Read on to see 5 ways Alexa PenaVega 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 Wants To Be Healthy

PenaVega opened up about her approach to wellness to Life & Style. She says that she makes sure to have the mindset of wanting to be healthy, rather than wanting to lose weight. “It’s so easy to fall into the mind-set of, ‘I’ve got to be skinny,’ but that’s stupid,” PenaVega says. “You don’t want to be skinny, you want to be fit! I think there’s a huge difference and also being fit takes work. It takes an effort and to be able to show, ‘You know what? I dedicated this time to improving myself every day,’ like it gives yourself value.”

2. She Sometimes Uses The Keto Diet

PenaVega and her family are all about moderation when it comes to food. She tells Life & Style that she alternates between the Keto diet and indulging. “What’s really worked for us is we really love Keto, and we were doing Keto for a couple of years, and it had just given us the most energy. We kind of try to avoid carbs anyway. So, we do everything in moderation — mainly a Keto diet where it’s just proteins and good fats, but then we’ll have trips where we just indulge.”

3. She Opened Up About Her Eating Disorder

While competing on Dancing With The Stars, PenaVega revealed that she had been struggling with an eating disorder. In an interview on Sadie Robertson’s podcast, she talked about how coming forward helped her. "The second I started talking about it and telling people, I was like breaking off all those chains, and then it just became this thing that no longer consumed me,” she explains. “My mom just said to me, 'You know, now people are only going to see her as being a bulimic. So, don't ever let anybody know that you're dealing with this. And I know she meant it in a way of protecting me, but I really feel like the enemy took those words and just turned it into something that had a stronghold over my life. So I just lived with a secret and it just tormented me for so long."

4. She Eliminates Foods That Give Her Trouble

PenaVega opened up about how she approaches eating while in recovery from bulimia on Instagram. In it, she says that she has had to limit gluten, as it gives her trouble. “There are certain foods that still give me some trouble… So for me… It is easier to eliminate those foods, so that my body absorbs all the nutrients I can get!”

5. She Doesn’t Care About Others Opinions

In the same Instagram post, PenaVega says that she doesn’t care what others think of her. “Whether you are choosing a ‘lifestyle’ choice for dietary conditions or because you want to is completely and totally up to you,” she writes. “And guess what? It’s totally fine!!!! So don’t let bitter people discourage you from being the healthiest version of YOU that you can be.”

It’s 2022! A new year. And these celebrities decided to start the year off with some swimsuit photos. Safe to say, they all looked great. Read on to see all the ways Jennifer Lopez, Eiza Gonzalez, Sarah Michelle Gellar and more stay 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. Jennifer Lopez

Lopez’s fitness secrets have been coveted by many. However, one of her secrets is pretty obvious. Lopez is an incredible dancer, and even started her career out as a “Fly Girl” dancer on the show In Living Color. "During aerobic activity, you repeatedly move large muscles in your arms, legs and hips. You'll notice your body's responses quickly," reports the Mayo Clinic. "You'll breathe faster and more deeply. This maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart will beat faster, which increases blood flow to your muscles and back to your lungs. Your small blood vessels (capillaries) will widen to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Your body will even release endorphins, natural painkillers that promote an increased sense of well-being."

2. Addison Rae

Addison Rae posed in a yellow bathing suit on the beach this week. With one look at her Instagram, you’ll know Rae is a big fan of going to the beach. She also loves to surf and swim when she’s there.

3. Elle Macpherson

Model Elle Macpherson lounged in the sun on her Instagram story this week, and she wore a stunning black bathing suit. Macpherson is on an Alkaline diet, which involves eating foods that affect your body’s pH levels. She told Vogue that this diet helped her clear up her skin. “What I’d always thought were sunspots – actually, they were sugar spots - started to clear, and my skin looked tighter, dewier, plumper,” she said. “I started to lose weight, probably because my sugar cravings had subsided. My digestion improved. I felt more emotionally balanced.”

4. Eiza Gonzalez

Actress Eiza Gonzalez posed on a boat on Instagram this week. She wore a light green and white patterned bathing suit with ruffles. When it comes to working out, Gonzalez says that she tries to get moving every day. "I like to keep moving every day, not necessarily 'work out' every day, but keep moving," González told Harper's BAZAAR Australia. "It doesn't have to be intense, just getting the body some blood flow and not staying stagnant."

5. Rita Ora

Rita Ora was “feeling 2022” when she posed in a strapless black bathing suit on the beach. When it comes to her fitness, Ora tells Shape that she has changed her approach to it. “I used to push myself until I felt sick. But I'm approaching it differently now. I enjoy working out. And I like the aftermath-that feeling of contentment."

6. Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has posted a lot of stunning swimsuit photos from her long honeymoon with her new husband, Carter Roem. Her most recent was of her posing in a black and white bathing suit top and skirt with a giant inflatable unicorn. Hilton is open about the fact that she doesn’t do traditional workouts. However, she tells Yahoo Life that she has a machine that helps her workout throughout her busy day. “When I’m getting a facial, I just lie there and this machine attaches to your body and is basically like doing a million sit-ups. You just lie down and relax, but your whole body’s being worked out the whole time. I think that’s an amazing hack for working out and not actually having to do anything.”

7. Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa has never been afraid to show off her petite figure, flat abs, and toned legs. She posted a new swimsuit photo on Instagram this week. When it comes to Lipa’s exercise routine, she tells The Urban List that she likes to try a lot of new things. She also says that she loves to try local workouts when she travels. “I love mixing up lots of different training, finding different workouts in whatever city I’m in, whether it’s yoga, Pilates, boxing or spinning. Whatever it is, I try to change it up every day to keep things interesting. When you’re on a tour bus, every day and every place is different, so you never know what you’re going to find. That’s always one way to keep it interesting.”

8. Bella Hadid

Model Bella Hadid and her friend Lauren Perez lounged on an inflatable float in the ocean this week. Both girls wore bathing suits, showing off their figures. When it comes to her diet, Hadid tells People that she has methods of eating healthy when she travels. “I like to eat healthy and not eat crazy plane food.”

9. Alessandra Ambrosio

Model Alessandra Ambrosio has never been afraid to post revealing photos on Instagram, and she’s posted a lot of swimsuit photos on her account. Despite being a model, Ambrosio says that she isn’t on any extreme diets. She tells The Edit that her diet is all about moderation. “I’m all about moderation and eating something different every day. Obviously I try not to splurge on pasta, but if I’m back in Brazil where everything is pasta- or bread-based — and so yummy — I’ll eat whatever I want, then go back to lots of salads and chicken or fish with veg as soon as I’m back in LA.”

10. Sarah Michelle Gellar

8. Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney Kardashian shared several swimsuit photos from her Cabo vacation with her fiance, Travis Barker.

9. Simone Biles

The Olympic gymnast posted a new beach photo of herself posing in the water in a pale pink bikini.

Alexa Dellanos is giving off mermaid vibes in her swimsuit. The influencer shows off her bombshell body in one of her latest social media posts, posing in a bathing suit by the pool. “Love feeling like a mermaid,” she captioned the gorgeous Instagram snap. “I love you my Ariel!!” commented one of her 10.7-plus million followers. “Angelic,” added another. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Alexa Dallanos 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 Went Under the Knife

Dellanos is open about her plastic surgery procedures, telling The Sun she has spent over $17,000 on enhancements. "I had my breast augmentation in 2018 for $15,000 and my lip fillers for approximately $2,000. I also enhanced my booty a little which I will discuss on my YouTube channel soon." She believes that the money was an investment, since her social following grew dramatically after going under the knife. “I had about 200,000 followers on Instagram before my cosmetic procedures and before I started working out regularly," Dellanos told Insider. "I believe both has contributed a lot to my success. Cosmetic enhancement isn't for everyone, but in my case it's been a motivation to better every aspect in my life — amongst my physical appearance."

2. She Exercises

Obviously, Alexa works out a lot. In a YouTube video she documents her go-to workouts when she's traveling. "Don't skip the gym," she says, proceeding to run on the treadmill, use the rowing machine, and then the stair climber. "I'm doing just a light travel workout," she explains.

3. She Hydrates

Alexa makes hydration a priority, especially when she is exercising "A little water break, after cardio," she says. "It's so important to stay hydrated while you're working out." According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

4. She Eats Vegan

Dellanos maintains a meat-free and animal product free diet. "I am vegan, so it's really hard, sometimes to find food in certain restaurants," she says in the YouTube video. "They actually offered me a whole vegan selection, like a special vegan menu.

5. She Likes to “Share Positive Energy”

"I've learnt to never let the attention get to my head because no matter how big or small you are online, you are still just human," Alexa told The Sun. "Although I enjoy posting sexy photos and luxury lifestyle posts, I also try to post things that truly matter. I want to share positive energy to everyone I meet and to anyone who looks at my life through social media."

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

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.

Love Island's Sophie Piper Is Living "Island Life"

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.”

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
