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 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.

Anna Kendrick is feeling grateful, despite the state of the world right now. She shared a photo of herself in a bathing suit with other pals, someplace tropical. “Well. 2021. You were a little” jerk “in many ways,” she captioned it. “But pre-omicron you managed to bring a lot of cool” stuff. “So, thanks for giving me a taste of excitement and adventure before ripping it away again??? I’LL TAKE IT!” How does the superstar stay so fit while keeping so busy?

1. She Stays Present in Her Body

“The times in my life when I tried to restrict the foods I love always backfired, and I ended up feeling miserable. For me, it’s all about really being present in my body, not depriving it,” she told Shape.

2. She’s Tried to Add More Silliness in Her Life

"I'm trying to have a sense of play. A lot of my life over the last decade has been work, recover, work, recover. That doesn't leave much room for anything else. That's the mindset and the reality for a lot of people. You work and then recover so you can work some more. Putting some fun and silliness into my life is one of my goals,” she told Shape.

3. She Hikes

“The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories,” says the Mayo Clinic. “You can also alternate periods of brisk walking with leisurely walking. This type of interval training has many benefits, such as improving cardiovascular fitness and burning more calories than regular walking. And interval training can be done in less time than regular walking.”

4. She’s Tried Certain Wellness Techniques

"I've tried a couple of meditation classes, and so far I feel like I'm doing it wrong," she says. "My mind races more when I meditate. And I was vegan for a year, or maybe even two, and it was the best I've ever felt. Then I just fell off the wagon super hard. I was like, Well, maybe I can just do vegan most days. But no. It was the classic slippery-slope situation for Anna,” she told Shape.

5. She’s Part of a Changing Industry, and Worked Hard to Get Her Seat at the Table

Kendrick has worked hard to get a seat at the table. “There was a film I did many years ago and it was a mostly male cast... which doesn’t narrow it down very much at all,” she adds, with a wry laugh. “There were times when I was like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a joke to you.’ I think if those guys could see videos of themselves now, they would be totally horrified. They wouldn’t even recognise themselves, because the world is changing and people are becoming more self-aware,” she told the Independent.

Amy Hart, an islander from season 5 of Love Island, is on vacation in gorgeous Cancun. Unfortunately, she revealed on Instagram that she’s about to leave, even though she’s not quite ready to go yet. Hart posted a stunning new video of herself walking on the beach in a light blue patterned bathing suit. She captioned the video, “Few days left! Going to be so sad to leave!!” adding the hashtag "travel the world." In another photo she posted, she looks great on a balcony overlooking a pool and the beach. "I mean, I don’t love it, but we took about 300 pictures on this balcony with people walking past and staring so the one image that was passable had to see the light of day 🤣🤣🤣."

1. She Went To A Wellness Retreat

Hart revealed on her Instagram stories that she went to a wellness retreat in Portugal, and she managed to get some serious results. She wrote, “I went on holiday to a health retreat and have had thousands of messages with questions and encouragement, asking to follow my journey. It’s a one week reset. As you’ll see in the caption the actual juicing aspect was very far down the list for me and the weight loss even further down. My skin is glowing, I’m less bloated, I toned up through lots of fun exercise classes with friends. I had the best time on what is a slightly out there holiday so wanted to share!”

2. She’s In Therapy

Hart was a contestant on the 2019 series of the popular British reality show, Love Island. Unfortunately, being on the show was very difficult for her to deal with. Hart tells The Sun that she decided to go to therapy after the show, and that it has helped her deal with her struggles. "I'm still in therapy and it's made me totally different - I’m a lot more chilled. My brain was always in overdrive. I always used to have music on all the time, everywhere I walked. If I went to get a glass of water in the kitchen I would put my headphones in. I walked 45 minutes the other day and I walked back with no music and my head was so clear. I'm a lot more chilled and enjoy life a lot more, with a lot less anxiety."

3. She Isn’t Affected By Trolls

Hart unfortunately has had to deal with a lot of trolling on social media after appearing on Love Island. However, she says that she doesn’t let them bother her, and mostly ignores them. “The old me would have clicked on it, read them all and cried but I didn’t look at it,” Hart told Glamour. “I’m not interested in knowing what was said about me. I’ve now got so much positivity. I read it, I laugh, I block it.”

4. She’s Happy With Herself

Hart has been open about her struggles with her body image. However, she says that while she does have insecurities, she tries to find happiness with her body. Hart tells Glamour that she looks at the positives with her body. “Personally, I’m happy that I’ve got a bum, boobs and that I’m a bit curvy. I wouldn’t swap it for anyone else.”

5. She Got Healthy To Freeze Her Eggs

Last March, Hart revealed on Instagram that she decided to freeze her eggs to increase her potential of having children in the future. In order to do so, she had to live a healthy lifestyle for a brief time period. She wrote, “No alcohol, no fizzy, melatonin every night and 3litres of water a day must have helped (along with the massive increase in medication.) and I’ve managed to freeze five eggs....not as many as I had hoped and it certainly wasn’t the easy road I was expecting but it’s done and my little safety net is in place.”

Love Island star Francesca Allen spent a day at the beach, and she made sure to have some stunning photos to show for it. Allen posted a photo of herself posing on the shore in a bright blue bathing suit and a white cover-up. She captioned the post, “So you say you want to get away.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Francesca Allen 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’s Comfortable With Her Skin

Allen has struggled with her skin, specifically her acne, all her life. However, when she appeared on Love Island, she learned to accept her skin and wasn’t insecure about it. "I remember being in the villa and thinking 'all these girls are so beautiful and flawless' and there were guys I was trying to impress,” she said to Hello! Magazine. "I wasn't gonna start sleeping in makeup - I haven't slept in makeup my whole life - I would have made it worse in the long run and I would have felt even more conscious of my face… so I owned it.”

2. She Went Back To Training

Allen revealed on Instagram that she had lost a lot of weight recently, and that it was the result of finding love for herself again that inspired her to go back to training. "I'm strong in myself and I have that strength in my body that I used to have like over two years ago. I just had lost love for training, I'd lost love myself."

3. She Spends Time By The Water

Allen loves to spend time at the beach and by the water, and she makes sure to take a lot of stunning photos for Instagram. She has posted several beach shots of herself on social media. “Being outside offers other benefits, too. It offers an emotional boost and can help you feel less tense, stressed, angry or depressed. And sunlight can give your body vitamin D, too,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Goes Hiking

Another of Allen’s favorite outdoor activities is hiking. She posted this series of photos on Instagram of a trip she took. A couple of these shots were of her hiking on the road, and of the stunning scenery she saw. She captioned the photo, “So much Happiness in the simplest of things.” “Get moving with these low-risk outdoor activities during the COVID-19 pandemic,” suggests the Mayo Clinic:

• “Walking, running and hiking
• Rollerblading and biking
• Fishing and hunting
• Golfing
• Rock or ice climbing
• Kayaking, canoeing, diving, boating or sailing
• Skiing, including cross-country and downhill skiing
• Ice skating
• Snowboarding
• Sledding
• Snowshoeing
• Fitness classes, held outside or virtually, that allow distance”

5. She Keeps a Positive Attitude

“I just like to smile… smiling is my favourite!” Francesca once captioned a post, asking if you could name that film. (The answer? Pretty sure it’s Elf.) Her good mood helps her health. “Indeed, some studies show that personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills,” says the Mayo Clinic.
