Meagan Good is dressed to sweat and showing off her flawless figure. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her washboard abs in a matching crop top and leggings as she heads into a workout session. “Sᴜɴᴅᴀʏ‘ȥ ..☕️ 🏃🏾♀️,” she captioned the series of Instagram photos. “Daaaamn she fine! 😍 you are Pure Love & Inspiration,” one of her followers commented. “You look incredible seester,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


She Works Out 3 to 4 Hours Per Week

Meagan invests a good amount of time in her body every week. “I work with my trainer Augustina about four to five times a week for 45 minutes a day,” she told Black Doctor. “We start out on the treadmill and then we do a lot of exercises using my own body weight. My favorite workouts are anything having to do with making my waistline trimmer and toned. My least favorite is any type of pushup! Everybody wants lightning in a bottle, and while healthy things in a bottle do help, you have to do the work to get the results you really want.”

She Pays Attention to Protein Intake and Portion Sizes

When it comes to diet, the star puts her focus on consuming enough protein and keeping her portions in check. “I try to eat healthy. In the morning, I have a protein shake. In the afternoon I eat mostly whatever I want, I just try to modify it to a healthier choice and a smaller portion—since I still have time to be active if I’m a little bad. In the evening, I stick to baked chicken and veggies,” she dished to Black Doctor. “I think some of the best ways to stay healthy when you have a busy life and career are protein shakes, lots of…… vitamins.”

She Prioritizes Hydration

In addition to rest and beauty products, “water” is one of Meagan’s top “beauty secrets,” she told Black Doctor. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Believes in God

Meagan keeps herself grounded with religion. “Before I go to the gym, I read my Bible, say some affirmations, and listen to some gospel music or something that will help get me in a positive zone to set my intention for the day. The routine starts even before I hit the gym because if I'm already in the right frame of mind, topping it off with a workout makes me feel unstoppable,” she told Byrdie.

And, She Indulges in Self-Care

“I just turned 40, and I've been in many amazing transitions mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I've been valuing time with myself, whether that's journaling, praying, reading, or going to the gym, but it doesn't have to be the same every day. The beauty of caring for yourself is finding freedom. It's your day, and you can do what you want to do to feel present. Sometimes I stay in and cook; other times, I order takeout. I might binge-watch a TV show on a self-care day,” she told Byrdie.

Grace Beverley is exercising – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece workout set in a mirror selfie. “Spot the girl obsessed with her own business,” she captioned the Instagram Stories image. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Breakfast

Grace starts the day with a big breakfast. “I’m not a huge breakfast person in the week, but at the weekends my go-to has been the same for over a decade now: creamy mushrooms on toast,” she told Women’s Health. “My fiancé uses the Oatly cream to make it for us every weekend and it’s definitely one of the reasons I’m marrying him! It’s just the ultimate weekend “breakfast and it feels like such a treat without spiking my blood sugar too much.”

Coffee

Grace is a coffee drinker. “My go-to coffee order is an iced oat latte. Although I’m trying to cut down and now have a strict ‘no coffee after 12pm’ rule that I make the team hold me accountable to when I don’t have the willpower,” she said.

Greens Powder

“I used to take a whole load of supplements but I got fed up with spending so much each month and taking so many pills. That’s why I turned to the Shreddy team with the idea of developing a greens powder that did the job of all my supplements in one. I remember in that first meeting we thought it might not be possible, but a year (and 30 samples) later one glass of Shreddy Supergreens contains 100% NRV of my daily vitamins, pre & pro-biotics and all the vitamins and minerals I was already taking for hair and skin growth. As someone who’s all about efficiency, it’s my dream multi-tasking supplement. I drink it in the afternoon instead of my coffee and it really helps me avoid that mid-afternoon crash I always used to get,” Grace told Women’s Health.

Sleep

Grace prioritizes her sleep. “I wear an Oura ring to track my sleep, so I know how far to push myself on a particular day as my schedule is usually pretty back-to-back. It usually knows when I’m getting run down before I do,” she told Women’s Health. “I try my absolute best to get 8 hours of sleep a night, after years of trying to push it, I now know that 8 hours is what I need to be good at my job and maintain my schedule across a week. When heading to bed, I make sure to read at least 10 pages of a fiction book. I find it really helps me to separate my brain from work mode and improves the quality of my sleep as a whole.”

HIIT Workouts

Grace sticks to short but effective workouts.”When I moved to London, I struggled to fit everything in and barely worked out at all. It sounds like a scammy email, but the ‘simple trick’ that changed my life was switching to just 10 or 20-minute workouts – it’s great for my mental health and fitness, but short enough that I never get bored,” she told Women’s Health. “That’s what inspired me to create the Shreddy 102 and Shreddy 202 HIIT guides. I now do one of those workouts four days a week, as well as two weight- lifting sessions – I’m lucky enough to have a home gym.”

She shared a new photo on her Instagram recently. In it, she wore black clothes on a balcony. She captioned the post, “Aloha.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Meagan Good stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works With A Trainer

Good shared her fitness secrets with Essence. “I work with my trainer Augustina, about four to five times a week for 45 minutes a day. We start out on the treadmill and then we do a lot of exercises using my own body weight. My favorite workouts are anything having to do with making my waistline trimmer and toned. My least favorite is any type of pushup!”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Meagan Goode.3Meagan Good/Instagram

Good shared her skincare secrets with BlackDoctor.org. "My best beauty secrets are rest, water, moisturizer, and a really great eye cream. Also, an antioxidant for when you travel, so that the elements that get in the plane don’t suck the moisture from your face. Let me reiterate rest. No matter how much good food you eat or exercise you do, sometimes you just need to take time, breathe, and rest. There's nothing like it to help recharge your batteries.”

3. She Eats Healthy

Good shared her diet secrets with BlackDoctor.org. “I try to eat healthy. In the morning, I have a protein shake. In the afternoon I eat mostly whatever I want, I just try to modify it to a healthier choice and a smaller portion—since I still have time to be active if I’m a little bad. In the evening, I stick to baked chicken and veggies.”

4. She’s Conistsent

Good makes sure to be consistent with her wellness. “I think some of the best ways to stay healthy when you have a busy life and career are protein shakes, lots of vitamins, and not deprive yourself,” she told BlackDoctor.org. “Also, modifying your eating habits to a healthier version of what you want. And always find some time to be a little bit active, even if it's just walking.”

5. She Uses Bath Gloves

Good shared some of her favorite products with BlackDoctor.org. "I use bath gloves in the shower every day. People often comment on my skin and I just tell them that I use bath gloves. Another thing I love is creme liner because I have lash extensions and sometimes the liquid liner can get into the lashes. It's also easier to guide. I can create straighter lines with it.”

1. She Screens For Cancer

In an interview with Essence, Good revealed that she recently suffered a health scare. Good was told that tissue found in her uterus could turn into cancer. “Both of my grandmothers died from cancer, and my grandfather died from cancer, [and] my aunt just had a mastectomy,” she said. “It just was terrifying to think, this is how it happens. One second you’re fine, the next second you’re hearing things like this and you don’t know what’s going to happen.” Good is now encouraging others to get checked out regularly. “Having routine checkups, whether you think there could be something wrong or you don’t think anything’s wrong at all, is the only way to really spot these things and to know the difference,” she says.

2. She Strength Trains

Good posts a lot of workout videos on her Instagram, letting her followers know how she stays in shape. One type of workout that she likes to do is strength training exercises. Good posted this video on Instagram of herself doing different exercises, including TRX-inspired pull-ups, lateral pulldowns, and shoulder presses. She captioned the video, “Your goals don’t care if you’re tired. Let’s go!”

3. She Combines Cardio And Leg Exercises

Good likes to do cardio and leg workouts to help her stay in shape. Sometimes both at the same time. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing lunges while on the treadmill. She captioned the video, “Happy Sunday kids!”

4. She Makes Wellness A Priority

For Good, she makes wellness and taking care of herself a main priority each day. She says that she likes to start this process almost ten years ago, and likes to start first thing in the morning. “I started to realize in my early 30s that I needed to make sure I was taking care of myself and setting my intention for every day, for my mental health and my well-being,” she tells SELF.

5. She Uses Simple Products On Her Skin And Body

Good has incredible skin, and she broke down her skincare routine to SELF. She says that she’s careful which products she uses on her skin each day, and likes to use ones that have simple ingredients. “I’m pretty basic on the body washes because for some reason, when I use body wash that has moisturizer in it, I don’t feel as if I’ve really gotten ‘the day’ off. I use Dial soap, and then I’ll use exfoliating hand gloves. I’m obsessed with them. Then I’ll wash my face. I’ll either use the tea tree oil cleanser from Trader Joe’s, or I’ll use Cetaphil, because Cetaphil doesn’t really have a lot of stuff in it. It’s tried-and-true, and every dermatologist will say that it’s one of the best things you can use that won’t strip your skin.”

“My body builds muscle very quickly and I don’t love the way it looks on my body. So I find the way that I achieve the body that I want for myself is to lengthen, to lean and to tone,” she told Parade. This is why she mixes in Pilates, Soul Cycle, and hot yoga into her strength and weight training regiment.

3. Some Days She Doubles Up

Vanessa often does two workouts in a day. However, she won’t do the same workout both times. “Some days when I have the time, I love doing Pilates first and then going over to Soul Cycle. I love a double up!” she told Parade. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up.”

4. She’s Into the (Workout) Buddy System

Vanessa is all about the buddy system when it comes to exercise. "I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa told PopSugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself." She often shares videos of herself exercising will pals, and always looks like she is having a blast.

5. She Is a Morning (Workout) Person

Vanessa is all about daily workouts, first thing in the morning. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

6. She Plans Ahead

Instead of waiting until the last minute, Vanessa commits to working out ahead of time. “I normally sign up for a class the night before so I don’t even have time to think about it and just wake up to having to go to workout,” she told Parade. “If I don’t do it first thing in the morning it normally does not happen.”

7. She Has Worked Out on an Empty Stomach

"I work out on an empty stomach usually," she revealed to Parade. "I kind of to go between intermittent fasting and Keto and so it's normally just black coffee and a lot of water first thing in the AM." "If you exercise in the morning, get up early enough to finish breakfast at least one hour before your workout. Be well-fueled going into a workout. Studies suggest eating or drinking carbohydrates before exercise can improve workout performance and may allow you to work out for a longer duration or higher intensity. If you don't eat, you might feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise," says the Mayo Clinic.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

Jennifer Aniston Swears by These 7 Habits to Stay Fit at 55

Here is everything you need to know about her approach to longevity

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention.

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" 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.

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
