1. Maintain a Positive Outlook

“Life is our biggest gift, and it’s more fragile than we know. In a second, everything can change,” she recently wrote in an inspiring post. “There is no better time than NOW to take a leap of faith, and do all the things you've never taken the time or had the courage to do. To spend time with the people you love, to live, to love, to play, to laugh--may we live each unique moment of our lives with presence and gratitude.”

2. Meditate

Gisele is a big proponent of meditation. “Meditation has been an incredible gift in my life. Just 10 minutes of practice a day can change your day--and creating a regular meditation practice can change your life,” she wrote in another Instagram post. “It has transformed mine! If meditation is challenging for you, perhaps you can start off with a guided meditation, or with some nature sounds, or mantras. Whatever works best for you.”

3. Do Yoga

Yoga is one of Gisele’s favorite workouts, as it benefits her body and mind. “Many years ago, after going through one of the most difficult times in my life, I immersed myself in the very deep process of getting to know myself better,” she wrote on Instagram. She added that as a result of her practice, she “came out of that period stronger and happier, and knowing that no matter how difficult challenges appear in the moment, they always bring with them an opportunity for transformation.”

4. Eat Mostly Plant-Based

"At our house, we try to eat organic foods that are in season and locally grown," she told Marie Claire about diet of choice. "We believe that by buying locally, we'll have a better chance at getting foods that are fresh and also support local farmers. We eat mostly a plant-based diet." Of course, there is always room for cheese bread!

5. Maintain an Active Lifesyle

Even when she isn’t exercising, Gisele is moving. "I love any type of exercise that I can do outdoors; horseback riding, biking, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to stay active and connect with nature," she explained to Marie Claire. "Not only do these activities help me stay in shape, but they help in giving me clarity and perspective. Being active fuels my body, mind, and soul. It just makes me happy."

6. It’s All About Moderation

Gisele allows herself to indulge. “I’m not super strict and believe everything is OK in moderation,” she told Marie Claire. “My ultimate guilty pleasure is dark chocolate.” And cheese bread, of course.

1. She Eats Organic, Local Food

Bündchen tells Marie Claire that she makes sure her family eats healthy. She says that she likes to buy food from local places, and organic food. "At our house, we try to eat organic foods that are in season and locally grown," she says. "We believe that by buying locally, we'll have a better chance at getting foods that are fresh and also support local farmers.”

2. She Eats Plant-Based

In addition to eating organic food, Bündchen and her family also follow another popular lifestyle. “We eat mostly a plant-based diet,” she revealed to Marie Claire. According to Harvard Health, plant-based and similar diets have a lot of benefits. “Vegetarian diets have also been shown to support health, including a lower risk of developing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased longevity. Plant-based diets offer all the necessary protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals for optimal health, and are often higher in fiber and phytonutrients.”

3. She Goes Outside

Bündchen loves to spend time outside. She loves to do different outdoor activities. "I love any type of exercise that I can do outdoors; horseback riding, biking, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to stay active and connect with nature," she told Marie Claire. "Not only do these activities help me stay in shape, but they help in giving me clarity and perspective. Being active fuels my body, mind, and soul. It just makes me happy."

"I can be in a state of meditation while I practice,” she wrote. “Whether it involves music or mantras or breath work or meditation, [yoga is] a powerful beautiful spiritual practice. Yoga gave me back my life."

Bündchen is a fan of practicing self-defense. She revealed on Instagram that she is learning jiu-jitsu, and posted videos of herself sparring with a trainer. “I feel stronger, more confident and empowered since I started practicing self-defense,” she wrote. “I feel it’s an important skill for all, but especially for us women.”

Georgina Rodríguez is having a blissful vacation with her family, enjoying the sun and sea on a luxurious getaway. The model partner of soccer superstar Christiano Ronaldo showed off her spectacular figure in a bright two-piece swimsuit, posting the snaps on Instagram. “Bellissimo,” said one admiring fan. 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 Is Passionate About Food

Rodríguez loves good food—but admits she doesn’t usually cook. “I love paella, Spanish omelet, croquettes, I really like sausages with wine, meatballs, bean stew, chorizo sausage,” she says. “I remember once asking for a ham sandwich during a photo shoot before a fashion show and saying, ‘Don’t make me do this when I’m hungry’ because when I get hungry the truth is that I can be a bit unbearable. Life without food is a bit senseless to me. It’s not normal to ask for ham sandwiches before doing this sort of event and the response I got when I requested one, was ‘I like people who eat, it means they can be trusted’ and that’s what I feel, that when people relax and eat, I think ‘Wow, they like being with me!’”

2. Eating Like An Athlete

Rodríguez’s husband Christian Ronaldo’s former live-in chef opened up about cooking for the family. “There are no expensive foods,” chef Giorgio Barone tells the Sunday Mirror. “But healthy foods. I use organic and natural foods – fish, chicken, veal, eggs, avocado, coconut oil and black rice. You have to take care of your body as if taking care of a Ferrari… I cook using coconut oil. It is also imp­­ortant to drink plenty of water – but purified. And drink a lot. Of course, it’s all combined with hard training. But rest is as fundamental as training and nutrition – including in the afternoon. And eating early in the evening, not late.”

3. She Works Out In Her Home Gym

Rodríguez loves to work out with her husband in their fully-equipped home gym. Working out with a partner or a group can make a positive impact on your workouts, experts say. “Group settings can lead to a positive competitiveness. For instance, wanting to keep up with those around you can make you push yourself harder than you would on your own,” says certified exercise physiologist John Ford. “Seeing what others are capable of doing can inspire you to do more. I’ve personally had this experience: Watching others made me realize I had put some mental barriers up to pushing harder or trying different exercises/routines.”

4. She’s a Yogi

Rodríguez is a devotee of yoga, practicing Bikram yoga as part of her healthy lifestyle. "I tell first-time students at the end of class that they have to come back soon because the second class is the fun class,” says Bikram yoga teacher Kristin Bergman. “At least once a day, someone new to this yoga will tell me, 'You know, I didn't believe you, but my second class was great!' Come into the space ready to learn and absorb new material. And don't take yourself too seriously, folks — it's just yoga!"

5. Pizza and Popcorn

Ronaldo sticks to a strict diet while training, but when he’s out of town, Rodríguez enjoys some treats with the kids. "We tend to eat the same because we always eat together,” she tells InStyle. "But 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.”

Bianca Gascoigne is expecting her first baby and has never looked better. The 36-year-old British TV star and stepdaughter of soccer legend Paul Gascoigne posted a photo of herself wearing a blue bathing suit and cradling her baby bump, as she poses in beautiful azure ocean waters. “Beach Bump 🏝🐠,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gascoigne 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. Veggie-Based Dishes

Gascoigne loves whipping up delicious, plant based meals with vegetables like sweet potato and cauliflower. “Cauliflower is a source of choline, an essential nutrient we need for mood, memory and recall,” says registered nutritionist Kerry Torrens. “As such, it is a key building block of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger involved in signaling the central nervous system. Choline is also essential for brain development.”

2. Protein For Breakfast

Gacoigne enjoys eggs on avocado sourdough toast with pesto for breakfast. “Traditional sourdough undergoes a slow fermentation process, the result of which is an increase in the bioavailability of the bread’s vitamins and minerals,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “This process also starts the breakdown of protein (including gluten), making sourdough easier to digest. Research suggests that the fermentation process improves the bioavailability of fiber and minerals. This is because a naturally occurring compound found in grains, called phytic acid, is broken down and this enables us to access the grain’s nutrients more readily.”

3. Smoothie Bowls With Fresh Fruit

Gascoigne loves to put together beautifully-presented smoothie bowls with fresh, nutritious fruit like strawberries. “Strawberries have a low glycaemic index (GI) and as such help moderate blood sugar release,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “Studies suggest that a diet with plenty of low GI foods may be beneficial for weight management and for reducing the incidence of obesity-related diseases. Strawberries are also low in calories, yet sweet tasting so may be helpful as a sweet fix.”

4. She’s Had Body Image Struggles

Gascoigne has dealt with body image issues before but feels more calm and confident now. "I have body dysmorphia so I am never going to be entirely happy with the way that I look. It is in my nature to find fault with some aspect of my appearance,” she says. "But I am in the best shape of my life and I am as happy as I am ever going to be with my weight and body shape."

5. Home-Made Soup

Gascoigne loves to make seasonal dishes—for example, pumpkin soup in the fall. “Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which is really great for your vision and strengthening your immune system,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. “Pumpkin is high in potassium, which is a key ingredient for heart health. It contains just 50 calories per cup, and it’s filling, too."

Gisele Bündchen is flaunting her fabulous figure at 41 in V Magazine! The supermodel, who still looks like she is in her twenties, is steaming up the pages of the fashion magazine this month, modeling a cutout swimsuit. “Someone’s out of retirement,” commented hairstylist Harry Josh. “Major,” wrote another. How does the iconic poser keep herself looking forever young? Read on to see 6 ways Gisele 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. Follow the 80/20 Diet

Gisele and husband Tom Brady follow his TB12 method, which is basically an even healthier version of the traditional 80/20 diet. The majority of the time they eat organically grown fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. However, instead of eating whatever they want the other 20 percent, it consists mainly of grass-fed, organic, antibiotic- and hormone-free lean meats and wild-caught fish or seafood.

2. Meditate

Gisele regularly meditates. “Meditation has been an incredible gift in my life. Just 10 minutes of practice a day can change your day--and creating a regular meditation practice can change your life,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “It has transformed mine! If meditation is challenging for you, perhaps you can start off with a guided meditation, or with some nature sounds, or mantras. Whatever works best for you.”

3. Do Yoga

Gisele is a devoted yogi, regularly sharing photos of herself getting her zen on. “Many years ago, after going through one of the most difficult times in my life, I immersed myself in the very deep process of getting to know myself better,” she wrote on Instagram. She added that as a result of her practice, she “came out of that period stronger and happier, and knowing that no matter how difficult challenges appear in the moment, they always bring with them an opportunity for transformation.”

4. Eat Mostly Plants

Gisele’s diet is very plant focused. "At our house, we try to eat organic foods that are in season and locally grown," she told Marie Claire about diet of choice. "We believe that by buying locally, we'll have a better chance at getting foods that are fresh and also support local farmers. We eat mostly a plant-based diet."

5. Don’t Stop Moving

Gisele’s lifestyle is incredibly active. "I love any type of exercise that I can do outdoors; horseback riding, biking, and skiing are some of my favorite ways to stay active and connect with nature," she explained to Marie Claire. "Not only do these activities help me stay in shape, but they help in giving me clarity and perspective. Being active fuels my body, mind, and soul. It just makes me happy."

6. She Indulges On Occasion

Every once and awhile, Gisele does allow herself to indulge. “I’m not super strict and believe everything is OK in moderation,” she told Marie Claire. “My ultimate guilty pleasure is dark chocolate.” "Chocolate can be a part of a healthy diet. Like any food, the less processed it is, the better it is. In this case, more cocoa and less added fat and sugar allows us to increase our phytonutrient intake without empty calories. Add a little cocoa to your morning coffee, oatmeal, or smoothie. Enjoy a small piece of 60-70% dark chocolate," says the Mayo Clinic.
