Geneva Cruz is spending time by the beaches on Boracay Island. Naturally, she’s breaking out her bikini and showing off her figure. Cruz posted a new set of photos of herself posing by the water in a yellow bathing suit. Cruz is also not about to let anyone tell her not to wear a bikini, and she made it be known in the caption of the post. She wrote, “When some people tell you not to wear a bikini on the beach because you're already in your 40s...Me: WATCH ME!” Read on to see 5 ways Geneva Cruz 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 Embraces Age

Cruz is in her 40s, but she doesn’t care. She tells GMA that she embraces getting older, and is growing into a better person. “I love myself better at this age: I've learned to reevaluate myself and the others around me, I rarely worry about little things, most especially the things I have no control of, I stay away from toxic people, and get really happy and continue to work on being financially independent with my very first business which I am so nervous and excited about. I believe It's never too late to reinvent ourselves."

2. She’s All About Self-Love

Cruz is all about self-love and acceptance. She tells GMA that she embraces her flaws. “But you gotta learn to accept and love yourselves with wrinkles, cellulites, loose-skin and all,” Cruz said. “Self-love, and love for others can make your heart and skin glow.”

3. She Eats Healthy

Food,And,Drink,,Healthy,Lifestyle,,Diet,And,Nutrition,Concept.,GreenShutterstock

Cruz tells GMA that she has changed what she eats as she’s gotten older. “You eat the same food as you used to eat at the age of 20, and you could gain weight really fast because our metabolism decreases and we lose muscle faster. To avoid this unpleasant issue we have to follow a healthy diet and do exercise. Unfortunately, there are no magical recipes that can help us become fit. We have to work hard to be in good shape

4. She Eats A Protein Rich Diet

Cruz makes sure to get enough protein in her diet. Despite being a vegetarian, she still gets enough protein from other foods like tofu and veggies. “Don’t forget to eat your vegetables,” she tells Push. “If you’re sometimes a vegetarian like myself, you can still get your proteins through tofu, soybeans, spirulina, kale, spinach, etc., while you train.”

5. She Buys Clothes For The Future

Cruz doesn’t like to spend money on junk food. She tells Push that she likes to spend her money on nice clothing that she can wear in the future. Cruz says that this helps her stay motivated to staying healthy. "Instead, buy yourself a new dress for the future you, or a pair of new shoes,” she says. “It’s going to last longer than a pizza or a donut. Just saying.”

Sofia Castro, the Mexican actress and star of El Dragón: Return of a Warrior, loves to spend time outside. In fact, she just posted a new set of swimsuit photos on Instagram. In them, she lounged on a chair in the sun. She wore a white bathing suit and black cap, looking gorgeous. Castro captioned the post, “Te la Dedico.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sofia Castro 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 Writes

Castro loves to write. She recently wrote a book, and opened up about the process in an interview about the project. “The process of writing a book was absolutely liberating and healing and I hope you feel that way too, there are many things in it that I am not able to tell in front of a camera, either because they are very painful, or they give me a lot of happiness and I kept them, or because they make me feel sorry.”

2. She Plays With Animals

Castro is an animal lover. Her Instagram is full of photos of herself interacting with animals. Castro loves dogs. She posted this photo of her chihuahua on Instagram. She captioned the post, “His little tongue out.” “Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk,” says Harvard Health. “It can also:

  • help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life
  • make kids more active, secure, and responsible
  • improve the lives of older individuals
  • make you more social and less isolated

Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”

3. She Swims

Castro loves to spend time in the water. She has posted several photos of herself at the beach. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself wading in Cartagena. She captioned the post, “To be very honest I don't remember when these photos were taken.”

4. She Goes Outside

Castro loves spending time in the great outdoors. One thing she likes to do is go hiking. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself and a friend hiking in Rio. Castro also loves to kayak. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself kayaking with friends. “There are statistics, studies and articles to support our idea, but we like to focus on the feedback from our participants. Consistently they state how peaceful it is to be in a kayak. You are close to the water, there is no roar of the motor, only the soothing sounds of a paddle as it gently glides through the water. And they consistently tell us that participating in a HOW event saved their life,” says Heroes on the Water.

5. She Bikes

Castro loves to bike ride. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself going for a ride. She captioned the post, “Everything can be achieved, even if the road is hard, there is a stress that lights up the place.” Biking is a great cardio exercise.

1. She Embraces Her Body

Geneva loves her body – cellulite and all. “Here’s to the very few of you who constantly compare me to the very young, wholesome me and feel that a woman in her forties shouldn’t dance anymore like a Pussycat doll or JLO (she’s much older than me, FYI), and show some skin because it is unclassy,” she captioned a recent post. “Do you like my cellulite? There! Celebrate on my cellulite, don’t focus on the body because it’s kind of insane for a forty-five-year-old, right? 😒🤓 Now close your eyes and breathe… shift the feeling of jealousy into something positive and let go.🧘🏽‍♀️ When you celebrate other people’s success and happiness, you get success and happiness for yourselves too.”

2. She Does Cardio, Yoga, Pilates, and Abs

Geneva said she maintains her toned body by doing cardio, yoga, and Pilates two to three times a week. She also trains her abs every day. "If you are going to start something, then keep at it – consistency is the driving force behind achieving the abs you are after. If you struggle with motivation, the best way to get abs—female style is to find your girl support team! Get yourselves a training partner; I sometimes kulit my cousin @glenda_cbayona to train me or train with me when I’m lacking motivation. Another tip would be to save a photo on your phone of the body you want, or print and post the picture on the wall where you can always see it," she wrote in an Instagram post revealing her many diet and exercise secrets. "It all comes down to this… You can crunch all your way up to Kilimanjaro, but if you still have a layer of fat sitting there, your abs will not appear until that’s shifted. Good thing is, some workouts can be great for molding your abs. This can create a sense of definition – even with a layer of fats surrounding them. Yes, it would help burn that fat before your efforts pay off. However, nothing stops you from training your abs while you continue to burn your unwanted fats."

3. She Eats a High Protein, Low Carb, Vegetarian Diet

Geneva maintains a high protein, low carbohydrate diet that is mostly vegetarian. *Don’t forget to eat your vegetables, and if you’re sometimes a vegetarian like myself, you can still get your proteins through tofu, soybeans, spirulina, kale, spinach, etc., while you train," she said in the same post.

4. She Strength Trains

Geneva stresses the importance of strength training, especially for those in their mid-30s and older. "Resistance training is another excellent way to decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass," she wrote in the same post. "I know that weight-lifting is a must most especially for people in their mid-thirties, the forties, and fifties, because the more mass you have, the higher your basal metabolic rate (BMR) will be by up to 7 percent in some cases, according to my coach friend. This means you are burning more calories even at rest, which equates to goodbye fat and hello abs!!! But this is still a goal for me.”

5. She Doesn’t Reward Herself with Food

Geneva doesn’t reward herself with unhealthy food. "Instead, buy yourself a new dress for the future you or a pair of new shoes – it’s going to last longer than a pizza or a donut. Just saying," she suggested in the same post.

1. She Uses Hand Weights

In this Instagram video, Cediel revealed some of her favorite workouts to her followers. In the video, she is seen doing lateral lifts, and dancing with the weights in her hands. She humorously captioned the video, “Who else gets confused exercising? Train, sing, dance, smile, repeat.” Here’s a quick handweight exercise from personal trainer Mark Langowski:

1 leg deadlift into biceps curl and shoulder press.

Men; use 12-20lb db’s, Women Use 5-10lb db’s.

“Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward. Standing on one leg, tilt at the waist, keeping your back from rounding, and lower your chest toward the floor until your back is parallel to the ground. Exhale as you slowly come up and, at the top of movement, curl the weights up to your shoulders, then press them overhead. Do 8 repetitions for each leg.”

2. She Swims

Cediel likes to go swimming. In fact, she recently received the exciting opportunity to go swimming with dolphins in Cabo San Lucas. She posted this photo and this video on Instagram of herself interacting with the dolphins in the water. “Water is significantly denser than air — by almost 800 times. That means you can build muscle strength as you move through water. One study found that a long-term water exercise program was actually more effective than working out on land to build muscle strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Catches Some Rays

Twn minutes of sun can be good for you each day because it provides vitamin D. “Vitamin D is a nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones,” says the Mayo Clinic. “That's because your body can only absorb calcium, the primary component of bone, when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.”

4. Love Yourself, She Urges

“Each of us has different purposes. Love yourself, respect yourself, value yourself and treat yourself as a priority. Don’t compare yourself. FOCUS ON YOU. Sow today so that tomorrow you will reap the fruits of your effort. Change your mentality, start the transformation from the inside and you will see how you reflect it outside,” she once captioned a post.

5. She Loves Her Father

“Today I am super emotional and I think that now I am finally going to talk about this thing that many of you have asked me about, my dad,” she said on air in 2021. He has Parkinson’s. “My dad has a lot of fans around here, I love him, he’s the best dad in the world….I think that many people who have a family member with special health conditions will understand me, I wanted to comment on this, until today I feel like sharing it and telling them that they definitely love their relatives, love their parents, children, cousins, someone who has a special health condition.”

Grace Charis is more than just a golf influencer—she’s a powerhouse on and off the course. Known for blending her love of the sport with a lifestyle that keeps her fit and fabulous, Charis recently shared a video on Instagram, inviting followers to “Come play this par 3 with me!” Decked out in a sleek white visor, matching skirt, and light pink top, she showcased not just her swing but her toned physique. So, how does she stay in such great shape? From perfecting her golf game to hitting the gym, here are the five fitness habits that keep Grace Charis on top of her game.

She Golfs

Golf is the main way Charis keeps herself in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

She Swims

Charis likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself snorkeling in Japan. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of health benefits, including building your muscles. “The built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”

She Lifts Weights

Charis shared some of her favorite workouts in this TikTok. In it, she is seen doing a lot of workouts with weights. According to ACE Fitness, using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Does Glutes Bridges

Charis is also seen doing glute bridges in her TikTok. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Glute bridges are a useful exercise for building core stability, building glute strength, and improving overall exercise form and function. When performed as a stabilization exercise, glute bridges activate the glutes to function as they are supposed to in other movements like squats, deadlifts, walking, and running. Adding weight progresses glute bridges into a strength exercise, which can build strength in the glute muscles. By increasing glute activation and strengthening the glutes, not only will your form get better in other exercises, but you might also gain the added benefit of reduced low back pain in your everyday life.”

She Does Lunges

Charis is also seen doing lunges with weights in her TikTok. Lunges are very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

Tedeschi likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of videos in her Instagram story highlight of herself using a reformer. Better Health reports, “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine.”

She Does Burpees

Tedeschi likes to do burpees to keep herself in shape. She shared this video in her Instagram story highlight of herself doing them. The Cleveland Clinic says that burpees have a lot of benefits. “From an aerobic standpoint, burpees put your ticker to the test. The exercise offers the breath-stealing effect of running in a very condensed timeframe.”

She Does Deadlifts

Tedeschi is seen doing deadlifts with a weight in this Instagram story. Deadlifts are very beneficial. ACE Fitness says, “The most important benefit of the RDL is that it teaches the proper movement and biomechanics of standing hip flexion and extension. This is the foundational movement for squatting, whether the movement is performed with a weight in the gym or while bending over to pick an object up from the floor.”

Rachel Platten is a very successful singer. She is known for songs like “Fight Song” and “Stand By You.” Recently, Platten announced on Instagram that she will be going on tour this year. She captioned a post, “I cannot wait to see your faces and hug you and cry together and feel our feelings and connect and saaaang!! Tickets go on sale this Monday. But if you’re signed up for my email list then you’ll get an email giving you early access TODAY. See you soon my friends.”

She Opened Up About Her Struggles

After having her first child, Platten opened up about her struggles on Instagram. She tells TODAY that she received a lot of support from others after doing this. "I get flooded with comments from other women and men saying that it's OK, and I'm not alone, I'm not doing a bad job," she said. “It's making me feel not isolated. I could have gone down a road of this being a much darker experience had I not learned early on to be vulnerable and vocalize what I'm going through. That's been a really big life raft for me.”

She’s Comfortable With Her Weight

On her Instagram, Platten revealed that she is not putting pressure on herself to lose pregnancy weight, as she is comfortable with herself. “I am not less worthy of love just because I can’t seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of ‘baby weight.’ I’ve tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance. I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weight and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life and am honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking myself back to pre-baby weight. F— it.”

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Platten shared some of her skincare secrets with Health Insight. “I apply face masks regularly — twice a week or more — and often go to sleep with a thin layer of a hydrating mask instead of a moisturizer. I also have a five-step routine (cleansing, toning, using a serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen) that I do every morning and night no matter what. It’s a form of meditation for me and reminds me that even when I’m crazy busy there’s always time to breathe and love on myself a little.”

She’s Consistent With Wellness

Platten makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She shared her secrets with Health Insight. “In addition to my daily routine, I get regular facials (or give myself mini facials when I don’t have time), drink a crazy amount of water, eat healthy foods, and wear hats almost every time I’m in the sun. As cheesy as it might sound, I really do love taking care of my skin and I put a lot of effort into maintaining it.”

She Gives Back

Platten is a big believer in giving back to others. “I think we can remember how powerful we are by giving — giving compliments, our time to charities, and random acts of kindness,” she told Health Insight. “We can feel sad and powerless when we only focus on what we don’t have or don’t want, but we can easily shift this by switching that focus to what we have to offer! In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful or attractive than a woman who knows her worth and power.”
