Bella Thorne is enjoying the sea and sunshine in Cancun, Mexico. The 24-year-old actress posted a series of pictures of herself wearing a bright bedazzled bikini, with the tongue-in-cheek-caption, “This is Ariel now, feel old yet?” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Thorne 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 Practices Pilates

Thorne attends regular Pilates reformer sessions. “Both the equipment and the exercises can be modified and adjusted to any body, which makes it perfect for those looking to tone up, rehab from an injury, train for a particular hobby or sport, or for those looking for low impact, full-body workout,” says Tianna Strateman, Vice President of Training and Experience for Club Pilates.

2. She’s Not Vegan Because… Bacon

Thorne is not vegan, because she finds bacon too hard to resist (understandable!). She eats plenty of vegan food though, thanks to her sister’s diet. “I'm not, I'm so sorry guys,” she says. “I really want to be though. My sister's a vegan so we eat a lot of vegan food but man, bacon. Oh, gets me every time.”

3. She Doesn’t Use Scales

Thorne stopped weighing herself after realizing it was doing more harm than good. “Almost every day I have been to the gym in the last six weeks,” she says. “Turns out I only lost one pound of fat and gained one pound of muscle. Throw away your scales ladies because they don’t mean s**t. As long as YOU feel better and u like the way u look that’s all that matters.”

4. She Loves Pasta

Thorne loves to indulge in a bowl of spaghetti every now and then. “Whole wheat pasta is a better option, thanks to its higher fiber content – this will help to fill you up, support digestive health…” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “That said if you prefer white pasta, fresh pasta, which has a higher protein content, has less of an impact on blood sugar levels than the equivalent portion of another popular carb, white rice. Whole grain pasta is lower in calories and contributes more vitamins and minerals than the white, refined equivalent, making it a healthier choice.”

5. She Doesn’t Do Traditional Cardio

Thorne prefers strength training to cardio. “My brother is my trainer. He's getting into the UFC, and he does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts,” she says. “He's got me doing circuit training and weight lifting—I never do cardio. A lot of people think that cardio burns off weight better than weight lifting does...but weight lifting works your muscles, getting them toned while losing fat.”

2. Bella Thorne

Actress Bella Thorne has never been afraid to show off her body. She posted a new reel on Instagram of herself enjoying a day on a boat in Cabo, while wearing a white bikini. Thorne has this body for a reason. She told HollywoodLife that she didn’t let the pandemic stop her from living a healthy lifestyle. She says that she did a lot of at-home workouts, citing, “Yoga, some weight training, and a bit of boxing,” as her favorites.

3. Rebecca Judd

Model Rebecca Judd took a trip to gorgeous Whitehaven Beach, and she broke out a black bikini for the occasion. Judd tells BodyAndSoul that she makes sure to check in with herself during her busy days, and does things that help her deal with stress. “I’m always conscious of checking in on myself and how I’m feeling and thinking. I have strategies I use when I’m feeling stressed or struggling to focus. They usually involve deep breathing or doing an at-home pilates class or other little things like writing lists and putting my phone away so I’m more present with my children.”

4. Alyssa Milano

Wellness is extremely important to actress Alyssa Milano, and she revealed her definition of it to The Cut. “It’s an overall sense of feeling good, whether that be mentally or physically or health-wise. Just feeling good about who you are and the choices you make. Honestly, I think it’s really important that we take care of ourselves, and with the amount of things that I juggle in a day, as far as trying to balance motherhood and being a working mom, I don’t think I could do it without a sense of wellness.”

5. Liberty Poole

Love Island and Dancing on Ice star Liberty Poole spent time in a jacuzzi this week. In the photo she posted on Instagram, Poole’s incredible skin was on display. She has this gorgeous skin for a reason, and broke down her skincare routine and tips to Closer Online. "I love a melt-on-skin cleanser that helps remove all your make-up and a really great moisturiser is key. I use the Simple Moisturiser, because it does a nice job and is a really good price, too. On my lips, I always just use Vaseline, which helps keep them juicy, especially in winter. I also can't get enough of the Soap & Glory 3-in-1 body wash, it's incredible, you can even use it to shave."

6. Hilary Rhoda

Model Hilary Rhoda celebrated her birthday this week, and she posted a photo on Instagram of herself in a pink bikini to celebrate. Rhoda revealed a lot of her exercise secrets to Elle, and she says that there’s one fitness class she’s a big fan of. “I love SoulCycle. I don't know if you can still even call it a trend at this point because it's been around for a long time now. For me, I never get sick of it. It's just a great workout. It's so convenient too because they're all over the city and they're every hour, so you can go after work, before work, on your lunch break, any time.”

7. Gemma Atkinson

Actress, author, and BBC radio host, Gemma Atkinson, rocked a pale green bikini on Instagram this week. In an interview with GettheGloss.com, Atkinson revealed some of her workout secrets, including that she likes to plan out her workouts for the next day. “I write my programme down the night before, and find the workout sets me up for the day, and helps give me some structure. It really helps to give me focus and provides a boost of natural endorphins.”

8. Charlotte Crosby

Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, enjoyed a pool day this week, and she wore a strapless brown one piece there. Crosby opened up about her wellness secrets in an interview with NowToLove. She revealed that she isn’t afraid to have some “cheat days”, once in a while, and that they help her stick to her healthy lifestyle. “You don't have to be stupidly disciplined. It's about having a balance of everything. It's important to allow yourself a cheat day or two, otherwise you have more chance of quitting altogether. It's good to have that one day where you eat what you want, because then you work towards it.”

Emilia Mernes has become one of the most popular Latin singers in the past few years. She has also acquired a strong following on Instagram. Mernes recently posted a stunning new set of photos. In it, she posed in a green swimsuit top with jeweled straps and a pink skirt, as well as a sheer pink top, swimsuit top, and denim skirt. She captioned the post, “Behind the smoke you can’t see.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emilia Mernes 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 Swims

Mernes spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go to the beach and go swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. In this set of photos she posted, Mernes is seen on a boat and on a paddleboard. She captioned the post, “Made in Argentina.”

2. She’s Active

Mernes opened up about her wellness routine in an interview. She says that she lives a pretty active life. “If I am skinnier it is because I am a thousand. But like everything, I eat well. The people around me know that I eat, it's not that I'm skinny, it's because I'm active, I dance a lot, I rehearse a lot, I'm doing things every day and I don't train, I should. Now I'm going to start swimming, but well the thing is that I never have a day off.”

3. She Speaks Out About Beauty Standards

In the same interview, Mernes opened up about her past insecurities and spoke out about unfair beauty standards. “I didn't wear muscle or short sleeves because I said 'I have fatter arms' and people are going to judge me for that. I mean, imagine how my head was, really bad. And well, I had a really bad time at that moment and then I understood that it is not like that and that nothing is wrong. But you know what happens? It's that people put me in that place of the Argentine woman, that you have to fulfill a stereotype, that you have to wear these clothes, that you have to say or do this. And she broke my head that she felt that she had to comply with things that society imposes on her that are stupid.”

4. She Admires Mega-Powerful Women

She grew up admiring Thalia, Rihanna and Beyoncé. “I would watch them on TV and I couldn’t believe it. I’d say: ‘I hope one day I can see myself like them!’ Because whenever I listened to them, they instilled a message of power and confidence in me,” she told Billboard.

5. She Benefits From Sun Exposure

"One of the best (and easiest) ways to get vitamin D is by being outside. Our bodies produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight—about 15 minutes in the sun a day is adequate if you’re fair skinned. And since Vitamin D helps your body maintain calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or misshapen bones, soaking in sun may be just what the doctor ordered," says Select Health.

Spring sprung weeks ago and between Coachella, the Revolve fest and the nice weather, the celebs are out celebrating in swimsuits. Brie Larson, Brunella Horna, Kristen Bell, Arabella Chi and more went outside to catch some rays. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see all the ways Brie Larson and many others 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. Brie Larson

Brie pushed herself beyond her limits to train for Captain Marvel. "Being able to hip thrust 400 pounds, deadlift 200 pounds, push my trainer's Jeep, I mean, it's an incredible experience to realize what's inside of you is well beyond what you knew was possible,” she told Insider. "So, I started this journey thinking I'll get strong and I had no idea. I went far beyond what I ever believed was possible for my body.” She added: "I affectionately called myself 'an introvert with asthma' before I got to play Carol Danvers and I started training first out of sheer panic," she said.

2. Brunella Horna

Horna called her pooch “Mi compañero ❤️.” (“My partner.”) “One of the biggest benefits is that dogs force us to get up and move. Depending on the breed, dogs often are energetic and require regular walks. One research study found that dog owners are more likely to report regular physical activity than people who do not own dogs. This helps keep your heart healthier because increased physical activity strengthens heart muscle, making it more efficient as it pumps blood throughout your body,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. Kristen Bell

Bell finds nutrients in root veggies and tubers. "The sweet potato is a superfood—it's got so many vitamins and minerals," she told Women’s Health. "I'll make, like, eight acorn squash—they're single servings—and put them all in a bowl, and that's a cool thing to have instead of a salad.”

4. Arabella Chi

“Mentally here,” Chi captioned a photo of herself sunbathing. “This weather 🌞,” she captioned another of the sun. Just be sure to wear your sunscreen. “Age spots can affect anyone who has had prolonged sun exposure. While they usually happen to older people, age spots can appear on children and young adults if they have spent a lot of time in the sun or in a tanning bed or even after a single significant sunburn. Women are slightly more likely to develop age spots than men, though both men and women can be affected,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

5. Raai Laxmi

Laxmi scuba dives. “If I could live here 🌊🐠🐬🐡🐟🐙🦈 #freesoul #underwater #scubadiving #justbreathe #newworld #naturelover #reels #instagood #instagram #reelitfeelit #nofilter #trending #love #light #happiness ❤️🧿,” she captioned some scuba images.

6. Alexandra Daddario

“I eat when I’m hungry,” she told PEOPLE. “I try to stay away from anything unnatural, but if you are trying to stay healthy and you get too hungry, it will only be more difficult to stay away from things like too much sugar if you don’t give yourself what you want sometimes. I’m focused on being healthy and not stressing or obsessing over food.”

7. Mariah Carey

Carey once ate a lot of salmon. "It's really hard... my diet, you would hate it," Carey told E! News a few years back. "All you eat is Norwegian salmon and capers every day. That's it." “Protein is an important macronutrient that your body needs for increasing calorie burn, decreasing hunger, and maintaining muscle mass. Not only that, but a diet with a sufficient amount of protein can actually help you to feel full. The RDI for protein is between 46 and 56 grams of protein for an average adult. A 3 oz. salmon fillet will actually give you around 21 grams of protein, which is almost half of the amount of protein you need for the day!” says Eat This, Not That!

Demi Moore, at 58, is as body confident as ever, posing in a swimsuit with her daughters in a new campaign for Andie swimwear. “LDW ready, with @andieswim,” she captioned the photo on Instagram, referring to the long weekend. How does the mom stay so fit while being so busy? Read on to see 5 ways Demi Moore 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 Bikini Photos!


1. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

Demi's approach to life? "It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything. Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am," she told InStyle.

2. She Knows Things Change

“Things do change,” Demi told W Magazine not too long ago. “The biggest difference, I think, is that I’m not in nearly as good shape physically as I have been before, and I have skin going in a direction that I would prefer it not go. There are things that just come with getting older. But I think my big mantra for this year is about acceptance. I was reading this book that was written around 1919, if I am remembering correctly, and it was very of its day. It was discussing all the ‘female’ concerns. There were some horrific suggestions on how to take care of yourself, including putting some kind of acid on your skin. But there was one thing I took away, because I think it’s true—the author said not to frown because at a certain point it will stick. And what speaks to me here is that I do believe that when we hold upset, anger, hurt, pain or bitterness, it ages us and we wear it. That isn’t to say we are always going to feel happy. But it’s important not to hold on to things.”

3. She Was Once a Workout Obsessive

When getting ready for certain revealing scenes in movies, “I cut out carbs, I ran, and I biked, and I worked out on every machine imaginable. I didn’t feel like I could stop exercising,” she wrote in her book. “It was my job to fit into that unforgiving military uniform I’d be wearing in two months in A Few Good Men. Getting in shape for that movie launched the obsession with working out that would consume me over the next five years. I never dared let up.”

4. She’s Used the Mirror

Now Demi is more likely to use the Mirror, the workout device that is an actual mirror on your wall, with built-in videos that play on it. "15 min at level 1 that’s doable … right? I am stalling!" Demi wrote once in a post. "This is going to be my next jam. Okay, here I go, wish me luck."

5. She Loves Andie Swimwear

"Demi was an early investor," Andie's founder and CEO, Melanie Travis, told InStyle. "We've always talked about what would make sense to do together, and then back in December of 2020 — in anticipation of a successful vaccine rollout and then what would hopefully be a great summer of friends and family, being able to travel, and get together again, across the United States — we felt like this could be the perfect summer to do a campaign together."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. 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. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
