’re young, you look up to your mom, and I remember always wanting to do whatever she was doing when it came to her makeup.”

Sophie Nélisse wowed us all on the Showtime series Yellowjackets, playing young Shauna, the teenage survivor of a plane crash with her fellow high school soccer players who grows up locked into a mystery that involves cannibalism, murder and betrayal. How did the 24-year-old Canadian land such a role, and how does she stay mentally fit? (One way is to take a vacation after all the hard work; she just shared photos of herself in a swimsuit in her recent “Mexico roll” photo dump.) Read on to see 5 ways Sophie Nélisse approaches life and work 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 “Never Satisfied” With Her Work and “Shocked” at all the Love

“I'm quite the pessimist in general,” she told Dead Talk Live when asked about whether or not she thought Yellowjackets would get a second season. (It has.) “Like I'm never satisfied with any of the work that I do. So I was quite skeptical. But the show runners and everyone that was working on the project, they kept telling us towards the end of the shoot, how amazing the first episodes were and how the response to it was great. And they were very confident that the show would get the amount of love and respect that it got. I was skeptical. But it's hard to say when you're in it, when you're shooting it, there's always little things that you see that other people don't….I mean, I'm still kind of shocked at the amount of love we've been getting.”

2. This is Why the Show Broke Out So Fast, She Thinks

Why did Yellowjackets become such an immediate smash? “I think it's because it's mostly a bunch of women and that's something we're not used to seeing,” she told Dead Talk Live. “We're used to seeing groups of people and, and we know that men are strong and capable of such cruelty and aggressivity. And that's not expected of women. We're not used to seeing women's darker side and flaws. And I think that that's what makes the show so unique and, to see how strong women are together, when we work as a team and as a group were kind of undefeatable and I think that's what's so amazing about the show.”

3. This is How She Approached Playing a Younger Version of a Well-Known Actress

Playing a young Melanie Lynskey, “For me, it wasn't that difficult because if you look at it from a character point of view, my character, when she's set in the wilderness or at any time, actually doesn't know what's gonna happen ahead of her,” she told Dead Talk News. “So I try not to let anything that's written of my older self affect my character, the way I play things, because Shauna doesn't know what events are about to happen. She doesn't know if she's gonna kill someone. She doesn't know what's to come. So I kind of try to just take it day by day. Obviously now that I've seen the first season and, and seen how Melanie plays Shauna, there are little things that I've picked up on, like the way she clenches her lips together sometimes, or the way she just plays certain lines, the dark humor that she brings to it. Those are definitely things that I'm gonna try to incorporate in the second season, if I have a chance.”

4. She Underwent a Physical Transformation

To play a young Shauna, “I had to go through obviously some physical changes because I'm blonde with blue eyes and in the show I've” got brown hair “with brown eyes. And I also noticed when we first started talking that we have quite a different like pitch in her voice, like she speaks way higher and I speak quite lower. So we kind of had to adjust to sort of meet in the middle and kind of, sort of sound the same.”

5. Here’s Why She Became an Actor

“I kind of fell into acting when I was young because my brother wanted to become an actor,” she said at the Toronto International Film Festival way back in 2016. “And at the time I was doing gymnastics, so I kind of just started acting a bit to get money, to pay for the travel expenses. And recently I was sitting down because I needed to find what I needed to study after I finished high school and I was looking at all these different jobs and I was like, nothing is as interesting as like acting. And I was like, there's nothing that fits with my personality as much as acting. I was like, being an actress: It makes me travel. It makes me meet different people every day. And the kind of the routine of like a job that you do the same thing every day, that really bugs me. And with acting, I don't have that. It's always something different and something new. And so I discovered that I really wanted to be an actress, only like three months ago.”
