Madison Reyes is unveiling her new exercise gear collection. In a new social media post the singer shows off her incredible body while promoting her new sportswear line. “Action shots of our new All Kinds of Love Crewneck wore it out to the gym looking prettyyy good! Did you get your hands on one? Orders to be shipped out soon just waiting on correct tote bags 🩷 (sweats not available)” she captioned the post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Ice Skating

Madison enjoys ice skating. “Had an amazing christmas with my love this year! Got to go to a private ice skating session at the ppl center. Had a fun christmas pajama party, was so nice to see everyone! Madison cooked with every gift she got me, i know i did a good job getting hers aswell haha! Hope everyone had a merry christmas!” she captioned a post. According to Harvard Medical School, ice skating will burn up to 200 calories per hour. It is also great for joint and muscle health and helps improve balance and coordination.

2. Dancing

One of her main forms of fitness? Dancing, a great workout that helps build strength and promote flexibility, and also helps you lose weight and promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

3. Workout Buddies

Madison has the ultimate workout partner, her boyfriend Shaun Scudder. “#gymbuddys,” she captioned a post.

4. Strength Training

Madison hits the gym for strength training sessions. 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

5. Coffee

Madison regularly shares photos of her coffee drinks. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

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

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.

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.

Fitness influencer Whitney Simmons is sharing her go-to back and biceps workout with fans and social media followers. Simmons, 31, shared pictures and video of herself wearing leggings and a sports bra, using dumbbells and a cable crossover machine. “🔥LETS PULL IT 🥵 back + biceps coming at you straight from @thealiveapp 💦” she captioned the post. “Yesss, let's get it, girl! This workout lineup is fire 🔥,” commented Alexia Clark. Here’s how the trainer stays fit and focused.


1. Weight Training

Simmons says weight training changed her life—but beginners need a plan. “When I started going to the gym, it was such an intimidating place to be, especially for a beginner," she told Life & Style. “Go into the gym with a plan, and start with something that’s dumbbells only… and take those dumbbells to a place in the gym where you feel more comfortable, and you can start weight training at home as well. Buying a pair of dumbbells and doing a dumbbell-only workout at home or in a safe spot in the gym, whether that’s a classroom or just a corner, is an amazing way to get into it and is less intimidating.”

2. Mental and Physical Happiness

Simmons is proud of her success, which is the result of years of hard work and sacrifice. “I have been sincerely shocked by the impact that I have made on women across the world,” she told Forbes. “We’ve built this amazing community that is full of inspiration chasing after the same goal of finding physical and mental happiness.”

3. Living With Psoriasis

Simmons has psoriasis, which she no longer tries to cover up. “The more severe it got, the more I wanted to cover it,” she told Women’s Health. “I have so many women in my DMs who say, ‘I used to cover every inch of my body at the gym, and now I just don’t care. I am going to wear the shorts.’”

4. Gymshark Line

Simmons has a line with Gymshark, inspired by her own approach to style. “My favorite thing to do is just pop on leggings with a pair of white sneakers,” she told Life & Style. “I love my white sneakers, it’s an unhealthy obsession. I love investing in staple pieces that I can have in my closet for several seasons because they don’t ever go out of style. So I wanted to create a range that was going to be a lot of staples, always going to be something that you can go to for several years to come.”

5. Back and Biceps Workout

Here is that back and biceps workout from Simmons in full:

1️⃣ 3x10 single arm bent over row

2️⃣ 3x8 incline bicep curls

3️⃣ 3x10 cable straight arm pulldown

superset 4️⃣ 10 cable hammer curls

5️⃣ 3x10 lat pulldown

Mikaela Mayer is a powerhouse in professional boxing, known for her dedication to the sport and her impressive accolades, including titles in the WBO and IBF. Recently, Mayer shared highlights from a fight on Instagram, sporting a vibrant lime-green workout set. She captioned the post, “Loved the lime green. Time to start planning the next one. Watcha think?” Beyond her eye-catching gear, Mayer’s commitment to intense training, recovery, and resilience has helped her build a career that’s as inspiring as it is formidable. Here’s a closer look at how she maintains peak performance.

She Does Intense Workouts

Mayer keeps her workouts intense. She described them in an interview with Equinox. “I work out four hours a day, six days a week. I have a two-hour training session starting at 9 a.m. I start with a warm-up before running intervals. My pace has to be fast and explosive. I’ll do eight two-minute sprints. Sometimes I do suicides—I’ll run for 45 seconds with a minute rest between, and I’ll do it 15 times.”

She Eats A Lot Of Protein

Mayer revealed to Equinox that she eats a protein-rich diet. “I eat every two hours so I never feel low on energy. My diet emphasizes a lot of protein and vegetables, and I eat small portions. I have an iron deficiency so I eat red meat about three times a week. I’m not big on fish unless it’s raw. I love sushi and eat it once or twice a week. I also eat a lot of chicken breast.”

She Learns From Failures

Mayer doesn’t let her setbacks define her. She tells Men’s Journal that she likes to learn from them. “Going into my first Olympic year, making it to the finals and then losing, and then losing by only two points … that was rough. But I knew I had so much more to learn. I hadn’t hit my peak yet, and the dream was still alive. When you have a dream, you have a dream.”

She Recovers

Mayer makes sure to recover, and shared her process with Equinox. “There’s an amazing recovery room with massage, a cold plunge, a Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna at the Olympic Training Center. I usually go after my morning training session. I do dry needling once a week. It’s not the same as acupuncture. The needle goes deeper and is attached to electric stimulation so it pulsates. I do it for about five minutes, usually on my IT bands because they tighten up a lot. It’s aggressive and leaves a little bruising, but it works.”

She Does A Variety Of Workouts

I strength train, focusing on my core and shoulders with push-ups, pull-ups and Russian twists. I do a lot of I’s, T’s and Y’s using the TRX and also for push-ups so I engage my core more than I would normally. My second two-hour workout is a boxing session at 3 p.m. I start with a 15-minute warm-up, which includes a series of rotational movements because my coach is big on getting full extension out of my punches. Next is two to four rounds of shadowboxing drills. It’s a time for me to think about my combinations and technique and drill them into my subconscious. Sometimes I’ll circle around the ring, moving forward, backward and side-to-side. All of those angles are really important when you’re throwing punches. I’ll finish the session with sparring or mitt work. I spar three times a week, usually six three-minute rounds at a time. Sometimes it’s technical work, and if I do a bag session, it’s for 10 rounds.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows.

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

Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

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

Pilates

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?
