How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Janette Manrara 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 Prioritizes Wellness

“Wellbeing is everything. It’s about finding a way to be physically active and mentally stimulated and happy. There are so many different ways we can look after our mind and our body and put that into one,” Manrara told The Independent. “There’s no one solution for anyone – I learned that through my wellbeing courses. It’s about finding that balance that’s right for you, not trying fit an image, profile or a certain type. We all come in different shapes and sizes, and finding what works for you is what I think wellbeing is all about – what makes you ultimately happy and feel good.”

2. She Cooks

Janette cooks her own food, not just because it helps her eat healthier but actually makes her happy. "I love the kitchen! I never thought I would fall in love with cooking and baking but I find it almost therapeutic to put music on and follow a really great recipe. I make mean fajitas and a great spaghetti bolognese and the most satisfying thing in the world is to hear Aljaz go 'Mmmm, that's delicious',” she said.

3. She Lifts Weights

Aside from dancing, Janette exercises. “I’ve started really getting into weight training,” she told Independent. “I’m doing a bit of running, and I like to be at home and just do 25 minutes of body exercises, just here with my yoga mat, as much as I can. That’s helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep an eye on my weight, because I did feel the difference, in my muscles especially, when I stopped Strictly.”

4. She Works Out Three to Four Times a Week

Janette tries to slip in short workouts several times a week. “Those 20-30 minute workouts I can squeeze in even when I’m on holiday have been really helpful. I try and exercise at least three times a week, if I’m really good then four times a week, even if it’s on my own in my hotel room if I’m on holiday, or here at home, and be careful with what I’m putting into my body. But not too careful either, because it’s good to relax and have a break,” she told Independent.

5. Her Diet Is “Balanced”

“I wouldn’t say I eat healthily, but I think I’m very balanced with my food. If I’ve been very good in the day, I allow myself a little treat in the evening, or if I’ve been naughty in the day then I try to eat not too bad later. I also watch my portions – I don’t have big portions of anything.“But I’m not a crazy fiend about eating super-healthy, I just try and keep my plate balanced, with a little bit of salad, a little bit of veggies, some protein and some carbs, and if I want a little treat afterwards, then a piece of chocolate or anything like that,” she told Independent. She also loves pizza and burgers. “I don’t think it’s about cutting things out completely, it’s just about balancing it out, and watching what you put into your body.”

Journalist Monica Bertini is in a bathing suit and loving life. “F🐚O🐠R☀️M🌊E🫧N 🏝T🌸E🐟R🪸A,” she captioned a photo. (Recently, she shared another amazing shot captioned: “•••I☀️B🌊I🌈Z🍒A•••.” In each pic, Monica looked firm and fit. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Loves Sunny Days

Monica is frequently posing outside in the sun or near the water. “No, non sono in vacanza…

Ma mi piace immaginarlo 🌊☀️ 🛟#estate #summer #2022 #mare #sea #sole #sun #picoftheday #pic #me #memories #monicabertini #sunnyday #happyday #holiday,” she captioned a new photo. (Rough translation: “No, I'm not on vacation ...

But I like to imagine it 🌊☀️#summer #summer # 2022 #mare #sea #sun #sun #picoftheday #pic #me #memories #monicabertini #sunnyday #happyday #holiday”)

2. She Takes Care of Her Body

“I take great care of my body on an aesthetic level: I look for the best creams, I do mud baths, I love massages and often … I massage myself. The truth is that being a curious person and having tried different types, over and over again, I also learned how to perform them professionally. And therefore not only were the friends satisfied, but I myself apply what I have understood and experienced on myself,” she has said.

3. She Indulges but Carefully

““And who ever said to give up. Maybe I’ll be more careful in the following days but I don’t want to do without one of the pleasures of life. I’m a fan of carbohydrates: pasta in its most varied facets, pizza, focaccia. goodness. And then the desserts: I’m really greedy. Obviously it’s the quantity that makes the difference. I eat without excess but with taste,” she has said.

4. She Likes to Go for a Run

"Night Party" By Alessandro MartoranaPietro D'Aprano/Getty Images

Monica likes to run outdoors. “It lowers your risk of heart attack or stroke. It's good for your bones, blood pressure, and your brain. As you exercise more vigorously—stepping up from walking to running—you will boost cardio and pulmonary fitness. At the same pace, running burns 20% more calories than a brisk walk,” says Harvard Health.

5. She Loves Dogs

“It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that owning a dog requires a little bit of energy. Dogs have to be walked and exercised, which means dog owners are out there getting more physical activity than people without dogs. Older people are more likely to take regular walks with a dog than they are with a human, according to one study. Another found that 60% of dog owners who took their dogs for regular walks were considered to get regular moderate or vigorous exercise based on federal standards,” says the Animal Health Foundation. Monica postes a series of photos with her favorite pooches, captioning it:

“Special guests #specialguests :

🐕 DIANA, la perfezione - #diana

Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara took a break from her hectic schedule to have some vacation time in Mykonos, Greece. The Cuban-American dancer wore a variety of bathing suits over the trip, which she showcased on Instagram. “Well that was fun! Photo dump of Mykonos w/ my sis @iamashleyroberts and some of our faves 🇬🇷Until next year ☀️,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Manrara 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 Loves Bananas

Manrara is obsessed with bananas and eats them with everything—including pasta! "I know it sounds weird but I kind of have a banana with everything," she tells HELLO. "One of my favorite things in the world, and you're all going to be shocked, is to have a banana with spaghetti. I love bananas with chicken and rice. It's just a Cuban side dish that's normally made with fried plantain, but as a kid growing up, if we didn't have the fried plantains my mum would just give me a banana."

2. She Loves Cool Ranch Doritos

Doritos, specifically the Cool Ranch flavor, are Manrara’s favorite snack food. While Doritos could never be mistaken for any sort of healthy snack, it’s clearly a “treat” and not something she eats all the time (although they are lab-designed to be over-eaten). “Doritos started as a genius idea from the VP of sales and marketing at Frito-Lay named Arch West,” says Mark Schatzker, author of The Dorito Effect. “He wanted to unleash tortilla chips on the market. The very first Doritos were just salted tortilla chips — and they failed. So he came up with an idea to make them taste like taco. Up to that point, only tacos tasted like tacos and tortilla chips tasted like corn. Thanks to the invention of the gas chromatograph, flavor scientists could finally figure out what flavor compounds were in tacos and then put those chemicals on tortilla chips."

3. She Dances—Obviously!

Manrara is a dancer, and incorporates dance into her workouts—and into her social media posts. "Dancing can give you more than traditional cardio," Fabio Comana, an exercise physiologist and education team member for the National Academy of Sports Medicine, told HuffPost. "If exercise is not an enjoyable experience, we're not going to do it. People think, 'I'm not exercising, I'm dancing'. But at the end of the day, you're moving and you're burning calories. It's just as good as a cardio class."

4. She Cleans Her Face Religiously

Manrara never goes to bed without thoroughly washing her face—no matter how tired she is. “I use Neutrogena Facial Wash every night before I go to bed,” she tells Express. I wear so much make-up for Strictly and this helps keep my skin clear. I moisturize afterwards, using Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm or ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy. It’s so crucial that you go to bed with absolutely no make-up on – it’s easy to come home tired and just lay down and sleep, but it’s the worst thing you can do for your face.”

5. She Stretches Every Day

Manrara stretches every day. “When I’m on Strictly, I don’t do much because we are training,” she says. “When I’m not, I will go on the treadmill two or three times a week just for 25 minutes, then I might do some body sculpting. For dancing I need to have long lean muscles, so I do lots of stretching too.” Stretching is important for preventing injuries, experts say. "A lot of people don't understand that stretching has to happen on a regular basis. It should be daily," says David Nolan, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. "The areas critical for mobility are in your lower extremities: your calves, your hamstrings, your hip flexors in the pelvis and quadriceps in the front of the thigh."

6. She Avoids Dairy

Manrara loves alternative milk, and avoids real dairy. “I love cereal but I don’t drink cows’ milk,” she says. “I drink this dairy-free product called Mylk from Rebel Kitchen and it tastes like whole milk – it’s amazing. I also love a banana with peanut butter if I really need a lot of energy for the day, and of course a huge cup of coffee.”

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.

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

“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.

Model Karoline Lima shared a new swimsuit photo on Instagram this week. In it, she lay by the pool, wearing a black bathing suit and red wrap. She captioned the post, “Amputation of foot for personal reasons.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Karoline Lima 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 Swims

Lima spends a lot of time in the water. She has a lot of photos on Instagram of herself either at the beach or the pool. She likes to swim to stay in shape. Lima shared this photo of herself wading in the waves at sunset. She captioned the post, “Happy and light as if there's no strife amen.” She also shared these photos of herself wading in the ocean, captioning it, “Wonder where I am?”

2. She Rides Jet-Skis

Swimming isn’t the only activity Lima does at the beach to stay active. She likes to get her heart racing and adrenaline flowing. Lima likes to ride jet-skis at the beach. Lima posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself jet-skiing in Praia das Toninhas. She captioned the post, “Fucking beautiful you know.”

3. She Plays With Dogs

Lima is a dog lover. She owns two Pomeranians, and she prominently features them on her Instagram. Lima posted this photo of herself carrying her dogs outside. She captioned the post, “Can I make a frame of this picture? Full moon.” She also shared this photo with her dogs, captioning it, “Oreo and Luquinhas passing by to send you a kiss.”

4. She Benefits From the Sun

“Sometimes a little bit of sunshine is the best medicine. A walk in the park or a bike ride probably puts you in a good mood, and a moderate amount of sun is also good for your physical health. While you’re outside soaking up rays, your body is busy making vitamin D. That’s good news, because this hormone that’s boosted by exposure to sunlight plays an important role in women’s health,” says Johns Hopkins.

5. She Loves the Beach

“Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, playing and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas,” says the EPA.

Salma Hayek has been sizzling up the big screen for decades and has barely aged. She is 58 and looks decades younger. What is her secret? The star recently told Elle that “no Botox, no peels, no fillers” is involved in her ageless beauty. What is her secret to staying youthful as she closes in on 60? Here are all of her forever young habits.

Habit One: Restorative Yoga[

Salma isn’t a fan of formal sweat sessions. “‘I don’t have time to exercise, I am working,” Salma told People. Instead, she practices restorative yoga is her exercise of choice. “I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long,” she explained. “So even when you brush your teeth, you’re working the muscles,” she added. “She taught me to tone my muscles without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you’re aware of your body, you’d be surprised by the effect it can have.”

Habit Two: She Eats (Mostly) Plant-Based

“I don't like to diet and I'm not good at it,” Salma dished on her website. She fills her plate with fruit, veggies, and leans meats, fish, and juice. “When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort,” she continued. She tries not to eat meat. “The only thing I do is that I don’t eat animals every day. I eat all kinds of meat, but I consume it sparsely,” she added to the New York Times . “I would never eat two meats in a day. Sometimes I go several days without eating meat, but then I’ll go back.”

Habit Three: Meditation

Hayek also believes that beauty and longevity come from within. “I really believe it is. People say it’s exercising. I think it’s meditation,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “You have to find your way. For me, exercising is hard. It’s really, really difficult to have the discipline to do it. But meditation is a walk in the park, because it’s my own form of it. When I don’t for some time, guess what? Not only the face starts to drop and everything starts to drop, but my herniated disc, the problem in my neck, the problem in my hip, my ankles. I start breaking down.” She added that she practices meditation “every day.”

Habit Four: Massage

Regular rubdowns are another one of her healthy habits. “You have to find a good person that gives a good massage,” she told Inquisitr. “I have a [massage therapist], but she lives in Japan. She only comes to London every once in a while. But when she comes, she's my secret weapon. Massage oxygenates, activates the circulation, and keeps the muscles healthy and firm. I cannot tell you, even just for the lymphatic [system], what the massage does for the face.”

Habit Five: Juice Cleanses

Salma loves juicing and even started her own company. “After doing a juice cleanse, I'm motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. Cleansing is like my meditation. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I'm putting into my body. I'm making a commitment to my health and hitting the reset button,” she said.

Jane Fonda’s Longevity Diet at 87

The star has a moderate but efficient approach to eating.

It’s almost impossible to fathom that Jane Fonda is nearing 90. The actress and fitness legend turned 87 in December but somehow looks a fraction of her age. How has she managed to slow down the aging process? According to her, it all has to do with a few simple dietary rules that she follows. Here is what you need to know about her longevity diet.

Her Secret? A Balanced Diet

Fonda’s main secret? It’s all about moderation. "Most diets focus on weight loss on the scale, and they impose temporary and often unhealthy restrictive behavior," she said in a 2012 video for BeFiT. "Unfortunately, this scenario sets us up to fail." She cited research stating that 80% of dieters “will regain all or most of the weight that they lost within two years.” You won’t find her on a diet. “Fad diets are the ones promising unrealistic results. You should not try to lose more than two to three pounds per week, max," she said.

She Eats Breakfast

"Every morning, commit to starting the day with a nutritious breakfast. People who do so tend to lose weight," she said in the video. "Breakfast, by the way, is the most important meal of the day, and making a good choice there will set you up for success for the rest of the day."

She Cheats, in Moderation

Fonda also indulges on occasion. "You don't want to feel deprived," she points out in the video. "You can't sustain that over the long haul. So, if you have a piece of chocolate, it's OK—just don't eat the whole box, or maybe take a longer walk tomorrow."

She Fills Her Plate with Plants

"I eat a fairly healthy diet. I'm not rigid," she dished to Vogue. "I have cut way back on red meat. I've cut back on fish because fish supplies are dwindling. I eat vegetables. I eat salads. I eat fresh food. I'm just careful about what I eat. I don't eat a lot of sugar, except lately I have."

When She Eats More, She Exercises More

When Fonda indulges in "unhealthy" food, she exercises more. "I was in Italy for two and a half months making the sequel to Book Club, and ate gelato and pasta every single day while I was there," she told Vogue. "But I never gained weight. I would get up at six in the morning before the heat hit and walk for an hour, hour and a half, two hours on days when the work permitted me to do that. I walk a lot, and that helps me."

Do you want an ab-fab body like Halle Berry at 58? The star has shared some of the “essential core workouts” she does with her trainer, Peter Lee Thomas. In a post, she revealed that the ab moves are “the kinds of exercises I do to accelerate muscular ab growth,” she wrote. “ What I’ve learned throughout my training this past year is that a strong core supports EVERY other part of your body, and if you’re performing exercises correctly, you’re always engaging your core - now that’s a win / win! Enjoy.”

The first ab exercise she does is bear crawl bench up and downs. Here’s how to do it: Get down on your hands and knees, facing a couch or bench. Make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders with your knees off the floor, putting weight on your toes. Slowly lift your left hand without twisting your hips, placing it on the bench. Then do the same with your right. Return to your starting position, one hand at a time.
