1. Be Mindful About Your Diet

Madison pays attention to her diet. "I try to stay pretty healthy,” she told Bravo Insider. “I’m pretty mindful about whatever I eat." Before starting a meal plan, make sure it:

  • "Includes a variety of foods from the major food groups: fruits; vegetables; whole grains; low-fat dairy products and lean protein, including beans and other legumes, nuts and seeds; and healthy fats
  • Provides guidelines for how much food to choose from each group
  • Includes foods you can find in your local grocery store — rather than specialty or gourmet store items
  • Fits your tastes, lifestyle and budget," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. Try a Health Cleanse

Madison is a fan of doing healthy, food-based cleanses to jump start her health. At the start of 2021 she committed to a 30-day clean-eating plan, fueling up on veggies, proteins, and healthy fats and eliminating dairy, alcohol, and artificial sugars. In order to set herself up for success, she completely emptied her refrigerator and started from scratch, filling it with only foods on her cleanse.

3. Juice

Madison drinks a veggie-fueled beverage when she wakes up. "I always try to do some kind of juice in the morning. I do celery juice for skin purposes. I don’t have the best skin so I try doing that," she said. "Most adults should eat the equivalent of 2 1/2 cups of vegetables a day. The exact amount you need depends on your age, sex and level of physical activity. Any type of vegetable counts, whether it's raw, cooked, fresh, frozen or canned. Vegetable juice counts, too. Just make sure it's 100 percent vegetable juice and low in sodium," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Hire a Personal Trainer

Madison trains with a pro. "I work out with a guy named Gunnar, who has been a friend of mine for so long. Him and his girlfriend are great. They help me with meal plans and stuff like that just to keep me on track because they know that I’ve worked hard," she said. "I would say he’s more of an accountability coach, which I appreciate 'cause sometimes I can get into the work mode and mom mode and put the health on the back burner."

5. Exercise a Few Days a Week

Madison works out consistently but not every day. "I try to work out at least four days a week, sometimes it’s three days. It’s all generally mental health for me, I crave it. I definitely feel that it makes me a little bit less on edge," she revealed to Bravo.

6. Take an Exercise Class

Madison admits she is "very competitive,” so group fitness helps motivate her. "I love working out with other people, all ages, all sizes, because when the girl beside me is giving me a run for my money, you know I’m running fast. I’m like, 'OK, girl. Let’s go,'" she told Bravo.

LeCroy says that she struggles with rosacea and sees a professional to help her with this. “I go to a place here in Charleston called Ella Ora and see Kristen Joy VanGuilder who people come from all over to see, I’m lucky to get an appointment. She has me on MBR products, it’s a German brand. I have suffered with rosacea recently and she has me on all these calming products. I’ve had to chill out on my workouts and the red wine unfortunately because of it, but I do use all the MBR products religiously.”

2. She Removes Her Makeup

Being on TV, LeCroy has to wear a lot of makeup, and she makes sure to get it all off. She shared her tips to New Beauty, “I wash my face at night with the cleanser ($98) and do my healing mask ($330) and wake up to no texture and just radiant skin, which is hard when you are wearing like all this T.V. makeup, and it can get a little congested. I always follow up with the EltaMD Light Tinted Susncreen ($35).”

3. She Gets Facials

LeCroy tells New Beauty that she likes to have facials done. “Let me tell you the one facial that I just did because it’s recent, but it was to help with rosacea. Ella Ora hooked me up with a DyeVL laser treatment. It wasn’t painful and I didn’t have any downtime, so I didn’t look crazy for days or anything like that. It just smooths out the skin and is good for rosacea. I’ve been doing that and then just your signature facials.”

Madison LeCroy, star of Bravo’s Southern Charm, has amassed a significant social media following, where she shares glimpses into her life, including her recent family vacation to the Maldives. Posting beach photos with her partner, LeCroy captioned them, “Salty air, sunkissed hair, and endless love 🌊💙 Living our best life in paradise at the @ritzcarltonmaldives.” LeCroy’s lifestyle combines fitness with fun activities like swimming, golf, and exercise routines that keep her in top shape. From indulging in healthy meals like shellfish to sharing her workout routines, including rowing and cycling, she emphasizes balance in her fitness and wellness habits, showing how she enjoys staying active even while on vacation.


1. She Swims

In her Instagram post, LeCroy is seen swimming in the ocean. The Mayo Clinic states that swimming is very beneficial. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

2. She Loves Shellfish

LeCroy enjoys eating shellfish. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself enjoying crab legs at a restaurant. The AANMC states that shellfish are very healthy. “Shellfish contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help to promote cardiovascular health. In one study, men who consumed more than 7 ounces of shellfish per week were 59% less likely to die of a heart attack than men who consumed less than 1.74 ounces (50 grams) per week.”

3. She Golfs

LeCroy likes to play golf to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself on the course. LeCroy shared this video of herself taking a swing, captioning it, “Golf wives club.” In this carousel post from a vacation she took, she included a photo of herself on the course. Better Health states that golf is very beneficial. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

4. She Uses A Rowing Machine

LeCroy shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is using a rowing machine. The Cleveland Clinic states that using a rowing machine is very beneficial. “Like running or a session on an elliptical, rowing is a full-body workout. But unlike those activities, you don’t have to stand to do it. That means less pressure on your legs and more work for your upper body.”

5. She Uses An Exercise Bike

Madison LeCroy.5Madison LeCroy/Instagram

In the previous Instagram video, LeCroy is seen on an exercise bike. Penn State PRO Wellness states that this is very beneficial. “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes. If you use a bicycle with handles, you’ll also be able to work your upper body muscles, including your biceps, triceps, and shoulders.”

Madison Iseman is an actress, best known for her role in the recent Jumanji films. She recently enjoyed a beach day with her boyfriend. Iseman shared photos on Instagram of the couple. She captioned the post, “A lil summer luvin’. POV Liv’s camera.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Madison Iseman stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Wants To Try New Roles

Los,Angeles,,Ca,,-,Nov,14,,2022:,Madison,Iseman,ArrivesShutterstock

Iseman doesn’t want to be penciled into a box. She opened up about her career and what roles she went after in an interview with Grumpy Magazine. “After Jumanji, I purposely tried to find roles that were very different. I wanted to do so many different things — to cut my hair, to dye it brown — because the number one thing people knew me from was the blond bimbo who’s taking selfies in her room [and] I was tired of playing that. I love Bethany and I would do her a million times again, but I don’t want to play a million different versions of Bethany.”

2. She Swims

Iseman loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Iseman shared these photos of herself and friends in the ocean. Better Health states that swimming is a great workout. “Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body. Builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. Helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs. Tones muscles and builds strength. Provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

3. She Hikes

Iseman likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself and her friend hiking to a waterfall. Iseman captioned the post, “We went chasing waterfalls.” The National Park Services state, “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.”

4. She Has Abs

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,14:,Madison,Iseman,At,The,Shazam!Shutterstock

A strong core, marked by well-defined abdominal muscles or "abs", offers more than just aesthetic appeal. Abs play a pivotal role in overall body functionality. They stabilize the spine, improve posture, and reduce the risk of back injuries. Engaging and strengthening these muscles can aid in efficient movement patterns, making daily tasks easier and athletic endeavors more effective. Moreover, a strong core enhances balance and stability, reducing the potential for falls. Furthermore, exercises targeting the abs can boost metabolic rates, aiding in weight management. In summary, toned abs signify a robust core foundation, crucial for optimal physical health and functionality.

5. She Likes the Sun

Sunshine plays a crucial role in our well-being. The most recognized benefit is its ability to stimulate the skin to produce vitamin D, essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Natural sunlight can also enhance mood, alleviate depression, and regulate our internal body clock, supporting a healthy sleep-wake cycle. While these benefits are compelling, it's vital to enjoy sunshine responsibly. Overexposure can lead to sunburn, premature skin aging, and increased risk of skin cancers. To maximize benefits and minimize risks, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, don protective clothing, and limit direct sun exposure during peak hours, typically between 10 am and 4 pm.

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.

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 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.”
