From her early morning routine to boxing sessions, invigorating runs, nourishing breakfast choices, and her newfound love for dance fitness, Alex's journey inspires and motivates readers to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle.


1. She Wkaes Up Early

Alex is an early riser. “'Most mornings I wake up – I'm an early bird – at 7 o'clock or around that time,” she told Women’s Health. “I try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night but we all know that with life the way it is, sometimes it doesn't happen.” Mist days she doesn’t even need an alarm. “The strange thing is, I set my alarm but something in my brain tells me if I have to wake up at a certain time, I wake up before my alarm goes off. I don't know why. I literally look at my phone and think, "Oh, I've got to be up in 5 minutes!’”

2. She Boxes

Right after she wakes up, Alex breaks a sweat. “I love exercising first thing in the morning,” she told Women’s Health. “I would normally get up and, if I'm going to my boxing class, [I'll] be there by 8 am.”

3. She Runs

Another way she likes to exercise? “I've been doing 5k runs a lot recently. Music on and just run,” she added to Women’s Health. “I've actually just got into the habit of listening to a podcast while I'm running. I always used to think it was strange and I was like ‘How do people do that?’ when actually it helps you get through the run and by the end of it, you've either learned about someone, their personality, their character or learned something new about life.”

4. She Eats Breakfast

“I don't have a specific time when I eat breakfast,” Alex told Women’s Health. “If I'm going to work out it takes me a while after my workout to go and get a green juice or scrambled eggs – I do love scrambled egg on toast and avocado. I tried to get into the whole coffee thing but it really isn't me. I love my tea – no sugar, not too weak, not too strong.”

5. She Dances

After competing in Strictly Come Dancing, Scott has a love for dance fitness. "We create so many negative associations with fitness, but just make it fun," she told the Telegraph. "If you hate running, don't do it. Find a local park fitness class and go with some friends instead. Cycle to work. Find pockets of time to do little bits of fitness here and there. Thanks to Strictly I've fallen in love with dancing, so I'll be looking for a dance class that I can do once a week. I've lost so much weight during the show – I've been eating loads during training, but dancing just blitzes calories."

1. She Stands Up For Herself

Humber isn’t afraid of standing up for herself. After being criticized for her appearance on Below Deck, Humber responded in this Instagram post. “Picture evidence of me being an aggressive, bossy black woman. Valuing actions, dialogue and consent. It felt like somewhat of a human sacrifice throwing my 22 year old self into a reality tv show. Thank you god for removing my fear of failure and judgment, truly everything missing was on the other side.”

2. She’s Grateful

Grateful,Word,Written,On,Wood,Block.,Grateful,Text,On,Table,Shutterstock

After her departure from Below Deck, Humber opened up about her relationship with Captain Sandy Yawn on Watch What Happens Live. She says that despite everything, she is grateful for the experience. “[The] status is no status,” she said. “Last time we checked up, she was just my captain and now she’s just my ex-captain. But yeah, no, I think about her often, and honestly, she taught me some very hard lessons that nobody’s been able to teach me in my 22 years before the show. And I’m grateful for her.”

3. She Roller Skates

Humber does a lot of outdoor activities to stay in shape. One thing she likes to do is go roller skating. She did some skating at the beginning of the year. Humber shared these photos on Instagram from the day. She captioned the post, “January 1st.” Skating can help with balance and coordination.

4. She Spends Time Outside

Humber spends a lot of time outside. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the great outdoors. Humber shared this video of herself spending time at the beach. She captioned it, “Miss Jill Scott.” She also shared this video of herself seeing a ray in the ocean, captioning it, “Someone special danced for me this morning. Beauty queen spotted ray looped back around to hang out and wave hello.”

5. She Swims

Humber spends a lot of time by the water. Naturally, she likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this set of videos on Instagram of a trip she took to Saint Barthelemy. In one, she took a dip in the water. She captioned the post, “Trying to capture the moment.” Humber also posted these photos of herself in the pool. She captioned the post, “Did the impossible.”

Professional soccer player and Strictly Come Dancing star Alex Scott makes working out look like fun—and all her hard work clearly pays off. Scott posted photos of herself wearing a bathing suit and hat in the sunshine, while enjoying a good book. “Reading time 🤓,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Scott 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. Exercise Must Be Fun

Scott strongly believes that exercise should be something you thoroughly enjoy. “It was ingrained in me from eight years old to fuel my body properly,” she told the Telegraph. “And I missed that teenage thing of partying and drinking, because of football. Now I advise friends and my mum what to do when they want to lose weight – with exercise, it has to be fun and easily slotted into your daily routine. Last year, I left my dog with my mum for a few weeks. Having to go out every day and walk it helped her lose weight without even thinking about it.”

2. She Loves Dancing

Scott has discovered a passion for dance since competing in Strictly Come Dancing.“We create so many negative associations with fitness, but just make it fun,” she says. “If you hate running, don’t do it. Find a local park fitness class and go with some friends instead. Cycle to work. Find pockets of time to do little bits of fitness here and there. Thanks to Strictly I’ve fallen in love with dancing, so I’ll be looking for a dance class that I can do once a week. I’ve lost so much weight during the show – I’ve been eating loads during training, but dancing just blitzes calories.”

3. She Drinks Lots of Tea

Like a true Brit, Scott is passionate about her daily “cuppa”. “I tried to get into the whole coffee thing but it really isn't me. I love my tea. No sugar, not too weak, not too strong,” she told Women’s Health. "Tea consumption, especially green tea, may not be the magic bullet, but it can be incorporated in an overall healthy diet with whole grains, fish, fruits and vegetables, and less red and processed meat," says Qi Sun, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.

4. She’s An Early Bird

“Most mornings I wake up (I'm an early bird!) at 7 o'clock,” Scott says. “I try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night but we all know with life the way it is sometimes it doesn't happen.” Getting up early (assuming you’ve had enough sleep) is linked to a number of health benefits. “We know that exposure to sunlight has an impact on our moods,” says psychotherapist Michele Miller, LCSW. “For example, looking at seasonal affective disorder, it’s the longer, darker days that lead people to feel depressed and less energized—so, getting up earlier allows you to experience more daylight, which could make you feel more energized.”

5. She Loves to Run

Scott incorporates long runs out in the fresh air into her morning routine. “I love exercising first thing in the morning, so I would normally get up, if I'm going to my boxing class I'm normally there by 8am or I get up and I've been doing 5k runs a lot recently which I really love, music on and just run. I prefer to go to a class because I find it fun, or I go running outside.” Running is one of the most simple yet effective workouts you can do, experts say. “All you need is a pair of shoes and some time,” says Anu Gaba, MD, an oncologist at the Sanford Roger Maris Cancer Center in Fargo, North Dakota. “Even if you only have 15 or 20 minutes, that’s a good place to start.”

6. She Enjoys Scrambled Eggs

The timing of breakfast depends on Scott’s workouts, but she definitely has some go-to’s. “I don't have a specific time when I eat breakfast. If I'm going to work out it takes me a while after my workout to then either go and get a green juice, or scrambled egg— I do love scrambled egg on toast, and avocado,” Scott says. Eggs are a great choice for a healthy breakfast, experts say. “Eggs are rich in protein, which is more filling than either fat or carbohydrate,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “As a food choice, eggs score well, being high on the satiety index, a measure of how filling a food is. In fact, studies show that an egg breakfast is more sustaining than the equivalent calorie counted carb breakfast and, what’s more, may help reduce your calorie intake later in the day.”

1. She Was a Cheerleader

Rachel was a cheerleader growing up! She attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where she was on the Division I cheerleading squad. Cheerleading is very similar to gymnastics and is a great full body workout.

2. She Drinks Coffee

Rachel loves starting her morning with a cup of coffee. “Daydreaming about mornings in this gorgeous city,” she captioned a snap of herself with her morning cup of Joe. A 2022 study published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.

3. She Goes Rowing

Rachel is always happy to pick up a paddle and row a boat, a great arm workout. “So happy to get the opportunity to share the people and place I love with all of you 🤍 Also, fun fact, I was born and raised in Chicago and only moved to Florida when I was a teenager,” she captioned one of her posts.

4. This Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Rachel’s ABC bio reveals that she is "as a hopeless romantic” and “looking for someone who is as playful, passionate and spontaneous as she is. He should be nurturing, empathetic and MUST be respectful in all facets of life—to her, to family, and especially to waiters." It also reveals that she loves Flamin’ Hot Cheetos!

5. She Works Hard

Rachel, a pilot, is determined to succeed in life and is willing to put in the work. “As a woman, I have to work harder and I have to prove myself more every single day,” she told Clayton, per Entertainment Weekly. "Investment in women’s health results in a healthier population overall. Companies that offer comprehensive support for women’s health have higher productivity, better retention of female employees, and most importantly, they help improve health outcomes for women," says Harvard Health.

As a reality TV contestant, Carolina Santos knows how to get attention, and her social media is proof of that. The Married At First Sight star posted a photo of herself posing against a brick wall in a tiny yellow bikini, captioning the shot “That sun glow ☀️💛.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Santos 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 Loves Cheese and Wine

Santos says cheese and wine is “the way to my heart”. When it comes to dairy, experts say the less processed, the better. Opt for less processed dairy products – think flavorful cheeses like Parmesan, feta or part-skim mozzarella instead of processed American slices, and plain Greek yogurt instead of high-sugar flavored varieties,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD.

2. She Loves to Jet Ski

Jodi Gordon Attends Life Botanics LaunchDon Arnold/WireImage

Santos loves to get out on the ocean on a jet ski when she gets the chance. “Jet ski is a great exercise; you burn a lot of calories, get some cardiovascular work, learn how to maintain proper balance, release a lot of stress, and you can even work many different muscle groups,” says Tim Conner, MD. “The most important thing is that this activity is also fun, which has mental health benefits.”

3. She Enjoys Swimming

Santos likes to swim both in the pool and out in the ocean. “Swimming has long been recognized for its cardiovascular benefits,” says Seena Mathew, Assistant Professor of Biology at The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. “Because swimming involves all of the major muscle groups, the heart has to work hard, which increases blood flow throughout the body. This leads to the creation of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. The greater blood flow can also lead to a large release of endorphins—hormones that act as a natural pain reducer throughout the body. This surge brings about the sense of euphoria that often follows exercise.”

4. She Loves Lobster

Santos loves to treat herself to some delicious lobster when she’s on vacation. “Lobster provides a significant amount of minerals, such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and potassium, as well as B vitamins,” says Faye L. Dong, PhD, professor emerita, department of food science and human nutrition, University of Illinois. “If you eat lobster one day a week and a fattier fish like salmon one or two times a week, you’ll have your omega-3 intake covered for the week,” says Eric Rimm, ScD, professor of epidemiology and nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

5. She Drinks Beer

Santos likes to indulge in an ice-cold Heineken once in a while. “Beer contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of the amino-acid homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease,” says Jim Collins, PhD. “People with higher levels of homocysteine tend to be at higher risk of an earlier onset of heart and vascular disease. Almost everything we eat or drink can provide health benefits as long as they are consumed in moderation.”

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 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.”

Here is everything you need to know about her approach to longevity

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

She Tries to Get Enough Sleep

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

She Exercises in the Morning

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

She Hydrates

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons.
