In the Instagram story, Palmer looked fit and confident in her black workout set and baseball cap, showing off her impressive figure. From dancing to taking care of her skin and hair, here’s a closer look at how Palmer stays in shape and keeps glowing both on and off the screen.

1. She Dances

Palmer loves to dance to stay in shape. She revealed in an interview with Ensemble Magazine that she dances all the time. “Yesterday. Today. Every damn day baby! I love to dance. Apparently, I even do a little happy dance when I'm eating something delicious. I'm currently learning Spanish, so I'm listening to a lot of música española - for practice.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Hair

Palmer also has amazing hair, and she makes sure to take care of it. She went through her haircare routine with Stuff. “I use Joico Silver Shampoo and conditioner, and I swear by Eleven Sea Salt Spray. Dream product. My favourite salon is Ginger Meggs in Christchurch, they're lovely. I have balayaged hair, so I get the colour touched up every so often. To ensure the ends aren't too damaged, I also get a treatment when it's feeling dry.”

3. She Uses A Toner

Palmer has amazing skin and she makes sure to take care of it. One of her secrets is using a toner. Palmer revealed her favorite in her Ensemble Magazine interview. “A Korean beauty toner. I'm really into K Beauty atm, and I'm making a lot of unnecessary online purchases. But their toners are the best! So nourishing. lol listen to me, I should be on commission.”

4. She Keeps Her Skin Moisturized

Palmer makes sure to keep her skin moisturized. She revealed to Stuff that she has a lot of different tips for doing so. “I recently did a long haul flight to London and found the aircon really harsh. It dried my skin and lips – so I recommend a heavy duty moisturiser and some paw paw ointment. The lovely make up ladies at work are always introducing me to new products so I rarely feel the need to go shopping. Frankie Adams. She wears nothing but coconut oil and always looks absolutely incredible. She's beautiful inside and out.”

5. She Wears Sunscreen

Palmer shared some of her favorite beauty products and tips in an interview with Stuff. She says that one of her biggest secrets is using an SPF, since she spends a lot of time outside. “I'm pretty good with sunscreen. My favourite is by Neutrogena and I always wear it on my face. However, I could be more sun smart when it comes to the rest of my body... I'm vitamin D's biggest fan.”

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s daughter Gracie McGraw is enjoying a sunny staycation at home. The singer, 26, shared pictures of herself lounging on the grass in a yard, wearing a blue swimsuit and black headband, proudly emphasizing her figure. “Adventures *at* home,” she captioned the post. “Natural beauty with class💗,” a fan commented. How does the star stay fit? Here are 5 ways McGraw stays healthy and happy.

1. Open About Ozempic

McGraw admitted to using weight loss drug Ozempic after fans speculated about her weight loss. “I did use Ozempic last year, yes. I am now on a low dose of Mounjaro for my PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) as well as working out,” she says. “No need to accuse when I have been open about it… During my appointment with my endocrinologist I realized that may had been a factor in my issues with weight, so we decided to try a medicine to regulate my body more normally and create the tools to continue to keep my body and myself healthy as I get older. For anyone asking for medication, I was prescribed Qysmia and Ozempic. Ozempic is also given to patients who are diabetic, I am not diabetic. So, I do not know how it works in that regard.”

2. She Loves Chicken

McGraw loves to eat chicken, which is high in protein. “Both chicken thighs and breasts are good sources of lean protein,” says Sarah Klemm, RDN, CD, LDN. “However, they differ in the amount of calories, fat and saturated fat. For example, a 3-ounce skinless, chicken breast provides about 140 calories, 3 grams of total fat and just 1 gram of saturated fat.”

3. Fishing Fan

McGraw enjoys fishing in the great outdoors, which is a great way to enjoy the fresh air. "You can make your fishing excursion as physical as you want," says Janna Superstein of Superfly International Inc. “Even just getting out there, you'll still get the benefits of the outdoors and maybe that's the beginning of a new fit, healthy lifestyle.”

4. Japanese Cuisine

McGraw loves Japanese cuisine, which is a very healthy choice. "The traditional Japanese diet is considered one of the healthiest diets in the world," says Divya Jacob, Pharm.D. “The Japanese pride themselves in having one of the lowest rates of obesity in the world, as well as low incidences of certain hormone-dependent cancers. Usually, the Japanese eat three large meals and two snacks each day."

5. Supported by Parents

McGraw’s father is her biggest fan. “No, she doesn’t listen to dad,” [Tim] says. “She’s way more talented than I am, anyway. She doesn’t need any advice from me. She’s so bubbly and she fills up a room when she walks in. She’s got so much talent and is such a great songwriter, we’re going to hear from her down the road, for sure.”

1. Training For Cleo

Grant wanted to be as physically prepared as possible for the role of Cleo. “I immediately got a trainer, Max Solomon, and we worked a lot on strength training, cardio, and toning,” she says. “I wanted to make sure that physically Cleo looked strong. Honestly, I was pretty ready when it came to the physicality of the role, having had a trainer beforehand, but one thing I will say I did learn was that it is extremely hard to swim in the ocean fully clothed.”

2. Authentically Herself

Grant draws on her own life experiences to play Cleo. “Cleo inspires me because she is authentically herself no matter the situation she is put in,” she says. “She trusts her instincts, that’s a valuable tool to use as an actor. Cleo is very ambitious when it comes to things that she wants and that’s something that resonates with me… Many of Cleo’s mannerisms that you see in the show I get from my aunts and other family members. Although I wasn’t born in the Caribbean, growing up in South Florida, my family gave me as close as you can get to a firsthand experience of being on the islands. I drew parts of my inspiration from my Haitian/Bahamian godmother that taught me proper enunciation, slang words, and just corrected me overall. However, in a way, it feels like I’ve been preparing to be Cleo before I was even cast.”

3. Filming Workouts

Just filming the show gave Grant a decent workout. “The show is a lot of cardio: running, swimming, everything in between,” she says. “[The cast] would all pass each other in the gym and we’d do some workouts together. That helped with being able to deal with the demand of the show.”

4. Friends Forever

Grant says her Outer Banks co-stars will be friends for life. “We were constantly messing with each other, bothering each other, and doing fun stuff,” she says. “We would be playing basketball, skateboarding, biking, eating, napping—it’s kind of like summer camp where there’s all these different activities going on all the time… Being in Barbados was one the best experiences of my life. Netflix booked an entire hotel only for us, so we were really able to bond as people. It was kind of like boarding school, where we all lived together in this giant hotel; we had sleepovers and we would go to the pool and really bond with each other. We’ll take those memories with us for a lifetime.”

5. Self-Care Time

Grant relaxes by enjoying her favorite cuisines and relaxing at the spa. “I’m a total foodie!” she says. “I love going out for food, but sometimes I go to the movies. I like being near the water listening to a good audiobook or going to the spa.”
