Gal Gadot, known for her triple threat talents as a singer, model, and actress born in Rosh Ha'ayin, is also a martial artist and a model. The Wonder Woman star even won the Miss Israel title in 2004. With Gal busting into the scene full throttle (little Fast and Furious pun there), it’s hard not to notice the effort she puts into her health and wellness. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see the 5 ways Gal Gadot stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. Gal Prioritizes Meditation and Healthy Sleep Patterns

In an interview with Shape, Gal said: "It's funny how the people who could really benefit from meditation are often the ones who can't find the time to do it.” She continues on to explain that in addition to meditation, getting enough quality sleep is key. According to the Mayo Clinic, “research shows proper sleep is essential for good health.” If you toss and turn at night, here are some tips to start getting a better night sleep like Gal Gadot.

2. She Drinks Enough Water

Staying hydrated can lead to a variety of benefits within the body. According to the Mayo Clinic, every cell, tissue and organ in your body needs water to work properly. Drinking enough water can help get rid of wastes in the body, maintain a normal temperature, lubricate and cushion the joints, and protect sensitive tissues. "I wake up and drink water like a camel," says Gal during an interview with Shape. "I have a full, chilled bottle of Smartwater+ Clarity before coffee or anything else.”

3. She Does Interval Training to Stay in Shape

"I like to do interval training, and I'm super grateful that I can do those workouts in my gym at home,” explained Gal during her Shape interview. “I try to get to it every day, but sometimes it's more like three to four times a week. It's been a bit challenging to carve out the time with the family at home." For the high-intensity interval training, Gal sometimes uses the assault bike or treadmill three days a week and finishes sessions with a little core work, according to her interview with Women’s Health. The Mayo Clinic explains that not only can HIIT workouts help you burn more calories, but it can get you from getting bored during the session, mixing up a variety of activities in one workout.

4. She Does Resistance Training

As Gal was getting ready for her huge role as Wonder Woman, her workouts also included resistance training, working different muscles depending on the day. Her role in the movie involved plenty of activity, so there was a big focus on lower body strength, according to Women's Health. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training is an important part of an overall fitness program and can lead to amazing benefits.

5. She Looks for Nutritious Foods

Working out is essential, but you can’t work off a terrible diet. They have to go hand-in-hand. Gal sticks to her workouts, but also loves choosing healthy foods and dishes according to the article in Shape. "I'll never forget what a fitness trainer explained: Even if you work out for two hours a day, there are a lot of hours left to eat. So the foods you choose are important," Gal said. "I'm all about the Mediterranean diet. I love to cook it, and I enjoy eating it too." The majority of the time, she’s motivated by the way it makes her feel, although admits to splurging on the occasional burger. She’s only human—not Amazonian—after all.

The model and actress from Israel, Gal Gadot, is known for her acting roles in movies like Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, Snow White (coming out in 2025), Fast & Furious, and Justice League to name a few. Gadot is looking absolutely stunning in this Instagram post captioned “Summer state of mind ☀️💛.” No matter how busy her schedule gets, Gadot prioritizes eating healthy and making time to workout.


1. She fits a workout into her morning routine

Regardless of how busy her schedule gets, she’ll make time for a morning workout, followed by a good meal. "I love all different kinds of fish, but my latest obsession is Chilean sea bass. I also like chicken and filet steak,” she said.

2. She eats Mediterranean food

When it comes to her diet, she really enjoys the Mediterranean diet. "Since I’m from the Middle East, I’m very much all about the Mediterranean diet," Gadot said. This includes plenty of veggies, seasoning, and olive oil. "I look at food as fuel, and I want to give the best to my body so I try to eat healthy on most days." According to the Cleveland Clinic, “the Mediterranean Diet emphasizes plant-based foods and healthy fats. You eat mostly veggies, fruits and whole grains. Extra virgin olive oil is the main source of fat. The Mediterranean Diet can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and many other chronic conditions. A dietitian can help you customize the diet to suit your needs.”

3. She loves filling, healthy food

For dinner, there’s a huge focus on getting enough vegetables and high protein. "I’m also big on salad with delicious dressings," Gadot shares. "The ones I make are either based with olive oil or Greek yogurt with lots of herbs and spices for a delicious kick,” she said.

4. Even her indulgences are on the healthy side

Gal Gadot.2Gal Gadot/Instagram

Even when she “splurges,” it’s not over the top and still fairly healthy. She’s found foods that still have that indulgence feel without being super unhealthy like Goodles, a kind of healthier mac & cheese that’s high in protein and fiber. "My favorites are Shella Good and Cheddy Mac," she said.

5. Eating healthy is a family affair

Gal Gadot.5Gal Gadot/Instagram

She shares her healthy eating habits with her family, passing on good values about health and wellness. "My girls always start their mornings with a filling, healthy breakfast. Smoothies or eggs on toast are their favorites," she said, "eating a balanced diet is so important."

"It's funny how the people who could really benefit from meditation are often the ones who can't find the time to do it," says Gadot. "It's quick, it's easy to use, and it really helps me feel present," says the Wonder Woman star to Shape. "That and getting enough quality sleep are the keys for me." She uses the Headspace app.

2. She Does Interval Training

"I like to do interval training, and I'm super grateful that I can do those workouts in my gym at home. I try to get to it every day, but sometimes it's more like three to four times a week. It's been a bit challenging to carve out the time with the family at home,” she told Shape.

3. She Really Hydrates

“I think that staying hydrated is a big thing. And especially for me when I travel all the time, this is something that always makes me feel energized and good. Now, as a philosophy of life that I have is, we live in such a modern, hectic, busy, pressured lives; and something that is really big for me is balance and finding the balance in everything that we do and finding ways to really charge ourselves both physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally,” she told HuffPo. “When it comes to my body, I make sure I drink water. I make sure I work out. I make sure whatever I consume as much as I can is healthy and good for me.”

4. This is Her Training for Wonder Woman

“It’s months of training and being on a special diet. And of course, at all times drinking lots of water, because especially when you’re training it’s a must for the muscles as well. We do a lot of gym strengthening work and a lot of stunt and choreography workouts. And I incorporated some Pilates into the last movie because I was like, ‘I need to do something that is good for me and not just compress the body,’ so we do Pilates as well. And yeah, it’s very intensive. But I must say that after a couple of months of being very exhausted doing it every day, you really get into it and you’ll be amazed by what your body can do,” she told HuffPo.

5. She Always Thinks About Wellness

“I’m a mother, I’m a working woman, I do this [and that], I travel… If I don’t think about wellness, I’ll be burnt out,” Gadot told IntheKnow. “We’re all living in a very modern, demanding and hectic world, and we need to find a way to balance ourselves.”

6. She Does Pilates

“I change it all the time, because I found that whenever I do one thing for too long [of a] period of time, I get bored of it and then I end up not doing anything,” Gadot told InTheKnow. “I did a lot of pilates, I walk a lot, I do a lot of hikes, I’m back in the gym now and I swim — which helps me meditate, in a way. There’s something super meditative about it.”

Gal demonstrates her yoga moves in this video. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."
