Lindsay Lohan is enjoying her babymoon in her bathing suit. The star, who is expecting her first child, shows off her gorgeous body while vacationing at Six Senses Zighy Bay in Oman in one of her latest Instagram posts. “Queen of the land(3),” her sister Ali commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 of Lindsay Lohan’s top diet and fitness tips for staying 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. Exercise for Self-Care

Lindsay isn’t just motivated by the physical benefits of exercise. “When you workout, you're also getting endorphins that make you feel good, you sleep better and you don't seem to stress out as much. I also like the idea that when you work out, you're taking time for yourself. It's self-care,” she recently told Health.

2. Quit Bad Habits

In her younger years, Lohan famously battled substance abuse problems. “I avoid alcohol,” she told The Mirror. “In fact, I would rather go out diving in the sea at night than drink.”

3. Do Yoga

Lindsay loves to do yoga. “Starting the day with yoga,” she captioned a photo of herself decked out in workout clothes. 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. Exercise Regularly

Lohan maintains a consistent workout schedule. “I work out three or four days a week. I'm not an outdoor runner, but I love the treadmill. I'll just put my headphones on, put the treadmill on an incline, and alternate between speed walking, jogging, and sprinting,” she told Health.

5. Prioritize Self-Care

Self care is “about taking care of yourself physically and mentally,” Lohan told Health. “For me, having a good skincare routine is part of it, as is eating healthy. But it's also about the people you surround yourself with. You have to make sure you have a good support system and the people around you provide good stability.”

6. Maintain a Balanced Diet

Lohan tries to “focus on balance” when it comes to her diet. “I love cooking and looking at recipes, so that's something that helps me incorporate healthy foods. And I don't have a sweet tooth,” she told Health. Occasionally she will cheat and order fast food. “When I do, I'll go for a kids' meal—that's my trick. My fiance and siblings all make fun of me for it. I really only do that once in a blue moon,” she added. “Again, it's about balancing those things with lots of other healthy, nutritious options.”

7. Meditate Daily

“I meditate daily,” Lohan revealed to Health. “Once a day I take 10 to 15 minutes and I do some breathing work paired with some spiritual prayers. It gives me time to focus. I will actually go into the bathroom to meditate. I turn on the shower and leave it running while I do it. It may sound weird, but the sound of the water calms me—it's cozy and feels like no one can bother you.” The Mayo Clinic agrees. “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” they say.

1. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay,Lohan,Attends,The,Amfar,Gala,Cannes,2017,At,HotelShutterstock

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Lindsay Lohan shared her wellness secrets. “I cook a lot. I follow this @EatingHealthyToday Instagram and they do these really great healthy meals. I cook a lot of Italian. I do a lot of pastas. I do a lot of an Arabic dish called machboos. It’s chicken with rice and vegetables. I do a really good borscht soup. I also go to bed really early. 9:30.”

2. Amanda Seyfried

Amanda,Seyfried,Attends,Cfda,Fashion,Awards,2022,At,Cipriani,SouthShutterstock

Amanda Seyfried starred with Lohan in Mean Girls, and they recently reunited for an advertisement. In an interview, Seyfried talked about her workouts. “As for the exercise I do, that’s really down to how I feel and, like everyone else on the planet, how much time I’ve got. So that could be using a skipping rope, a bike, a running machine… anything. And when I’m in the zone, I’m in it… which makes up for the times when I’m not, because that really sucks.”

3. Lizzy Caplan

Hollywood-,Nov,04:,Lizzy,Caplan,Arrives,For,The,Eighth,AnnualShutterstock

Lizzy Caplan also starred with Lohan in Mean Girls. In an interview with Grazia, Caplan talked about her decision to live a private life. “There was definitely a period of time, probably around 2016, where it was starting to feel mandatory that if you were an actor, you had to also have this social media presence,” she says. “I managed to avoid it and I still am happy that I did. I do think that it makes the job more difficult. The more people know you and have opinions about you as a person, the harder it is for you to be believable as you disappear into a role.”

4. Lacey Chabert

Los,Angeles,-,Jul,26:,Lacey,Chabert,At,The,HallmarkShutterstock

Lacey Chabert starred alongside Lohan in Mean Girls, and also reunited with Lohan and Seyfried for the ad. Chabert shared her self-care secrets with New Beauty. “I recently tried a microcurrent treatment and liked it a lot. It left my skin feeling soft and lifted. I love taking a hot bubble bath with Epsom salt to relax. I also find that being outside and taking a long walk while listening to my favorite music helps me to relax. Being outside in nature always helps clear my head.”

5. Rachel McAdams

New,York,,Ny,-,April,24:,Actress,Rachel,Mcadams,AttendsShutterstock

Rachel McAdams is another of Lohan’s Mean Girls co-stars. In 2014, she shared her skincare secrets with Allure. "I use a seaweed mask [Fresh Sea Plant Mask] by Chicet that I really love. It dries, and then it's really fun to pick off the pieces of seaweed, which is totally disgusting, and I can't believe I just told you that."

6. Jonathan Bennett

Jonathan Bennett not only starred with Lohan in Mean Girls, he also played Celebrity Big Brother with her mom, Dina. Bennett shared some of his fitness secrets in an interview with Millennium Magazine. “I’m especially a group fitness junkie. I like to do boot camp, spinning or cycle.”

7. Ashlee Simpson

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,24:,Ashlee,Simpson,At,The,EltonShutterstock

After having her second child, Lohan’s friend Ashlee Simpson made sure to get in shape. Simpson’s trainer, Ramona Braganza, shared her secrets with People. “Having a hands on daddy like Evan proved to be a big motivation,” Braganza says. “Taking turns watching his daughter as his wife worked out, prepping some post-workout snacks and performing nighttime daddy duty proved to be a big part in Ashlee’s weight loss success.”

8. Nicole Richie

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,10:,Nicole,Richie,Arrives,To,TheShutterstock

Lohan’s friend, Nicole Richie, shared her self-care secrets in an interview with SELF. “There are so many messages out there that you have to do it all,” she said. “Everyone's doing a million things, and we have to realize that self-care and rest is just as important, and you have to have that in order to be the best version of yourself. Something that [Harlow and I] talk about quite often—and even more so now with my kids in virtual school—is that having time to unplug is so important. That's something that I feel like my whole family and I have been constantly having to discuss this whole past year.”

9. Kate Bosworth

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,11:,Kate,Bosworth,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Lohan is friends with actress Kate Bosworth. She talked about the evolution of her fitness routine in an interview with SELF. “I had a hard time with my exercise routine because I felt like it had to be an hour, and it had to be really rigorous and intense,” Bosworth said. “Then, I realized you can go down and get on the treadmill for 20 minutes, and you’ve done something.”

10. Eva Mendes

Eva,Mendes,At,The,16th,Annual,Critics',Choice,Movie,AwardsShutterstock

Lohan’s friend, Eva Mendes, is all about celebrating body-positivity. In an interview with Shape, she talked about her clothing line, which had many different sizes. “There are diverse body types in my family. One of my sisters is very voluptuous; the other one is skinny. It was really important to me to create a clothing line that embraces all those differences.”

11. Mischa Barton

Lohan is friends with actress Mischa Barton. During the pandemic, Barton opened up about her at-home workouts to Us Weekly.“Training has been a main focus during lockdown,” she said. “It keeps me sane and busy…I love being able to do something that makes me feel so centered and good in all the craziness out there in the world at the moment. Yoga classes was one of the first things I missed the most.”

12. Kate Moss

London,,United,Kingdom,-,December,10,,2018:,Kate,Moss,AttendsShutterstock

One of Lohan’s friends is supermodel Kate Moss. In an interview with The Guardian, Moss revealed that she has started taking her fitness seriously. “I’m at very early stages, but I’ve joined a gym and all that, and it’s made me feel really good. I worked out for an hour every consecutive day for a couple of weeks and it was enough that I really started to see the benefits, which I’d never really done before. I always thought ‘this is agony, I’m not coming back. This is torture’. But this time I just kind of pushed through. I honestly lost an inch off my waist in about 10 days. Now I really enjoy it.”

13. Jamie Lee Curtis

Los,Angeles,-,Oct,09:,Jamie,Lee,Curtis,Arrives,ForShutterstock

Jamie Lee Curtis starred with Lohan in the film Freaky Friday. In an interview with The Today Show, Curtis talked about what she wanted her daughters to learn from her. "Happiness is a tricky word because life is pain," she said. "I want them to be satisfied. I want them to feel that what they're doing matters, that what they're doing has value."

14. Hayden Panittierre

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,13:,Hayden,Panettiere,At,The,BlondeShutterstock

Lohan is friends with fellow child actress, Hayden Panittiere. In an interview with New Beauty, Panittierre shared some of her skincare secrets. “I’ve learned to wash my face with cold water because of the pores—anything you want to get into your pores, you must open with steam first by warming your skin. I usually use this one in the shower because it’s the perfect time. My pores are open, I wash my face with the cleanser, and, sometimes, I do it twice.”

15. Paris Hilton

Paris,Hilton,At,The,2022,Mtv,Movie,Awards,Held,AtShutterstock

Lohan and Paris Hilton were famous friends during the 2000s. In an interview with Vogue, Hilton revealed that she does regular health tests. “Health and wellness is very important to me – I recently invested in a company named Viome. Using their at home testing kits you can analyse your health down to the molecular level to get personalised nutrition recommendations and supplements made uniquely for you. I love products that help people demystify their health through incredible science and technology.”

1. Nicole Scherzinger

The Pussycat Dolls frontwoman and Masked Singer judge says that she makes sure to keep healthy foods in her fridge at all times. She tells Goodto.com that she has “Cheese, turkey, cherry tomatoes, almond milk, a little bit of normal milk for my tea, coconut water, eggs – and all the basics. And a Müller Püd Corner of course!” Scherzinger says that she uses these ingredients to make healthy meals. She says that her go-tos are, “My favourite breakfast is six-minute eggs with smoked salmon and toast. Or just scrambled eggs with a turkey sausage or turkey bacon. For lunch I’ll have sushi, a sandwich or a salad. And for dinner I love seafood pasta, fish and brown rice and veggies or chicken, brown rice and veggies.”

2. Brielle Biermann

The reality star revealed that she uses supplements to help her get her bikini-body. She wrote on Instagram, “Everyone’s asking how i lost weight.. secrets out! so thankful my daily Modere trim got me bikini ready for the summer!”

3. Jordana Brewster

The Fast and The Furious and Lethal Weapon star tells Byrdie that she and her trainer work on posture and alignment. She says, “I also work with someone named Lauren Roxburgh—she does foam rolling, and it’s really good as far as getting your fascia in shape, and it does a lot with your alignment and your posture, and that’s been really helpful too. I find that I’m more limber after a session with her.”

4. Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox says that her fitness regime is more about having fun and being comfortable, rather than losing weight. "I'm not overachieving in fitness at the moment," Cox tells InStyle. "I'm doing it, it's not as high-level, but I like where I'm at with it now. It's fun, it's medicinal, and I'm not being hard on myself. I think studying classical ballet creates this thing where you just beat yourself up, and I'm not doing that right now."

5. Larsa Pippen

Larsa Pippen revealed her workout routine on Instagram, and says that she likes to do a lot of full-body HIIT movements. In the video, Pippen is using weights and is seen doing deadlifts, front squats, low rows, and static combos. Pippen previously told HollywoodLife that she does two sessions of “40 squats a set.” She says, “If you incorporate weights into that then you wouldn’t have to do so many. You would just do 12-15 reps.”

6. Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson says that she is all about self-care and self-love. One of the ways she does so is giving herself breaks, and lightening her schedule. “I’m trying to have much more of a balance,” she says to Bustle. “I used to be go-go-go 24/7, and so I’ve come to that realization that you can’t just do movies and stuff back to back all the time and work 20 hours a day. It’s not a healthy thing.”

7. Olivia Culpo

The former Miss Universe and fashion icon Olivia Culpo is known for her incredible figure, and she works hard to keep herself in shape. "I've noticed it's very important to be consistent with workouts," she says to Shape magazine. "I think it's really easy for people to go through phases where they're really intense with their workouts and then they kind of fall out of it." Culpo says that she tries to stay active everyday, no matter how busy she gets. "I try to stay active as much as I can by doing low-impact, high-intensity workouts so that I'm consistent and I don't wake up one day and realize it's been two weeks and I haven't worked out."

Millie Court, star of Love Island, sends “Postcards from Ibiza 🖤✨,” as she captioned a new swimsuit photo. “MILLIEEEEE 😍😍🔥,” said Kaz Kamwi in the comments. “Omg 😍😍😍😍😍,” said Liberty Poole. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Millie 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. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, 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) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"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,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

Rayna Vallandingham is flashing her washboard abs – in a two-piece exercise set from Alo. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her impressive midsection during a workout at the gym. “dojang diaries,” she captioned the series of snaps. “Magnific! Very very beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “♥️More like diaries of a hottie♥️” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Be Consistent

Consistency – at the gym and the martial arts studio – is the key to success. "It is a way of life," Rayna says. "It's not only teaching your body movements and being in synchronicity with your body, but also just like the mental aspect of it."

Fight Your Way to a Hot Body

Rayna is a big fan of martial arts. She has been doing taekwondo since she was 2, earning her first black belt at 6. "In the very beginning, my parents put me in the sport because I was just really shy, and I think they could tell that I needed something," says Vallandingham, who lives and trains in Los Angeles. "Immediately, I just loved it. I felt at home, and every single day, instead of watching Dora, I wanted to go to the dojo,” she told Well + Good. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function, psychological health, weight loss, and physical fitness.

Work on Strength and Flexibility

Rayna recommends prioritizing strength, flexibility, and power. "Of the three, I think strength and flexibility are the top two," Vallandingham says. "We used to have people stand on my legs and force my knees to come down in butterfly stretch," she says. "I have permanent damage to my body—I have tendonitis [because of this]."

Lift Weights

If you want a strong, lean body like Vallandingham, you must lift for it. The star strength trains, focusing on supersets, doing two moves back-to-back that target the same muscle groups to double down on their gains. One of her favorite exercises is a goblet squat. She stands with her feet shoulder-width apart, folded forward until she can slide her palms underneath her soles (you could also hold your ankles or calves), then bends her knees, lowering her butt toward the floor while lifting her chest, coming into a deep squat. She'll bend and extend her legs several times in this position. Then, it's on to the main event, holding a weight in her hands while bending down into a deep squat. "I love utilizing a Bosu ball—they're pretty much in every single gym," she adds.

Stretch

Rayna never skips stretching. She starts by by lying on the floor with her legs up the wall and then allowing them to open out into a side split. "I let gravity do its work because that's my body telling me, okay, this is where we're at," she says. "My hips are opening on their own, and I'm not having to force anything." “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Charli Hawkins is training in the snow – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Olympian shows off her fantastic figure – including her flat abs – in an exercise set while enjoying the winter weather. “TRAINING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! ❄️🥶❤️✨Gearing up in this altitude for the LONDON MARATHON this April! I’m so excited to see what my mind and body can make happen! To my marathon runners: it’s your time to shine, PLEASE tell me ALL of your tips, all of your advice, and for all of you who understand what I’m about to attempt, please send your words of encouragement 😂 Also feel free to try to talk me out of this as well thanks👍 We are on the training countdown. Turning a sprinter, jumper, and thrower into a long distance runner 🫣🙌 What do you think my time will be?” 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.

Minfulness and Meditation

Charli practices mindfulness. Before going for a run, she says words of intention. “I am willing. I am grateful. I surrender,” she revealed during an interview with San Diego Magazine. Meditation:

“When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Stretching

She also makes sure to stretch. “If you ever can think of some dynamic stretches: F.A.S.T. ✨🙌 My left hip and right QLs have been SO tight lately so I’m on a journey of getting them right! What’s bugging you at the moment???” she captioned a post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here Is The Right Way To Run

During her interview with San Diego, Charli explained how you should be running. “Remember, the sole of the foot is showing right in front of us,” she said, doing a type of high-knee movement. “To do this, you’re over exaggerating your running form while standing still. Raise your knee up, point your toes to the clouds (forming an A), and then pedal the sole of your foot forward before striking your knee down. It’s more complicated than it sounds after 30-plus years of moving a certain way,” the writer explained.

Positive Attitude

In a recent post Charli revealed things she learned about positivity. “Patience is easier when it isn’t required,” she said. “The people around you are BLESSINGS (which I feel like I already understood but sometimes it’s nice to have it emphasized).” Also, “We are up, we are down, but trusting the process sometimes means knowing that it’s all good even when it’s not the best” and “Making a plan is the best option for everything. It’s ok if the plan doesn’t go perfect, but just willy-nilly-ing it is not the best option when you want to get things done.”

Never Giving Up

Charli refuses to give up. “Understand what you want first, and then go for it. Then keep going for it all the time, and, eventually, you’ll get it,” she said during her interview.

Giulia Arena first made waves when she won the 2013 Miss Italia pageant. Since then, she’s become a successful actress, TV host, and model. Arena recently took a trip to the Maldives. She shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. In them, Arena is seen in a white swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Native habitat.”

Biking

Giulia enjoys cycling. During her trip to the Maldives Giulia went bike riding. 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.

Reading

Giulia is also a fan of books. In the Maldives, she took some time to relax and read. 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.

Snorkeling

Giulia snorkels, recently discovering the “Sea Lung,” she revealed in a post. “It reaches 60cm long with a weight of almost 10kg, and represents the largest medusa of the Mediterranean. I don’t know why, but I have always experienced the charm of Jellyfish: creatures that are essentially simple and yet capable of surviving entire geological epochs floating, light and slow, between the currents. She, remains one of the most beautiful sights of this summer.” Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Coffee

Giulia is a coffee drinker. She especially likes shots of espresso. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Yoga

Giulia is a yogi. Here she is doing yoga. There are many reasons to do yoga, according to 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.”
