Olivia Dunne is enjoying a little pool time as her Fall semester at LSU kicks in. The 19-year-old gymnast posted a photo of herself wearing a two-piece black swimsuit, captioning the shot, “Shell yea! @vuoriclothing.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Dunne 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 Works Hard

“First, I wake up and go to the class, where I’m usually with my teammates. I study [at the communications center] and get schoolwork done,” Dunne tells the New York Post. “[After class] I come home, eat lunch and go right to the gym, where I train for hours. I have conditioning before or after practice, which takes place at football operations. Then, I go straight to the dining hall to eat dinner. After that, I come home [to my dorm] and do my work stuff at night. Making content is definitely time consuming. There’s 100s of takes and then you choose that perfect one for Instagram and TikTok. I probably take an hour or two to create content after practice. But some days I’m so busy, I can't do it all.”

2. She Loves To Surf

Dunne loves the water, and frequently posts pictures of herself surfing. “Surfing can definitely be considered a form of interval training which combines short, high intensity bursts of speed with a recovery phase, repeated during exercise training,” says CSUSM professor Dr. Sean Newcomer, who researches the health benefits of surfing. “Many surfers believe that while surfing is fun, it’s not necessarily a viable form of exercise on its own. This information has so far shown that surfing is very beneficial to the cardiovascular system and is a great part of a healthy lifestyle.”

3. She Scuba Dives

Dunne is fearless—the gymnast loves to scuba dive, sometimes even with sharks. "Seawater contains minerals such as magnesium, sodium, calcium, chloride, and sulfate that have natural benefits for the body," says Abe Malkin, MD. "Magnesium helps moisturize the skin and reduces inflammation. People with skin [issues] like eczema or dryness are recommended to take regular baths in salted solutions or swim in the sea."

4. She Enjoys Swimming

Dunne loves to swim, especially in the ocean. ”Swimming is the fourth most popular sports activity in the United States and a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity,” says 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. This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease. Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people. People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

5. She Loves Meeting New People

Dunne enjoys making new friends, and subverting their expectations of her. “I feel like people can look at me and be like, ‘Oh, she always posts pictures of herself. She’s that gymnast.’ But, whenever I meet new people, they’re always surprised, like, ‘Oh, I didn’t think you talk that much,’ or, ‘I didn’t know you were this friendly.’ I love meeting new people, I really do,” she says.

British professional snowboarder Jenny Jones just had a magical trip to Wales, UK, where she enjoyed one of her favorite non-snow water activities. Jones, 43, shared pictures from her vacation, including ones of her paddleboarding in the ocean, wearing a black bikini and big smile. “🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales ❤️ Beautiful #nefyn What a trip to finish off the summer holidays. Sun, wind, rain and wobbles… still building back the core muscles… slow and steady on the paddle-board… It's been great fun although I definitely still need to improve 😂. Not long until back on a surfboard AND the winter snowboard workshops are around the corner !!! What trip are you all finishing your summer holidays with? Surf, skate, SUP, beach, mountain, camping?? #SUP,” she captioned the post. Jones is Great Britain’s first ever Winter Olympic medalist on snow—here’s how she trains like the champion she is.

1. Lunges and Squats

Jones recommends working on lunges and squats on anyone who wants to become an exceptional snowboarder. “It’s a great idea to do some pre-trip snow-specific training to get your body ready for the slopes,” she says. “Try exercises such as single leg lunges, squats and hamstring strengthening to build up power in your legs, as well as dynamic and explosive body weight jumping routines and core exercises, including rotational movements. It’s always great to get some lessons if you’re an intermediate or advanced rider who wants to improve. Check out the two snowboard specific workshops I am running in the French Alps this year, alongside a group of handpicked experts who will share the training technique that led to my successful snowboarding career.”

2. Mindfulness For Success

Jones focuses on the mental as well as physical aspect of training and competing. “I think there has been a huge link in all areas of my snowboarding, in freestyle, backcountry riding and in competition,” she says. “How you mentally approach a new trick or a steep, off-piste mountain descent can greatly affect the outcome. In some areas, I have naturally found I enjoy the challenges and at other times I have struggled, for example dealing with fear after injury. I also found it really helpful to understand what motivates me and why, as this, in turn, helps with goal setting. If your approach to something is mentally or physically in line then it is more likely to have positive results. I think I really use visualization techniques I have learnt for snowboarding with surfing, although I also think surfing lends itself to calming the mind and giving you focus as you’re usually surrounded by beautiful scenery, ocean settings and you’re away from all the distractions of technology.”

3. Surfing Queen

Jones says regular surfing has only improved her snowboarding. “[Surfing taught me] the importance of core stability and how your core strength works, and the difference that weight distribution makes,” she says. “In my case it's about how your core helps you to make the movements you want to make on a board, and about how to distribute your weight – what difference does it make if I move back here or if I stay centered. That sort of thing.”

4. Japanese Onsen

Jones highly recommends the hot springs in Japan as the ultimate way to relax and rejuvenate tired muscles. “There are few pleasures in life greater than slipping into an onsen,” she says. “These natural hot spring water pools may be indoor or outdoor, and are the perfect antidote to tired muscles and after a hard day on the hill, this is the fastest route to a state of zen-like calm and bliss. Most onsen are single sex and many don’t allow people with tattoos, but the Niseko Grand Hotel has a wonderful rotenburo – an outdoor hot spring – that welcomes boys, girls and ink. But no cameras!”

5. She’s a Role Model

Jones is proud of representing women in her sport. “I never liked that whole argument of men and women this that and the other, I like the fact our sport is for men and women and we ride together all the time and get involved in checking out the course and doing jumps together in that respect it’s good,” she says. “But as a woman showing that I could ride this big slopestyle course and be technical and land on my feet and show that I’m doing well in a sport that’s an action sport I think the reaction is…well what I was shocked at was the reaction from so many girls that’s probably because it was all in the papers and on all these front covers, how often do you get snowboarding and a girl on the front cover of a newspaper, how cool is that?”
