1. Exercise

To prep for the movie Army of the Dead, Ella hit the gym. "I went to the gym and did boxing lessons with my stepdad, but I'm just not that way inclined. I've got the upper-body strength of a spoon and I'm not very coordinated. I'd get told off because if I try to look cool, I'm doing something else weird with my limbs. When I was running, if I'm holding my gun with one hand, I'm doing gun hands with the other [laughs]. We spent time with these two nice ex-army dudes. They taught us how to shoot, move as a team and have each other's backs," she told Vogue. She also works out with her mom.

2. Take a Hike

Ella might not be inclined to work out in the gym, but she maintains a seriously active lifestyle. Hiking in the mountains, biking, and walking on the beach are a few of her favorite activities. In April, she even camped and hiked the Grand Canyon with her boyfriend.

3. Go for a Skate

Ella likes to roll her way to a fit figure with the help of roller skating. “A chilled morning skate with the eagles in the mountains of Vancouver Island // lately I’ve been focusing on flow; just getting smoother with those transitions and filler moves like disco spins and dips. Still struggling to balance with that heal toe spin at the end but getting better at coming out of them without landing on my ass!” she captioned a recent video of herself skating around.

4. Prioritize Your Mental Health

Ella prioritizes her mental health. She recently opened up about her anxiety and depression, revealing how she treats it. “I have anxiety and have had depression in the past,” she told the Evening Standard. “When I was 15 or 16 I had a bad experience at school — some issues with other classmates and somebody I was seeing, we don’t need to go into it. I started self-harming and did that for a long time until my mum caught me and I started to learn about it [mental health].” She hopes that by discussing her experiences, it will help people understand issues surrounding self-harm. “Self-harm is not about attention — I hid [my scars] for six months, wore long T-shirts, covered them up with make-up. It’s about punishing yourself, for people who dislike themselves or suffer from insecurity or self-doubt,” she continued. "I still have the scars and it’s something that I did that I will always regret: it hurt a lot of people around me and it’s on my body forever.”

5. Indulge in Food You Love

Ella might be healthy most of the time, but she has a few go-to indulgences. She captioned one of her photos, “chips or fries you decide.” Another one of her favorite treats? Ice cream.

1. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

1. She Loves Riding Bikes

Purnell enjoys riding bikes, especially when she’s at the beach. “You’re using your big leg muscles to cycle, which is already a huge benefit,” says Jaclyn Kubiak, PT, DPT. “But you can also do it in combination with strength training, or you can do it without. It’s been shown that cycling reduces anxiety and depression. Mainly, because you can make it fun. You get the added benefit of being outdoors or you can go do it with friends.”

2. She Roller Skates

Purnell loves to roller skate out in the fresh air and sunshine. “I take many of my individual clients and classes outdoors,” says certified fitness instructor ShaNay Norvell. “They often tell me it doesn’t feel like as much of a workout as running on the treadmill, even though they are still getting a great calorie burn.”

3. She Enjoys Noodles

Purnell is a big fan of delicious noodles and pasta. Certain noodles (such as soba, which is made with buckwheat) offer better health benefits thanks to their high fiber content. “Buckwheat supplies fiber, and benefits from a low-to-medium glycaemic index,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “This means it has a moderate effect on blood sugar levels and may even lower blood sugar levels. Studies suggest this effect may be thanks to soluble carbohydrate in buckwheat that makes cells more responsive to the hormone insulin and may delay the digestion of sugar.”

4. She Loves to Ski

Purnell enjoys skiing with her friends. “Skiing gets you outdoors in the winter when we often end up on the couch and are passive,” says physical therapist Scott Tremmel. “We’re just not as active when the cold weather sets in, but skiing keeps you moving to continue to build up your endurance. When you’re skiing, you’re often out with a group of friends and you’re socializing. You’re getting fresh air and taking in the beautiful scenery around you. It’s good for your emotional health.”

5. She’s All About Self-Care

Purnell is passionate about taking time to just be alone and focus on herself. “Self care y’all!!!!!! Take some time out of your day today for yourself💞💞💞,” she captioned an Instagram post. “Read a chapter of your favorite book, do some journaling, try and meditate for a minute, write down 3 things you are grateful for, do a facemask, call a loved one, relax in a hot bath, buy yourself a treat, go for a run, clean your apartment, think of 5 things that you love about yourself, give yourself a freakin’ hug - whatever makes you feel good, you deserve it ✨ life is tricky sometimes, but it’s always worth it ✨ peace & love my friends, love love looveeee.”

Deonna Purrazzo, the wrestler, stays fit for work and the photos she posts are proof of it. Her Instagram is full of "wow" photos. In her most recent post, Purrazzo posed on the beach in a white bathing suit. In the caption, she talked about body shamers and self-confidence. She captioned it: "Twitter saw this CLAP-BACK first 👏👏👏 I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don’t deserve the attention. But, I’ll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Deonna Purrazzo 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 Has No Time For Body Shamers

Throughout her career, Purrazzo has never been afraid to call out body shamers. In her most recent Instagram post’s caption, Purrazzo once again took time to call out the haters. “I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don’t deserve the attention.” "Teach your children to not respond to cyberbullying messages. Encourage them to block anyone who cyberbullies, to keep evidence of it and to share it with you," says the Mayo Clinic. "Warning signs of cyberbullying include seeming depressed or upset after spending time online and trying to avoid school or social situations."

2. She’s All About Self-Love

Purrazzo is all about self-love and accepting herself. In the same Instagram post, she talked about the importance of self-love. “I’ll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say,” she wrote. "Once you've identified troubling situations, pay attention to your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and your interpretation of what the situation means. Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts, or irrational, based on false ideas," says the Mayo Clinic. "Ask yourself if these beliefs are true. Would you say them to a friend? If you wouldn't say them to someone else, don't say them to yourself."

3. She Learns New Things

Purrazzo has worked with a lot of different people and companies. She says to The Sun that she makes sure to learn new things with each experience. "Every company has taught me something different," she says. "When I first went to Impact, I was seven matches in, 19-years-old and terrified. It was a massive learning curve but a good stepping stone into the independent scene."

4. She’s Grateful

Purrazzo has a successful career, and she is grateful for everything that has happened to her. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself appreciating her recent activities. She wrote in the caption, “This has quite possibly been the busiest month I’ve ever had… and one of the most rewarding. My smile is a true reflection of how I’m feeling. Grateful.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Purrazzo loves to spend time by the beach. Last summer, she took a trip to Hawaii, and made sure to get a ton of photos for Instagram. One photo she posted was of herself in the water, enjoying a cocktail. She captioned the post, “It’s 5PM somewhere.” She also posted this photo of herself in Cocoa Beach, captioning it, “Letting the freckles fly today.”

1. She Swims

Brown loves to swim as a way to stay in shape. Even if it’s cold out, she’ll still go in the water. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in an outdoor pool in the snow. She captioned the post, “The best feeling.” "Are you ready to take the plunge and try a new fitness activity? How about water exercise? Also known as aquatics, water exercise is one of the best non-impact fitness activities around and just about anybody can participate. Pregnant women, the elderly or overweight, individuals with arthritis or those recovering from an injury can all benefit from the wide variety of aquatics classes currently available," says ACE Fitness.

2. She Got In Shape For Love Island

Before making her debut on the show Love Island, Brown made sure to get in shape. She broke down her process to The Sun. “I hired a personal trainer for weight training, then would spend the rest sweating away on the treadmill,” she explained.

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Being in the public eye, Brown has had to deal with body shaming. However, she tells The Sun that she is confident in herself, despite all the comments. “What the shamers need to realize is that there's a difference between someone who is unhealthy and overweight, and someone who's just a normal size,” she said. “I'm perfectly fit and happy now — just as I was before Love Island.”

4. She Stays Humble

For Brown, humility is key. She tells Glamour that while she’s confident in herself, she still stays humble. “No one is a ten out of ten. Except maybe Beyoncé. Don’t go in there thinking you are the be all and end all."

5. She Values Her Friendships

While Brown made her debut on a dating show, she didn’t just go on there to find love. She tells Glamour that her friendships are just as important to her as her romantic relationships. "Friendships to me are just as important as relationships. I know it’s not a friendship show, it’s a love show. I’m nervous about how the girls will react.”
