American college basketball star Cameron Brink is taking surfing lessons from boyfriend Ben Felter, and giving him a shout out on social media. Brink, 21, shared pictures of herself wearing a red and white checked bikini at the beach with Felter. She also posted a snap of the two of them wearing matching black wetsuits. “The best teacher 🏄🏼‍♀️🤍,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brink stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. Core Workouts

Brink shares her workouts online. All that’s needed is a basketball and space to move around. Her basketball core workout consists of the following moves:

  1. Crunches (30 seconds)
  2. Ball toe taps (30 seconds)
  3. Ball pass throughs (30 seconds)
  4. Ball twists (30 seconds)
  5. Ball plank (30 seconds or until failure)

2. Oatmeal and Eggs For Breakfast

A typical breakfast for Brink consists of oatmeal, berries, and scrambled eggs. “There are many varieties of porridge oats, including rolled, quick and instant,” says registered dietitian Victoria Taylor. “Regardless of the type, shape or size, all porridge oats are wholegrains and they all contain a soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which can help lower your cholesterol level if you have 3g or more of it daily, as part of a healthy diet.”

3. Coffee For Energy

Brink loves coffee for both socializing and the energy boost. Coffee is shown to benefit athletes when it comes to their performance. “There is a lot of research to say that a moderate dose of caffeine, equivalent to around 3mg/kg body weight can improve a variety of sports such as endurance activities and high intensity sports,” says Dr. Neil Clarke, Principal Lecturer, School of Life Sciences, Coventry University. “There is also evidence to show that caffeine can reduce muscle pain during exercise and reduce perceived exertion during exercise.”

4. Positive Pressure

Brink thrives under the right type of pressure, as it keeps her competitive and focused. “There’s always pressure,” she says. “I’m good at putting more on myself. Even last year, I was so afraid to lose and I think that was the wrong kind of motivation. This year, I’m putting it into wanting to win and finding the right kind of pressure.”

5. Protecting Her Mental Health

Brink is honest about struggling with mental health, and sees a therapist twice a week. “Everyone has their way of coping,” she says. “I’m really good about being vulnerable. Whenever I’m in a bad mood or not having a good day, people around me will know. Mental health should be seen as hygiene, like brushing your teeth every day; you should be checking in with yourself, so I haven’t been afraid to share that I’ve struggled mentally.”

Wrestling star and singer Harley Cameron is giving fans a sneak peek of a recent photoshoot. Cameron shared a picture of herself posing against a tree in a one piece gold swimsuit, with palms in the background. “I love Gooolllldddddd 💫,” she captioned the post, a tongue-in-cheek nod to Austin Powers. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Cameron 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 Loves To Work Out

Cameron genuinely enjoys working out. “I love exercising and always have!” she says. “I am a qualified personal trainer so ever since studying I found true love and passion for exercise, I think it’s important to incorporate exercises you enjoy doing so that it doesn’t feel like a chore. I train cardio weights and in the ring every week and I’m a very active person so it’s about finding the joy in exercise and the results will naturally come!”

2. Fitness Modeling

Cameron has a background in fitness modeling. “Modeling I have always done since a young age, I think my first job was at 13 modeling for city beach surf in Australia, and I have always loved modeling and worked in different ways in that industry,” she says. “A big part was fitness modeling when I became a bikini competitor, my first fitness magazine was Natural Bodz and I’ve modeled regularly since then.”

3. She Plays the Guitar

Cameron is also a singer who plays the guitar. Studies show playing a musical instrument has been shown to be extremely beneficial for brain health. “It engages every major part of the central nervous system,” says John Dani, PhD.

4. Charity Events

Cameron loves taking part in charity events, which is not just good for others but those who give, too. I recently sang at an amazing charity event called “Dream Mania” which was an incredible fundraising event raising money for the Down Syndrome Foundation Florida and had the honor of singing the entrance song ‘this is me’ for The Greatest Showman, it was a beautiful and incredible night to be a part of where we saw some amazing kids make their dreams come true in the ring. I remember thinking at that moment that ‘this is one of the best moments of my life’ and always will be.

5. Background In Finance

Cameron worked in finance in Australia, and credits her then-boss with giving her the push she needed to go into entertainment. “If it wasn't for having a boss that literally encouraged me to leave the company, someone he had hired to do sales and everything, and his belief in me in that moment, if he didn't have that conversation with me, I wouldn't have done that audition,” she says. “And I wouldn't have gone into theater in the way that I did, and then performing and everything. So I definitely think he had a huge impact on the way that my life went.”

Ashley Benson, star of Her Smell and Spring Breakers, wore a swimsuit this week and why not? It’s basically summertime, if you check out what celebs like Suki Waterhouse, Aleida Nuñez, Becca Edwards, Sammi Hanratty, Kate Hudson and Shama Sikander are up to. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see all the ways the celebs 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. Ashley Benson

Benson finds peace in NYC. “In L.A., I had anxiety all the time with the paparazzi, and my house became my safe place,” she told Vogue. “It made me very codependent with friends and relationships. In New York, I can walk around and be by myself. It gives me a lot of peace.”

2. Aleida Nuñez

“🧘🏽‍♀️✨🙌 🧿Les quiero compartir que practico la meditación hace mucho tiempo y en este mundo lleno de incertidumbre y ansiedad te ayuda a crear un estado de conciencia y paz…#meditación nunca abandones tu alma✨,” Aleida once wrote. Translation: “🧘🏽‍♀️✨🙌 I want to share with you that I have practiced meditation for a long time and in this world full of uncertainty and anxiety it helps you create a state of consciousness and peace…#meditation never abandon your soul✨.”

3. Suki Waterhouse

Suki once said about working out: “I do, I really enjoy it; I need to, I’m obsessed. I stopped working out recently as I was on a film and I was really tired and I then went to the gym a few times and found I was so much more able to perform with my body feeling that strength through it again. And mentally, I was going on set and able to do my job better as I felt stronger again. I do different things - I do Vinyasa yoga and I’ll work out with a trainer Dan Roberts in Richmond Park near where I live. I do drills and running there - it’s an amazing place. I love the idea of running up hills and rolling around in mud - it’s my favourite time of the week and Dan really pushes me. He’s hardcore. I also go to TriYoga and hot yoga (not Bikram) and I do occasional Pilates, which I should do more of."

4. Becca Edwards

The Ex on the Beach star is often getting some sun. Just remember: “Tanning under the sun or a sunlamp may give modest protection to those who are able to tan well. But the protection it gives does not come close to that derived from the use of a sunscreen. The larger issue is that any change in skin color from tanning is a sign of damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Repeated exposure to UV radiation — whether from the sun or a tanning bed — increases your risk of premature skin aging and skin cancer,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. Sammi Hanratty

Yellowjackets’ Hanratty has used TRX bands during her workouts. “Suspension training does it all. It improves muscular strength and endurance while simultaneously improving joint mobility and flexibility. Due to the unstable nature of suspension training, the exercises constantly engage your core and improve your balance. There is no limit to the progressions you can do, and everyone from the most novice exercisers to the most advanced athletes can benefit from using the TRX Suspension Trainer,” says ACE Fitness.

6. Kate Hudson

“I’m definitely challenging myself in new ways, which I need,” she told People. “I like to be able to set new goals to see what I can accomplish, and I love how flexible and strong I feel after a good workout, especially doing Pilates, which never gets easier.”

7. Shama Sikander

Love with James Milliron helped Shama through a depression. “I had just met him. I was still going through my bouts of depression. I would get depressed every now and then. When I would go through these feelings I just did not want anybody around me, I wanted people around me, but I would just push them to go away from me. And nobody ever dared to go against that decision, everybody would leave. But he was the only one who did not leave,” she said, according to Pinkvilla.com.

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.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

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 … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
