Miller spends a lot of time outside, and loves to get fresh air and time in the sunshine. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself enjoying time outdoors. Spending time outside doesn’t just help our bodies, it can also help relax us and help with our mental health. According to UNC Health Talk, “Walking has been proven effective in reducing anxiety and depression, and there is further evidence that walking in nature improves those results even further. That’s because different parts of our brain activate in nature. Our mind calms, leading to physical changes including a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure.”

4. She Loves Hot Tubs

In addition to the pool and the ocean, Miller loves to spend time in a hot tub or jacuzzi. She posted this stunning photo on Instagram, captioning it, “On Sundays we hot tub.” Hot tubs aren’t just a great way to relax, they can also help you recover from pain or injuries. According to a study from Myra.org, “​​Soaking in warm water often can help reduce your pain and stiffness and the benefits. There are many reasons soaking in warm water works. It reduces the force of gravity that’s compressing your joint. Water offers 360-degree support for sore limbs, can decrease swelling and inflammation and increase circulation.”

5. She Once Went Cliff Diving

So mysterious.” She also shared this video of herself swimming in the same pool, captioning it, “Lost in Lombok Island.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

The sun's rays provide ultraviolet B (UVB) energy, and the skin uses it to start making vitamin D. (The skin actually produces a precursor that is converted into the active form of the vitamin by the liver and kidneys.) Vitamin D is best known for its vital role in bone health. Without this "sunshine vitamin," the body can't absorb the calcium it ingests, so it steals calcium from bones, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Vitamin D also helps maintain normal blood levels of phosphorus, another bone-building mineral," says Harvard Health.

5. She Hits the Beach

"The healing benefits of being in nature have been expressed by many different cultures, poets, and healers throughout the ages. Research confirms the amazing healing effects of nature on our emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. Even viewing images of nature scenes has benefits," says the Mayo Clinic. "Being in nature reduces your heart rate, blood pressure, and the production of stress hormones and makes you feel better emotionally. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology showed that 20-minutes of walking or sitting in nature without any distractions of digital devices, provided the most reduction in stress."

Greta Onieogou is best known for her role on the hit CW series, All American. She’s unafraid to show off her body on social media. Onieogou took a trip to Calamigos recently, and made sure to post highlights on Instagram. In them, she wore a green dress and a black swimsuit, looking stunning. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Greta Onieogou stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Swims

As you can tell from her recent post, Onieogou likes to go to the beach. Naturally, one of the things she does to stay in shape is going swimming. In this set of photos that she posted on Instagram, Onieogou is seen in the ocean. She captioned it, “What’s your sign? Imma Pisces.” Also, in these photos she posted from Hanalei Bay, Onieogou is seen floating in a pool.

2. She Hikes

Los,Angeles,-,Dec,15:,Greta,Onieogou,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Onieogou spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is going on hikes. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking in Joshua Tree. The Cleveland Clinic states that hiking has many benefits, including improving your balance. “Just think of what the ground typically looks like on a hike — hills, dirt, mud, rocks and roots of trees that create an uneven terrain. When you’re navigating the outdoors, you’re able to adjust to those changes in your balance.”

3. She Spends Time With Her Dog

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,04:,Greta,Onieogou,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Onieogou has an adorable dog named Billie, who is prominently featured on her Instagram. News In Health states that having any type of pet has a lot of benefits. “Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood.”

4. She Likes a Hot Tub

Immersing yourself in a hot tub offers a multitude of mood-enhancing benefits. The warm water and soothing jets create a tranquil environment, promoting relaxation and stress reduction. As your body absorbs the heat, blood circulation improves, aiding muscle relaxation and releasing tension. This hydrotherapy experience prompts the brain to release endorphins, natural mood elevators that alleviate anxiety and uplift spirits. The hot tub's calming ambiance also provides a space for mindfulness and unwinding, leading to better sleep quality and overall mental well-being. Whether alone or with friends, indulging in a hot tub offers a therapeutic escape from daily stressors, fostering a positive and rejuvenated mood.

5. She Gets Her Sunshine

The sun has a remarkable impact on our mood due to its ability to stimulate the production of serotonin, often referred to as the "feel-good" hormone. When sunlight touches our skin, it triggers the brain to release more serotonin, promoting feelings of happiness and well-being. Moreover, exposure to sunlight helps regulate our internal body clock, enhancing sleep patterns and energy levels. The sunlit environment also encourages outdoor activities and social interactions, which further contribute to a positive mood. Thus, basking in the sun not only provides physical warmth but also nurtures our mental and emotional health, fostering a brighter outlook on life.

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
