1. Take Group Classes

When Maisie was still a teen in 2017 she launched a fitness program called Results 4 Teens. "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. Find Joy in Exercise

According to Maisie, finding joy in exercise is key. "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."

3. Eat to Fuel Your Body

Smith views food as fuel and makes sure to eat what her body needs. For example, while prepping for Strictly, she told Heat that she had to eat more because she was training more. “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. Do Yoga

Smith also does a lot of yoga. "I have always loved keeping active, especially with yoga," she told The Sun. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. Work On Loving Yourself

Smith recently opened up about her body image struggles, revealing that she was very insecure about her legs. “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.”

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.

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 Takes Baths and Soaks in the Hot Tub

Maisie indulges in self care by taking baths and soaking in the hot tub. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits. “Sleigh queen,” she captioned this post.

2. She Exercises

Smith enjoys exercising. "I'll be honest, I love g0ing 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." Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans

3. She Doesn’t Starve Herself

Smith refuses to starve herself. 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. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. She Walks

Masie loves going for walks with her loved ones – a great way to bond and burn calories. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

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

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

“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.

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult.

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

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.

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

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.”

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health

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.
