The Filipino model shows off her famously fit figure in one of her latest social media posts, posing in a maroon swimsuit while enjoying some poolside time. “Let's look around and we must learn to appreciate what you have - before time appreciates you for what you have,” she captioned the Instagram post shared with her followers. How does the “Hippon Girl” maintain her beautiful physique? Read on to see 5 ways Herlene Budol 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 Focuses on Portion Control

How does Herlene keep her diet under control? She focuses on eating smaller portions "It's hard because we're used to eating a lot,” the beauty queen revealed to Pep.Ph. "So now, it's really under control, I'm really becoming a healthy-living life.”

2. She Stopped Eating So Much Rice

Rice is very popular in Asian cuisine. However, according to Herlene the starchy carb isn’t a great option for anyone who is trying to lose weight. "So it turns out that eating a lot of rice is not very healthy,” she told Pep.Ph. In fact, it was her diabetic mom who first taught her that nutrition lesson. "So shout-out to my mom, cut back on rice!"

3. She Exercises

Herlene also keeps her body fit and healthy with regular exercise – and not just to stay thin but to promote overall health. “I have to maintain myself,” she told Pep.Ph. “It's not because you're thin or chubby, you're healthy. So you still have to work hard.”

4. She Also Hydrates and Gets Enough Sleep

In addition to “proper diet” and “proper exercise,” Herlene also prioritizes rest and hydration, noting that “proper sleep and plenty of water” are key components to health. How much water should you drink? According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

5. She Eats More Vegetables and Less Meat

While Herlene doesn’t maintain a plant-based diet, she does have a rule when it comes to her meals. "I always eat more on vegetables and less meat," she told GMA Network. "There are many types of plant-based diets, but they all emphasize certain foods associated with heart benefits, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and healthy oils like olive oil. The diets that have been most studied for their impact on heart health include the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, and the MIND diet. These diets are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals that help lower blood pressure and LDL (bad) cholesterol, reduce the risk of diabetes, and help maintain a healthy weight, all of which can lower your risk of heart disease," says Harvard Health.

Filipino star Sheena Halili is determined not to let preconceived notions about motherhood keep her out of sexy swimsuits. The TV host posted a beautiful snap of herself wearing a black two-piece on the beach, looking happy and healthy. “People have been talking about what kind of swimsuits moms should wear and why is that? There shouldn't be a ‘one size fits all’ when you're dressing as a mom. As long as you're comfortable in it--no matter how much skin you're showing (or not!) you should go on and wear it! 😘,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Halili 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 Scuba Dives

Halili is a big fan of scuba diving, and practises as much as she can. “In addition to being a good cardio workout, scuba diving is a great way to build muscle strength and endurance,” says Scuba.com. “Swimming, especially against a current, forces divers to use muscles in their legs, core, and arms. This effort helps to build lean muscle mass and promote muscular endurance. This makes scuba diving a great way to increase strength without putting too much stress on your joints. And don’t forget about those tanks! Carrying scuba tanks and other gear is another way to improve upper body strength. Additionally, lifting tanks activates muscles in your arms, back, and core, making diving a true full body workout!”

2. She Always Makes Space For ‘Alone Time’

Halili takes ‘me-time’ coffee breaks whenever she can. “As a psychologist, I know the research, and the research is clear: Alone time is essential for emotional/mental/ spiritual/social/physical health, and a key element of true happiness,” says Dr. Christina Hibbert. “By ‘alone time’ what I really mean is time away from your role as a mother—time to be YOU, to unwind, relax, rest, revive. This can include taking a nap, sleeping in, reading, hiking, going out with a friend, doing a project or activity you enjoy, or anything that helps you feel like the real you and builds your health and strength. Some need more or less alone time, but all will benefit from a few minutes each day, hours each week, and/or days away each year.”

3. She Loves to Swim

Halili is an avid swimmer and loves spending time in the water. “Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people,” says the CDC. “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.”

4. She Uses a Flotation Pod

Halili loves using a flotation pod for relaxation and stress relief. “Healing our body makes us a better person, a better wife & a better mom! #gratitude 🧘 🏻‍♀,” she captioned an Instagram snap of herself using the device. “The flotation pod is a sensory deprivation chamber with water saturated with 360-540kgs of Epsom Salt (aka Magnesium sulfate) used to create buoyancy so you float effortlessly. Additionally, the water is heated to your body’s skin surface temperature, about 34°C. This treatment encourages the brain & body to rebalance itself without intervening external stressors. Floating triggers physiological relaxation, helps relieve physical stress like joint pains, and aches, reduces mental stress like anxiety, depression, lowers cortisol and blood pressure, aids in getting restful sleep, enhances creativity, and boosts overall disposition.”

5. She Loves Pilates

Halili is a big fan of Pilates, and continued practicing it throughout her pregnancy in 2020. “Oftentimes, people feel that their body has been compressed, tense, and tight beforehand but leave the studio feeling more loose and more aware of their body,” says Marina Kaydanova, founder of BK Pilates in New York City.

Amelia Hamlin is known for a few things—her acting, being the daughter of Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills—but she’s also known for her fit figure.

1. She Has This Message for Women

Screen Shot 2021-12-15 at 7.09.32 AMAmelia Hamlin/Instagram

"Today is #InternationalWomensDay, a day where we as women are celebrated," she captioned one clip. "We celebrate the power that being a woman comes with. The strength, the perseverance. We are reminded to be proud of our sexuality, to be proud of our bodies, and to challenge ourselves every day to love ourselves more and more."

"Some days confidence comes easier, sometimes it’s a challenge," she added, "but if we all make a commitment to lift each other up, it will come more often."

2. She Now Loves Herself

Screen Shot 2021-12-15 at 7.09.16 AMAmelia Hamlin/Instagram

"I struggled with an eating disorder when I was 14 and I'm so lucky that I came out of the other side of it," she said. "I learned so many amazing things from it that I honestly wouldn't take back." "I've never loved myself as much as I do now, which is so important. I think it's the most important quality any woman can have," she continued. "It's just self-love, self-respect, self-confidence and body positivity."

3. Her Mom is a Big Inspiration

Of mom Lisa Rinna, Hamlin says: "She taught me how to love myself, how to unapologetically be myself, how to make fun of myself, and self-deprecate myself in amazing ways that actually ended up helping me with my confidence, and not take myself too seriously," she explained. "I think that's a really big key to life."

4. She’s Into Yoga Gear

Screen Shot 2021-12-15 at 7.09.09 AMAmelia Hamlin/Instagram

Hamlin has sported the Alo clothing, a yoga brand. “Practicing slow, controlled breathing stimulates the body's vagus nerve, which takes information about the current state of relaxation and relays it to the rest of the body, including the brain. One area affected when the vagal nerve is stimulated is the parasympathic nervous system, which controls the body's rest and digestion functions. The mindful breathing practiced in yoga increases the activity of the parasympathic nervous system. As a result, yoga lowers the heart rate, improves digestion and quality of sleep, and strengthens the immune system. Another benefit is an improved stress level,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Hits the Gym

Screen Shot 2021-12-15 at 7.09.01 AMAmelia Hamlin/Instagram

Hamlin is frequently photographed leaving a gym. “The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults include aerobic activity and strength training in their fitness plans, specifically,” says the Mayo Clinic:

  • At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity
  • Strength training exercises of all the major muscle groups at least twice a week.”

Mernes opened up about her wellness routine in an interview. She says that she lives a pretty active life. “If I am skinnier it is because I am a thousand. But like everything, I eat well. The people around me know that I eat, it's not that I'm skinny, it's because I'm active, I dance a lot, I rehearse a lot, I'm doing things every day and I don't train, I should. Now I'm going to start swimming, but well the thing is that I never have a day off.”

3. She Speaks Out About Beauty Standards

In the same interview, Mernes opened up about her past insecurities and spoke out about unfair beauty standards. “I didn't wear muscle or short sleeves because I said 'I have fatter arms' and people are going to judge me for that. I mean, imagine how my head was, really bad. And well, I had a really bad time at that moment and then I understood that it is not like that and that nothing is wrong. But you know what happens? It's that people put me in that place of the Argentine woman, that you have to fulfill a stereotype, that you have to wear these clothes, that you have to say or do this. And she broke my head that she felt that she had to comply with things that society imposes on her that are stupid.”

4. She Admires Mega-Powerful Women

She grew up admiring Thalia, Rihanna and Beyoncé. “I would watch them on TV and I couldn’t believe it. I’d say: ‘I hope one day I can see myself like them!’ Because whenever I listened to them, they instilled a message of power and confidence in me,” she told Billboard.

5. She Benefits From Sun Exposure

"One of the best (and easiest) ways to get vitamin D is by being outside. Our bodies produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight—about 15 minutes in the sun a day is adequate if you’re fair skinned. And since Vitamin D helps your body maintain calcium and prevents brittle, thin, or misshapen bones, soaking in sun may be just what the doctor ordered," says Select Health.

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"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.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

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

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.

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.
