Dina Ashler-Smith is taking a much-needed vacation. The fastest British sprinter of all times is slowing things down and relaxing in her swimsuit during a getaway. “Soft life,” she captioned one of her latest Instagram posts, showing off her incredibly fit physique. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 56ways Dina Asher-Smith 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 Stays Away From Weights

Dina avoids weightlifting. “I don’t lift weights,” she told Runner’s World. “There are lots of other ways to get power. It’s not about how much weight you can throw around, but how well you use the power that you have.”

2. She Planks

Dina has her own special plank. She explained to Runner’s World that she starts in plank position, then, one arm at a time, moves into a press-up position. Then, she returns, one arm at a time, to the starting position. She tries to do five rotations in 60 seconds, keeping her hips level.

3. She Sprints

Dina is a sprinter so it’s no surprise that running is part of her workout. She does three sets of 5x160m at race pace, with a 45 second break between reps. “When it feels OK rather than deadly, you know you’re in good shape,” she told Runner’s World.

4. Her Diet Is Healthy

Dina starts the day with scrambled eggs with spinach and black coffee. “I need help in the morning,” she told Runner’s World. For lunch she eats salmon rice and vegetables. “I really love carrots and sweetcorn.” And for dinner? Chicken, salad and rice. “It’s fairly repetitive, which is hard for a foodie like me.”

5. She Cheats

Dina dished to Cosmopolitan that she is all about the occasional cheat meal. "Definitely! If I were constantly 'on' all the time I would eventually crash,” she said. “I really like cupcakes, so once or twice a fortnight (sad how infrequent it is) I'll stop and get my favorite Cookies and Cream one from Lola's. They make me unbelievably happy."

6. She Takes Breaks When She Needs Them

How does Dina deal with stress? "As odd as it sounds I take a break – which might not seem productive with a deadline approaching. However, when I get stressed it feels like my brain shuts down and can't do anything efficiently, so I will listen to some music or make myself something to eat and then come back when I'm more relaxed," she told Cosmopolitan.

1. She Lifts Weights

Danielle is living, breathing proof that weightlifting doesn’t result in a bulky body. “I lift heavy weights, so I look more toned,” she told Closer. However, you won’t find her at the gym alone. She works out with her trainer regularly.

2. She Follows a Diet

Clare has herself on a healthy eating plan. “I also saw a nutritionist and now eat a certain amount of carbs, protein and veg. I even weigh the amount of oil I use – it really does work,” she told Closer. For breakfast, “before the gym I'll have a protein shake and afterwards a couple of Warbutons thins with a scraping of butter,” she says, Then for a mid-morning snack she will have Proper Popcorn and a Fibre One bar. For lunch, you will find grilled chicken with broccoli on her plate, and dinner, a piece of salmon with jacket potato and green veg. “Before bed I'll have an apple and six squares of dark chocolate,” she adds.

3. She Gets Non-Invasive Treatments

While Danielle has never gone under the knife, she does get aesthetic treatments. “Recently, I had a non-invasive bum lift and laser tightening on my tummy. There’s loads you can do without putting yourself in danger. I had surgery before because I felt rubbish about myself, I’d been in abusive relationships and felt sh*t. I didn’t need a boob job – I needed a therapist! Exercise can do a lot to change your shape,” she told Closer.

4. She Jet Skis

Danielle went jet skiing with her family on a trip to Dubai last summer. According to Health Fitness Revolution, the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride. The sport is also great for cardiovascular endurance.

5. She Battles Anxiety

Danielle is open about her mental health. “People say, ‘You’re on the telly, how can you have anxiety?’ – they haven’t got a clue. We all have the same worries. It’s hard to know what the trigger is, but I’m a shy person and life can be hectic. Earlier, I had so much anxiety, my heart was beating out of my chest at what felt like a million times an hour. I was breathing heavily and felt sick. I’ve learned it’s better to leave the house, see people and talk about it, as that’s therapy in itself. I’ve also started doing breathing exercises at home, too,” she told Closer.

1. She Had Body Issues

Bianca has struggled with body image issues her whole life. "I have body dysmorphia so I am never going to be entirely happy with the way that I look. It is in my nature to find fault with some aspect of my appearance,” she confessed to Closer.

2. She Practices Self-Care

Bianca makes sure to exercise and follow some other healthy habits. “Drink your water. Exercise. Go make some money. Do your affirmations. Always be more kinder than necessary. Start a business. Mind your own business. Radiate love. Learn new languages. Speak your feelings. Forgive. Heal. Surround your self with people that love you for you,” she captioned a recent post advocating self-care and love.

3. She Runs

One way Bianca stays in shape is by going for regular runs. 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.

4. She Snorkels

Bianca loves snorkling. “A Magical Whale Shark Moment 🦈🤍 This is a massive bucket list tick for me I cried with joy swimming with these amazing creatures it I didn’t seem real,” she captioned a post of herself snorkeling. 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.

5. She Takes Supplements

My weight has always yo-yoed and it is a lot harder to stay in shape when you are working all night. My diet can be rubbish and it is difficult to summon up the energy to go to the gym when you have been working all night,” Bianca told Closer. She dropped three dress sizes and lost a ton of weight by working out three or four times a week and swapping two meals a day with Forza supplements. "But I am in the best shape of my life and I am as happy as I am ever going to be with my weight and body shape,” she said.

1. She Focuses On Herself

After Steel ended her romance with her Love Island co-star, Callum Izzard, she decided to focus on herself. She said on FUBAR Radio, “I just want some time now to just focus on myself and I’m not really wanting to rush into anything. I’m just wanting to take every day as it comes!” “Expectations help you plan for what's coming up and can make you feel excited about the future,” says the Mayo Clinic. “But they can also lead to disappointment and frustration when your expectations aren't met and your hopes are dashed. And when they involve another person, misaligned expectations can diminish the quality of relationships.”

2. She Rolls With The Punches

Steel tells FUBAR Radio that she doesn’t let things bring her down. Instead, she just embraces whatever life throws at her. “I’m a good believer in everything happens for a reason,” she says. “I’m just rolling with it.” “Letting go of certain expectations can be hard. But it doesn't mean lowering them. There's a difference. You're not saying it will never be; you're saying this is where things are at right now,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Goes Swimming

Steel loves to go swimming as a way to stay in shape. Her Instagram is full of photos of herself by the pool and in the water. She posted this set of photos of herself at a beach in Dubai. She also posted this photo of herself by the pool, captioning it, “You wanna be part of this vibe.”

4. She Has Experienced Loneliness

“Before Love Island I was a student making dinner off £2 but now I have a lovely TV, glass lights and a big mirror in a beautiful flat, my life has completely changed. But one thing I must say is that money does not buy happiness. The last few weeks I have been the lowest I have ever been since leaving the villa. Your highs are high but your lows are very low. It is a different lifestyle. I could be filming for the day and surrounded by people saying my name but then I go back to my empty flat on my own and it hits me,” she said after leaving Love Island, according to the Sun.

5. She Works Hard and Rests Hard

“I get up at 11 if I can, honestly, I am not a morning person at all, but I'm funny. Like I'll have days where I just wanna chill, which I've literally just got back into now because I never used to be able to have chill days. And at the moment now, I think it's really important to schedule them chill days in, just for yourself mentally, physically, everything. I just think you need some time to just focus on yourself. Otherwise it can get a bit too much, but I do love working when I get into it. Boom, boom, boom, boom,” she told On Demand Entertainment.

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 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.”
