Polish actress Katarzyna Glinka doesn’t just work on her outer appearance—she focuses on her mental health, too. Glinka posted a photo of herself looking serene in a black and white bathing suit, saying she was enjoying some mindfulness. “When Leo sleeps in the morning I learn to meditate. It's not easy because I'm one of those who think too much - and that doesn't help with meditation. But you know what, I've been trying to observe the world since this morning. Looking at the specks. For how the day wakes up. Mindfulness helps to stop thoughts from flowing. And what's more interesting - time stops flying,” she captioned the shot. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Glinka 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 Loves Mexican Food

Glinka is a huge fan of Mexican food, and loves to cook it at home for her friends and family. “There’s a tremendous amount of confidence-boosting and self-esteem boosting, performing an act like cooking for others,” says Julie Ohana, a licensed masters clinical social worker and culinary art therapist. “And that’s part of what lends itself to those psychological effects about being able to do something that you feel really good about.”

2. She Meditates

Glinka likes to start her day with meditation. “If you have unproductive worries,” says Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, a psychiatrist at the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “You might think ‘I’m late, I might lose my job if I don’t get there on time, and it will be a disaster!’ Mindfulness teaches you to recognize, ‘Oh, there’s that thought again. I’ve been here before. But it’s just that—a thought, and not a part of my core self.’”

3. She Gets Spa Facials

Glinka takes care of her skin with regular facials, which she considers “me time”. “Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems,” says the Mayo Clinic. “To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Get enough sleep, set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.”

4. She Loves To Ski

Glinka enjoys taking skiing trips with her family. “Exercise can be a mental distraction from worrisome thoughts. We also know that being out in nature generally enhances our sense of well-being, so exercise that takes place outdoors, such as skiing in this study, should be especially helpful,” says James Maddux, a professor emeritus in the department of psychology at George Mason University in Virginia. “Engaging in a period of exercise can lead to a sense of accomplishment and a greater sense of self-efficacy (or self-confidence) that can lead to lower anxiety.”

5. She Enjoys Mango

Glinka loves to eat fruit, especially delicious mango. “Mangos are a good source of protective compounds with antioxidant properties, these plant chemicals include gallotannins and mangiferin,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Both have been studied for their ability to counter the oxidative stress associated with day to day living and exposure to toxins. As with other plant foods many of these compounds are found in and just beneath the skin. A 2012 study looking at the peel of mangoes concluded that it may play a role in preventing obesity, thanks to the plant chemicals located there.”

Meadow Walker, the American model, poses in nice clothes for a living and now she’s showing off a look of her own—a selfie in a swimsuit. The budding icon, the only daughter of the late Paul Walker (she continues his work through the charitable Paul Walker Foundation), looked toned as usual and captioned it with a simple shrug emoji. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Meadow Walker 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 Loves Yoga

Yoga helps Walker stay centered and flexible. One study, in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, looked at older women who did Hatha yoga once a week and found “that the applied yoga exercises increased spinal mobility and flexibility of the hamstring muscles regardless of age. Yoga exercises should be recommended to the elderly to make their muscles more flexible and to increase the range of motion in the joints, which is particularly important for improving their life quality.”

2. She Says “Do What Makes You Feel Good About Yourself”

"Do what makes you feel good about yourself and try to shut out the rest," Walker told Vogue. "I'm not the most confident person in the world, but I have to bring myself back to that. If you keep those feelings of insecurity and not feeling confident in your head too long, it becomes so real."

3. She Meditates

“Mindfulness is one of the most popular meditation techniques. It has two main parts: attention and acceptance,” says the American Psychological Association. “The attention piece is about tuning into your experiences to focus on what's happening in the present moment. It typically involves directing your awareness to your breath, your thoughts, the physical sensations in your body and the feelings you are experiencing. The acceptance piece involves observing those feelings and sensations without judgment. Instead of responding or reacting to those thoughts or feelings, you aim to note them and let them go.”

4. She Enjoys Acupuncture

“Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.”

5. This is Her Earliest Beauty Memory

“Growing up and seeing my cousins, who were really just my mum's friend’s kids. They were quite a bit older than me. I was seven and they were probably 12, and I remember always seeing them with their makeup and I was like, ‘I want to use it,’ but I was too little. I thought it was so glamorous—the clear mascara and those flavored lip glosses,” she told Vogue.

1. She Gets Meditative

“I like to write down affirmations and manifestations and usually before bed, I turn on meditative music. It puts me in a lost mind state to be free of stress and thought,” Camille told Us. Before bed, “Wake up about the same time every day. Go to bed only when you're sleepy. Establish relaxing pre-sleep rituals, such as a warm bath, light bedtime snack or 10 minutes of reading,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Don't drink alcohol, especially if you're sleepy. Even a small dose of alcohol can have a potent effect when combined with tiredness.”

2. She Hopes You Love Yourself

“You don’t have to love everything that you are doing but love who you are inside and grow together and literally talk to yourself,” she told Sports Illustrated. “Have that inner dialogue, look at yourself in the mirror, write it down, go through all of these things that you are processing in your mind all the time.”

3. Here’s How to Keep a Level Head

“My greatest advice is to not compare yourself to other people,” she told SI. “It’s a whole other life that you live every day when you wake up when you accept where you are in your life.” She added: “Even if that means that you are unhappy with the weight that you’re at; if you’re unhappy with the career that you’re in; if you’re unhappy, that’s O.K.”

4. Here’s Her Meal Advice

"I get asked A LOT about my diet, what I eat in a day, what my restrictions are etc.," Camille wrote, according to Fox News. "Here is the MAIN takeaway from these questions. I have been living this way for years: I don’t count calories, I count chemicals." She added: "It’s always been my goal to eat as clean as possible as much as possible…Making meals/snacks/drinks with ingredients I know and understand. When I’m out to eat this is much harder/or on the road at airports/on sets etc and I allow myself to eat unhealthy when I’m in a mood to and ENJOY IT."

5. She Hits the Spa

“Rob and I are always on the go in our careers, so having a day in the week dedicated to a date at the spa is one of the best ways for us to relax together. It’s a nice space to clear our bodies and minds from all of the people and places we encounter day in and day out,” she told Us.

1. She Is Real About Her Body

Catherine doesn’t believe in pretending that her body is perfect. “I woke up today and thought I want to be a bit more real on here.. so I took these photos,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I train almost everyday and am careful of what I eat, I’m aware this isn’t very bad or “poor me” etc but I’m just showing i have loose skin after 2 kids that is wrinkly and crepey and yes sometimes it bothers me because it isn’t the Instagram version of “perfection” I am always seeing. I am my biggest critic and can be super harsh on myself always thinking of trying to be perfect, I’ve struggled with a weight complex my whole life but As I’m getting older I’m becoming more aware that if I as a fully grown adult woman can be so impacted by the Instagram version of perfection how will our young daughters be ? What pressure will they feel? I think it’s important to not let the idea of perfection be confused with being the best version of yourself. I’ve personally struggled with this a lot but am learning to accept myself more. I grew two beautiful children inside that stomach and yes it’s crepey and wrinkled when I squash it together 😂 but so what? It’s real life ✌️ Just thinking let’s try embrace our flaws more and accept ourselves fully.”

2. She Does Pilates

Catherine’s favorite workout is pilates. “Keep moving, keep stretching 🙆‍♀️ Back in my happy place,” she captioned an Instagram post of herself on her reformer. In another post she thanks her pilates instructor, Holly Bramley for helping her “stay toned, flexible and strong,” she writes. “Your classes are so challenging I love it!”

3. She Does Yoga

Catherine also does yoga. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. She Soaks in Hot Water

Catherine enjoys soaking in hot water, in a jacuzzi or bathtub. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

5. She Does Cold Plunges

In her latest post, Catherine reveals that she “is on a real health kick at the moment trying new things and just posting this to be accountable.” In the photo she sits in a freezing cold bathtub for four minutes. “It feels good,” she gushes after getting out. “Such a weird sensation that comes all over your entire body."

Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
