Kerry Washington is not just an actor; she is an activist. “Going green for #EarthDay! 💚 Buy some sustainable jewelry and help save the 🌱🌎!!! Today and tomorrow only, @auratenewyork is donating a % of proceeds to the Rainforest Alliance to help protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities,” she captioned her swimsuit snap yesterday. Do it! And: How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Kerry Washington 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 Does This First Thing in the Morning

“I’ve been really trying to practice the Oprah Winfrey ritual: I check in with gratitude and grace when I wake up. I can be in a little bit of a state of overwhelm and panic if I don’t start out being connected to grace and gratitude,” she told Glamour. "Other ways I reach out to others to express gratitude is to open doors for others, give compliments, say “hello” or “have a nice day,” give a warm hug, pay for a stranger’s meal or coffee, donate to a charity or send cards to loved ones for no particular reason. Other ways I connect to internal awareness is by surrounding myself with inspirational quotes, regular meditation, yoga, spending time in nature and journaling about how I want to feel and what I want to do in order to achieve those feelings," Dana Stewart is a licensed clinical social worker in Behavioral Health in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, writes in the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Uses Sunscreen

Washington has a good tip if you have kids. “A lot of the research that we’ve seen shows that it’s important to put sunscreen on your kids, but as one of the most important things we can do as parents and moms is apply sunscreen to ourselves,” she says. “That’s the act that makes kids the sun protectors of themselves. They’re much less resistant to having the sunscreen when they see us put it on ourselves first, and more likely to do it for their whole life.”

3. She Does Yoga

Washington shared video her doing Child's Pose, Happy Baby, Cat Cow, and other yoga poses. “The child's pose helps to stretch your back and muscles around your hips. In this pose, kneel and sit on your knees. Lean forward, keeping your buttocks on your heels, and rest your forehead on the floor. Move your arms so they're next to your legs, palms facing up. Inhale and exhale, slowly and deeply, for at least eight breaths,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Likes Deep Tissue Massages

“Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations,” reports the Mayo Clinic. “Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it is an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.”

5. She’s Done Pilates

"I've never met anybody who's taken Pilates and doesn't understand their own body better afterward," she told Women’s Health. "As women, we live in this culture where it's like, 'You have to fix this.' Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical."

6. She’s Inspired by Trailblazers

Washington admires “Jane Fonda, Cicely Tyson, and Diahann Carroll—those women are my lighthouses. Because their light was shining ahead, I knew where to go. They kept showing up for their art and values and that made me feel like I could bring all of myself to my work,” she told Glamour. “If society is telling us to look the other way, and you, as anybody from a disenfranchised community, are saying, 'My story matters,' that is an act of activism.”

“I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” Kerry told ELLE. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” Kerry told Women’s Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.”

2. She Does a Lot of Different Workouts

Kerry explained to Allure that she actually enjoys exercise, dabbling in lots of types. “I love to work out. It’s really important to me; it’s part of the culture of my family,” she said. Some of her other favorites include SoulCycle, yoga, Peloton classes, dance classes, Gyrotonic training, and the elliptical machine. “I do different things, but I’m most obsessed with water aerobics. Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.”

3. She Is Also a Yogi

Yoga helps Kerry “reset, regroup and relax,” she revealed in a recent Instagram post. “I love to do simple stretches and breathing that keep me centered, embodied and at peace.”

4. She Doesn’t Diet

Kerry refuses to diet. “In general in life I try to live it, not diet,” she explained to People. “I think that’s hard when you’re restricting a lot. So I try to take it easy on a daily basis and do what’s going to make me feel good.” Pilates instructor Nonna Gleyzer revealed to Shape that the actress “has always been an extremely healthy eater.” “She eats a lot of vegan products, with little clean meals throughout the day,” she said.

5. Green Smoothies and Coconut Water Are Her Drinks

Kerry explained to ELLE that nutritionist Kim Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, which is packed with spinach, celery, lemon juice, cilantro, and more, is one of her favorite drinks. “I try to keep it consistent year-round,” she said. Gleyzer added to Shape that she also hydrates with coconut water. “She loves coconut water, which gives her potassium and important electrolytes. With the long hours she works, there’s really no room for her to play around. She needs to be in the best shape every single day, and she definitely is.”

6. She Chugs H2O

“The things my mother always stressed were to drink a lot of water and get a lot of rest, which I used to roll my eyes at,” Kerry revealed to Oprah Magazine. “Now I think she’s a genius. Health and wellness really are the sources of beauty.”

7. She Usually Avoids Alcohol

“I’m also not a drinker,” she told Elle. “I love a drink occasionally, but I wouldn’t be able to handle it. You see one sip, but I have to drink three cups to get the scene done,” she said. “I tend to be a ‘when in Rome drinker.’ When I’m traveling, I drink what they have there or I’ll get a special cocktail.”

8. She Recently Starting Trampoline Cardio

Kerry was recently gifted a JumpSport trampoline by pal Eva Longoria. “Thank you @evalongoria for the #SisterhoodOfTheTravelingTrampoline. I promise I will keep jumpin’ so I can get on your level.

Kerry Washington is feeling the love – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest posts, the Scandal star shows off her famous figure in a burgundy bathing suit. “Sending you love comfort peace and resilience wherever you are,” she captioned the Instagram post. “This what you look like just chillin?!” commented Issa Rae. “Obsessed with you,” added another follower. How does the mother-of-one keep herself fit? Read on to see 6 of Kerry Washington’s workouts that help her stay in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Pilates

Kerry is a fan of this elongating workout. “I'm a big Pilates girl,” Kerry told ELLE. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” Kerry told Women’s Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.”

2. SoulCycle

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,02,,2023:,Kerry,Washington,At,TheShutterstock

“I love to work out. It’s really important to me; it’s part of the culture of my family,” she told Allure. One of her favorite classes? SoulCycle. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

3. Yoga

Kerry is a big fan of yoga, explaining that it helps her “reset, regroup and relax,” she revealed in a recent Instagram post. “I love to do simple stretches and breathing that keep me centered, embodied and at peace.” 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. Trampoline Cardio

Kerry is one of the many stars who have been seen hopping on a JumpSport trampoline, which was gifted to her by pal Eva Longoria. “Thank you @evalongoria for the #SisterhoodOfTheTravelingTrampoline. I promise I will keep jumpin’ so I can get on your level. You make it look easy!!!!!” she captioned a hilarious video of herself on the piece of workout equipment.

5. Water Aerobics

Kerry also likes to get wet and exercise. “I do different things, but I’m most obsessed with water aerobics. Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.”

6. Hiking

Another outdoor workout Kerry is obsessed with? “I love to hike,” she told Elle. “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.

Chelsea Green, the NXT superstar, recently finished up a vacation in the beautiful Maldives. While she’s there, she made sure to go to the island’s many different beaches. Green posted a new set of photos on Instagram of her trip. In the first photo, Green lounged on a hammock above the clear water. She wore a strapless tie-up bathing suit, showing off her body. She captioned the post, “Goodbye to the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Chelsea Green 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 Wrestles, Naturally

Green is a professional wrestler with NXT. Naturally, this is the main way she stays in shape. “I enjoy the physicality of being a wrestler,” Green told Fitness Gurls. “The bumps & bruises I get are the best part of my job. I look at those like I would’ve looked at a trophy for a kickass soccer game, or a medal for winning the 100m race. I’ve also always loved working out and seeing my body change, so now to be able to do that and be rewarded is amazing.”

2. She Swims

Green loves to swim as a way to stay in shape. She posts several beach and pool photos and videos on Instagram. She posted this video of herself snorkeling in the ocean, captioning it, “Under the sea.” She also posted this set of photos of herself in her hotel’s outdoor pool, captioning it, “No caption could do this view from our villa justice."

3. She Trains With Friends

To be a wrestler, Green has to train hard. Sometimes, she doesn’t just train alone, but with her friends. Green posted this photo on Instagram of herself and two of her friends at the gym. She captioned it, “New location, same death.”

4. She’s Consistent

A big part of Green’s wellness routine is consistency. “In wrestling, we have no offseason,” she explained to Fitness Gurls. “So unlike most sports, we don’t have time to binge eat or to take vacations from the gym. That in itself is a blessing and a curse. I constantly stay in the gym and make sure that my workout routines are ones that I can uphold 24/7 as opposed to fad diets.”

5. She Takes Rest Days

While Green trains hard, she also makes time for her body to recover. She tells Fitness Gurls that rest days are very important to her fitness routine. “There are plenty of injuries that come with my job. I’ve learned to workout around those, while also knowing when to just REST.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Hewitt tells People that she wants to be a role model for others. In it, she shared the advice she gives to young girls. “When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor. Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
