Model and actress Karrueche Tran is on holiday in a beautiful, far-flung location—and she’s got the snaps to prove it. Tran, 35, shared pictures of herself modeling two different bathing suits—one with a yellow top and green bottoms, and another peach-colored two-piece. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tran 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. Hot Yoga and Weight Training
Tran trains at least three times a week. “I do hot yoga and barre classes,” she says. “Barre is good for the thighs and the booty, and I’m all about the booty. I also work with a trainer in the gym. I use machines. I do squats and sumo squats with the bar on my shoulders, and lunges with dumbbells.”
2. No Red Meat
Tran sticks to a vegetable-rich diet with plenty of water. “I cut out red meat and pork,” she says. “I want to be slim thick: slim but still kind of thick at the same time. Because if I go on a strict diet, I become too thin, and I lose all the fat in my body. I’ve been eating more vegetables. I love kale now. Oh, and I drink lots of water. Water’s like my best friend.”
3. Building Up Glutes

Tran trained for her role as a dancer on TV show Claws. “We wanted to build the booty up and make my stomach flat,” she says. “But I didn't want to be perfect—we're all real women. We're not perfect. I worked hard, but I wanted to look realistic."
4. Squats and Resistance Bands

Tran learned to enjoy exercises she never liked by working with a personal trainer. "I wasn't into training or working out before this,” she says. “Now I like squats; I like working with the resistance bands. I really like working with someone one-on-one!"
5. Simple Beauty Routine

Tran’s beauty routine is simple yet effective. “I’m a shower person. Even if I showered at night and I’m going to the gym in the morning, I’ll do a quick shower in the morning,” she says. “So I’ll wash my face with Tatcha Rice Wash. Let’s just say it’s a regular day, and I’m not doing a photo shoot or anything like that. I’ll use the Dior Capture Totale Serum and the moisturizer together. That’s kind of it!”
