Bollywood superstar Amy Jackson is enjoying the dramatic landscapes of Alula, Saudi Arabia. Jackson posted a series of photos of herself posing against the desert backdrop, wearing a black swimsuit as she lounged on an outdoors floor couch. “Meanwhile on Mars 😍,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jackson 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. Working Out With Trainers

Jackson does a variety of workouts and exercises to prevent getting bored. “I change this up every day, because otherwise it can get repetitive and boring,” she says. “I have two trainers, Lee Mullins and Bradley Simmonds, who I work out with over Zoom or Instagram. Lee’s sessions are all about toning and sculpting, while I do intense, energetic HIIT workouts with Bradley. He’s currently running them daily on Instagram for anyone who wants to get involved. When it’s just me, I love using the Alo Moves app, which has hundreds of classes and trainers to choose from.”

2. Vegan Diet

Jackson is vegan and likes to get creative with plant-based dishes. “For lunch I’ll rustle up a quinoa bowl with spinach, broccoli, hummus, avocado, tomatoes and courgettes, drizzled with a homemade lemon and honey dressing,” she says. “Studies suggest that honey might offer antidepressant, anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety benefits,” says the Mayo Clinic. “In some studies, honey has been shown to help prevent memory disorders.”

3. Meditation Every Day

Jackson makes a point of meditating before every morning and every evening before bed. “Meditation might also improve sleep directly, even in people not experiencing heightened stress or pain,” says Michael Breus, PhD, a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and a Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “Whether you are facing worries or not, meditation can induce a relaxation response that might help prepare for sleep. People who meditate also experience changes in brain activity, which carry over into sleep.”

4. Hot Water With Lemon and Ginger

Jackson enjoys hot water with lemon, ginger, and honey in the mornings. Ginger contains anti-inflammatory compounds which can help with pain relief. “[Ginger is] beneficial for inflammatory-related conditions and pain relief, specifically menstrual cramps and also arthritis-based conditions,” says Candace O’Neill RD, LDN. “When you take over-the-counter pain medication, it helps in an instant. Researchers studying the effects of ginger found the spice has a delayed effect. In a few days, people may anecdotally say, ‘You know what, I feel like I’m in less pain.'”

5. Collagen Supplements

Jackson takes supplements as part of her wellness regimen. “I take several supplements each day, including vegan collagen powder for strengthening my skin and Ashwagandha tablets, an Indian Ayurvedic herb that helps boost energy levels and reduce stress,” she says. “I also take a spoonful of Manuka honey as a powerful antioxidant.”

However, even with such terrible news, I felt an extreme amount of peace and energy instilled that allowed me to remain strong. I’ve been in and out of visits to specialists every day and the storm is not over but this experience is changing me. I am working with a phenomenal team of physicians and I appreciate the outpouring of support. I have not been diagnosed as yet so please keep me in prayer,” she continued. “I know God has a plan and I know we are often challenged to remain humbled that tomorrow is not promised and that our days on this earth are numbered. A message from my heart. A gentle reminder to Live, Love & Forgive as if today was your last.” The next month she gave an update that no cancer was found.

"Think about the parts of your life that work well. Remember the skills you've used to cope with challenges," says the Mayo Clinic. "Be kind and encouraging to yourself. Instead of thinking a situation won't go well, focus on the positive."

Love Island star Laura Anderson currently lives in Dubai. Which means she gets to experience the city’s amazing weather and attractions every day. Anderson just posted a stunning new bikini photo to Instagram. In it, she posed in a maroon bathing suit, showing off her body and tan. She captioned the photo, “I had nothing to post 🙈 ( as I’m secretly filming something hilarious 🤫) So, here’s me in sunny Dubai while I’m really sat here in London freezing my" backside "off. Happy Sunday 🤎.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Laura Anderson 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 Yoga

One of the ways Anderson stays in shape is by practicing yoga. She posted this series of photos of herself in the dancer pose, and doing a heel stretch on Instagram, for International Yoga Day. She captioned it, “Would you get up at 6:30 am for this view?”

2. She Doesn’t Let Her Age Define Her

Anderson opened up about her experience on Love Island in an interview with Cosmopolitan. She says that while she was on the show, she got a lot of criticism for her age. However, she says that she doesn’t let it define her and prevent her from doing certain things. “I think one thing that was mentioned a lot from Love Island that was a little bit of a misunderstanding is my age and the stigma around being too old or looking a certain way. I just want to say to all woman out there, there are no rules, age is just a number so look, feel and be whoever you want to be and whenever you want!”

3. She Doesn’t Judge People

National Television Awards 2020 - VIP ArrivalsDave Benett/Getty Images

Anderson tells Cosmopolitan that one of the things she loves about Love Island is getting to see people evolve. She encourages viewers of the show, or any reality TV show, to not judge people at first, as she does. “I know a lot of people view reality TV and specifically Love Island as quite a superficial show but for me it’s the opposite. I think being in there really teaches young people to see past appearances and even for the viewer to not judge a book by its cover.”

4. She Jet Skis

Anderson is a big fan of going to the beach. One of the things that she likes to do when she’s there is to ride jet skis. Anderson posted this video on Instagram of herself jet skiing in Burj Al Arab. She captioned the post, “Flying into the weekend like.” She also posted this set of photos from the same day, captioning them, “Best day ever.”

5. She Strength Trains

She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing deadlifts, with the caption, “I don’t know about you but working out has saved me during this isolation.” She also posted this strength training video, captioning it, “Being told what to do isn’t my strong point.”

Read on to see 5 ways Amy Hart 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 Goes On Wellness Retreats

Hart shares a lot of her wellness secrets on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is go on retreats. She opened up about her experience at a retreat on her account. “I went on holiday to a health retreat and have had thousands of messages with questions and encouragement, asking to follow my journey…My skin is glowing, I'm less bloated, I toned up through lots of fun exercise classes with friends. I had the best time on what is a slightly out there holiday so wanted to share!”

2. She Calls Out Body Shamers

Hart unfortunately has had to deal with haters on social media. In particular, she’s dealt with body shaming. Hart isn’t afraid of calling them out, and did so on Instagram. “In what parallel universe would you go up to a stranger in the street and tell them they look pathetic and ill, before or too thin,” she writes. “Luckily for me it's not (I don't get it very often) - I enjoy wine and takeaways too much!) but it's actually very offensive to some people.”

3. She Does Outdoor Activities

Hart did a lot of outdoor activities on her wellness retreat. She opened up about what she did to stay in shape on Instagram. “Hauled myself out of bed everyday for a hike between 5-11km sometimes in a 5kg vest... Jumped in a river... Has a reset ready to come home and start a new chapter! All in all a successful week!! Thanks so much to @jasonvale for an amazing concept. Can’t wait to come back!!”

4. She Wants To Change Standards

Hart opened up about the intense working out and dieting she felt like she had to do prior to Love Island on an episode of Embarrassing Bodies. Hart says that she wants to change body and beauty standards in society, and is a part of an Instagram campaign to help with this. “I thought I needed to do that to be attractive to the boys that would be in the villa. We've been conditioned that thinner is prettier and that's wrong. There shouldn't be one body type that is beautiful. I think people need to realise that your dream body should just be your own body."

5. She Cooks

Hart is an avid chef, and she likes to use healthy ingredients in her meals. She shared this video on Instagram revealing her beef recipe. She captioned the post, “SLOW COOKER BEEF. 🥩 😋 One of my fave dinners because it’s hearty, yummy and full of real ingredients 😍 ingredients are: (Serves 4) 1kg Casserole Steak (last time I used really expensive ribeye, but honestly, the cheaper casserole stuff, about £3 a pack, works so much better!) Bag of casserole veg. Soy Sauce, Red Wine, Water, Worcestershire Sauce, Salt, Pepper, Garlic and Herb Seasoning to taste. 2 beef stock cubes. I also added dumplings.”

1. She Knows It’s “Crunch Time”

Alessandra Ambrosio knows her way around a gym, doing crunches, working with resistance bands and weights and using kettlebells. "Crunch time... 🍏‼️💪," she wrote, captioning one workout. Here’s a superset with a crunch you can do, from trainer Mark Langowski:

1. High Plank with Opposite Arm/Leg Extension and Crunch

Get into a pushup position with your arms extended. Lift your left foot off the ground and, at the same time, lift your right hand and extend your right arm out in front of you. Now bend your left knee and your right elbow and bring them both underneath you, and try to touch them together. Place your left foot and right hand back on the floor, and repeat the move with your right foot and left hand. Continue to alternate for one minute.

2. Flutter Kicks and Criss Crosses

Lie on your back and place your hands under your hips for support. Straighten your legs and lift both feet a few inches off the floor. Now flutter your feet up and down, in opposition to one another for 30 seconds. Without stopping, change direction, criss-crossing your feet sideways over and under one another for another 30 seconds.

2. She Eats Clean

“It is very important for me to eat ‘clean,’” she has said. “This principle has its roots in my Brazilian childhood. I try to eat everything that is fresh and seasonal, to keep the balance of food groups in the diet. I also instill this approach in children: even if they eat a bunch of sweets, I make sure that their diet remains balanced. I can also easily allow myself something like that - a cupcake, ice cream or fries, for example. It's only better to keep yourself in control and, if possible, try to balance such a set with healthier and more nutritious foods.”

3. She Says “Be the Best You Can Be”

“Every woman has a different metabolism and different genetics, so rather than compete with one another, concentrate on yourself and be the best you can be. Everyone has days when they don’t want to show anything. That’s what the good ol’ jeans and T-shirt are for. So many times, I haven’t felt ready for shoots. I’m like, why didn’t I work out more? It’s life.” she has said.

4. She Says “Live Like You’re On Vacation”

Can’t go to St. Barths? Pretend. “‘Forever on vacation’ is my motto,” she has said. “It’s just the way I take life. Nothing makes me feel that pissed off or out of control. Whatever I do, whether I;m modeling or doing my clothing line, ale by Allesandra, I just want to feel like it’s fun. If you’re doing something you don’t like, you’re wasting time. Life is short. There is so much to see and do and feel. We should enjoy every moment."

5. She Loves Those Kids

Of course Allesandra had a family vacation. "[My kids] always come first, so I try to spend as much time as possible with them," she told Glamour years ago. "Sometimes that means rearranging my schedule or bringing them on set." She added: "I love that I get to travel the world and discover so many different new places and cultures. Making time for everything can be challenging, but I enjoy what I do, so I make it happen."

In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand. Dressed in a sleek black workout set, she didn’t just make the workout look effortless—she made it look empowering. Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

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. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023

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.”
