The Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby is a “bawdy babe” on vacation in Miami Beach with her friends. The reality star shared a picture of herself posing in a boat in a bright neon bathing suit, with plenty of “speedos, sunblock, and tequila.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Darby 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. Postpartum Diet

Darby says she was sensible about getting back into shape after having sons Dean (2019), and Dylan (2021). “The first thing I would say is to not pressure yourself,” she says. “There’s a lot of societal pressure to look a certain way, and you see these moms who have bounced back — even me, for example. I will say I’m a little more educated this time about fitness and about how my diet and everything impacts my body. “I ended up following this really good meal plan that is made for breastfeeding moms, and it worked so well for me that I’m actually back to my weight before I had Dean. The diet was first.”

2. Sleep Is Key

Darby says quality sleep is the key to having enough energy to exercise and make healthy food choices. Sleep—or lack thereof—absolutely does impact health, experts say. “Lack of sleep may affect hunger-regulating hormones, which can lead to eating more food more often,” says Rebecca Stetzer, RD. “Cravings may increase for foods that are higher in added sugar, fat and sodium. Excessive intake of these nutrients can increase risk of developing health issues like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Inadequate sleep can also affect the way you think and the likelihood of grabbing quick/convenience foods and caffeine to 'push through.' Meeting your body's need for adequate sleep can mean you’re less likely to use food as a coping tool for fatigue."

3. Lemon and Honey

Darby enjoys lemon water with honey and ginger first thing in the morning. “Ginger has a long reputation as a carminative, a substance that promotes the elimination of excess gas from the digestive system, and is known to soothe the intestinal tract,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “Colic and dyspepsia respond particularly well to ginger. A number of animal studies suggest ginger may help manage cholesterol levels, reduce damage to the arteries and lower high blood pressure – all of which benefits the heart and cardiovascular system.”

4. Addicted To Watermelon

Darby loves delicious watermelon, and got through one a week during pregnancy. “The pink-red flesh of the watermelon tells us its rich in compounds called carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which we convert to vitamin A,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Often called pro-vitamin A, beta-carotene, helps keep our eyes and skin healthy.”

5. Lots of Water

Darby says drinking plenty of water throughout the day is a non-negotiable. "You should try to drink at least three liters of water a day," she says. "You have to stop drinking the wine... I’m saying maybe two glasses a week. The thing about wine is that it's made out of grapes, which are fermented, and it's basically sugar. You might as well be eating Pixie Stix after Pixie Stix."

1. She Runs

Running is Ashley’s go-to exercise method. “I did the marathon for the second time this year but my knees have suffered recently so I’ve been doing a 30 day Kobox class which is a combination of boxing and HIIT,” she told Daily Star.

2. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Ashley.James2Ashley James/Instagram

Ashley detailed her diet to Daily Star. “Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day – smashed avocado, seeds, scrambled egg, chilli flakes and a slice of brown toast,” she said. "Lunch will be something like a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich and for dinner I love home-made chicken curry with lots of rice and spices. When it comes to snacks I like nut and dates – of the food and men type!”

3. Pizza Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Ashley.James2Ashley James/Instagram

Ashley allows herself to cheat. “I love pizza, but I’m not sure how much of a guilty pleasure it is because I don’t feel guilty about having it,” she told Daily Star. "I’d probably have it five times a week if I could. Chicken sweetcorn and mushrooms are my favourite toppings. I also adore mac and cheese!”

4. She Doesn’t Pay Attention to Numbers

“I don’t watch calories and I don’t weigh myself – I tend to think if it tastes good eat it,” Ashley told Daily Star. “I know the more exercise I do the more I eat, but I know if I’ve had pigged out a bit I tend to feel a bit disgusting so I make sure I load up with veg. And if my jeans feel tight then I cut back.”

5. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

"Hilma" UK Film Premiere - ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Ashley has been very open about her struggles with body dysmorphia. “When my body dysmorphia was at its worst I would look in the mirror and had no concept of how I really looked, but be convinced I looked fat,” she revealed to Daily Star. "If there was the slightest bit of midriff or legs on show I’d think I looked disgusting and worried what were people were going to think. Exercise as a routine has really helped. When I was at uni I let exercise slip, now it’s part of my routine. They key is not to make it a chore – do something you love and incorporate it into your life. I also relied on the advice of friends to tell me how I looked.”

6. She Refuses to “Punish” Her Body

Ashley.James1Ashley James/Instagram

In her latest social media post, Ashley encourages her followers to love themselves. “Well, it's that time of year again! Our Christmas dinner has barely digested and we're already being bombarded with weight loss ads trying to convince us to feel insecure. Plugging the lie to us that we will be happier, healthier and more confident if we punish our bodies...But just because it's a New Year, it doesn't mean we need a new body! Please don't fall for this annual toxic narrative and remember that whether it's the latest celebrity weight loss program or a product - they are making money from your insecurities,” she wrote. “Of course, we should and could all aspire to be healthier! But health doesn't always equal weight loss - especially if it's some unsustainable diet or fitness regime. I was my most unhealthy when I was the smallest version of myself. It also never brought me confidence or love or a high self esteem. It did make me obsess over my appearance. Made me more self critical. And convinced me if I could just change my appearance I'd be happier and more loveable. I wasn't. It was only when I learned to love and accept myself, and appreciate that my value and the things that brought me joy weren't tied to my appearance,” she continued. “You deserve to enjoy food with family and friends. Don't let people convince you that you need to change your appearance so they can profit off your insecurities.”

Ashley Benson, star of Her Smell and Spring Breakers, wore a swimsuit this week and why not? It’s basically summertime, if you check out what celebs like Suki Waterhouse, Aleida Nuñez, Becca Edwards, Sammi Hanratty, Kate Hudson and Shama Sikander are up to. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see all the ways the celebs stay 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. Ashley Benson

Benson finds peace in NYC. “In L.A., I had anxiety all the time with the paparazzi, and my house became my safe place,” she told Vogue. “It made me very codependent with friends and relationships. In New York, I can walk around and be by myself. It gives me a lot of peace.”

2. Aleida Nuñez

“🧘🏽‍♀️✨🙌 🧿Les quiero compartir que practico la meditación hace mucho tiempo y en este mundo lleno de incertidumbre y ansiedad te ayuda a crear un estado de conciencia y paz…#meditación nunca abandones tu alma✨,” Aleida once wrote. Translation: “🧘🏽‍♀️✨🙌 I want to share with you that I have practiced meditation for a long time and in this world full of uncertainty and anxiety it helps you create a state of consciousness and peace…#meditation never abandon your soul✨.”

3. Suki Waterhouse

Suki-Waterhouse-1Suki Waterhouse/Instagram

Suki once said about working out: “I do, I really enjoy it; I need to, I’m obsessed. I stopped working out recently as I was on a film and I was really tired and I then went to the gym a few times and found I was so much more able to perform with my body feeling that strength through it again. And mentally, I was going on set and able to do my job better as I felt stronger again. I do different things - I do Vinyasa yoga and I’ll work out with a trainer Dan Roberts in Richmond Park near where I live. I do drills and running there - it’s an amazing place. I love the idea of running up hills and rolling around in mud - it’s my favourite time of the week and Dan really pushes me. He’s hardcore. I also go to TriYoga and hot yoga (not Bikram) and I do occasional Pilates, which I should do more of."

4. Becca Edwards

The Ex on the Beach star is often getting some sun. Just remember: “Tanning under the sun or a sunlamp may give modest protection to those who are able to tan well. But the protection it gives does not come close to that derived from the use of a sunscreen. The larger issue is that any change in skin color from tanning is a sign of damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Repeated exposure to UV radiation — whether from the sun or a tanning bed — increases your risk of premature skin aging and skin cancer,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. Sammi Hanratty

Yellowjackets’ Hanratty has used TRX bands during her workouts. “Suspension training does it all. It improves muscular strength and endurance while simultaneously improving joint mobility and flexibility. Due to the unstable nature of suspension training, the exercises constantly engage your core and improve your balance. There is no limit to the progressions you can do, and everyone from the most novice exercisers to the most advanced athletes can benefit from using the TRX Suspension Trainer,” says ACE Fitness.

6. Kate Hudson

“I’m definitely challenging myself in new ways, which I need,” she told People. “I like to be able to set new goals to see what I can accomplish, and I love how flexible and strong I feel after a good workout, especially doing Pilates, which never gets easier.”

7. Shama Sikander

Love with James Milliron helped Shama through a depression. “I had just met him. I was still going through my bouts of depression. I would get depressed every now and then. When I would go through these feelings I just did not want anybody around me, I wanted people around me, but I would just push them to go away from me. And nobody ever dared to go against that decision, everybody would leave. But he was the only one who did not leave,” she said, according to Pinkvilla.com.

Debby Ryan is heating up Puerto Rico. The actress and singer, who starred in Insatiable, flaunts her incredibly chiseled abs in a swimsuit while vacationing on the island in her latest Instagram post, making it clear she knows a thing or two about fitness. She captioned the snap: “If you’re gonna be an eccentric, you have to lay the groundwerk in your 20s.” How does the star keep herself in such fabulous form? Read on to see 5 ways Debby Ryan 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 Has Embraced Her Body Dysmorphia

For Debby, accepting that she suffered from body dysmorphia was her first step to healing from it. “Dysmorphia has been a dark passenger of mine for years. I first noticed it at 13, when I was told to draw an image of my body, and the silhouette and shape of what I saw apparently did not line up at all with what everyone else saw,” she told The Sydney Morning Herald. “I don’t know to this day if I’ve ever looked in the mirror and seen what other people see when they look at me. And I have never had a day, not one day, where I looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Cool.’ It used to be all I wanted but I’ve accomplished a lot in 12 years, so maybe I don’t need that to feel fulfilled any more.”

2. She Used to Emotionally Eat

Debby also revealed that emotional eating contributed to the issue. “I’d gone through heartbreak and my close friend was going through cancer and I emotionally ate and was dealing with a full-blown eating disorder,” she told The Sydney Morning Herald. “I put on 12 pounds, which isn’t much on the Hollywood scale, but everyone online was calling me fat and speculating that I was on drugs. It enraged me so much.”

3. She Boxes

Now, Debby deals with her stress via exercise. One of her favorite workouts? Boxing. She even has a workout buddy who she can put up a fight with: Her husband, Twenty One Pilots singer Josh Dun. “Is he grabbing my butt,” she captioned a few snaps from one of their workout sessions.

4. She Likes Action Sports

Debby loves to burn calories while getting a rush at the same time. She loves rock climbing and also snowboarding. “Nighttime is for carving slow and flirting on the slopes,” she captioned this snap.

5. She Is Active Outdoors

She also rollerblades, hikes, and goes for walks – all with the help of her beloved dog. Sometimes she even walks her dog while rollerblading, like in this adorable Instagram post. “He walked me for like a whole 5k,” she captioned the video.

Gabriella Demetriades was enjoying that hashtag "beach life." And she was not alone. It’s March. Which means warmer weather is around the corner. Which means it’s time to start showing off some fit figures. And these celebrities are doing just that, and they’re not even waiting for the official start of spring. From Meghan King, Molly Mae-Hague and Tay Conti posing in bathing suits, to Kelly Rowland strutting in a cover-up, these celebs posted several revealing posts on Instagram. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see all the ways the celebs stay 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. Gabriella Demetriades

Actor Gabriella Demetriades posted an Instagram video of her doing Pilates. "Some of the principles that guide the Pilates method include concentration on each movement, use of the abdomen and low back muscles, flowing movement patterns that are precise and a steady and controlled breathing. Depending on the exercise, Pilates routines can be performed on specially-designed apparatuses, including a bed-like structure called a reformer, or on a mat or blanket," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. Tay Conti

Wrestler Tay Conti took a trip to Mexico this week, and she made sure to pose in a bathing suit at the beach. Being in the public eye, Conti is open to a lot of opinions, and not all of them are great. However, she’s learned to ignore the haters. In an Instagram post, Conti wrote, “When I look in the mirror, I’m happy to see who I am and I’m proud of myself. If you like my career, great you can stay but if you don’t, just leave. One thing is for sure: HATERS WILL NOT TAKE MY HAPPINESS AWAY.”

3. Meghan King

Meghan King posted a “Thirst trap” on Instagram this week, where she posed in a white bathing suit. In 2019, King unfortunately learned that her son has a brain injury, and went through a divorce. Instead of letting this break her, she decided to change the way she approached eating and food. "This is the first time in my life I’ve counted calories and it’s in the opposite way most Americans do so," she wrote on her blog. "I eat breakfast every day. That’s easy. Lunch is hard because it’s an annoyance: a stop in the middle of the day when I’m on a roll. So when I eat lunch I really go for it – all the carbs and all the protein. I don’t snack – never have. Dinner can go either way. The kids are asleep so I have time to eat and I do but usually I’m not very hungry.”

4. Kelly Rowland

Singer Kelly Rowland posted a stunning video on Instagram of herself modeling a new swimsuit she bought. Rowland tells Health that she is no longer comparing her body to other women’s bodies, and this has helped her embrace herself. "How I became comfortable with my body is understanding that no one looks like me. I kept comparing myself to so many other women who didn't look like me, and I had to embrace me and all my flaws."

5. Alexandra Daddario

Actress Alexandra Daddario was one of many attendees at this year’s SAG Awards. And she wore a plunging dress, making a splash on the red carpet. Daddario opened up about some of her health and wellness secrets to Delish. She says that she tries to do a lot of her own cooking, and keeps the ordering out to a minimum. "I use Postmates a lot, but I try to be responsible and not do that too much," she admits.

6. Alessandra Ambrosio

Model Alessandra Ambrosio took a trip to St. Barth’s, and posted a series of stunning photos on Instagram this week. When it comes to her diet, Ambrosio is a big believer in balance. She tells Elle that she doesn’t like to deprive herself of her favorite indulgences, but still wants to eat healthy. Her solution is splurging on vacations, then eating clean when she comes back. “If I'm back in Brazil where everything is pasta- or bread-based—and so yummy—I'll eat whatever I want, then go back to lots of salads and chicken or fish with veg as soon as I'm back in L.A."

7. Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney Kardashian lounged in a bathing suit, on a paddleboard in the water, and posted it to her Instagram story this week. When it comes to fitness, Kardashian makes it a priority, even with her busy schedule. She revealed in a post on her website, that she does a lot of at-home lower body workouts, which aren’t super complicated or require a lot of expensive equipment. “If you have a few key pieces of gear, you can do all of these moves at home,” Kardashian wrote. She says that she loves to do leg lifts, kick backs, and squats with a weight.

8. Joy Corrigan

Model Joy Corrigan is ready for bathing suit weather, and she posted a series of stunning swimwear photos from Cabo to Instagram this week. In addition to being a model, Corrigan is also a philanthropist. She says that she always wants to be a positive influence on the world and the people she meets. “My favorite role is being a philanthropist and using my platform to make a difference in the world,” she told Women Fitness. “When I’m on set, either as an actress or model, I also try to create positivity and make a difference for the better.”

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
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.”

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!”
