It’s not just Thanksgiving we have to celebrate this week; it’s also Robin Roberts' birthday, and paying tribute is her co-star on Good Morning America, Lara Spencer. “Happy birthday to the one and only. Hope you guys are celebrating in your happy place with your clan right about now. Just remember—-Coco!!! Wolfpack!! We will take it to the court soon. Love you to the moon and back,” she wrote, captioning an Instagram photo of the pair in swimwear. How do Spencer and Roberts stay to fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see 6 ways they stay 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. Spencer Plays Tennis

Lara frequently posts about playing tennis—including recently, when the ball got stuck in her racket. "Can someone tell me the odds of this happening? Clearly I was not watching the ball when I went to volley considering it went nowhere near my strings and instead I actually caught the ball w my racquet!!!!! I don’t think I could do this in a million years on purpose!! Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today too? #playwinlunch #tennis” she wrote.

2. Roberts Was Told She Had Two Years to Live

Roberts was diagnosed with a blood and bone marrow disease called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). “I was told I had less than two years to live if I did not have a successful bone marrow transplant,” Roberts says. “When fear knocks, I answer the door with faith—that this too shall pass and I’m going to get through it.”

3. Spencer Had a Hip Replacement

Initially, Spencer, an athlete, was discouraged by the news that she needed a hip replacement. But then: “I was like, okay, I’m going to approach this like any other sport in my life,” she told ABC News. “I’m going to kill it.” "It was embarrassing to share and then I realized there is nothing to be embarrassed about," she said. "I have a genetic predisposition for this but if you're athletic and you move, it's happening younger and younger." She added: "There is no ignoring it at this point," she said of the pain. "I just want to say anybody out there who suffers with chronic pain, I feel you. It takes over your life. It affects you emotionally, mentally, physically. You cannot sleep. It’s hard to think about. It’s gnawing at you all the time." "What I wish I would have done is just taken care of this sooner and spoken up," Spencer added.

4. Roberts Says Women Have to Be Their Best Health Advocates

“As women, we have to be our best advocates,” Roberts told Parade. “We can’t be afraid to raise our hand and say, ‘I need help.’ As women, we want to be the caretakers. I can’t tell you how many women reach out to me in the throes of having a transplant or cancer, and they’re worried about their loved ones. I say, ‘What you can do is let them care for you. That’s the biggest gift you can give them. Because I guarantee you, you’ve always been the giver, and they want to do something in return.’”

5. Spencer Eats Like This

“I eat what I want, in moderation,” she told Parade. “I gravitate toward fresh veggies and clean foods, thankfully, but I am also a sucker for a cupcake every once in a while. I make sure to eat lots of kale, broccoli, blueberries, strawberries and spinach.”

6. Roberts Says Be Good to Yourself

“Be mindful of what you’re saying to yourself,” Roberts told Parade.

I’ll take pictures with people at the studio, and afterwards, I always say, ‘Be good to you.’ Everything begins with how you speak to yourself. Sometimes we’ll say things about ourselves to ourselves that we would never even utter to a stranger. What you think and say, you can become. And that’s good or bad.”

KeleighSperryNina Dobrev/Instagram

Sperry spends a lot of time outside. She shares a lot of outdoor photos on her Instagram page. She shared these photos on Instagram from a trip to Tahoe. In them, she enjoyed time on a boat, and went on walks. Sperry also enjoys the cold weather. She shared this photo and video on Instagram of herself playing in the snow. "Whether it is a park in your neighborhood or exploring the vast landscapes of national forests and grasslands, there are benefits to be had when we step outside," says the Forest Service. “Wellness is wholistic in that it is comprised of physical and mental health as well as the health of our communities,” Michelle Kondo, a research social scientist with the USDA Forest Service's Northern Research Station, told them. “All of these benefits add up and reduce adverse impacts on our bodies, and have restorative characteristics. So get outdoors and enjoy nature’s gift of wellness.”

2. She Swims

Sperry does a lot of outdoor physical activities to stay in shape. One thing she loves to do is go swimming. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself snorkeling with a whale. She captioned it, “Whale watching.” Sperry also posted this photo of herself and Teller in the water. She captioned it, “All I need in this life of sin.”

3. She Goes Rafting

Sperry doesn’t just like to swim when she spends time by the water. She also likes to go rafting. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself going on a rafting trip with her friends. Sperry captioned the post, “This is not Disneyland, so fun!”

4. She Speaks Out

Sperry isn’t afraid to speak out about what she believes in. She shared this post on Instagram supporting Ukraine. She captioned it, “This is my friend @kseniya__stone, after spending the last few days and nights with her in just absolute despair, devastating call after call. Hearing from her family stuck in Ukraine, was absolutely heartbreaking. Ukrainians are strong and United while facing this unreal war. If Ukraine stops fighting there will be no Ukraine. One of the tragic yet beautiful calls from her sibling who was trying to flee and stay with her family, was going to go back in and fight to stand strong against PUTIN. That’s the character and moral of Ukrainians. Women refusing to leave as their husbands prepare to fight back.They are beautiful and strong, this will be the biggest refugee situation this century. Please donate, and to @kseniya__stone we stand with you, we stand with Ukraine.”

5. She Bikes

Another outdoor activity Sperry enjoys doing is going on bike rides. She likes to go riding with Teller at times. Sperry posted this photo of the two of them riding at the Mt. Batur Volcano in Bali on Instagram. She captioned it, “Trekking the world with you.”

Turner is comfortable with her body. She tells Female First, "I'd love to be one of those people born with a curvy, toned figure, but I'm happy with my shape. I don't really care. And I wouldn't like to be stick thin." "Once you've learned which situations affect your self-esteem, notice your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and how you view the situations. Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts. Or they may be irrational, based on false ideas. Ask yourself if these beliefs are true. Would you say them to a friend? If you wouldn't say them to someone else, don't say them to yourself," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Trained For A Role

To prepare for her role in Our Girl, Turner had to get in shape. She revealed her process to The Mirror. “I did quite a bit of basic training like running and going to the gym. I thought I was quite fit until I got to Pirbright. I was talking to one of the soldiers and watching them do the assault courses.”

3. She Doesn’t Have Regrets

Turner doesn’t second guess her decisions. She tells The Mirror that she has no regrets, especially when it comes to career choices. Turner talked about her departure from EastEnders in the interview. “I miss it but I’ve never regretted leaving. I try not to have regrets. I feel if you’ve done something then the decision has been made and you should move on.”

4. She Doesn’t Restrict Herself

Turner is open about how she isn’t the healthiest eater. However, she tells The Mirror that she is working on a new eating plan. Turner says that she tries to not restrict herself too much on any diet, and that her current plan allows her to do that. “What I really like about my current diet is that I can have bread,” she says. “But with this you can have crumpets. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out! And you can have honey on it, yoghurt, berries. You can even have mayonnaise.

5. She Speaks Out

Turner supports a lot of different causes. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram that highlight causes she wants to bring attention to. Turner shared this post for a domestic violence helpline.

One of Lara’s favorite workouts involves slipping on her swimsuit. "I enjoy swimming laps—it's a great workout and also allows me to get into a meditative state so it's very relaxing. I love the quiet and the rhythm of swimming. I do it quite a bit in the summer, but not very much in the winter," she told Parade.

3. Strike a (Yoga) Pose

Lara loves doing yoga year-round. "I turn to yoga, preferably in a warm room, during the cold months. I do yoga year round but find myself craving it more in the fall and winter,” she told Parade. "A number of studies have shown that yoga may help reduce stress and anxiety. Yoga can enhance your mood and overall sense of well-being. Yoga might also help you manage your symptoms of depression and anxiety that are due to difficult situations," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Paddle Board

Lara is also “really into” another water sport – paddle boarding. “It's an incredible workout for the arms and core, and a great way to get out on the water," she told Parade. Any kind of cardio is great for you. “The idea of boosting intensity—which can result in greater improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness—is important not only if you're an athlete but also if you're an average, everyday [person] looking to maintain a higher quality of life,” says Martin Gibala, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at Canada’s McMaster University. “For a higher health span, not just lifespan. We need to worry about health span, and that's basically optimal physical activity in order to maintain your health.”

5. Play Tennis

Lara also loves to pick up a racquet. "Last but certainly not least, I play tennis year round,” Lara told Parade. “As a former athlete, I love the competition. I play both singles and doubles and would play every day if I could! I wish I had known about tennis as a kid. Unlike platform diving, it's a sport I can play for the rest of my life.”

6. Fuel Up in the AM

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for Lara, mostly due to the fact that she gets up so early. She revealed to Shape that she starts her day with cereal and coffee. Since your body is complex factory that’s humming along, you’ve got to compensate your workers to keep them happily working at peak efficiency. That means ensuring a steady supply of food throughout the day—every day. And if you’re eating the right foods—not empty calories or sugary treats—you’ll find that it’s almost impossible to overeat.

Isabelle Mathers
Isabelle Mathers/Instagram

Isabelle Mathers knows how to turn fitness into fashion. The influencer and model has built a massive following through her stylish collaborations, and her latest collection with CSB is no exception.

Recently, Mathers gave fans a glimpse of her go-to workout looks, modeling sleek two-piece sets in soft toffee and blush tones. The brand captioned the post, “Our fit checks until further notice 🤎 toffee & blush by @isabellemathersx now live.” While she looks effortlessly chic, her fitness routine isn’t just about style—it’s about fueling her body with the right foods and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

From nutrient-packed meals to balanced eating habits, here’s a look at how Mathers stays in top shape.

She Loves Avocado

Mathers makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She shared some of her favorite foods in an Instagram story highlight. In this photo, she is seen eating a salad with avocado. The Cleveland Clinic says that avocado is very healthy. “Avocados are a good source of fiber, which is a type of carbohydrate that your body can’t break down. You need both soluble and insoluble fiber — and lucky for you, avocados have both.”

She Loves Cucumbers

In the previous Instagram story, Mathers included cucumbers in her salad. Cucumbers are very good for you. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Yes, cucumbers are a great part of a healthy diet! Cucumbers belong to the gourd or Cucurbitaceae family, along with pumpkins, squash and melons. This low-calorie fruit (yes, a fruit — it has seeds and grows from a flowering plant!) is chock-full of water and other nutrients, including fiber, vitamins A, K and C, potassium and calcium.”

She Loves Tomatoes

Mathers also put tomatoes in the salad in her Instagram story. According to The Cleveland Clinic, they are very good for you. “One cup of tomato juice offers 45 milligrams of vitamin C — about 75% of an adult’s daily needs. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps boost your body’s immune cells that fight infection and prevent free radical damage to your healthy cells.”

She Loves Lettuce

Mathers naturally included lettuce in her salad. Lettuce is really good for you. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Lettuce is chock-full of antioxidants. These food chemicals protect you against free radicals, which cause inflammation and may contribute to eye diseases, diabetes and other chronic conditions. Research shows that eating a small side salad before your main course can help you feel fuller. As a result, you eat fewer calories during your meal. Findings suggest that starting your meal with a salad can lead to weight loss or help you maintain a healthy weight.”

She Loves Tuna

Lastly, Mathers included tuna in her salad. Safe Beat says that tuna has a lot of health benefits. “Tuna is rich in potassium, which is known for lowering blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids in combination with potassium bring an anti-inflammatory effect to the cardiovascular system, which in turn benefits us by lowering blood pressure, risk of stroke and heart attacks.”

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.

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.”
