Frida Aasen is modeling a new Alo workout set. In a new social media post, the stunning Nordic model shows off her famous figure – flat abs and all – in a two-piece exercise set. “Going into 2025 rested and recovered 🧘🏼♀️🤍 with all the traveling I do throughout the year, taking the time to fully reset is everything. One of my goals this year is to prioritize this even more 😌 @alo #moveintowellness,” 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.


Pescatarian

A,Signboard,With,The,Text,Pescatarian,,For,Vegetarian,People,WhoShutterstock

Frida is a pescatarian. Falafel is one of her favorite foods. “I don’t eat meat, just fish. I don’t like meat, though; I never did. Growing up, I would sort of push the chicken around when we had dinner and just eat the rice or potatoes,” she told The Daily Front Row.

Coffee

Frida loves coffee. “Starting my day with the essential—morning coffee!” she dished to Vogue Scandinavia. “There’s something about that first sip that gets the adrenaline pumping, readying me for the whirlwind fashion-filled day ahead. It’s my little moment of peace before I dive into the hustle.”

Meditation

Aasen is all about taking a holistic approach to health. “Listen to your body,” she told Fashion Week Daily. “It will show on the outside if you’re not taking care of the inside! Beauty comes from within, and usually, if you have skin problems, there’s a specific reason related to your lifestyle, like stress or diet!” In a recent post, she gets her zen on while meditating. “Tranquil,” she captioned it. Meditation:

“When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Spinning

She also mixes in cycling. “I like SoulCycle, too. I love the hip-hop-themed rides; they’re my favorite. I just did one that was about the evolution of Rihanna. It was incredible,” she said. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Pilates

Her go-to workout? “I do Pilates at SLT. It’s so tough!” she told the publication. What makes 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.

Fashion model Frida Aasen knows how to get the most effective workout possible done in the least amount of time, making the most of her exercise regimen. Aasen, 29, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a matching sports bra, doing a full-body workout with trainer Kyle Hoffman at the Alo gym in New York. “Get it girl,” a fan commented. Aasen shares her workouts on social media—here’s what her fitness routine looks like.


1. Coffee First Thing

Aasen always starts the day with coffee, especially when she has a show. “Starting my day with the essential—morning coffee!” she told Vogue Scandinavia. “There’s something about that first sip that gets the adrenaline pumping, readying me for the whirlwind fashion-filled day ahead. It’s my little moment of peace before I dive into the hustle.”

2. Resistance Band Workouts

Aasen loves doing resistance band workouts on a mat at home. Here is one of her mini-full-body workouts:

Donkey kicks 30 on each leg

50 Russian twists

20 side squats each side with 5kg weights

15 side planks each side

15 jump squats

50 Jump ropes

Repeat x2 and finish off with a good stretch

3. Holistic Health

Aasen believes in a holistic approach to health and beauty. “Listen to your body,” she told Fashion Week Daily. “It will show on the outside if you’re not taking care of the inside! Beauty comes from within, and usually, if you have skin problems, there’s a specific reason related to your lifestyle, like stress or diet. Also, always wear sunscreen!”

4. Cleaning For Stress Relief

Aasen says cleaning her house helps her to destress and calm down, something actually backed by science. “A lot of people do find cleaning to be very satisfying, but also to be very good way of managing stress or anxiety,” clinical psychologist Dawn Potter, PsyD, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “So a lot of people when they are faced with other problems that maybe they can't address at the time, or they're just kind of overwhelmed, they find that cleaning helps them restore a sense of control. I think that the act of cleaning itself of course, is a physical act and so if, depending on how much cleaning we're doing, how vigorous we're getting, we actually may be getting a bit of a workout.”

5. Pescatarian Diet

Aasen avoids all meat except for fish, preferring plant-based alternatives such as chickpeas. “Chickpeas are also an excellent source of non-animal protein,” Patricia Bridget Lane, RDN, LDN, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “They’re great for vegetarians and vegans.”

Aasen enjoys group Pilates and SoulCycle classes. “I do Pilates at SLT,” she says. “It’s so tough! I like SoulCycle, too. I love the hip-hop-themed rides; they’re my favorite. I just did one that was about the evolution of Rihanna. It was incredible.”

2. Meditation and Yoga

Aasen says she took advantage of COVID-19 lockdowns to learn to cook. “I have become a much better cook,” she says. “Living in NYC I never cooked much, but in the pandemic I started to really enjoy it. I also started doing much more mindfulness (meditation) and yoga.”

3. Health Hacks

Aasen lives by a simple motto for health and wellness. “Enough sleep, healthy diet and healthy mind,” she says. “People would be surprised to know that I actually love deep cleaning my own house. Cleaning really helps me destress and calm down when I have anxiety.”

4. No Meat

Aasen avoids meat and sticks to other sources of protein such as chickpeas. “Chickpeas are also an excellent source of non-animal protein,” says Patricia Bridget Lane, RDN, LD/N. “They’re great for vegetarians and vegans.”

5. Independent Spirit

Aasen says her career as a model (she was discovered at age 14) helped her get over self-consciousness as a young girl. “It has given me a lot of independence from a young age,” she says. “Shown me how to connect socially and on a business level with people from all backgrounds/ages etc. I think it’s been such a blessing especially to be able to be young and travel the world and experience so many different cultures and people.”

Frida Redknapp is making memories in paradise in her swimsuit. The stunning wife of footballer Jaime Redknapp shows off her impossibly toned abs in one of her latest social media posts. “Days to remember,” she captioned the Instagram snap of herself on the beach in the Maldives. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Frida Redknapp 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 Kickboxes

While in the Maldives, Frida got an outdoor workout in, starting with kickboxing. “Dream Gym,” she captioned the post. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."

2. She Strength Trains

In the same post, Frida also shows off some of her strength training moves, including doing weighted squats. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

3. She Does Yoga

Frida is also a devoted yogi, even managing to get a session in when surrounded by her kids. “Love a peaceful yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️session,” she joked in this photo. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. She Has a Workout Buddy

The couple that sweats together, stays together! Frida has the ultimate workout buddy – her husband. The two even spent last V-day at the gym sweating together. “Valentine’s Day @jab_box with my girl . You killed us @george__veness,” Jaime captioned the post.

5. She Runs

Frida also enjoys running, especially when it involves helping other people out. “Great morning running for such an incredibly important cause,” she captioned one of her Instagram posts. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Kristina Nicole is sharing a motivating message to her followers – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the IFBB pro shows off her famous figure in a two-piece set. “Your job is not to rush the timing. Rather, to determine the type of person who will meet it at the doorway,” she captioned the post, quoting Brianna Wiest. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. She Makes Progress in the Off Season

Kristina, who also goes by Kristina Mendoza, maintains that most progress is made in her offseason. “There’s a lot of calories going in. Training gets more and more intense as the calories go up,” she said, adding that she used to train legs twice a week, but now only does legs once. “I’m trying to bring my upper body up, be a little more symmetrical with the legs, so I have better flow and balance onstage,” she told Muscle & Fitness.

2. She Trains Hamstrings and Quads on the Same Day

Mendoza trains hamstrings and quads on the same day with adductors added in as well. “I like to burn them out a little bit before I get into the compound movements like the leg press or squat machine,” Mendoza explained. After a brief introduction, Mendoza then demonstrates each of the movements that she likes to work with.

3. Hydration

Mendoza prioritizes hydration. “water break,” she captioned this post. 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.

4. Mastery Is “Mindset”

“Mastery is a mindset: It requires the capacity to see your abilities not as finite, but as infinitely improvable. Mastery is a pain: It demands effort, grit, and deliberate practice. Mastery is… never fully reaching mastery but always striving to get there,” she captioned a post.

5. Warmup and Stretching

Before lifting, Kristina warms up on the bike. “I like to start with lighter weight for the first couple of sets before I work up into my working sets,” said. She performs two to three lighter sets before doing one working set. She then follows that up with a “back-off” set with lighter weight and more reps.

Emily Elizabeth is heating up Hawaii – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the model and influencer shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece while on the beaches of the tropical paradise. “Hawaii >> 🌺🌈,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Simply Beautiful ❤️🏖❤,” commented one of her followers. “🔥😍perfect,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Hydration

Emily prioritizes hydration. Not only does she drink water, but also electrolyte enhanced fruit. “Fresh coconut,” she captioned a photo from Bora Bora. 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.

Coffee

Emily enjoys the perks of caffeine. Here she is drinking a cup of coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “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.

Snowboarding

While you can usually find Emily in the tropics, sometimes she heads over to the mountains for winter sports. In one of her photos she goes snowboarding. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also 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.”

Snorkeling

While on vacation Emily throws on a mask and fin and goes snorkeling. 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.

Walking

She also takes her dog for walks. Here she is strolling in Central Park with her pooch. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 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.

Emma McQuaid is prepping for her CrossFit competition – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the athlete flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise set while training. “8 weeks to my first Hyrox Sim 🏃♀️Looking forward to upping my run volume over the next 2 months to see how I can fair out before entering my first proper race later in the year. It’s no secret I don’t really enjoy running, I never have but I’m excited to see if I can turn that around this year,” she captioned the Instagram photos. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Is Consistent

If you want to improve your Olympics lifts, Emma suggests maintaining consistency. “Be consistent in your training, it’s vital you continually train all the lifts, not just the ones you like. I used to hate the full snatch and always power snatched everything. Recently though its become the opposite, I love full snatch and need to focus again on my power snatch. Always attack your weaknesses,” she told Boxrox.

Focus on Mobility

When it comes to improving gymnastic skills, Emma says to focus on mobility. “Sometimes is not just learning the skill, it’s having the mobility to be able to do it. I have struggled with handstand walks for over a year now and have practised more than people realise, but recently found out it’s my thoracic and shoulder mobility holding me back. So I have worked on my mobility and I’ve already seen improvements in my handstand walks. I’d also say people need to work the basics more, develop a strong foundation to build the high level movements on,” Emma told Boxrox.

Hydration

Drinking enough water and getting rest is an important component of health. “Eat healthy, drink plenty of water and sleep well is a good recipe for success,” she told Coach Web. 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.

Meal Prep

While Emma doesn’t meal prep, she has her food prepared for her. “All my food is supplied from a local company called Fuel Farm. I usually eat 4-5 times a day. Just depends what my training volume is like that day, I also live on Battle Oats bars between sessions, a great snack that keeps me going and doesn’t fill me up,” she says.

Balanced Diet

Emma maintains a balanced diet. “I personally think a lot of athletes in CrossFit under eat. Avoiding carbs or limiting them isn’t a good idea when you train at high intensity. I eat some junk everyday because I find it helps my performance, a 6 pack isn’t going to help me win so it doesn’t bother me, fuelling my body and maintaining the intensity in training is what will help me win. I’ve focused on timing my intake of sugar and it’s only made me better,” she told Boxrox.

Krissy Cela in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "8 Weeks of Lifting"

Krissy Cela is a fitness trainer on the Evolve You app and influencer. Recently, she has been documenting her process of losing pregnancy weight on Instagram. In a recent post, Cela revealed that she had been consistently weight training. She captioned it, “8 weeks of lifting, not depriving, recovering and sticking to an actual PLAN! Not doing random workouts. All my programs are on the @evolveyou app. I'm currently on the strong program and absolutely loving it! But there are home workouts too. Use code KRISSY for money off! (own brand).”

She Strength Trains

Cela strength trains to keep herself in shape. ACE Fitness says that this 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’s Consistent

Cela revealed in the caption of her Instagram post that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness. “So yeah… just keep lifting some heavy iron, don’t really listen to people who tell you not to unless you have an injury of some sort. Eat your fats, carbs and protein and get your steps in. Keep it simple and remember a cute gym set will make you lift heavier 😂Proud of myself because it really wasn’t easy showing up daily ngl.”

She Accepts Herself

Cela talked about her journey to accept herself in the caption of this Instagram post. “When I was growing up, all I ever wanted was to be pretty. I hated the way I looked and felt out of place, especially as the only girl in school with upper lip hair and a foreign background. I resented that my Albanian parents imposed cultural norms that limited what I could wear and how I could express myself. Now, in my 30s, I’ve learned to embrace my roots while also appreciating the many unique qualities I bring to the table that go beyond mere appearances. I didn’t realize how much being creative, strong, and loving would mean to me. I didn’t understand the true value of these qualities until now.”

She Works Her Lower Body

Cela shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “This mammaaa is putting in the work! Loving it so much moving my body and building my strength all over again 💅🏽All workout programs are from the @evolveyou app so if you’re stuck on where to start I really think you should just come and join the party and see what the fuss is all about. (Own brand). Workout: 1. KB RDL: 4 sets till failure 2. BB Reverse lunges: 4 sets 8 reps each leg 3. Hip work: need it my hips are tight: 4 sets each leg 8 reps (great to warm up also) 4. Static lunge: 4 sets 12 reps each leg 5. Also did hip thrust forgot to record 4 sets till failure.”

She Walks

Another thing that Cela does to keep herself in shape is go for walks. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself doing so. Cela shared this set of photos of herself hiking with her dog and partner. She captioned the post, “Postpartum walks! Taking it easy and feeling good! Ad/ Supported by @promix electrolytes in watermelon flavour 💅🏽Set from @oneractive launching 12th December.”
