Christina Trevanion is showing off her slimmed-down figure in a bathing suit and revealing all of her diet and fitness secrets. The Bargain Hunt star rocks a swimsuit in one of her latest social media posts, throwing her fans into a frenzy. “It may sound rather naive, but it has taken me 41 years to realise that physical well being is equally as important as your mental health. My 30’s were spent running around making sure that everyone else was ok, being a parent and wife, with a fledgling business and a tv career meant that I had very little time to focus on anything other than every day survival. As a result for over a decade I completely forgot about ‘me’. In my 40’s I have finally realised that, rather than putting myself at the bottom of the pile, I really needed to start looking after myself too,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “I can safely say that I have never felt healthier, happier, stronger or more fulfilled… long may it continue! Stop running around pleasing everyone else and make time to look after YOU folks, self care is critical and it’s revolutionary!” She then explained how she got into the best shape of her life. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Christina Trevanion 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 Prioritizes Self-Care

Christina maintains that prioritizing self-care is key when it comes to taking control of your health. “Let me be clear, self care isn’t about being selfish, it means taking care of yourself so that you can be healthy, you can be well, you can do your job, you can help and care for others, you can be the person you want to be, and you can do all the things you need to and want to accomplish in a day,” she writes in the post.

2. She Exercises Daily

Christina revealed that she works out every day. “Personally, I have worked towards this by taking time every day to exercise,” she says. In this post she added the hashtag “sunrise yoga” – as yoga is one of her go-to workouts. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

3. She Put Down the Bottle

Christina also reveals that she “ditched booze” to get in shape, “apart from the odd g&t, and a glass of wine with friends.” Why is this a good idea? Not only does drinking leave you with a hangover, making it less likely that you will exercise the next day, but alcohol is filled with empty calories.

4. She Changed Her Diet

Christina also maintains that “eating healthily,” helped her achieve all of her diet and fitness goals. Most nutritionists recommend cutting calories for weight loss.

5. She Just Says “No”

One thing Christina has learned on this journey? “Realising that saying ‘no’ to things, in order to preserve this hard fought equilibrium is completely acceptable,” she writes. “Saying no to things that I would ordinarily have said yes to but without the associated guilt trip has taken me a long time to achieve, both in a professional and personal capacity. I have finally realised my own boundaries and have started to respect them, rather than ignore them for the sake of pleasing other people.”

No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service.

She captioned the post, “It’s Sedona 4 me.” Fuller also shared these photos of herself walking with her dog in Nashville. She captioned that post, “Home. And I’m never leaving. Missed y’all.”

2. She Plays Golf

Fuller is an avid golfer. She recently picked up the sport, and shared posts from the course on her Instagram. She posted this set of videos of herself making shots, captioning it, “Swipe for #puttstuff (+ my best shot of the day).” Fuller also posted these photos of herself on the course. She captioned the post, “Talk birdie to me.”

3. She Works Out Her Lower Body

Fuller makes sure to workout her lower body. She shared some of her favorite leg exercises in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, “Wanted to share with y’all some of my favorite booty workouts. Goblet squats 4 x 15 (I put plates under the front of my feet to distribute more weight on the backs of my heels to allow for a deeper burn). Hip thrusts 3 x 15. Front squat 4 x 15. Battle ropes 4x 25sec rounds. Finisher: walking lunges (weighted or not weighted).”

4. She Swims

Fuller loves to spend time in the water. She shares a lot of beach and pool photos on Instagram. Fuller posted this black and white photo of herself swimming in Alys Beach. She captioned it, “I’m sorry I roasted you, I was trying to flirt.” In the first two photos of this photo series she posted of summer 2021, Fuller is seen wading in the ocean.

5. She Wants To Break Beauty Standards

At the beginning of last year, Fuller submitted herself as a rookie for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Fuller explained her reasons why in the caption of this Instagram post. “It’s been a dream of mine to enter into @si_swimsuit search, but had always made excuses as to why I wasn’t good enough,” she writes. “But I am enough, and thank you SI for helping me get to this place of acceptance within myself. So here goes nothing…Growing up, it was just me and mom until my step dad adopted me at a young age. I am a melting pot of Japanese white and black and everyone in my family is all blonde hair and blue eyed so I always felt different. My idea of beauty was not me. It was what was in my immediate vicinity. I never truly felt beautiful. I remember seeing women in Sports Illustrated as I got older and they were all so beautiful and unique in their own ways. Being beautiful and sexy can be any color and any size. And it’s not just an outward appearance these women represent strength, acceptance, and even more so changed the way I viewed beauty. I relate to the women in this magazine in a BIG way and they will never know the acceptance I felt by just knowing there’s others out there just like me!”

1. She Swims

The opportunity comes to you, you'll see if you ride it. Hold on tight, don't let go. Laugh... Weeps that each one has his time. Laugh... Cry, live your life, enjoy it all.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

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

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
