4. She’s All About Self Love

Grace has a lot of confidence in herself. She revealed her process to Muscle and Fitness. “One of the most important things to understand is that loving your body is really a process, it’s a day-to-day thing,” says Grace. “Look at your body as a whole, as opposed to ‘I hate how fat my thighs are’ or ‘I hate my stomach’ and stuff like that.

I’m sure a lot of people can relate to that, so I try to split that up to a different time in the day.”

Bryant opened up about her beauty secrets to E! Online. In it, she was asked what advice she would give herself at the start of RHOP, specifically with her looks. “I would just say ‘you do you,’” she says. “It's tough because for an entire season there are a lot of outfits with different hair and makeup. There's a lot for people to criticize. So, just don't take it too seriously. You just need to feel comfortable with whatever you wear. If you're comfortable, you can't go wrong.”

2. She Takes Travel Sized Skincare Products With Her

Celebrity Sightings In New York City - May 16, 2022Gotham/GC Images

Bryant shared her secrets for taking skincare products with her while traveling to E! Online. “I have everything in travel sizes. A beauty hack of mine is that when I go to my esthetician, I go ‘Where are the product samples?’ Always ask for the product samples. Those one-use packs of skincare products are great for travel. So, then I don't need to bring all of my products. I just have these little packs. I put those in my little bag so I don't have to bring my big makeup bag. Ladies, when you go to your esthetician, ask for samples. If they say they don't have them, they're lying.”

3. She Uses Nutrisystem

Bryant opened up about her secrets to weight-loss to E! Online. She says that she is working on eating better, and cites a specific meal service in particular. "I joined Nutrisystem and I'm an ambassador for them and that really, really helped me," she says. "With Nutrisystem, it gets delivered to your door, so I didn't need to worry about going out and buying all this junk, all this stupid stuff that I was eating...The pounds just literally fell off."

4. She Swims

Bryant shared one of her favorite workouts on an episode of RHOP. She says that she has started swimming a lot more. "I have incorporated, into my exercise routine, swimming," she says. "So I'm in a pool three times a week. And I know how to make my body better — all of this — by my swimming."

5. She Removes Her Makeup

Bryant tells E! Online that she makes sure to remove her makeup. She shared some of her favorite tips and products for doing so. "I have a lot of makeup on because it needs to hold up under the lights. I use the makeup wipes first. Then, I started using this balm from True Botanicals. The makeup melts right off. It's soft and it's kind of oily a little bit. It's heaven. It works so well. I wash my face with Cetaphil just to make sure all the makeup and dirt are gone. It's just a tried and true product."

Jordyn Woods, the socialite and model, is perhaps best known from Life of Kylie, but she’s got an enviable life of her own. That is evident from a new swimsuit photo, which she captioned: “heat wave @fashionnova.” “Oh ma gawd 😍,” commented model Katya Elise Henry. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jordyn Woods 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 Eats Lean Proteins

Jordyn has shown photos of her lean chicken, the core of any good meal. “Anywhere from 10 to 35 percent of your calories should come from protein. So, if your needs are 2,000 calories, that’s 200-700 calories from protein (50-175 grams). The recommended dietary allowance to prevent deficiency for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 g per kg of body weight. For example, a person who weighs 75 kg (165 pounds) should consume 60 g of protein a day,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Eats the Right Carbs

“Tell me it doesn’t look like pasta,” she once said of a photo of her spaghetti squash. Squash is a terrific pick. “More specifically, butternut squash offers some soluble fiber, which has been found to reduce appetite and calorie intake. One 2009 study in The Journal of Nutrition discovered that for every gram increase in total dietary fiber in women's diets, their weight decreased by 0.55 pounds. Another 2018 study in Eating Behaviors revealed that women who consumed more fiber lost more weight than those with a lower fiber intake,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

3. She Uses Resistance Bands

Jordyn uses BN_D resistance bands, which allow her to workout anywhere. “I'm always traveling,” she has said. “I'm always on the go and I wanna stay focused, but when I leave the country or just even leave the state, if I'm there for a week, a month, two weeks, however long, I don't wanna go find a gym, get a membership, leave the hotel even.” She added: “These are really, really good for building muscle and just toning, especially.”

4. She Does Squats

Using her bands, Jordyn does squats. Be sure to stand correctly. “Suitable stance width and foot placement angles should be chosen according to the targeted joint moments. In order to avoid injury, special care should be taken in extreme positions (narrow stand-42° and wide stance-0°) where large knee and hips joint moments were observed,” says one study.

5. Give Yourself Grace, She Advises

“Wellness Wednesday…I know I’ve been slacking on the fitness content recently but staying consistent this time of year is always challenging for me. I noticed I took a couple of weeks off and I had more anxiety and was more on edge so I had to get back on track,” she once posted. “This is just my reminder to those on your journey, just because you fall down, doesn’t mean you can’t jump back stronger. Give yourself grace.”

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.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
