Professional Alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin knows how to make workouts and training fun. Shiffrin, 29, shared a video of herself wearing green leggings and a gray tank top, doing pull ups with an exercise ball. She wraps it all up with a cute silly dance. “Silly-dancing is the BEST way through a session 🤗🤭🤪💃🕺,” she captioned the post. Shiffrin works hard and trains hard—here’s how she stays focused and fit.


1. Core Exercises

Shiffrin likes to work on her core when she’s not skiing. “I sort of love to hate all of the moves that I ever have to do!” she told Fit Bottomed Girls. “I think my favorite workouts are generally the core workouts. The burn you get in your core is that immediate gratification — you can feel it and you know you’re getting stronger. I feel like my core is strong, my back is strong, and it just ties everything together.”

2. Taylor Swift Playlist

Music helps Shiffrin focus before a race. "I'll start building out a playlist for the season, that's kind of my specific training and race day playlist,” she told NPR. “It ends up being something I listen to a lot. There's always a lot of Taylor Swift in there. But there will sometimes also be some classical, some piano, just some instrumental songs. Pretty much anything that makes me feel more inspired.”

3. She Loves Her Carbs

Shiffrin enjoys plenty of carbs, especially pasta. “I go through phases where I write down everything I eat and I keep track of calories,” she told Clean Eating. “For the most part, I have a pretty good gauge of the portions that I should have: carbs versus protein, versus vegetables. The easiest way for me to have energy is to have some carbs. I always have pasta after a race and after training to fuel me up and get me ready for tomorrow. Carbs aren’t bad. Everything in moderation. I’m not afraid of carbs. I just try to keep it all balanced.”

4. Philosophical About Failure

Shiffrin has good advice for young athletes. “Anything you do — probably in life but definitely in sport — you have to go into it knowing that you're going to fail,” she told NPR. “And knowing that it's probably going to be painful, because it's supposed to be. If you care about the thing at all, then it should hurt and be disappointing. I find that sometimes in the most emotional, difficult moments, you have to take your sense of self and ego out of it, and just know that that is something that happens to everybody. It will happen to everybody. You will not avoid it.”

5. Intuitive Eating

Shiffrin listens to her body when it comes to food, especially sugar. “I go through phases,” she told Fit Bottomed Girls. “I want dessert every night. I make cookies every night and I have dessert. And then I get to a point where I’m like, okay, it’s time for me to stop having cookies every night. You just take little steps. And then I’ll say, I’m going to stop having sugar three days a week. And then, all of a sudden, you’ve gone a week without sugar and it’s really easy to continue, and you don’t crave it.”

Dancing With the Stars professional dancer Peta Murgatroyd doesn’t just dance for work—she does it for fun too (and Instagram!). Murgatroyd, 37, shared a video of herself wearing orange leggings and a matching sports bra, dancing with husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy. “🎉 FINALE VIBES 🎉 Our last trailer dance for a while 🥺 What an incredible season!” she captioned the post. Here’s how the dancer and mother-of-two (with baby number three on the way!) stays fit, strong, and full of energy.

1. Dance Training

Murgatroyd always intensifies her workouts before Dancing With the Stars goes into production. “I’ve been doing boxing, I’ve been going to the gym, I’ve had my personal trainer,” she told Us Weekly. “I’ve been doing my part in keeping healthy … any time I’ve gone back, whether I go to the gym or not, it’s a shock to the system because it’s so intense. We do 4 to 6 hours a day and you just don’t get that type of cardio anywhere else, so it’s always a bit of a shock. But I think I’m going to be fine.”

2. Daily Workouts

Murgatroyd loves running and hiking every day. “I have to work out every day,” she told Dance Magazine. “I need to break a sweat. Running is my main go-to, whether on the road or on the treadmill. I also love to go hiking at Runyon Canyon. During the off-season I really need to keep my body in shape, as I’m not dancing as much as I do when I’m on Dancing With The Stars.

3. Dancer’s Diet

Murgatroyd is careful about her diet when she’s in work mode—she fuels with healthy proteins, and enjoys pasta as a treat. “I usually eat chicken salads, granola bars, vegetables and a little bit of chocolate,” she told Dance Magazine. “I love granola bars, dried fruit, and Gatorade.”

4. Tricking Her Body

Murgatroyd loves hot yoga and Pilates. “When you’re in the rehearsal period, you tend to lose a lot of weight because you’re throwing yourself into several different styles of dance that you aren’t used to and you’re rehearsing 12 hours a day,” she told PEOPLE. “Towards the middle of the tour, I stopped losing weight and I kind of plateaued which is a good thing because you don’t want to get too skin and bones out there. I figured out that for my body, I need to keep maintaining my strength and endurance. I have to trick my body into doing different types of cardio now so my muscles never get bored because now they’re so used to doing the show.”

5. Champion Instinct

Murgatroyd can tell almost immediately if she and her dance partner will be a success as a team. “Usually by the end of the day on day one, I can figure out if we’re gonna be in finals or not,” she told Us Weekly. “That’s a very big telltale sign. We go through all the basics and you know, you can tell if it’s somebody that is charming and funny and maybe not the best dancer, but you could definitely get to the finals. Or it could be a great dancer and I might need to work on the personality and bringing their personable side out. I definitely know in 24 hours.”

Michelle Jenneke is a track and field athlete known for doing the hurdles. Jenneke has even competed in the Olympics. She also recently competed in Finland, and shared some highlights from the day on Instagram. Jenneke captioned the post, “Season best of 12.69 tonight at the @kuortanegames 😆 Great night with solid races from the Aussie contingent! Thank you Finland!!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Jenneke stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Jenneke shared some of her favorite workouts with Body & Soul. She says that she does a variety of different things. “It’s a lot of heavy weights there, plus full body exercises and quite a bit of plyometric [exercises]. I start with heavy weights, and then I’ll do some lighter functional circuit, towards the end. All up, that takes an hour and a half to two hours… and sometimes when I finish a session I just lie on the ground.”

2. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

`

Jenneke also shared her diet secrets with Body & Soul. She shared her favorite breakfasts for training day. “It really depends on what my training day looks like, but if I’ve got training in the morning (which I often do at the moment) I’ll have cereal generally before I go out and train. Then, I actually love having a Milo after a hard session – it’s got good levels of protein and iron in it – and then I make myself a second breakfast, which could be muesli with yoghurt or bacon and eggs.”

3. She Dances

Jenneke likes to dance before a meet. "The dancing preparation is good," Jenneke said to The New Zealand Herald. "People see me doing a dance on the track and it's part of my enjoyment ... I love being there and I love racing and that's how I express that. If you watch me during my warm up I'm dancing the whole way through it. I've always got music playing and I'm just really getting into it, it's how I pump myself up for the race."

4. She Swims

Jenneke loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself snorkeling in the ocean. Jenneke captioned the post, “A little taste of my amazing holiday in the Whitsundays last week 🌴⛵️ @suncoastcharters @hamiltonisland #gopro 🎶 Born To Be Yours - Kygo & Imagine Dragons.”

She Trains Consistently

Jenneke shared her training secrets with Body & Soul. She says that consistency is important. “I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on. You do some warm up, a hurdle session, and then a sprint session after that.”

Lauren Sisler is showing off her moves – in her two-piece exercise gear. In a new social media post the ESPN host boogies down on the sidelines. “DJ Sizzler bringing the sideline shimmy to the @bin.depot 🔥🎤,” she captioned the Instagram clip. “You go girl!” commented one of her followers. “On fire,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Gymnastics

Lauren grew up in a sports family. “I was a gymnast,” she told Style Blueprint. “Gymnastics is very much an individual sport. Growing up, I was always competing for myself, for my coaches, and my parents. Then I go to Rutgers and now I’m competing for my team. That was a wonderful experience — to be able to compete for something greater than myself and ultimately to earn that opportunity to be the captain of the gymnastics team. To be looked upon as a role model, as someone who could lead the team — not only in the gym but also outside the gym — it really was an honor.”

2. Torque Workouts

Lauren is a fan of a workout method that includes resistance sleds, dumbbells, and rowing machines. “I love to exercise. There’s no pick-up game of gymnastics. So, I have to get in my Torque workouts,” she told the publication.

3. Baths

One of Lauren’s favorite things? A “good bubble bath,” she told Style Blueprint. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

4. Hiking

“I love the outdoors,” Lauren added to Style Blueprint. She spends her free time hiking with her family. “Yosemite and Lake Tahoe were simply breathtaking. The perfect blend of adventure and serenity before the chaos of football season begins. There’s nothing like nature’s beauty to remind you to slow down and appreciate the moment,” she captioned an Instagram post.

5. Dancing

You can always find Lauren dancing on the sidelines. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but 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 heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Elizabeth Hendrickson is an actress, known for her roles on soap operas. Hendrickson has appeared on All My Children and The Young & The Restless. In January, Hendrickson met up with her friends for a dance workout. She shared a video on Instagram of them, captioning it, “And…5, 6, 7, 8!!! Such a fun morning with these girlies I’ve been building friendships with. Today we pushed each other and did a DOUBLE work out starting at 8 M on a Saturday. A full body exercise with weights for 50 mins followed by a dance cardio dance class that was also 50 mins. Sorry, but yes, I’m bragging a little here 😝 but I’m so proud of us ! We may not be able to walk this afternoon but our hearts are full and we feel great 💪🏻. We did it !!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Elizabeth Hendrickson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works Out With Others

As you can see from her Instagram posts, Hendrickson likes to workout with her friends. According to Iowa State University, group workouts have a lot of health benefits. “The highest quality or type of motivation is called intrinsic motivation – you’re doing something because the behavior itself is enjoyable, satisfying or both. If you enjoy exercise and not just the positive feelings you get after you’ve worked out, you are more likely to stick with it. Exercising with other people can supply that enjoyment, even if the activity itself is difficult or otherwise not something you love. Group exercise can turn working out into a fun social activity, which could lead to you continuing to do it.”

2. She Does Yoga

Hendrickson likes to practice yoga to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and some friends doing poses. Weill Cornell states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “Studies suggest that yoga can lower not only your blood pressure and risk of hypertension but also your cholesterol levels and resting heart rate, reducing your overall risk of heart disease. It can ease chronic back pain, depression and anxiety, and the physical and psychological stress of breast cancer treatment.”

3. She Skis

Hendrickson likes to go skiing to stay in shape. Her family went on a ski trip to Mammoth Mountain in March. Hendrickson shared highlights from the trip on Instagram. Skiing is a cardio workout, and according to UMC Rochester, that makes it a great workout. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for ongoing (chronic) diseases. They lower your blood pressure. And they help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

4. She Bikes

According to this photo on her Instagram, Hendrickson likes to go biking. A Healthier Michigan states that biking can improve a person’s balance. “Everyone thinks about biking as great for your legs, and it is, but it’s also good for your balance. Cycling engages your abdominal muscles as you balance and steer, go up hills and around corners, according to information shared by the Cleveland Clinic. It can help improve not only your balance, but your coordination and your posture.”

5. She Dances

As you can see from the Instagram post, Hendrickson likes to do dance workouts. She also shared this video on her page of herself and some friends doing another dance workout. Hendrickson captioned the post, “The 3 W’s from class today. Way too much fun. Won’t be able to walk tomorrow. Wish you could have heard the playlist.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

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.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Hewitt tells People that she wants to be a role model for others. In it, she shared the advice she gives to young girls. “When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor. Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

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

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.

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.
