The EastEnders star flaunts her fabulous figure via her latest Instagram post while vacationing in Portugal. “Holibobs,” she captioned the beauty bathing suit snap, taken at sunset. How does the gorgeous star maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 5 ways Maisie Smith 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 Started Her Own Fitness Program

In 2017, the then-teen actress started a fitness program called Results 4 Teens, to help other youth get into shape. "It all started with a couple of training sessions that I posted on Instagram which got hundreds of comments," she told The Sun in 2017. "It was then I realized that so many teens struggle with not only how to keep fit but also the confidence to join in group classes sometimes!"

2. She Loves Exercise

Smith actually enjoys exercise. "I'll be honest, I love going to the gym," she told New! Magazine. "It's my happy place where I can work on myself." Smith also admits that the lockdown did stunt her fitness. "In lockdown it was closed and I didn't do one home workout. I just couldn't be bothered."

3. She Fuels Her Body for Fitness

"Outlander" Season Six PremiereKarwai Tang/WireImage

Smith always fuels her body for fitness. When she was prepping for Strictly, she told Heat that she had to eat more to fuel herself for the training. 'It's weird. Everyone always says "Going on the show you're just going to shed the weight. But I haven't noticed that about myself because I eat triple the amount of food I was eating before,” she said. “I think I'm the only celeb to actually put on weight.”

4. She Does Yoga

Aside from rigorous workout sessions at the gym, Smith is a big fan of yoga. "I have always loved keeping active, especially with yoga," she told The Sun. "Yoga is more than just a workout—it’s actually a combination of four components: postures (like tree pose), breathing practices, deep relaxation, and meditation that can transform your health on many different levels," says Harvard Health.

5. She Is Open About Her Insecurities

Smith has been very open about her body image struggles. “Here lies a collection of photos taken at the exact same time, however, from different angles, under different lighting. The past few years I’ve been VERY insecure about my legs. I covered them up as much possible. No matter how many people told me ‘cellulite is natural.. everyone has it..’ I still hated them,” she captioned an Instagram post. “It’s taken me a while but I’m starting to accept these aspects of myself that I’ve always seen as ‘flaws’. I wore gym shorts (out of the house) for the FIRST time a couple of months ago n I was so so proud of myself 💘. I wish I could I say that I LOVE my body but I’m still working on that 😅 The reason I posted this was because I understand that it’s SO hard to love yourself and see your ‘flaws’ as ‘qualities’. We ALL have things we want to change about ourselves. But I hope this can help other people feel more confident about their own insecurities. BECAUSE YOU ARE FRIGGING BEAUTIFUL. And because self love is the best love.”

Strictly Come Dancing star Maisie Smith is a very busy woman—not only is she taking part in the hit dancing competition, but she is also juggling her filming schedule on UK soap EastEnders. The 21-year-old actress posted photos of herself wearing a stunning purple bathing suit, posing next to boyfriend Max George as they holiday in Cyprus. “I don’t do cold,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Smith 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 Loves Yoga

Smith enjoys regular yoga sessions at a local studio. “More than 90% of people who come to yoga do so for physical exercise, improved health, or stress management, but for most people, their primary reason for doing yoga will change,” says Marlynn Wei MD, JD. “One study found that two-thirds of yoga students and 85% of yoga teachers have a change of heart regarding why they practice yoga—most often changing to spirituality or self-actualization, a sense of fulfilling their potential. The practice of yoga offers far more than physical postures and headstands—there is self-reflection, the practice of kindness and compassion, and continued growth and awareness of yourself and others.”

2. She Plays the Piano

Not only does she dance and act, but Smith can sing and play the piano. “There are few things that stimulate the brain the way music does,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. “If you want to keep your brain engaged throughout the aging process, listening to or playing music is a great tool. It provides a total brain workout. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory.”

3. She Has Struggled With Self-Confidence

"Outlander" Season Six PremiereKarwai Tang/WireImage

Growing up in the public eye has been tough on Smith, who says she struggled to speak at times. “I was on Eastenders for 13 years, which was all I can remember. I sometimes think I’m more comfortable being Tiffany than I am being Maisie,” she says. The good thing about being an actress is that I know how to look confident. In reality I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve struggled, sort of, speaking. And I’ve had, not a stutter but I just could go blank and words wouldn’t come out and I think the more that happened, the more people would just, sort of, talk over me. I found it pretty hard and I just hated the person I was for a long time. The reason I worked so hard and pushed myself was because the one thing I can’t control is the thing I’m most scared of. I’d love to overcome these feelings of fear. I want to be this strong person that I try to be.”

4. She Trains Really Hard

Smith had to train hard to prepare for her stint on Strictly Come Dancing. “I love training,” she says. “When I found out I was going on the show I realized I needed to be as fit as I could as they knew I could dance so they would really push me. Before Strictly I was going to the gym six or seven days a week. I would spend two hours there. I put pictures of my body on social media. Because I don’t post a lot of them from the gym, people think I am naturally like that, but I have worked so hard. I didn’t want to go into this and not do well because I wasn’t strong enough.”

5. She Embraces Her Physique

MaisieSmithMaisie Smith/Instagram

Smith has felt insecure about her body in the past, something she is learning to overcome. “The past few years I’ve been VERY insecure about my legs. I covered them up as much possible,” she says. “No matter how many people told me ‘cellulite is natural.. everyone has it..’ I still hated them. It’s taken me a while but I’m starting to accept these aspects of myself that I’ve always seen as ‘flaws’. I wore gym shorts (out of the house) for the FIRST time a couple of months ago n I was so so proud of myself 💘. I wish I could I say that I LOVE my body but I’m still working on that 😅.”

Maisie Smith is best known for her role on the drama EastEnders. She also appeared on the 2020 season of Strictly Come Dancing. She shares a lot of gorgeous photos on Instagram. Recently, she posted a set of poolside photos on her page. In them, she wore a black swimsuit. Smith captioned the post, “Christmas was great & everything but I’m ready for summer now.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Maisie Smith stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Tries New Things

Smith and her boyfriend, former The Wanted member, Max George, like to do new exciting things together. While on a trip to the desert, the couple partook in ATV riding and dune surfing. Smith shared these photos and videos on Instagram of the two doing those activities. She captioned the post, “Max didn’t like my driving.”

2. She Eats Fruit

Smith makes sure to eat healthy. One food she enjoys is fruit. Smith shared this photo on Instagram of herself enjoying a fruit plate in Istanbul. Harvard Health states, “A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check. Eating non-starchy vegetables and fruits like apples, pears, and green leafy vegetables may even promote weight loss. Their low glycemic loads prevent blood sugar spikes that can increase hunger.”

3. She Walks

Smith likes to walk to stay in shape. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself on walks. Smith posted this set of photos of herself meeting a dog in Istanbul. She captioned the post, “Went for a stroll, met a dog and that was our love story.”

4. She Loves the Sun

The sun is beneficial for several reasons. Primarily, it's a vital source of Vitamin D, which is essential for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Sunlight exposure triggers the skin to produce Vitamin D, reducing the risk of Vitamin D deficiency. It also helps regulate our circadian rhythms, improving sleep quality and mood. Moderate sunlight exposure has been linked to a reduction in certain mood disorders. Additionally, sunlight can improve skin conditions like psoriasis. However, it's important to balance sun exposure with skin cancer risk, using sunscreen and avoiding excessive exposure, particularly during peak sunlight hours.

5. She Swims

Swimming is a highly beneficial exercise, offering numerous health advantages. It's a low-impact activity, making it suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, including those with joint pain or arthritis. Swimming engages multiple muscle groups and provides a full-body workout, enhancing muscular strength and endurance. It also improves cardiovascular health, increasing heart rate without stressing the body. Additionally, swimming is an excellent way to burn calories, aiding in weight management. The buoyancy of water offers a relaxing and therapeutic effect, reducing stress and improving mental health. Regular swimming can improve flexibility and posture, and is also a valuable skill for safety around water.

Millie Court, star of Love Island, sends “Postcards from Ibiza 🖤✨,” as she captioned a new swimsuit photo. “MILLIEEEEE 😍😍🔥,” said Kaz Kamwi in the comments. “Omg 😍😍😍😍😍,” said Liberty Poole. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Millie Court 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 Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

Millie Court is making the most of her trip to Morocco, in her swimsuit. The Love Island star steamed up social media this week, sharing some photos of herself looking incredibly fit in a brown swimsuit. She captioned the snaps “Marrakech.” Her followers went wild over the photos. “Wow,” wrote one. “Unreal girl,” added another. How does the reality star stay fit? Read on to see 6 ways Millie Court 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 Want to Be Skinny

Millie lost a lot of weight right before she went on Love Island, but it didn’t make her happy. "[In] the weeks leading up to Love Island, I felt the need to lose several pounds because I knew I was going to be surrounded by beautiful, slim girls. I worked out every single day and ate salad for lunch and to tell you the truth I was miserable while doing it,” she said in a post. "I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them." Bottom line: Skinny doesn’t mean you are healthy or happy.

2. She Loves Her Curves

ITV Palooza! 2021 - ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Millie is all about self-love. "We're all different shapes and sizes, each size perfect in our own way. But please don't get stuck to the beauty standard of 'perfection'," she added in the same post. "Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything that creates you as a person.""

3. She Prioritizes Self-Care

Millie is all about taking much needed time to indulge herself in self-care. One of her favorite activities? Soaking in a bath. "Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…," she captioned this Instagram snap. Baths can be good for your body and mind. One recent study found that they boast cardiovascular benefits and they have also been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression.

4. She Eats Healthy Most of the Time

Pride Of Britain Awards 2021 - Red Carpet ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

Millie maintains a very health diet. However, she does give herself room to indulge on occasion. One of her favorite treats? A burger. “Last stop in LA,” she captioned this photo of herself standing outside of In-N-Out Burger.

5. She Hikes

Millie loves going for hikes outdoors and connecting with nature. “Obligatory Hollywood sign pic wearing all @puma,” she captioned this snap from one of her excursions. “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.

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

Pilates

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.

Emsculpt NEO

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.

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."
