It’s Valentine’s Day, and singer Jessie James Decker and former American football wide receiver Eric Decker are making plans to celebrate it. Jessie posted a sweet photo on Instagram of the two of them cuddled up. She captioned the post, “Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life” and then...called him a lucky man. How does she stay so fit? 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 Has A Protein-Heavy Diet

After having her second child, Decker opened up about her diet to People. She said that she wasn’t trying to limit her food intake to lose weight. She also revealed that she was eating a lot of protein-rich food. “Never starve yourself,” she said. “Focus on protein, protein, protein.” Upping your protein isn’t just an athlete’s strategy for bulking up—it’s also the best way for all of us to slim down. After all, what do Rocky Balboa and Kim Kardashian have in common? They both rely on plenty of protein to get their bodies in tip-top shape. While Rocky chugged raw eggs before his a.m. runs, Kim K. revealed that she snuck protein into each of her meals and snacks to get back to her pre-baby weight.

2. She Drinks Lemon Water All Day

Decker opened up about what she eats each day to People, and she revealed some of her wellness secrets, including how she stays hydrated. Decker says that she likes to drink a lot of water with lemon each day. “As far as water I use this plastic 32 oz. mason jar hugs and keep them full with lemon all day long. I have 4 to 5 refills a day. It’s the only way I keep up with my water intake!”

3. She’s Been on The South Beach Diet

Decker is open about going on the South Beach Diet, especially having her three children. She told HollywoodLife that she went back on the plan during quarantine. “In quarantine I went for it, so that’s been pretty hard, but I feel like being a part of South Beach was what helped me then and I know that it works… South Beach makes the food for you, if you want that, and it’ll come right to your door, and you just put in your fridge or freezer. And that’s it, which is really awesome, and I’ll do that.”

4. She Brings Healthy Snacks On The Road

Whenever Decker travels, she says that she will bring healthy snacks and some of her South Beach bars, to avoid eating unhealthy food. “When I am on the road, I do grab the bars and the snacks to stay on top of it, that way I don't grab like a bag of Cheetos or something,” she says to E! Online.

5. She Gets In A Quick Workout Each Day

Decker tells E! Online that she tries to get in a quick workout, usually 20 minutes, each day, no matter where she is. "I always say, you just need 20 minutes a day. That is it. 20 minutes to do really fast circuits and you can bring some weights with you to work. I don't know, sneak where you are. I'll do it in the hotel room. There are many places you can do this, but you can write a list of little circuits to do, like 20 jumping jacks, 10 push ups, and you just do it over and over and over again until you break a sweat. 20 minutes, that's all you need."

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."

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.

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.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
