Read on to see 5 ways Aesha Scott 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 Cheats

Aesha eats healthy, most of the time. However, she is always down for a cheat meal. One of her favorite indulgences? Fake dipping cheese. "I know this is tooootally .... gross but who else loves fake cheese [stuff]," she wrote in one of her Instagram Stories.

2. She Scuba Dives

Working on a boat, it is no surprise that Aesha enjoys scuba diving. “So insanely lucky I get to do this stuff with the guests!!!! @captainjchambers always insisted the interior got to get outside too. Diving the Great Barrier Reef has been on my bucket list for a long time so I cried when he told me I was allowed to go. Unforgettable!!!!!” she captioned a post of one of her dives.

3. She Hikes

Aesha loves traveling and exploring. One of her favorite activities is hiking, which you can find her doing all over the world. “From climbing mountains to sitting in the sun in MIQ, crazy how planes mean you can be in a completely different environment in a matter of hours or days. Imagine if the cave men got told that!” she captioned this post.

4. She Does CrossFit

One of Aesha’s favorite new workouts? CrossFit. She recently tried it out and shared her workout with her followers. “I actually LOVE CrossFit!!! It was just one class so know but the style was exactly how I like. Rounds where you swap between a couple of exercises so you’re always changing. Kind of like F45 but maybe slightly less changes. Father Fitman even touched me with his penis and told me I can be one of seven wives!!!!! (Joking 🤣) This is genuinely not sponsored I just was curious to see for myself what everyone talks about!!!” she captioned her post.

5. She Plays Tennis

Aesha also plays tennis. Per the USTA, playing tennis just 3 hours per week can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by 56%. Another long term study found that tennis players add 9.7 years to their life over sedentary individuals. It is also great for relieving stress, improving bone health, heart health, and losing weight.

Humber isn’t afraid of standing up for herself. After being criticized for her appearance on Below Deck, Humber responded in this Instagram post. “Picture evidence of me being an aggressive, bossy black woman. Valuing actions, dialogue and consent. It felt like somewhat of a human sacrifice throwing my 22 year old self into a reality tv show. Thank you god for removing my fear of failure and judgment, truly everything missing was on the other side.”

2. She’s Grateful

Grateful,Word,Written,On,Wood,Block.,Grateful,Text,On,Table,Shutterstock

After her departure from Below Deck, Humber opened up about her relationship with Captain Sandy Yawn on Watch What Happens Live. She says that despite everything, she is grateful for the experience. “[The] status is no status,” she said. “Last time we checked up, she was just my captain and now she’s just my ex-captain. But yeah, no, I think about her often, and honestly, she taught me some very hard lessons that nobody’s been able to teach me in my 22 years before the show. And I’m grateful for her.”

3. She Roller Skates

Humber does a lot of outdoor activities to stay in shape. One thing she likes to do is go roller skating. She did some skating at the beginning of the year. Humber shared these photos on Instagram from the day. She captioned the post, “January 1st.” Skating can help with balance and coordination.

4. She Spends Time Outside

Humber spends a lot of time outside. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the great outdoors. Humber shared this video of herself spending time at the beach. She captioned it, “Miss Jill Scott.” She also shared this video of herself seeing a ray in the ocean, captioning it, “Someone special danced for me this morning. Beauty queen spotted ray looped back around to hang out and wave hello.”

5. She Swims

Humber spends a lot of time by the water. Naturally, she likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this set of videos on Instagram of a trip she took to Saint Barthelemy.

Former Below Deck star Georgia Rose has transformed her physique since leaving the show—and it’s clear all her hard work is paying off. The model posted a cheeky picture of herself looking gorgeous in black bikini bottoms (holding a hat to protect her modesty). “When we had our own little treehouse above our own little private beach 🌿🌞🌊 @georgianatalie_ Missing you G x,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Rose 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 Hard At the Gym

Rose is incredibly focused while at the gym, and posted a video of herself doing cardio and strength training to show what her routine looks like. “❗️Turn your pain into power❗️@grapefitt getting me get back ontop 📍 @hustlefitstudio #fitness #workout #thecomeback #workout #hustle.”

2. She Practices Moderation

Rose lost weight after leaving Below Deck by watching her portions and focusing on a healthy lifestyle. “Since I went on @belowdecksailing I’ve gotten a lot healthier, I’ve actually lost a wild 9kgs (almost 20 pounds),” she says. “Not through some drastic diet or anything, just watching my portions and what I eat, working out, partying less (thanks to lockdown).” Portion control has been shown to be effective for healthy weight loss—but it's not always easy. “Large portions make you eat more. If I could teach just one thing about nutrition, it would be this: Larger portions have more calories. Funny? Portion size is anything but obvious,” says Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at NYU. “Research repeatedly confirms that larger food servings not only provide more calories but also have two other effects. They encourage people to eat more and to underestimate how much they are eating. How to deal with the portion size problem? Use small plates and cups in the dining hall. When eating out, order appetizers, not entrees. Order the small size, or share large portions with friends.”

3. Nothing Is Off-Limits

Rose works hard and is disciplined about her fitness—but still allows herself treats and cheat meals. “This is the happiest and healthiest I’ve felt in a long time- I still eat a lot of Nandos, always order dessert, and I can’t run a 5km (yet) but I’ve still come a long way, so yeah,” Rose says. “Having a regularly scheduled cheat day each week can actually be good for weight loss by preventing binges, reducing cravings, providing a mental break from dieting, and boosting metabolism—if it’s done in a healthy way,” says Carolyn Williams, PhD, RD. “By healthy way, I mean using it as a day when you give yourself a break from measuring every portion and counting calories and allowing yourself a little leeway to enjoy a favorite food or two. You still consume plenty of water, and try to get fruits and vegetables in, but in a more relaxed way. What’s not considered healthy (or good for weight loss) is to use a cheat day as a time when you go to extremes with eating or binges.”

4. She Gets Botox

Rose is open about using Botox to keep wrinkles at bay. "Remember when Botox was a taboo subject? Now when someone mentions it, nobody raises an eyebrow 😉 Dr Dominique at @skinrenewalcapequarter doing what she does best ❤️🙏 #itstime #preventativecare #selfcare #botox #skinrenewalsa #skinrenewalcapequarter,” she captioned a video of herself getting Botox injected above her eyebrows.

5. She Loves to Kayak

Rose says Kayaking is “One of the best ways to clear your head (especially if you fall in the freezing Cape Town water).” “For people who just run and cycle, they tend to not have a lot of muscle mass in the upper body,” says Dr. François Billaut, an exercise physiology professor at Laval University in Quebec and the former head physiologist for the Canadian national kayaking team. “Kayaking offers a balance.”

6. She Enjoys Gelato

Rose is a big fan of delicious gelato. “When buying single-serve frozen treats, choose one with no more than 150 calories per serving, then stick to one serving,” says Anna Taylor, MS, RD, LD, CDE. “If you’re comparing items pick the one lowest in saturated fat and sugar.”

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
