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.”

Dani Elle Speegle isn’t just strong—she’s unstoppable. The elite CrossFit athlete and social media sensation has built a massive following by sharing her intense training sessions and inspiring fitness moments. Recently, she posted a series of weightlifting photos on Instagram, proving once again why she’s a powerhouse in the gym.

“Just a girl and her barbell,” she captioned the post, letting her strength do the talking. From lifting heavy to outdoor adventures, here’s how Speegle stays in peak condition.

She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram post, Speegle is seen lifting weights. According to ACE Fitness, doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

She Golfs

Speegle likes to golf to keep herself in shape. She shared a video of herself on the course in this Instagram post. According to Randa aerobic exercise. “Golf can help strength and balance, improve quality of life and provide aerobic exercise. On a regular 18-hole course, most players will walk between four and five miles, burning up to 2,000 calories.”

She's Into Jumping Rope

Speegle shared this video on Instagram of herself competing in Crossfit events. In it, she is seen jumping rope. According to The Cleveland Clinic, jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Benefits of jump rope can help improve your coordination, get your heart rate going and help burn calories — and it’s an easy, affordable way to get some cardio in.”

She Hikes

Speegle likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking the Koko Head Summit. Speegle captioned the post, “Woke up and chose pain today. Every 45 min X 3 rounds: Koko head 💀💀💀 Then sat in my car and stared into the abyss while munching on Banan 🥲🥲🥲”

She Does Cold Plunges

Speegle makes sure to recover. One thing she likes to do is cold plunges. Speegle shared this video of herself jumping into a tub. According to The Mayo Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day. These benefits may be the result of rapid constriction of the blood vessels due to the cold water. The cold can trigger responses in your body, such as decreased metabolic activity, alterations in hormone production and blood flow, and activation of the immune system.”

Tvesa Malik isn’t just a pro golfer—she’s a powerhouse athlete dedicated to staying in peak shape. The SuperSport Ladies Championship winner knows that strength and endurance are just as important as skill on the course. That’s why she takes her fitness seriously, incorporating weightlifting, core work, and mobility exercises into her training.

Last year, Malik gave fans a look at her workout routine in an Instagram video, where she powered through hanging crunches, lunges, and weightlifting sessions. She captioned the post, “Got some major work to do before my next session,” proving that even elite athletes are always striving to improve. Here’s a closer look at how Malik keeps her body strong and ready for competition.

She Lifts Weights

Malik is seen doing a lot of weight lifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Lunges

Malik is seen shifting into lunges in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that lunges are a form of unilateral training, and that makes them effective. “Unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

She Does Core Workouts

Malik is seen doing core workouts, like hanging crunches in her Instagram video. Core workouts are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles. 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.”

She Does Pull-Ups

An upper body workout that Malik likes to do is pull-ups. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them at the gym. Malik captioned it, “Got some major work to do before my next session.” Asphalt Green says that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

She Golfs

Golf is obviously one of the ways that Malik keeps herself in shape. Better Health says that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Camila Guper is more than just a fitness influencer—she’s a motivation powerhouse. With 1.1 million Instagram followers, she inspires her audience with workout routines, wellness tips, and a disciplined approach to staying fit. Recently, she took to Instagram to share a glimpse of her latest gym session, including a stairclimber workout, a snapshot of her Apple Watch tracking her progress, and a post-workout mirror selfie in pink workout gear.

Her message? Consistency is key. “Don't underestimate the power of small, consistent actions! Every effort is worth it when you know where you want to go,” she captioned the post. From intense stair workouts to leg-sculpting exercises, here’s how Guper stays in top shape.

She Uses A Stairclimber

In her Instagram post, Guper is seen using the stairclimber. Stair workouts have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness says, “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”

She’s Consistent

Guper makes sure to stay consistent with her workout routines. One way she does so is by staying disciplined. Guper talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Good morning! May we always have the discipline to do what is good for us. Amen 💪🏽🙏🏽✨ 40 min stair + shoulder and chest workout today.”

She Does Lunges

Guper shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunges. According to The Mayo Clinic, lunges have a lot of benefits. “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.”

She Does Leg Extensions

In the previous Instagram video, Guper is seen using the leg extension machine. Asphalt Green says that leg extensions have a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

She Spends Time Outside

Guper likes to spend time outside. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a day by the pool with her dog. Guper captioned the post, “Good Morning! What book are you reading? 📖💚🐺🌮 I'm loving reading How to become super natural! I'm already sharing saying it's a must-read.”
