Laura Whitmore is a TV personality, best known for her appearances on Love Island, This Morning, and Celebrity Juice. She was also a VJ on MTV. Whitmore just shared a new set of photos on her Instagram story. In one, she posed in a red bathing suit, her amazing figure on display. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Laura Whitmore 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 Believes In Balance

Whitmore talked about her wellness routine to Women’s Health. She opened up about her diet and approach to alcohol. “I believe in balance - rather than cutting things out. Although, a positive side effect of falling pregnant was that I had the opportunity to reset my relationship with alcohol. I definitely drank a lot during the first lockdown - I thought it would last only three weeks, and it was a novelty being home so much. But having a glass of rose wine in the evening to distinguish night from day is a habit you can only maintain for so long. You really can’t drink every day of the week. Then, during the other lockdowns, because I was expecting, I cut out alcohol entirely. Now having a pint at the pub feels like an exciting treat.”

2. She Schedules Workouts

Whitmore says that one of her secrets to exercising is making sure to schedule sessions ahead of time. “I’ve come to the conclusion that exercise has to fit around my life, or I won’t regularly be able to incorporate it into my busy schedule,” she tells Women’s Health. “That means rather than go to the gym for an hour to workout by myself, I’ll do yoga and dance classes with friends.”

3. She’s Spending Less Time On Her Phone

Whitmore tells Women’s Health that she is working on spending less time on her phone. “My relationship with my phone has been tricky at times, and it’s been a source of stress and anxiety. The ‘ding, ding, ding’ is quite triggering, so I’ve taken steps to create space. I’ve turned off all notifications so that I only look at messages or social media when I purposely want to, and sometimes I’ll turn my phone off and put it away so I’m not tempted to reach for it. It’s helping me to be more present - I no longer mindlessly scroll, and when I’m watching a film I now don't miss half the plot while looking up an actor on IMDb.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Whitmore opened up about her favorite skincare products to Women’s Health. “Skincare has become a ritual for me, and I’m taking it more seriously as I age. I’m a fan of products by the brand Alumier MD. And I'll look out for creams containing SPF, as I'm so fair. I also take my make-up off properly, with a cleanse, tone and moisturise, rather than face-planting the bed after a night out.”

5. She Focuses On Herself

Whitmore tells Cosmopolitan that she is focusing on herself. "The one thing I've learned is don't give advice, because everyone's journey is completely different,” she says. "And don't compare – whether you go back to the size you were beforehand, whether you don't, whether you're smaller or bigger, it doesn't matter, because again, everyone's journey is different."

1. Gal Gadot

Actress Gal Gadot went for a swim this week, and posted a stunning duo of photos on Instagram. In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Gadot broke down her training for her role as Wonder Woman. She revealed that she did a lot of new exercises to help her prepare. “I incorporated pilates into my workout routine, because I feel like there's something so holistic about pilates, and opening your rib cage and actually focusing on breathing."

2. Bella Thorne

Actress Bella Thorne has never been afraid to show off her body. She posted a new reel on Instagram of herself enjoying a day on a boat in Cabo, while wearing a white bikini. Thorne has this body for a reason. She told HollywoodLife that she didn’t let the pandemic stop her from living a healthy lifestyle. She says that she did a lot of at-home workouts, citing, “Yoga, some weight training, and a bit of boxing,” as her favorites.

3. Rebecca Judd

Model Rebecca Judd took a trip to gorgeous Whitehaven Beach, and she broke out a black bikini for the occasion. Judd tells BodyAndSoul that she makes sure to check in with herself during her busy days, and does things that help her deal with stress. “I’m always conscious of checking in on myself and how I’m feeling and thinking. I have strategies I use when I’m feeling stressed or struggling to focus. They usually involve deep breathing or doing an at-home pilates class or other little things like writing lists and putting my phone away so I’m more present with my children.”

4. Alyssa Milano

Wellness is extremely important to actress Alyssa Milano, and she revealed her definition of it to The Cut. “It’s an overall sense of feeling good, whether that be mentally or physically or health-wise. Just feeling good about who you are and the choices you make. Honestly, I think it’s really important that we take care of ourselves, and with the amount of things that I juggle in a day, as far as trying to balance motherhood and being a working mom, I don’t think I could do it without a sense of wellness.”

5. Liberty Poole

Love Island and Dancing on Ice star Liberty Poole spent time in a jacuzzi this week. In the photo she posted on Instagram, Poole’s incredible skin was on display. She has this gorgeous skin for a reason, and broke down her skincare routine and tips to Closer Online. "I love a melt-on-skin cleanser that helps remove all your make-up and a really great moisturiser is key. I use the Simple Moisturiser, because it does a nice job and is a really good price, too. On my lips, I always just use Vaseline, which helps keep them juicy, especially in winter. I also can't get enough of the Soap & Glory 3-in-1 body wash, it's incredible, you can even use it to shave."

6. Hilary Rhoda

Model Hilary Rhoda celebrated her birthday this week, and she posted a photo on Instagram of herself in a pink bikini to celebrate. Rhoda revealed a lot of her exercise secrets to Elle, and she says that there’s one fitness class she’s a big fan of. “I love SoulCycle. I don't know if you can still even call it a trend at this point because it's been around for a long time now. For me, I never get sick of it. It's just a great workout. It's so convenient too because they're all over the city and they're every hour, so you can go after work, before work, on your lunch break, any time.”

7. Gemma Atkinson

Actress, author, and BBC radio host, Gemma Atkinson, rocked a pale green bikini on Instagram this week. In an interview with GettheGloss.com, Atkinson revealed some of her workout secrets, including that she likes to plan out her workouts for the next day. “I write my programme down the night before, and find the workout sets me up for the day, and helps give me some structure. It really helps to give me focus and provides a boost of natural endorphins.”

8. Charlotte Crosby

Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, enjoyed a pool day this week, and she wore a strapless brown one piece there. Crosby opened up about her wellness secrets in an interview with NowToLove. She revealed that she isn’t afraid to have some “cheat days”, once in a while, and that they help her stick to her healthy lifestyle. “You don't have to be stupidly disciplined. It's about having a balance of everything. It's important to allow yourself a cheat day or two, otherwise you have more chance of quitting altogether. It's good to have that one day where you eat what you want, because then you work towards it.”

She captioned the post, “The best feeling.” "Are you ready to take the plunge and try a new fitness activity? How about water exercise?

Love Island winner Millie Court knows how to take the perfect picture and she’s showing off her skills on social media. The British star posted a series of photos of herself wearing an animal print bikini as she posed by the pool in a luxury villa. “All about the angles and pose gals… 🤪😂,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Court 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. Fresh Orange Juice To Start the Day

Court loves to indulge in a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice to kick start her day. “Oranges contain health-promoting compounds known as flavanones,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Research suggests that these phytochemicals help support the body and protect us from conditions such as heart disease and cancer – they’re also thought to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antimicrobial benefits. What’s more, orange peel actually contains higher amounts of certain nutrients than the flesh, so using recipes that incorporate the zest of an orange will give your diet an extra boost.”

2. Meghan Markle Is Her Makeup Inspiration

Court is inspired by Meghan Markle’s “flawless” skin and makeup, and tries to emulate her natural aesthetic. “Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural,” she says. “At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use. My staple foundation is Too Faced, but I do switch between Fenty and L’Oreal Infallible. For Concealer I use Revolution or Nars Cream Concealer. I also use Nars blusher, Benefit Hoola Bronzer and Mac Blusher.”

3. She Is True To Herself

Court is now a household name—but she stays down-to-earth. “Obviously, life has just really changed,” she says. “I've realized how important it is to have your friends and family close. Coming out and seeing the papers and people's opinions, I think everyone could see I was genuine in there and just really normal. I love to laugh, I love a drink – I'm a true Essex girl and I think people could see that. So, no matter what happens, I just want to make sure that Essex is still inside me, that I stay true to myself and just enjoy what is happening at the moment!”

4. Dieting Made Her Miserable

ITV Palooza! 2021 - ArrivalsKarwai Tang/WireImage

Court felt under pressure to lose weight before going on TV, something she now regrets. “I’ve always been [before Love Island] fluctuating between a size 8 and 10, but most of the time a size 10,” she says. “I was so happy with the way I looked, I didn’t think twice about it. On the weeks leading up to Love Island I felt the need to lose several pounds because I knew I was going to be surrounded by beautiful slim girls. I worked out every single day and ate salad for lunch and to tell you the truth I was miserable whilst doing it. I’d changed whilst I was on the show for several reasons that’s probably for another story time. But I went from a size 10 to a 6, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy etc) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I MISSED them.”

5. She Loves Her Curves

Court put on weight after leaving Love Island, and couldn’t be happier with her new curves. "There was a point where people thought I was pregnant because I was putting on loads of weight," she says. "When I was on Love Island I was a size 6 but now I’m a size 10. But I prefer me as a 10 because I’ve got my [chest] back, I’ve got my bum back and I’ve got curves. So, I don’t really care what the newspapers have got to say about me being a size 10."

Emily Ratajkowski is steaming things up south of the border – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the model dances around in a red bathing suit with her pal Ziwe, attracting lots of attention. “Escaped to Mexico just for TikTok,” she writes. “Guess we live here now.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are 5 habits responsible for her gravity-defying body.

Yoga

Emily appreciates a zen form of fitness. “I don’t have a trainer, and I don’t really go to the gym,” she told The New York Times. “I’m just not a crazy fitness person. I’m definitely an outlier in the industry,” she added. “And doing yoga a couple of times a week is a really big part of my regimen.” 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.

Baths

Emily regularly shares bath photos on her social media feed. found helpful in minimizing anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits. And did you know they are a form of exercise? According to Loughborough University research published in the journal Temperature, relaxing in a hot bath can burn as many calories as a 30-minute walk, about 140 calories.

Sleep

Emily makes sure to get a good night’s sleep "For me, the way I sleep afterwards is one of the main reasons to work out. I am always on my phone working and I think that's affected my sleep. I'm also really light-sensitive. When I work out, it's better than taking a melatonin. Because my body has worked hard, my brain finally rests and I think that is so valuable in this day and age — not to sound like an old geezer, but truly I feel that way," she told InStyle.

Long Walks

Emily gets her steps in and also hikes. “I go on long walks and hikes with my girlfriends,” she told the New York Times.

Gym Classes

You might find Emily in a group fitness class. “I'm one of those people who, if I go to the gym by myself, there's a 50/50 chance of me actually working out and really pushing myself, so the class environment works really, really well for me,” Emily told InStyle. “I am also someone who, even in a class, will get chatty and [distracted]. I think that’s the great thing about STRONG — the music keeps me really focused and in the zone,” she continues. “You just feel like you're, you know, Superwoman really pushing herself. You end up working harder and it's a better, more intense workout, without even noticing.”

Madigan responded to the comment in the caption. “We couldn’t care less if men can lift more than us, we will NEVER STOP 👊🏼 We have the discipline to train for years and years and YEARS and yep still only being able to lift a weight that maybe a teenager boy can lift… This is the nature of being a woman and we aren’t crying about it… we are still in the gym every single week pushing ourselves regardless!”

She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram video, Madigan is seen lifting weights. ACE Fitness says that this has a lot of 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.”

She Doesn’t Compare Herself To Men
