Coleen Garcia is heating up the Philippines in her swimsuit! The 30-year-old actress shows off her incredible body in a black bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, posing by a swimming pool.“Oh my!” commented one of her Instagram followers. “Wowwwww” and “Super!” added others. How does the actress maintain her fabulous physique? Read on to see 6 ways Coleen Garcia stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Exercises

“I try to work out every day whenever I can. Each day is a different workout. There are days when I do purely legs, there are days when I do purely abs, purely arms. But on the days that I don’t get to work out much, I try to squeeze everything in one day,” Coleen told Cosmopolitan, per ABS CBN News. “It’s mostly weight training, heavy weights because I enjoy it. I try not to work out on my arms so much because they get big,” she added. “I don’t want big arms so it’s really mostly toning. Lighter weights for my arms and heavier weights for my legs because that’s what I’m trying to build.”

2. She Practices Portion Control

Coleen doesn’t diet but she does limit portion sizes. “I pretty much eat what I want as long as it’s the right amount. No excessive eating, I just try to hold back a little bit,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I believe in kind of granting yourself whatever you want as long as you do it with discipline like you don’t eat too much of it.”

3. She Eats Small, Frequent Meals

Coleen is one of the many stars who eat small, frequent meals. “It’s just better to limit yourself,” she said. “It really helps to know the times when you’re supposed to eat. It’s good to have small, frequent meals every three hours, that’s what my trainer told me. You have to be eating something light every three hours just so your tummy doesn’t get too hungry.”

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Coleen revealed during a YouTube interview that she maintains variety with exercise. “I try to mix it up because every workout targets different muscles and different parts of your body,” she said, “so it’s really good to keep trying different things.”

5. She Drinks Her Nutrients

Coleen drinks her nutrients in the form of green juice and smoothies. “I like to put spinach in my smoothies,” she said during the YouTube interview, adding that it is rich in iron. She also adds flax. “It doesn’t taste bad at all. Spinach tastes good in juice.” Pineapple and pipino (cucumber) are also regular ingredients. “It’s really really good for you. Especially your skin,” she adds.

6. She Eats Post-Workout

“The best time to eat is right after you workout because your body is still burning,” Coleen revealed during the interview. “So maybe during dinner time I don't eat as much.” Incorporating a well-balanced meal after exercise, rich in protein, carbohydrates, and other essential nutrients, can enhance muscle repair and glycogen replenishment, leading to improved performance and overall well-being. It's important to note that individual dietary preferences and goals may vary, but Coleen's advice offers a valuable perspective on making the most of the body's metabolic state after a workout to support health and fitness endeavors. As always, consulting with a qualified nutritionist or healthcare professional can help tailor dietary choices to individual needs and requirements.

After one of her photos was criticized, she hit back with this Instagram post. “Powerfully caught my attention as recently in one of my photos I was criticized for posing with my legs open. Women can sit with our legs open. WE CAN SPREAD OUR LEGS. The phrase ‘you're a young lady, close your legs’ and similar are MASCHIST. It's something we've been taught wrong”

2. She Hikes

Molinero spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go hiking. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking with her boyfriend in Ibiza. Molinero captioned the post, “Cloudy days in Ibiza, but we made the most of it to enjoy each other. ♥️ Check the last photo.”

I also eat fruit and I am taking some natural supplements that are helping me a lot with the whole issue of the mucosa, digestion, protecting the stomach.”

5. She Gets Her Vitamin D

“Vitamin D is best known for its vital role in bone health. Without this ‘sunshine vitamin,’ the body can't absorb the calcium it ingests, so it steals calcium from bones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Vitamin D also helps maintain normal blood levels of phosphorus, another bone-building mineral,” says Harvard Health.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
