Madison LeCroy is shaping up in 2024 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the Southern Charm star shows off her washboard abs in bike shorts and a sports bra while revealing her workout and self-care routine. “A little glimpse into my at home workout! If you don’t follow me on tik tok come follow me for my workouts!” she wrote in the caption. “I'm over eating healthy and working out every day. But we're going to keep going. We're going to be strong, we're going to be healthy. That's the main key for all of this,” she adds in the video. Here is everything you need to know about her plan to shape up.


1. Running

Madison starts her workout with a vigorous run on the treadmill. She starts by running sideways and then spends a lot of time running at a fast speed. 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.

2. Ab Work

Next, Madison moves on to an intense ab workout. A few of the moves she does to strengthen her midsection are crunches and side planks. Doing exercises like crunches and planks are great for building muscle in your abs. However, if your goal is to flatten your abs, you will have to change your diet. “Abs are made in the kitchen,” is a regular quote given by fitness pros.

3. Sauna

“Then we are going to move on to the sauna for 45 minutes at 175 degrees,” Madison says. “A little touch of hell. I say, it's really good for you. So that's what this year is about.” Should you take a dry sauna? While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn’t a lot of research backing up the claims.

4. Cold Plunge

Next up for Madison? “Move down to the cold plunge for three minutes at around 42 degrees,” she says. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

5. AMPAP

Madison maintains she transformed her body from skinny to strong in just 6 weeks with the help of GunnarMade. One of the techniques she relies on? AMRAP – or as many reps as possible – using dumbbells, bands, a jump rope, and mat. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Madison LeCroy is best known for being a cast member on the Bravo series, Southern Charm. LeCroy also shares a lot of stunning photos on Instagram. She recently shared a gym photo on her story. In it, LeCroy wore a white workout bra and black pants. She captioned the post, “Returning after a two-week break, and @Megabodi is still one of the best workouts out there!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Madison LeCroy stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s Consistent

LeCroy makes sure to stay consistent with her lifestyle. She talked about the importance of this in this TikTok from January. “OK, we’re getting into a workout. It’s that first week of January where you’re like, ‘Alright, I’m over this. I’m over dry January. I’m over eating healthy and working out every day.’ But we’re gonna keep going, we’re gonna be strong, we’re gonna be healthy. That’s the main key for all of this.”

2. She Works Her Abs

As you can see from her Instagram story, LeCroy has an amazing set of abs. She makes sure to do a lot of core workouts to get those abs. LeCroy shared some of her favorite core exercises in this Instagram post. In it, she is seen doing crunches with her legs at 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. She captioned the post, “Wanted to share my go-to about workout since you have all been asking! If you have a favorite ab workout please share with me in comments below :)”

3. She Uses A Cleansing Brush

LeCroy has amazing skin. She shared some of her favorite products in an interview with E! News. LeCroy says that she uses a cleansing brush from Foreo Luna to keep her face nice. "A lot of people have recommended this little cleansing brush. I like this one because it's more sanitary to me than Clarisonic. It comes in a little bag. If you want that extra clean and you feel like you can never get the makeup off, this is the product that you need.”

4. She Dry Brushes

LeCroy tells New Beauty that she likes to dry brush to keep her skin looking healthy. “I love dry brushing before a good shower,” she said. ” I will also do this before a sauna. Obviously, you would follow up with a body oil to make sure that skin is hydrated and youthful-looking. Add this to your skin-care basket for mom because it’s really good.”

5. She Runs

LeCroy likes to run to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her trainer, Gunner Made, going on a run together. LeCroy captioned the post, “Not only is he a coach but he’s my accountability coach @gunnar_made mad-made program drops this Monday around two baby.”

Madison LeCroy is no stranger to posting photos of her fit figure, especially if they involve her wearing a swimsuit. The Southern Charm star just posted a new one to her Instagram story. In it, LeCroy lounged on a chair while wearing a white bathing suit, accompanied by Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” playing in the background. (In a second pic, she’s also maxing and relaxing.) How does she stay so in shape? Read on to see 5 ways Madison LeCroy 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 Went Plant-Based

madison-lecroy-1Madison LeCroy/Instagram

LeCroy is open about her wellness and diets. In 2020, she revealed on her Instagram stories that she had started adapting a plant-based diet, and that she’s seeing results. “I started this detox (plant based diet) at 128.7 and four days later, I’m 125.6,” she shared. “Most importantly, the body fat is down.” Among our favorites, in terms of their vitamins and fiber, are artichokes, asparagus, beets, bell peppers, broccoli, cabbage (all kinds), carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, garlic, green beans, greens such as spinach, chard, collard or kale, leeks, mushrooms, onions, parsnips, peppers, radishes, rutabagas, shallots, squash, tomatoes and turnips.

2. She Works With A Trainer

madison-lecroy-2Madison LeCroy/Instagram

LeCroy works with personal trainer Gunnar Made, to help her stay in shape. She has posted several videos and reels on Instagram of herself working out with Made. In this reel, LeCroy is seen doing several different workouts, including squats, and using a stair climber. She captioned the reel, “I push my limit when I’m with you. @gunnarmade.”

3. She Has A Home Gym

While LeCroy does like to hit the gym, she doesn’t always have to leave her house to do so. She has a home gym, and has posted videos of herself doing different workouts while she’s there. LeCroy posted this series of photos and videos on Instagram of herself doing deadlifts with a barbell, using the elliptical, and doing hanging crunches. She captioned the post, “Girl, do it for you!” "Dumbbells come in various weights and designs. Choose weights that offer a little challenge and keep them handy. You could curl your way through a commercial break while watching television, or use first thing in the morning," says the Mayo Clinic. "Using resistance bands can improve your strength and muscle tone. They are lightweight, take up little space, and can easily travel with you for work or vacation."

4. She Circuit Trains

LeCroy revealed on this Instagram video that she loves to circuit train, at any time. Even when she has just finished up a cardio workout or a run. LeCroy posted this video on Instagram of herself doing a circuit after a run. In the video, she is seen jumping rope, doing squats, and mountain climbers. "The more vigorously you exercise, the more calories you'll burn — even if you increase intensity for just a few minutes at a time," says the Mayo Clinic. "Interval training enables you to complete an effective workout in less time than a standard cardiovascular workout. For example, you might complete a workout in about 15 to 20 minutes or less instead of 40 minutes."

5. She Works Out Her Lower Body

LeCroy says that she doesn’t skip leg day. She showed off her go-to lower body workout in this Instagram video. In the video, LeCroy is seen doing side walks, lunge walks, and donkey kicks, all with a resistance band. Our legs and backside contain some of the largest muscles in our body. As a result, they store—and burn—the most glycogen. An exercise routine that brings these large muscles into play will burn off larger amounts of glycogen, and cause a greater reduction in fat stores, than a routine in which you’re working your arms or chest, for example.

Fitness YouTuber Madalin Giorgetta in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Ab Routine"

Giorgetta shares her top ab exercises and tips for building a balanced fitness routine.

Fitness YouTuber Madalin Giorgetta in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Ab Routine"

Madlin Giorgetta, a fitness influencer with a strong presence on social media and YouTube, inspires her followers with accessible workout routines and relatable fitness advice. Recently, she shared her favorite ab exercises in an Instagram video, captioning the post, “Healed former BBG girlies unite! (IYKYK) 💥 PS still working on developing that happy relationship with my ab routine - it’s more a ‘I-know-it’s-good-for-me-situationship 😂.” From core workouts to meditation, Giorgetta emphasizes balance and self-acceptance in her approach to fitness.

She Does Planks

In her Instagram video, Giorgetta is seen holding a plank. Harvard Health states that planks have a lot of benefits. “The plank pose is where you hold a push-up position while resting on your forearms. This simple move is the ideal exercise for strengthening crucial core muscles. As you go about your day, almost every move you make revolves around your core — from picking up items on the floor to twisting to see if the coast is clear when driving.”

She Does Bicycle Crunches

Another ab exercise that Giorgetta is seen doing in her Instagram video is bicycle crunches. ACE Fitness states that these are very effective. “The bicycle crunch is the top exercise for strengthening your rectus abdominis — the muscles in front of your abdomen — according to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), beating exercises like the captain's chair, crunches and the ab roller. Bicycle crunches also play a role in supporting your back during everyday activities like running, bending over and lifting.”

She Does Donkey Kicks

Giorgetta is seen doing donkey kicks in her Instagram video. Gymless states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Another fantastic exercise to activate the glutes is the donkey kick. Starting on all fours, flex one foot and lift that leg behind you, keeping your knee bent, as if you’re trying to push the ceiling with your heel. This movement focuses on the gluteus maximus and helps in achieving that lifted and toned rear look. Incorporate resistance bands or ankle weights to increase the challenge as you progress.”

She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

Giorgetta talked about the importance of not feeling pressure at the gym in this Instagram post’s caption. “If you’re a first time gym go-er it can be intimidating starting your first workout. You’re not sure how the machines work, you think everyone is looking at, you feel self conscious in front of the bros… and I think lots of girlies just feel put off because they don’t know what to do or where to start 😖The best time to start is now! Show up and you’ve done half the work. Familiarising yourself with the gym will help you become more comfortable and confident 🌟You don’t have to jump into the deep end and start doing barbell deadlifts. You also don’t want to hurt yourself, slowly build your confidence with this workout routine! You don’t have to try to learn new machines or walk around the gym looking like you know what you’re doing when you actually have no clue how to use a hack squat machine. You can plant yourself in one spot, put your headphones in and zone in 💥”

She Meditates

Giorgetta likes to practice meditation. She revealed in this Instagram post’s caption that this can help with her gut health. “Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol and activates the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight response), which can negatively impact digestive function by: 🩸 Reducing blood flow to the gut. 💩 Altering gut motility (leading to constipation, diarrhea, or bloating). 💦 Increasing gut permeability (‘leaky gut’). 🔥 Contributing to gut inflammation. By reducing stress through relaxation, visualisation meditation helps the body shift into a parasympathetic state (rest-and-digest mode), which improves digestion, gut motility, and overall gut health 🌿”

1. She Spends Time on The Water

LeCroy lives in South Carolina, which has many incredible beaches and bodies of water. And according to her Instagram, she loves going outside and exploring the water. LeCroy posted this series of photos and video of her boating with her boyfriend, captioning it, “But did we sink?!” "With Americans taking less vacation, more than ever people need to restore their minds. Being on the water has been shown to offer relaxation, restoration and happiness, along with the added benefits of exercise, social time, and a connection with nature," says the NMMA.

2. She Golfs

madison-lecroy-boat-2Madison LeCroy / Instagram

According to this video on her instagram, LeCroy is a fan of golfing. She playfully captioned the video, “This is the kind of fore play my man likes.” "Before you start your golf stretches, you may want to warm up with five to 10 minutes of light activity, such as walking around the practice tee. If you have time, complete the full series of golf stretches outlined here. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds. Studies have found performing an individual stretch one time is beneficial, and repeating an individual stretch generally isn't necessary. Do one set of golf stretches every day and another set before and after each round of golf," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Runs On The Treadmill

madison-lecroy-boatMadison LeCroy / Instagram

In this reel on her Instagram, LeCroy let her followers in on some of her favorite ways to exercise. The first thing she is seen doing is running on a treadmill. "Try to find a speed that you can comfortably run at for at least 15 minutes. Find your heart rate at that speed and make sure you take it at least three times and get similar values. Also, see if you can talk at this pace at about the five - minute and 10- minute marks," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Weight Trains

In the same reel, LeCroy also revealed that she’s a fan of weight training. The reality star is seen using two different types of weights, and doing two different exercises. She’s seen deadlifting with a dumbbell, and doing squat lunges with a handweight. "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," says NCH.

5. Here's One Recent Workout

Madison's recent workout? Here it is: "@gunnar_made says that I sound like a baby goat during my workout (baaa)I hate y’all missed that-

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.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

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.

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

5 Simple Fitness Habits To Stay Toned Like Mariana Morais

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.”

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?

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.
