Malin Akerman is crazy in love! The Billions star gazes into the eyes of her husband, Jack Donnelly, in her latest social media snap as the two lounge in a swimming pool in bathing suits. “Love is in the air,” she captioned the romantic snaps. How does the actress manage to make 44 look like 22? Read on to see 10 ways Malin Akerman 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 Tries to Work Out Three Times a Week

Malin aims for “three workouts during the week on average” while she is shooting, she told Good Housekeeping. “My fitness routine is fairly relaxed, but I definitely pick up the pace as soon as a film comes along, especially one that’s a bit more physical,” she added to Parade.

2. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

​​Malin told Parade that she likes to maintain variety with exercise. “I’ve been doing a lot of online workouts, and I love Obé Fitness. It’s an app that has everything from Pilates and yoga to cardio boxing and dance classes,” she told Parade. “I like to change it up because some days I feel stronger and want to do weights. Other days, I feel like I need to stretch it out. We have a dog and live close to Griffith Park in Los Angeles, so I also go hiking a lot.”

3. She Practices Transcendental Meditation

“I try to take a moment for myself every day,” Malin revealed to Parade. “I took a course on Transcendental Meditation a while back, and I really enjoy that when I have time.” She also likes to get her vitamin D. “Getting out in nature has been great for me, and exercise is always good for my brain. I can wake up feeling groggy and tired and not ready for the day, but as soon as I get some movement in, it shifts my whole perspective and capacity to deal with the day,” she added. And, she is a big fan of talking it out. “When I need it, I definitely tap into a therapist. And sometimes, it’s just indulging in a glass of wine—that’s great for my mental health.”

4. 80 Percent of Her Diet Consists of Produce

Malin’s version of the 80-20 diet is a little different than most. “My goal is to have 80 percent of my diet be vegetables and fresh fruit,” she told Parade. “Whenever I cook a meal, I go to the fridge and say, ‘What veg are we going to have today and what am I going to accompany the veg with?’ Then I’ll toss in some protein and good carbs, like sweet potatoes or quinoa.”

5. She Cheats

However, she’s a sucker for a few less healthy foods. “With that said, if there’s a cheese platter in front of me, I’m eating all of it. It doesn’t matter if I’m going to get a stomach ache. Same with Nutella. I’ll just spoon it out like it’s ice cream. I also love giving myself treats, like chocolate, as rewards when I work out. Then, if you didn’t do the workout, you can say, ‘I don’t really deserve chocolate.’ It really works for me—small rewards along the way,” she told Parade.

6. She Doesn’t Enjoy Intermittent Fasting

You won’t find Malin waiting until later in the day to eat her first meal. “Intermittent fasting does not work for me. I know people swear by it, but I’m miserable,” she told Parade. “And I can’t do a juice fast either, there’s just no way. I get so angry. I find that small meals and snacks along the way work best for me, just keeping my insulin levels on an even keel. And everyone’s different. My husband does intermittent fasting, loves it and feels great from it.”

7. She Exercises in the Morning

Malin likes to get her workouts over with. “I know if I get up and do a little workout, I’m going to have more energy; I’m going to be more present for him. I also feel better after a workout and eating well and that in itself becomes an inspiration. I know we all say we don’t have the time. But there’s always time to be carved out in our day. We just have to find it and plan it. For me, the trick is getting it in first thing in the morning,” she told Parade.

8. She Never Skips Breakfast

"I always need breakfast,” the star confessed to Good Housekeeping. “I need that energy to start the day, and it saves me from making bad decisions when the mid-morning hunger kicks in.” She might also eat eggs or oatmeal.

9. She Keeps Healthy Snacks on Hand

One way Malin keeps herself from snacking on junk? “I stock my fridge with nutritious snacks that are easy to grab and go because I'm constantly on the move – whether it's on set or doing outdoor activities with my son,” she told Good Housekeeping.

10. She Drinks Nutrients

“My go-to healthy drink is: Coconut water or Kombucha. Good probiotics. Feels good. Tastes good, too,” Malin told Stylecaster. She also loves a green smoothie for breakfast, she added to Good Housekeeping.

Indeed, I had a problem with my body. Yes friends, I am 36 years old I am not the same as at 20! I'm a mom and my body has changed... we don't realize it at first, but the more the years pass, the more difficult it is to accept ourselves because our little flaws take over.

“Ma fille d’amour ❤️ #lily #bouledoguefrancais #love #labelle,” she captioned a photo of her dog. “Nothing compares to the joy of coming home to a loyal companion. The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. Pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their emotional and social skills,” says the NIH. “Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood.”

5. She Enjoys Winter

“Pour débuter la journée de noël, super balade avec les chiens de traîneaux ! 🛷 une expérience magnifique que nous ne sommes pas prêt d’oublier ! Et vous les ami(e)s vous passez un bon noël ?

Actress Salma Hayek isn’t afraid to show off her body. The Eternals and Magic Mike’s Last Dance star recently shared a stunning new photo on Instagram. In it, she took a boat ride, and wore a light blue two-piece swimsuit. Hayek captioned the post, “Some people don’t like grey days, but I think everyday is precious. Adore your week, No matter what it brings.”

She shared this post on Instagram of herself playing with different animals, and talked about protecting the environment in the caption. “This #WorldEnvironmentDay makes me think extra about the future generations and all the wonderful creatures that depend on our choices and it makes me want to try harder.”

Hayek is all about body-positivity, and wearing what she wants. In an interview with Glamour, she recalled a conversation with her daughter about a revealing red-carpet look she wanted to wear. “‘But honey, you see the belly,” Hayek said. “‘You see that I have a belly. And I don’t want to be sucking it in.’ And then I said, ‘You know what? Screw that. I’m 56, everything else looks good.’”

3. She Speaks Out Against Sexism

In an interview with Vogue, Hayek talked about the sexism she’s faced in Hollywood. She makes sure to speak out against these standards. "Why should we let them give us an expiration date? I think there is a lot of sexism when it comes to age. They give us a lot of deadlines that they don't have, such as [the idea that] after a certain age, you lose your beauty or nobody will want to marry you. It's incredibly unfair. I wanted to make this character, who is strong, fierce, beautiful, sexy and ready for adventure because women my age, in their mid-fifties, can still be that."

4. She Swims

5. She’s Present

In an interview with Marie Claire, Hayak revealed some of her secrets for building confidence. “It’s about being in the present and being alive. When you’re present you forget certain things; I’m not thinking about how old I am when I wake up. I don’t even look in the mirror. Though, sometimes when I do look in the mirror I go, ‘Oh Jesus’, or I’ll think ‘How come I’m always tired?’ and I’ll remember, ‘Ah, I’m older now’. When it dawns on me, I make the effort to connect with life again. I’m just amazed that at my age I’m still working and having the best moment of my career. At this point I’m just grateful.”

Despite being a model, Mir has been subjected to a lot of criticism on social media. Mir has had to deal with comments on her body. However, she isn’t afraid to call these people out, and did so in the caption of her recent Instagram post. “Under my last reel, a lot of you paid a lot of attention especially to a body part: my butt. For everyone in the comments asking where he is, here he is. And for those who asked what's wrong with him, what kind of question is this? 🤣 We’re talking body positivity, body acceptance, feeling good in your own body, being allowed to be yourself, more Instagram reality, and more. At the same time, my body will be in hundreds of comments (also from women, female empowerment? ) evaluated, unjustly criticized and unfortunately also insulted. ‘Something wrong with your ass!’, I'd rather look at myself in the mirror, that wouldn't be nice - how can something be right about an ass or not? Who defines this? Can I read this up somewhere?”

But please don’t criticize others for things that make them feel good about yourself.”

3. She Swims

1. She Goes Swimming

Silva loves to go to the beach and the pool. Naturally, she loves to swim and spend time in the water. She has posted a lot of photos on Instagram of herself swimming. She posted this set of photos of herself in the water.

2. She Overcame Body Issues

Silva hasn’t always been comfortable with her body. She revealed on the talk show Venga La Alegria that she used to have an eating disorder. “I looked at myself in the mirror and I got desperate because I did not see myself as I wanted to be. Also I did not do my part too, maybe I didn't have the best diet, I did not exercise – but at that time you do not know how to get fit or how to get the body you really want." After a medical scare, Silva has put those struggles behind her.

3. She Loves to Travel

Silva loves to travel, and shared a photo from the Eiffel Tower. “Even with a thousand filters I use, nothing compares to observing her beauty up close...❤️😍,” she captioned it. "Experiencing new places often stimulates positive reactions," says Dr. Esteban Franco-Garcia, a geriatric physician with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital, tells Harvard Health. "It helps you remain physically active and offers the brain new challenges." The institution adds: “In fact, a survey of American travelers reported by the Global Coalition on Aging found that 93% felt happier after time away, 77% believed their health improved afterward, and about 80% said travel increased their productivity, energy, and focus.”

4. She Goes on Adventures

“Live to the extreme, as if it were the last and without fear of enjoying yourself to the limit...Thank you @cancun_adventures for this crazy and fun experience, the natural beauty in our country is impressive. 😍🙌🏻,” she captioned a photo of herself on a dune buggy. (“Vive al extremo, como si fuera el último y sin miedo de disfrutar al límite…Gracias @cancun_adventures por esta loca y divertida experiencia, es impresionante la belleza natural que hay en nuestro país. 😍🙌🏻.”)

5. She Loves Tacos

“Mexico I love you, and tacos, well here is proof that it is one of my favorite Mexican foods. 😍👌🏻🙌🏻,” she wrote once, in front of a huge platter of tacos. “Most taco seasoning packets tell you to sprinkle on the seasoning after the meat cooks. But if you take the time to marinate the meat before even cooking it, you'll have a stronger burst of flavor in that taco. Try our fajita marinade for steak or chicken, or this easy marinade with homemade taco seasoning for fish and shrimp,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

(Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of 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.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas
