1. Resistance Bands

Gregoraci loves using resistance bands as part of her training routine. "Studies show that there are no benefit changes between machines, free weights, and resistance bands," says Hayden Steele, NSCA-C.P.T., C.S.C.S. "Optimally, they would all be used together [in a training regimen], but when you look at strength benefits, you can't say that dumbbells are more effective than resistance bands. They just offer the same benefits for less money."

2. She Loves To Box

Gregoraci enjoys boxing-based workouts. “Boxing requires the full body to move. From staying on your toes to engaging the core muscles or throwing a jab or a cross, there’s a lot to think about, which makes it great for training both the mind and body,” says trainer Anthony Char. “It’s also a great calorie burner and can often burn more calories than cardio workouts such as running. It’s a fun alternative to traditional cardio workouts like HIIT or swimming.”

3. Tennis

Gregoraci enjoys playing tennis, which is a fun way to get some cardio. “In addition to its physical benefits, tennis has many other advantages," says Daniel Amen, MD. "Though tennis can be a physically demanding sport, it’s considered a non-impact sport. Tennis can be a great way to meet new people or spend more time with friends or family. It can be an enjoyable hobby that helps relieve stress. It’s also a versatile sport suitable for all ages and skill levels."

4. Swimming

Gregoraci enjoys swimming, which is a great low-impact exercise. “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,” says the CDC. “This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease.”

5. Cycling

Gregoraci loves outdoor cycling in the fresh air and sunshine. “It’s been shown that cycling reduces anxiety and depression,” says Jaclyn Kubiak, PT, DPT. “Mainly, because you can make it fun. You get the added benefit of being outdoors or you can go do it with friends.” Bicycling is a popular form of exercise that provides a number of health benefits. Some of the potential benefits of cycling include:

  1. Cardiovascular fitness: Bicycling is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular fitness because it raises the heart rate and improves blood circulation.
  2. Strength and flexibility: Bicycling involves using all of the major muscle groups, which can help to build strength and increase flexibility.
  3. Weight loss: Bicycling is a high-intensity workout that can help to burn calories and promote weight loss.

1. She Went On A Yoga Retreat

Larocca revealed on this Instagram post that she decided to go on a yoga and meditation retreat. She captioned the post, “When was the last time you did something for the first time? 🤔 Haven't done this for a few years.. And I cheered myself up.. I went on a Yoga retreat // an invitation to the heart of @agustinaechegoyen 🧘🏽 ♀️❤️// We slept two nights in a treehouse with 12 girls who also joined @mujeres.conscientes. We meditated, we chatted, we had time to get in touch with nature, with each other and with ourselves. We ate well, laughed, rested and obviously, we did a lot of yoga. It was a very special weekend, with very special people 💫 anim️ ️ 🌳 How nice it is to be encouraged to do new things!!”

2. She Plays Tennis

Larocca loves to play tennis to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and some friends on the court.

3. She Hikes

Larocca loves to go hiking to stay in shape. In this video of herself taking a vacation in Tandil, she is seen going on hikes. Larocca captioned it, “A tour of Tandil 🌄🌳🏕 With walks through the mountains, delicious cheeses and salamines and a great rest at @gingerandcocohotel 🥰 If you are looking for a getaway from the city and connect with nature, it is the ideal place! Some facts: We did the walks through 'La Cascada' and 'Las Animas' (we brought a picnic because we didn't know if we were going to find places to eat). At night we stay at the hotel, which is a bomb and has so much peace that we ask for food and have lunch there. Have a nice weekend!! And thanks to everyone who gave me information about Tandil. I already have a to-do list for when I get back.”

4. She Swims

Larocca loves to spend time at the beach. She often swims as a way to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself swimming. She captioned the post, “'You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and… See what happens' ~ Sunday Mood.”

5. She Loves the Sun

Sunshine, the life-giving essence of our world, offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond its warm embrace. As the golden rays bathe our skin, they bring forth a cascade of advantages for our physical and mental well-being. First and foremost, sunlight is our primary source of vitamin D, a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones and boosting our immune system. Just a short exposure to sunlight can trigger the production of this essential vitamin, warding off deficiencies and reducing the risk of diseases like osteoporosis.

1. She’s an “Elastic Girl”

“Ready for my yoga👍🙏,” Alessia has posted in the past, using the hashtags: #elasticgirl #breathe #yoga #yogaeverywhere #yogagirl #fitness #health. Try a mountain pose. Says the Cleveland Clinic: “Alignment Points: Stand tall with feet parallel and relax your tailbone down for a neutral pelvis. Lift up through the spine. Tuck your chin in slightly, and keep your head balanced over your shoulders. Benefits of Pose: Increases awareness of posture overall. Lengthens the entire spine. Can help improve balance when practiced with eyes closed.

2. She Eats Spirulina Pasta

"Spirulina is known primarily for its high protein content," Sydney Greene, MS, RD, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!, which adds: “However, in order to consume 15-20 grams of protein per meal, you would have to supplement it with other high protein foods. For example, one tablespoon of powdered spirulina yields 6 grams of protein, which is a lot, considering it's only 45 calories. Add spirulina to smoothies with a serving of plain Greek yogurt in it to increase that protein intake.”

3. She Uses Advanced Peptides for Her Skin

Collagen peptides may or may not help your skin. Adding protein to your diet is essential. “From a general health perspective, it is important to ensure adequate protein within your diet. As you age, your protein needs increase slightly to maintain lean body mass. Consuming foods that contain the primary amino acids that make up collagen may help support skin, hair, nail and joint health as you age,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Takes Walks

The Cleveland Clinic spoke with Michael Roizen, MD about walking and he says: “Tracking your steps with an app that features a pedometer is key to walking success, Dr. Roizen says. People who love their apps or pedometers log a reported 2,000 more steps per day. Why? The reward comes from witnessing your success in real time, and enjoying the mental reward of celebrating your step-based accomplishments.

5. She Loves to Swim

“Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections,” says the CDC.

1. She Likes Bootcamp

Eleonora likes the military approach to fitness. “I like activities that challenge you,” she told Starbene. “My passion is bootcamp, a circuit of exercises to be done consecutively and without breaks for an hour. A massacre, but it’s in my heart.”

2. She Boxes

Elisabetta Franchi - Front Row - Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2020Daniele Venturelli/WireImage

Another way Eleonora stays in fighting form? She packs a mean punch. “I also practice boxing,” she told the publication. “Unlike traditional boxing that requires you to spar with a partner, fitness boxing for older adults involves throwing punches at the air or at a punching bag, usually in a class. There are two main types of these exercise classes. In one, you follow a leader and do a series of boxing moves all choreographed to bouncy music, similar to an aerobics class. The moves include a combination of large, sweeping punches (crosses, hooks, uppercuts); smaller punches (jabs); squats (ducks); and short, quick steps forward and back. The other type of exercise class involves strength training, stretching, and hitting a punching bag,” says Harvard Health.

3. She Free Climbs

Eleonora also likes breaking a sweat out in nature. Not only does she hike, but she free climbs. “When I’m in Ortisei, my mountain, I climb. Free climbing is fantastic. I don’t look back. I just think about how to to the holds,” she told Starbene.

4. She Reads to Relax

How does Eleonora relax? “I read psychology essays and textbooks. The human mind is a fascinating puzzle that I try to understand better. And then it also helps me in relationships with others.”

5. She Embraces Her “Flaws”

Eleonora is all about self love. “I like myself how many women like each other: Seeing their flaws, but loving them all,” she told Starbene. “Take my left thumb; it’s all wrong, but it’s exactly the same as my dad had. I would not change it for the world. For me it is not a strange finger but a beautiful memory.”

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. 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.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. 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.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Tammy Hebrew is seen using dumbbells.

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
