1. She Doesn’t Crash Diet

Amber told Closer that you will never find her starving herself. “There are fitness fanatics who train three times a day, every day, and then eat nothing. I put on a stone, then lost it, but I’ve made sure I haven’t let my diet and fitness take over my life. I’m not fitness obsessed. I wanted to do something that was sustainable and would also make me feel better mentally. I could never do a crash diet – I love my food.”

2. She Indulges on Occasion

Amber maintains a healthy diet but allows herself to eat the food she loves in moderation. For breakfast she might eat oats with fruit and honey for breakfast, a tomato and mozzarella or avocado salad for lunch, and salmon, greens and potatoes for dinner.

3. Staying Healthy Helps Her Stay Happy

“I feel so much happier now and I feel this pandemic has taught us that it’s so important to look after yourself at the moment – both physically and mentally,” Amber told Closer about how physical and mental health are connected. “Staying in contact with friends and family virtually, eating well and exercising all helps. I feel really positive and ready for this year.”

4. She Exercises

Fitness is a priority for Amber. “I train four times a week with my programme for 20 minutes at a time. I’m using my own body weight for resistance, which is the biggest surprise as I’ve always done weights at the gym. It’s amazing to see how effective it is and proves it is possible to work out effectively when we’ve been told to stay at home,” she told Closer.

5. She Is All About Self-Care

“I am the queen of self-care,” Amber confessed to Women’s Health. “I like to get massages or have bubble baths and do face masks. For me, it’s about taking a day off, a rest day – that means no home workouts, no phone and just doing things I enjoy. It’s a really good reset so that when I come back to work, I feel more inspired and creative.” She also has another way she takes care of herself. “I know stretching doesn’t sound like self-care but when you’re training quite hard, it’s so important to stretch: it’s like a thank you to your body. ‘Thank you for doing all the work, I’m going to reward you a little bit now.’”

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.”

Prior to going on Love Island Amy went to “extreme” measures to lose weight. “Eight weeks, gym every day, 1800 calories vegan diet plan,” she shared in a clip exclusively shared with Metro.co.uk. “I gave up drinking, I’d call in sick to work so I could go to the gym instead.”

2. She Learned That Thinner Isn’t Prettier

"Sister Act: The Musical" - Press Night - Drinks ReceptionDave Benett/Getty Images

The weight loss was fueled by a desire to fulfill society’s standards.”I thought I needed to do that to be attractive to the boys that would be in the villa,” she continued. “I think it’s because we’ve been conditioned that thinner is prettier. It’s completely wrong and there shouldn’t be one body type that is beautiful. I think people need to realise that your dream body should just be your own body.”

3. She Meal Preps

Amy sets herself up for success by meal prepping. MEAL PREP MONDAYS (on a Tuesday….I THOUGHT I PRESSED SAVE OK!!) My new fave breakfast, Raspberry Biscoff Protein Cheesecake!

I’m gonna try a dairy free version next week (gotta use the yoghurt up 🤣 we are a zero waste household now dontchaknow,” she captioned one of her posts. Another favorite make-ahead dish? Slow cooker beef. “One of my fave dinners because it’s hearty, yummy and full of real ingredients,” she wrote in another,

4. Her Approach to Diet and Fitness Is Balanced

Now that Amy is healthier and happier, her approach to health is more balanced. “LIFE 👏🏻IS👏🏻ABOUT👏🏻BALANCE 👏🏻 I know some of you were worried this was going to become a fitness account, I’m still me 💁🏼‍♀️During lockdown, all I did was work out, eat well and hardly drink. When we came out of lockdown I went out ... for 5 months. I’ve tried a few diet plans etc but I always end up going to excess then feeling guilty! I’m learning to love the gym (I’m a spinning queen now babes) but also enjoy life too and not feel guilty. Let’s just say, after my Italian lunch today I am v glad I didn’t cancel spin this morning,” she captioned a post.

5. She Prioritizes Self-Care

Amy takes care of herself. “SELF CARE SATURDAY,” she wrote in a post. Her rest day might look something like this: “After a long day or a hard gym session I love to come home and relax,” she continued. Then she might give herself a facial or do a face mask.

Mills is all about authenticity. She tells Heatworld that she made sure to be herself when she was filming Love Island. "I don’t think I’d change anything,” she says. “Because throughout Casa and going into the main villa, I was true to myself.

About joining the show, she told the Yorkshire Evening Press: "I’ll bring a lot of confidence, smiles and good vibes. ... I’m confident, I love myself. I don’t need a man to make me happy! Like it or lump it. I’m an all round good person, kind hearted and big headed! I think I’m quite affectionate, I do love little romantic things. I always like to be there for someone."

5. She Gets Some Sun

"Sunlight exposure impacts how much melatonin your brain produces, which is what tells your brain when it is time to sleep. When it gets dark, you start producing melatonin so you are ready to sleep in about two hours. With more sunlight in the summer, you are likely to feel more awake. Dr. Bligard points out that modern technology has allowed us to change our light exposure artificially with lights, TV screens and computer screens (including tablets and cell phones). Consequently, the incidence of insomnia is much higher now than it was before these devices were invented," says Unity Point Health.

In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand.

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. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

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.

Entertainment India - March 2023

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.”
