The rumored fiancée of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo flaunts her curves in a swimsuit via her latest Instagram Story while on a getaway in paradise. How does the model mom keep herself fit? Read on to see 5 of Georgina Rodriguez’s top tips for staying 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. Cook Healthy Meals

Georgina eats healthy, primarily because she and Ronaldo maintain the same diet. "We tend to eat the same because we always eat together,” she told InStyle. One way she ensures her family is eating healthy is by cooking their meals. "My star dish is lentils with chorizo sausage," she said about the popular Spanish dish.

2. Find a Workout Buddy

Georgina doesn’t just eat with her footballer (rumored!) fiancé – she also sweats with him. The two regularly exercise together. In an interview with Women’s Health she confessed she was initially “embarrassed” to train with the athlete. However, she made it a priority to keep up with him. During the pandemic the two were regularly snapped working out al fresco together.

3. Use Resistance Bands

Rodriguez spends a lot of time in the gym. One way she maximizes the burn is by using resistance bands, especially when she is doing leg and lower body workouts. In this reel she demonstrates different leg workouts at home with a resistance band placed above her knees.

4. Do Bikram Yoga

In addition to strength training workouts, Georgina maintains her limber body with the help of yoga. Her favorite practice? Bikram. She showed off some of her impressive moves in an Instagram post.

5. Indulge on Occasion

Georgina indulges every once in a while. In her interview with InStyle she confessed that when Cristiano is out of town, she and their kids will indulge in not-so-healthy food. "If he's with the team or traveling to an away match, me and the kids spoil ourselves. We ask for pizzas for example. Or we stuff ourselves with popcorn."

Georgina Rodríguez is enjoying the sandy beaches of Doha, Qatar while partner Christiano Ronaldo plays in the World Cup. Rodríguez posted a photo of herself wearing a lime green bikini, looking happy and relaxed as she soaked up the sun. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Rodríguez 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 Boxes

Rodríguez loves to do boxing-style workouts with a personal trainer. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

2. She Loves To Swim

Rodríguez is an accomplished and skilled swimmer, and particularly enjoys swimming in the ocean. ”Swimming is the fourth most popular sports activity in the United States and a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity,” says 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. This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease. Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people. People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

3. She Practices Yoga

Rodríguez is a dedicated yogi and has been for several years. “Yoga, meditation, and other mind-body practices train your body and mind to be able to cope with stress better and improve overall health and well-being,” says Marlynn Wei MD, JD. “In a national survey, over 85% of people who did yoga reported that it helped them relieve stress. Exercise is a very useful way to relieve stress, but yoga is different from spinning class or weight-lifting in that it powerfully combines both physical fitness with an underlying philosophy of self-compassion and awareness.”

4. Uphill Running

Rodríguez loves to run, especially uphill, which experts say has fantastic health benefits compared to sprinting on a flat surface. “You get more injuries when you’re running at a high effort doing repeat 200s on the track than you would going uphill,” says USATF certified coach Tom Schwartz, coach of the Tinman Elite racing team. “[Hills are] an awesome way to build muscle strength and power, without pounding your body.”

5. Ballet Dancing

Rodríguez took ballet classes when she was younger, something she now enjoys as an adult. “Ballet moves take a great deal of focus,” says the North American Mental Health Professional Advice Council (NAMHPAC). “You can’t just zone out as you would on an elliptical or exercise bike. You need to always be present and concentrating on what you’re doing. This can take just as much practice as the physical side of ballet. The benefit of ballet training also includes it being a form of meditation.”

Actress Génesis Rodríguez recently enjoyed a trip to Barbados. She’s been sharing some highlights on Instagram. Rodríguez just shared a new reel from the beach. In it, she walked into the water.

1. She Decompresses

Rodríguez gave an interview to Nightmarish Conjurings to promote her movie Centigrade. She says that she has to decompress after shooting days. “It was very very difficult. It’s not like you can turn it off, turn off the characters. You have to go home and continue the diet. What I would do was watch reality TV shows to try to get out of my head because I was so frightened and so scared of my job that I would just try not to think about anything. So, that’s what I would do. It was hard. You had to have a partner, of someone you’d trust to be able to do that.”

2. She Wants Inclusivity

Rodríguez wants to increase the amount of diversity in the movie and TV industry. “Well, I have got to say being a Latino woman, a Latinx woman, it’s very difficult for me to even land a lead role in a movie,” she tells Nightmarish Conjurings. “Let alone being considered a Naomi so, this to me was a feat because I was able to be a lead of a movie. But also, I wanted and I feel like I deserved the opportunity. And I hope that changes. I do still feel it’s not there. Hollywood is not there yet. They have to be more inclusive and they have to consider us as being a part of the American population. I should have no problems in getting a Naomi role, but I did. It was a challenge. It is a challenge for me to get there. So, I pray that it changes. That there [are] more opportunities for someone like me and the door is completely open and it is all about just your talent. Not because you are filling a quota.”

3. She Wants To Be Challenged

Rodríguez opened up about her ideal qualities in a man to Muscle and Fitness. She says that she wants to be challenged in life. “I don’t like it when a guy lets me win. I think that’s stupid and lame. I like a guy who gives me a challenge, because if I’m going to win I’m going to beat you when you’re giving it your all. Especially in video games.”

4. She Loves Green Juice

Rodríguez makes sure to eat healthy. One thing she likes to do is drink green juice. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself enjoying a green smoothie. Rodríguez captioned the post, “Wash your face. Drink your greens. Do some gua sha. Block the haters. Stay hydrated Mami.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Rodríguez is all about skincare. She wrote this essay for POPSugar about the importance of skincare. “It's so important to take the time to treat your skin. We always talk about that red carpet glow — how do actresses do it? It's really about loving the skin we are in, but…Are we loving it like we're supposed to? Taking a few minutes to pamper your skin might seem like the last thing you want to add to your already busy to-do list, and it really does take time, but your skin deserves it!”

Colombia is the plains where they teach us to take root in the roots, to keep original customs of our ancestors but above all they teach us to preserve the value and importance of caring for where we live and to preserve the Colombian boar, hardworking but above all humble and supportive.”

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” 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.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
