1. She Loves Pilates

Celebrities can’t seem to get enough of Pilates. It fixes your posture, strengthens your body, makes you long and lean, with accentuated curves. Cardi B definitely goes for Pilates as a key workout. It helps keep her figure tight and build muscle, in addition to other strength training floor exercises. "Some of the principles that guide the Pilates method include concentration on each movement, use of the abdomen and low back muscles, flowing movement patterns that are precise and a steady and controlled breathing. Depending on the exercise, Pilates routines can be performed on specially-designed apparatuses, including a bed-like structure called a reformer, or on a mat or blanket," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. Dance Is Always a Part of the Routine

Not surprising, Cardi B loves to dance as part of her workout routine. Whether it’s brushing up on choreography for a performance or music video, she has always prioritized dancing. She’s very open about the fact that she used to be a stripper, which if you’ve ever tried to pole dancing classes then you know that’s an incredible workout for your body.

3. She Loves Barbecue, and Healthy Foods

Cardi B loves treating herself to some delicious barbecue and other favorite foods of hers, but she finds healthy ways to incorporate nutritious foods into her diet, too. Jackfruit is a great alternative, if you’re looking to have that barbecue flavor. It really absorbs the spices and gives off the texture of meat.

4. She Stays Hydrated With Tea

She’s known for drinking plenty of water, which leads to a healthier body and healthier skin. In addition to water, she also enjoys weight loss tea. She began consuming the tea to take off a little extra weight, but noticed it also curves her appetite a little bit. "drinking water can promote satiation because it passes through the system quickly, stretching the stomach. "This sends messages to your brain signaling fullness," Melina Jampolis, an internist and board-certified physician nutrition specialist, tells Johns Hopkins.

3. She Loves Fruit

On her social media, Cardi B said she loved fruit. It makes her feel good and keeps her energized! Some of her favorites include bananas, clementines, pomegranate seeds, raspberries, and pineapple. According to the Mayo Clinic, eating the rainbow can have some incredible benefits like eyesight improvement, lowering health risks, and supporting blood flow. "Green fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that are shown to protect the retina in the eye and preserve vision and prevent blindness. White, tan and brown fruits and vegetables help maintain heart health and lower the risk of certain cancers."

Cardi B, Grammy Award-winning rapper and new mom of three, has been candid about her journey to lose the baby weight, and just had her third child. Sharing her workouts and thoughts with fans on social media, Cardi is tackling postpartum fitness with a focus on cardio and flexibility. Known for her hit songs and political outspokenness, she’s also using this time to keep herself physically and mentally active.


1. She Does Cardio

Cardi B.2Cardi B./Instagram

Cardi talked about her approach to working out on X. She says that she is doing a lot of cardio workouts. “This is my third baby and postpartum is a little different from my first two… I’m not doing heaving lifting, no muscle straining, squatting none of that… just cardio.”

2. She Calls Out Hypocrisy

Cardi B.1Cardi B./Instagram

In another X post, Cardi called out the hypocrisy of her haters. “Sometimes to avoid postpartum depression you gotta keep your mind busy, and for me that’s work and staying active… but you know what’s funny?? Y’all dragged me down when I gained 15 pounds because I was 5 months pregnant but now yall fake concerned and wanna talk about pressure??? Y’all said I was pregnant to avoid working now that you see I’m still at it it’s something else??”

3. She Uses A StairMaster

Cardi B.3Cardi B./Instagram

Cardi is seen on a stairmaster in her Instagram story. Stair workouts have a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Some data suggest that using stairs in your everyday life, such as by walking up a flight or two instead of taking the elevator, is a burst of intense exercise that may stave off metabolic disease.”

4. She Stretches

Cardi likes to stretch on a regular basis. She talked about this in a video on TikTok. “Whew, you can’t build Rome in a day. But can you? I’ve been working out lately for two hours a day, and then I stretch for an hour. I want to be able to be as flexible as I was before I had my son [Wave], but my real goal is to be as stretchable and flexible as I was when I was a stripper.”

5. She Speaks Out

Cardi is known for being politically outspoken. In 2020, she did an interview with then Presidential-candidate Joe Biden for ELLE. In it, she shared her desires for the country. "It's important to have free [health care] because look what is happening right now. Of course, I think we need free college. And I want Black people to stop getting killed and no justice for it. I'm tired of it. I'm sick of it."

Nicki Minaj, the iconic rapper and songwriter, has now added being a mom to her list. After giving birth to her first child, she focused hard on her body and health, incorporating good habits into her daily routine while maintaining her curves. The proof is on display in her latest post in a swimsuit. "Global Ambassador of @maximbetusa & creative director of @maximmag - let the games begin 🎀💕," she captioned it. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nicki Minaj 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 Dances To Shed The Weight

Dancing is a big part of Nicki Minaj‘s workout routine. She really enjoys it and she’s good at it. I mean, just rewatch the Anaconda music video if you need a reminder that she brings it on the dance floor. With the rehearsals and performances Nicki puts on, dancing is a perfect exercise routine for her. "The best kinds of dancing to encourage people to take up are those which develop cooperation, either with a partner or within a set. Each type has its own qualities and makes its own demands but there should be something suitable for almost everyone in your area. Even wheelchair-users have their own formation-dancing teams, providing a good non-competitive alternative to basketball," says one study.

2. She Allows a Cheat Now and Then

When she wants a cheat meal, she goes right for the burgers and other classic junk food, but she aims to balance it back out during the week. A burger or a slice of pizza won’t be detrimental to your health if you balance it out with greens and exercise. The occasional cheat meal is ok if you offset the extra calories somewhere else. “If you feel less deprived by eating that piece of cake, or burger and fries, and don’t feel you have to order one of everything off the menu, it could lead to better long-term outcomes,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD.

3. She Prioritizes Cardio

Nicki aims for 30-40 minutes of cardio, generally 3 or 4 days a week. One of her favorite ways to squeeze in cardio is by using the elliptical. It gets the job done, leading to a good sweat session, and has less of an impact on your joints.

4. She's Not Too Hard On Herself

With Nicki Minaj‘s diet, she’s far from strict and goes easy on herself. She definitely tries to eat healthy the majority of the time, by incorporating a lot of greens, chicken, salads, and fruits into her diet. She also makes an effort to drink enough water, sometimes excessively approaching 2 gallons sometimes. She says it also helps to detox her skin.

5. Nicki Loves Strength Training

Nicki does weight training 3 to 4 times a week and adds it into her full body workout. Having the utmost confidence in her body is important to her, but her main priority is staying healthy and focusing on toning her muscles. "As you incorporate strength training exercises into your fitness routine, you may notice improvement in your strength over time. As your muscle mass increases, you'll likely be able to lift weight more easily and for longer periods of time. If you keep it up, you can continue to increase your strength, even if you're not in shape when you begin," says the Mayo Clinic.

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
