1. She Does Cardio

Mary stresses the importance of getting your heartrate up. "My main exercise is cardio," she told Shape. "The treadmill is fine, but running outdoors gives me the best results. I try to log 6-8 miles a week. I could be in the worst mood, but when I do my cardio I feel much, much better." "As you begin a new workout routine that includes cardio activity, it may take a while for your body to adjust to the faster pace. But the more routine exercise becomes, the quicker your body pulls needed oxygen from your blood during workouts. Because of this, people who work out regularly have hearts that perform better under stress and are less winded during exercise activities. Regular cardio also allows your body to recover more quickly after exercise," says Edward-Elmhurst Health.

2. She Swims

Mary added swimming to her routine and it was a game changer. "At first it was very hard, but once I got in the water and figured out how to breathe, it was so liberating," she said. One "report found evidence that swimmers live longer, that regular swimming helps older people stay mentally and physically fit, and participation in swimming lessons can help children to develop physical, cognitive and social skills quicker."

3. She Does Weight Training

Mary has trained with Adam Ernster who told Self that she does a lot of strength training, especially when she is on the road. A few of her go-to exercises? Squats, rows, and push-ups. “I do a lot of weights—heavy lifting. It keeps everything firm,” she added to Health Magazine.

4. She Quit Drinking

"Others may be able to drink and have a great time, but it doesn't work for me at this point," she told Shape. "I haven't had a drink in a year and three months. I had quit for a long time but started again about five years ago. I'm off it completely once more, and now I feel stronger than ever."

5. She Drinks Green Juice and Eats Ice Cream

Mary is all about balancing healthy food with cheat meals. “I drink a green juice every day. I’ve been a vegetable eater since I was a kid,” she told health. Her favorite dessert? “Vanilla ice cream and Coke. Or a fudge cupcake.”

1. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

Demi's approach to life? "It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything. Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am," she told InStyle.

2. She Knows Things Change

“Things do change,” Demi told W Magazine not too long ago. “The biggest difference, I think, is that I’m not in nearly as good shape physically as I have been before, and I have skin going in a direction that I would prefer it not go. There are things that just come with getting older. But I think my big mantra for this year is about acceptance. I was reading this book that was written around 1919, if I am remembering correctly, and it was very of its day. It was discussing all the ‘female’ concerns. There were some horrific suggestions on how to take care of yourself, including putting some kind of acid on your skin. But there was one thing I took away, because I think it’s true—the author said not to frown because at a certain point it will stick. And what speaks to me here is that I do believe that when we hold upset, anger, hurt, pain or bitterness, it ages us and we wear it. That isn’t to say we are always going to feel happy. But it’s important not to hold on to things.”

3. She Was Once a Workout Obsessive

When getting ready for certain revealing scenes in movies, “I cut out carbs, I ran, and I biked, and I worked out on every machine imaginable. I didn’t feel like I could stop exercising,” she wrote in her book. “It was my job to fit into that unforgiving military uniform I’d be wearing in two months in A Few Good Men. Getting in shape for that movie launched the obsession with working out that would consume me over the next five years. I never dared let up.”

4. She’s Used the Mirror

Now Demi is more likely to use the Mirror, the workout device that is an actual mirror on your wall, with built-in videos that play on it. "15 min at level 1 that’s doable … right? I am stalling!" Demi wrote once in a post. "This is going to be my next jam. Okay, here I go, wish me luck."

5. She Loves Andie Swimwear

"Demi was an early investor," Andie's founder and CEO, Melanie Travis, told InStyle. "We've always talked about what would make sense to do together, and then back in December of 2020 — in anticipation of a successful vaccine rollout and then what would hopefully be a great summer of friends and family, being able to travel, and get together again, across the United States — we felt like this could be the perfect summer to do a campaign together."

Montag notably got a lot of plastic surgery done in the early 2010’s. She says that she did this due to body insecurities, and notably got a bunch of her procedures reversed. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she encouraged others to love themselves and get help. “If you’re having those kinds of thoughts and issues, it’s important to seek advice from those you love and professionals who want to help,” she said. “Figure out why you feel that way and what’s behind it.”

2. She’s Healed

In an interview with Paper Magazine, Montag talked about what she took from her experience with plastic surgery. "A lot of positive things came out of that. I had to look at myself in the mirror every day healing, and be like, 'What did I do to myself? How did I get here? What is going on?' I basically had to hit that rock-bottom moment in my life, to realize what was important to me."

3. She Has A Work-Life Balance

After having her first child in 2018, and returning to The Hills in 2019, Montag tried to find a balance between both. “That's my number one priority now, and I don't want to compromise time with my son,” she told Paper Magazine. “So I definitely try to balance. It's different this time around, though. There's a different production company involved, and I think MTV is in an exciting new place. So it's gonna be a similar Hills that everyone loved, but a different show; we're all wiser now.”

4. She Wants To Spread Positivity

In an interview with Paper Magazine, Montag revealed that she is working on new music. She says that she wants her new music to have a positive message. “It's just one song, but I want to do something good and send out a positive message to the world. I'm in such a different place right now, so you'll see. I'm open to all music. I don't want to corner myself into one thing, because I really love all types of music.”

5. She Warned Others About Plastic Surgery

Montag tells Cosmopolitan that she wants people who are considering getting plastic surgery done to do their research and think about it. “Everyone always shows you the before and after pics. They don’t show you how devastating the recovery is. I don’t regret a lot of my enhancement, but plastic surgery isn’t something that should be glorified. Take it seriously.”

2. She’s Aware

Brownlee tells The Cut that she has learned to watch what she publicly does, since a lot of people are watching her. “Sometimes, I just don’t give a [expletive]. But then a lot of times, I don’t even want to deal with it. I don’t want to have to clear nothing up or say, Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. So now I’m just more chill, calm, collected, and very aware of my surroundings. When you’re a public figure, you gotta move a certain way.”

3. She Supports Black-Owned Businesses

The City Girls recently announced a partnership with the skincare line, Cota Girl. In an interview, they revealed that they sought out the partnership because they wanted to support black-owned businesses. “I know for Black women, it’s hard for us to get products that really work on our skin,” Brownlee explained. “So, when I saw that the product was created and owned by a Black woman I said, ‘Let me try it out.’”

4. Her Advice on Finding a Good Partner

“I think that you just gotta be yourself, because people, they gravitate towards real,” she explained. “So many people try to be something they not. You just gotta be yourself. I’m just myself," she told Billboard in November.

5. She Works Hard

“People always saying I don’t deserve stuff. Why don’t I deserve anything?” she asked. “I work hard. I deserve everything. When I just did my first live podcast, it was around the corner. It’s new. We’re in a new time. We’re in a new generation. I’m bringing something new, so why I don’t deserve it?” she told the Breakfast Club.

Mary Bedford is known for a lot of things. She appeared on Love Island. She has her own podcast, The Blonde Diaries. And she’s a YouTuber. Bedford celebrated her 24th birthday this week. She made sure to share some gorgeous photos on Instagram. In them, she enjoyed a day in the sun, and a night out. She captioned the post, “24.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mary Bedford stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Got Support

In an episode of her podcast, Bedford opened up about what it was like coming home after Love Island and having her grandmother die. She says that she struggled with the emotions, and turned to fellow contestant, Ellie Brown, for support. “Coming off, there was the added pressures of Love Island, then the pressure of everything at home, so I went into a really dark place. Like, December, January, I was really sad. Nobody knew this, this weren’t in the press, this has never even been spoken about. My family knew, my friends knew, and that was it. So, coming off the show, at first I did regret it. I was like, ‘What have I done?’ Another thing was, if I hadn’t gone on the show I would have gotten to say goodbye. So many things were going through my head, I was like, ‘What have I done? I’ve ruined my own life. I weren’t there to say goodbye to my grandma’. It was a really difficult thing to deal with, but then come February, I met Ellie and Ellie was like, ‘I went through the same thing a few years ago’ and you start realising it’s normal.

2. She’s Grateful

In her podcast, Bedford revealed that she has new-found gratitude for her time on Love Island. "I wouldn't even go to the shop. Not saying I'm this massive famous person, but I was struggling. But I've gone on to have literally the best year of my life. We've had an absolute ball. Now I can really look back on the show and say 'thank you for doing that' and I don't regret it. It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me and my family."

3. She Eats Healthy

In this video on her YouTube channel, Bedford opened up about her diet and what she eats each day. She says that she makes sure to eat healthy, and has some secrets for doing so. One of them is tracking her food each day. “I do use MyFitness Pal to track all my food. Then it’s just easy. I can work out.”

4. She Swims

Bedford spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is swim. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. Bedford shared this photo of herself walking in the ocean. She captioned the post, “Beachy.” She also shared this photo of herself in the pool, captioning it, “Takin a dip.”

5. She Skis

Bedford recently learned how to ski. She took a trip to the mountains in Meribel earlier this year, and shared highlights on Instagram. In this set of photos, she is seen on the slopes with her friends. Bedford captioned the post, “All the gear & no idea.” Skiing has a lot of benefits. The Canadian Ski Council States, “It’s well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more. Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”
