Barbara Corcoran is a businesswoman and a panelist on the hit series Shark Tank. She recently paid homage to Martha Stewart’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover on Instagram. Corcoran posted a photo of herself posing in a swimsuit similar to Stewart’s. She captioned the post, “I can’t cook, but I sure can swim.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Barbara Corcoran 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 Works With A Trainer

Corcoran broke down her typical schedule with The Cut. She says that she works out with her trainer each morning. “My trainer Margaret walks in the door,” she says. “Thank god, or I would never work out. We do the mat downstairs for an hour, and then I throw my clothes on and walk over four blocks to the office.”

2. She Reduces Stress

Corcoran shared some of her tips for reducing stress with The Cut. “Most of my friends have expensive shrinks. I don’t spend a dime on that. I work out and it gets rid of all my problems. The other thing I do is garden. I pot plants on the terrace. I’m a potter. Nothing is better than pulling up weeds, potting bulbs. I just find that my stress melts away.”

3. She Makes The Most Of Her Day

Corcoran shared her productivity tips with Inc Magazine. She says that she always tries to make the most of her time. “Like every entrepreneur, I'm pulled in way too many directions, and I often feel like a puppet on somebody else's string, jockeying my time between family obligations, helping the entrepreneurs I've invested in, filming Shark Tank, and flying to motivational speeches in multiple cities. Too much on your plate gets in the way of building the business you dreamed of having when you first started out. Lucky for all of us, time is reliably fair and doles out 24 hours a day to everyone, but it's how you make the most of it that really counts.”

4. She Listens To Herself

Corcoran tells Entrepreneur that she makes sure to always listen to her own instincts, rather than other people’s. “I didn't listen to any advice. But I find now when I invest in new businesses the good ones listen; they're really excited. They ask questions [and for advice] and then they go out and don't do any of it. Because in the end, they listen to themselves. That's what all my good business entrepreneurs do. The ones who are taking careful notes, I know I'm going to lose money, because they don't have their own core. They don't listen to their own counsel. I listen to everybody, but I do what comes from my gut and feels right.”

5. She Has A To-Do List

Corcoran tells Inc that she uses to-do lists as a form of productivity. “I organize my to-do list to accomplish the growth I care so much about. It helps me avoid feeling like a jack­rabbit jumping from one task to another and not completing the important things first. I make my to-do list at night, transferring items I couldn't get done that day. I also email items to my assistant as I think of them when I'm traveling or outside the office. I rate the items in order of importance: A, B, or C. The A's are where the gold is.”

Carla Barber, the former Miss Spain, is no stranger to posting stunning and revealing photos on Instagram. She’s also no stranger to posting inspirational messages for her followers. In her most recent photo, her fans were treated to both. Barber posted a stunning swimsuit photo on Instagram. She captioned the photo, "Relax y desconexión al sonido de las olas, nuevamente aquí @secretsbahiareal." (Rough translation: “Relax and disconnect to the sound of the waves, here again.”) She captioned another: "'Fortunatae Insulae,' así nos denominaron los romanos. #islascanarias #fuerteventura #islasafortunadas." (Roughly translated: "'Fortunatae Insulae,' that is what the Romans called us. #canaryislands #fuerteventura #luckyislands.") How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Carla Barber 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 Goes Swimming

If you were to look at Barber’s Instagram account, you will notice that she loves to go to one place in particular. Any place that has a lot of water. Barber spends a lot of time at the beach and by the pool. One of the things she likes to do when she’s there is, naturally, go swimming. Barber has posted several photos of herself in the water, under the water, diving in, and just lounging. "Individuals of various ages, body weights, and health conditions can experience health benefits from swimming. Because performing exercise in water can decrease the impact of body weight on your joints, swimming can be an ideal form of exercise for achieving many goals, ranging from heart health, weight loss, pain management and arthritis management," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Goes Paddleboarding

Swimming isn’t the only thing Barber likes to do when she goes to the beach. She’s also a big fan of going paddleboarding in the ocean. Barber has posted several photos of herself paddleboarding and lying on the board in the ocean on Instagram.

3. She Goes Skiing

Barber doesn’t just like doing activities in the sun and the warm weather. She also likes to spend time in the snow. One of the things that she loves to do in the snow is go skiing. She posted this photo of herself skiing on the slopes on Instagram. She captioned the photo, “Today has been an incredible day of skiing. Powder snow freshly fallen, we have floated while we covered each km of the slopes.” "The best equipment from a protection standpoint that you can get in alpine skiing is a helmet," he says. "You want to make sure that you have equipment that fits you, that's well-tuned, that the bindings are set appropriately for your weight and also for you ski level, so that it functions and releases when it's supposed to be releasing," says Dr. Jonathan Finnoff, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center.

4. She Does Lunges

Barber doesn’t skip leg day when she works out. In fact, she does some pretty difficult leg exercises when she’s working out her lower body. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in a lunge, while using a resistance band, and standing on a medicine ball. Barber appropriately captioned the photo, “Today, more and better.” She also posted this photo on Instagram of herself doing a lunge at home, captioning it, “No excuses.”

5. She Does Yoga

Barber is a big fan of practicing yoga. She was seen on Instagram doing different yoga poses with her friend. Yoga has a lot of benefits for your body. Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is a great way to warm your body up, build muscle, and can even help with injuries. “Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. Yoga is as good as basic stretching for easing pain and improving mobility in people with lower back pain.”

Olivia Dunne is enjoying a little pool time as her Fall semester at LSU kicks in. The 19-year-old gymnast posted a photo of herself wearing a two-piece black swimsuit, captioning the shot, “Shell yea! @vuoriclothing.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dunne 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 Works Hard

“First, I wake up and go to the class, where I’m usually with my teammates. I study [at the communications center] and get schoolwork done,” Dunne tells the New York Post. “[After class] I come home, eat lunch and go right to the gym, where I train for hours. I have conditioning before or after practice, which takes place at football operations. Then, I go straight to the dining hall to eat dinner. After that, I come home [to my dorm] and do my work stuff at night. Making content is definitely time consuming. There’s 100s of takes and then you choose that perfect one for Instagram and TikTok. I probably take an hour or two to create content after practice. But some days I’m so busy, I can't do it all.”

2. She Loves To Surf

Dunne loves the water, and frequently posts pictures of herself surfing. “Surfing can definitely be considered a form of interval training which combines short, high intensity bursts of speed with a recovery phase, repeated during exercise training,” says CSUSM professor Dr. Sean Newcomer, who researches the health benefits of surfing. “Many surfers believe that while surfing is fun, it’s not necessarily a viable form of exercise on its own. This information has so far shown that surfing is very beneficial to the cardiovascular system and is a great part of a healthy lifestyle.”

3. She Scuba Dives

Dunne is fearless—the gymnast loves to scuba dive, sometimes even with sharks. "Seawater contains minerals such as magnesium, sodium, calcium, chloride, and sulfate that have natural benefits for the body," says Abe Malkin, MD. "Magnesium helps moisturize the skin and reduces inflammation. People with skin [issues] like eczema or dryness are recommended to take regular baths in salted solutions or swim in the sea."

4. She Enjoys Swimming

Dunne loves to swim, especially in the ocean. ”Swimming is the fourth most popular sports activity in the United States and a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity,” says the CDC. “Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease. Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people. People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

5. She Loves Meeting New People

Dunne enjoys making new friends, and subverting their expectations of her. “I feel like people can look at me and be like, ‘Oh, she always posts pictures of herself. She’s that gymnast.’ But, whenever I meet new people, they’re always surprised, like, ‘Oh, I didn’t think you talk that much,’ or, ‘I didn’t know you were this friendly.’ I love meeting new people, I really do,” she says.

Anushka Sen is one of India’s most successful young actresses. She’s also a successful YouTuber and has a large presence on Instagram. She just shared a new set of photos this week. In them, she went for a dip in the pool. She captioned it, “Just keep swimming.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Anushka Sen 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 Snorkels

Sen loves to spend time in the water. While on a trip to the Maldives, she made sure to spend time at the beach. Sen did some snorkeling on her trip. She also shared her experience in this vlog on her YouTube channel. In it, Sen and her family jumped off of a boat and went into the ocean.

2. She Does CrossFit

One thing Sen likes to do to stay in shape is CrossFit. She shares a lot of videos from the gym on Instagram. In them, she is seen doing different crossfit exercises. She shared this video of herself doing v-sit crunches, using battle ropes, and doing kettlebell swings. Sen captioned the video, “CrossFit.”

3. She Works Out Her Legs

Sen doesn’t skip leg day. She shares a lot of videos on Instagram of herself doing different leg workouts. In this video, she is seen doing side lunges with an agility ladder, squat jumps, and mountain climbers. She captioned it, “Consistency >>>.” She also posted this video of herself using a leg press machine.

4. She Rides Horses

Sen loves to ride horses as a way of staying in shape. While on her trip to the Maldives, she did some riding. She can be seen on a horse in the same vlog on her channel. In this reel she posted on Instagram, Sen is seen riding on the sand.

5. She Swims

"Relatively few people swim on a regular basis, so large studies looking at the benefits of physical activity in relation to cardiovascular health have tended to lump swimming together with other types of exercise. Plenty of evidence points to lower rates of heart disease among people who do regular, moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise — and swimming laps definitely fits the bill," says Harvard Health. "People who don't like doing laps can try walking or running in water, or doing water aerobics, which is a set of exercises done in waist-deep or higher water that may also use floating devices and weights. Many community centers, YMCAs, and other facilities with pools offer these classes."

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of 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.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
