Read on to see 5 ways Maria Menounos 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 Created Her Own Plan

In an interview with Ladies Home Journal, Menounos revealed that she went through a period where she gained a lot of weight. She says that she tried a lot of established plans to drop the pounds, but nothing work. Menounos decided to look elsewhere. "Since I couldn't find a plan that worked for me, I decided to create my own," she says. "Within a year I lost 40 pounds."

2. She Doesn’t Aim To Be Thin

Menounos says that her main goal is to feel healthy, not to be skinny. She tells Ladies Home Journal that when she was skinny, she wasn’t always healthy, and ended up in and out of the hospital. This is what made her focus on how she felt, not what she weighed. “Just because you're thinner doesn't mean you're healthier. I made it my mission to figure out the very best ways to control my weight and be healthy at the same time."

3. She Focuses On Long Term Success

For Menounos, being healthy took a while. She tells Ladies Home Journal that her focus was correcting unhealthy habits she had, not going on a diet for a couple of weeks. “My goal was to stop overeating, make healthier choices, and lose weight slowly over the course of one year," she says. "Trying to rush or do crazy crash diets does not give you sustainable results."

4. She Has A Food Journal

One thing Menounos does to stay healthy is keeping a food journal. She says that this helps her see what she’s eating, and how it affects her body and weight. "Before you change your diet, spend a week recording everything that you eat—and when you ate it—in a weight-loss journal," she advises in Ladies Home Journal. "Now that you know what you're eating.”

5. She Does Little Workouts Throughout The Day

Menounos tells TooFab that she lives an active life. One way she is able to do this is by finding small ways to be active each day. “I find creative ways to squeeze in exercises during my daily living routine and I stay as active as I possibly can. I walk instead of drive. I opt for stairs instead of escalators. I also have an inexpensive pedometer that measures my daily steps. I strive to do 10,000 a day and whether I accomplish that or not, it's a reminder to try.”

María León wants it all. “My life is music, I am a pastry chef, dancer, actress and closet comedian. I want to see the world and have superpowers!” She looked super posing in a swimsuit on social media. “#esViernesYElCuerpoLoSabe,” she captioned it. (“It’s Friday and the body knows it.”) “CUERPAAAAAAAAAZOOOOOI 😍,” commented athlete Brenda Castro. How does she stay so fit?

1. This Year is About Balance

María said: “This year the priority is balance, it is paying attention to my mind, body and heart... be patient with the processes and with myself, give myself a chance, make mistakes and forgive myself as part of learning, learn something new, let go of what does not make me happy without lose sight of my goal or the direction of my dream… close my eyes without fear and trust… trust that not everything will happen as I want, but what happens in the end will be better than what I want, as it has always been . 🙏🏽💫

#Do not give up

#unwavering

#canifyouwant

#Love you”

2. She Dances

León once filmed herself dancing in her gym. She captioned it:

”#NoteToOneSelf 💫

When you feel a brake, release it

When you feel love, value it

When you feel lonely, learn to be with you.

When you feel sad… dance! ☺️

Always appreciate feeling, it makes you powerful”

3. She Pole Dances

“Today the training was for me ♥️ …,” she captioned herself pole dancing. “For a foundational class, a dance background is definitely not necessary, in fact even if you're somewhat ‘rhythmically challenged’ you can still experience great success, and most importantly have fun!,” says ACE Fitness when writing about a class. “If you're in the market for a fun way to be physically active while focusing on improving your coordination, balance, endurance, flexibility and strength, then pole fitness may be right up your alley.”

4. She Gets Inspired

María shared an image of her in the gym, saying she was inspired. “This week I have seen so many people who want to succeed, achieve their dreams, not stop, that I feel enormously inspired, I love seeing people move forward and win their own battles…,” she captioned it. “I love you, you inspire me... take something that lives in your heart as a banner of your path and you will never lack strength!”

5. She Does Yoga

María has done handstands, and has an incredible strong back. Careful out there; make sure you’re ready. “Higher risk yoga poses appear to include headstand, shoulder stand, lotus and half lotus (seated cross-legged position), forward bend, backward bend, and handstand.5 Beginners in particular should consider avoiding advanced postures such as headstand or lotus position. Particular attention must be paid to the spine, as this is where the highest number of injuries occur,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Maria Menounos, Noovie host and Better Together podcaster, is loving summer outdoors in her backyard, in a bathing suit, with new furniture. “Backyard transformation is here! BEFORE and AFTER 💥 My backyard reno reveal is here! Been working on this for sooooo long and it finally all came together. If you know anything about us Greeks-we don’t pay for anything we can do…so my dad was adamant he would build the beautiful decks in our ct backyard -he crushed it! Picked my dream furniture from @frontgate and voila…hard launch today. Will be dropping them all day. Starting with the chaises because they are my favorite!! No arms, super easy to move around and use..the double chaise even has a little tray that pulls out for your drinks! Got these cute little trees for decor and the pool chairs are THE BEST pool chairs I’ve found. Definitely and investment but they last forever and are perfect,” she said. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Gets Up

“If you’re a complete newbie when it comes to fitness, or if you have been away from exercise for a while and want to start again, there are a few things that you can do to get you moving in no time. The best way to get going is to get up! Move around the office, stretch, take a walk around the block, or go for a run at lunch time. If you’re interested in getting some exercise before bedtime too, there are plenty of ways to do so,” Maria wrote.

2. She Walks

“Walking is a great way to get moving. It’s easy, it doesn’t require any special equipment or a gym membership, and you can do it anywhere. Walking is also effective because it gets your body moving without requiring much effort on your part—you can take as many breaks as you need without feeling guilty about skipping out on exercise altogether,” wrote Maria. “You may have heard that walking boosts brain power and helps with memory retention, but that’s not all! Walking can help reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels—all things that are good for your overall health and well-being (and happiness!).”

3. She Visits the Doctor

“Pro-tip: try to schedule all of your appointments in the same month,” Maria wrote on an Instagram post. She knows what she’s talking about, as she once had brain tumor symptoms discovered by her doctor. “Get your dentist, gynecologist, skin check and any doctor’s appointments all done at once – this way you can always remember. October for example is when I handle the health biz. I try to set back-to-back appointments and knock out as many as I can at once. Try your best to have a rhythm so you never forget! It’s helped me! Good luck.”

4. Here’s Her Take on Success

“I realized what matters in life are the people that you positively affect and touch — the things that you do that are not about accolades, awards, or success. Success isn’t a closet of Chanel bags. It all doesn’t matter if you’re going to go, what matters is living while you can. Every time you can dance, someone else can’t. You have to remember that,” she has said, according to Girlboss.

5. Get a Hobby

“I never had hobbies and I never thought I had the time. Now I’ve gone the opposite way — it takes like six hours a week. Do we not have a couple of hours a week to devote to ourselves to be better and happier emotionally and spiritually? I took up guitar and I’ll go into a guitar session having had a very stressful family conversation and leave feeling so uplifted and happy. Whatever that is going to make you feel good — is it dance class? Is it SoulCycle or playing with puppies at the shelter? You need to figure out things that aren’t expensive and figure out how to access your happiness during stressful moments without cost,” she told Girlboss.

Health influencer Adriene Mishler is all about taking her fans and followers through fitness challenges, like her 30 day yoga journey. Mishler, 39, is sharing video and pictures every step of the way, including one of herself doing yoga poses in black pants and a comfy tan sweater, her beloved pup standing guard. “Get to day 8 in the journey. It’s one of the most important practices. 🌯 Thank you to my assistant for modeling presence and commitment. 🐺 And high five to all of you! (Start the 30 day journey today if you like - and get thee to day 8.),” she captioned the post. Here’s what Mishler’s diet, fitness, and wellness regimen looks like.

1. She’s a Yogi

Mishler is a devoted yogi, and loves to teach. “I cried tears of joy during my first yoga class and since then I’ve been obsessed with getting people to come and experience how good it feels to practice,” she told Women’s Health. “I want people to understand that you don’t have to be ‘good’ at yoga to feel the benefits of yoga – you just need to show up. The magic doesn’t happen when you ‘get’ a certain pose, either; it happens when you realize you’re in charge of your own happiness on your yoga mat.”

2. Walking and Strength Training

Mishler walks her dog every day and tries to get a run in. She also does regular weight training sessions. “I started resistance training because I wanted to become a better runner and to do something new where I wasn't the expert,” she told Women’s Health. “I pushed too hard at the start, but sessions with a trainer who specializes in mobility and strength training have helped me find balance. It’s been good for my mind to do something that I originally sucked at.”

3. Role Model Responsibility

Mishler takes her job as a teacher and influencer seriously. “Remembering that I am a role model helps me prioritize my health and wellness,” she told Camille Styles. “And before anyone goes rolling their eyes, I think it is important to remember that we are all role models! We model our approach to life for the young people in our lives, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our community at large. It’s a sweet realization to remember: you matter. In this season my life, keeping that affirmation at the forefront has helped me give more time on the calendar back to myself and my health. Without guilt, shame, or difficulty.”

4. Mostly Vegetarian

Mishler has changed her diet over the years but has always kept eggs on the menu. “I’m basically vegetarian but if I’m visiting somewhere by the coast I might order some fish,” she told Women’s Health. “However, lately, I’ve been learning more about the impact of fishing on the ocean and I’m questioning whether I should fully cut it out. I’ve had phases where I’ve been vegan – except for eggs. I couldn’t be without them. I make breakfast tacos a lot. My classic is egg, spinach, onion and garlic in a tortilla, which keeps me going into the afternoon.”

5. Men Doing Yoga

Mishler is thrilled more men are trying yoga. “When the big, Western, capitalistic wellness boom was happening, every time a man would show up at one of our events I’d be like, ‘Yes! Yes!’ It wasn’t that long ago that you were not seeing that even in classes,” she told GQ UK. “To see, in particular, men practicing with women just makes me smile. Because what a great toolset for us to share as people. At-home yoga practice is great for all of us.”

Senada Greca is working out in Mexico in her swimsuit. The personal trainer and fitness influencer flaunts her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit in one of her latest workout videos, shot on the beach in Cabo San Lucas. “On a short work trip to Cabo, with no time to lounge, so why not combine a bit of sun and with some of my favorite exercises. Beach workouts are a must try. The simplest of movements will challenge you in a new way. Give it a try,” she captioned the video. “Train with me.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Senada Greca 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 Encourages Movement and Trying Out New Workouts

Senada is a “sincere believer that fitness and movement should be an inseparable part of someone’s life,” she explained to Glamour South Africa. “We were born to be active, born to be mobile. She encourages “people to make movement fun and interesting, and in turn sustainable. All someone needs to do is take a digital stroll through my Instagram to see loads of novelty and get excited to try out new effective exercises.” She explains that doint the same workout daily is what makes “people fall off the proverbial wagon” and that they instead should “constantly seek growth,” she continues. “This means doing things like trying new movements that push us out of our comfort zone, finding a new recipe that is not typical to what we normally eat, and changing our routine.”

2. She Does Yoga and Meditates

“I believe in a holistic approach to fitness as we are more than a mechanically moving body. Our minds and souls need as much caring as our bodies. I have found that caring for our body in a mindful way, cares for our mind and soul as well. Allowing ourselves to listen to our body’s signals, moving mindfully, not only can be a great tool in injury prevention, but also maximizing our physical and mental performance,” Senada told Women’s Best. “I incorporate Yoga in my routine not only as a means to help with my balance and mobility, which in turn help with my physical fitness, but also as a time to quiet my mind and turn my attention inward.” She is also a fan of getting her zen on. “Meditation is that other component that we rarely think of or make time for, but even a few minutes, as little as 5 minutes of meditation a day, can have a huge positive impact on our psyche and in turn our body as well. If we’re in a great mental and spiritual space, we’re able to perform better in all aspects of life.”

3. She Breaks Up Workouts By Body Part

Senada breaks up her workouts by body part. “I like to focus on legs 2-3 days per week, on upper body 2 days, and 1 full body workout per week. Sunday I work abs and throw in some fun active-rest work, like bicycling or a long walk,” she told Glamour.

4. She Is a “Flexible Eater”

Senada describes herself as a “flexible eater” to Glamour. “My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track. I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

5. She Stresses the Importance of Proper Form

“I am always mindful of proper form. Never NOT think about form during a workout,” Senada told Glamour. “Whether the exercise has started or you are setting yourself up for the exercise, always remember proper form.”

6. She Is Accoutnable

Senada maintains that accountability is key. “That little voice in my head that says things like ‘you’re going to regret it if you don’t get to the gym’”, she told Glamour. “I know where I have been mentally and physically when fitness wasn’t a part of my life, so wanting to keep the monsters of anxiety and depression away keeps me motivated and accountable.I know for many, self-talk is an inhibitor, but for me it is the most persuasive and consistent accountability partner I could ever have. One just needs to change that self talk into being positive and encouraging.”
