It’s a great feeling to know that my career is still here waiting for me, my friends are all supporting me and of course my love @therealtarekelmoussa has been so amazing in taking care of me and helping me rest 💕 If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this whole experience so far, it’s that sometimes… what feels like a challenge is actually an opportunity to learn, grow and become a better version of me!” What other ways does the reality star prioritize her health?

1. Stay Active

In addition to exercising, Heather stays fit via outdoor activities. “I had a national forest as my backyard. How many people can say that? I would hike down to the creek and swim, go sledding in the winter, and I had a handful of ski resorts to choose from. It might sound dorky, but I love skiing,” she told Super Street.

2. Fall in Love with Fitness

One of Heather’s tricks to getting herself to exercise? She actually enjoys it. “I'm really into fitness and running—I love kickboxing and dancing,” she told Super Street. “For big health benefits, aim for these numbers: 2.5 to 5 hours of moderate aerobic activity, or 75-150 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity every week. Want to do more than that? You'll get more health benefits. Try to spread this activity throughout the week,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. Make Exercise a Daily Job

Heather tries to get in exercise seven days a week, spreading out her workouts to maintain variety. “Fitness makes me so happy,” she added to Women Fitness. “I never look at it like….ugh I have to workout today. I get excited to do it. Right now I do a strength training HIIT class 3-4 times a week. And on the days in between I run 3-4 miles.”

4. Make Your Own Food

Heather prepares her own meals, even when she is working. “I always pack my own food since I am vegan and I always workout no matter what,” she told Women Fitness. “Lunch is usually quinoa salad or veggie salad. I snack in between on nuts or a vegan protein bar (which has little ingredients) And I drink tea in between meals. No coffee, I actually have never tried a cup. I do have a sweet tooth though, so I choose to not even have sugar because once I start i can’t stop.” She also loves protein smoothies.

5. Take Supplements

Heather is a big fan of supplements, to ensure she gets all the nutrition she needs. “I take fish oil and vitamins daily,” she told Women Health. You too should consider taking a fatty acid supplement, per the Mayo Clinic. “Omega-3 fatty acids are derived from food. They can't be manufactured in the body. Fish oil contains two omega-3s called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Dietary sources of DHA and EPA are fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel and trout, and shellfish, such as mussels, oysters and crabs. Some nuts, seeds and vegetable oils contain another omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),” they say.

Frazer opened up about life after her divorce in an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. She says that she is now living life on her own terms. “Now I’m on OnlyFans, I’m single, I’m on the cover of Maxim - it’s the complete opposite. I think it’s the path that I was meant to be on and I’m where I’m meant to be. Every day I wake up and I'm just so happy with my life.”

2. She’s Taking Care Of Her Mental Health

Creed III Sydney PremiereMark Metcalfe/Getty Images

Frazer tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she has started taking care of her mental health. “I still feel like there's a little bit of fine-tuning to do with my mental health, but it's the best it's been since I want to say even before MAFS started filming,” she remarks. “I'm just excited to wake up every day, which I haven’t felt for two years. Obviously the filming process was hard and then what we went through during filming was awful. And then Jackson and I, it was the wrong relationship. So being in a relationship that's not working as well as all this other stuff just really took a toll. So I think getting out of all of it, I made a very conscious choice a few months ago to just stop talking about all the drama and all the bad stuff... Unless I’m asked a direct question, I just don’t interact with it or take the bait or anything like that, and it's just serving me really well.”

4. She Defends Herself

Frazer has had to defend herself due to being seen as a reality TV villain. She recently clapped back when a photo of her was taken without her consent. “I was spotted applying for a casual job at a makeup store. Absolutely disgusting because a photo was taken of me in my job interview that I did not know was being taken. It’s a huge disgusting invasion of privacy.”

5. She Swims

Frazer spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. Frazer posted this set of photos of herself in Bali. In the first photo, she is seen taking a dip in a pool. She captioned the post, “Bali.

Holly Scarfone of the Netflix hit Too Hot to Handle lives up to the show’s name, making waves on social media and in the tabloids. (She was rumored to be dating Scott Disick.) She’s known for her toned figure, and frequently hits pool and beaches to show it off. She posed just now in a swimsuit and captioned it, "summer games." How does she stay so fit, and what's her take on being on the show? Read on to see 5 ways Holly Scarfone 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 Likes to Push Her Boundaries

When they reached out to her to be on the show initially, “I had no idea that it was Too Hot to Handle,” she says on her YouTube channel. “But the second that I saw Lana”—the show’s virtual assistant—“I knew, I just knew and first thought in my head was you have got to be kidding me. It's actually really crazy how you can like trick a group of what, like 10 to 14 people, to come out to shoot a show and then it turns out being something completely different. The fact that that's even legal is super cool. But I'm really happy that I caught the experience. It really was a journey. Like people just go on and think, oh, it's a TV show, but people forget at the end of the day, it's about self progression. We did a ton of workshops and we were pushed to the brink every day, pushing our boundaries and trying to progress ourselves as people.”

2. Yes, She Ate Well During Too Hot to Handle

“I get this question so much. I don't know why everyone's concerned about what we were eating or if we ate on Too Hot to Handle—the answer is yes, we did not not eat for a month and a half. In fact, we had a plethora of food. I was eating so much and we could have as many plates as we want. We had an open buffet, not to mention, we had a really amazing chef. I think the chef was Rihanna's chef. So we had the best food. And you would think that we were like eating salads and stuff, but like we had a lot of like pizza and like french fries and every day was a pizza party,” she said on YouTube. “So we definitely had a fun time eating. One of my favorite moments in filming was just like being in the dining room and sitting with people and we were always testing our mics. And so like, we'd have to go around and be like, testing wait to count to 10. And we'd all, you know, be around the table, singing and eating and like joking. But yes, we definitely did eat.”

3. She is Introspective

Filming the show: “It really was an intense month and a half….And even down to like the second that I started filming up until now, it's still changing my life. Of course when we were in there, we were doing workshops and personally I was struggling with the dynamic of building a relationship with myself and someone else. And then also balancing that with building a relationship with the group as a collective. And that was a complex thing for me for a while. It took me a while to really get the hang of it. But that's the whole essence of the show is just getting to know yourself on a deeper level and really challenging certain aspects and departments of yourselves that really need attention.”

4. She Likes it Out on the Water

Holly has shared an image of herself on a paddleboard in a river. “Can’t fake a smile it’s hard to wear,” she captioned it. Water-based exercises can be great for you. “Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections,” says the CDC.

5. She Has a Sweet Tooth

“Who needs a man, when Ferrell's doughnuts can satisfy you x1000000000,” she once said. Enjoy once in a while but we’re sure Holly knows that “eating too many foods with added sugars sets the stage for potential health problems, such as:

  • Poor nutrition. If you choose sugar-laden foods instead of more nutritious foods, you miss out on important nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
  • Weight gain. There's no single cause for being overweight or obese. But added sugar might contribute to the problem. It's easy to get extra calories when eating foods that are sugar sweetened,” says the Mayo Clinic.

In this set of Instagram posts, Hart opened up about her journey to self-acceptance. She says that she is learning to love all photos of herself. “So obviously as an apparent influencer I have to take pictures and post them, easy yeah? Not for me. I hate all pictures of myself and then I get upset and then Sam gets upset coz I’m upset and it’s just one big circle. Today he had an idea to get up early, bring a few swimsuits down to the beach, shoot all of them and then be able to relax and not worry. Now obviously Sam used to be a model (ALDI hot cross bun man 2016 don’t you know) so he had gone full out creative director. Went on a location scout around yesterday, researched the geo tags on insta, found some poses on Google and then coached me through it all (whilst being my main hype man) and I don’t actually hate these pics!”

2. She Decided To Walk Off Reality TV

Hart notably walked off her season of Love Island. She opened up about her decision to Glamour. “It was 100% the best decision for me to leave when I did. If I had left before or after it would have been horrible but I left on good terms with everyone. Now I’m home, trying to heal and enjoying this weird new life I’ve got. I went in there to find love, I found it, it went horrendously wrong and I didn’t want to find love again so I needed to come out.”

3. She Ignores The Haters

Hart has been subjected to harsh online trolling over the years. She tells Glamour that while this used to affect her, it doesn’t anymore. “I’m not interested in knowing what was said about me,” she says. “I’ve now got so much positivity. I read it, I laugh, I block it.”

4. She Rock Climbs

There’s a donate button on my story if you fancy giving a few quid to this amazing charity!!”

In this Instagram post, Hart opened up about how her outlook on her health has changed over the years. She says that she has a more positive approach to eating now. “Before I would use exercise and healthy eating as a ‘punishment’ because my legs were too big or my stomach wasn’t toned enough. Now I see it as a reward."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. 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. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming.

She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight.

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
