1. She Does a Lot of Strength and Weight Training

Ashley recently revealed to Women’s Health her workouts focus mostly on weights"When I'm working with my trainer, we do a lot of weights, and then sneaky cardio," she told WH, adding that her booty is a main focus. ​​"Honestly, I feel like my butt has fallen a lot in this past couple of years," she explains. "So anything to just kind of start lifting it back up."

2. She Uses a Stairmaster

Ashley is a big climber. "I will say I just bought a Stairmaster, and I put it in my bedroom. It looks out the window, and I have no excuses,” she told WH.

3. She Exercises Twice a Day

Ashley tries to get in her first workout in the morning. However she likes moving later in the day too. "I want to get it done at eight a.m., in and out," she told Women’s Health. "But then I am enjoying doing a little bit of yoga in the afternoons because that was something that really helped me through my pregnancy with Isaac."

4. She Does Family Workouts

Ashley also loves working out with her family. "Justin will do drills, and he'll run after him, and I'll do some lunges and things like that. But it'll be like a family workout, where he's outside playing, but we can also still kind of get a little bit in," she revealed to Women’s Health. "It sounds like normal play with your kid, but if you really look at it as 'okay, we're gonna get a workout,' then you can actually turn it into that.'"

5. Her Diet Is Nourishing

Ashley fuels her body with food starting with breakfast: One half English muffin with scrambled eggs on top, and the other with butter and jam. She loves fruit, including nectarine and plums, veggies like cucumbers and celery. "Lunch, I've been eating sandwiches like crazy," she told Women’s Health. "Do not sleep on sandwiches!" Her go-to is Hawaiian bread stacked with mayonnaise, Grey Poupon mustard, chicken, muenster cheese, and lettuce. Her favorite dinner? Lamb cooked by her husband.

Graham loves to cook, and she revealed her favorite meals to Refinery29. “One of the main things I make is a beer-can chicken. It’s got a paste on it that’s made of salt, pepper, and brown sugar. But that’s really one of the best things I’m making right now. I’m also making sweet potato fries, but I make baked wedge fries so they’re healthier. I make a really good salad with kale, chopped raw brussel sprouts, and toasted almonds. Everyone’s into kale. It does make you feel healthy."

5. She Moisturizes

The Love Island star, currently expecting her first child, looks healthy and happy via one of her latest social media posts. “Dreamy days at Fluid 🌊I think this will probably be this bikinis last outing 🤣 have had to go a size up for the cruise in 3 weeks!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Amy Hart 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 Got Obsessive About Losing Weight

Prior to going on Love Island Amy went to “extreme” measures to lose weight. “Eight weeks, gym every day, 1800 calories vegan diet plan,” she shared in a clip exclusively shared with Metro.co.uk. “I gave up drinking, I’d call in sick to work so I could go to the gym instead.”

2. She Learned That Thinner Isn’t Prettier

"Sister Act: The Musical" - Press Night - Drinks ReceptionDave Benett/Getty Images

The weight loss was fueled by a desire to fulfill society’s standards.”I thought I needed to do that to be attractive to the boys that would be in the villa,” she continued. “I think it’s because we’ve been conditioned that thinner is prettier. It’s completely wrong and there shouldn’t be one body type that is beautiful. I think people need to realise that your dream body should just be your own body.”

3. She Meal Preps

Amy sets herself up for success by meal prepping. MEAL PREP MONDAYS (on a Tuesday….I THOUGHT I PRESSED SAVE OK!!) My new fave breakfast, Raspberry Biscoff Protein Cheesecake! So easy to make, no pans to wash, literally 5 mins! I’m gonna try a dairy free version next week (gotta use the yoghurt up 🤣 we are a zero waste household now dontchaknow,” she captioned one of her posts. Another favorite make-ahead dish? Slow cooker beef. “One of my fave dinners because it’s hearty, yummy and full of real ingredients,” she wrote in another,

4. Her Approach to Diet and Fitness Is Balanced

Now that Amy is healthier and happier, her approach to health is more balanced. “LIFE 👏🏻IS👏🏻ABOUT👏🏻BALANCE 👏🏻 I know some of you were worried this was going to become a fitness account, I’m still me 💁🏼‍♀️During lockdown, all I did was work out, eat well and hardly drink. When we came out of lockdown I went out ... for 5 months. I’ve tried a few diet plans etc but I always end up going to excess then feeling guilty! I’m learning to love the gym (I’m a spinning queen now babes) but also enjoy life too and not feel guilty. Let’s just say, after my Italian lunch today I am v glad I didn’t cancel spin this morning,” she captioned a post.

5. She Prioritizes Self-Care

Amy takes care of herself. “SELF CARE SATURDAY,” she wrote in a post. Her rest day might look something like this: “After a long day or a hard gym session I love to come home and relax,” she continued. Then she might give herself a facial or do a face mask.

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 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.”

She recently posted a photo on her page from a trip to Barnesley. In it, she posed in a strapless swimsuit with flowers.

I just enjoyed the day.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Chanelle Hayes 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 Doesn’t Compare Herself To Others

Hayes is all about body-positivity and self-love. In this Instagram post, she talked about not wanting to compare herself to others, especially when it comes to social media. “I thought I would post this to try to remind you guys that SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT REAL and things are so easily edited so please try not to stress and compare yourself or your life. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND. It’s something I have to remind myself daily because I subconsciously compare the chosen snapshot of life on people’s social media to my whole life warts and all. It’s unkind of me to do it to myself, but I do.”

2. She Does Activities With Her Kids

Hayes has two children, and she revealed in this Instagram post that she is doing a lot of physical activities with them. “One of the best things since my #gastricsleeve is being able to move more and spend more quality time with my boys,” she wrote in the caption. “In the left pic, I sat sweating due to my excess body weight watching my son play football. In the right, I had just beaten him at a race of the Monsal trail, so I was sweating for the right reasons! Last weekend I took the kids trampolining, next week we are going swimming. None of these activities were something I could have done before. Partly, because I felt so much shame I didn’t want to embarrass them but partly because I knew I would be in agony for days afterwards.”

3. She Got Gastric Sleeve

Hayes opened up about her decision to receive gastric sleeve surgery in an interview with New! Magazine. She says that she did a lot of research before choosing to have the procedure done. “I tried every single diet there is but I was completely out of control. If I was abusing alcohol or drugs the way I abused junk food, somebody would have intervened and done something about it. I felt as though there need to be more of a medical intervention, so I went away and spent a year researching it.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Hayes makes sure to eat healthy. She even shares some of her favorite meals on Instagram. She captioned this photo, “Grilled fillet of salmon with a low carb salad. Plenty of healthy, necessary fats in this one. Plus it’s absolutely gorgeous.” Hayes also posted this photo with the caption, “Early dinner for me: chicken breast, spinach, rocket, watercress, pine nuts, feta, tomatoes, green beans, lemon juice. Summery and beaut.”

5. She Enjoys Working Out

Hayes opened up about how life has changed since her surgery in this Instagram post. She says that she enjoys working out more. “Exercise is different now. I’ve always enjoyed working out (I’m actually a qualified PT, crazy as this may seem) but I actually feel proud to exercise and improve my body after all the junk I’ve been feeding it all these years. It’s my way of saying ‘hey body, I’m sorry for abusing you...here’s an olive branch’ (or a dumbbell).”

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.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

Kat McNamara is a successful actress. She is known for her role in fantasy and superhero projects like Shadowhunters, Girl vs. Monster, and Arrow. McNamara just shared her fitness challenge for the year on Instagram. In a recent video, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. McNamara received a lot of praise in the comments. She captioned the post, “Switching it up!💥New year, new workout adventure! Thanks @laurajquinn for once again putting me through my paces! 🤣 We’ve come a long way from ballet to @alo! 🩰”

She Does Pilates

McNamara is seen doing Pilates in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The benefits of Pilates are both therapeutic and preventive. The practice may help you recover from an existing injury or manage a chronic musculoskeletal issue. It may also help you establish a healthy baseline, so that when those injuries or issues arise, you’re able to bounce back faster.”

She Boxes

McNamara shared some of the things she did to stay in shape for Shadowhunters in an interview with Women’s Health. One thing she did was box. “It builds the shape of muscles I needed to look like a fighter, and it's just plain fun," she says.” Boxing has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Regular physical activity, including boxing, can lower your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease.”

She Does Leg Workouts

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
