Clancy loves to get different facial treatments done at the spa, even the weird ones. She tells The Sun that she likes to do a unique massage to her face. “My friend Nichola Joss does something called an inner facial massage, where she can tighten your muscles by going inside your mouth. It’s so painful, but it really works.”

3. She Loves Pilates

Clancy told Express that she loves to do Pilates as a way to help herself stay in shape. She adds that sometimes her mom will join her for a quick session. “Me and my mum do the Reformer Pilates, which just gives me more energy and strength to be able to look after my big, heavy long babies,” she says. “I have to be strong for that.”

4. She Works Out Her Core

Clancy has a flat stomach, and she works hard for it. She tells Closer that loves Pilates and other exercises that work out her core. "I've been doing more core work for fitness,” she explained. "After having my third baby, I did feel quite weak and tired... Doing your pelvic floor exercises and working on your core, you just feel stronger.”

5. She Eats Healthy Food, Especially Before A Shoot

Clancy tells Closer that when it comes to her diet, she eats pretty healthy, especially when she has a modeling job coming up. “I normally just cut out junk food when I want to shape up. Before a photo shoot I avoid stodge and eat food like fish and veg, which you can digest easily, so you don’t get a bloated stomach. Drinking lots of water helps, too.”

Molly Rainford first made waves at 11 years old, when she appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. She later went on to launch a successful singing career, even playing the title character in the musical TV series, Nova Jones. Recently, Rainford was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, reaching the finale. She’s currently on vacation in Barbados, and shared a new set of photos on Instagram. In them, she sat on a lounge chair wearing a pale pink bathing suit. She captioned it, “Sun is shining.” How does she stay so fit?

Rainford opened up about her career to Wonderland Magazine. She says that the pandemic made her want to go after new opportunities, like auditioning for Nova Jones. “I think with everything that happened, it made me realise that if I enjoy something I should just go ahead and do it,” she says. “I love music and I love making music and being an artist, but acting and drama have also been something that I really enjoyed, so when the opportunity came up to do some self tape auditions and auditions over Zoom, I jumped at the opportunity.”

2. She Doesn’t Rush Things

Rainford opened up about how her mindset has changed in her Wonderland Magazine interview. She says that she is taking things slow when it comes to her career, and is letting things happen on their own pace. “I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt is that everyone’s journey is different. Whether you’re just starting now, or been in it for a while, you shouldn’t rush things.”

3. She Focuses On Herself

Rainford isn’t comparing herself to others and is focusing on herself. “You should really work on yourself and your craft,” she tells Wonderland Magazine. “Just enjoy every moment because it’s so much fun when you get to do something you love. So just take it all in.”

4. She’s Not Trying To Be Perfect

Prior to appearing on Strictly, Rainford talked about her approach to the show in an interview with BBC One. She says that she didn’t want to put too much pressure on herself to be perfect and just enjoy herself on the show. “I can be a perfectionist. So trying not to stress too much about one specific thing, and worry about the overall product. I've heard from others that simplicity is key.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Rainford loves to spend time by the water. She and her Strictly co-star, Fleur East, decided to take a beach vacation together to Barbados. Rainford shared this photo on Instagram of the two of them by the water. She captioned it, “From the ballroom to the beach.” MedIndia reports that going to the beach can have a positive impact on your mindset and wellbeing. “Listening to the waves crash against the shore calms brain activity, and the color blue offers a sense of relaxation, serenity, and peace, thereby releasing hormones such as dopamine and serotonin to reduce your stress levels. So, make sure to wash away your stress levels at the seaside.”

Abbey Clancy is throwing out some major tropical vibes. In her latest Instagram post, the 36-year-old mother-of-three flaunts her famous figure in a palm tree print swimsuit. In addition to lots of fire emojis, her followers unanimously agreed that she looked stunning in the swimwear. “Oh so beautiful,” wrote one. “Stunning. Wow,” commented another. How does the WAG keep herself in such fabulous physical form? Read on to see 9 ways Abbey Clancy 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 Does Pilates

Abbey’s go-to workout is pilates. “I’m definitely not a runner, but I love doing Reformer Pilates and aerobic classes. Whenever I finish a session I always have more energy and my body feels really toned,” she told Health & Wellbeing. She even makes her pilates workouts social. “As everyone’s so busy, it can be hard to arrange a catch-up with my friends, so we often go to a Pilates class together and grab a healthy breakfast afterwards – it’s the perfect way to motivate each other and we squeeze in a gossip whilst working out,” she added. “There are always new exercises and fads that come and go, but I always end up going back to Pilates-based activities, because they give me everything my body needs.”

2. She Stays Active

Abbey maintains an active lifestyle. “I don’t work out a huge amount but I try to include exercise in my everyday life somehow and I’m lucky that I’ve got an active lifestyle,” she added. “I admit that genetically I am very fortunate (all of my family are tall and lean) but my body really enjoys a good workout.” One way she stays fit is taking long walks with her kids. “I’m up early with my daughter every day, we walk to school and then I’m busy working all day, sometimes into the evening.”

3. She Pays More Attention to Diet and Workout When She Has a Job

“I’m like every other woman and get insecure about my body from time to time – it’s only natural. Modeling swimwear and lingerie means that I’m on show in front of a lot of people, a lot of the time, so I need to be mindful of what I eat, otherwise, I won’t feel my best and it’ll show in the pictures. Because of that, I’m really conscious of training enough, looking after myself and making sure that I still keep a womanly shape with curves in all the right places,” she said. “If I know that I have a photoshoot or event coming up I make sure that I watch what I eat a bit more and take an extra class or two to give me a confidence boost.”

4. She Rides Horses

Abbey is an experienced equestrian. “I’ve always been a very active person and love to get up and be outside as much as possible,” she revealed. “There’s nothing better than riding my horse in the countryside – I can’t wait to get back in the saddle this summer.”

5. She Dances

Abbey maintains that when she went on the show Strictly Come Dancing her body changed dramatically.”We were training for seven hours a day, almost every day, so I did drop weight and became seriously toned, but I also lost my boobs, which I hated! It was great to see what my body could do but I missed having curves and a more womanly figure. It’s only when I look back at pictures from that time that I realize how different it looked, six-pack and all! I loved my time on the show so much that I didn’t realize it was also a really intense workout, which is the key to keep exercise interesting,” she said.

6. She Believes in Moderation

“My fitness mantra is to do something you enjoy but don’t push yourself too hard,” Abbey said. “It’s great to eat as healthily as possible and to give your body everything it needs but at the same time, try not to be too strict with yourself because you have to enjoy your life. If you want a piece of chocolate, don’t beat yourself up about it. And if that glass of wine on a Friday night makes you happy, drink up – everything in moderation.”

7. This Is What She Eats in a Day

Abbey has a “huge appetite” and has to eat first thing in the morning. “Today I’ve had muesli followed by poached eggs and smoked salmon but it’s usually toast, cereal or something hot,” she said. She also loves to cook. “I love to be in the kitchen and enjoy making hearty, home-cooked food for my family at mealtimes. My husband’s 6’7” and my brother (who lives with us) is 6’4”, so I’ve got these big, burly men in my house who need their plates to be piled high,” she continued. “I often make steak with a salad, jacket potatoes, fajitas, a massive fish pie or a big roast dinner on a Sunday. Being married to a footballer helps with my diet because he needs a lot of protein and the right nutrients to nourish his body, which rubs off on me.”

8. She Cheats

Abbey is all about the occasional cheat meal. “I have a real sweet tooth. I love cakes and biscuits with a cup of tea but I try to limit how often I have them,” she said. “When I indulge I usually go for a pizza at the weekend. I don’t have it every day but now and again I really fancy one and don’t hold back. If I deny myself anything it can put me in a really bad mood and I think about it all the more.”

9. She Drinks Green Juice

“I can’t start the day without making a green juice,” Abbey confessed. “I throw in any fruit, vegetables, nuts and super powders that I have in the fridge and I’ve noticed such a difference in my energy levels, my skin is really clear and my hair feels stronger. Without one I feel sluggish, tired and crave unhealthier foods, so I always make sure I’ve stocked up on healthy ingredients. I feel better knowing that I’ve had my vitamins and minerals for the day, so anything extra is a bonus.”

Abbey Clancy has done it all. She was a runner-up on Britain’s Next Top Model and now hosts the show. She’s appeared in Sports Illustrated, Elle, and Marie Claire. She’s won Strictly Come Dancing. She’s a mother of four. And she’s got an incredible figure. Clancy posted a new photo on Instagram of herself lying on beach chairs, wearing a black bikini and sunhat. She captioned the photo “Wear your factor folks.” Read on to see 5 ways Abbey Clancy 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 Bikini Photos!

1. She Lightens Up Her Diet Before A Job

As a model and presenter, Clancy has to watch her figure, and watch what she eats. She says to CloserOnline.com, “I normally just cut out junk food when I want to shape up. Before a photo shoot I avoid stodge and eat food like fish and veg, which you can digest easily, so you don’t get a bloated stomach.”

2. She’s A Fan of Moderation

Clancy tells Closer that she believes in moderation when it comes to her diet. "I generally eat what I want to in moderation," she said. "I don't really struggle with my weight too much, so I don't have to be focused on what not to eat. But I like to eat well because it gives me energy and I feel less tired - and it's good for your skin and hair."

3. She’s A Fan of Green Juices

Clancy tells Express that she is a fan of green juices, and that she drinks them everyday. “I do green juices everyday at home, everyone has them.”

4. She Makes Sure To Stay Motivated

It can be difficult to stay motivated when working out, and Clancy has a way to stay motivated. She tells Hello! "I think everybody exercises for different reasons, whether it's stress relief, to lose weight, tone up or for their overall health. For me it makes a massive difference to my energy levels and muscle tone. Especially with my job. I need to keep in shape and keeping fit is a nice release. You feel healthy and strong and that's my motivation. It makes me feel good."

5. She Does At-Home Workouts

During lockdown, Clancy started doing at-home workouts, and even livestreamed her workouts on Instagram. She said in the stream, “I feel wiped but it gives me energy for the day, I am so much more invigorated and I accomplish more things.”

1. She Loves Oysters

Lawrence enjoys oysters, which are a great source of vitamin D, copper, selenium, iron, vitamin B12, and zinc. “Yes, oysters are very good for you,” says preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “In fact, you probably didn’t know that it’s hard to beat all the health benefits of oysters from a nutritional standpoint. Oysters can really pack a healthy punch. Think of oysters as little shells full of nutrients.”

2. She Stays True To Herself

Being on a reality show didn’t affect Lawrence’s sense of self. “For me it was easy because I just didn’t have to think about it,” she told COMPLEX. “I just said what I wanted to say, I did what I wanted to do. There wasn’t much thought into it because I was like, this is just who I am as a person. I look back and I’m like, OK, maybe I shouldn’t have done or said that, but then I’m like, well, I’m being authentic. So that’s me. And if people don’t like something that I did or said, then they might just not like me.”

3. She Loves Her “Beach Hair”

Lawrence isn’t a fan of the overly-groomed look, preferring messier “beach hair”. “A lot of people just tell me to brush my hair, which I don’t disagree with them,” she jokes. Lawrence’s hair might actually be healthier this way, experts say, "After only a day of not using irons or heat instruments to style the hair, it will be in the condition that our hair is which is dehydrated, fragile, dull, and lifeless," says Garnier celebrity hairstylist Millie Morales. "After a month, you will notice an incredible, stronger change in your hair. You would have recovered the hydration, the natural oils of your hair and would have strengthened the protective layer of the hair."

4. She Loves the Water

Lawrence has posted lots of snaps of herself frolicking in the ocean (in a bikini, of course!). “The color blue has been found by an overwhelming amount of people to be associated with feelings of calm and peace,” says clinical psychologist Richard Shuster, PsyD. “Staring at the ocean actually changes our brain waves’ frequency and puts us into a mild meditative state.”

5. She Loves to Dance

Lawrence enjoys dancing, based on her TikTok posts. “We know that movement is good for everyone,” says Emily Sandow, supervisor of dance physical therapy at NYU Langone’s Harkness Center for Dance Injuries. “A healthy lifestyle is integrating the mind, body and soul relationship, and dance has all of those characteristics. Everyone can do something, even if it’s just you just tapping your foot. Everyone can do something where they can move their body to music, and that’s really valuable.”
