Jessica Chastain is heating up the red carpet in Rome. The 44-year-old showed off her ridiculously toned midsection at the Rome Film Festival on Thursday, rocking a bright blue silk blazer and matching skirt with a black bra top, all Gucci, during a photocall for her upcoming film, The Eyes of Tammy Faye. How does the actress maintain her super fit figure? Read on to see 5 ways Jessica Chastain 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 Finds Ways to Be Accountable

"During quarantine, I did [trainer] Isaac Boots' Torch'd workouts with my grandmother, who is in her 80s. It was such a breath of sanity during that time to do it every morning with my grandma. And she really helped me be accountable,” Jessica told Shape earlier this year. She also does power yoga online twice a week, “and that helps clear my head,” she added.

2. With Exercise Comes Pride

“Working out gives me confidence. It's the sense of being proud of myself,” Jessica told Shape about what motivated her to workout. “The starting point of exercise is always difficult for me — finding the time and quiet space and feeling that I've got a million other things I need to do. But once I finish, I immediately feel like a superhero. It's also a reminder — especially when you're in a yoga position or holding a plank, and you're shaking and thinking, I can't do it! — that honestly, you can get through anything."

3. She is Vegan

Jessica has been a vegan for over 14 years. “At the time, I was very low energy, and I remember getting sick. I was making one of my first films, in which I had to play different ages of the character's life, and I wanted to change my body accordingly. So I would gain weight and then lose it really quickly. After that, my body was wrecked. A friend said, 'You should try this two-week vegan raw-food diet.' I hated it. The first week, I was so miserable. But by the second week, I had so much energy. When the two weeks were over, I was like, I'm done! I went to a restaurant and ordered risotto and fish. And that night, I felt sick again. I decided that my body was clearly telling me the way it wanted me to eat. I was raw vegan for about nine months. Now I'm just vegan,” she told Shape.

4. She Cooks Her Own Food

“I love to cook — so much that I went to the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York in 2012 and took the intensive chef-training program,” Jessica revealed to Shape. “In the winter I like to make soups and stews and anything roasted. I'm also really into food as medicine. Licorice root tea is my jam during COVID-19, because licorice is really good for your immune system."

5. She Does Weekly Fasts

"I don't want anyone to misinterpret this or do anything that's unhealthy for them, but it's really important for me to fast one day a week. I do a green-juice fast every Monday,” she explained to Shape. “I like to start my week in a quiet place, listening to what's going on with my mind. It's a sense of giving myself a moment to be clear and allowing my body to reset. It helps me start the week."

On the big screen, anything can happen: Angelina Jolie, with her megawatt pout, can play a wicked witch, Gal Gadot can fly an invisible plane and Emma Watson can enroll in the Wizarding World and date the Beast. These stars of fantasy movies keep the stories grounded with their convincing acting among the green screens, and we thank them for it. But how do they stay so big-screen fit? Here we've collected the advice of those stars and more.


1. Angelina Jolie

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - April 11, 2024Gotham/GC Images

Angelina Jolie’s roles include the title character in the Maleficent films, the title character in Lara Croft, and Thena in Eternals. Jolie works with trainer, Simon Crane, to help her stay in shape. Crane shared the actress’ diet and workout secrets with Us Weekly. "She has to have 70% carbohydrates and 30% protein diet with an anaerobic training regime as opposed to aerobic, so she can put muscle on without losing weight. Sticking to four or five meals a day routine as much as possible."

2. Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett appeared in The Lord of The Rings film series. She also appeared in Thor: Ragnarok. She shared how she got in shape for the film with Coveteur. “It was a hardcore cardio and weights circuit, but it only lasted 20 minutes because he had to fit it in between scenes. But it was great, I actually wanted to get up at six in the morning and work with him for 20 minutes before the kids woke up, if you can believe it. It sounds bizarre. I’m not doing that at the moment, but I really do want to get back to it.”

3. Emma Watson

Emma Watson has played Belle in the live-action Beauty & The Beast and Hermoine Granger in the Harry Potter films. She shared some of her skincare secrets with Into The Gloss. Watson revealed that she uses multiple moisturizers. “I switch up my moisturizers depending on what issue I’m trying to address. I use the MV Organics Rose Plus Booster a lot and also their Rose Soothing and Protective Moisturiser. If my skin is feeling a bit sun-damaged or congested, I like their 9 Oil Cleansing Tonic, but I’ve never been big on masks!”

4. Charlize Theron

2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsLeon Bennett/GA/The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images

Charlize Theron played the Evil Queen in the Snow White & The Huntsman film series. She shared some of her fitness secrets with Red Magazine. Theron likes to go to spin classes. “Maybe in the past five years, I picked up Spinning and that’s how I like to get my cardio now. I used to run, but I like Spinning a lot more. I probably do yoga three times a week and Spinning three times a week, but it has to be flexible.”

5. Gal Gadot

World Premiere Of "Barbie" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Gal Gadot shared how she got in shape for the Wonder Woman films with Good Housekeeping. “When I worked out for Wonder Woman it was much more intensive and broad. For six months, we prepped for the movie where I [would] wake up every morning, drink Smartwater, go to the gym, and workout…I did a lot of strength training, cardio, stunt choreography, and flexibility work."

6. Keira Knightley

20th Century Studios' "Boston Strangler" New York ScreeningDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Keira Knightley starred in the Pirates of The Caribbean film series. She tells Vogue that she likes to keep her skin natural. “When I am at work I put my skin through a lot, so it makes me want to not do anything when left to my own devices,” she explained. “Maybe about three times a year I might get a facial, but otherwise it's literally as little as possible. I had really bad skin until I was 24 and up until then I did everything under the sun to it. Then one day I thought I would try to leave it and that's what suited it better. That's also why I always want to wear as little make-up as possible when I am not working. When I'm filming, I always have a breakout as we have to cake the make-up on. I think it needs a break every now and again to be able to breathe.”

7. Natalie Portman

2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards  - ArrivalsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Natalie Portman has appeared in Your Highness and the Thor movies. She is a vegan, and shared some of her favorite vegan foods with Us Weekly. “There’s like tempeh bacon, you know, coconut milk, yogurt, cheese is made out of cashews and all sorts of delicious things that they’ve figured out that are great replacements for those things you crave.”

8. Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt has appeared in Into The Woods and Edge Of Tomorrow. She shared one of her wellness secrets with Glamour. "I would say if you feel yourself coming down with a cold, which I'm like the worst person to nominate this because I sound horrible today - tail end of laryngitis. But... oil of oregano. You sort of just throw a few drops down there. It's disgusting, you burn your throat but I do tend to find it shortens the cold."

9. Anna Kendrick

Anna Kendrick also appeared in Into The Woods. She shared her approach to fitness in an interview with Shape Magazine. "For a long time, working out meant that the only goal was to change the shape of your body. But now it's about the strength and flexibility aspects, rather than appearance. I definitely had to shift my thinking about it, from doing something to punish myself to doing something to make my quality of life better."

10. Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz appeared in Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. She shared some of her fitness secrets in an interview with InStyle. “I do Bikram yoga, which has completely changed my body.

Zoe Saldana has appeared in film franchises like Pirates of The Caribbean, Guardians of The Galaxy, and Avatar. Saldana shared with Shape that she believes in eating a balanced diet. "I don't believe in cheat days because I don't believe in diets,” she explains. “I try not to deprive my body of anything, because the moment I have just salads and protein for a few days, I crave carbs. But when I eat everything in balance, I think less about food and more about everything else. It's about eating to live, not living to eat."

12. Lily James

Lily James played Cinderella in Disney’s 2015 live-action movie. She also played Pamela Anderson in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy. James worked with trainer, Matt Bevan, to get in shape for the role.

"And I did boxing with a really cool guy in LA, which I loved too, being physically strong like I could literally beat someone up."

13. Lily Collins

Lily Collins appeared in Mirror Mirror. She makes sure to eat a healthy diet. “I’m a clean eater,” she tells Shape. “I love chicken, fish, and vegetables and grains like quinoa, but I don’t eat red meat. I steer clear of processed foods. I’m very farm-to-table; growing up in the English countryside, it was a way of life, not a trend.”

14. Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts also appeared in Mirror Mirror. She is considered one of Hollywood’s most gorgeous women. Roberts shared her beauty secrets in an interview. “Good genes, leading a life that is fulfilling, and I have said this—and I say it usually as kind of a joke—but I do believe in the love of a good man. I believe that my husband loves me and cares for me in a way that makes me feel deeply, deeply happy. And anytime you see someone who’s happy, it doesn’t matter how old they are.”

15. Michelle Pfieffer

One of Michelle Pfieffer’s notable roles was in Stardust. She shared her diet secrets in an interview with Urbanette. "I love the vegan diet because I love carbs.

16. Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet appeared in the film A Kid In King Arthur’s Closet. She shared her approach o wellness with British Vogue. “Honestly, I have learned that health comes before reaching for a mirror or a bottle of product. And if anything, I do look in the mirror less and less as I get older. In my twenties I probably thought about my appearance more than I do now, for the simple reason that as I get older I have more important things that concern me than how I look.”

17. Nicole Kidman

The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" - ArrivalsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Nicole Kidman appeared in The Golden Compass. She shared the secrets behind her amazing skin in an interview with Vogue. “My skincare routine [starts with] the night repair which is the regenerating cream which has the retinol in it that Neutrogena does that is really good for me, because it doesn’t make my skin dry and I have really dry skin, so that always been a big thing.”

18. Anne Hathaway

One of Anne Hathaway’s roles was in Alice In Wonderland.

We wanted to build a strong foundation, focus on keeping Gal mobile and uninjured.” Lygdback said Gadot did, “Leg press, front dumbbell squats, skaters and skate jumps — that’s such a good one because it recruits fast-twitch muscle fibers and works all three of the glute muscles — pull-ups, lateral raises and a ton of core work.”

It’s about showing up and accountability. You have to say, ‘Everyone will meet at 8:15 a.m.’ I know when I have a real plan then I’m there. If my friends are waiting, that puts a pressure on me not to disappoint them.”

In 2016, Ronda Rousey talked about her diet in an interview with StyleCaster. “I follow the Dolce Diet, and for breakfast I start the day off at 7:30am with a Dolce chia bowl. That’s two tablespoons of chia, hemp, and oats, add agave nectar, cinnamon, a couple blueberries, and a tablespoon of almond butter. My diet is about maximizing my nutrient intake instead of minimizing calories, and that keeps my metabolism burning fast.”

17. Jessica Biel

In 2016, Cameron Diaz talked about her diet to Bon Appetit. She says that she eats two meals in the morning, and they couldn’t be more different. “At my first breakfast, I just put something in my stomach before my workout—usually scrambled eggs, toast, an avocado, an apple with almond butter, overnight oats, or a piece of chicken. It's just enough to kick things into gear. Then I work out. After that, at second breakfast, I joke that I eat dinner for breakfast. It's a full meal with chicken, grains, and sautéed or roasted vegetables.”

Jennifer Lawrence talked about her diet and workout in an interview with Vogue. “I do work out more than normal because I have a certain way that I want to look, and a way that I want to fit into my clothes. I get photographed when I’m not asking for it, so there’s added pressure to look and feel your best. For me, it’s easier to put that extra effort into the gym instead of putting the extra effort into: ‘Oh no, I can’t eat that.’”

Hollywood’s hottest stars – including Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens, Hailey Bieber, Cardi B, and Camila Cabello – got dressed to the nines for the annual Met Gala last night. This year’s theme, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, asked stars to follow the “Gilded Glamour” dress code, and they did not disappoint. From ab-baring two-piece looks to sheer gowns, the hottest bodies in show business were on display. Read on to learn about who wore what and how Hollywood stars keep their bodies red carpet ready.


1. Camila Cabello

She recently told Shape that their workouts involve minimal equipment that focus on strength, HIIT, and balance, including complex movements that target the whole body. Most importantly, she enjoys herself. “We end up getting in an added ab workout because of how much we end up laughing,” Willis told the magazine. “Somehow she manages to keep me on my toes and turn every cardio move into an incredible-looking dance move.”

2. Vanessa Hudgens

Phoebe Dynevor donned a black, sheer Louis Vuitton peplum gown that showed off her incredible legs. One way the Bridgerton star prioritizes her health is by shying away from animal products. “I mostly eat a plant based diet but there’s still so much more that I could be doing to help shape the world that we and the next generation will live in,” she wrote in a recent Instagram post. “You don’t have to become vegan overnight or ride a bike to work every single day. But little daily choices like consuming less meat and cutting down on plastic all make an impact.”

4. Emma Stone

Janelle Monáe’s Ralph Lauren halter gown perfectly accentuated her toned arms. Janelle’s main method of exercise? Dancing. “I do a lot of heavy sweating up on stage,” the performer told Black Doctor. “We do 90-minute shows — I’m moving around and it’s very high-energy. That often becomes my workout, just performing and being onstage. I guess you can say I exercise a lot, but really, I don’t realize I’m getting a workout while I’m dancing onstage because I’m always having so much fun.”

8. Kaia Gerber

Kaia Gerber was glowing in an Atelier Versace gown that featured side cutouts. Kaia’s approach to health is all about balance.

If there's pizza or if there's ice cream, I'm going to eat it," she told Byrdie in 2019.

10. Blake Lively

Blake Lively looked statuesque in an elaborate Atelier Versace gown that was inspired by New York City landmarks. Per her trainer, Don Saladino, the star’s stay-fit secret is consistency. "I think the thing with Blake now is that she's understanding the importance of trying to be consistent," he told E! News. "She's no different than any other person you know, she's a mother right? She's a human being. Just because she's a celebrity doesn't mean that her tissue or muscle or bones are any different. She's a human being."

Lizzo showed off her famous figure in an elegant Thom Browne gown. “I want people to realize that fitness doesn’t have a look or an aesthetic or a weight. Fitness is a very personal thing that’s between you and your doctor,” the star told Billboard about her approach to health. “To have a big black girl singing about how she’s working on the calisthenics – because mind you, I be in the gym everyday, but people don’t believe that … I think that it’s empowering for young girls, to see that it’s okay to work out and not have a six-pack.”

And to end the day off for dinner, we’ll make spinach and brown rice with a side of veggie balls,” the girls added to Teen Vogue in 2017.

21. Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union took the plunge in a shimmering Atelier Versace gown. The star’s best beauty secret? Drinking a gallon of water per day. “It's made a tremendous difference with my hair, skin, and nails. Everyone is always like, 'What did you do differently than everyone else? Why are you aging so slow?' It's something that everyone has access to and it not only helps with your beauty, it also helps with your fitness and digestion,” she told Elle. She drinks half her water by noon, “casually” siping on the other half until 6:00 pm. She also revealed that she drinks “a good 32 ounces” during her workouts. “Just try and do as much as you can early,” she suggests.

22. Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber rocked a white hot Saint Laurent gown. The supermodel eats healthy most of the time, but takes a day out of the week to splurge. "A cheat day for me, the first thing that I crave, I'll eat. That's my rule. So if I wake up and I want pancakes, I'm gonna eat pancakes. If I want a cheeseburger for lunch or for dinner, I'm gonna eat it. If I want fries, I'm gonna eat the fries," she told Elle.

23. Lori Harvey

Her workouts usually start with a five minute warmup, followed by a few circuits of strength training, “either lower or upper body depending on what day it is and I always finish with ab work,” she said.

24. Kim Kardashian

Leave it to Kim Kardashian to nab one of the most American gowns in history – Marilyn Monroe’s famous “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” gown designed by the legendary Bob Mackie. At first, the gown didn’t fit her. “It was this or nothing,” she told Vogue about her decision to slim down. “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just eat the cleanest veggies and protein. I didn’t starve myself, but I was so strict.” She went in after a month for her final fitting, and the dress fit like a glove. “I wanted to cry tears of joy when it went up.”

25. Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner showed off her supermodel body in a sheer topped Prada gown. Unsurprisingly, her diet is extremely healthy. "I typically eat lean chicken and brown rice, and am always snacking on raw veggies with dip and hummus. I wish I had more time to do grocery shopping because I like picking out my own vegetables,” she dished to Harper's Bazaar. Her one cheat food? Fritos Chili Cheese. “Ever since I was a kid [they’re] the only chips that I truly love and will eat all the time. They’re really bomb,” she told People.

Jennifer Aniston revealed to British Vogue that she has changed her approach to working out. She says that she aims to not burn herself out with exercise. “It used to be pounding, pounding, pounding.

Halle Berry tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to do ab and core workouts. And there’s one exercise she’s a big fan of. "One abs move I do incorporate into my workouts pretty often is planks,” Berry revealed. “I never did planks back in the day, but they've made a huge difference for my core strength and definition. Sometimes, I'll just hold a plank for as long as I can. My abs start to ache first, but pretty soon my entire body feels like it's on fire."

5. Kate Hudson

I prefer to get it done in the morning. That said, I don't naturally get up early. It would be much better for me if the entire world went to bed at 4 a.m. and woke up at noon. But it doesn't, so I'm usually staggering around first thing."

Drew Barrymore has a busy schedule, which means she doesn’t always have time to workout.

14. Zoe Saldana

"Missing Link" New York PremiereRoy Rochlin/Getty Images

Zoe Saldana opened up about how she fits workouts into her busy schedule in an interview with Shape. “I try to work out three times a week, but I don't believe in getting on one machine for 30 minutes,” she said. “If I do a lot of cardio, it usually just means I'll be dragging my feet for the rest of the day. And when I'm shooting, I really don't like to be strict with my workout, since I'm already putting in 16-hour days. So I do 20-minute intervals either at the gym or at home, where I run in place for 30 seconds, then do squats, then carry a heavy medicine ball a few times in a row until I get my heart rate up."

15. Mindy Kaling

95th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsArturo Holmes/Getty Images

Mindy Kaling has changed her approach to diet and exercises. She opened up about what changes she made to Today. “In my 20s, I thought a workout had to be something that was punishing, like 45 minutes of running and you had to hate it the whole time,” she revealed. “I don’t have that relationship with exercise anymore…Sometimes I’ll be like, ‘Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let’s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram.’ So instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I’m now just deciding that I’m going to be a more active person all the time.”

16. Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy is open about her struggles with body image and self-esteem. “I finally said, ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it,’ and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done,” she said on CBS Sunday Morning. “I truly stopped worrying about it. I stopped over-analysing, over-thinking, over-doing anything… I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”

17. Amy Schumer

The 94th Academy Awards - ArrivalsGilbert Flores/Getty Images

Amy Schumer works with trainer, Jen Wiederstrom, to help her stay in shape. Wiederstrom talked about the comedian and actress’ workout routine to Shape. Schumer likes to do a lot of Pilates exercises. "We've had to do a lot of rebuilding around her core [and] back where there was once a lot of weakness. She lights up when she gets to tackle a new Pilates movement,"

18. Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker tells Life & Style that she keeps her workouts simple. “I walk a lot. I think walking is great. I have a Fitbit. I also live in a house with four flights of stairs.” According to Better Health, walking has a lot of benefits. “Walking for 30 minutes a day or more on most days of the week is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health.”

19. Jennifer Lopez

"Sometimes, I work too late the night before and I'm like, 'Ugh, I can't do this.' But I tell myself, 'Just do it. It's only an hour.' It's just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum."

20. Rose Byrne

Rose Byrne shared how she stays fit in an interview with Shape. “Exercise is a juggling thing with small kids,” she admitted. “I've been taking a lot of long walks and hikes. All that cliché stuff. And doing yoga, which I started when I was 15 and rediscovered during quarantine. I try to do it every day for 15 to 20 minutes. It's a great way to quiet the mind.”

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.”

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.
