Ashley Judd is back on her feet and walking again after her debilitating accident in the Congo. In a new Instagram post the actress and activist gave fans a health update, revealing that she is finally healing nearly six months after she shattered her leg in four places.

“Dear Friends, It is with reverence and quiet awe I offer this update,” the 53-year-old wrote in the post, alongside a video of herself hiking in the Swiss National Park. “Today, five months and three weeks after the accident in the Congolese rainforest, I walked again, and in what fashion!"

She revealed that she is finally starting to feel like herself again. “Stepping in, I felt in my ease, my natural garment of self, at home in my spirit. My leg and foot, worked beautifully. I walked up hill on uneven surfaces for an hour confidently and came down carefully and easily. I rested in a meadow on God’s fecund earth for hours. The next day, I walked again on a high Alp in #Ticino, working hard and feeling how much I stamina I have to rebuild. This is the road ahead. But I am up to the daily tasks, as I am even carrying firewood into our Alpine hut!”

She went on to thank her medical team, who helped her recover, explaining that her doctors didn't expect her to be able to move her foot again “if ever” for at least a year. “In four months to the day, she blew us all away. Now, after crying while trying to spell the ABCs with a paralyzed foot….well, you see!”

Judd did reveal that she won’t fully recover from the accident. “My leg will never be the same. She is a new leg. And I love her. We are buddies. We have a come a long way and we have a fabulous life ahead,” she said.

“From an eight hour surgery (thank you Dr Nathan Belt, with your #UK scrubs for the safe anesthesia) to grueling and compassionate physical therapy with @kim.oneil5, to osteopathy while managing - yes, unbelievably - some @acroyoga (that picture was even before I could walk) with @almuthkramer, I have been loved and understood and helped in my healing. Just look at the last video for comparison, that was where I was just two months ago (always trying to be in nature) when I could barely walk!”

She closed out the post by thanking her fans for praying for her and sending notes. “Thank you. I have felt you. I especially have been held by family and my partner. Peace be with you.”

Ashley Tisdale is celebrating her company’s birthday in her bathing suit. The High School Musical graduate shows off her fantastic figure on her special day, wearing a striped swimsuit as she blows out the birthday cake candles in honor of Frenshe. “Thank you for making this year fab-u-lous,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the mother-of-one stay in shape? Read on to see 5 ways Ashley Tisdale stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Walks

Ashley, who trains with Harley Pasternak, maintains that walking changed her body “tremendously and honestly it's all about getting your steps in," she said in an Instagram Story. "His method isn't hard and my body isn't left feeling like I tortured it. I can't believe what my body has gone through over the last year and a half. I'm so grateful for it and honestly can't believe how strong I feel." Wearing a Fitbit, she aims for 14,000 steps a day. "All I do is walk lol but it's effective," she said."I'm only sharing this because after months of working hard and trying everything, these small changes in the last three weeks is what have done the most," she continued. "It's the difference of how I feel. It's all about moving, finding ways of walking. Taking the dogs out with the baby for a stroll, taking meetings while walking vs. sitting." She also claims it is good for her mental health. "It's honestly what has helped my mental health as well," she added. "Having the extra energy from anxiety, just taking a walk and putting on a walking meditation always makes me feel better."

2. She Does Low Impact Workouts

Tisdale, who suffers from "borderline thyroid disease," focuses on doing low-impact workouts to help her condition. 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.

3. She Hikes, Does Pilates, and Cycles

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,07:,Ashley,Tisdale,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Ashley also infuses different workouts into the mix, ensuring that she is working out every muscle in her body. "I've worked my butt off. Whether it's hiking, Pilates, riding on my Peloton,” she wrote on Frenche.

4. Her Diet Is Healthy

She dished on Frenche that diet is a big part of the equation. “While I haven’t mastered his recipes yet, I’m excited to dive deeper into them. He always says, ‘you can’t out-walk a bad diet,’ and I’m trying to live by that too,” she said about Pasternak’s plan. “In the past, I practiced yo-yo dieting that wasn’t sustainable instead of focusing on making lifestyle changes. That’s ultimately the opposite of Harley’s methods. He emphasizes the importance of fueling the body with food rather than depriving it of certain foods. My entire point is that while it’s easy to get caught up in wanting fast results from your diet and exercise regimen, it’s not a healthy mindset to have. It’s not a race; it’s a lifestyle, so I’m sure the more I do it, the better I’ll get at it.”

5. She Avoids Dairy

Ashley maintains that ditching dairy offered some major beauty benefits. “Skin never looked so good,” she aid in an Instagram video. “I would love to say it’s just the products I use but I’ve been dairy free for 5 years and I swear it changed everything with my skin. I barely break out,” she added. “I know it’s hard to give up something but when you do, after awhile, you barely crave it and I feel healthier.” She has also revealed that she avoids gluten.

Amanda Anisimova, a rising tennis star with two WTA titles, is not only known for her athletic achievements but also for her candid approach to mental health. In a recent Instagram post, she shared highlights from her tournament in Seoul, expressing her excitement for the city and her journey in tennis. While playing the sport is a key part of her fitness routine, she also enjoys hiking and embraces the mental and physical benefits it offers. Anisimova stepped away from the sport in 2023 to prioritize her mental health, opening up about burnout and how it impacted her career. Her honesty about her struggles aims to inspire others to take care of themselves and seek support when needed.


1. She Plays Tennis

One of the ways that Anisimova stays in shape is by playing tennis. The Columbia Association states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Tennis is an excellent full-body workout that releases feel-good endorphins to help you relax and relieve tension. Its low-impact nature also means your joints and bones will thank you. Because tennis includes short bursts of activity, it offers the same conditioning benefits of interval training, which has an unparalleled positive effect on the heart and lungs, slashing your risk of heart disease by 56% (!). Just an hour of play burns between 400 to 600 calories.”

2. She Hikes

Anisimova shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking by the ocean. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight. It is a joint-friendly form of exercise that can keep arthritis sufferers more limber and mobile.”

3. She Stepped Away

In 2023, Anisimova shared what caused her to take a break from playing tennis on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Hey guys. I thought I’d make a post explaining what’s been going on and my plans. I’ve really been struggling with my mental health and burnout since the summer of 2022. It’s become unbearable being at tennis tournaments. At this point my priority is my mental well-being and taking a break for some time. I’ve worked as hard as I could to push through it. I will miss being out there, and I appreciate all the continuous support 🤍✌️”

4. She Has Support

Anisimova has a lot of support out there. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Sad with the result 😢 wish I could play more in front of you guys here, it’s absolutely my favorite place to play. Thank you to all the fans who came out, you guys are amazing. Shoutout to the guys in the corner behind me who were screaming, you guys were awesome 😂 Last year I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to play here this year 🖤 I’ll take away all the positives and lessons with me for next year, see you all then ✌🏽”

5. She Wants To Inspire Others

Anisimova talked about wanting to inspire others in an interview with The New Zealand Herald. “I was happy that I was able to be honest about the reason why I was stepping away,” said Anisimova. “Just being vulnerable about it [was] kind of freeing and takes a little bit of weight off my shoulders and if I can help other people in knowing that they are not the only ones struggling, they are not alone in it. It was really good to post about it and give some insight into mental health and that it is really important and taking care of yourself always comes first.”

Jessica Simpson, the singer, actress, and fashion designer, has yo-yo dieted over the years. After her body was chiseled to perfection playing Daisy Duke in Dukes of Hazzard, she spiraled in the other direction, reaching well over 200lbs.

1. She Worked With Two Trainers to Feel Like Herself Again

She worked with not one, but two trainers to shed 100lbs. Harley Pasternak and Sydney Liebes helped Simpson with her full body workouts multiple times a week for 45 minutes. After slimming down, Jessica decided not to focus on the scale. She dropped 100lbs in just 6 months, then stopped putting emphasis on the number. “I couldn’t handle being so big and my ankles were swollen. So I’m just happy to feel comfortable again. I was literally uncomfortable for so long that now it’s just nice to relax,” she said.

2. She Followed Her Doctors' Advice

She’s always worked with her doctor on what weight loss plan she should try. She enjoyed Weight Watchers, even acting as a spokesperson for them at one point.

3. The Challenges Grew, But She Faced Them Head On

Jessica has fluctuated with her weight on and off for years. After each baby, it became that much more difficult. Pasternak helped her each time. “My mantra is you get lean in life, and strong in the gym. So the majority of the weight loss actually came from everything she did outside of the gym, and then everything in the gym is about toning and tightening,” Pasternak says.

4. She Cheats Here and There

Jessica is allowed to cheat here and there. “If she has a birthday party one night and a date night another night, she’s going to indulge both of those nights, but that’s it. It’s about balancing in a way that doesn’t make it painful or too much of a departure from your life before that,” said Pasternak. Jessica admits it’s been a lot of hard work.

5. She Enjoys Walking

One of the first things Simpson did to get to a healthy place after Birdie was born is start walking. It’s low impact and gets the body moving. She’d slowly increase her daily step count, aiming for 12,000-14,000. “If I haven’t moved enough, I’ll make sure and get in extra steps the next day,” she said.

Bodybuilder Sheila Bleck has never shied away from a challenge, and her recent recovery from hip replacement surgery is no exception. Known for her strength and resilience, Bleck shared her personal journey of bouncing back through a series of Instagram posts. From returning to the gym just days after surgery to carefully rebuilding her damaged muscles, she’s chronicled every step of the healing process. Through patience, perseverance, and a steadfast commitment to recovery, Bleck is gradually getting back on her feet. She has been open about her fears, struggles, and triumphs, offering herself as an example of determination. Her story highlights the importance of self-care, following medical advice, and leaning on a strong support system during difficult times.


1. She’s Took It Slow

Recovering from a hip replacement varies with each person, but Bleck was determined to return to her regular routine. She was back in the gym just a few days after surgery, doing lightweight exercises but no heavy lifting and took her workouts slow. “What most of you did not know was the hell I was going through,” she wrote. “I walked incorrectly to get around. I could not do treadmill , stairmill, precore machines. Just a spin bike or row machine. No Squats. Hard to do leg curls the list is long.” She added, “I'd say difficult 2 yrs and nerve pain kicked in June and surgery July. Yes I did MRIs n x rays, but no one did my hip. It's a frustrating story. So during all this. I have nerve damage. So I'm retraining my muscles. In video I show you. Glute sagged, hamstring and calve atrophy. So as I journalize my recovery. Im journaling on how well I can rebuild what got damaged.”

2. Wanted to be an Example

Two days before her surgery, Bleck shared she was “petrified” and “scared” but explained the pain was so bad her hip felt like it was “rotting .” She tried to prolong the situation by “easy training and diet,” but the pain became too overwhelming. Bleck admitted she was also not in a position financially for a major surgery. “The world intimidates you,” she wrote. “Your poor its expensive you better be prepared. Well I am not.” She ended her lengthy video by saying she wanted to be an “example” for others.

3. Followed Doctor’s Orders

Three days after surgery, Bleck did a video explaining her post-opp orders and how she’s following doctor’s advice. “My days are spent legs elevated and cold packing them. It took a day too finally sleep and not be paranoid. Im sleeping now. My leg has felt dead. But the feeling is coming back. Again a very unsettling feeling. I am swollen. But its moderate not severe. I am not in pain. If anything its a mild ache as things are waking up. I use my walker to get around. I wear compression socks all day except at night.”

4. The Road to Recovery is Hard

A week after surgery, Bleck was using a walker, but navigated stairs on her own without one. She started physical training and said the swelling was a “discomfort” she “absolutely hated,” by PT helped her mentally work through it. At this point, she didn’t have much of an appetite, but she wasn’t in serious pain and she wasn’t limping.

5. Thankful for Support

In one of the final videos Bleck posted about her recovery, it had been 16 days since her operation and she was doing well in recovery. She had stopped using a walker adn cane, and was back to doing light workouts in the gym. “I had a lot a lot of support going into this. I promise. Not one of you wasted your time w/ me. You all either did emotional support or shared experiences. Next was my job to show you guys I'm healing correctly and following protocols. Letting you all know my results. Unfortunately I have mild arthritis in my right hip. Fortunately I know how to handle my situation and myself better for when the time comes again. Thank you for being there. Thank you for reading and listening.”

Toni Breidinger is no stranger to pushing limits, whether she’s dominating the racetrack or powering through an intense workout. The NASCAR driver and social media star isn’t just about speed—she’s also serious about strength, endurance, and staying mentally sharp. In her latest update, Breidinger gave fans a glimpse of her exercise routine, proving that her fitness game is just as strong as her driving skills. From explosive box jumps to tracking her progress with fitness apps, she follows a well-rounded approach to training that keeps her in peak condition. But it’s not just about the physical—her mindset plays a huge role in her success. Here’s a look at the habits that keep her at the top of her game.

She Doesn’t Let Pressure Get To Her

Breidinger tells Marin Living that she doesn’t let the pressures of racing get to her, and that this has helped with her career. “I don’t really feel added pressure, more like a sense of responsibility to pave the way so other minorities have better opportunity to come up through motor sports,” she says on how she feels about her groundbreaking status. “I take a lot of pride to be able to represent in NASCAR and it’s amazing how much support I’ve received from Arab girls and women.”

She’s Motivated

Breidinger is extremely motivated when it comes to her career. She talked about where this comes from to The Modems. “I am very ambitious and stubborn so I feel like I naturally keep myself motivated to reach my goals, but I also have my bad days where motivation is just a struggle. I’m lucky because the people I surround myself with are always there to lift me up and keep me on a positive mindset.”

She’s Positive

Breidinger is a big believer in having a positive mindset. She tells The Modems that this is one of the reasons for her success. “I’ve gotten so much good career advice over the years but the best one was, ‘Mindset is what separates the best from the rest’. I always knew a positive mindset was important but I never really applied it to my life until this year and it really has changed my life for the better. It sounds cliché but I swear by it.”

She Tracks Her Fitness

I also use MapMyRun to record all my runs so I can keep track of those as well. It’s so handy to be able to keep track of all my health goals easily all in my phone.”

She Does Box Jumps

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

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.”

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.”

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.”
