Anastasia Ashley is enjoying a beautiful vacation in Jamaica. The professional surfer and model shared pictures and video of herself soaking up the sun on holiday, wearing a variety of bathing suits and swimsuits. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ashley 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. Varied Workouts

Ashley mixes up her workouts and keeps them interesting. “I’m in the gym every day I’m not at the beach, doing a mix of cardio and strength-training, such as squats on the Bosu ball, leg lifts and lunges,” she says. “I love spin classes as well — listening to blaring music and getting super-sweaty.”

2. No Processed Foods

Ashley makes a point of avoiding ultra processed foods. “Most Americans eat a diet rich in heavily processed foods which have been made from synthetic ingredients, and packed with fat, sugar, sodium, chemicals, preservatives, food dyes and other additives your body doesn’t quite know what to do with,” says Eileen Dutter, RD. “These additional items may be detrimental to your overall health and well-being.”

3. Coffee First Thing

Ashley always starts her day with coffee and cream. “Both regular and decaf coffee seem to have a protective effect on your liver,” says Johns Hopkins Medicine. “Research shows that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzyme levels within a healthy range than people who don’t drink coffee.”

4. Big Breakfast

Ashley doesn't skimp when it comes to breakfast—she enjoys fruit, potatoes, waffles, and eggs. “Breakfast-eating kids and adults get more fiber, calcium, vitamins A and C, riboflavin, zinc, and iron in their diets than breakfast-skippers," according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. “The first meal of the day can help keep weight gain away, so don’t skip breakfast to manage your weight.”

5. Swimming

As a pro surfer, Ashley is of course a skilled and confident swimmer. “Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses,” says the CDC. “This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease.”

While Serhant is not a vegan, her diet is pretty close to one.

Alex Scott, the celebrated soccer star and sports commentator, is embracing the summer season in her stunning bathing suit. With a striped swimsuit accentuating her amazing body, Alex shares her vibrant spirit in the latest social media post, accompanied by the caption, "Cheers." But what's her secret to staying in such incredible shape? In this captivating read, we uncover five key practices that keep Alex Scott fit, supported by captivating photos that demonstrate their effectiveness. 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

65th GRAMMY Awards - ArrivalsAmy Sussman/Getty Images

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."

Gogglebox star Sylwia Bomba is enjoying a sunny vacation in beautiful Turkey. Bomba shared pictures of herself posing outside in a brown bikini with a cheetah-print cover up, wearing a big smile. “Good morning ☀️ There is no shortage of reasons to smile here ☺️ we are in Turkey once again and we are happy to come back here,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bomba 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. Training Every Day

Bomba makes a point of getting exercise every day. “I train every day. On Tuesdays we go to the swimming pool with [daughter] Tosia, on Wednesdays we go to the dance, on Thursdays we go to the playground, etc,” she says. “I exercise every day.”

2. Working Out First Thing

Bomba likes to get her workout out of the way first thing in the morning. “Morning workouts help reduce the possibility for obstacles to present themselves,” says Jasmin Theard, ACSM HFS, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “There is also less opportunity to make excuses. When you get up and exercise, you establish a healthier mindset, which makes you more mindful of what you eat during the day."

3. She’s Done the Keto Diet

Bomba says following a ketogenic diet helped her lose weight. “When I said I was on a ketogenic diet, I got a [lot of] buzz,” she says. “However, it serves me well, I don't have stomach problems, I fit into such a nice dress and I feel good.”

4. Skiing Trips

Bomba loves skiing with her family. “We never went skiing as a child even though I always wanted to,” she captioned an Instagram post. “My parents just didn't like it. Most of my friends from school usually spent their holidays skiing. Today I am a mom and tears of emotion flowed down my cheek when Tosia (3 years old) put on skis for the first time and went down the slope.”

5. Moving Throughout the Day

Even when Bomba is not actively training at the gym, she makes a point to move every day. “I just try to stick to my diet and do it intensively,” she says. “I use every possible opportunity to move. I give Tosia a bicycle and then I run after her. I believe that any move is better than none. So if I get a chance to practice with Mel B in front of the TV, I do it.”

Anastasia Ashley is hanging 10 – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the professional surfer-slash-model shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit, in addition to her mad surfing skills. “Afternoon surf,” she captioned the Instagram Reel. How does the athlete and poser maintain her famously fit physique? Here are some of her top health habits compiled by Celebwell.


1. She Works Out Every Day

“I’m in the gym every day I’m not at the beach, doing a mix of cardio and strength-training, such as squats on the Bosu ball, leg lifts and lunges. I love spin classes as well — listening to blaring music and getting super-sweaty,” Anastasia tells Men’s Fitness. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

2. She Eats Clean

Anastasia eats clean. “Stay away from processed foods. If it didn’t come from the earth, it’s not meant to be in your body,” she says about her top diet rule. "According to the Department of Agriculture, processed food are any raw agricultural commodities that have been washed, cleaned, milled, cut, chopped, heated, pasteurized, blanched, cooked, canned, frozen, dried, dehydrated, mixed or packaged — anything done to them that alters their natural state. This may include adding preservatives, flavors, nutrients and other food additives, or substances approved for use in food products, such as salt, sugars and fats," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Surfs

Obviously, surfing helps Anastasia stay in shape. “Surfing is a full-body workout. When you're riding the board and balancing, you use your legs for balance and stability. And because you're always squatting, which is an uncomfortable and abnormal body position, it challenges your butt and legs,” she tells Cosmopolitan.

4. She Walks on an Incline

Anastasia walks on an incline. “While cardio alone won't keep you toned, I walk on a treadmill at a high incline, climb on the StairMaster, and do lots of quick intervals,” she told Cosmopolitan. “With the incline walking, I'll do 12 to 15 incline at a 3 to 4 mile-per-hour pace. Even if you jog or run for five minutes on a super high incline, it's still pretty hard!”

5. She Spins

Anastasia rides bikes. “I also love doing spinning. I'm a Flywheel fan. It's the best workout overall, and it gets you motivated and competitive,” she adds. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
