1. Dancing Helped Get Her in the Best Shape of Her Life

Jessie may not have won Dancing with the Stars, but she scored her best body ever. "That was life-changing. To be honest, I'd never gotten in that kind of shape before, and I've always been kind of a workout nut. But I really enjoyed that fitness journey on that show," she told Fox News Digital.

2. She Battles Body Image Issues

In 2022 Jessie opened up about her body image struggles. “I’ve been battling some body image issues, and when I really think about it, I probably always have,” she wrote in an emotional Instagram post. “I go from one extreme to being obsessed with working out and being muscular to thin and just giving up and gaining because the food makes me feel better.” She described it as a vicious “cycle” that keeps getting “worse.”

3. She Does Her Own Version of Intermitten Fasting

While Jessie doesn’t call her eating method intermittent fasting, she doesn’t eat her first meal until 11 in the morning. “I eat what I want to eat within that time frame but don't overdo it," she explained to Women’s Health about her strategy, which mirrors 16:8 fasting. "The timing really is important to me."

4. She Cooks Her Own Meals

One way that Jessie ensures she and her family are eating healthy is by cooking. "We eat dinner every day between 5 and 5:30 p.m," she told Women’s Health. "We get creative." Dinners, like pasta, chicken tacos, gumbo, or lasagna, are made from scratch. Jessie doesn’t count calories. "When you're cooking at home and you know what you're putting in your food, I don't think you have to be that strict," she said. "I don't always think it needs to be grilled chicken over greens. A lot of times I make my homemade pasta so I know what's going in the pasta. It's not that challenging and it's worth it."

5. She Maintains Balance – Most of the Times

"There are some weeks when I'm following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up. But, you know, for the most part, I'm always enjoying food and I always say 'everything in moderation' on a day-to-day basis,” she told Women's Health about her approach to balance.

6. She Works Out

Obviously, Jessie is devoted to exercise. Her form of choice? Strength training. "I work out 3 to 4 times a week and they pretty much look like this with certain variations whether we're doing more upper body or lower body," she revealed in an Instagram post. Her typical workout session starts with 30 seconds of jump rope, continuing on to high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats. Next up? Overhead squats with resistance bands, medicine ball slams and tosses, medicine ball chest passes, medicine ball sit-up tosses, resistance band pulls, deadlifts, step-down exercises, weighted overhead presses, inverted rows, bent over kettlebell rows, weight plate steering wheel exercises, dumbbell rotations, and box jumps.

Jessie James Decker does a lot. She’s a mom and wife. She’s a successful country singer. She has her own fashion brand, Kittenish. And she recently finished up a stint on Dancing With The Stars. Decker has never been afraid of showing off her body, and a recent TikTok proves it. In it, she sat on a boat in Italy. Decker wore a tan bikini, showing off her figure. She captioned the video, “Italy, I miss you, and I still love you, just thought you should know.” Read on to see 5 ways Jessie James Decker 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’s Honest About Her Mental Health

2022 CMT Artists Of The Year - ArrivalsTerry Wyatt/Getty Images

Decker is open about her mental health struggles. She wrote about it in a revealing Instagram post. “I want to be open and honest. I have struggled the last couple of years. It’s up-and-down. There have been really beautiful, amazing moments but also some pretty low lows. The reason why I want to share this is because I think I got to a place where I was trying to hide my vulnerabilities because if I made everything look great all the time it would hide my internet struggles."

2. She Goes After Her Goals

In the same post, Decker talked about her goals and career plans. She says that she wants to do a lot of things, and isn’t afraid to go after them. “I’ve also been struggling with the challenges I face in my career. I’ve been wanting to be a country singer since I was 9 years old and sometimes, I feel like constantly in a battle with the rest of the industry to prove to them that I’m not just a TV personality or an influencer because that has outshines my music. As a woman in 2022, I don’t understand why I can’t have a family, publish books, own a fashion brand, be an influencer and do TV without being questioned if I take my music career seriously just because I’ve chosen to dream big.”

3. She Makes Time For Workouts

Decker has a busy schedule, but she also makes time for workouts on a regular basis. She revealed her secrets to CMT. “Carve out 30 to 45 minutes of time. At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time. I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it."

4. She Searches For Workouts

Decker likes to do a lot of different workouts. She says that she likes to search for different tips and fitness routines to try out. She tells CMT that she uses YouTube a lot. “There are YouTube videos I will watch. There’s such a variety.”

5. She Calls Out Body Shamers

Decker isn’t afraid to call out haters. She called out body shamers on an Instagram post. "It's pretty awful, and I cannot believe this is still happening in the world,” she wrote. “That people are doing this. Yes, I have gained weight, 100 percent. I used to obsess over it. I tried to stay a certain weight, and most recently, over the past year, I decided to just let myself live."

1. She Doesn't Work Out With Her Husband

Decker’s husband, Eric Decker, is a player in the NFL. You’d think that that means that they would do a lot of couple’s workouts together. However, you’d be wrong. In an interview with Taste of Country, Decker says that she avoids working out with her husband. “We tried, but he annoys me when he works out,” she explains. “He thinks he knows everything. I feel like, whatever I’m doing, it works for me.”

2. She Sets Goals

Last year, Decker revealed on Instagram that she sets a lot of goals when it comes to her fitness. “The top of this year I decided to really step it up in the gym,” she said. “I know my core will probably never be as strong as it used to be, but damn it I’m gonna try! I have goals and I’m not stopping until I’m there.”

3. She Does Walking and Stair-Climbing Exercises

Decker broke down some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram post. She revealed that she likes to do a lot of walking-esque exercises. “I love the StairMaster, I love nice long walks (lunges are key, I do 100 at a time),” she said.

4. She Watches What She Eats

In the same Instagram post, Decker revealed that the most important part of fitness and wellness for her was not working out. She says that she puts more thought and effort into her daily diet, and tries to watch what she eats. “The biggest factor is watching what I EAT and making sure whatever I’m putting in my body is going to make me feel strong and energized.”

5. She Believes In Moderation

Decker tells Women’s Health that she keeps her diet pretty healthy. However, she does also believe in indulging at times, and keeps a balanced diet. “There are some weeks when I’m following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up,” she said. “But, you know, for the most part, I’m always enjoying food and I always say ‘everything in moderation’ on a day-to-day basis.”

1. Her Workouts Are Hardcore

Jessie puts a lot of focus on weight training. Her workouts are intense, starting with 30 seconds of jump rope, high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats, which she demonstrated in a recent Instagram video. Next up? Overhead squats with resistance bands, medicine ball slams and tosses, medicine ball chest passes, medicine ball sit-up tosses, resistance band pulls, deadlifts, step-down exercises, weighted overhead presses, inverted rows, bent over kettlebell rows, weight plate steering wheel exercises, dumbbell rotations, and box jumps. "I work out 3 to 4 times a week and they pretty much look like this with certain variations whether we're doing more upper body or lower body," she explained.

2. She Intermittently Fasts, Unofficially

Jessie is a fan of intermittent fasting, but she doesn’t call it that. She explained to Women’s Health that her eating method is very similar to a 16:8 fasting routine. "I eat what I want to eat within that time frame but don't overdo it," she explained. "The timing really is important to me."

3. Her Diet Is Protein Packed

In order to fuel her workouts, Jessie consumes a lot of protein. When she eats breakfast it will be a bowl of oatmeal or toast and coffee with cream. After her workout, she will sip on a protein shake. "For lunch, I will have 4 to 6 ounces chicken salad or chicken over rice," she explained on Instagram. "For dinner, I will either have a lean red meat, like flank steak with vegetables, chili from my book, or the same kind of thing—chicken and rice vegetables or my fit-enchiladas from my first book.”

4. She Loves Frozen Meals From Trader Joes

Jessie always keeps frozen meals from Trader Joes on hand. "They are so good if I don't have time to make myself lunch," she told Women’s Health. "I get the Indian curry or butter chicken and rice meals, and they are so delicious and filling. I have stashes of them in the freezer in the garage. I never want to run out."

5. She Won’t Skip Workouts

Jessie doesn’t skip her workouts. “Got in at 1:30 am last night from shooting a music video( deets on that coming soon)! But I wasn’t about to miss my work out! Gotta get it in!!! Here’s some snippets from this morning💪 (also if I’m in charge of the music and Eric doesn’t take over, I play @nickelback to get my hyped,” she captioned a recent post. During recent vacations, she even hit her hotel gym to get her sweat on.

Whether they were celebrating Valentine’s Day or just vacationing in Turks and Caicos because it’s a day that ends in y, the celebrities were out in full force this week, a week that for most of us is the dead of winter. Victoria Beckham shared a throwback photo of her and Becks. Nicole Kidman wished her hubby Happy V-Day. Jesse James Decker posed in a swimsuit with her true love. And Nicole Scherzinger dressed for the occasion, in a heart-shaped dress. Read on to see all the ways these celebs stay 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. Jessie James Decker

Jessie James Decker is a mother of three and feels all the better for it. "I feel like I have more energy now and I feel more proud of myself because I had two kids and know I really accomplished something,” she told Self. "Every woman has those days where she nit-picks herself, but I feel like there are not as many as there used to be."

2. Kendall Rae Knight

“When I was first came out it was crazy to just go to the supermarket and get recognized; it just wasn’t something I was used to. But, on the other hand, it opened so many opportunities for me that I just thrived from it. I mean, I came out of the show first after only a week – but myself and my team grabbed the bull by the horns. I was a Boohoo ambassador, I’ve done photoshoots aboard - it’s been non-stop,” she said about becoming famous after Love Island, to Grazia.

3. Nicole Kidman

"I run, ride my bike, do yoga, whatever I can do and wherever I am in the world," she told the Los Angeles Times. "We try to exercise as a family, which makes it much easier to squeeze in among everything else and, of course, much more enjoyable.”

4. Victoria Beckham

Beckham shared her workout of the week, which included strength training. “One strength-training tip: Don't forget to breathe freely when you're lifting the weight. Most people think that they're breathing when they're doing strength-training exercises, but they may be holding their breath. It's important to inhale and exhale fully between each repetition. The key is to avoid straining when holding your breath. You may find it helpful to exhale during the more strenuous phase of the exercise and inhale during the less strenuous phase,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. Bebe Rexha

Rexha revealed she has felt bad about her weight. "I don't feel good in my skin and when I don't feel good, I don't want to post," she said. "And that's really honestly the reason I haven't been posting in the last year or so as much as I used to." But over the holidays, she shared some kindness about it. "To the person who is feeling down this holiday season, you got this and you will get through," she wrote in a tweet. "Sending you love."

6. Kady McDermott

“I love working out. Actually, in the last lockdown I went a bit crazy, I was doing like five or six sessions a week and I never normally do that, but I just genuinely really enjoyed it. I loved walking my dogs and making sure I have time off my phone. I get such headaches sometimes when I’m on it too much. I like doing little things like having a bath or a face mask, spending time with my friends,” she told Heatworld.

7. Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole is a protein eater, often starting the morning with eggs. "Eggs are an inexpensive source of protein, but they have many more nutritional attributes. Eggs are packed with B vitamins and vitamin D; in fact, whole eggs contain 6% of your daily intake of vitamin D which is difficult to find in food products," Meghan Sedivy, RD, LDN, Fresh Thyme Market's Corporate Registered Dietitian and Health & Wellness Strategy Manager, tells our sister site Eat This, Not That!. "Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption as well as bone and immune health."

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

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.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Hewitt tells People that she wants to be a role model for others. In it, she shared the advice she gives to young girls. “When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor. Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

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.

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

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.
