1. Balanced Diet

Bridge says her dietary habits are simple and unexciting. "I’m quite a boring eater,” she says. “I go through phases. I’ve got an obsession with granola and yogurt with raspberries and blueberries so I’ll have that in the morning with a cup of tea. For lunch, I’ll have salad with tuna, and then for dinner I’ll have brown rice and quinoa and some sort of fish or meat, and some kale. I’m obsessed with kale."

2. Weight Training

Bridge enjoys weight training as part of her workout routine. "I tend to do an hour or so a day,” she says. “Up until the new year I was doing Pilates and boxing throughout the week, whereas now I’ve started weight training. A lot of people I knew did it and I’ve heard a lot about it burning fat and being good for toning, so I’ve started doing that with a new trainer. I really like it. My bum and my legs just weren’t changing before I started weight training, but now I have noticed a difference [from squatting with free weights] quite quickly."

3. Hot Yoga

Bridge takes hot yoga classes with her husband. "Wayne and I have recently started going – it was something I'd been wanting to try for ages and I love that it's something we can do together," she said. "I mean it's hard work - and so sweaty it’s unreal - but it's also calm. I couldn't just sit there and meditate all morning - that's not really my thing. It's not good for me to give my brain too much space to think."

4. Mindful About Drinking

Bridge feels better when she doesn’t drink too much alcohol. “It's recommended to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread across 3 days or more,” says the NHS. “That's around 6 medium (175ml) glasses of wine, or 6 pints of 4% beer. There's no completely safe level of drinking, but sticking within these guidelines lowers your risk of harming your health.”

5. Pandemic Workouts

Bridge took advantage of the pandemic lockdowns to enjoy her exercise. "Since lockdown, I've been a lot more consistent with my workouts," she said. "I think part of that has been finding the workout that I enjoy. For me in the past, working out has been a real chore and a punishment. When you're down that route, you're never going to keep it up. Find the thing you enjoy, even if it's not something that everyone else does. We all get wrapped up in the cool thing of the moment, but I think it's more important to stick to what works for you."

1. She Meal Prepped to Lose Weight

Frankie famously transformed her figure, attributing hte slim down to planning her meals ahead of time. “I gained the weight by drinking, not watching what I was eating and not looking after my body when I went to uni. I lost it by doing a meal prep diet. I had a healthy breakfast and then prepped my lunch and dinners myself – really healthy and balanced meals,” she told Closer.

2. She Works Out...A Lot

Another way Frankie shed the weight? “I was also going to the gym three to four times a week and the weight just fell off me,” she told Closer.

3. Now, She Watches What She Eats

“After I lost weight I stopped it a little bit and just watched what I ate instead of being organised about it. But I always eat porridge or have a protein shake in the morning because it sets me up for the day. I keep an eye on my snacks as well. I’m gluten and dairy-free, so I snack on lots of gluten-free things, which helps with bloating,” Frankie told Closer about her diet. “I’m eating a lot more vegetarian meals and I always try to pick the veggie options, but I don’t think I’ll convert completely.”

4. She Chooses Weights Over Cardio

“I used to do a lot of cardio when I was losing weight, but now I’ve got a personal trainer who I see about three times a week. We do weights and a lot with my core, which is good because while my legs and arms stay slim, my stomach tends to bloat. We do HIIT as well – I hate it, but it’s so worth it,” Frankie revealed to Closer.

5. Pizza Is Her Cheat Meal

Pizza is Frankie’s ultimate cheat meal. “Me and boyfriend Harry Lee are obsessed with pizza. Since we’ve been together, we’ve probably had about 500 pizzas,” she told Closer before splitting up with Lee.

6. She Embraces Her Body

What is Frankie’s favorite part of her body? “Probably my curves, which is something I hated this time last year. Although I’ve lost weight, I’m naturally curvy. As I get older I’ve started to appreciate that because I feel like a woman. But belly fat has always been an issue for me. I don’t think I’ll ever have a completely flat stomach, but I’d like to tone it up a bit more.,” she told Closer.

7. She Is Open About Plastic Surgery

Frankie doesn’t shy away from talking about plastic surgery, confessing to a breast lift. “They sagged where I’d lost weight. No one had commented on them, but when I looked in the mirror I felt like I had the body of an old lady. Most girls my age have perky breasts, but mine were the complete opposite. I had them lifted and feel so much better,” she told Closer.

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"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.

Puerto Rican star Gabriela Berlingeri is enjoying some much-needed beach time. The jewelry designer and girlfriend of superstar Bad Bunny shared pictures of herself posing in crystal-clear waters in a green bikini and white sun hat. “More pics from the cam,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Berlingeri 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. Lots of Swimming

One glance at Berlingeri’s social media shows how much she loves swimming. “Swimming is one of the few activities that work your whole body,” says the British Heart Foundation. “Breaststroke, backstroke, front crawl, butterfly and even doggy paddle get your legs and arms moving. This in turn works your back and core muscles.”

2. Outdoorsy Type

Berlingeri is no couch potato—she enjoys being outside as much as possible. “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. Snacking on Mango

Berlingeri loves fresh sliced mango for an on-the-go snack, which is a great source of vitamin C. "Vitamin C is good for immunity," says Maya Vadiveloo, assistant professor in the department of nutrition and food sciences at the University of Rhode Island. "It's an antioxidant so it can help with oxidative stress in the body. The primary benefit, in addition to being a really good source of vitamin C, is that (mangoes) are a decent source of vitamin A, folate and are pretty high in fiber, which is beneficial for colon cancer prevention, heart disease and weight control."

4. She’s a Singer

Singing and performing are creative endeavors very important to Berlingeri. “Singing at the Estadio Azteca was something I never in my life imagined doing, let alone daring,” she says. “I don't know how I did it, but I did it. I'm thankful for the people who motivated me to achieve it because I couldn't do it alone. Thanks to my mother for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico and with my father for raising me on this island that I love so much.”

5. Blue Therapy

Berlingeri loves to be by the ocean as much as she can. Having access to blue space is shown to have mental health benefits. "Increased views of blue space is significantly associated with lower levels of psychological distress," says Amber L. Pearson, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of health geography and a member of MSU's Water Science Network.
