Spanish star Carmen Lomana is proof-positive there is no age limit when it comes to looking fabulous in a bathing suit. The 74-year-old has been enjoying the sun and sea in St. Tropez, and posted a picture of herself wearing a black and white swimsuit, sitting by a turquoise pool. “Despedida de unos días estupendos (Saying goodbye to a great few days) #StTropez,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Lomana 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 Swears by Nivea Cream

No fancy face creams required for Lomana—she swears by humble Nivea to keep her skin supple. “What a wonder! Every time I open the can of @nivea_es its scent brings me to memory scenes from my childhood,” she says. “A ‘must’ in the house and, also in the bag, to guarantee a hydrated skin at all times. Great for nourishing hands, elbows, knees, lips, prevent stretch marks.. this cream works for everything and I always carry it with me.”

2. She Loves to Paddleboard

Lomana is happiest by the sand and sea, and paddleboards whenever she can. Not only is paddleboarding a great full-body workout, it encourages feel-good hormones, “which are great for your mood, self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing,” says physiotherapist Shira Kramer, founder of BeActive Physio in Melbourne.

3. She Enjoys Tea

Lomana enjoys tea as part of her healthy diet, preferring to drink it without milk or cream. “Different teas offer different benefits,” says Beth Czerwony, RD. “Choose what fits your need… Green tea is the champ when it comes to offering health benefits,” says Czerwony. “It’s the Swiss Army knife of teas. It covers a lot of territory. There are so many teas out there. Try different varieties and see what works best for you.”

4. She Loves To Swim

Lomana loves to swim, especially in the ocean. Studies show that being near the ocean is tremendously good for both physical and mental health. "Blue space therapy is a woefully underused method of lifestyle prescription for our physical and mental health. Still, the research proves that taking a dip can boost our wellbeing ten-fold," says Dr. Ruth Micallef. "Wild swimming has a host of research-proven benefits, including improved self-esteem, social confidence, and resilience—to name just a few."

5. She Walks and Hikes

Lomana loves to walk as part of her daily lifestyle, and also for exercise. “The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

I went on a Yoga retreat // an invitation to the heart of @agustinaechegoyen 🧘🏽 ♀️❤️// We slept two nights in a treehouse with 12 girls who also joined @mujeres.conscientes. We meditated, we chatted, we had time to get in touch with nature, with each other and with ourselves. We ate well, laughed, rested and obviously, we did a lot of yoga. It was a very special weekend, with very special people 💫 anim️ ️ 🌳 How nice it is to be encouraged to do new things!!”

Sunshine, the life-giving essence of our world, offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond its warm embrace. As the golden rays bathe our skin, they bring forth a cascade of advantages for our physical and mental well-being. First and foremost, sunlight is our primary source of vitamin D, a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and boosting our immune system. Just a short exposure to sunlight can trigger the production of this essential vitamin, warding off deficiencies and reducing the risk of diseases like osteoporosis.

Silva hasn’t always been comfortable with her body. She revealed on the talk show Venga La Alegria that she used to have an eating disorder. “I looked at myself in the mirror and I got desperate because I did not see myself as I wanted to be. Also I did not do my part too, maybe I didn't have the best diet, I did not exercise – but at that time you do not know how to get fit or how to get the body you really want." After a medical scare, Silva has put those struggles behind her.

3. She Loves to Travel

Silva loves to travel, and shared a photo from the Eiffel Tower. “Even with a thousand filters I use, nothing compares to observing her beauty up close...❤️😍,” she captioned it. "Experiencing new places often stimulates positive reactions," says Dr. Esteban Franco-Garcia, a geriatric physician with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, tells Harvard Health. "It helps you remain physically active and offers the brain new challenges." The institution adds: “In fact, a survey of American travelers reported by the Global Coalition on Aging found that 93% felt happier after time away, 77% believed their health improved afterward, and about 80% said travel increased their productivity, energy, and focus.”

4. She Goes on Adventures

“Live to the extreme, as if it were the last and without fear of enjoying yourself to the limit...Thank you @cancun_adventures for this crazy and fun experience, the natural beauty in our country is impressive. 😍🙌🏻,” she captioned a photo of herself on a dune buggy. (“Vive al extremo, como si fuera el último y sin miedo de disfrutar al límite…Gracias @cancun_adventures por esta loca y divertida experiencia, es impresionante la belleza natural que hay en nuestro país. 😍🙌🏻.”)

5. She Loves Tacos

“Mexico I love you, and tacos, well here is proof that it is one of my favorite Mexican foods. 😍👌🏻🙌🏻,” she wrote once, in front of a huge platter of tacos. “Most taco seasoning packets tell you to sprinkle on the seasoning after the meat cooks. But if you take the time to marinate the meat before even cooking it, you'll have a stronger burst of flavor in that taco. Try our fajita marinade for steak or chicken, or this easy marinade with homemade taco seasoning for fish and shrimp,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

Read on to see all the ways the stars 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. Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra tells Women Fitness that she tries to eat healthy, but also still makes time for some cheat days. She says that she believes in moderation and balance when it comes to eating. “Some days, I eat whatever I want as long as I’m exercising enough. My biggest struggle is my cravings for sweets, but I’ve learned to take it easy on myself and get the cravings out of the way so I don’t obsess over them. My ultimate goal is to eat healthy all week and have Sunday as my cheat day where I can eat as much as I want and whatever I want.”

2. Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello loves to give back to her community. She not only helps promote healthy body image and mental health, she also supports causes and activists. Last year, Cabello donated money to grassroots causes and activists. She explained her reasons for doing so to The Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve realized there’s so much more I can and must do to support others who are doing the work to heal our communities…. Grassroots organizers are faced with the exhaustion, emotional burden and trauma that comes with fighting against inequitable systems. Our hope is to offer access to the necessary support they may need as they continue their critical work advocating for social justice.”

3. Lele Pons

YouTube sensation and singer, Lele Pons, decided to work with a trainer during the first stage of lockdown. She worked with a trainer everyday and changed her diet, and after two months she saw results. Pons posted a before and after photo on Instagram, captioning it, “RESULTS, more than 2 months of hardcore workouts and diet with @dianamaux ! Feeling great, love you Diana!”

4. Nina Dobrev

Actress Nina Dobrev likes to eat a healthy and well-rounded diet. Her trainer, Stephen Moyer, broke down the diet he helped Dobrev craft to Shape. “I stress a diet that is balanced,” Moyer said. “It's not no-carb or low-carb; it's correct-carb (for all I know, I coined this term). Very few processed foods. Lots of vegetables. No diet should be too restrictive. For all the people out there against calorie counting, you really can't progress in your knowledge of nutrition until you understand your body's relationship to calories. It's calorie awareness, not calorie counting.”

5. Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian has an incredible body, which includes her gorgeous skin. In order to keep up her skin’s appearance, she uses a lot of different skin care products. Kardashian revealed some of her favorite products to InStyle, where she revealed that she focuses on moisturizing her face and body. "I feel like my face needs moisturizer," she says. "I kind of put this all over my body too." Kardashian uses Anastasia Hydrating Oil on her body to keep her skin moisturized.

6. Madelyn Cline

Actress Madelyn Cline has incredible skin, and she makes sure to use a lot of different products to take care of it. Cline tells The Cut that she buys products that will take care of different problems her skin might have, and always looks at the ingredients list. “I focus on the active ingredients in a product,” she says. “For cleansing, the active ingredient that has been most effective for me is benzoyl peroxide. For pigmentation and anti-aging, I look for hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, and for dryness, I look for vitamin E.”

7. Nadia Bartel

Nadia Bartel revealed some of her wellness and fitness secrets in a Q&A on her Instagram stories. When she was asked about her diet, Bartel answered that she doesn’t restrict herself and believes in moderation and balance. “I have never calorie counted. I like food too much and I believe in a little of everything in moderation,” she wrote. “'I have always had this approach with food and I think that's why I don't binge too much, as I don't deprive myself of certain foods.”

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
