Maitreyi Ramakrishnan is showing off her booty in a bathing suit. The Never Have I Ever star shows off her amazing body a swimsuit driving her followers completely wild. “We all zoomed in,” commented one of them. “You are slim thicc and so beautiful its unreal,” another added. How does the actress, who plays high school student Devi Vishwakumar in the Netflix teen comedy series, approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up the secrets to her “slim thicc” body.


1. Prioritize Self-Care

Maitreyi encourages self-care. One of her go-to methods? “I’m regularly listening to podcasts and listening to music — just having those outlets to relax with are a large part of my wellness routine,” she told Bustle. “Even if it’s talking about serial killers, it’s still nice to have something running in the background.”

2. Make Eating a Social Activity

“For me, it’s not just about eating the food myself, but eating with others,” she told Bustle. “My brother and the rest of my family can cook. I don’t want to step on their toes, you know? I wouldn’t want to add to the competition.”

3. Drink Tea

What will you find in Maitreyi’s Starbucks cup? “I’m definitely more of a tea person,” she confessed to Bustle. “Jasmine green tea is my favorite — I’ll take it with a little bit of milk. The best form it comes in though is bubble tea.”

4. Destress with Peppermint Oil

Maitreyi is a big proponent of essential oils. “I have this awesome Saje peppermint oil, and you can use it for headaches. You put it on the temples of your head. So whenever I have a bad headache and the day’s been stressful and I just have a lot on my mind—a lot of anxiety or work filling up my brain—I put a little bit of that on my temples just to chillax. It really does help me sleep,” she told Self.

5. Dance

Maitreyi dances her way to a great figure. “Just some BTS of dance practice with @richamoorjani,” she captioned an Instagram post. 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.

Camila Mendes recently shared a swimsuit photo with the caption "Lost at Sea," radiating a healthy glow.

1. She Has Had Body Image Issues

“One time I met a fan on an airplane,” she told InStyle. “I think we were both coming back from Brasília, which is where my parents are from in Brazil. She and I were both headed back to LA and she came up to me when I was in line to get on the flight and then we found out that we were sitting next to each other and we ended up talking for the entire, I dunno, eight hour flight. I can't remember how long it was, but she and I talked about how we both had body image issues and how she also struggled with an eating disorder and how I helped her accept herself and she expressed her appreciation for the things I've spoken about and shared her story and it was really emotional and she's still a friend that I keep in touch with sometimes.”

2. She Uses Skin Masks

Mendes uses Loop skin masks. “I use them all the time. For me, I am somebody who's always struggled to find masks that fit on my face with loops. It actually just sticks on your face so well, and you can do laundry and talk on the phone and I don't know, you can do cartwheels if you want. You can literally do anything while wearing a Loops mask. And on top of that, it's really good skincare and the way that we weave it into a sort of daily skincare routine just makes it really convenient to use and very effective,” she told InStyle.

3. Speak Up For Yourself

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Camila,Mendes,At,The,2023Shutterstock

In Hollywood, she has learned “that nobody's going to look after you except yourself and you got to look out for yourself. You got to stand up for yourself and if you have a problem, speak up. Just do it respectfully and with grace. That's it,” she told InStyle.

4. She Remembers Her Riverdale Audition

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Camila,Mendes,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

For her Riverdale audition, “I was the very last person they were seeing and I managed to squeeze in an audition and I got there 30 minutes late. My hair was frizzy. It was raining that day. I remember the casting director telling me, she's like, ‘You're a little matte right now. At CW, we're glossy.’ It's glossy lips. Cheeks are glowing. She's like, so come back a few days from now. Then they brought me back for a producer audition,” she told Stephen Colbert. Her friend did her makeup to make her look “glowy, like she just came out of the womb.”

5. She Does Pilates

Pilates offers numerous health benefits tailored to women's well-being. This low-impact exercise enhances core strength, promoting better posture and reducing back pain common in females. By focusing on controlled movements and breathing, Pilates cultivates flexibility, aiding in muscle tone without bulk. Women also benefit from improved joint mobility and balance, which becomes increasingly important with age. Stress reduction is another advantage, as Pilates encourages mindfulness and relaxation. Whether aiming to regain pre-pregnancy fitness or boost overall vitality, women find Pilates a versatile solution, enhancing physical resilience and mental equilibrium simultaneously.

Rashmi Gautam missed her vacation days. And she’s making up for it when the pandemic hit. Gautam shared a new post on Instagram of herself on vacation. In it, she sat by the pool enjoying breakfast. Gautam captioned the photo, “This is how your 1st international trip after 2020 feels like.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Rashmi Gautam 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 Doesn’t Care About Criticism

Gautam has no time for criticism. When someone on Twitter commented on her body, she immediately hit back. Gautam wrote, “Well I’m not almost turning 30, that ship sailed quite some time back. And coming to the weight gain it happens sometimes and since we do tv it gets noticed very visibly unlike in films where u get your gaps and time to focus exclusively on yourself.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

In the same post, Gautam revealed that she’s comfortable with herself. “And also, what’s the big deal, it’s after all weight you lose some you gain some. As actresses, yes there are certain expectations from us. But I refuse to go under the knife, or endorse fad diets. Under any circumstance. Each one has a body type there is no set mold to fit in.”

3. She Embraces Aging

One thing Gautam does to feel comfortable with herself is embrace aging. “For some weird reason our society does not accept aging, which is a natural thing,” she says. “You cannot look like a teenager all your life and one should not push their lifestyle to an extent when u only live off soups and salads. Things like these build unwanted pressure on a lot of us and I personally know many who have had to take extreme measures and are battling depression so please be mindful. And I wud rather exit gracefully than go thru unwanted pressure and not have a life.”

4. She Swims

Gautam spends a lot of time in the water. She posted this video of herself in a pool on Instagram. Gautam captioned it, “Once a water baby, always a water baby.” Swimming.org reports that, “Swimming uses all the muscles in the body so whether you swim a gentle breaststroke or hammer butterfly, you will get a full body workout. Plus, exercising in water makes your body work harder so 30 minutes in a pool is worth 45 minutes of the same activity on land.”

5. She’s An Activist

Gautam is a supporter of animal rights. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram highlighting the cause. Gautam posted this photo for Animal Welfare Day. She also shared this post calling for less explosives during Eid celebrations. She captioned it, “The goal here is to save animals and make sure no animals are harmed. Asking to avoid loud noise explosives has become such a big issue.”

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “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 Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
