Minjee Lee is an extremely successful pro golfer. She won the 2021 Evian Women’s Championship, and won the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open. Lee recently competed in the U.S. Open, and shared photos of herself on the course on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Beautiful walk around Lancaster CC last week! Loved the challenge of the US Open and choosing to take the positives out of the week😊Thank You to the amazing fan support & a great event run by the Usga!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Minjee Lee stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works Hard

Lee talked about her career in an interview with The New York Times. She says that she makes sure to work hard. “For me, for my progression and not having missed a cut over that period of time, I feel like I’ve put in a lot of hours and effort into my game and improving each day. It just shows my consistency over X amount of time.”

2. She Advocates For Women’s Golf

Lee tells The New York Times that she wants women’s golf to be given more attention. “I’m really happy and grateful that we were able to play at Muirfield and have access to the golf course, and being at Pebble for the first time. I know that a lot of work goes into having those championships there. It’s not easy — nothing is easy, right? — but I am a little bit bittersweet that it took this much time to get the women on these golf courses. I’m very appreciative of the tours and the U.S. Golf Association and all of our sponsors for really pushing the women’s game and the L.P.G.A. to go to all of these great venues now, and I know it’s only going to get better.”

3. She Doesn’t Overwork Herself

Lee tells The New York Times that she is making sure to not overwork herself. “I don’t need to spend all of my time playing every single event, trying to keep my card as a rookie. I’m getting older, so I want to look after my body, look after my mind. That’s what’s going to help me perform my best, so I think that’s why a lot of athletes are now talking about taking care of your well-being, taking care of your mind, where you are in your life. Just to be healthy inside and out I think is really important, and if nobody talks about it, nobody will really know about it either, so you can’t get the proper help if you need it.”

4. She Stays Healthy

Lee shared her wellness routine with Australian Golf Digest. “During tournament weeks, I try to do at least two good gym sessions. During the offseason I usually focus on gaining strength so the volume of weight training increases. I usually eat pretty healthily but I have kind of a sweet tooth so I do like my desserts and sweets. But I am such a foodie – I just love tasty food!”

5. She Golfs

Golf is naturally the main way Lee stays in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “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.”

Michelle Lewin, a renowned fitness model, continues to impress fans with her incredible physique and dedication to health and wellness.

Walking

Michelle makes sure to get her steps in. You can usually find her walking around Miami. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Motivation in the Mirror

What motivates Michelle? “I would say the mirror. There’s nothing more motivating than when you find a new vein! Am I crazy? Probably, but it’s true! Progress is what motivates me to keep pushing harder and not give up. Also it’s extremely motivating to have so many female fans,” she told Simply Shredded.

Cardio for Weight Loss

To “cut down” or lose weight, do lots of cardio, advises Michelle. “I just love to sweat like a maniac. So what ever I feel like: Stair Master, Rollerblading around South Beach Miami or Spinning classes. I keep the intensity high and make sure that I am always pushing my hardest,” she said.

The Real Housewives of New York (and Ultimate Girls Trip!) star Kristen Taekman is fully on board with the trend of ‘hot girl walks’ (which is when you take a 4 mile walk outside while listening to something that inspires you). Taekman, 46, shared a video of herself dressed in hot pink two-piece workout gear, looking—as usual—absolutely stunning. “Obsessed with hot girl walks… anyone else or am I just the last one to hop on this trend! 😳 anyways shout out @jljefflewis for keeping me entertained while I walk!” she captioned the post. Taekman appears to have barely aged a day since her stint on New York—here’s how she does it.

1. Fitness DVD

Taekman teamed up with celebrity trainer and JCORE founder Jay Cardiello to develop cardio/strength training fitness DVD Body Back. The workout can be done in 20 minutes, in a small space, no gym membership needed. “I said in the beginning I’m not a gym person. I walk into the gym and don’t know what to do with myself and I’m too embarrassed to ask,” Taekman told PEOPLE. “Like I literally walk around and pretend I know what I’m doing when I really don’t. So it’s awesome that I can just watch this video, and I have everything I need right there.”

2. 20 Minute Workout

Taekman’s favorite thing about Body Back is how short—yet effective—a workout it is. “I will tell my friends about JCORE Body Back and they say they don’t have time for that, and I’m like, ‘No you don’t understand. You start at 7:10 and you’re done at 7:30.’ Everyone has 20 minutes,” she told PEOPLE. “When we first started this whole process I was so winded — 7 minutes in and I felt like I couldn’t get through it. I kept saying to Jay, ‘I feel like I’m fit, but you obviously know how to help me tighten and strengthen.’ My goal was to not feel winded and I’m finally there, which is great.”

3. No Regrets

Taekman has no regrets about being on Housewives. “Life has been fantastic since the Housewives,” she told Upfront NY. “I always like to note that it has been drama free. The whole experience was wonderful, I learned so much. I made great new friends and I feel like I learned a lot about myself. I always like to remind people when the whole thing started for me my daughter was only a year old and I was still in that whole mommy mode. So for me it was a great opportunity to get back out there.”

4. Drugstore Cleanser

Taekman has been using the same drugstore cleanser for decades. "Everybody wants to try new things, but I feel like you should stick with what works,” she told PEOPLE. I've been using Purpose soap for 20 years to wash my face. You get it at CVS for $5. That's the only thing I use; I won't stray from it. I used to have really crazy problems with my skin so I don't like to stray from what my skincare routine is. I'm kind of superstitious." "The best beauty advice I've ever gotten is to sleep with a silk pillowcase," Taekman says. "It's good for your hair, it's good for your skin and it's anti-aging. When you're smooshed up all night on a cotton pillow, it causes wrinkles and messes up your hair. When I travel I bring silk scarves to throw on the pillow."

5. Get That Glow

Taekman knows how important healthy habits are for beauty and wellness. “We all know the importance of 8 hours of sleep, drinking the equivalent to 8 glasses of water (which I love with a squeeze of fresh lemon) and eating healthy are the three best things you can do for your skin and body,” she writes in her website Last Night’s Look. “I strongly recommend find the beauty routine that works for you and your skin and stay consistent with it and get that GLOW!”

1. She Competes In Fitness Competitions

During her wrestling career, Lee decided to do other types of physical competitions. She competes in bikini fitness competitions. In this video she posted on YouTube, Lee opened up about how she made the decision to try this out. “So, I’ve always wanted this before and it’s just never really happened. So just yesterday I was like, ‘I think I can do it.’ So I said to my coach, ‘When is the next competition?’ And he was like, ‘August 15’, and I was like ‘I’ll do it.’ I don’t know what got into me, I don’t know what I was thinking, but in that moment I was 100% committed to it and we literally started from that moment.”

2. She Strength Trains

Lee does a lot of strength training exercises to stay in shape. She has shared videos on Instagram of herself doing different weight and strength based workouts. She shared this series of videos of herself doing tricep lifts, lifts with a round weight, and lateral pulldowns. She also shared this reel of herself doing barbell lifts.

3. She Works Out Her Lower Body

In it, she is seen doing donkey kicks, lunges with a weight, and two variations of squats, one with a weight, and one without. She captioned the video, “My head says booty, but my heart says pizzy. Monday morning werk.”

4. She Hikes

Lee loves to go hiking, and usually with her partner, Shawn Spears. Lee shared this adorable set of photos of the two of them hiking in Runyon Canyon on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Ok, I don’t why Runyon blew us sky high today. Going to blame it on the altitude, being fasted, the sun, time change… anything except our cardio.”

5. She Does Cold Water Therapy

Lee makes time to recover after a workout. One thing that she likes to do is go for a dip into some cold water. Lee posted this video on Instagram of herself diving into a pool after a session. She captioned the video, “Post workout cold therapy. How about that impeccable diving form.”

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.”

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

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 "More Motivated Than Ever"

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

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

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

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.”
