India Reynolds is having some major music festival FOMO.

How does the Love Island star maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 5 ways India Reynolds 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 Vegan

India-ReynoldsIndia Reynolds/Instagram

India maintains a vegan diet. “I only became vegan because I was seeing someone who was vegan, and that was two and a half years ago now,” she told Grazia. “At first, I wasn’t really into the idea at all. I used to love red steak, and think a meal was only a meal if it had meat in it - if not, I was like, 'No, this isn’t a proper meal!' But he recommended that I watch documentaries, like Vegucated, and they really changed my mind. I thought to myself, 'how can I continue eating meat?' and within two weeks, I was completely vegan - even though I’d only been seeing him for two months. Crazy, stupid love - me! We were only together for another six months after that.”

2. She Doesn’t Diet

You won’t find India on a strict diet. “Since becoming vegan, I’ve been eating more - which is always a bonus. I used to diet a lot, and I struggled for years with that. But with being vegan, I find I make healthier choices. Even though the food you eat is more restricted, you’re not on a diet to lose weight and for me, that’s really helped my relationship with food,” she told Grazia. “It’s been so much better for my mental health. Having a healthy lifestyle is amazing, but dieting is horrible. I became vegan for ethical and environmental reasons, but I definitely realised the health benefits afterwards.”

3. She Cooks Her Own Food

India makes her own meals, which helps control how healthy her food intake is. “I love cooking things like mac’n’cheese and no chicken pie. Personally, I try not to use meat supplements: I just use more veg, but I think if you’re transitioning into veganism then they’re really good. If you’re cooking something where you would normally use meat, then you can just use Quorn - and that makes it a lot easier,” she told Grazia.

4. She Is Active Outdoors

India maintains a healthy lifestyle. She enjoys walking, hiking, and biking. “Bike up your life,” she captioned this image during one of her rides. “Survey after survey says that the happiest commuters are bike commuters,” Ken McLeod, policy director for the League of American Bicyclists, tells Consumer Reports. “You’ll notice a new shop that’s opened, a new place to eat—it’s a really fun way to get to know your community." The site adds: "Taking steps to increase the popularity of cycling is worth the effort, says Jason Gill, Ph.D., a professor of cardiometabolic health at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. In places that have made cycling easier and safer, Gill says, there have been dramatic improvements to human health and major cost savings in healthcare."

5. She Plays Tennis

Another way India likes to stay in shape? Racquet sports. She enjoys a game of tennis in this photo. “Anyone for tennis?” she captioned it. "The beauty of tennis is it’s a sport you can enjoy throughout your entire life — and one that’s even been found to extend your life expectancy by nearly 10 years. It’s a great choice for boosting mental and physical development in growing kids (Serena Williams started at age three!), and equally beneficial as a social outlet for seniors looking to stay fit and sharp," says Columbia Association.

Catherine Harding is taking the cold plunge in her swimsuit. The singer shows off her incredible figure in a bathing suit (and tolerance for ice-cold water) in one of her latest social media posts. “Breathe and try and relax,” she says in one of the Instagram Stories shared devoted to her cold therapy treatment. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Is Real About Her Body

Catherine doesn’t believe in pretending that her body is perfect. “I woke up today and thought I want to be a bit more real on here.. so I took these photos,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I train almost everyday and am careful of what I eat, I’m aware this isn’t very bad or “poor me” etc but I’m just showing i have loose skin after 2 kids that is wrinkly and crepey and yes sometimes it bothers me because it isn’t the Instagram version of “perfection” I am always seeing. I am my biggest critic and can be super harsh on myself always thinking of trying to be perfect, I’ve struggled with a weight complex my whole life but As I’m getting older I’m becoming more aware that if I as a fully grown adult woman can be so impacted by the Instagram version of perfection how will our young daughters be ? What pressure will they feel? I think it’s important to not let the idea of perfection be confused with being the best version of yourself. I’ve personally struggled with this a lot but am learning to accept myself more. I grew two beautiful children inside that stomach and yes it’s crepey and wrinkled when I squash it together 😂 but so what? It’s real life ✌️ Just thinking let’s try embrace our flaws more and accept ourselves fully.”

2. She Does Pilates

Catherine’s favorite workout is pilates. “Keep moving, keep stretching 🙆‍♀️ Back in my happy place,” she captioned an Instagram post of herself on her reformer. In another post she thanks her pilates instructor, Holly Bramley for helping her “stay toned, flexible and strong,” she writes. “Your classes are so challenging I love it!”

3. She Does Yoga

Catherine also does yoga. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. She Soaks in Hot Water

Catherine enjoys soaking in hot water, in a jacuzzi or bathtub. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

5. She Does Cold Plunges

In her latest post, Catherine reveals that she “is on a real health kick at the moment trying new things and just posting this to be accountable.” In the photo she sits in a freezing cold bathtub for four minutes. “It feels good,” she gushes after getting out. “Such a weird sensation that comes all over your entire body."

1. She Dances

Pandey starred in a film that required her to learn choreography. She tells Urban Asian that all this dancing helped her get in shape. “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film. Which required immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss. So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that’s a lot of cardio which helped me a lot.”

2. She’s Confident

Pandey says that she is confident in herself and with her body. “I have always been confident of my physique,” she told Urban Asian. “I never really paid attention to what people were saying about it. I loved whichever phase. I was in physically and never really put pressure on myself to be a certain body type.”

3. She Grew Up Athletic

Pandey tells Urban Asian that she grew up playing a lot of sports, which has helped her stay in shape now. “I was always into sports. I started swimming since the 5th standard. I was into a lot of sports actually like badminton and volleyball and others. I was quite an outdoor kind of a kid. So yes, I have been a fitness freak since ever.”

4. She Swims

Pandey loves to go swimming. And she always brings a buddy with her. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself and her dog in the pool together. Pandey captioned the reel, “That’s my girl.”

5. She Has A Dog

Pandey has an adorable golden retriever, who is featured on her Instagram. Having a dog has a lot of benefits. According to Harvard Health, “Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk. Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”

Olivia O’Brien, the singer behind Was It Even Real?, is known for the amazing voice and her devil may care attitude. The latter was on display on social media yesterday; O’Brien just posted a new set of bathing suit shots today from her vacation to Mexico. She captioned the post, “I don’t need to tell u, u already know.” "Yeah," she captioned another, dangling from a pole. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Olivia O’Brien 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 Channels Her Negativity Into Music

O’Brien, like many other songwriters, likes to draw from her personal experiences to write songs. She tells Cosmopolitan that she would channel her negative experiences into lyrics. “I used to write pretty much only about when I was sad and when I was going through something that was really hard for me,” she said.

2. She Has A Lot Of Support

In an interview with OnesToWatch.com, O’Brien talked about how she achieved fame. She says that she’s lucky to be on a good label and have a lot of supportive people around her. “I think if I didn't have my label and those people helping me, I would literally still be living in Napa and wouldn't be doing music. Because ‘i hate u, i love u’ was the only song that I released.”

3. She Pushed Herself

O’Brien tells OnesToWatch.com that she really pushed herself when it comes to her career. She says that this helped with her success. “If I hadn't got on it, and told myself, ‘I want to do this now,’ I wouldn't be anywhere, and that song would've just came and passed. I would've just been left behind. So I'm happy that I had the initiative and went for it.”

4. She Moved Past The Bullying

Rihanna's 5th Annual Diamond BallTaylor Hill/WireImage

O’Brien is open about the amount of bullying she faced when she was young. However, she tells OnesToWatch.com that she has moved past it, as she knows more important things are ahead. “Even though it's really impossible, you have to realize that high school and elementary school, middle school, whatever… in the end, you're going to be past that and have a completely separate life from that. Yeah, growing up is important and the memories you make are important, but the people that are mean probably aren't really going to go anywhere in life - because they're mean and there's obviously something going on with themselves. So you just have to remember that. Remember that one day you'll be 35 and think, 'Wow, I can't believe I ever let those dumb people affect my life.'"

5. She Swims

O’Brien loves to spend time in the water. She has posted several photos and videos on Instagram of herself enjoying time at the beach and going for a swim. She posted this video on Instagram of herself enjoying a pool day while on her Mexico vacation. O’Brien captioned the video, “What happens in slayulita, slays in slayulita.”

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is "More Motivated Than Ever"

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
