Actress Ludwika Paleta, the Polish-Mexican star of Madre sólo hay dos, just posted a revealing new photo on social media. And it was revealing in more ways than one. Paleta posed in a black bathing suit, while lounging on a hammock. In the caption, she talked about the pressures to look a certain way in society. She encouraged her followers to “Live life without filters.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ludwika Paleta 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 Doesn’t Conform To Society’s Beauty Standards

In her most recent Instagram photo, Paleta opened up about society’s beauty and body standards. She also talked about her personal journey, and how she was going to step away from using filters. “I have to confess that I hesitated to upload these photos. I didn't want to retouch them and we are unaccustomed, or at least I am, to seeing bodies without ‘fixing,’” she wrote. “That's how my body is, I do take care of myself, I do eat well (and although there are still traces of all the pasta and pizzas that I ate on my vacations. There are also the traces of my pregnancies, the exercise and the care that I give it). Let's live without so many filters please.”

2. She Spends Time By The Water

Paleta likes to spend time by or near the water. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself enjoying time in the water, by the pool, or at the beach. “Aquatic exercise can also have several health benefits, such as improved heart health, reduced stress, and improved muscular endurance and strength. Exercising in the water can be a great way to include physical activity into your life. It may also be a beneficial way for older adults to stay active. You can even do aquatic exercise if you don't know how to swim. Aquatic exercise can also improve joint use and lessen pain if you have osteoarthritis,” says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Did A Detox

At the beginning of last year, Paleta decided to do a detox, and revealed both what she was giving up, and why she made this choice on Instagram. She wrote, “I started the year leaving what is not good for me (which, in addition, is what I like the most). At least for a while. Each beginning of the year is a good opportunity to cleanse , let go, rebuild and change. Even cleaning people who do not contribute anything to your life is not bad. Letting go so that something new and better can enter. 'Friends' that they are not, toxic relationships that we only maintain out of habit .... That is my purpose for this year. CLEAN.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Paleta has gorgeous skin, and she makes sure to take good care of it. She broke down her skincare routine and her go-to tips in this YouTube video. Keeping your skin taken care of is very important. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay natural aging and prevent various skin problems.” The Mayo Clinic post recommends using sunscreen and other sun protection, and taking shorter showers and baths, as ways to keep your skin healthy.

5. She Practices Yoga

One of the ways Paleta likes to stay active is by practicing yoga. This is a great way to keep your body healthy, as yoga has a lot of benefits. According to Harvard Health, yoga is a great way to work through back pain. “Yoga helps alleviate back pain by increasing flexibility and muscle strength. Relaxation, stress reduction, and better body awareness may also play a role.”

1. She Loves Snorkeling

Paleta is a big fan of ocean activities like snorkeling and swimming. “Research has shown that being near, in, on or under water can provide a long list of benefits for our mind and body, including lowering stress and anxiety, increasing an overall sense of well-being and happiness, a lower heart and breathing rate, and safe, better workouts, says marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols. “Aquatic therapists are increasingly looking to the water to help treat and manage PTSD, addiction, anxiety disorders, autism and more.”

2. She Takes Baths

As a busy mother of two, Paleta loves nothing better than relaxing in a bath. “Taking baths has great physical and mental health benefits,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “Baths help many people sleep well,” notes Dr. Zack. “They also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors.”

3. She Likes To Kayak

Paleta enjoys kayaking in the ocean, something experts say has many health benefits. “The term ‘blue mind’ describes the mildly meditative state we fall into when near, in, on or under water,” says Nichols. “It’s the antidote to what we refer to as ‘red mind,’ which is the anxious, over-connected and over-stimulated state that defines the new normal of modern life. Research has proven that spending time near the water is essential to achieving an elevated and sustained happiness.”

4. She Takes Collagen Supplements

Paleta takes collagen supplements as part of her wellness regimen. “Many people don’t realize that adding collagen to your diet can also help in reducing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks,” says Amy Myers, MD. “When skin loses its elasticity and becomes thin, cellulite becomes more obvious. Collagen benefits your skin by increasing moisture retention, boosting elasticity, and helping to smooth out that dimpled appearance.”

5. Granola With Fresh Fruit For Breakfast

Paleta enjoys a bowl of granola with fresh fruit for breakfast. “Research suggests eating a wide variety of plant foods – ideally 30 different foods a week – is key to promoting a diverse range of beneficial gut bacteria,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Granola is made up of a number of ingredients including oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. These ingredients are rich in dietary fibre and plant compounds called polyphenols which studies indicate have beneficial effects on the diversity of our gut microbes.”

Ludwika Paleta is heating up Mexico – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest posts, the actress shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit, posing in front of the ocean. “Nothing lasts forever.... nor the good. So, enjoy the moment,” she captioned the seaside Instagram snap taken at NIZUC Resort & Spa. How does the 44-year-old Polish-Mexican actress maintain her fit physique? Here are 5 of her go-to secrets to staying in shape.


1. She Kayaks

Ludwika maintains a very active lifestyle. One of her athletic hobbies is kayaking. “Greetings from the place where I would like to be,” she captioned a recent post. Kayaking is a great workout. Not only is it great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.

2. She Snorkles

Ludwika also enjoys snorkeling. “Free afternoon #playa #sea #sea #snorkeling,” she captioned another photo of her herself, masked up. 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.

3. She Hikes

Ludwika regularly gets out for a nature hike. During one of her trips, she hiked through the jungle. “Another dream come true ✅ We hiked for an hour to find a family of gorillas that live in the outskirts. In the first video you can see how the silverback male receives us. We got so scared 😱, their reception was something like: I know they are here, watch out for my family, here, I am the boss. It's very touching to be so close to them and be able to see them in the place where they live,” she captioned the post. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

4. She Drinks Coffee

Ludwika enjoys the perks of a daily cup of coffee, which, according to the Cleveland Clinic, are plentiful. “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.

5. She Reads

Another healthy habit of Ludwika’s? Reading. 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 compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

Paulina Porizkova has #greypride! The 56-year-old supermodel, who is quickly becoming an inspiration to women around the world, is embracing the natural aging process. On Tuesday she shared a photo of her makeup-free face, explaining why she opts to post untouched photos on such a filter-friendly social media platform. Read on to hear what Paulina Porizkova had to say and read about some of the other ways she is embracing her age the healthy way—and for more celeb inspiration, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. ”Sexy Has No Expiration Date”

Wrote Paulina: “I was recently in a restaurant, and as I came back from the ladies room to go back to my table, a young woman at the bar stopped me. ‘Are you- are you…’ she was fumbling around for a name. I wanted to to get back to my table, so I decided to make it easy on her. I smiled and nodded “yes, I am” as I tried to walk past. And then she said it. 'YOU’RE THE LADY WHO CRIES ON INSTAGRAM!'"

"That stopped me," she continued. "This woman was much too young to know me as a model. She knows me as the lady who cries on Instagram,” she wrote. “Then the young woman continued to thank me! She thanked me for being honest and sharing painful stuff , because it freed her to do the same. It released her shame of feeling guilty for having a range of emotions, and for not having to pretend. I think it was the best compliment I have gotten in years. THANK YOU PRETTY GIRL AT THE BAR😘 #truthisnotalwayspretty #betweenjloandbettywhite #sexyhasnoexpirationdate #greypride #nofillers #nobotox #nofilter 💯The reason I put in these hashtags is NOT to shame women who have had work done! Merely to let those who haven’t and those are aren’t sure if they should - see a face that’s resolutely without. Because untouched faces in the public eye are fewer and further between.”

2. She Recently Shared A Photo of Herself Crying

Paulina is trying to be transparent, posting about her bad days as well as good. “I know you all enjoy happy posts, seeing people pick themselves up, dust off their pants and get back on the horse, all while smiling to let you know this fall just made them stronger and better people. But. Everyday is not a happy day in the path of recovery,” she wrote in a recent post. "Trust after being betrayed seems as far fetched as being shot into space. Correction. It’s easier to see myself shot into space at this moment. When you’ve been betrayed- promised something, only to have that promise broken without your participation - you were blindsided. You trusted someone you loved, and now all love is suspect. But love is not possible without trust. And a world without love is not worth living. (All kinds of love). So what does one do when you want to stay open, but the wind of betrayal keeps slamming the door? I guess -maybe - walk outside and brave the weather? You’ll find me in the metaphorical closet pilling on layers for protection.🤣. For you who’d like to point out a crying selfie is the height of narcissism, I whole-heartedly agree!🤪 #nomakeup #nofilter #grief #heartache #justsitwithit.”

3. She Suffers From Anxiety

In a recent interview with Elle, Paulina revealed she started exercising to help with her panic attacks and to get off antidepressants. “I found out if I worked out every day my anxiety was kept a lot at bay. And I felt better. So how great is that?”

4. She Is Botox Free

Paulina has lines on her face, and she proudly shows them off. In a recent selfie shared to her Instagram, in which she was making a seriously funny face, sh added the hashtag“#clearlynobotoxhere.”

5. She Has a Healthy Approach to Exercise

Paulina has a laid back approach to exercise, which she didn’t start doing until she was 40. In a recent post she revealed that she does Pilates when in New York City, and while in the country she bikes and works out with her personal trainer.

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.”
