Read on to see 5 ways Anastasia 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. She Surfs

Naturally, Ashley’s main source of fitness is surfing. She talked about the effect surfing has on her body to Cosmopolitan. “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.”

2. She Does Cardio

Ashley revealed some of her favorite exercises to Cosmopolitan. “I'm in the gym usually every day and do a lot of specific exercises for legs to keep them strong,” she says. “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. 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!”

3. She Warms Up

Ashley makes sure to warm up, especially before she competes. “Before an event, I try to get my heart rate up by jumping around, running in place, and stretching,” she tells Cosmopolitan. “I don't want to run up and down the beach because when I go into a heat, it's 15 to 20 minutes of nonstop intensity. You don't want to go into that tired. I just want to get the blood flowing to get ready. I'm not dancing in my mind; I'm in my own world. I just bounce around to get loose. I just kind of vibe.”

4. She’s Consistent

Ashley makes sure to make fitness a priority. She tells Guest Of A Guest that she makes sure to workout on a regular basis. “I make time for fitness and put it as a priority, and do something active every day even if I'm traveling or in a hotel. My girl favorite workouts are taking a spin class, and doing Pilates. I like group classes because it's always more fun working out with a friend or having other people around to motivate me!”

5. She Wants To Inspire Others

Being a female pro surfer, Ashley wants to inspire young girls out there. "I want to be out there and show you can be a strong, fearless, independent athlete and be a woman,” she says to Refinery29. “Growing up, it wasn’t a cool thing to be a female athlete or a female surfer. It taught me to be strong and do what I love.”

Hawaiian surfing champion Anastasia Ashley previously said she is not into the cold—but this time she’s making an exception to go snowboarding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Ashley, 37, shared a video of herself wearing purple leggings and a matching cropped tank top, layering more and more clothes on top of her outfit. “Getting ready for snowboarding means a ton of gear 😝,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Ashley’s many favorite workouts look like.

1. Her Favorite Workouts

Ashley’s favorite workouts aside from surfing are racing and spinning. “I love spinning—I think it is one of the best workouts besides surfing,” she told Surfer.com. “I try and go to the gym Equinox, they have the best classes. I love driving, even though I'm not the best car driver (haha). I like to go out to the desert and drive dune buggies in the sand dunes. I also like to get my race on at K-1 Racing. It's an indoor kart racing course with gas powered cars.”

2. Healthy Hawaiian/Asian Food

Ashley genuinely enjoys healthy foods, especially fresh produce and Hawaiian/Asian cuisine. “I try to eat really healthy,” she told Surfer.com. “I'm not really a fan of junk food or anything super processed. I eat Sambazon Acai all the time. It's a great pre-surf meal. One of my favorite places to eat is Captain Mauris in San Clemente. They have really great fresh squeezed juices and salads. I also love Hapa J's as well. They have great Hawaiian/Asian inspired food and a fun atmosphere.”

3. Bikinis, Not Wetsuits

Ashley will always choose a bikini over a wetsuit. “The more fitness I do, the more energy I feel. I love going to group workouts with friends,” she told The Purist Online. “I’ve done my share of Barry’s Bootcamp and kickboxing. I also love hiking or biking. The more fitness I do, the more energy I feel. I like to surf in warmer water. When I’m in a wetsuit, I know I’m on the wrong beach.

4. Twerking Warm Ups

Ashley is infamous for her cheeky twerking warm ups before hitting the surf. “I definitely like to zone out and get excited by making a great playlist and blasting my headphones,” she told Guest of a Guest. “I try not to talk to anyone and focus. I like to do jumping jacks, stretches, and get loosened up for the events, and I'm known to get lost and dance a little!”

5. Role Model For Next Generation

Ashley didn’t have many role models growing up—but she wants that to change. "I want to be out there and show you can be a strong, fearless, independent athlete and be a woman," she told Refinery29. "Growing up, it wasn’t a cool thing to be a female athlete or a female surfer. It taught me to be strong and do what I love.”

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.

Piper is all about supporting other women and the choices they make. She tells Grazia that while she personally wouldn’t get plastic surgery, she’d support others who do. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she says. “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.”

2. She Swims

Piper spends a lot of time at the beach. Naturally, she likes to go swimming as a way of staying in shape. Piper posts a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. She shared this photo of herself floating on her back. Piper captioned it, “Float like a butterfly.”

Piper captioned it, “Sunday morning.” Harvard Health reports avocados have a lot of benefits. “Avocados are a good source of fiber, and contain more fat (the good kind) than carbohydrate, so are popular on lower-carbohydrate diets such as with diabetes. Their heart-friendly fats do not increase blood cholesterol, which can provide satisfaction on a traditional cholesterol-lowering diet that is often low in fat and cholesterol. It is one the highest-fat plant foods, making it a popular inclusion in vegan and vegetarian diets. The slightly earthy but neutral flavor of avocados works well in sauces, salad dressings, sandwiches, baked goods, salads, and grain dishes to add richness.”
