On an episode of SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash, Ed Sheeran talked about his approach to diet and exercise. He says that he believes in balance when it comes to his diet. "The reason I work out is so I can eat and drink whatever I want,” he said. "And that's a really healthy way of being. It's all about balance. Like you can have a filthy burger once a week if you want, and you can have ice cream every day if you wanna have it, it's just about balance."

2. Usher

In addition to being a singer, Usher played Sugar Ray Leonard in the film Hands of Stone. In a 2016 interview with People, Usher revealed how he got in shape for the role. “The first 20 lbs. are the hardest in the world," he says. "When you get into that year of work and you created goals and met them, you don't want to go back and completely fall off the wagon. But Usher Ray likes to have cookies on occasion."

3. Khalid

2022 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsCindy Ord/WireImage

In 2019, Khalid talked about how he approaches his career to HypeBeast. “The moment that your job becomes homework, that’s the moment that you don’t really love it. So I only make music when I’m feeling it, if not, nothing will get created. I feel like I’m one of the laziest songwriters because I’d rather spend time eating doughnuts and riding ATVs than writing songs, but when I’m writing a song it’s because it’s something I feel inside of me.”

4. Bruno Mars

2018 Billboard Music Awards - BackstageKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Bruno Mars talked about living in the public eye in an interview with NME. “Don’t get me wrong, the fact that people want to talk about me or my music is incredible. But to me it’s just, ‘Play the record and you’ll get everything!’ That’s me. That’s where I’m at in life right now. And I don’t know if I can explain it any better than that.”

5. Shawn Mendes

94th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsDavid Livingston/Getty Images

Shawn Mendes told GQ that he used to obsess over exercising. "Some days I would have three hours of sleep, [because] I'd get up two hours early just to be able to work out.” He says that he’s moved away from this type of thinking, and is prioritizing his sleep. “Taking that extra few hours of sleep, instead of waking up to pump iron, is a better choice sometimes.”

6. Post Malone

2018 American Music Awards - Red CarpetEmma McIntyre/Getty Images

Post Malone notably lost a lot of weight, and revealed how he did so on Instagram. "I've had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and I'd suppose, performance on stage,” he started. “I'm having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier. I guess dad life kicked in and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel. Next up is smokes and brews, but I like to consider myself a patient man… lol!"

7. Lewis Capaldi

62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards – ArrivalsFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

In an interview with Variety, Lewis Capaldi revealed why he shared his Tourette’s diagnosis with people. “For every supportive person and every kind word you get, you’re going to have people who slate it or send it up. If people notice things that are concurrent with what’s going on in their life, then it’s all been worth it.”

8. Charlie Puth

2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

“A good song can help me run five more miles. It can change somebody’s life. The fact that I have the great privilege of creating music is never something I take for granted. Music is a big part of my life, and working out fuels that.”

9. John Legend

John Legend tells GQ that he likes to eat a lot of salads, and shared his favorite ingredients. “It's just simple greens, mixed greens. I like cherry tomatoes, so I throw those in there. And a vinaigrette dressing. And my omelet or eggs will be one full egg and a bunch of egg whites, because I can't have too many yolks because of cholesterol, again. I'm like an old man already, but I don't miss the yolks that much.”

10. Dan Reynolds

2022 American Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In an interview with GQ, Imagine Dragons frontman, Dan Reynolds opened up about how he handles his autoimmune disease. He says that he had to make a lot of dietary changes. “I cut out basically all processed foods, sugar—except fruit; I eat a lot of fruit—and add a lot of vegetables, a lot of complex carbs. I try not to eat red meat. Lamb is fine, chicken is fine. But no dairy. But all that being said, I don’t do it a hundred percent. I do it probably 95 percent, or else I‘d lose my mind. And I notice if I maintain that, and I work out every day to flood all my joints—specifically my hips—with blood, that activity and diet together has kept me in remission for about seven years.”

11. Troye Sivan

amfAR Gala Cannes 2023 - ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Troye Sivan opened up about his approach to skincare to Byrdie. "When I work with a really great makeup artist, I'm always surprised at how much time they spend on the skin before they've even put a single makeup product on. They're really, really focused on the health of your skin—just hydrating and giving you moisture. Then I feel like everything looks better, and it seems more like it's coming from within, you know? Rather than just [makeup] sitting on top. I think that that was a big learning curve for me. You can't just put whatever on your face. Like, you know, you have to take care of yourself."

12. Justin Bieber

64th Annual GRAMMY Awards - ArrivalsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Justin Bieber opened up about his life and past struggles in an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. He says that his faith has helped him overcome a lot of trauma. “Obviously I've been so just very public about my faith journey and how my relationship with Jesus has helped me to just not be so hard on myself," he said. "Just the idea that I'm forgiven and that he's walking me through this journey and day by day, I get to just get better and better and not be too hard on myself."

13. Adam Levine

Adam Levine works with trainer Austin Pohlen to help him stay in shape. Pohlen opened up about working with the singer to Us Weekly. “He walks on the treadmill for, like, an hour and a half to two hours every day and then we train, but he also adds in yoga about three times a week and then a little less than that right now, but yoga has really helped him. And then one day a week we’ve been doing Pilates.”

14. Jason Derulo

JBL True SummerKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Jason Derulo broke down his workout routine to GQ. He says that being a performer affects what he does to exercise. “My rehearsals are pretty vigorous, which takes a toll on your body, but also, it makes you lose weight, which I don't want, so I usually lift pretty heavy during that time and eat more, because I'm not really into the skinny vibes. That’s something I always really struggle with when I'm on tour.”

15. Sam Smith

2022 iHeartRadio Music Festival - Night 1 - BroadcastGabe Ginsberg/Getty Images

In an interview with Billboard, Sam Smith talked about a period of time when they lost touch with their loved ones. Smith revealed that having vocal chord surgery caused them to reconnect with their loved ones. “Losing touch with them, and my friends, felt like I was ­losing my ­function to operate as a human being. So to be able to spend time around them after my operation, and not being able to talk, enabled me to ­listen, and to just be. I’d had enough of me, me, me for a while.”

16. Niall Horan

The BRIT Awards 2020 - Red Carpet ArrivalsJoe Maher/Getty Images

Niall Horan opened up about writing music in quarantine to Apple Music. He says that he wants to keep his writing as natural as possible. “I went back and I got bored and started writing straight away, and I felt like I wrote, like, five or six songs when I got back, and I was like, ‘Maybe I should do something with this, ’cause it feels normal.’ It feels natural. I’m not trying to write anything crazily in particular. Just, like, this is what I write, the way, the way I most naturally write.”

17. Zayn Malik

60th Annual GRAMMY Awards - ArrivalsJamie McCarthy/Getty Images

In his autobiography, Zayn Malik opened up about several things, including his struggles with anxiety. He opened up about why he decided to do this to Time. “Anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of; it affects millions of people every day. I know I have fans out there who have been through this kind of thing, too, and I wanted to be honest for their sake, if nothing else.”

18. Liam Payne

In an interview on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Liam Payne talked about changes he made to his lifestyle. He says that he realized that he had been drinking a lot and decided to cut it out. “I did worry up until the last few months. I think a lot of people had this same sort of thing, alcohol. It was getting earlier and earlier and easier and easier to go to.”

19. Harry Styles

The BRIT Awards 2020 - Red Carpet ArrivalsJoe Maher/Getty Images

Harry Styles is all about putting his mental health first. He is open about his love of meditation. He also tells Rolling Stone that he likes to go to therapy. "I committed to doing [therapy] once a week. I felt like I exercise every day and take care of my body, so why wouldn’t I do that with my mind?”

The “Goodies” songstress revealed to Women’s Health that she’s had to make some changes to her workout. "I've accepted that my body will never be what it used to be. I have diastasis recti, which is when your ab muscles split after birth. When I learned this, it was game-changing because you can train wrong for your abs. I had to educate myself on that and learn to retrain my abs."

The “Hot & Cold” songstress tells Prevention that she’s a fan of Transcendental Meditation®. “It clears my head completely,” Perry says. “And it ignites something in my brain. I get some of my best creative ideas when I’m TM®’ing. For me, TM® has been anxiety-reducing, depression-reducing, great for jet lag, hangovers, mood swings. Anytime I’m in a funky mood, I’m like, ‘give me 20 minutes.’”

Kaley Cuoco works with trainer, Ryan Sorensen, to help her stay in shape. Sorensen opened up about working with Cuoco in an interview with E! News.

Zocchi opened up about working with Hemsworth in an interview with Page Six. “Chris takes it very, very seriously, and the shape he gets into, it’s phenomenal,” he said. “There’s a real process that goes into achieving these goals. But I think over the last 10 years, we’ve managed to come up with ways to do that.”

6. Liam Hemsworth

The Hunger Games star is in just as good shape as his older brother, Chris. Hemsworth shared some of his workout secrets in an interview with Australian Men’s Health. “It’s just high intensity. A mixture of calisthenics, sled pulls, sled push and lots of free-weight stuff. But we don’t stop for the 60 minutes. You’re sweating and breathing hard, but also moving a lot of weight as well.”

7. Daniel Radcliffe

The former Harry Potter star opened up about growing up in the spotlight in an interview with GQ. He says that he has learned to roll with whatever is thrown at him. “Sometimes if you’re denying the reality of what's going on, that can actually make your life harder to live. It took a long time, is what I'm saying. But my late teens or early 20s was where I was like, ‘You have to accept life is gonna be different for you.’”

8. Margot Robbie

Robbie made sure to get in great shape for her roles in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and I, Tonya, as well as for her upcoming role in the Barbie film. She shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Women’s Health UK. "I found boxing sessions and fighting practice for Suicide Squad really fun, but quickly realised I wasn’t so much a fan of lifting weights. When I’m not preparing for a role, I prefer to do workouts I really like, such as dance classes or playing tennis with friends."

The Twilight and Batman star is pretty tight-lipped about his diet and workout routine. He told the Evening Standard that he doesn’t want himself or others to fall into unhealthy habits by obsessing over his diet and exercise. “It’s very, very easy to fall into that pattern as well, even if you’re just watching your calorie intake, it’s extraordinarily addictive — and you don’t quite realise how insidious it is until it’s too late.” Pattinson admitted in the interview that he had done some bad diets in the past, and avoided them ever since.

11. Grant Gustin

2019 Comic-Con International - Day 3Momodu Mansaray/Getty Images

In 2021, Grant Gustin opened up about his wellness journey while filming The Flashon Instagram. “A little progress report from last season to this season,” he wrote in the caption. “About 7 months ago I finally decided to break my cycle of not taking care of myself as well as I should. As many of you may know, I've had anxiety and sometimes depression for as long as I can remember. Over the last 7-10 years or so as I've been more of a "public figure" and had a busier schedule, my anxiety only got worse. It has always had a terrible affect on my appetite and just motivation in general. That's included eating better(and more), working out, daily meditation, and just trying to be more present and happy with who I am. It's honestly one of the reasons you've seen a lot less of me on social media.”

12. Alex Morgan

The soccer star has to stay in shape in order to play her best. Morgan tells The Beet that she follows a plant-based diet. “I didn't feel good eating this meat that was part of that. I didn't want to support that. It's so unnatural, the way animals live and die. And as I started to go more plant-based, first giving up meat and then giving up dairy, I realized the health benefits. I would get reports from my doctor, and my cholesterol dropped in half, which is crazy. All of my blood work which I do every few months was better. And my recovery was much better, I wasn't fatiguing as much. So it benefited me all around. I was fearful it would affect soccer in a detrimental way but it was the opposite. It made me feel better.”

13. Sharna Burgess

2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards - Press RoomFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

Dancing With The Stars pro Sharna Burgess isn’t just relying on ballroom dancing to keep herself in shape. She shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Us Weekly. “I’m a big fan of Tabata because you get so much work done so quickly and you don’t even realize it. You’re sticking to a schedule, you can’t mosey about. You’re in and you’re out in eight minutes with this one.”

14. Peta Murgatroyd

After having her first child, Dancing With The Stars pro, Peta Murgatroyd, picked up cooking to make sure she and her family were eating healthy. “I have fallen in love with cooking for my little family,” she told People. “I used to loathe it, because I never had to do it and therefore never had the passion for it. Now that I’m a mother, and I am concerned with what my child is eating, I am more inclined to cook at home, to ensure I know exactly what’s going in his mouth.”

15. Jenna Ushkowitz

Actress and podcast host, Jenna Ushkowitz, opened up about her wellness secrets in an interview withInTouch Weekly. She says that she is doing things to improve her sleep, especially after having a baby. “Since we have begun sleep training our 5-month-old daughter, I’ve set myself a new personal goal: getting back to eight hours of sleep. My new ritual: non-habit forming, melatonin free, plant-based Social CBD Gummies for Sleep. It’s got all the good stuff like valerian root and lemon balm and — when paired with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills— it’s become my secret antidote to winding down.”

16. Candice Swanepoel

The model opened up about her diet in an interview with InStyle. "It's all about balance for me,” she says. “One meal in the day will be lighter than others, probably during lunch I will [eat something] heavier so that my body has time to burn it off.

17. Taron Egerton

74th Primetime Emmys - ArrivalsMomodu Mansaray/Getty Images

19. Theo James

29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

Actor Theo James shared some of his favorite workouts in a 2016 interview with Marie Claire. “I’ve boxed for a long time, I do it for fun. I love all the things that go along with boxing – you wrap-up, you put on the headgear, you spar, you skip, hit the speed bag, hit some pads. I go to the same place in London, another place in New York and another in LA. So when I touch-down, I often known where I’m going to go to. They’re local boxing spots – you know, a bit grimy but very atmospheric.”

20. Austin Butler

The 95th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsGilbert Flores/Getty Images

To prepare for his role in Elvis, Austin Butler worked with trainer Ryan Gambin. “He really takes his job seriously,” Gambin said of Butler in an interview with The Courier Mail. “And obviously Elvis has a lot to do with his hip movement, so we were doing a lot of hip-dominant exercises, We didn’t have any strength goals … But we pretty much focused everything around his hips."

"Some guys want to be toned or want to jog for miles, but my ultimate fitness goal is to be fight-ready. If I step into the ring, could I go toe-to-toe for five rounds? That's what I strive for. That's what I consider fit. I want to know that if I'm being wrestled to the ground, I've got the strength to fight a man off. Kickboxing is rugged—it's all core strength.

You know, at first you feel like shit, you’re hurting. When things start getting a little easier, when you start lifting weight you never lifted before, when you start bench-pressing 225 pounds 10 times and it ain’t nothing, and then you start giving hugs to girls and they’re, like, feeling you up a little, and you think, ‘What’s this?’—then it’s, ‘This is all right.’ So I learned to love it when I started seeing results.”

I always thought ‘this is agony, I’m not coming back. This is torture’. But this time I just kind of pushed through. I honestly lost an inch off my waist in about 10 days. Now I really enjoy it.”

"The buddy system is definitely up there at the top of how I stay motivated."

2022 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsCindy Ord/WireImage

In 2019, Khalid talked about how he approaches his career to HypeBeast. “The moment that your job becomes homework, that’s the moment that you don’t really love it. So I only make music when I’m feeling it, if not, nothing will get created. I feel like I’m one of the laziest songwriters because I’d rather spend time eating doughnuts and riding ATVs than writing songs, but when I’m writing a song it’s because it’s something I feel inside of me.”

4. Bruno Mars

2018 Billboard Music Awards - BackstageKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Bruno Mars talked about living in the public eye in an interview with NME. “Don’t get me wrong, the fact that people want to talk about me or my music is incredible.

5. Shawn Mendes

94th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsDavid Livingston/Getty Images

Shawn Mendes told GQ that he used to obsess over exercising. "Some days I would have three hours of sleep, [because] I'd get up two hours early just to be able to work out.” He says that he’s moved away from this type of thinking, and is prioritizing his sleep. “Taking that extra few hours of sleep, instead of waking up to pump iron, is a better choice sometimes.”

6. Post Malone

2018 American Music Awards - Red CarpetEmma McIntyre/Getty Images

Post Malone notably lost a lot of weight, and revealed how he did so on Instagram. "I've had a lot of people ask me about my weight loss and I'd suppose, performance on stage,” he started. “I'm having a lot of fun performing, and have never felt healthier. I guess dad life kicked in and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel. Next up is smokes and brews, but I like to consider myself a patient man… lol!"

7. Lewis Capaldi

62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards – ArrivalsFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

In an interview with Variety, Lewis Capaldi revealed why he shared his Tourette’s diagnosis with people. “For every supportive person and every kind word you get, you’re going to have people who slate it or send it up.

8. Charlie Puth

2020 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsFrazer Harrison/Getty Images

“A good song can help me run five more miles. It can change somebody’s life. The fact that I have the great privilege of creating music is never something I take for granted. Music is a big part of my life, and working out fuels that.”

9. John Legend

Nordstrom Celebrates A Legendary Holiday With John Legend And SperryCraig Barritt/Getty Images

John Legend tells GQ that he likes to eat a lot of salads, and shared his favorite ingredients. “It's just simple greens, mixed greens. I like cherry tomatoes, so I throw those in there. And a vinaigrette dressing. And my omelet or eggs will be one full egg and a bunch of egg whites, because I can't have too many yolks because of cholesterol, again. I'm like an old man already, but I don't miss the yolks that much.”

10. Dan Reynolds

2022 American Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

In an interview with GQ, Imagine Dragons frontman, Dan Reynolds opened up about how he handles his autoimmune disease. He says that he had to make a lot of dietary changes. “I cut out basically all processed foods, sugar—except fruit; I eat a lot of fruit—and add a lot of vegetables, a lot of complex carbs. I try not to eat red meat. Lamb is fine, chicken is fine. But no dairy. But all that being said, I don’t do it a hundred percent. I do it probably 95 percent, or else I‘d lose my mind. And I notice if I maintain that, and I work out every day to flood all my joints—specifically my hips—with blood, that activity and diet together has kept me in remission for about seven years.”

11. Troye Sivan

amfAR Gala Cannes 2023 - ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Troye Sivan opened up about his approach to skincare to Byrdie. "When I work with a really great makeup artist, I'm always surprised at how much time they spend on the skin before they've even put a single makeup product on. They're really, really focused on the health of your skin—just hydrating and giving you moisture. Then I feel like everything looks better, and it seems more like it's coming from within, you know? Rather than just [makeup] sitting on top. I think that that was a big learning curve for me. You can't just put whatever on your face. Like, you know, you have to take care of yourself."

12. Justin Bieber

64th Annual GRAMMY Awards - ArrivalsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Justin Bieber opened up about his life and past struggles in an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden.

13. Adam Levine

And then one day a week we’ve been doing Pilates.”

14. Jason Derulo

JBL True SummerKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Jason Derulo broke down his workout routine to GQ. He says that being a performer affects what he does to exercise. “My rehearsals are pretty vigorous, which takes a toll on your body, but also, it makes you lose weight, which I don't want, so I usually lift pretty heavy during that time and eat more, because I'm not really into the skinny vibes. That’s something I always really struggle with when I'm on tour.”

15. Sam Smith

2022 iHeartRadio Music Festival - Night 1 - BroadcastGabe Ginsberg/Getty Images

In an interview with Billboard, Sam Smith talked about a period of time when they lost touch with their loved ones. Smith revealed that having vocal chord surgery caused them to reconnect with their loved ones. “Losing touch with them, and my friends, felt like I was ­losing my ­function to operate as a human being. So to be able to spend time around them after my operation, and not being able to talk, enabled me to ­listen, and to just be. I’d had enough of me, me, me for a while.”

16. Niall Horan

The BRIT Awards 2020 - Red Carpet ArrivalsJoe Maher/Getty Images

He says that he wants to keep his writing as natural as possible. “I went back and I got bored and started writing straight away, and I felt like I wrote, like, five or six songs when I got back, and I was like, ‘Maybe I should do something with this, ’cause it feels normal.’ It feels natural. I’m not trying to write anything crazily in particular. Just, like, this is what I write, the way, the way I most naturally write.”

17. Zayn Malik

Recently, she posted a series of weightlifting photos on Instagram, proving once again why she’s a powerhouse in the gym.

“Just a girl and her barbell,” she captioned the post, letting her strength do the talking. From lifting heavy to outdoor adventures, here’s how Speegle stays in peak condition.

She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram post, Speegle is seen lifting weights. According to ACE Fitness, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

She Golfs

Speegle likes to golf to keep herself in shape. She shared a video of herself on the course in this Instagram post. According to Randa aerobic exercise. “Golf can help strength and balance, improve quality of life and provide aerobic exercise. On a regular 18-hole course, most players will walk between four and five miles, burning up to 2,000 calories.”

She's Into Jumping Rope

Speegle shared this video on Instagram of herself competing in Crossfit events. In it, she is seen jumping rope. According to The Cleveland Clinic, jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Benefits of jump rope can help improve your coordination, get your heart rate going and help burn calories — and it’s an easy, affordable way to get some cardio in.”

She Hikes

Speegle likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking the Koko Head Summit. Speegle captioned the post, “Woke up and chose pain today. Every 45 min X 3 rounds: Koko head 💀💀💀 Then sat in my car and stared into the abyss while munching on Banan 🥲🥲🥲”

She Does Cold Plunges

Speegle makes sure to recover. One thing she likes to do is cold plunges. Speegle shared this video of herself jumping into a tub. According to The Mayo Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day. These benefits may be the result of rapid constriction of the blood vessels due to the cold water. The cold can trigger responses in your body, such as decreased metabolic activity, alterations in hormone production and blood flow, and activation of the immune system.”

Tvesa Malik isn’t just a pro golfer—she’s a powerhouse athlete dedicated to staying in peak shape. The SuperSport Ladies Championship winner knows that strength and endurance are just as important as skill on the course. That’s why she takes her fitness seriously, incorporating weightlifting, core work, and mobility exercises into her training.

Last year, Malik gave fans a look at her workout routine in an Instagram video, where she powered through hanging crunches, lunges, and weightlifting sessions. She captioned the post, “Got some major work to do before my next session,” proving that even elite athletes are always striving to improve. Here’s a closer look at how Malik keeps her body strong and ready for competition.

She Lifts Weights

Malik is seen doing a lot of weight lifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Lunges

Malik is seen shifting into lunges in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that lunges are a form of unilateral training, and that makes them effective. “Unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

She Does Core Workouts

Malik is seen doing core workouts, like hanging crunches in her Instagram video. Core workouts are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes.”

She Does Pull-Ups

An upper body workout that Malik likes to do is pull-ups. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them at the gym. Malik captioned it, “Got some major work to do before my next session.” Asphalt Green says that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

She Golfs

Golf is obviously one of the ways that Malik keeps herself in shape. Better Health says that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Camila Guper is more than just a fitness influencer—she’s a motivation powerhouse. With 1.1 million Instagram followers, she inspires her audience with workout routines, wellness tips, and a disciplined approach to staying fit. Recently, she took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest gym session, including a stairclimber workout, a snapshot of her Apple Watch tracking her progress, and a post-workout mirror selfie in pink workout gear.

Her message? Consistency is key. “Don't underestimate the power of small, consistent actions! Every effort is worth it when you know where you want to go,” she captioned the post. From intense stair workouts to leg-sculpting exercises, here’s how Guper stays in top shape.

She Uses A Stairclimber

In her Instagram post, Guper is seen using the stairclimber. Stair workouts have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness says, “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”

She’s Consistent

Guper makes sure to stay consistent with her workout routines. One way she does so is by staying disciplined. Guper talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Good morning! May we always have the discipline to do what is good for us. Amen 💪🏽🙏🏽✨ 40 min stair + shoulder and chest workout today.”

She Does Lunges

Guper shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, lunges have a lot of 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.”

She Does Leg Extensions

In the previous Instagram video, Guper is seen using the leg extension machine. Asphalt Green says that leg extensions have a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

She Spends Time Outside

Guper likes to spend time outside. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a day by the pool with her dog. Guper captioned the post, “Good Morning! What book are you reading? 📖💚🐺🌮 I'm loving reading How to become super natural! I'm already sharing saying it's a must-read.”
