Mary Bedford is steaming up the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand – with her amazing body. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty flaunts her impressive physique in a bikini as she lounges poolside at a luxe resort. “Exploring 🏝️🗺️🔭🌊,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Gorgeous,” commented one of her followers. “Wow wow wow,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


Daily Strength Training

In an Instagram Story, Mary revealed that she hits the gym for strength training almost every day. “5/5 gym days done this week and my legs are like jelly walking out,” she wrote. 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

MyFitness Pal

Mary is all about staying accountable when it comes to her diet. She detailed her approach in a video on her YouTube channel, explaining that she logs all of the food she eats in a day and her workouts with the help of apps. "I do use MyFitness Pal to track all my food," she says. "Then it's just easy. I can work out."

No Carb or Fat Tracking

Mary keeps track of calories and proteins but avoids tracking other things. "I'm not tracking my carbs or my fats really at the minute," she revealed in her YouTube video. "Before I used to be really strict about it, and I'd just be tired all the time."

Coffee

Mary is a coffee lover. “I like coffee more than most people,” she revealed on Instagram. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “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.

Workout Buddies

One way Mary keeps herself accountable at the gym? Workout buddies. In another YouTube video, Bedford explains why sweat sessions with pals can be very effective. "She pushes me hard," Bedford says.

Mary Bedford, the influencer and Love Island star, doesn’t just wear pink on Wednesdays. She’s also not afraid to post swimsuit photos on her social media. One of her most recent Instagram photos is a perfect example of both things. In it, Bedford posed in a pink one piece swimsuit with cutouts, showing off her figure. Bedford captioned the post, “On Thursdays we wear pink too.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mary Bedford 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’s Admitted To Having Plastic Surgery

Bedford is open about the fact that she’s had work done. She tells Closer Online that she doesn’t think this is a bad thing to admit. "It’s not something to be ashamed of, so many people have it done. It doesn’t have to be a big secret, it was the best decision I ever made, it brought my confidence in bikinis up, in everything really.” "Anticipate improvement, not perfection. If you expect cosmetic surgery to turn you into a movie star, you're bound to be disappointed. Don't count on surgery to save a rocky relationship, gain a promotion or improve your social life," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Got Her Work Done Healthily

Bedford encourages her followers to get work done, if it will make them feel better. She also encouraged her followers to get safe work done. She tells Closer Online, "My two insecurities were my" chest "and my teeth and I saved up and did my research." "If you decide to pursue cosmetic surgery, you'll probably have your choice of surgeons. Choose one who specializes in the procedure you'd like to have done and is certified in the specialty by a board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Beware of misleading certifications from unrecognized or self-designated boards," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Uses Meal Preps

In this video from her YouTube channel, Bedford broke down her daily secrets, and revealed some of her diet and wellness secrets. She says that she likes to use meal preps to help her eat healthy. “It’s just so much easier for someone like me,” she explains. “I’m not a good cook. I get like two meals a day.” Bedford says this helps with her busy schedule, and helps her not skip meals.

4. She Tracks Her Food

In this YouTube video, Bedford broke down what she typically eats each day. She also revealed some of her diet secrets. One thing she likes to do is track what she eats. “I also do use MyFitnessPal to track all my foods because it’s just easy,” she says. When using a tracker: "

  • "Use the tracker to get a baseline of your daily movement and then set a goal 2,000-3,000 steps higher.
  • Use it as a motivational tool to encourage movement and as a historical record. If you have a bad day, you can look back and see that it was only one day among many good days. This perspective may keep you from falling off the wagon because of 'all or nothing' thinking.
  • Use the information from the tracker as a guide but not as permission to throw dietary discretion out the window," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Goes To The Beach and Pool

Bedford is always breaking out her swimsuits. She is a big fan of either going to the beach or the pool, and has posted several photos of herself doing so on Instagram. She posted this photo of herself poolside with the caption, “Quick dip.” She also posted this photo of herself at the beach, captioning it, “Another pic I was never gonna post but here we are.”

2. She Tries to Work Out Every Day

In one of her latest Instagram Stories, Mary reveals that she has gone to the gym every day this week. “5/5 gym days done this week and my legs are like jelly walking out,” she captioned it. While you don’t need to exercise daily, every 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

In her YouTube video, Mary revealed that while she keeps track of calories and proteins, she avoids tracking other things. "I'm not tracking my carbs or my fats really at the minute," she says. "Before I used to be really strict about it, and I'd just be tired all the time."

4. She Drinks Coffee

In several of Mary’s Instagram snap, you can find her drinking a cup of Joe. “I like coffee more than most people,” she revealed in one of the posts. Science continues to prove that drinking coffee is great for your health. In fact, a new 2022 study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.

5. She Uses Workout Buddies

In another YouTube video, Bedford explains why having a workout buddy is so important. "She pushes me hard," Bedford says. "How do you find the right fit? Talk to friends, co-workers, neighbors, people at the gym. Or find a buddy closer to home: What about a hike with your dog, who thinks every walk is the best walk ever? Now quality time is also fitness time. Good move! You could also try a workout app to connect with friends and others that share your goals and can help keep you motivated," says the CDC.

Demi Moore is in a swimsuit, one of her own! "A little fun for the sun, coming soon ❤️ I’ve been working on something special with @AndieSwim and can’t wait to share it with the world!," she captioned a new photo. The 59-year-old icon looks a lot like she did back when she shot to fame, and she works hard to keep in shape. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Demi Moore 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 Doesn’t Obsess Over Her Body

While Moore has an incredible figure, she didn’t always think that way about herself. In her revealing 2019 memoir, Inside Out, Moore admitted that she used to obsess over her weight and her body. She says that this would happen a lot when she was preparing for a role. “It was my job to fit into that unforgiving military uniform I'd be wearing in two months in A Few Good Men,” Moore wrote. “I couldn’t stop exercising...I would be on display again, and all I could think about was my body, my body, my body...I doubled down on my already over-the-top exercise routine. I cut out carbs, I ran and I biked and I worked out on every machine imaginable.” Moore says that she stopped having this mindset when preparing for her iconic role in G.I. Jane. “When I got home to Idaho, I had an epiphany in the shower one day: I just need to be my natural size.”

2. She Embraces Her Body

After Moore stopped obsessing over her weight and figure, she then worked to develop a sense of body positivity. “I have had a love-hate relationship with my body,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I sit today in a place of greater acceptance of my body. And that includes not just my weight, but all of the things that come with your changing body.” Moore says that she welcomes any changes her body may go through.

3. She Focuses On Toning

Moore’s go-to exercises are all about toning and preserving her body. Moore’s trainer, Gregory Joujon-Roche told OneBodyOneLife.com, that Moore enjoys doing exercises like ab and bicep curls to tone certain areas. “She wants to preserve her arms, stomach, lower body,” he says.

4. She Loves To Get Outside

One look at Moore’s Instagram, and you notice that she loves to get outside and get her Vitamin D. Moore is often seen traveling and going to the beach, and even slips on a bikini once in a while. Moore posted a video over the summer of her boating in Greece, with the caption “Santorini sunsets.”

5. She Meditates

Moore wrote in her autobiography that she is a fan of meditation, and that it has helped her deal with her body image issues. “I added into my daily prayer a new mantra: to have the courage to be seen without padding or protection. I couldn’t go on fighting my body and my weight; I had to make peace,” she said. “I started by giving up hard exercise. I never went back into the gym in the house. Never. … The room it occupied is now my office.”

1. She Loves to Be Outdoors

“I’m very happy that the world is opening up a little bit. I’m grateful to see my family more now; it always makes me happy and fills my heart with unconditional love. I’m also very excited to see my friends again and spend some quality time with everyone when we can travel safely,” she said of life a few years into the pandemic, to The Thirty. “Of course, it's been great to spend time ‘off the grid’ in a way, too. Over the past year and through the process of building a house in a remote part of the country, I've realized that being outdoors is great for my mental health. Now, I try to go outside more, go on a hike, work out, do my self-care routines as regularly as possible.”

2. This is What She Looks For in Beauty Products

“I like products that include charcoal for its ability to draw out toxins and remove impurities. I look for it in face masks and toothpaste, where it's used for its brightening effect. Also, in case you didn’t know, Dahlia Tequila is filtered through activated charcoal,” she told The Thirty.

3. She Works Out Daily

“Being a Victoria’s Secret model is not just work, it becomes your lifestyle,” the Hungarian model told Us. “So even before I became an Angel, I started to get a routine into my life, working out every day or four times a week and eating in a certain way that works for my body. I’m just doing that.”

4. She Worked Out With an Angel

“I did work out with Alexina [Graham] for awhile because we are really good friends,” she told Us. “It was actually funny that we both got the Angel contract now. We’ve been knowing each other for awhile so I would work out with her.” She added she’d say: “Like, ‘Hey dude, don’t be lazy!’” says Palvin. “Actually, we both wanted [to be Victoria’s Secret models] for so long and when she started to work with VS three years ago, I was like just wait for me, I’m coming, I’ll be there soon. So it’s kinda like, now we’re here, now we have to show the world.”

5. She Says “Listen to Your Body”

"This is me," Barbara captioned one photo. "It took me a while to understand what people meant by 'listen to your body' — it’s not always easy feeling good in our own skin and it takes time, trust me,” she told Sports Illustrated. "I'm still learning," she continued. "Over the past year I've discovered so much about my body, how it can change and evolve. One thing is for sure — only you know what’s best for you."

Simone Ashley is enjoying her lakeside vacation. The Bridgerton star is spending the start of her summer outdoors by the water. “Exploring,” she captioned her latest Instagram post, showing off her fabulous figure in a yellow swimsuit. How does the young actress maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 6 ways Simone Ashley 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 Doesn’t Live in Fear

“I'd like to think that I'm not a very fearful person,” Ashley recently told Glamour. “We’re in an industry that, yes, as an artist you can feel certain pressures at times, but we're not performing heart surgery or curing diseases or having lives dependent on us. That's real pressure. When I put that into perspective, I'm like, ‘It's fine.’”

2. She Hikes

Ashley likes to get her sweat on al fresco. “I'm a big nature person,” she told Conde Nast Traveller. One method she adores? “I love hikes, going to the beach, eating really good food. For me, a perfect vacation would be exhausting myself playing in the sand, swimming, hiking, exploring, and then treating myself to an absolutely massive meal and some really nice wine with friends and good music. I'm trying to be a bit more cultured and push myself to do more city-searching and going to exhibitions and all of that. But at heart, I'm a big explorer,” she said.

3. She Kickboxes

Ashley likes to get her fight on. She revealed to Glamour that she spent her downtime during filming "hanging with her dog, watching old episodes of Friends, going on hikes. She learned kickboxing, ate healthy, and even managed to get some reading done."

4. She Rides Horses

Ashley also rides horses. She told Glamour UK that she has improved since Bridgerton. ‘I’m quite natural and I’m quite sporty anyway,’ she said. “At the start, I was in the saddle every other day, pretty much for one to one and a half hours a day. I loved it.” She added that it also helps her mental health.

5. She Drinks Green Juice

In one of her Instagram videos, Simone chugs green juice out of a large pitcher. "Consider blending instead of juicing. Blending the edible parts of fruits and vegetables produces a drink that contains more healthy phytonutrients and fiber. Fiber can help you feel full," says the Mayo Clinic. "If you try juicing, make only as much juice as you can drink at once; harmful bacteria can grow quickly in freshly squeezed juice. If you buy commercially produced fresh juice, select a pasteurized product."

6. She Loves Fish

Salmon is Ashley’s go-to food for energy, especially prior to shooting. “On my first day, I was like, “OK, first day as a leading lady, got to eat lots of food, be really energized. So, I had this massive portion of salmon and that’s when I needed to be sick, basically because I was wearing the corset,” she told Glamour UK. “I realized when you wear the corset, you just don’t eat. It changes your body. I had a smaller waist very momentarily. Then the minute you stop wearing it, you’re just back to how your body is. I had a lot of pain with the corset, too, I think I tore my shoulder at one point!”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. 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.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even 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 or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming. From her plant-based diet to her dedication to animal welfare, Romani’s habits reflect a balanced approach to wellness that keeps her looking and feeling her best. Here are the five key ways Claudia Romani stays in shape while living life to the fullest.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

A vegan food that Romani enjoys is salad. She shared this Instagram story of herself enjoying a vegan cobb salad. Bupa states that salad is very beneficial. “Salads can contain several foods which are prebiotics. These are foods which act as fuel for healthy bacteria. It also provides a type of indigestible fibre, which can be beneficial for your gut health. Foods to consider including in your salad can be onions, garlic, kale, carrots, and asparagus.”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none.

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
