Megan Fox is getting in touch with nature via a photo shoot that highlights her feline physique to perfection. Fox, 37, shared pictures of herself posing on a tree branch in a green bikini, against a background of lush green leaves. “The forest is my oldest friend,” she captioned the post. “If this is what a wild animal looks like, I'd let it maul me,” commented partner Machine Gun Kelly. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Fox stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. Cardio, Weights, and No Carbs

Fox works hard to stay in shape—and she dodges ultraprocessed carbs. "I exercise really hard twice a week,” she says. “I got my [butt] kicked this morning before I came here! I do bursts of cardio with really heavy weights. Circuit training. I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day… I don't have any cheat days. But if I did, it would be pizza or cake."

2. Pregnancy Exercise

Fox’s trainer Harley Pasternak says she continued working out throughout her pregnancies, starting with her son Noah in 2012. “We worked out throughout her entire pregnancy,” Pasternak says. “She was a model of health through the whole process. She really educated herself big time and had a great relationship with her physician so she really understood the safe boundaries of how to exercise and eat well during pregnancy. As a result, she knew how active she could be and she was very consistent and didn’t overdo it.”

3. Postpartum Workouts

Fox bounced back quickly postpartum thanks to a series of sensibly-designed workouts. “We used the exact same exercises as we did pre-baby,” Pasternak says. “We just focused more on the process and adjusted our program to suit her specific needs and limitations. The workouts we did are like all of my other Five Factor workouts. They are five phases: a minimum five minute cardio warm-up, a lower body sculpting exercise, an upper body toning exercise, then an abdominal sculpting exercise, and finally, a five minute cool down. We tried to have her do minimal impact. Post-baby there shouldn’t be a lot of jumping up and down.”

4. Healthy Smoothies

Pasternak says Fox loves making smoothies at home with seasonal berries, protein powder, and almond milk. "With almond milk being one of the more popular milk alternatives, I'm asked whether almond milk is a good source of calcium quite often," says Amanda Beaver, wellness dietitian at Houston Methodist. "Some organic brands aren't fortified with it, so be sure to check the label and get your calcium through other foods if needed. Better yet, be sure to choose an almond milk brand that is fortified with calcium."

5. Journey of Loving Herself

She might have an incredible, envy-inspiring figure, but Fox says she has suffered from body dysmorphia her whole life. “I have body dysmorphia,” she says. “I don't see myself the way other people see me. There was never a point in my life where I loved my body. There was never ever. When I was little, that was an obsession I had of ‘but I should look this way,’ and why I had an awareness of my body that young, I'm not sure. And it definitely wasn't environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren't even like, acknowledged. The journey of loving myself is going to be never-ending, I think.”

Congratulations are in order for Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, aka Colson Baker. The duo got engaged in Puerto Rico on Wednesday, with Fox showing off her svelte figure in a swimsuit top as the musician got down on his knees and proposed with a diamond and emerald ring. "In July of 2020 we sat under this banyan tree," she captioned the engagement. "We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time. Unaware of the work and sacrifices the relationship would require from us but intoxicated off of the love. And the karma. Somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes.…and then we drank each other’s blood." How does the 35-year-old mother-of-three keep herself in such amazing physical form? Read on to see 5 ways Megan Fox 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 Works Out with a Trainer

Megan has trained with Harley Pasternak, who is responsible for some of the hottest bodies in Hollywood. “After my second baby, I noticed that losing weight was much more difficult this time despite working out and counting calories,” she wrote in a testimonial on his website. She uses the health guru’s 5 Factor plan, utilized by Jessica Simpson and Ariana Grande, to get into the best shape of her life. “Once I implemented the other three missing principles into my daily routine, I noticed an immediate result. I lost the remaining weight and felt leaner than I had prior to my first pregnancy.”

2. She Is Disciplined

Megan eats healthy all the time — no cheating. "I don't have splurge foods. I either do something or I don't do it at all, and I'm doing this right now, so I have no cheat days,” she told E! “But if I was going to cheat, I would probably go with pizza or cake."

3. She Doesn’t Eat Processed Foods

Fox completely dismissed white flour and sugar from her diet. "I cut out all sorts of breads and those sorts of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips, anything unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee once a day," she revealed to E!

4. She Fuels Up on Smoothies

Megan drinks smoothies. "Megan's favorite is the red smoothie, which is whatever berries are in season, Chai tea, a scoop of protein powder and little bit of almond milk," Pasternak told People.

5. She Does Twice-a-Week Circuit Training

Megan only works out a few times a week, but makes her sweat sessions count. "I exercise really hard twice a week. That's what I do," she told E! "I do bursts of cardio with really heavy weights…circuit training." Pasternak added to People that there are five phases to her workout, “a minimum five-minute cardio warm-up, a lower body sculpting exercise, an upper body toning exercise, then an abdominal sculpting exercise, and finally, a five minute cool down.”

“I came into the world really bright and sunny and happy,” Fox recently told the CR Fashion Book as part of their upcoming “CR PARADE” issue. “However, at a certain point, I went through some trauma in childhood and I developed a pretty severe eating disorder and manic depression, which runs in my family, so there was definitely some wrestling with chemical imbalance going on,” she shared. Now? “I’ve been in this moment that has been very proactive and rewarding both emotionally and spiritually. I’m really happy with this moment,” she said.

2. Camila Cabello Heals

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Cabello helped launch the Healing Justice Project, which distributed money to good causes. "As I learned more about other people's experiences in the world, I was like, 'How do I help the people who are on the frontlines of dismantling systems that create oppression? And how do I bridge that with my own personal journey with mental health and healing?'" Cabello, who has had anxiety, told People.

3. Madonna Made a Surprise Appearance

Madonna has sworn by a macrobiotic diet in the past. “It's true plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains, are packed with nutrition. And research has also shown that eating lots of them is linked with lower cancer rates,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Rita Ora is Disciplined

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Ora is incredibly disciplined when it comes to her diet. "I've been the girl on tour who eats when she can and goes along when the band wants to go out all the time. But you just can't keep that up," Rita told Shape. "With the plan I'm on, you can eat quite a bit as long as you exercise." She starts her day off with two boiled eggs, asparagus, and half a cup of muesli with almond milk. "For lunch, I have chicken or fish with vegetables, and for dinner, I have six to eight ounces of fish with vegetables and half a potato. Plus snacks," she revealed. One thing she doesn't eat? Bread or sugar. "But I'm not starving myself. I used to be like, 'I'm not eating!' Eating isn't the problem, though. It's about what your body needs, and everyone's body is different."

5. Madison Beer Likes a Hot Bath

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsTaylor Hill/FilmMagic

“My favorite way to wind down and end the day is with a hot bath. Today I’m using lavender essential oils and some Epsom salt to make for a really relaxing soak. I also usually light candles and listen to music to help myself unwind. Right now, I’m really into the new Tame Impala album, mixed with some classics like The Everly Brothers and The Beatles,” she told Refinery 29.

6. Ashanti Cut Out a Lot of Meat

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

“I cut out a lot of meat,” Ashanti told People. “I think again, self-health and self-awareness are so important. All of that stuff is so important to maintaining your body, knowing what’s in your food, the GMO’s and the chemicals, and I’m super aware of this stuff.”

7. Kourtney Kardashian is Into Organic

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Kardashian hit the VMAs with boyfriend Travis Barker. “Some people know, but I’m crazy obsessed about food,” she once told the Coveteur. “I started going through my pantry last night and it was just making me so angry some of the ingredients that are in some of our snacks. I don’t do my grocery shopping a lot, because I just don’t have time, so I was reading and it looks healthy from the packages, but when you read the ingredients none of it is organic. I’m really into organic. I hate the whole GMO situation.”

8. Ciara is Committed

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Ciara tries to workout at least four times a week. "What I learned by having that daily commitment—and it doesn’t mean that I go in the gym every day, because you need to let your body recover—but when I started to become more consistent, I realized how much better I felt, and how much easier my workouts became because it wasn’t so aggressive. That’s game-changing on the body and the mind. I feel like I can conquer the world on the days I work out, and it’s very rewarding," she told People.

9. Billie Eilish Has Been a Vegan

Eilish has been a vegan. "Most of us don't eat enough plant food, which is so important for heart health," Jason Ewoldt, R.D.N.,L.D., a wellness dietitian at Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, told the Mayo Clinic. “And, in a plant-based diet, Ewoldt says, you can eat virtually unlimited amounts of fresh or frozen fruits and veggies. Whole grains, legumes (beans), healthy oils, seeds and nuts round out a plant-based diet.”

Grace Charis Stuns in Golf Course Video and Reveals Her 5 Fitness Secrets

Grace Charis is more than just a golf influencer—she’s a powerhouse on and off the course. Known for blending her love of the sport with a lifestyle that keeps her fit and fabulous, Charis recently shared a video on Instagram, inviting followers to “Come play this par 3 with me!” Decked out in a sleek white visor, matching skirt, and light pink top, she showcased not just her swing but her toned physique. So, how does she stay in such great shape? From perfecting her golf game to hitting the gym, here are the five fitness habits that keep Grace Charis on top of her game.

She Golfs

Golf is the main way Charis keeps herself in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. 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.”

She Swims

Charis likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself snorkeling in Japan. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of health benefits, including building your muscles. “The built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”

She Lifts Weights

Charis shared some of her favorite workouts in this TikTok. In it, she is seen doing a lot of workouts with weights. According to ACE Fitness, 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 Does Glutes Bridges

Charis is also seen doing glute bridges in her TikTok. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Glute bridges are a useful exercise for building core stability, building glute strength, and improving overall exercise form and function. When performed as a stabilization exercise, glute bridges activate the glutes to function as they are supposed to in other movements like squats, deadlifts, walking, and running. Adding weight progresses glute bridges into a strength exercise, which can build strength in the glute muscles. By increasing glute activation and strengthening the glutes, not only will your form get better in other exercises, but you might also gain the added benefit of reduced low back pain in your everyday life.”

She Does Lunges

Charis is also seen doing lunges with weights in her TikTok. Lunges are very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “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. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Burpees

Tedeschi likes to do burpees to keep herself in shape. She shared this video in her Instagram story highlight of herself doing them.

She Does Deadlifts

Tedeschi is seen doing deadlifts with a weight in this Instagram story. Deadlifts are very beneficial. ACE Fitness says, “The most important benefit of the RDL is that it teaches the proper movement and biomechanics of standing hip flexion and extension. This is the foundational movement for squatting, whether the movement is performed with a weight in the gym or while bending over to pick an object up from the floor.”

Rachel Platten is a very successful singer. She is known for songs like “Fight Song” and “Stand By You.” Recently, Platten announced on Instagram that she will be going on tour this year. She captioned a post, “I cannot wait to see your faces and hug you and cry together and feel our feelings and connect and saaaang!! Tickets go on sale this Monday. But if you’re signed up for my email list then you’ll get an email giving you early access TODAY. See you soon my friends.”

She Opened Up About Her Struggles

After having her first child, Platten opened up about her struggles on Instagram. She tells TODAY that she received a lot of support from others after doing this. "I get flooded with comments from other women and men saying that it's OK, and I'm not alone, I'm not doing a bad job," she said. “It's making me feel not isolated. I could have gone down a road of this being a much darker experience had I not learned early on to be vulnerable and vocalize what I'm going through. That's been a really big life raft for me.”

She’s Comfortable With Her Weight

On her Instagram, Platten revealed that she is not putting pressure on herself to lose pregnancy weight, as she is comfortable with herself. “I am not less worthy of love just because I can’t seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of ‘baby weight.’ I’ve tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance. I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weight and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life and am honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking myself back to pre-baby weight. F— it.”

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Platten shared some of her skincare secrets with Health Insight. “I apply face masks regularly — twice a week or more — and often go to sleep with a thin layer of a hydrating mask instead of a moisturizer. I also have a five-step routine (cleansing, toning, using a serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen) that I do every morning and night no matter what. It’s a form of meditation for me and reminds me that even when I’m crazy busy there’s always time to breathe and love on myself a little.”

She’s Consistent With Wellness

Platten makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She shared her secrets with Health Insight. “In addition to my daily routine, I get regular facials (or give myself mini facials when I don’t have time), drink a crazy amount of water, eat healthy foods, and wear hats almost every time I’m in the sun. As cheesy as it might sound, I really do love taking care of my skin and I put a lot of effort into maintaining it.”

She Gives Back

Platten is a big believer in giving back to others. “I think we can remember how powerful we are by giving — giving compliments, our time to charities, and random acts of kindness,” she told Health Insight. “We can feel sad and powerless when we only focus on what we don’t have or don’t want, but we can easily shift this by switching that focus to what we have to offer! In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful or attractive than a woman who knows her worth and power.”
