In 2021, Megan Thee Stallion started a fitness journey and documented her newly adopted healthier ways. She launched a popular "Hottie Bootcamp" series on Instagram and in each video, she showed fans how she was making healthy lifestyle changes, including how she eats. "The things I've been eating are not so good for my body and have been slowing me down," she said in one video. She added, "This is about me just getting healthy in general and me seeing how I can transform my body in the healthiest way possible." Since then, Megan has remained committed to her boot camp and recently posted a video of an intense routine wearing tight blue short shorts and a matching top. And this weekend she posted a swimsuit photo of “Healing and Renewal.” Read on.


1. She's Consistent

Working out every now and then isn't going to produce great results, but Megan has been regularly hitting the gym and showing off her workouts. The artist does everything from weighted sled pushes to lifting heavy weights and her dedication shows--just look at her MTV Video Music Award outfits!

2. She Puts in the Hard Work

You can show up to the gym, but if you aren't putting in the work, positive changes won't happen. Megan works out hard and although she jokingly complains about the intensity of her training, she does it. "I do not suggest this if you're not trying to be a first responder, " she teased as she ran up in the sand."

3. She Does Cardio

In addition to strength training, Megan gets in cardio. Wearing super short black tie-dye shorts and a black top, the singer does the elliptical machine and dances around after showing off her results.

4. She Does HIIT

Megan recently teamed up with Nike coach David Carson to show how you can get an effective workout in without equipment in just 10 minutes. "I feel like I'm not scared of you no more," she joked to Carson. 'I'm ready for this workout." After their warmup, the two did squats, stand-up crunches, lateral lunges, and more.

5. She Switched Up Her Diet

To help kick off her health journey, Megan's trainer Timothy Boutte helped her throw out unhealthy food like chips, cookies, and other sugary snacks. He then stocked her fridge with healthier options like strawberries, blackberries, pineapple, avocados, almonds, sea bass, seasonings like paprika and chili pepper, and more.

Megan Thee Stallion is showing off her best-shape-ever body — in a bathing suit. In a new social media post the rapper, who has spent the last year working hard to transform her body, flaunts her chiseled abs in a swimsuit. She shared the photos via Instagram, driving her followers wild. “I wish I could love every picture separately,” commented one. “My legit motivation. Let me put this bagel down and hit this gym,” added another. How did the Body singer achieve her fit figure? Celebwell has the lowdown on her top health habits.


1. Discipline

Megan kickstarted her fitness journey at the start of 2023. "I'm really proud of my journey," she told People in June. "Fitness has become a part of my lifestyle. I've been disciplined and committed to working out on a regular basis and investing in my health."

2. Self-Care Days

Megan revealed to People that she takes self-care days “journaling, praying, spending time with my dogs, working out, binging my favorite shows and just doing activities that make me happy,” she revealed.

3. Hottie Bootcamp

“I might have to drop a Hottie Bootcamp sometime soon,” Meghan joked to People about the workout program she created to motivate people. However, there is nothing funny about her workouts. She does lots of squats, explaining in a #FitTok that she's aiming to "build this bootyyy.” She also added that she previously did a lot of HIIT workouts and cardio to lsoe weight, but now she is trying to build up her booty and thighs.

4. Outdoor Workouts

While Meghan definitely spends a lot of time in the gym, she also heads outdoors to blast calories. A few of her favorite workouts, per her TikTok clips? Sand dune springs and boxing on the beach.

5. Fueling Her Body with Food

Megan recently got into Pilates, sharing a clip of her workout on the reformer. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

6. Fueling Her Body with Food

Megan also maintains a healthy, protein rich diet. One of her favorite meals is fried salmon with strawberries, bananas, blackberries, kale, almond milk, organic peanut butter and ice.

Heidi Montag is one of the most iconic reality TV personalities of all time. She first came into the spotlight on the MTV series, The Hills. Montag met her husband, fellow reality TV star, Spencer Pratt on the series. Montag and Pratt later appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Marriage Boot Camp, and The Hills: New Beginnings. In a TikTok, she took her followers through a day in her life. Montag is seen sitting by the pool in a black swimsuit. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Heidi Montag stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s All About Self-Love

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,15:,Heidi,Montag,At,The,2019Shutterstock

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

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,23,,2019:,Heidi,Montag,Pratt,AtShutterstock

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

Memo,Pad,On,The,Table_front_with,Work,And,Life,TextShutterstock

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.”

3. She Eats Healthy

Megan eats healthy and stays hydrated. According to BET she once embarked on a seven-day challenge: "no bread, no sugar, no fried food, a gallon of water a day."

4. She Cheats

Megan Thee Stallion is going makeup-free in her swimsuit.

How does the rapper keep herself so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Megan Thee Stallion 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 Started Her Own Workout

Megan has her own workout. She started “Hottie Bootcamp” when she needed a fun way to get fit. The calorie-blasting and toning workout blends together strength and cardio workouts, including squats and kettlebell exercises. “These kettle bell work outs are hard...I really hate them butttt they get the job done,” she captioned one of her videos.

2. She Pole Dances and Twerks

Megan also stays fit with some unconventional methods, like twerking and pole dancing, which she calls “thee hardest work out I’ve ever done,” in an Instagram video. "Sometimes doing the same workouts or working out in the same places becomes a lil boring/ repetitious for me so I had to spice it up a little bit and take a pole class.” She said it was tough “but I’m definitely going back ! What are somethings y’all do to keep the work out interesting ?"

3. She Eats Healthy

Megan maintains a healthy diet, but she tries to make it more appealing. "That's such an important thing about eating healthy: wanting to be excited to eat the healthy food," she explains in a video. Per BET she also does seven-day challenges: "no bread, no sugar, no fried food, a gallon of water a day."

4. She Cheats

Megan eats healthy…most of the time. “Am I the only one that starts craving random” stuff “when I’m eating clean,” she wrote in a post. Chopped beef sandwiches, pancakes, M&Ms, and “some s’mores....” are a few of her go-to treats. And of course, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and Doritos, as she has partnered up with the brand.

5. She Stays Accountable

Accountability is a key part of Megan’s mission to stay fit, which is why she shares her health journey with fans. A few months after she started Hottie Bootcamp, she shared a transformation photo, encouraging her followers to “stay consistent.” "Balance exercises can help you keep your balance at any age. Older adults especially may think about regularly doing exercises to keep or improve balance. This is important because balance tends to worsen with age. Poor balance can lead to falls and broken bones, called fractures. Balance exercises can help older adults prevent falls and keep doing things on their own," says the Mayo Clinic.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
