Top Chef star Brooke Williamson is having a well-deserved break in Kukui'ula, Kauaʻi. Williamson, 44, shared pictures and video of herself relaxing on a raft, wearing a monochrome one-piece swimsuit. “Serious island style morning off ⛵️,” she captioned the shot. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Williamson 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. Healthy At Home


Williamson focuses on healthy, whole foods at home. "We try to eat really healthy at home because when we go out to dinner it's kind of a free for all," she says. "I always have cucumbers in my refrigerator. My son loves cucumbers, and they also add texture to any salad or relish — they're also full of water and they're hydrating. I have salmon in the house a lot. I'll sear off salmon or make sashimi and that makes me feel good as a parent. I also always have grains. I do a lot of sushi rice at home, and I add in black rice or brown rice to cut it with a little bit more fiber."

2. Working Out For Sanity

Williamson exercises not just for the physical benefits, but to support her mental health, too. “I’m not a great traveler so just maintaining that and some sanity is really due to my exercise regimen and I can really feel it when I don’t exercise and I don’t get that energy out in the right way – I feel like my life suffers,” she says. “Even from an energy standpoint to maintain the energy to do it all. I feel like it’s so important to maintain sanity.”

3. Fish Sauce on Everything

Williamson uses fermented fish sauce to give her dishes that extra bit of umami. "Fish sauce is an ingredient that I add to almost everything," she says. "I'll make turkey bolognese like once a week and add fish sauce; it turns it into something that you can't stop eating. People always say, 'What is that flavor?' It's kind of slightly recognizable but not to the point where it feels like it doesn't work. That's something that really enhances flavor."

4. Biking Outdoors

Brooke-WilliamsBrooke Williams/Instagram

Williamson went on a cycling trip through the Italian countryside, and says it was a great challenge. “I think I had to train myself on how to be on a real road bike which is not a no brainer!” she says. “It’s actually a scary piece of equipment and if you don’t use it properly, it can kill you. I felt that I needed to up my game on how to be on a real bicycle outside and not on a stationary bike like I was used to. It was also about sitting on a saddle for such a long period of time that’s really where I struggled the most sitting on those bike seats. It seems like it would be nothing when you’re talking about biking hundreds of miles – but it’s not nothing!”

5. SoulCycle and Boot Camp

Williamson keeps it interesting with her workouts. “I definitely am a SoulCycler but every so many months I do this Boot Camp with Lacey Stone and I love her,” she says. “She does a 2 week boot camp called Reboot which I am actually doing and it’s 2 weeks of no drinking, eating super clean and I prep all my own meals. I still go to my spin classes, but 3 days a week, I go to her Boot Camp in the morning and the next one will be at The Wall - so I’ll be there.”

1. This is How She Eats

“When at home it’s usually fairly clean. Protein, veg, a grain, and healthy fats. I try to eat organic produce and grass fed animal protein. I also incorporate beans and plant based protein options. We do eat out a few nights a week and I’m not too strict about what is on my plate. I’ll eat bread and dessert. I try to have an 80/20 balance. I spent many years focusing on my body and what I consumed, but since having kids everything has been put into perspective,” she told Body + Soul. “Now I eat well for longevity, but also try to enjoy social experiences without overthinking things.”

2. She Says, Wear Your Sunscreen

“One thing that I wish I did more of—and now it’s so much a part of my routine—is sunscreen. The sun is so strong in Australia and my parents were always hounding me about wearing it, and I was always, ‘Oh no. I don’t need that!’ Of course, you’re 15 years old and you don’t think you’re ever going to age, but it’s something that, when growing up in Australia was so, so important. Now, I really see the effects of it. I will not leave the house—I will not leave my bedroom in the morning—without wearing sunscreen,” she told New Beauty.

3. She Takes These Two Supplements

The Fashion Awards 2021 - VIP ArrivalsDave Benett/Getty Images

“The two supplements I consistently take are a a multivitamin and Omega 3. Sometimes I add vitamin D, vitamin C, and a probiotic. I love listening to Dr Rhonda Patrick (Found My Fitness) and Dr Andrew Huberman (Huberman Lab) discuss supplementation on their podcasts. I obviously check with my own doctor too,” she told Body + Soul.

4. Her Pregnancies Affected Her Body Image

“As someone who’s had two babies in two years, I’ve been through the wringer in terms of body image. I’ve seen my body drastically change twice now. I gained 40 pounds in my first pregnancy, 37 my second. That’s a lot of weight over the course of two years,” she told New Beauty. “As miraculous as it is to see your body change and grow, it’s also a real adjustment once you’ve given birth. You have to learn to love this body that you’re in…you have to learn to embrace it. That’s something that I’ve really been working over the past two years. I never thought I would have the confidence to be able to design and then show the world my body in a swimsuit.”

5. This is Her Morning Routine

“I usually wake at 5:15am to drink my coffee (in peace!), then exercise. I either run or do some form of strength training before the kids wake at 7. I’ve always been an early riser and I find it’s the only time I’m motivated to work out. Once James and Elle wake, it becomes a little wild, so I really enjoy the ‘me time,’” she told Body + Soul.

1. She Starts Her Morning With a Nutrition Shake

Be sure to use pure ingredients when mixing your morning smoothing: vegan protein, whole fruits, no additives. “Why would you drink something that contains carrageenan (a type of seaweed linked to stomach issues); maltodextrin, crystalline fructose, and sucralose (all forms of sugar); cellulose gum and gel (made from chemically digested wood chips); zinc oxide (also used in diaper rash medications); and thirty-six other ingredients—which is exactly what you get when you drink a container of some pre-made “protein” shakes? Is this helping to foster good gut health? Or does it make you afraid that one night the Toxic Avenger is going to crawl out of your belly button?,” asks the Zero Belly Diet.

2. She Doesn’t Diet

“I splurge more on lunch than I do dinner, because I have the rest of the day to burn it off,” she explains. “I love to eat, and I eat anything and everything I want, just in moderation. I honestly can’t stick to a diet to save my life,” she has said. Use oils in moderation, for example. “Choose healthy vegetable oils like olive, canola, soy, corn, sunflower, peanut, and others, and avoid partially hydrogenated oils, which contain unhealthy trans fats. Remember that low-fat does not mean ‘healthy,’” says Harvard Health.

3. She Intermittent Fasts

“I wake up every day. I eat around 2:30, 3 o'clock and then I maybe eat something at like 6:00 or 6:30 and then I don't eat again or I'll just eat like once a day. I mean, I really don't have a strict diet. I definitely am not the healthiest person at all.I think a lot of it has to do with genetics. Like my mom eats brownies for breakfast and pasta all day long. Like she doesn't eat meat. All she wants is pasta, pizza. And we always have a cake or cookies, brownies. She's always having wine. So I mean, it really is just genetics. I wish I had her metabolism.”

4. Here Was Her Quarantine Workout

During the quarantine, she said: “So I used to not work out and now, especially during this coronavirus we have a couple of Peloton bikes and treadmill and whatnot. So I can't really see my trainer and I've just been doing that. Like I went through two weeks where I did it every single day. I don't care if it was like 10 o'clock in the morning or 1:00 AM at night. Like I was like, I hadn't worked out today. I have to go now…I was going to OrangeTheory before. I love that. That is such a good workout. That is amazing. So I love OrangeTheory, but really just working out and it's all in moderation.”

5. She Loves Chik-Fil-A

“My sister has Starbucks every day. That's her thing. Mine is Chick-fil-A. I literally eat Chick-fil-A every day at, like, 2:30. I go to Chick-fil-A like they already know what I want. So for three, maybe four weeks, Corey was like, ‘Mo, you guys can't even go there.’ This was in March”—when the pandemic first started—“when we really had no idea. I mean, we still don't really know, but I mean, when we really had no clue what was going on, he was like, no, you can't go to Chick-fil-A, you can't even go through the drive through. We got in this huge argument one day, because finally I was like, I don't know if I'm having withdrawals or like what's happening, but I'm going a little insane here. I just want some sense of normalcy. Like can I please go to Chick-fil-A?” she said to Us Weekly. (She did. She also dipped her own food into the Chick-fil-A sauce, for a taste of her fave.)

One of Hewitt’s biggest skincare secrets? Keeping it moisturized. Hewitt shared her favorite moisturizer and lip balm with Good Housekeeping.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Hewitt tells People that she wants to be a role model for others. In it, she shared the advice she gives to young girls. “When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor. Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

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

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

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.
