1. She Attributes Her Flat Abs to Diet

Iggy’s abs aren’t just flat—she has a six pack. During an Instagram Q&A, she revealed that her abfab secret is more about what she eats than doing crunches. “For me, diet is what does the trick,” she said. “ When I eat pretty basic, clean. Whole fruits (foods), meat and vegetables, that's when my abs start to show more.”

2. She Accidentally Lost 20 Pounds After Having a Baby

After welcoming her first child, Iggy claims she accidentally lost a whopping amount of weight. “Any other moms who can’t stop dropping weight after having a baby? (Not a brag, genuinely wanna hear if you had this happen)” she wrote on social media. “I don’t try/want to lose weight but it’s literally just shedding off me, is it hormonal? Should I be concerned? 20lbs lighter than pre baby and counting.”

3. She Lost 15 Pounds Twerking

During an interview with Nova 96.9, Iggy claimed she also lost a lot of weight twerking during rehearsals for her "Mo Bounce” video. "It's a lot-I went on a meal plan before the video because I knew I would have to be dancing fairly skimpily dressed," she explained. "I did a lot of rehearsals actually, and man I lost 15 pounds in a week dancing to that song!"

4. She Stays Away From Processed Foods

In 2018, a source close to the rapper told Hollywood Life that the singer stays away from unhealthy food, especially when she is trying to lose weight, removing processed foods from her diet and carbs and sweets.

5. She Has Cheat Days

"Iggy has been very committed to fitness and healthy eating, but she still has cheat days and allows herself to indulge once in a while,” the source added to Hollywood Life. “She isn't too hard on herself and knows that splurging once in a while keeps her motivated in the long run."

6. She Has Struggled with Self-Confidence

In 2015 Iggy admitted to Australia's Today Show that she has struggled with self-love. "Some days I just think I want to crawl in my cave and I don't feel confident at all, and other days I feel great," she said. "I think it's like that for all human beings, not just young women ... I think maybe feeling confident or 100% every day is something to aspire to, but I don't know if it's humanly possible for anybody."

7. She Works Out Hard

Obviously, Iggy’s fit figure is also a result of rigorous workouts. “Iggy also follows a strict workout regimen which includes hitting the gym several days a week. She loves cardio to keep her waist slim, and lunges and squats to keep a bangin’ booty,” the source told Hollywood Life.

According to the MD Anderson Center at the University of Texas, “Plants have essential nutrients that you cannot get from other foods. The vitamins and minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants in plants help keep your cells healthy and your body in balance so that your immune system can function at its best.”

Miller loves to go to the pool and to the beach, specifically to go for a swim. She has posted several photos and videos on Instagram of herself enjoying a dip in the water. Swimming and spending time in the water is a great way to stay active. BetterHealth.gov says, “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water.”

3. She Gets Outside

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

Miller is up for trying new things, and is up for a good adrenaline rush. She previously has gone cliff diving. Activities like that give your body a natural rush of adrenaline, which can help you get through your day. Also, doing something scary like that can help you conquer other things in your personal life.

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

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.

2. She Skis

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

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.
