Andrea Torres, the Filipina actress, is no stranger to posting swimsuit photos on social media. She’s currently spending time on the beaches in Coron, Palawan (in the Philippines), and she’s making time to pose for photos. Torres posted three new photos on Instagram of herself on the beach. She wore a red one-piece, showing off her body. Torres captioned the post, “Finally back at the beach!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Andrea Torres 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’s Motivated By Food

Everyone has their own motivations for wanting to work out and stay in shape. For Torres, it’s the possibility of enjoying her favorite indulgences. She tells GTalk that cheat days are her biggest motivation to stay in shape. “Like I work out six times a week so that I can eat on Sundays, I can eat sweets, I can eat bread, anything I want,”

2. She Embraces Her Body’s Changes

In a revealing Instagram post, Torres opened up about her journey with self-acceptance. She says that she is embracing her body at all sizes, no matter what. “I learned the hard way is that your body will inevitably undergo changes & you can’t stop it,” she wrote. “As you go along your journey, there will be more to discover & understand. Your body will start to react differently,your needs will change so you might need to step out of your routine & reassess.”

3. She Goes Outside

Torres loves to spend time in the great outdoors. Her Instagram feed is littered with photos of herself enjoying time outside. She posted this photo of herself on a porch swing in the forest, captioning it, “Ah nature, you truly are my sanctuary.” She also posted this photo of herself ice skating at the Cosmopolitan.

4. She Does Workouts She Hates

Torres is open to doing all types of workouts. Even ones that she’s not the biggest fan of. She tells GTalk that she hates doing ab exercises, but still does them often. “I hate ab exercises but I have to do it talaga until it hurts and parang you have cramps.” This is clearly working for her, as she’s got an impressive set of abs.

5. She Indulges In Her Cravings

Torres tells GTalk that she doesn’t believe in depriving herself and going on restrictive diets. “You’re gonna mess up because that’s so far away,” she says. Torres also says that she has one cheat day a week to indulge herself, and then for the rest of the week, she finds herself not craving unhealthy food. “In the morning, first thing I eat three cookies, then I eat ice cream, crispy pata, burger, talagang the whole day I treat myself then the next six days I’m good.”

1. She Swims

Cifuentes loves to go to the beach and the pool. She shares a lot of beach and pool photos on her Instagram. She loves to swim as a way to stay in shape. Cifuentes shared this photo of herself wading in the ocean and using a tree branch to support her. She also shared this photo of herself in a pool, captioning it, “In a movie.”

2. She Walks

She shared these photos on Instagram of herself walking on 23rd Street in New York City. Cifuentes captioned the post, “Keep walking.” She also shared these photos of herself in Washington Square Park, captioning it, “Winter.”

3. She Savors Her Happiness

Cifuentes is all about feeling happy. She makes sure to savor the moments. Cifeuentes talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “What is good today, may not be tomorrow,” she writes. “There is the value of the moment, there is the perfect present. The opportunity comes to you, you'll see if you ride it. Hold on tight, don't let go. Laugh... Weeps that each one has his time. Laugh... Cry, live your life, enjoy it all.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

Baths have a lot of benefits, according to this post from The Cleveland Clinic. “Taking baths has great physical and mental health benefits,” family medicine provider, Amy Zack, MD, says to the clinic. “One benefit is cleanliness. Bathing cleans your skin, helping you avoid irritation, inflammation and sores caused by dead skin cell accumulation. The bacterial and fungal load from contact in your environment can also accumulate, increasing the risk of infection.”

3. She Hikes

In it, she spent time at the beach, as the sun went down. She wore a black and white patterned swimsuit and sunglasses, showing off her figure. How does she stay so fit?

1. She’s Determined

Sabatini opened up about her career in an interview with Teleshow. She says that she has a lot of determination, and has learned from her past experiences. “At first, everything that happened with my music was really nice. Later on, it became a bit difficult for me: to have perseverance, to continue being in the studio. It was hard for me to find the contacts to have that follow-up that all artists have nowadays. Everything happens for a reason and if this moment in my career didn't happen before, it's because it didn't have to happen. And I'm really glad that it happened to me now, because I feel more prepared.”

2. She Makes Time For Personal Relationships

Sabatini tells Teleshow that she makes time for herself and her personal relationships. “Once a person told me that to be number one, you have to be alone,” she says. “Be you and you, and nothing else. A bit of the taboo that if you do well at work, you can't do well in love. It is something that I was very afraid of because many people in the industry have made me think that to be successful you have to leave everything and not have a personal life. But at some point in your life work ends, what do you have left after? For me the most important thing in life is my personal relationships and then comes work.”

3. She’s Working On Herself

Sabatini opened up about her journey with self-improvement to Teleshow. She says that she is focusing on therapy and trying new methods. “We all have pain. One out there believes that she is working on it, but when you work on it on a spiritual level, little things are unlocked that, speaking, are not unlocked. That's why I like to try therapies.”

4. She Goes To The Beach

Sabatini loves to go to the beach, as her last Instagram story post proves. She also shares a lot of photos on her page of herself by the water. Sabatini shared these photos of herself sitting on a board. She also posted this photo of her and a friend about to go swimming. Sabatini captioned it, “Tamo ready.”

5. She Dances

Being a singer, Sabatini has to learn choreography. She shares a lot of videos on Instagram of herself in the studio or a class. She posted this video of herself doing a combination with two other performers. Sabatini captioned it, “With two talented @johannvera and @kevinroldankr.”

Right now, I feel very good. I want to know if they are doing physical activity or abandoned everything until next year”

5. She Swims

Rivas loves to spend time in the water. She shared this photo of herself going for a swim in a pool in Punta del Este, Uruguay, on Instagram. Rivas captioned it, “First day of the ATR perri year! If I could only fulfill ONE wish this year...Which would it be? (Don't put fly. Something medium possible).” "Water also offers resistance as you move through it, which allows you to work out vigorously (if you're able) with little chance of injury. Swimming laps can also be relaxing and meditative, which may offer some stress relief, adding to its cardiovascular benefits. Finally, swimming is an activity you can do across the life span," says Harvard Health.

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

She Changed Her Hair Color

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
