Now she’s wearing a swimsuit in a dressing room. “My job is weird,” she captioned a photo of the moment. (She doesn’t mention what she’s filming but it may be Hello Stranger, a thriller starring Simu Liu.) How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Jordana Brewster 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. This is Her Favorite Form of Self Care

“My favorite form of self care is—I can't pick one. It's two. I love meditating because I can do it anywhere. I can do it in a car—not if I'm driving, but I can do it in an Uber. It's a great way to just check in and just realize that everything else going on around you doesn't matter as much as your inner state. And then also baths. I love baths with bath salts and it's a great way to pamper myself.” “Mindfulness meditation stresses living in the present moment. The practice involves observing and being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judging them. You can practice mindfulness in any activity, such as doing the dishes,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. This is Her Definition of Wellness

“My definition of wellness is being balanced and constant and putting yourself first in a selfish way, like taking time to meditate and taking time to work out when you're juggling a lot,” she told Health.

3. She Runs

“Most people do well with a run-walk program. If you’re totally new to running, start with a routine of walking, gradually pick up the pace to brisk walking to increase your tolerance to the activity. Start by using minutes in length versus miles of walking or running,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Start with one minute of running alternating with two minutes of walking for a total of 20 to 30 minutes.Then increase running by 30 seconds each week until you reach 10 minutes of running.”

4. She Lifts Weights

“I also love lifting weights. I love squats. I'm a weirdo that actually enjoys working out. I really don't like Pilates; I can't do it well and therefore I don't like it cause I don't like anything I'm not really good at. And there's just something about, I just don't have the core strength. I don't know, but it just really annoys me,” she told Health. Muscle burns calories at a resting state. How cool is it to think that you can turn your body into a calorie-burning furnace just by adding resistance training to your program?

5. Here’s a Squat Exercise Inspired by Brewster

What to try squats yourself? Try this superset from personal trainer Mark Langowski:

1a. Squat into opposite-knee-to-opposite-elbow standing bicycle crunch. 20 reps. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes turned out slightly. Place your hands interlaced behind your head and make sure not to pull your head forward. Push your knees out as you descend and keep your chest up. Pause for a moment and, pushing off your heels, straighten your legs as you return to the starting position. Now tighten your abs as you immediately bring your right knee towards your left elbow as you exhale, and then lower your right foot back to the floor. Perform another squat and repeat the exercise, this time bringing your left knee to your right elbow. Total of 20 reps (10 to each side).

2a. T-Push Up. (Push up into rotation where you end in a side plank hold for 3 seconds. Total of 12 reps.

Place your hands on the floor about shoulder width apart, and extend your legs so your weight is balanced on your hands and toes. Your body should form a straight line from head to toe. Inhale as you bend your elbows to lower yourself until your chest is almost touching the floor, then exhale as you straighten your arms and push your body up. As you push up, lift your left hand off the floor and twist your body to the left, so that at the end of the movement you are supporting yourself with just your right hand and the side of your right foot; extend your left arm into the air so your body forms a “T”. Hold this position for 3 seconds, then twist back and lower your left hand back to the floor. Perform another pushup, this time twisting to the right and lifting your right arm off the floor. Perform 12 pushups, twisting six times to each side.

6. She Values Mental Health

Brewster believes in the “importance of tending to your mental health through therapy, through meditation, through self-awareness, through breathing techniques, whatever you can do is really really, important.

Brewster has amazing skin. She shared some of her tips to Forbes. Brewster says that she makes sure that she takes care of her skin throughout the day. “My skincare routine is very straightforward,” Brewster says. “I cleanse and moisturize twice a day and use a gentle facial exfoliator a couple of times a week. I always keep POND’S Towelettes in my car or purse as I tend to do a lot of mini touch-ups throughout the day.”

2. Subhead Goes Right Here

Brewster is all about self-care and relaxation. She shared some of her favorite things to do to Hello Giggles. “At the end of a long day, I always remove my makeup with Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser. It deep cleans melting away makeup but leaves my skin hydrated. I also love de-stressing from a long week with a really good facial with Shani Darden.

3. She’s Consistent With Skincare

In her Hello Giggles interview, Brewster was asked what her biggest skincare tip is. “Be consistent,” she answered. “Wash your face every morning and night, I like to use Pond’s’ Cold Cream Cleanser. Drink tons of water, 8 to 10 glasses a day. If you’re in a pinch to look good in a hurry, a little self-tanner goes a long way!”

4. She Doesn’t Obsess Over Her Weight Anymore

In an interview with Health Magazine, Brewster talked about the evolution of how she viewed her body. She says that she previously obsessed over her weight and health, and is working on changing this. “I am a control freak,” she says. “So I went through phases where I was obsessed with the number on the scale and I didn’t want to deviate. I was never anorexic, but I was definitely too controlled to be healthy.”

5. She Follows Her Own Rules

Brewster is all about doing what she wants. She tells Hello Giggles that she is no longer trying to follow what society thinks she should do. Brewster focuses on what she wants to do and feels right for her. “It’s nice to not have to follow the rules anymore. I believe in following my own timeline and this makes me feel really good about the path my life is taking.”

Jordana recently shared a video of her go-to workout with trainer Shannon Decker. While the strength training set was no joke, she actually used small weights the entire time. It consisted of moves like squats with weights, battle ropes, sit ups with weights, battle ropes with lunges, and rows.

4. She Works Out Early

Jordana prioritizes exercise, getting her workouts over in the morning. “I get up at, like, 5:15 a.m. every morning to run. I like treadmills—it hurts my knees too much to run outside. [My mom] is still a member at [a gym]. She’s in her mid-60s, and she works out. So I really got that from her, and I still defer to her,” she told Health.

5. She Eats Clean

Jordana likes to eat a clean diet and organic diet, focusing on whole foods. “I try to eat as natural as possible, and I try to eat organic,” she told Hollywood Life. “I also try to avoid processed food.” She also avoids sugar and revealed to Popsugar that she does most of her shopping at local farmer’s markets.

Jordana is a fan of al fresco workouts. "I like working out outside, and I love doing the Santa Monica Stairs; it’s one of my favorite things to do because I love the challenge. I love hiking outdoors," she told Popsugar. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

2. She Works Out Almost Every Day

"I work out six days a week," Jordana revealed to Hollywood Life. "I like to change up my workout so I never get bored." She also loves dance fitness.

4. She Eats Clean

Jordana eats incredibly healthy. “I try to eat as natural as possible, and I try to eat organic,” she told Hollywood Life. “I also try to avoid processed food.” Another things she tries to stay away from? Sugar.

5. She Doesn’t Drink Smoothies or Juice

Jordana doesn’t drink her calories. "I hate smoothies, and I hate juices," she revealed to Health. "I like chewing. So I steam tons of vegetables and add avocado. And then I have soup with chicken or salmon for at least one of my meals. And then I'm getting all my vegetables in one meal, and I don't really have to worry about it after that. So it's about checking in and making sure you're living as balanced a life as possible."

Jordana Brewster took the weekend off from saving the world with her pals from Fast & Furious to take a break in a red bikini. “Saturday,” she captioned the photo simply. How does the mother of two—who appeared in six Fast movies and had a hilarious part on The Other Two—stay so fit after 40? Read on to see 5 ways Jordana Brewster 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 Bikini Photos!


1. Here’s Her Take on Inner-Beauty

“I drink a ton of water, I try really hard to limit sugar, and I eat lots of vegetables,” Brewster told the New Potato. “I also sweat every day by running, lifting weights or doing circuit training. I practice meditation twice a day, which helps to calm me down and keep perspective.”

2. This is Her Training Regimen

“I’m very old-school when it comes to the gym. I have a treadmill and a little gym at home, so I like to get up early and work out. I’ll do cardio six days a week, and I really like weight training and boxing…it’s a great way to get all your stress out. I actually like it when my muscles ache and when I’m sore,” she told Men’s Fitness. “I’ve also been working with trainer Harley Pasternak for more than a decade, and he’s given me a great program. I work two different muscle groups per day, even if it’s 15 minutes. I love doing deadlifts and squats. I’ll use a TRX for pullups and hamstring curls, and medicine balls for abs work. I like mixing it up.”

3. She Once Said This is Her Perfect Day of Eating

“For breakfast, four shots of espresso over ice from Starbucks, and a homemade healthy breakfast sandwich consisting of a Thomas English Muffin, a slice of turkey bacon, egg whites, tomato and avocado,” she once told the New Potato. “For lunch, the chopped salad from La Scala or a Barney’s Beach Body Salad (Grilled chicken, beets, avocado) with a side of curly fries. For dinner, Craig’s Tito’s vodka martini and chocolate pizza.”

4. Here’s How She Got Through Quarantine

“I’m very lucky in that I’ve been doing FaceTime workouts with my trainer, Harley [Pasternak]. I also go on hikes, which is really nice. I need to get steps in. I need to be outside and breathing fresh air. I’m so lucky that I live in L.A., where I can do that, because otherwise I would go absolutely stir-crazy,” she told Health.

5. Here’s Her Take on Turning 40

“I really do see it as I’m so grateful to be here. I’m so grateful. I have two boys, and I’m still working. Thank God most of the women I look up to—like Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchett—are over 40 and are still working and thriving. So I feel like the only way to go is up from here,” she told Health.

6. She Meditates

"The Road to F9" Global Fan Extravaganza - ArrivalsDia Dipasupil/Getty Images

“I also like to do meditation and get myself outside for a workout—like hikes or going to the Santa Monica stairs. I think these days everyone’s so glued to their phone, and it’s so hard to be present and focused. Twice a day I practice vedic meditation [a type of meditation during which you take 20 minutes to focus on a specific mantra or sound—perfect for busy people], and it really helps me stay calm, have more patience with my kids, and be more present at work. It just gives me bandwidth. It allows me to recharge. It’s a necessity,” she told Men’s Journal.

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

She Changed Her Hair Color

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
