Model Elena Berri is on vacation on the beautiful island of Mauritius. Esteban Ocon's girlfriend shared pictures of herself posing in a red bathing suit, against a background of palm trees and blue skies. “You’re the reason for global warming,” a commenter said. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Berri 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. Yoga Sessions

Berri enjoys 30 minute yoga sessions. “Yoga lowers cortisol levels. If high, they compromise the immune system and may lead to permanent changes in the brain,” according to experts at the University of Washington. “Excessive cortisol has also been linked with major depression, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance.”

2. Ankle Weights

Berri uses ankle weights for her mat workouts. The model is so used to the extra resistance the weights provide, she can tell a difference when they aren’t being used. “A couple of days ago we tried this exercise with no ankle weights,” she says. “Can definitely feel the difference.”

3. Treadmill Workout

Berri warms up and cools down on the treadmill. "They also can be helpful for people recovering from an injury or surgery, since you can control the speed and intensity, and they are equipped with handrails for added support when needed," says Dr. Adam Tenforde, with the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. "You can easily vary the speed and incline to focus on specific goals."

4. Lunges With Weights

Berri uses weights to give her lunges an extra challenge. “Lunges are a great way to enhance strength and stability in your legs since you are forced to balance all of your body weight on one leg for a short period of time,” according to Duke University. “Be sure not to let your knee come over your toes while lunging and keep your torso erect while looking ahead.”

5. Fresh Fruit and Granola

Berri enjoys granola with fresh strawberries and blueberries. “Studies show [blueberries] help protect against aging, cancer and damage to your DNA,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “Organic frozen berries can be a little less expensive. You can put them in hot oatmeal and let them defrost allowing their juices to release natural sweetness and flavor. Throw them in a smoothie, or just snack on them frozen for a refreshing snack for great ways to enjoy them.”

Nicola Peltz, the actress and model best known for her terrific work in Bates Motel and Transformers: Age of Extinction, has a mega-fit figure and she works hard to maintain it. She just posted a series of photos on Instagram of a vacation she took with her husband, Brooklyn Beckham. In the first photo, Peltz lounged in a white bathing suit. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nicola Peltz 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 Swims

Peltz loves to spend time in the water. Her Instagram is full of photos of herself at the beach or at the pool. She posted this set of photos of herself under the water in a pool. She captioned the photo, “Swimming is not my strong suit.” ""Swimming is easy on the joints, and it's very good for both cardiac health and your core strength. And it also can give you really excellent strength around the shoulders, and hips and knees," says Dr. Matthew Crowe, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert, to the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Bikes

Another outdoor activity Peltz likes to do is bike ride. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself riding by the beach. She humorously captioned the photo, “I’m awful at bike riding.” She also posted this photo of herself and her husband riding.

3. She Stays Out Of The Sun

Peltz has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her secrets in this video with Vogue. In it, Peltz revealed that her mother gave her some important skin tips. “Her advice to me is, number one, stay out of the sun. Avoid the sun at all costs.” “Sunlight contains two types of ultraviolet (UV) light that can harm your skin -- UV-A and UV-B,” says dermatologist Melissa Piliang, MD to the Cleveland Clinic. “While UV-B causes sunburn, it’s the UV-A rays that cause aging of the skin -- but both types cause skin cancer.”

4. She Speaks Out

Italian star Elena Morali is sharing a cheeky post with her fans, asking them to guess what exotic, far-flung location she will visit next. The TV host posted a photo of herself wearing a red bathing suit as she walked away from the camera, with the caption “Ya'll aren't getting tired of my beach pics yet right??? Almost Christmas and I'm about to start again.... Destination ??? Guess what 🏝️.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Morali 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 Loves Pilates

Morali incorporates regular Pilates sessions into her workout routine. “Like yoga, one of the best benefits [of Pilates] is that well-being that can come from feeling better,” says yoga therapist Judi Bar. “It strengthens your core and, ultimately, it can help lower back pain because, besides tight muscles, lower back pain also comes from misalignment and lack of strength.”

2. She Snorkels

Morali is a fearless snorkeler, especially on vacation. "Blue spaces provide us with distractions that take our mind away from the day-to-day hassles of life," says Kate Campbell, a health psychology researcher at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. "The sound of the crashing waves, the smell of salty air, the crunching of sand beneath our toes…The sensations relax our bodies and tell our minds to switch off."

3. She Loves Animals

Morali is passionate about animals, from dogs to elephants. Interacting with animals such as horses releases oxytocin, experts say. "The beauty of the horse is that it can be therapeutic in so many different ways," says Breeanna Bornhorst, executive director of the Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program in Clifton, Va. "Some of our riders might benefit from the connection and the relationship-building with the horse and with their environment. Other riders maybe will benefit physically, from the movements, and build that core strength, and body awareness and muscle memory."

4. She Swims

Morali loves swimming, both in the pool and in the ocean. "We know there are four main ways that blue spaces benefit health – through physical activity, stress reduction, providing a space for socialization [and finally the] environmental factors that have a knock on impact on our health,” says Niamh Smith, a researcher from Glasgow Caledonian University. “For example, if a river is tree-lined, you have shade."

5. She Does Yoga

Regular yoga sessions are an important part of Morali’s workout routine. “There are many options when it comes to finding yoga poses to wake up both your body and your mind,” says Bar. “And for many of them, you can do them right where you are. Once you begin to develop a daily practice, you’ll begin to feel better all around!”

How does the beauty keep herself in great shape?

1. She Is Active Outdoors

Scan through Evelin’s Instagram feed and it is clear that she burns her fair share of calories by engaging in outdoor activities. Surfing, hiking, hanggliding, and walking on the beach are just a few of the ways she stays fit without formally exercising. But sure to wear sunscreen. "Exposing your skin to harmful UV rays from the sun can cause premature aging and increase risk for skin cancer. Follow directions on the bottle for proper application and reapplication anytime you’re outside. Don’t be fooled by a cloudy day! The sun can still burn your skin through the clouds," says the Cleveland Clinic. Also: "Loose fitting, wicking, light-colored materials are best for allowing your body to sweat and properly cool itself."

2. She Hydrates

Evelin regularly shares about the importance of hydration. In addition to water, she keeps her thirst quenched and electrolytes restored with help of coconut water. “The most important thing someone can do to prevent themselves from experiencing a heat-related illness is to stay hydrated. It’s really important, especially now that it’s getting extremely hot outside," says emergency medicine physician Baruch Fertel, MD to the Cleveland Clinic. "“When someone is dehydrated, they’ll experience intense thirst. They also might not urinate frequently. Those are signs that you’re not getting enough fluids and progressing to dehydration. As you’re out in the heat more, you may feel warm to the touch and stop sweating. What you’re experiencing can progress to heat stroke. And by this point, you might have an altered mental status or not act right.”

3. She Loves to Travel

Evelin is always traveling. "Visiting one of the most special places in the world with my special person ❤️ Felt like I was in El Dorado 😍," she wrote once from Tikal, Guatemala. "Tikal really is amazing , all the history and energy , a place you should definitely visit one day 💕 @coreyrathgeber_90 will be posting the videos of all the adventures we had , prices , places , how to book tours and more."

4. She Also Does Bodyweight Workouts

Evelin also does workouts from Flat Tummy. “Just finished my first workout with @flattummyapp and I’m already in love with this app. It gives me personalized guided workouts that I can do right from home. I’m loving the 30 day challenges, to keep me motivated and on track,” she captioned an Instagram post. “My goal was to get to 100 pounds and I did it now I want to control my weight and stay in shape , this app allows me to do workouts to reach my goals and includes amazing food recipes.” In another videos she shares her exercises: 15 jumping jacks, 16 step ups, 14 push ups, 20 second planks, and and repeat.

5. She Actively Practices Body Positivity

“A challenge worth doing. Go ahead and do it, tag me in your stories of you talking about what is your favorite part of your body. We all deserve to feel beautiful and sexy. Much love,” Evelin captioned a since-deleted video promoting her body positivity practice, per Showbiz CheatSheet. “I want you to go to a mirror, look at yourself, and find out what is the favorite part of your body. What makes you feel sexy and makes you feel pretty. Mine, for example, are these dots on my chest,” she says in it. “If we feel pretty outside we feel pretty inside, if we feel pretty inside, we feel pretty outside.”

1. She Does Yoga

Evaluna regularly does yoga with her husband, Camilo. She captioned a photo of them, “when your husband is more flexible than you.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains 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.”

2. She Swims

Evaluna loves swimming, which is a great aerobic workout, per the CDC. 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, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

3. She Reads

Evaluna reads books. 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 compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

4. She Goes for Hikes

Evaluna enjoys hiking with her husband. “God never ceases to amaze us with His Creation. Today has been WOW,” she captioned a post filled with photos from a spectacular hike. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. 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. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

5. She Hydrates

Evaluna usually has a glass of water or a water bottle beside her for hydration purposes. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Molinero isn’t afraid to stand up for herself. 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.

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.”
