How does the star maintain her fit physique and mental health? Read on to see 5 ways Maddie Ziegler 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 Call Herself “Famous”

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Maddie revealed that she doesn’t like to think of herself as famous. “I have a fear of people thinking I think I’m all that, and that’s what I relate being famous to, even though I know that’s not necessarily the case. It’s just easier for me to say ‘well known’ or ‘in the public eye’ because to me, that just seems less intimidating,” she said.

2. She Works Out and Eats Healthy

In a recent YouTube video detailing her day, Maddie reveals that she fuels up with some “oats,” before hitting the gym. Her workout, which can be done anywhere, consists of jumping jacks, kicks, running in place, pliés, crunches, leg circles, yoga stretches, the splits, and lots of stretching.

3. She Deals with Skin Breakout

Maddie cleans up post-workout. “The reason why I shower immediately after I workout is that I am prone to breaking out on my face and back,” Maddie explains. “So if I quickly get into the shower right after I don't break out as much.” She added to Cosmo that opening up about her skin woes has helped other people. “I’ve been dealing with back acne for two years on and off, and I’m so insecure about it at every photo shoot. Eventually, I was just like, Okay, I’m going to put it on my Story. I said, ‘This is what I’ve been dealing with. Is anyone else going through this, and do you have any recommendations?’ I had so many people reach out. I kind of want to use Instagram now as a more conversational thing, where we can talk about things that maybe aren’t always so great.”

4. She Fuels Up with Protein Bars

In order to get all the protein she needs, Maddie relies on protein bars, especially right after a workout. The convenient snack offers a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.

5. She Goes to Therapy

“I will always be a perfectionist, but not in the way where in Dance Moms you would see me crying and then I just suck it up and get right back to it,” Maddie told Cosmopolitan. “I’m going to therapy, talking to people, doing all the things. I’ve learned I’m not going to be in trouble if I’m feeling bad or if I have an injury. That’s the biggest difference. It’s amazing that I’m able to feel my feelings and not just push them down. I’m also just really clean. That’s where my perfectionism has transferred.”

Maddie Ziegler first became known for being a cast member on the Lifetime series Dance Moms. She then appeared in several music videos for Sia, notably “Chandelier.” Ziegler has transitioned to acting, appearing in the 2022 version of West Side Story, Bloody Hell, and Fitting In. In a recent Instagram post, Ziegler posed in black clothing. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Maddie Ziegler stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s True To Herself

Ziegler opened up about her career in an interview with Teen Vogue. She says that she makes sure to stay true to herself as she navigates her career. “I'm always actively trying to be the best version of myself for everyone,” she says. “But sometimes you have hard days and you just can't. I have to remind myself, among the chaos, to make sure that I don't lose myself, especially with being so young. I have to just remain who I am at my core.”

2. She’s No Longer A Perfectionist

Personal,Boundaries,Mind,Map,,Concept,For,Presentations,And,ReportsShutterstock

Ziegler tells Teen Vogue that she is working on no longer being a perfectionist. “Being a dancer, you’re taught to be disciplined and listen to whatever your teacher is saying. You don't talk back to them, and in a way, you feel like you don't have a voice — you can't have an opinion. I'm ready to leave behind the perfectionist. I'm ready to leave behind the people-pleaser. I will carry those traits with me forever because that's who I am, but I'm really proud of myself for setting boundaries in the last year.”

3. She Doesn’t Stress Out

In her Teen Vogue interview, Ziegler shared how she manages her stress. “If I were tired or stressed [on set], I’d say, ‘No worries, no worries,’ and our makeup artist would say, ‘Worries, worries,’” she recalls with a laugh. “When you’re in those moments, sometimes you have to make light of it. I think I sarcastically approach stress with, ‘Oh, I’m not worried at all,’ and it actually does help me through it.”

4. She’s Proud Of Herself

Ziegler tells Teen Vogue that she is very proud of herself, and that she realized this after filming Fitting In. “Lindy will live with me through my life and through the other roles that I take on,” she says. “I am a very harsh critic toward myself, and it's hard to be proud, but the first time I watched [Fitting In], I was like, Wow! I did things that I didn't know I was capable of, and I'm proud, which is rare. I don't usually say that.”

5. She Uses Sunscreen

Ziegler shared some of her skincare secrets in an interview with Teen Vogue. She says that she makes sure to use sunscreen. “You have to keep your skin protected and especially starting young so that you don’t face a lot of problems like sunspots in the future. I use the clear EltaMD sunscreen and it’s great.” John Hopkins Medicine states, “Wearing sunscreen is one of the best — and easiest — ways to protect your skin’s appearance and health at any age. Used regularly, sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging.”

1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Ziegler shared some of her favorite skincare tips to WhoWhatWear. “In the morning, I wash my face. Recently, I've been using Rhode, so I'll do the Peptide Glazing Fluid next. I'll use that, and then I use her Barrier Restore Cream Moisturizer. Then I'll finish that with my EltaMD sunscreen and my lip balm. Sometimes I'll do the Caudalie spray too. I literally spray that on my face so many times throughout the day. Then for nighttime, it's basically that routine without the sunscreen, but I also like to add in an exfoliating toner after I've washed my face. I don't do this every day, but definitely once or twice a week. I'll use the Lotion P50 from Biologique Recherche.”

2. She Uses Sunscreen

In her WhoWhatWear interview, Ziegler revealed some of her favorite products. She was aksed what she feels the most important skincare product is. “Definitely sunscreen, always,” Ziegler answered. “That's number one. I can't leave the house without it.”

3. She Prevents Acne

Ziegler tells WhoWhatWear that she makes sure to prevent acne. She also names some of her favorite products that limit acne. “The Elta MD. I have acne-prone skin that's very sensitive to a lot of things, and that's like the only one that doesn't break me out. I love the tinted version as well.”

4. She Keeps Her Skin Hydrated

Ziegler tells WhoWhatWear that hydration is important to her, especially when it comes to skincare. “I think anything that's hydrating because I tend to have combination skin that will get really dry depending on the weather,” she explains. “I will not have that! Any sort of exfoliant like Lotion P50. Or I really like the Sonya Dakar Blue Butterfly Balm. It's seriously the most hydrating product—it's made out of a natural tea, I believe, and it's beautiful. I will lather my whole face and neck in that.”

5. She Dances

Ziegler is a dancer, so naturally, this is the main way she stays in shape. She recently joined long-time collaborator Sia, and Labrinth on stage at Coachella. Ziegler shared these highlights from the day on Instagram, which included videos of her dancing. She captioned the post, “Coachella…Wow. A true honor. ❤️ Thank you @labrinth. Thank you @siamusic I love you special humans an unexplainable amount !!!!”

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

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.
