She captioned it, “Unreal…Who do you want to be here with?” She also posted this photo series of herself in Ios, Greece, including a photo of herself in the ocean.

2. She Plays Sports

Mittenaere loves to play sports. “I practice a lot of sport,” she tells Cosmopolitan. “I try to do it about twice a week. When you have a very busy schedule, it's good to be able to take breaks where you find yourself a little alone with yourself, even if I like to play sports with a coach. It makes me feel good, and since I represent Miss Universe, the Miss Universe brand, it's important to have a firm and toned body, and I try to have it.”

3. She Works Out Regularly

Mittenaere revealed her diet and exercise secrets to People. She says that she makes sure to exercise as often as she can. “I try to go twice a week, sometimes three times,” she says. “I have a [trainer] so he helps show me what I have to do to work out the body part I want to work, and if I’m on my own, I run and I do ab [exercises] and a lot of squats!”

4. She Watches Workout Videos

Mittenaere is consistent with her workouts. Even when she’s on the road. She tells People that she likes to watch fitness videos in her hotel. “When I travel, I try to work out before I go to bed,” she says. “I’ll do 10 minutes of abs one day and 10 minutes of butt the next day. There’s a lot of videos on YouTube, and I use 10 minutes to do one part of my body.”

5. She Cooks

Mittenare makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She tells People that one of her secrets is cooking a lot of her meals. “I love food,” she says. “The most important thing is I cook, so I can choose what I want to add, and not use a lot of salt and things like that. I don’t have a diet, but I try to eat a lot during breakfast and lunch and not a lot for dinner.”

1. She Works Out 2 to 3 Times a Week

Iris hits the gym regularly. “I try to go twice a week, sometimes three times,” she told People. “I have a [trainer] so he helps show me what I have to do to work out the body part I want to work, and if I’m on my own, I run and I do ab [exercises] and a lot of squats!”

Her favorite exercises? Planks and crunches. Her go-to workout might include planking for one minute, side planking on each side for another, doing crunches for an entire song length, and then lots of squats. “When I travel, I try to work out before I go to bed,” she told People. “I’ll do 10 minutes of abs one day and 10 minutes of butt the next day. There’s a lot of videos on YouTube, and I use 10 minutes to do one part of my body.”

3. Music Motivates Her

One thing you will always find at one of Iris’ workouts? Music. “It’s my motivation,” she said about why she has to listen to tunes while exercising. A chorus can be a motivator also. "Research shows that the brain benefits from the cognitive activity and exercise, social interaction, and sense of meaning and purpose that creative activities such as singing in a chorus provide. Specifically, we encourage those living with MCI to engage in mental activities that challenge you to think a little faster and that are new in some way," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Cooks Her Own Food

“I love food,” Iris admits to People. How does she ensure healthy eating? “The most important thing is I cook, so I can choose what I want to add, and not use a lot of salt and things like that. I don’t have a diet, but I try to eat a lot during breakfast and lunch and not a lot for dinner.”

5. Her Diet Is Healthy

“My typical breakfast is oats with milk and banana,” Iris told People. “If I have time I cook some eggs, but I eat only the whites. For lunch, I like doing pasta with tomatoes, avocado and chicken. I try to eat a lot of protein. For dinner I’ll have soup with bread.”

6. She Walks

Another trick Mittenaere has to stay in shape? She walks whenever she can. “And don’t use the elevator — use the stairs!” She also maintains a very active lifestyle, sharing photos of her outdoor adventures on social media.

Former Below Deck star Georgia Rose has transformed her physique since leaving the show—and it’s clear all her hard work is paying off. The model posted a cheeky picture of herself looking gorgeous in black bikini bottoms (holding a hat to protect her modesty). “When we had our own little treehouse above our own little private beach 🌿🌞🌊 @georgianatalie_ Missing you G x,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Rose 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 Goes Hard At the Gym

Rose is incredibly focused while at the gym, and posted a video of herself doing cardio and strength training to show what her routine looks like. “❗️Turn your pain into power❗️@grapefitt getting me get back ontop 📍 @hustlefitstudio #fitness #workout #thecomeback #workout #hustle.”

2. She Practices Moderation

Rose lost weight after leaving Below Deck by watching her portions and focusing on a healthy lifestyle. “Since I went on @belowdecksailing I’ve gotten a lot healthier, I’ve actually lost a wild 9kgs (almost 20 pounds),” she says. “Not through some drastic diet or anything, just watching my portions and what I eat, working out, partying less (thanks to lockdown).” Portion control has been shown to be effective for healthy weight loss—but it's not always easy. “Large portions make you eat more. If I could teach just one thing about nutrition, it would be this: Larger portions have more calories. Funny? Portion size is anything but obvious,” says Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at NYU. “Research repeatedly confirms that larger food servings not only provide more calories but also have two other effects. They encourage people to eat more and to underestimate how much they are eating. How to deal with the portion size problem? Use small plates and cups in the dining hall. When eating out, order appetizers, not entrees. Order the small size, or share large portions with friends.”

3. Nothing Is Off-Limits

Rose works hard and is disciplined about her fitness—but still allows herself treats and cheat meals. “This is the happiest and healthiest I’ve felt in a long time- I still eat a lot of Nandos, always order dessert, and I can’t run a 5km (yet) but I’ve still come a long way, so yeah,” Rose says. “Having a regularly scheduled cheat day each week can actually be good for weight loss by preventing binges, reducing cravings, providing a mental break from dieting, and boosting metabolism—if it’s done in a healthy way,” says Carolyn Williams, PhD, RD. “By healthy way, I mean using it as a day when you give yourself a break from measuring every portion and counting calories and allowing yourself a little leeway to enjoy a favorite food or two. You still consume plenty of water, and try to get fruits and vegetables in, but in a more relaxed way. What’s not considered healthy (or good for weight loss) is to use a cheat day as a time when you go to extremes with eating or binges.”

4. She Gets Botox

Rose is open about using Botox to keep wrinkles at bay. "Remember when Botox was a taboo subject? Now when someone mentions it, nobody raises an eyebrow 😉 Dr Dominique at @skinrenewalcapequarter doing what she does best ❤️🙏 #itstime #preventativecare #selfcare #botox #skinrenewalsa #skinrenewalcapequarter,” she captioned a video of herself getting Botox injected above her eyebrows.

5. She Loves to Kayak

Rose says Kayaking is “One of the best ways to clear your head (especially if you fall in the freezing Cape Town water).” “For people who just run and cycle, they tend to not have a lot of muscle mass in the upper body,” says Dr. François Billaut, an exercise physiology professor at Laval University in Quebec and the former head physiologist for the Canadian national kayaking team. “Kayaking offers a balance.”

6. She Enjoys Gelato

Rose is a big fan of delicious gelato. “When buying single-serve frozen treats, choose one with no more than 150 calories per serving, then stick to one serving,” says Anna Taylor, MS, RD, LD, CDE. “If you’re comparing items pick the one lowest in saturated fat and sugar.”

Emma Slater is in Antibes enjoying a lovely family vacation. The Dancing With the Stars champ posted a photo of herself in a bright patterned bikini top with the caption, “FRANCE 🇫🇷 avec ma famille. I love my family, my heart is full seeing them. How cute are my parents on slide 3 🥹,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Slater 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 Enjoys Yoga and Barre

Slater’s favorite workout is—of course—dancing, but she likes to branch out into other exercises. “I love Yoga barre type workouts too,” she tells Witney Carson. “They lengthen my calves! Uphill walking and hiking I do a fair bit of, music is the one thing I must have to work out because then it’s more like meditation for me rather than just working out. I couldn’t do it without music. Lately my partner Rashad has been going through NFL warm ups with me before rehearsal and I LOVE them!”

2. She Loves Fish and Salad

Healthy eating isn’t a struggle for Slater—she loves protein-filled salads. “Honestly, I’m a salad and fish person,” she says. “I will eat just a basic leafy salad with an Asian dressing. I also like raw veggies with hummus, but not celery because I hate the aftertaste! I do mostly smoothies though during the season. Almond milk, banana, kale, spirulina, apple and plant based protein.”

3. Popcorn Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Slater loves to indulge in popcorn once in a while. “Popcorn! Movie style. Gosh there’s nothing better than seeing a great film with [husband] Sash or the girls, and having a massive tub of popcorn on your lap,” she says. “Even if the film is bad, I’m still really happy! I get the popcorn, Sash gets the peanut M&Ms. Everyone’s happy.”

4. She Loves Breakfast

Slater loves a leisurely breakfast first-thing on her days off. “Wake up on a day off, quickly shower and get out the house straightaway,” she describes her perfect “date”. “Get in the car and drive to our local breakfast spot, Food Lab! It might seem boring to always go there but it feels so relaxing because it’s quite European so feels like home.”

5. She Thrives on Adventure

Slater enjoys trying new things and exploring whenever she gets the chance. “I like being adventurous and spontaneous. I enjoy the little things so I don’t need an over the top fancy date with lots of bells and whistles for me to be really into the guy,” she says. “I’m not flashy so an extreme lavish lifestyle would get boring to me after a while if I wasn’t also able to take time for the little things in life, because that’s where I believe raw beauty is. And now I’ve found my forever guy, we are always so aware that our perfect date can be everyday because of the little things we do together.”
