The Only Way Is Essex star Georgia Kousoulou is enjoying a fabulous trip to Ibiza with her girlfriends. Kousoulou posted pictures of herself wearing a black swimsuit top and black skirt, captioning the pictures “Sometimes you just need a little girls weekend 💃💃💃🐜.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kousoulou 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 Loves Carbs

Kousoulou loves carbs so much she launched a campaign called Powered By Bread. "I’ve never cut out carbs in my life, that’s why this bread campaign is so good,” she tells Closer UK. “Even before I learned about it I did think I needed to cut out carbs - so that is why I decided to take part in this campaign. Now I have learned about it, it just makes sense. It’s one of those things, you can’t cut out carbs.”

2. She Was Realistic About Her Post-Baby Body

Kousoulou was determined to take her time “bouncing back” after giving birth to son Brody. “Slowly starting to feel like myself again,” she captioned an Instagram post. “Just before this holiday I started watching what I ate and went on a calorie deficit because I decided I wanted to, and I decided I was ready. And I’m proud of myself for doing it for me. Brody is 15 months and it’s now my time. I still have some way to go but I have my goal. Mummas please don’t feel pressure, please do things when YOU want to. Everyone feels different, don’t let anyone pressure you. It's enough pressure being a mum; we don’t need no extra!”

3. She Never Skips Breakfast

Kousoulou never starts the day without a healthy breakfast—her favorite is scrambled eggs on wholewheat toast. "Studies have found that although people who skip breakfast eat slightly fewer calories during the day, they tend to have higher body mass index, or BMI," says clinical dietitian Christy C. Tangney, PhD. "Much of the research just makes good common sense. If you start with a healthy, satisfying meal in the morning you're less apt to nibble on less nutritious things during the day, which we often do out of hunger — you grab the first or easiest thing in front of you."

4. Lunch Is Protein-Powered

Kousoulou enjoys chicken salad with grilled halloumi cheese for lunch. “Halloumi, like other dairy foods, is rich in calcium, a mineral we need for muscle and nerve function as well as strong healthy bones and teeth,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “A portion (80g) supplies a significant contribution towards your daily calcium needs, something which is of importance for all life-stages.”

5. She Loves Green Juice and Protein Shakes

Kousoulou enjoys drinking at least one green juice and protein shake a day. “It is better to eat than to drink veggies and fruits,” says Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center. “But it is better to drink them than not to have them at all.”

Stassie Karanikolaou is heating things up in Cabo San Lucas. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while poolside at Nobu Los Cabos. “Best weekend ever,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Stassie is a coffee drinker. In a video detailing her routine she shared to YouTube she revealed that her favorite is an iced vanilla latte, which consists of a few shots of espresso with vanilla sweetener from starbucks and oat milk. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Protein Smoothies

Stassie drinks her nutrients. She revealed that she usually has a smoothie prior to exercising. She makes it with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, probiotic green powder, peanut butter, and protein powder. Why do you need protein? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

Healthy Home Cooked Meals

Stassie starts her day with avocado toast. “We make it different every day,” she says. “Sometimes we add eggs.” In the video she makes it with sourdough bread, avocado mash, tomato, and feta cheese. She also loves making chicken noodle soup with carrots, onion celery, chicken stock, noodles, and shredded white chicken, which she cooks the night before. For more of her recipes, head over to her Instagram, where she has an entire tab devoted to cooking.

She Plays Padel

Stassie recently picked up a new hobby: Padel. In a video, she and her friends hit the courts. The sport is similar to pickleball, which helps improve heart health, enhances muscle and bone strength, increases balance and coordination, boosts brain health, and lengthens lifespan, per Cleveland Clinic.

Walking, Running, Strength Training

In her YouTube video, Stassie reveals she is devoted to fitness. She starts her morning with a “two mile walk-slash-run.” In another video she revealed her gym workout, which includes strength training exercises like weighted squats and barbell bench presses. “If you can’t tell, my arms are jello,” she joked during the workout.

Sophie Kasaei is best known for her time as a cast member of the hit reality series, Geordie Shore. She’s also created a line of hair extensions and products, Mane London. Kasaei is also ready for the new year, and is making plans. In a recent Instagram post, Kasaei revealed that she is going to be going on some trips this year. In the photo, she posed in a patterned bikini, her figure on display. She captioned the post, “First holiday for 2023 booked.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sophie Kasaei 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 Embracing Herself

Profile,Of,A,Girl,In,A,Pine,Forest,With,NakedShytterstock

Kasaei talked about the journey to creating her company to Heatworld. She says that she was inspired to launch this brand to help people embrace their natural hair. Kasaei says that she used to not like herself, and that she has started to change her approach. "One of the main reasons I ended up doing this was because of the damage I caused to my own hair. It's so unfortunate because I spent all these years trying to fix something that wasn't broken. I was trying to change my hair all the time, and trying to go with certain fashions and styles when really, I should have just embraced what I had.”

2. She’s All About Self-Care

Kasaei tells Heatworld that she always makes time for herself. "I love a self-care day, I could do them every day. My main things would be starting the day with a dog walk and then put something in the slow cooker... I'm so old! You need homely, good food on a self-care day, I've literally just put some mince and dumplings in mine. Oh and you've got to get the heating on.”

3. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Kasaei revealed some of her favorite skin products to Heatworld. "I'm also all about skincare, skincare is massive now,” she says. “Back in the day, it was all about sunbeds and damaging your skin, we just didn't care. We didn't care about late nights or drinking water but now everyone is obsessed with health. Everyone is going more natural now, so I think good skin care is absolutely key. I'm loving ZO Skin at the moment, I love a face mask as well, I love Clinique or The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Night Mask (£12).”

4. She Eats Healthy

Kasaei makes sure to eat healthy. She revealed her favorite meals to Closer Online. “Breakfast is two chicken sausages with scrambled or poached eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and a slice of gluten-free bread. I’m a sucker for a Starbucks sugar-free caramel latte with coconut milk. For lunch, I’ll always have some sort of seafood – maybe prawns. If I’m out, I’ll get a protein box of chicken, broccoli and eggs, or a soup. I’ll usually end up eating dinner late, around 9pm, which isn’t great as it’ll just sit on my stomach. I’ll have fish, roast vegetables and microwaveable rice.”

5. She Swims

One thing Kasaei likes to do to stay in shape is go swimming. She shares a lot of photos on her Instagram of herself spending time by the water. Kasaei shared this photo of herself going for a late-night dip in the pool. She captioned it, “Ur modern geordie Aphrodite.”

Georgia Steel is taking some time to pamper herself. In her latest social media post, the Love Island star poses in her swimsuit while taking a hot sauna, looking incredibly fit as well as relaxed. “Just another day at the spa :)” she captioned the snap. How does the reality star keep herself mentally and physically fit? Read on to see 6 ways Georgia Steel 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 Prioritizes Self-Care

Judging by her latest Instagram post, Georgia makes sure to take time for self-care. Another way she likes to relax? Taking hot saunas and spending time on the beach, enjoying the sun and surf. Try an infrared sauna. "Instead of steam or flame-stoked heat, infrared saunas use infrared lamps and electromagnetic magic to create warmth. The process allows infrared saunas to operate at a lower temperature while still providing therapeutic benefits," says the Cleveland Clinic. "The lamps in infrared saunas focus a penetrating warmth directly on your skin to bring heat-therapy benefits. Traditional methods crank up the air temperature within an entire sauna."

2. She Focuses on Her Strengths

Georgia accepts herself exactly the way she is, openly discussing her weaknesses. One of them? She revealed to Daily Mail that she has suffered from dyslexia since she was a child. “Since I've got a bit older, now I look back on my life and I think it's really important to accept the fact you have it and not to use it as an excuse or anything like that,” she said. “'And for young girls and boys, like, I just think it can be quite upsetting when you have a learning difficulty. But I believe when you lack in a certain area, you make up for it in another. It's not something to be ashamed of, it's just your makeup. Step into what you are and accept it. And you'll be able to excel in other areas that are better for you.”

3. She Sets Goals

Georgia is all about bettering herself as a person. “My goal going forward is to be more creative. Like a lot of my work at the moment is taking pictures and advertising for brands, and shoots,” she told Daily Mail. “I love thinking of my ideas, especially when it comes to taking my pictures, I feel like it's good to make things different, not just because I enjoy it, but also for interaction and for people to kind of work. If I'm gifted in that area, I want to just excel in it and, and use it more to my advantage.”

4. She Knows That Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness

Georgia is very open about her mental health and the lessons she has learned from fame. “Before Love Island I was a student making dinner off £2 but now I have a lovely TV, glass lights and a big mirror in a beautiful flat, my life has completely changed,” she said during an interview with The Sun. “But one thing I must say is that money does not buy happiness. The last few weeks I have been the lowest I have ever been since leaving the villa. Your highs are high but your lows are very low. It is a different lifestyle.”

5. She Appreciates Down Time

During quarantine, Georgia admitted that she was enjoying having some down time. "Because of my lifestyle, it is always very go, go, go. I go on a lot of holidays, work related holidays and stuff like that, so it is nice to just be chilling. I went on so many trips last year I lost count, it's definitely double figures. It is amazing going away, I love it so much. I went to Bali a few months ago and that was one of the best holidays I have ever had,” she told The Sun. "But sometimes when you are going away so much, it is nice to just chill at home and organise your wardrobe. It’s the simple things in life really that make me really happy."

6. She Works Out

According to Reality Titbit, Georgia works out with a trainer, Malwina. The two do a lot of strength and weight training exercises like wide squats, squats with cable pull, walking lunges with 5 kg dumbbells and squat jumps. She also likes spinning and doing sprints for cardio, and keeps her abs toned by doing reverse crunches. Other forms of exercise she enjoys? Tennis and volleyball, per her Instagram feed.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that 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 Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
