1. She Avoids Dairy

Amfo opened up about her wellness routine to GQ. She says that being a broadcaster means she has to be careful about what she eats. Amfo avoids a certain type of food in particular. "I try and avoid dairy,” she says. “Right now I’m sipping a coconut latte. Because it makes me bloated and can make your vocal chords phlegmy. Can’t really introduce Lana Del Rey going bleggghhhhh."

2. She Works Out In The Morning

Amfo has a busy schedule, which means she doesn’t always have time to workout. However, she makes fitness a priority, and fits in a workout when she can. “I’ve got my radio show on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,” she tells GQ. “I need to be in the studio at nine in the morning and I try to get a workout in before.”

3. She Eats A Balanced Diet

Amfo tells GQ that she believes in eating a balanced diet. "I have a ridiculous sweet tooth and I’ll never not have a cake. Life’s too short. I tried being vegan for a bit and it made a difference in my energy levels and my skin, but I can’t say I don’t love the taste of a great steak. But I definitely don’t eat half as much meat as I used to. I try to eat ethically."

4. She Works Out With Friends

Amfo tells GQ that she likes to workout with her friends. She says that they help her stay motivated. "I’m very lucky to have two good friends who are down to train me. We’ve all got crazy schedules and have different disciplines, but they make me appreciate my body as a machine. They’re not about trying to be skinny. There are certain fitness collectives that have ‘skinny’ names and that’s not my vibe."

5. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Amfo revealed some of her favorite foods to The Guardian. She says that she makes sure to eat a healthy breakfast. “Every morning, at about 7.30, I start with a splash of apple cider vinegar and echinacea in hot water. And then I’ll have my porridge – if I eat too much wheat, the way my belly protrudes and I look as if I’m seven months pregnant. I have it with almond milk, loads of cinnamon and agave syrup.

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 Bowls

Gallagher likes to do different activities with her friends. One thing she likes to do is go bowling. She shared this photo of herself and her friends at the alley on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Ah bowling, the great American pastime.” "Some activities, such as bowling, are less intense than others, like bicycling," says Harvard Health. "Less-intense activities may not be enough to trigger weight loss, but they will definitely help you maintain good health," says Dawn Rogers, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital, to Harvard Health.

2. She Eats A Variety Of Different Food

Gallagher’s Instagram is full of food photos. She likes to enjoy a variety of different foods in her diet. She posted this set of photos of some of her favorite foods. They include asparagus, fish with potatoes, a charcuterie plate, and a steak. She captioned the post, “Some food lately. I do realize it’s mostly beige.”

3. She Goes Outside

Gallagher loves spending time outside. Her Instagram is full of outdoor photos. She shared this photo of herself hanging out outside. She captioned the post, “Sunset on the Heath.” Florida Health reports, “If you spend too much time inside, then it’s possible that you’re not moving around enough. If you make getting outside a goal, that should mean less time in front of the television and computer and more time walking and doing other things that put the body in motion.”

4. She Rides Horses

Gallagher does a lot of outdoor activities. One thing she likes to do is go horseback riding. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself and a friend going riding on a trail. Heart.org reports, “A study commissioned on behalf of the British Horse Society found that horseback riding is indeed a good cardiovascular workout. Even just a half hour of riding is considered ‘moderate exercise,’ said BHS PR executive Megan Hawkins, ‘while trotting exerts more energy than playing badminton.’”

5. She’s A Feminist

Gallagher is a proud feminist. She shared this photo on Instagram for International Women’s Day. She captioned the post, “So why do we celebrate International Women’s Day? Well, because quite frankly, the aim to achieve full gender equality for women around the world has still not been realised. Data released by UN women shows that the pandemic could put women’s equality back by 25 years. This year DOUBLE the amount of women have been made redundant than men. Not to mention school closures have created a childcare crisis. 1 in 3 women have lost their jobs to cope with unpaid duties at home. And there’s still a significant gender pay gap.”

Rayna Vallandingham is flashing her washboard abs – in a two-piece exercise set from Alo. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her impressive midsection during a workout at the gym. “dojang diaries,” she captioned the series of snaps. “Magnific! Very very beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “♥️More like diaries of a hottie♥️” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Be Consistent

Consistency – at the gym and the martial arts studio – is the key to success. "It is a way of life," Rayna says. "It's not only teaching your body movements and being in synchronicity with your body, but also just like the mental aspect of it."

Fight Your Way to a Hot Body

Rayna is a big fan of martial arts. She has been doing taekwondo since she was 2, earning her first black belt at 6. "In the very beginning, my parents put me in the sport because I was just really shy, and I think they could tell that I needed something," says Vallandingham, who lives and trains in Los Angeles. "Immediately, I just loved it. I felt at home, and every single day, instead of watching Dora, I wanted to go to the dojo,” she told Well + Good. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function, psychological health, weight loss, and physical fitness.

Work on Strength and Flexibility

Rayna recommends prioritizing strength, flexibility, and power. "Of the three, I think strength and flexibility are the top two," Vallandingham says. "We used to have people stand on my legs and force my knees to come down in butterfly stretch," she says. "I have permanent damage to my body—I have tendonitis [because of this]."

Lift Weights

If you want a strong, lean body like Vallandingham, you must lift for it. The star strength trains, focusing on supersets, doing two moves back-to-back that target the same muscle groups to double down on their gains. One of her favorite exercises is a goblet squat. She stands with her feet shoulder-width apart, folded forward until she can slide her palms underneath her soles (you could also hold your ankles or calves), then bends her knees, lowering her butt toward the floor while lifting her chest, coming into a deep squat. She'll bend and extend her legs several times in this position. Then, it's on to the main event, holding a weight in her hands while bending down into a deep squat. "I love utilizing a Bosu ball—they're pretty much in every single gym," she adds.

Stretch

Rayna never skips stretching. She starts by by lying on the floor with her legs up the wall and then allowing them to open out into a side split. "I let gravity do its work because that's my body telling me, okay, this is where we're at," she says. "My hips are opening on their own, and I'm not having to force anything." “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Charli Hawkins is training in the snow – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Olympian shows off her fantastic figure – including her flat abs – in an exercise set while enjoying the winter weather. “TRAINING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! ❄️🥶❤️✨Gearing up in this altitude for the LONDON MARATHON this April! I’m so excited to see what my mind and body can make happen! To my marathon runners: it’s your time to shine, PLEASE tell me ALL of your tips, all of your advice, and for all of you who understand what I’m about to attempt, please send your words of encouragement 😂 Also feel free to try to talk me out of this as well thanks👍 We are on the training countdown. Turning a sprinter, jumper, and thrower into a long distance runner 🫣🙌 What do you think my time will be?” 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.

Minfulness and Meditation

Charli practices mindfulness. Before going for a run, she says words of intention. “I am willing. I am grateful. I surrender,” she revealed during an interview with San Diego Magazine. Meditation:

“When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Stretching

She also makes sure to stretch. “If you ever can think of some dynamic stretches: F.A.S.T. ✨🙌 My left hip and right QLs have been SO tight lately so I’m on a journey of getting them right! What’s bugging you at the moment???” she captioned a post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here Is The Right Way To Run

During her interview with San Diego, Charli explained how you should be running. “Remember, the sole of the foot is showing right in front of us,” she said, doing a type of high-knee movement. “To do this, you’re over exaggerating your running form while standing still. Raise your knee up, point your toes to the clouds (forming an A), and then pedal the sole of your foot forward before striking your knee down. It’s more complicated than it sounds after 30-plus years of moving a certain way,” the writer explained.

Positive Attitude

In a recent post Charli revealed things she learned about positivity. “Patience is easier when it isn’t required,” she said. “The people around you are BLESSINGS (which I feel like I already understood but sometimes it’s nice to have it emphasized).” Also, “We are up, we are down, but trusting the process sometimes means knowing that it’s all good even when it’s not the best” and “Making a plan is the best option for everything. It’s ok if the plan doesn’t go perfect, but just willy-nilly-ing it is not the best option when you want to get things done.”

Never Giving Up

Charli refuses to give up. “Understand what you want first, and then go for it. Then keep going for it all the time, and, eventually, you’ll get it,” she said during her interview.

Giulia Arena Swears By These 5 Habits For Her Beach Body

Giulia Arena first made waves when she won the 2013 Miss Italia pageant. Since then, she’s become a successful actress, TV host, and model. Arena recently took a trip to the Maldives. She shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. In them, Arena is seen in a white swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Native habitat.”

Biking

Giulia enjoys cycling. During her trip to the Maldives Giulia went bike riding. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Reading

Giulia is also a fan of books. In the Maldives, she took some time to relax and read. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

Snorkeling

Giulia snorkels, recently discovering the “Sea Lung,” she revealed in a post. “It reaches 60cm long with a weight of almost 10kg, and represents the largest medusa of the Mediterranean. I don’t know why, but I have always experienced the charm of Jellyfish: creatures that are essentially simple and yet capable of surviving entire geological epochs floating, light and slow, between the currents. She, remains one of the most beautiful sights of this summer.” 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.

Coffee

Giulia is a coffee drinker. She especially likes shots of espresso. 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.

Yoga

Giulia is a yogi. Here she is doing yoga. There are many reasons to do yoga, according to Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
