Lindsay Arnold is showing off her hot body and her new bathing suit! The Dancing with the Stars alum flaunts her lean and fit figure in a Luxe Cartel swimsuit in one of her latest Instagram Stories. “Love this suit,” she captioned the mirror selfie. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lindsay Arnold 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 Eats Healthy

Lindsay makes her own meals, focusing on putting together healthy but simple concoctions like this summer salad, a bean-filled enchilada soup, and Instant Pot shredded chicken tacos. "Quick & Easy breakfast 🤗🤗 for people like me who don't have the time *or the skill* for the fancy stuff 😂😂😂 but still want something that is tasty and good for you!!!" she wrote in one of her posts, sharing recipes for smoothie bowls and avocado toast.

2. She Rides Bikes

Lindsay loves riding bikes. “Summer bike rides with my little fam,” she captioned a post. 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. She Drinks a Lot of Healthy Smoothies

Lindsay is obsessed with healthy smoothies. Her Instagram feed is filled with recipes for healthy, delicious blended beverages, like this berry avocado cacao smoothie, made out of 1 cup frozen berries, ½ avocado, 2 pitted dates, a spoonful of almond butter,, 1 tablespoon cacao powder, 1 tablespoon maca powder, and one cup coconut milk. She also has recipes for a green goddess smoothie and a peaches and cream protein smoothie.

4. She Hikes

Lindsay, who lives in Utah with her husband and daughter, spends a lot of time hiking. “Summer nights with my little fam,” she captioned a post. Per the National Parks Service there are many physical benefits of hiking, including building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.

5. She Works Out

Lindsay works out a lot. She loves exercise so much that she started her own program, The Movement Club. Many of her workouts are short but effective circuits, like this 15-minute ab workout and this inner and outer thigh sculpt workout. Try leg curls. "This exercise works the back part of the legs, the hamstring muscle group. This is especially pertinent for runners since most runners have very strong quadricep muscles (the ones on the front part of the leg) and have weak hamstring muscles. Curl your legs as far up as they can go, and slowly let the weight back down, but don't let the weight stack touch and lose all the resistance. Strengthening the hamstrings will restore a balance to the leg musculature and aide in preventing running injuries," says Duke.

Brown loves to swim as a way to stay in shape. Even if it’s cold out, she’ll still go in the water. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in an outdoor pool in the snow. She captioned the post, “The best feeling.” "Are you ready to take the plunge and try a new fitness activity? How about water exercise? Also known as aquatics, water exercise is one of the best non-impact fitness activities around and just about anybody can participate. Pregnant women, the elderly or overweight, individuals with arthritis or those recovering from an injury can all benefit from the wide variety of aquatics classes currently available," says ACE Fitness.

2. She Got In Shape For Love Island

Before making her debut on the show Love Island, Brown made sure to get in shape. She broke down her process to The Sun. “I hired a personal trainer for weight training, then would spend the rest sweating away on the treadmill,” she explained.

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Being in the public eye, Brown has had to deal with body shaming. However, she tells The Sun that she is confident in herself, despite all the comments. “What the shamers need to realize is that there's a difference between someone who is unhealthy and overweight, and someone who's just a normal size,” she said. “I'm perfectly fit and happy now — just as I was before Love Island.”

4. She Stays Humble

For Brown, humility is key. She tells Glamour that while she’s confident in herself, she still stays humble. “No one is a ten out of ten. Except maybe Beyoncé. Don’t go in there thinking you are the be all and end all."

5. She Values Her Friendships

While Brown made her debut on a dating show, she didn’t just go on there to find love. She tells Glamour that her friendships are just as important to her as her romantic relationships. "Friendships to me are just as important as relationships. I know it’s not a friendship show, it’s a love show. I’m nervous about how the girls will react.”

1. She Jet Skis

Yailin, who spends a lot of time at the beach, loves to jet ski. The sport surprisingly helps you stay in shape. According to Health Fitness Revolution, the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride. The sport is also great for cardiovascular endurance.

2. She Has a Diet and Workout Buddy

After Anuel AA lost a ton of weight, Yailin explained in an Instagram Live interview that the two were dieting and exercising together. Anuel wanted “to be skinny” because he thinks he “looks younger that way,” she said. “We're going to the gym too," she added.

3. She Went Under the Knife

Yailin’s body isn’t 100 percent natural. She recently underwent liposuction with Dr. Nathaly Bello, a member of the Dominican Society of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, who gave fans a glimpse of her surgery on social media. She explained that she worked on the abdomen area and removed fat to define the figure. "Because cosmetic surgery can bring lasting and dramatic changes to your outside appearance, it is important to understand how these changes might affect you on the inside. Before making an appointment to see a cosmetic surgeon, consider your motives for wanting to change how you look," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Swims

Living by the ocean, she can often find Yailin swimming, a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Spending just two and a half hours per week swimming laps can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

5. She Is Embracing Her Pregnancy

In a recent post, Yailin shared gratitude about her pregnancy. “I always told God to give me a family but from the man I loved truly Thank you my God for giving me what I always asked I feel Super happy the happiest woman in the world 👨 👩 👧 I do not know how to thank you for this happiness I am without Tend now same I have no words here you daddy and I made you with a lot of love we are waiting for your arrival my fatty I love you,” she captioned it.

1. She Works Out

“I don’t know about you but working out has saved me during isolation,” she said, thanking coach Tom Brazier. She even developed her own home workout plan. “With strength training and cardio focused sessions, demonstrated to you by Laura and her personal trainer, you’ll feel fitter, stronger and look more toned.”

2. Strength Training and Cardio Really Work

National Television Awards 2020 - Red Carpet ArrivalsKarwai Tang/WireImage

Says the Mayo Clinic:

“For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines

  • Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equal combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week.
  • Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Aim to do a single set of each exercise using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.”

3. This is What She Says to Body Shamers

Good Morning Britain 1 Million Minutes Awards - Red Carpet ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

"Please don’t talk to me as if I’m promoting unhealthy eating because you think I look skinny in one picture,” she has said. "If any young girl follows me, watches my stories they’ll know I eat like a horse, sometimes I work out, sometimes I don’t and I’m a 32 year old woman- who will be teaching my kids about positive body image (which any mother or father on here should take responsibility for also) and please for the love of god note that body positivity includes all size frames equally. I’m so fed up of being spoken to like less of a woman because the worlds obsessed with woman’s weight. Who cares, I’m a person not a size."

4. She Uses Self-Tanner

London Celebrity Sightings -  November 25, 2019Mark R. Milan/GC Images

Using a self-tanner is smart. “The safest way to tan is through sunless tanning,” says dermatologist Jennifer Lucas, MD to the Cleveland Clinic. “I recommend store-bought or professionally done spray tans or lotions/cream to get your healthy glow.” If you are in the sun: “Religious use of sunscreen is your number one tool to help prevent skin damage.”

5. She Takes Vitamins

Pride of Sport Awards 2019 - LondonLia Toby/PA Images via Getty Images

Laura loves her vitamins. You can, too, if you are deficient but ideally you get yours from food; for example, “Whole foods are complex, containing a variety of the micronutrients your body needs — not just one. An orange, for example, provides vitamin C plus some beta carotene, calcium and other nutrients. It's likely these compounds work together to produce their beneficial effect,” says the Mayo Clinic. Before taking vitamins, "talk to your health care team and dietitian if you have questions or concerns,” says Anne Harguth, registered dietitian at Mayo Clinic Health System.

Jessica Cediel, the Colombian TV presenter and model, just posted a brand new video to Instagram, and she's her usual wink-wink self. Cediel posed in front of a mirror in a pink bathing suit, in the classic selfie position. She captioned the video, “I know it's not time to call but I saw you online.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jessica Cediel 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 Uses Hand Weights

In this Instagram video, Cediel revealed some of her favorite workouts to her followers. In the video, she is seen doing lateral lifts, and dancing with the weights in her hands. She humorously captioned the video, “Who else gets confused exercising? Train, sing, dance, smile, repeat.” Here’s a quick handweight exercise from personal trainer Mark Langowski:

1 leg deadlift into biceps curl and shoulder press.

Men; use 12-20lb db’s, Women Use 5-10lb db’s.

“Grasp a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward. Standing on one leg, tilt at the waist, keeping your back from rounding, and lower your chest toward the floor until your back is parallel to the ground. Exhale as you slowly come up and, at the top of movement, curl the weights up to your shoulders, then press them overhead. Do 8 repetitions for each leg.”

2. She Swims

Cediel likes to go swimming. In fact, she recently received the exciting opportunity to go swimming with dolphins in Cabo San Lucas. She posted this photo and this video on Instagram of herself interacting with the dolphins in the water. “Water is significantly denser than air — by almost 800 times. That means you can build muscle strength as you move through water. One study found that a long-term water exercise program was actually more effective than working out on land to build muscle strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Catches Some Rays

Twn minutes of sun can be good for you each day because it provides vitamin D. “Vitamin D is a nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones,” says the Mayo Clinic. “That's because your body can only absorb calcium, the primary component of bone, when vitamin D is present. Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in your body. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties support immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.”

4. Love Yourself, She Urges

“Each of us has different purposes. Love yourself, respect yourself, value yourself and treat yourself as a priority. Don’t compare yourself. FOCUS ON YOU. Sow today so that tomorrow you will reap the fruits of your effort. Change your mentality, start the transformation from the inside and you will see how you reflect it outside,” she once captioned a post.

5. She Loves Her Father

“Today I am super emotional and I think that now I am finally going to talk about this thing that many of you have asked me about, my dad,” she said on air in 2021. He has Parkinson’s. “My dad has a lot of fans around here, I love him, he’s the best dad in the world….I think that many people who have a family member with special health conditions will understand me, I wanted to comment on this, until today I feel like sharing it and telling them that they definitely love their relatives, love their parents, children, cousins, someone who has a special health condition.”

Love Island star Laura Anderson currently lives in Dubai. Which means she gets to experience the city’s amazing weather and attractions every day. Anderson just posted a stunning new bikini photo to Instagram. In it, she posed in a maroon bathing suit, showing off her body and tan. She captioned the photo, “I had nothing to post 🙈 ( as I’m secretly filming something hilarious 🤫) So, here’s me in sunny Dubai while I’m really sat here in London freezing my" backside "off. Happy Sunday 🤎.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 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 Loves Yoga

One of the ways Anderson stays in shape is by practicing yoga. She posted this series of photos of herself in the dancer pose, and doing a heel stretch on Instagram, for International Yoga Day. She captioned it, “Would you get up at 6:30 am for this view?”

2. She Doesn’t Let Her Age Define Her

Anderson opened up about her experience on Love Island in an interview with Cosmopolitan. She says that while she was on the show, she got a lot of criticism for her age. However, she says that she doesn’t let it define her and prevent her from doing certain things. “I think one thing that was mentioned a lot from Love Island that was a little bit of a misunderstanding is my age and the stigma around being too old or looking a certain way. I just want to say to all woman out there, there are no rules, age is just a number so look, feel and be whoever you want to be and whenever you want!”

3. She Doesn’t Judge People

National Television Awards 2020 - VIP ArrivalsDave Benett/Getty Images

Anderson tells Cosmopolitan that one of the things she loves about Love Island is getting to see people evolve. She encourages viewers of the show, or any reality TV show, to not judge people at first, as she does. “I know a lot of people view reality TV and specifically Love Island as quite a superficial show but for me it’s the opposite. I think being in there really teaches young people to see past appearances and even for the viewer to not judge a book by its cover.”

4. She Jet Skis

Anderson is a big fan of going to the beach. One of the things that she likes to do when she’s there is to ride jet skis. Anderson posted this video on Instagram of herself jet skiing in Burj Al Arab. She captioned the post, “Flying into the weekend like.” She also posted this set of photos from the same day, captioning them, “Best day ever.”

5. She Strength Trains

Anderson is pretty tight lipped about her fitness routine. However, some of her favorite exercises are strength training ones. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing deadlifts, with the caption, “I don’t know about you but working out has saved me during this isolation.” She also posted this strength training video, captioning it, “Being told what to do isn’t my strong point.”

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.”

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.

She Walks and Hikes

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.

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.
