Actress Madison Pettis is enjoying what she calls an endless vacation in Punta Mita, Mexico. Pettis, 24, shared pictures of herself wearing a stunning red bikini and matching skirt, posing against a background of herself of beautiful greenery and palm trees. “Red flag warning 🚩,” she captioned the post. “Queen,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Pettis stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s a Dancer

Pettis grew up dancing, and loves how it makes her feel. “Dancing was my first love before acting,” she says. “I started competitive dancing when I was four years old, but there wasn't enough time to compete once I started acting full time. A few years ago, I was missing dance and decided to get back into it. Dance makes me so happy, and the environment in my classes is so incredible and supportive. We all hype each other up. I love watching everyone perform and shine at the end of a class.”

2. Sleep and Pilates

Pettis makes sure to get enough sleep every night for optimum health and energy. She also swears by regular Pilates sessions for physical and mental benefits. “I'm really big on getting 10 hours of sleep if it's possible,” she says. “I also do a lot of Pilates, and I feel like that's a big part of my wellness routine because I just feel so good afterward, it's like a mood booster.”

3. Beauty Secrets

Pettis is diligent about removing makeup and nurturing her skin health. “Everything you do ends up on your face and it’s such a simple lesson that took me a while to truly understand,” she says. “Mistakes you make with your skin when you’re young can last so long, like picking at your skin, getting too much sun exposure, etc. From late nights, to wearing heavy makeup, to everyday stress, you don’t realize how all of that is affecting your skin and how it affects it as you grow up. If you take care of your skin now, you’ll thank yourself later!”

4. Down-Time Rituals

Pettis makes a point of carving out time for herself. “Every night I play some music and unwind while I take off my makeup and do my nighttime routine,” she says. The actress also makes sure to do fun things that she enjoys. “Self-care is watching a basketball game, ordering food, and drinking a glass of wine,” she says.

5. Simplified Skincare

Pettis has simplified her skincare routine, and the results speak for themselves. “My skin is really sensitive—I have combination skin, and I’m acne-prone—so I’ve always had a hard time figuring out what products are right for me,” she says. “I’ve seen some people have skincare routines that are 10 steps long, and it seems so fun, but I’ve learned less is more with my skin.”

Madison Bailey, star of the Netflix hit Outer Banks, is back in Charleston, South Carolina, where they film the show. “Back in the city 🌴,” she captioned a series of photos, including a swimsuit pose. The actress—who is from the South, in Kernersville, North Carolina—has been open about both her health struggles and her triumphs. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Madison Bailey 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 Surfs

Madison has posted photos of her with surfboards, and called herself a “surfer girl.” One study of surfing found: “The results showed increased cardiovascular and muscular fitness related to surfing, improvement in the mental-wellbeing of ‘at risk’ young adults and veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), significant health benefits for individuals with disabilities, and more positive mood from outdoor vs. indoor exercise.”

2. She Hikes

Madison hikes when in Los Angeles. One recent study showed that time in nature can be great for your brain: “Spending prolonged time in nature may alter neural signatures that relate to the tendency to focus on internal thoughts and increase awareness of the external environment, but fluctuations in neuroelectric signals could be indicative of other potential neural processes. In any event, this research shows evidence that prolonged environmental exposures uniquely influence neuroelectric power during rest.”

3. She is Pansexual

Madison is pansexual. “I've been out since I was 18,” she told Glamour. “The show came out. And then I felt like I had to do some type of coming out, even though it was public knowledge to my friends and my 2,000 followers I had before. But then I was like, I should probably tell all these millions of people how I'm feeling.”

4. She Has Borderline Personality Disorder

“I think my personality disorder affects what I eat for breakfast and when I go to sleep, it affects absolutely everything I do. And I think being pan and having a personality disorder, I have definitely figured out where I fall into all of that because my personality disorder—basically I have a very broad personality. I have a lot of identity crises. I just didn't know what part of it was my sexuality and which part of it was me just feeling different that day,” she told Glamour.

5. Live Authentically, She Advises

6th Annual InStyle Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Don't let anybody pressure you to say you are something or you aren't something, don't let anyone tell you you're making a rash decision or why are you making this decision now?Just don't really let anybody interfere with how you're feeling. It is a self-discovery it is a self exploration that you have to do by yourself. Just try not to be scared. That's so much easier said than done, but just try to find a lot of comfort in knowing that you are on your own path to live your own life and you need to make the decisions that are best for you to be happy, to feel like you’re living authentically. There are too many people faking it,” she told Glamour.

1. Don’t Compare Yourself to Others

Madison, who has been acting since she was a child, keeps herself grounded by remembering that she is enough. “My mom reminds me not to compare myself to anyone else, which is great advice whether you’re a public figure or not. It’s easy to look around and wish you had what someone else has, or do what someone else is doing. But we are all on our own path! It’s important to appreciate each step in your journey,” she told Composure.

2. Trust Your Instincts

Self-awareness is a crucial part of Madison’s approach to staying on the right track. “Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Always listen to that little voice inside your head,” she added to Composure.

3. Treat Stress Head On

Madison explained to Teen Vogue that she has a trick for dealing with stress. “I think as a kid, you just have no idea what's at stake, you have no idea the pressure that's on you. You really don't understand what's going on. So everything was just like a blind optimism,” she said. “Now if I feel stressed, or feel a lot of pressure, feel like everything's weighing on me heavily, I try to get back into my inner child who always did it for the fun of everything, and just was ready to entertain and do what made her happy without thinking of what's at stake. That's when I feel most comfortable and can find that confidence again.”

4. Dance

Want a fit figure like Madison? Try dancing. She regularly takes dancing, including one that requires her to wear high heels as she gets down and shows off her hip-hop moves. In an Instagram Q&A she revealed that she “made it a resolution” to take classes, calling it “the best thing ever.” “I have so much fun in class,” she added.

5. Do Pilates

“I do a lot of pilates. Working out while you lay down is lit,” Madison revealed during an Instagram Q&A. She takes classes on both the mat and reformer, adding that during quarantine she would do videos of mat workouts paired with 10 minutes of abs and booty band exercises.

In her latest social media post, the Outer Banks star models a pink swimsuit from Kim Kardashian’s collection. “I know what I’ll be wearing this summer @SKIMS Swim,” she captioned the Instagram post, teasing the release of the upcoming collection.

Read on to see 7 ways Madison Bailey prioritizes her mental and physical health 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 Rides Horses

Madison is an equestrian and has a love for horses. She celebrated her 23rd birthday by going for a ride with friends. “A good old fashioned North Carolina birthday,” she captioned the image. Horseback riding is actually a good workout. “Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories,” says Dr. Dennis Sigler, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horse specialist and professor in the department of animal science at Texas A&M University in College Station. “If you do something a bit more strenuous such as cutting or reining, that can come out to nearly seven calories per minute for the entire length of the riding period,” adds the American Heart Association.

2. She Sweats Outdoors

Madison likes taking her sweat sessions outdoors, going for hikes and doing the stairs. “Missing my LA hikes,” she captioned a photo of one of her sweat sessions. “Do one thing a day that makes you proud of yourself. 3.5 miles and 500 stairs will suffice for today,” she captioned a separate Instagram post.

3. She Strength Trains

Madison also stays fit with the help of strength training. She also enlists her fans to be her workout buddies, including her Outer Banks “pogue” costar Jonathan Davis. “I miss my workout buddies,” she captioned this snap.

4. She Is Open About Sexuality

Madison, who is pansexual, is transparent about her sexuality, first discussing the topic in a 2020 TikTok. In it she said she can be attracted to, "Girls. Boys. Trans boys. Trans girls. Nonbinary babies. It's what's on the inside, boo." She feels "zero shame" about her sexuality, she added in another video. In fact, sharing her truth took a weight off her. "It was worth it. I feel lighter. I feel happier that I can just be so open and honest,” she said about it.

5. She Is Open About Mental Health

Madison is also honest about her mental health struggles. When she was 17, she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and uses her platform to educate people about it. “I was nervous about the response I would get. I think people’s response to any mental health issue that’s not depression or anxiety is that you’re crazy,” she told StyleCaster. “Especially if you have a personality disorder, they’re like, ‘Oh, what are their names?’ I’m like, ‘Not multiple personality disorder. I have borderline personality disorder.’ Basically I just have conflict with the one personality I have. There are a lot of misconceptions. But I realized at the end of the day, people want more accuracy.”

6. She Gets Her Zen On

Bailey helps manage her mental health condition with meditation, crystals, and staying aware of her own triggers, she told Entertainment Tonight. “One of the main [pros] is that likes and dislikes change often, so my aesthetic changes often. My music taste changes often," she added. "I have a very broad personality, which allows me to connect with a lot of people."

7. Her Outer Banks Character Inspires Her to Wear Less Makeup

Madison’s character on the show has inspired her to make changes. "I wear a lot less makeup than I did before the show," she told PopSugar. "That definitely changed the way I view makeup. I'm more into a natural, glowy look versus a full face. It made me more comfortable in my own skin. I feel a lot more naturally beautiful than I ever have."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
