1. She Dances

Gabby got into her best shape ever while competing on Dancing with the Stars. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

2. She Drinks Coffee

Gabby can often be found with a cup of coffee in hand. Science continues to prove that drinking coffee is great for your health. In fact, a new 2022 study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death. Researchers found “significant reductions” in the risk for coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure and stroke for all three types of coffee. But, only ground and instant coffee with caffeine decreased risk for arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat.

3. She Walks

Gabby, a dog owner, loves to go for walks. Here she is taking her pooch for a stroll on the beach. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace

4. She Was a Cheerleader

Gabby’s devotion to fitness can be demonstrated by one of her first major jobs as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. “No words can describe my experience as a DBC. I will always be extremely grateful for these years and the people I’ve met along the way,” she captioned an Instagram post.

5. She Swims

In a lot of her social media photos, you will find Gabby swimming, at either the beach or a pool. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to 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.

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.

Minnie Driver recently took a break from filming to go on a “Winter boat/surftrip with women who are excellent.” She captioned one bathing suit photo: “I swear we surfed. But nobody had a GoPro or a water-casing for their phone. Best trip. Good women. God, the water was warm 💙 gracias Madre and thanks for the pic Cam BARBIE FEET DRIVER! POP YOUR ... HIP! @camrich11 @minniemortimer @jamiesk @theseea,” she wrote.

1. She Loves the Outdoors

It’s no surprise Driver looked so happy outdoors. “I love being outside,” said the About a Boy actress in an interview with Everyday Health. “That’s where I’m happiest – out hiking around with my kid or with friends, and as an allergy sufferer it gets pretty tough to do that when the weather gets nice.” Claritin has helped.

2. Here's Her Take on Makeup

“If it was just me and my everyday life and I wasn’t being stalked by the paparazzi every now and again, I would wear no makeup and my hair would be up,” she told Everyday Health. “But because they’re around, I always have a base and mascara on, so my skin will always look even and my eyes won’t look like coal in the snow.”

3. She Has Woken Up Like This

“I stick my head under a freezing cold faucet!” she told Everyday Health. “Then I apply moisturizer, let it sink in while I get dressed, and then go do my makeup.”

4. Here are Her Thoughts on Aging

“Sick of this ‘50 is the new...’” she Tweeted shortly after J. Lo’s Super Bowl appearance in 2020. “50 has always been 50. Women were previously just expected to shrivel and accept their husk. I suppose it must be terrifying to a lot men if we actually burned brighter, hotter, more ambitious and emancipated from shame, the older we got. #50” She added: “I didn’t realise that in just being myself and being unafraid to say that to the world: ‘I’m a woman, I’m 50 years old, and I’m here and I’m not going anywhere,’ was going to mean so much to so many people.”

5. Her Weight Goes Up and Down, Like All of Us

“I promise I’m ok,” the actress exclaimed once on social media, after fans worried she was too thin. “I know I’m thin at the moment , but I’m genuinely not unhealthy. Thank you for you kind concern x”

Bachelorette star Gabby Windey is taking time off from her Dancing With the Stars schedule to enjoy some much-needed pool time. Windey posted a photo of herself looking serene as she relaxed in the water, wearing a white bathing suit. “Am I the drama?” she captioned the shot. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Windsey 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’s a Cheerleader

Windey was a cheerleader for the NFL's Denver Broncos for five years. Cheerleading is based on both dance and gymnastics, which can be fun ways to exercise. “Gymnasts require stamina and good cardiovascular health,” says sports medicine specialist Marie Schaefer, MD. “Exercises that get your heart pumping are beneficial both during and between competition seasons… A strong core is so vitally important for gymnasts. A stress fracture in the lower back is a common gymnastics injury that can be prevented with proper core strength. Core strength provides lumbar support and takes stress off of your spine. This is especially helpful when you’re curving your back for dismounts and arch position.”

2. She Loves Oysters

Winsey enjoys eating oysters, which experts say can have tremendous health benefits. “Yes, oysters are very good for you,” sasy preventive cardiology dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “In fact, you probably didn’t know that it’s hard to beat all the health benefits of oysters from a nutritional standpoint. Oysters can really pack a healthy punch. Think of oysters as little shells full of nutrients.”

3. She Cherishes the Little Things

Windey appreciates the small moments with fiancé Erich Schwer. “We’re just excited to finally be released and do the little things together — go to dinner, go grocery shop, go to the beach — just the mundane things that’s always more fun with a partner by your side,” Windey tells Variety. “Luckily, we’re both in the same city, so there’s not too much coordinating. We’re just excited to start this new chapter and really build the life together.”

4. She Eats Her Crustaceans

Windey loves her seafood—especially delicious shrimp. “Shellfish – especially crustaceans – are high in amino acids, known as the ‘building blocks’ of protein as we need them for growth and repair and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Most shellfish are high in vitamin B12, an important nutrient required for healthy bone formation. Low levels of vitamin B12, also known as pernicious anemia, can increase your risk of osteoporosis as you age.”

5. She Dances With Her Fiancé

Windey loves practicing for Dancing With the Stars with partner Schwer. “He's doing great. I show him all my dance moves and try and practice with him so I just, you know, want to involve him as much as I can. He's being so supportive,” she tells Extra.

Ileana D’Cruz, star of Barfi!, Main Tera Hero, Rustom, and Raid is headed into fall but still acting like it’s summer. The actress just posed in a lavender bathing suit, looking amazing. “How I miss those loooong lazy breakfasts by this incredibly stunning pristine blue water 💙- also thankful for @dr.namratajadwani for taking some lovely pictures of me 😘😛,” she captioned it. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Loves the Beach

“Gorgeous beach days and unending cocktails 🍸,” Ileana said once. “Being active on sand isn't just about soaking up some rays. When sand moves beneath your feet, it engages your ankles, arches, and calves, which can burn extra calories while you move,” says Cedars-Sinai. “Taking it slow, staying on wet sand, and wearing shoes can help keep you upright and enjoying a great workout in the ocean air this summer.”

2. She Had Body Dysmorphia

“I’ve always worried about how I looked. I’ve worried my hips are too wide, my thighs too wobbly, my waist not narrow enough, my tummy not flat enough, my boobs not big enough, my butt too big, my arms too jiggly, nose not straight enough, lips not full enough….. I’ve worried that I’m not tall enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not smart enough, not ‘perfect’ enough,” she once wrote. “Not realising I was never meant to be perfect. I was meant to be beautifully flawed.

Different.

Quirky.

Unique.

Every scar, every bump, every “flaw” just made me, me.

My own kind of beautiful.

That’s why I’ve stopped. Stopped trying to conform to the world’s ideals of what’s meant to be beautiful.

I’ve stopped trying so hard to fit in. Why should I?? When I was born to stand out.”

3. She Says “Take Care of Yourself”

Ileana once wrote: “Take care of yourself. Take care of what you choose to put into your system. The body you have is uniquely beautiful so nourish it - physically as well as mentally.

Lastly dress up, show up, not for anyone else. Just do it for you. It’s so worth it. Trust me. ♥️”

4. She Likes Dogs Over Humans

Ileana shared a photo of herself with a dog. “If you really think I’m ever gonna look at a human like this……Hahahahahahahahahhaha,” she captioned it. “#doggosoverhumans @orotheindie 🥹♥” “Owning a dog can help you live longer. A comprehensive review of studies published between 1950 and 2019 found that dog owners had a lower risk of death. Studies suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure levels and improved responses to stress. Even just living with a dog makes a difference—people who had experienced previous coronary events had an even higher level of risk reduction for death. Research has concluded that the bond between humans and dogs reduces stress, which is a major cause of cardiovascular problems,” says the American Kennel Club.

5. She Enjoys Some Country Air

“Throwing it back to the time I was casually chilling in lovely picturesque English countryside, in animal print, black lace, and goth makeup 💀 😂,” she captioned a photo she shared recently. “Grill out on the patio. Or if the weather is cool, bundle up in warm clothes and sit around a fire pit. If you and your friends haven't been vaccinated, keep your gathering small, maintaining social distance from others. Plan activities that don't require close contact. You may even choose to have everyone bring their own food and drinks. Wash your hands when you arrive and leave the gathering,” says the Mayo Clinic.
