How does the artist keep herself so fit? Read on to see 5 of Jade Thirlwall’s top tips for staying 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. Find a Workout Buddy

Jade explained to Cosmopolitan that she doesn’t like to exercise alone. "What motivates me? I can't go [to the gym] by myself. One because I get embarrassed because I don't know how anything works, but two because it's really hard to motivate yourself. I go with my brother or my boyfriend because you want to be better than them - it gets competitive."

2. Listen to the Right Music

Jade maintains that listening to the right music can pump you up for exercise. Her favorites are "power anthems [and] Little Mix,” she said. “I listen to Scooter and Cascada, it gets you proper pumped. It really makes you wanna move.”

3. Get a Workout In

According to fellow Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock, the girls stay in shape by dancing while on the road. "We dance a lot, so that's our main exercise.” However, they also “try to go to the gym as much as we can,” she added. “I tend to go in hard when I know I'm going on holiday and I've got to get my body out. Three times a week, but I'm gonna have to go in [this time] because I haven't trained for six months. It's ridiculous. I'm off the bandwagon." Jade added she also does exercises in her hotel room. "If I don't go to the gym I try to do squats and sit ups before I go to bed,” she said.

4. Shout at Yourself

Jade has a unique way of motivating herself during workouts. “I shout names at myself. I'll be like 'Jessica Alba', 'J-Lo'.. If you say the names, it motivates you because that's who you want to look like,” she told Cosmo.

5. Love Yourself

Jade revealed to the BBC that she struggled with an eating disorder when she was younger. "It got to the point when I knew I needed someone else to tell, harboring a horrible secret like that is obviously really damaging to your mental health and obviously my physical health,” she said. She eventually told someone she thought she had a problem. "It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The minute I started to actually talk to people about it, was the minute I started to get better,” she continued. "I don't think I would ever do that to myself again." When talking to two teenagers in recovery from anorexia, she revealed the secret to recovery: "I just learned to love myself again."

Attwood says one of the reasons she is a lot happier with herself is her new approach to wellness.

Millie Court, star of Love Island, sends “Postcards from Ibiza 🖤✨,” as she captioned a new swimsuit photo. “MILLIEEEEE 😍😍🔥,” said Kaz Kamwi in the comments. “Omg 😍😍😍😍😍,” said Liberty Poole. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Millie Court 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 Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

Pride Of Britain Awards 2021 - Red Carpet ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

In them, Thirlwall and her partner are seen going hiking, kayaking, and out at night. In one photo, Thirlwall wears a two-piece swimsuit, showing off her figure.

Read on to see 5 ways Jade Thirlwall stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Brings Cleanser With Her

In an interview with Bustle, Thirlwall revealed her favorite beauty products. She says that she likes to carry a cleanser with her. “I have it in my bag all the time. Just because I do a lot of travelling around and if I get on the Tube or something, my skin always feels a bit gross after. So I have to have cleanser or wipes in my bag just to quickly whip out and clean my face again. I'm a bit of a clean freak. And if you get on that Bakerloo Line, hun, your skin's not thanking you for it.”

2. She Follows A Full Skincare Routine

For Thirlwall, a skincare routine is needed. "I have combination skin,” she explained in an interview with Cosmopolitan. “It’s dry and oily – so I tend to follow a full skincare routine. I always start with a face wipe to remove makeup, followed by Simple’s Moisturising Face Wash. Then I moisturise. I finish off with a face mask every couple of weeks to keep my skin hydrated."

3. She Uses Hair Oil

In her Bustle interview, Thirlwall reveals that she loves hair oil. “My hair is thirsty as f*ck,” she says. “It's because I've got naturally quite thick curly hair. It's always gagging for a bit of moisture. So I carry oil in my bag constantly, and it just keeps it healthy. It's not too heavy so it's never going to look like you've suddenly put something greasy on your hair. It's very light and lovely.”

4. She Doesn’t Rely On Makeup For Confidence

Thirlwall loves doing makeup, however her approach to it has changed. She tells Bustle that the switch happened after she gained more confidence, and shared what she’d tell her younger self “I would actually remind myself at that age that make-up doesn't have to be a mask to cover your face. It's something that I enjoy doing, it's art, and it's something that helps just elevate what’s already there.”

5. She’s Motivated

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Thirlwall and her Little Mix bandmates shared their fitness secrets. In it, Thirlwall revealed her secrets for staying motivated. “I shout names at myself. I'll be like 'Jessica Alba', 'J-Lo'.. If you say the names, it motivates you because that's who you want to look like."

Running is Ashley’s go-to exercise method. “I did the marathon for the second time this year but my knees have suffered recently so I’ve been doing a 30 day Kobox class which is a combination of boxing and HIIT,” she told Daily Star.

2. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Ashley detailed her diet to Daily Star. “Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day – smashed avocado, seeds, scrambled egg, chilli flakes and a slice of brown toast,” she said. "Lunch will be something like a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich and for dinner I love home-made chicken curry with lots of rice and spices. When it comes to snacks I like nut and dates – of the food and men type!”

3. Pizza Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Ashley allows herself to cheat. “I love pizza, but I’m not sure how much of a guilty pleasure it is because I don’t feel guilty about having it,” she told Daily Star. "I’d probably have it five times a week if I could. Chicken sweetcorn and mushrooms are my favourite toppings. I also adore mac and cheese!”

4. She Doesn’t Pay Attention to Numbers

“I don’t watch calories and I don’t weigh myself – I tend to think if it tastes good eat it,” Ashley told Daily Star. “I know the more exercise I do the more I eat, but I know if I’ve had pigged out a bit I tend to feel a bit disgusting so I make sure I load up with veg. And if my jeans feel tight then I cut back.”

5. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

Ashley has been very open about her struggles with body dysmorphia. “When my body dysmorphia was at its worst I would look in the mirror and had no concept of how I really looked, but be convinced I looked fat,” she revealed to Daily Star. "If there was the slightest bit of midriff or legs on show I’d think I looked disgusting and worried what were people were going to think. Exercise as a routine has really helped. When I was at uni I let exercise slip, now it’s part of my routine. They key is not to make it a chore – do something you love and incorporate it into your life. I also relied on the advice of friends to tell me how I looked.”

6. She Refuses to “Punish” Her Body

Ashley.James1Ashley James/Instagram

In her latest social media post, Ashley encourages her followers to love themselves. “Well, it's that time of year again! Our Christmas dinner has barely digested and we're already being bombarded with weight loss ads trying to convince us to feel insecure. Plugging the lie to us that we will be happier, healthier and more confident if we punish our bodies...But just because it's a New Year, it doesn't mean we need a new body! Please don't fall for this annual toxic narrative and remember that whether it's the latest celebrity weight loss program or a product - they are making money from your insecurities,” she wrote. “Of course, we should and could all aspire to be healthier! But health doesn't always equal weight loss - especially if it's some unsustainable diet or fitness regime. I was my most unhealthy when I was the smallest version of myself. It also never brought me confidence or love or a high self esteem. It did make me obsess over my appearance. Made me more self critical. And convinced me if I could just change my appearance I'd be happier and more loveable. I wasn't. It was only when I learned to love and accept myself, and appreciate that my value and the things that brought me joy weren't tied to my appearance,” she continued. “You deserve to enjoy food with family and friends. Don't let people convince you that you need to change your appearance so they can profit off your insecurities.”

1. She Keeps a Routine

“I have loads of energy so lately I’ve been trying to channel that into an exercise routine. But I’m still very much a beginner. I now work out three to four days a week because I know it’s an important part of keeping healthy,” she told Women’s Health. “I’m actually finding it quite fun. Once a week, I do a one-hour boxing workout with my trainer Bradley Simmonds, who keeps me motivated; if I’m on my own, I’ll pump up high-energy songs like Bicycle by Vybz Kartel to get me through my workout.”

2. She Does HIIT Training

National Television Awards 2021 - Red Carpet ArrivalsKarwai Tang/WireImage

“Before my trip to Australia for I’m A Celeb, I started a vigorous summer workout plan, which consisted of three sets of burpees, jumping squats and planks (non-stop for 20 seconds then 40 seconds rest), followed by seated shoulder presses (three sets of ten reps), squats (three sets of ten reps), crunches (three rounds of 20 seconds non-stop plus a 40 second rest) and press-ups (three sets of ten reps),” she told Women’s Health. “Although, I prefer weight training on the machines and I still do some cardio. I usually ease myself in with a run or fast walk on the treadmill.”

3. Exercise Helps Her Mentally

“I just think [working out] helps your mental health so much anyway – there’s a difference in how I feel if I go out and do some exercise versus just staying in bed all day. I notice how it impacts my brain and how I’m feeling,” she told Stylist.

4. She Tries to Post Filter-Free Photos

"I did a story saying I'm going to stop using them because you end up getting used to it, and then, when you don't have them on you think 'actually I don't really like how that looks' and it warps your own mind," she explained. "So I've tried to cut down,” she told Cosmo. When she does use a “glam team,” she tries to mention it.

5. She Says This About Showing Off Her Body

“It’s so ridiculous that people use the angle of ‘you’re a woman, you should cover up,’” Jama told Cosmo. “We’re women, we have” chests. “Some people are stuck in the past. You can’t police somebody’s outfit. I’ve put on weight. When I was smaller, nobody would comment about the dresses [I wore] but because my” chest is “bigger now, it’s offensive. You can be the best presenter in the world, but if you’re wearing a low-cut top, that’s going to be the only focus. It is stupid.”

Jen Heward is a fitness influencer. A few weeks ago, she shared a workout she did while she was pregnant on Instagram. In it, Heward is seen doing things like lunges, bicep curls, and modified push-ups. Heward captioned the post, “Always picking wedgies 🐫🤣 Killer full body burn 🔥 from the drafts!! Little did I know I was going to have a baby 2 weeks from the day this was filmed 🥹 I actually haven’t done a full body since this workout 🤣 I’m inspired by my own videos to get back into it again 💪🏼”

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Heward is seen doing exercises with weights. This has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “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 Does Lunges

Another exercise that Heward is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Core Workouts

Heward likes to do core workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared some of her favorite core exercises with ankle weights in this Instagram post. Heward captioned it, “Strengthening these hips and core back postpartum 🔥 plus quite a few of you were asking for some inner thigh exercises! SAVE 4 LATER. It might not look like much for core, but you need a whole lot of deep core stability for these leg exercises. This way you hit more than one muscle group at a time! The workout took me 30 min but had me 🥵”

She Does Pull-Ups

Heward shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing pull-ups. According to Gymless, it can be very beneficial to do these. “Pull-ups are one of the most fundamental calisthenics exercises that build up your strength and endurance in the upper body. It is commonly used as a form of physical test from schools all the way up to the military. Many athletes from all sports backgrounds use pull-ups in their training, which makes this one of the best exercises for building the upper body and developing a bigger and stronger back.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Heward is also seen doing hip thrusts in the previous Instagram link. Gymless says that these are very beneficial for your glutes. “Strong glutes are not only for aesthetic appeal; they serve a key functional purpose in supporting the posterior chain of muscles around the spine. Hip thrusts are also known for their capacity to develop and define glute muscles, contributing to their popularity on social media. After all, who doesn’t appreciate the look of a well-crafted pair of glutes?”

Brooke Ence is a fitness expert, and is the founder of From The Farm USA. She shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. Recently, Ence shared a video of herself doing interval weight training. In it, she is seen doing things like burpees, deadlifts, and sit-ups. Ence captioned the post, “So here’s one of my favorite ways to break a sweat. 🔥 It’s challenging, mentally engaging, and interval style, which always keeps it fun.”

She Lifts Weights

As you can see from her Instagram video, Ence likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of other posts of herself using weights. According to ACE Fitness, lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Deadlifts

Ence is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “One significant benefit of the RDL is that it teaches clients how to lift from the hips instead of using the lower back. The base move of the RDL is the standing hip hinge, which is an important component of learning how to squat correctly. The first move during the lowering phase of the squat should be the hips moving back in a flexed position. Back pain is often associated with not using the hips properly when squatting or bending over to pick an object up off of the ground. Teaching clients how to lift safely in the gym means they m

She Does Burpees

Ence is seen doing burpees by jumping over a barbell in her Instagram video. Burpees have a lot of benefits. A Healthier Michigan says, “A burpee is an easy exercise and can be done in almost any location because it involves no workout equipment and only requires a small amount of space. Burpees workout your entire body and are great for building strength and burning calories.”

She Does Sit-ups

Another exercise that Ence is seen doing in her Instagram video is sit-ups. The Cleveland Clinic says that sit-ups are very beneficial. “Sit ups are essential for strengthening your core — something that’s obvious. But your core is responsible for so much more than those classic ‘six pack’ abs many strive for. A strong core can reduce back pain, improve balance and increase your flexibility. Core muscles also support your hips and pelvis. Finally, a strong core will help you build good posture.”

She Jumps Rope

Another thing that Ence does to keep herself in shape is jump rope. She shared a photo on Instagram of herself jumping rope for an interval. Ence captioned it, “Got snapped 📸 during my training day. Here's the Metcon I was doing, how many double unders could you get? 4 Rounds. 20 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches . 90 Seconds Amrap Double Unders.. Rest 1:00.”

She Does Gymnastics Training

As a way to help with her dives, Pellacani does a lot of gymnastic training. She shared this video on Instagram of herself working on her flips. Pellacani captioned it, “This is one of the methods we use to correct and improve our dives before we do them in the water!! • it’s very useful to replicate the feeling we feel while diving and therefore it allows us to correct our mistakes with the help of the coach. 😁💗 (this in particular was not an easy workout😂).”

She Strength Trains

Pellacani also likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using a barbell. Pellacani captioned the post, “There is nothing more annoying than ppl belittle what u do!! • No sport is easy, they all require a lot of effort and discipline💪🏻💗”

She Does Squats

Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, really. It also generates power for upper-body movements and all kinds of other activities.”
