Laura Anderson is heating up Dubai! The Love Island star shows off her famous curves in a pink swimsuit via her latest Instagram post, taking a dip in a pool while vacationing at the Palazzo Versace. The post garnered lots of comments from her fans, admiring her incredibly toned figure—"looks fabulous," said one. How does the star keep herself fit? Read on to see 6 ways Laura Anderson 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 Started Her Own Fitness Website

Laura started her own health, fitness, and lifestyle website, So-LA with her trainer Louise Carlsson since so many of her fans wanted to know all about her diet and workout secrets. On it, she reveals a lot of tips and tricks and also offers paid access to the exact training plan responsible for her fabulous figure.

2. Resistance Training Is Her Go-To Workout

“Since training with Louise, I’ve become a big fan of resistance training as part of my quest to become more toned,” Laura explains on her website. “Resistance training is an excellent way to round out your workouts if you already do cardio. It helps you build strength, improve tone, and even preserve muscle as you lose weight. It will also help you feel good about yourself and your physique,” she continued. “No matter the resistance exercises you choose, ensure that you stay consistent but vary the routine. Failing to vary the workouts and resistance means that you are not getting the full benefits. Try different things to vary your workouts and you will definitely be pleased with the results.”

3. She Drinks This Avocado Smoothie

Avocado,And,Banana,Smoothie,With,Oats,With,Ingredients,In,GlassShutterstock

Laura revealed the recipe to her go-to green drink on her website:

  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1/2-1 cup cold water/ dairy free milk of choice

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

4. Hiring a Personal Trainer Was a Game Changer for Her

In one of her blogs, Laura revealed that prior to training with Louise, she would “rather drink wine and sit and watch tv. Sorry to begin so bluntly but it WAS true. I'm a changed woman what can I say,” she explained. “I now genuinely love and need to get my sweat on. Not just because of the endorphins afterwards but because I have a goal. I want to change my body and increase muscle. Obviously, it helps as my PT is super sweet, educated and fit to look at haha (she's a girl) but it’s just finding that motivation.” If you can afford it, she suggests you should hire a personal trainer. “SHE is my motivation and I’ve just never had that before. So from that I would suggest if you're a woman and can afford a PT then however weird it may sound look for a fit female PT that you’ll trust more as you admire her body type. The same goes for a man, try a male personal trainer who’s physique looks like your end game.”

5. She Suggests Surrounding Yourself with “Like-Minded People”

If you want to get into shape, Laura suggests surrounding yourself by people with the same objectives. “It's also true that surrounding yourself with like-minded people helps to achieve your goals. Don’t be afraid to make new friends at the gym, as in the most positive way, sometimes our comfort zones with our friends can hold us back. I don’t know about you but I’m so easily influenced. Pizza night or gym? I'd do whatever my friend said, food for thought. Excuse the pun!” she said.

6. She Reminds That Self-Love Is An Inside Job

“I think it’s so important to remember without getting too sentimental that life is a gift and we're lucky to be here,” Laura writes in a recent post. “Most of us are healthy with a million opportunities to grow and be who we want to be if we choose to take a few chances along the way. It saddens me that as a society we put so much emphasis on looks. Vanity is dangerous territory in my opinion as I believe if you rely on your appearance and it suddenly changes you will break as a person. To succeed in life we need to be strong and strength comes from character. Beauty will always shine through and what is within you, will always win in every situation. Work on your inner self first, make it your priority to learn, be more patient, understanding and tough before stressing or comparing your exterior. Everything will fall into place. Remember the most important relationship you have is with yourself and it's not about that mirror and what’s staring back at you, it’s about the conversation you’re having in your mind because that's what gets you through your day and controls your emotions. We are all beautiful and we are meant to be different.”

2. She Does Bodyweight Exercises

Allen opened up about her diet and fitness in an interview with Women Fitness. She says that she likes to go to fitness classes. “I love the underlying competitiveness of classes at certain studios so I try and get to class around 3 times a week.

5. She Stays Motivated

Allen shared her secrets for staying motivated to workout in her Women Fitness interview. She shared three things that keep her motivated. “Setting myself goals. Whether it be a job I have to be prepared for or a physical goal I want to reach within my training, I know it’s not going to happen without the work going into it. Keeping track of progress is important. Looking forward to the rewards! When you’ve worked hard on reaching your goals and you finally reap the rewards that’s something in itself to remember. Pride and success. Endorphins. The same as everyone, there have been many a time when I can’t find the energy to go to the gym but knowing that I will feel a hell of a lot better about myself after class or a session, most of the time, gives me the kick up the bum to get there.”

On the Showtime hit series Yellowjackets, every one of the young stars is a breakout.

1. She Works Out, Sometimes With Her Mom

“Working out with mama!” Purnell captioned a pic of the two in a gym. “Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. They give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting,” says the Mayo Clinic. “So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, or do something with friends or family.”

2. She Trained for an Action Movie

For the movie Army of the Dead: “I went to the gym and did boxing lessons with my stepdad, but I’m just not that way inclined. I’ve got the upper-body strength of a spoon and I’m not very coordinated. I’d get told off because if I try to look cool, I’m doing something else weird with my limbs. When I was running, if I’m holding my gun with one hand, I’m doing gun hands with the other [laughs]. We spent time with these two nice ex-army dudes. They taught us how to shoot, move as a team and have each other’s backs,” she told Vogue.

3. Here are Sage Words About Mental Health

“I didn’t realise that with this support system that I’ve relied on to be there for me—my friends and family who love me and who I love—sometimes you have to tell them you love them. Now what I’m finding interesting is choosing how to spend my time and the people I surround myself with, and how that has a direct impact on my mental health. I had some big talks this year. I’ve got friends of 15 years and we haven’t had a deep conversation in five or six years. Time doesn’t stop like that very often and it won’t stop in the future, so it’s about taking that time out to do that,” she told Vogue.

4. This Was Her Comfort During the Early Days of the Pandemic

“White chocolate and raspberry muffins! [laughs] I was based in Los Angeles for the majority of lockdown. I was reading through my journal a couple of nights ago, and I was like, ‘Wow!’ I grew up. A lot of stuff went down in my personal life and I had to find hobbies. I’ve been working since I was nine years old. I feel like I was sort of deficient in other parts of my life. My relationships got stronger. I discovered that I love plants, painting and writing poetry. I went camping for a month in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. I learned a lot about myself and overcame some demons,” she told Vogue.

5. Here’s Her Take on Jackie and Shauna’s Relationship

On Yellowjackets, Purnell’s character and ’s character has an intense relationship, sharing secrets but hiding others, supportive while also undermining. "I think Jackie and Shauna are in deep-friend love…. Maybe some of the dynamics between them are a little more complicated because there’s a lot of jealousy and possession and codependence. And that comes up a lot in female friendships."

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.

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.”
