Pampita also posted these highlights from a trip to Ibiza, including shots of herself in the pool. She also posted this photo of herself in a hotel pool in Madrid.

2. She’s Disciplined

Pampita has a strong work ethic. She tells Teleshow that this attitude was developed when she was young. “I studied ballet all my childhood. That demanding discipline to which you had to dedicate 100% of your time. I left school and went to rehearse, from Monday to Saturday. It was very difficult, but it taught me, it gave me bases for the rest of my life.”

3. She Stuck To Her Goals

Pampita tells Teleshow that one of the reasons she has so much success is her determination. “I am very aware of everything. Also the luck I had, because there is always a magic wand that gives you that first step. Then you have to work hard and be professional, becauseI had many beautiful and talented companions, but they fell by the wayside. Perhaps I was clearer about the final goal.”

4. She Embraces Herself

Pampita might be a model, but she always doesn’t feel pressure to look perfect. She tells Teleshow that she embraces who she is at any phase. “I don't feel pressure to be something else. Because today I'm breastfeeding, I'm a mom, I'm at that stage.”

5. She’s Open

Pampita is open to whatever life throws at her. She says to Teleshow that this helped her find her husband. “I always had the door open,” she says. “There are people who perhaps keep it closed and complain because they can't find anyone. You have to have your heart prepared to receive too.”

1. She Drinks Tomato Juice

Sabrina once touted drinking tomato juice. “From the oldest café in the world ... tomato juice, very spicy and with a lot of lemon …,” she said. “They’re good for you, too. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, including lycopene. They contain potassium, vitamin C and are a source of fiber,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Loves to Swim

“Nuvole … ☁️,” she captioned a swimsuit photo once, in a pool. "Swimming is easy on the joints, and it's very good for both cardiac health and your core strength. And it also can give you really excellent strength around the shoulders, and hips and knees," says Dr. Matthew Crowe, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert, to the Mayo Clinic. "Swimming is a wonderful sport. I definitely recommend swimming for people of all ages.”

3. She Enjoys Good Food

Sabrina recently posted a photo eating an indulgent treat. “Officially not on a diet ... 😂 I have lunch with my friend !!! @suranyi__ @elisabettafranchi,” she captioned a new photo.

4. She Hits the Gym

Sabrina once posed at the gym, looking strong. “Body ⚡️⚡️⚡️,” she captioned it. “For strength training, try to find ways to perform simple body-weight exercises throughout the day: squats, push-ups, lunges and sit-to-stand exercises are great options. But be sure to modify them as needed to match your current fitness level. For example, you may prefer to do wall push-ups or push-ups on your hands and knees rather than full push-ups. You can also perform yoga, do a strength-training video or download a workout app to your smartphone,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Loves to be Outside

She loves to be outside. “If you're able to get outdoors, which may enhance immune function, walk or jog around your neighborhood. If you have a dog, add some time to your usual walks. Drive to a park or local hiking trail to get some exercise, being sure to keep your distance from other people, and keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you so you can clean your hands before you get back in the car. Go for a bike ride, do some gardening or play active games with your family,” says ACE Fitness.

Tay Conti, the Brazilian AEW wrestler (real name: Taynara Melo de Carvalho), was in Cancun for the weekend and shared not only a “Cancun photo dump” but also other photos of her on the beach, looking rested and healthy. The caption: “Una chica brasileña y nadie la frena 🎶 🇲🇽 Viva Mexico 😋.” (Rough translation: “A Brazilian girl and nobody stops her / Viva Mexico.”) How does she stay so fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see 5 ways Tay Conti 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 Does Squats

This is not the first time Conti has hit Mexico. Previously, she shared photos of her working out in Tulum. There she did a workout on the beach at the Tulum Jungle Gym. Among the workouts she did some squats. Here’s a squat exercise from trainer Mark Langowski:

“Squat Rack Body Row with one leg abduction.

Position the bar of a squat rack at about chest height and grab it with an overhand grip, hands about shoulder-width apart. Scoot your legs forward until your body is at a 45-degree angle to the ground and your weight is resting on your heels. Lift one leg off the floor and extend it out to the side about two feet. Keep it there as you pull yourself up until your chest touches the bar, then lower yourself back down. Do 8 reps with each leg; total of 16 rows.”

2. She Does Pull Ups

“Try a Chin Up or Pull Down,” says Langowski. “If you can perform a chin up, do 12 reps. If you can not perform a chin up, use an assisted pull-up machine and an assisted weight that will allow you to do 12 reps. (If there is not an assisted pull up machine available, use a lat pulldown machine with half your body weight as resistance.) Grip the chinup bar with an underhand grip, palms facing your, your hands shoulder-width apart. Hang from the bar and then pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar. Slowly lower yourself down and repeat. Focus here on keeping your abs engaged and using your upper back to pull yourself, not just your arms!”

3. Her Fitness Journey Started Young

“I grew up in Rio de Janeiro in a really poor neighborhood, and I felt like martial arts was my escape to have a better life. I actually started gymnastics when I was 7, and then right across from the club was a judo school, so I took up judo. I was the only girl, so I felt a little bit weird,” she told Kung Fu Kingdom.

4. She Aspires to Fight MMA Style

Conti wants to fight MMA style. “Yes, this is one of my goals that I want to achieve. I was never very good with my strikes and with my hands. With my kicks yes, but with my hands no. I have Judo and Jiu Jitsu that help me a lot. I’m working my hands right now to try to be better. When I set out to do something, I have to do it well,” Conti explained, “otherwise I will not do it. That is why I am training and I am determined. I am training every day. I spoke about a date and a person and yes, yes, I will be fighting in MMA very soon. I obviously have to talk to Tony and talk to everyone prior to come to an agreement; but it is one of my goals. I hope it happens very soon because I am working very hard for this,” she told Luca Libre.

5. She Values Mental Health

“Well, I was never really a shy person, but when I started in judo, I think because of depression due to the pressure of competition and everything, I started having some issues for which I had to ask help for. That’s when I realized that mental health is really important, so I did a lot of reading and had a great relationship with my therapist. Martial arts also showed me the importance of mental health in living a happy life,” she told Kung Fu Kingdom.

1. It’s Her Job

When Paola first started on the television show, her goal was to be an actress. But her career goals have shifted. "I have done so many things in my life—modeling, acting. I was a shoe designer and for me I never felt fulfilled,” she said on The Wrassingh Show. “I'm a personal trainer but that is something that I do for people. You know, I love training people. I love helping people with their fitness journey.”

2. She Wrestles

After watching the movie Fighting with My Family, Paola started wrestling. "I didn't grow up in wrestling. I didn't grow up watching wrestling and it's not common in Colombia. And that's why for me starting, I don't wanna say that I'm starting late because it's never too late to start something that you feel passionate about, because you can do so many things, but what if something else is what you are supposed to do? And I feel that that's me right now: Wrestling. If I knew about wrestling, I would've done this while ago, but the time is right now and I'm here," she said on The Wrassingh Show. “I feel like when I get into the ring, I can be this person, I can be this strong person. I can do so many things in the ring that like me in my normal life, I wouldn't do.”

3. Her Workouts Are Hardcore

Paola’’s comitment to fitness is intense. "You normally have three to four classes a week. Sometimes I have to travel to other states to trai n with other people, because it requires me for what I'm working right now. My current coach is Loki and he's very strict. He's very intense with his training. I'm always learning. Look, when you have passion for something, you just go and learn it and you do everything it takesto actually make it work and make it happen. And that's what I'm doing,” she said in the same interview. “So I have to work hard to be among the best ones.”

4. She Is Vegan

Paola reveals that her trick for getting back into shape after having a baby had to do with her vegan diet, which she adopted to improve her gastrointestinal issues. "I started to feel sick because all of the junk food and the fast food," she explained in one of her YouTube videos. "My stomach was hurting, my stomach was always bloated, and I was feeling super super bad, so I went to the doctor.” They couldn’t help, so she did her own research and maintains “avoiding eating meat helped me lose the baby weight, it helped me feel more energetic, it made me feel better.”

5. She Boxes

Another way Paola stays in fighting form and preps for her wrestling matches? She boxes. “I love everything I do, and I do everything I love,” she captioned this video of herself throwing punches.

Rayna Vallandingham is flashing her washboard abs – in a two-piece exercise set from Alo. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her impressive midsection during a workout at the gym. “dojang diaries,” she captioned the series of snaps. “Magnific! Very very beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “♥️More like diaries of a hottie♥️” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Be Consistent

Consistency – at the gym and the martial arts studio – is the key to success. "It is a way of life," Rayna says. "It's not only teaching your body movements and being in synchronicity with your body, but also just like the mental aspect of it."

Fight Your Way to a Hot Body

Rayna is a big fan of martial arts. She has been doing taekwondo since she was 2, earning her first black belt at 6. "In the very beginning, my parents put me in the sport because I was just really shy, and I think they could tell that I needed something," says Vallandingham, who lives and trains in Los Angeles. "Immediately, I just loved it. I felt at home, and every single day, instead of watching Dora, I wanted to go to the dojo,” she told Well + Good. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function, psychological health, weight loss, and physical fitness.

Work on Strength and Flexibility

Rayna recommends prioritizing strength, flexibility, and power. "Of the three, I think strength and flexibility are the top two," Vallandingham says. "We used to have people stand on my legs and force my knees to come down in butterfly stretch," she says. "I have permanent damage to my body—I have tendonitis [because of this]."

Lift Weights

If you want a strong, lean body like Vallandingham, you must lift for it. The star strength trains, focusing on supersets, doing two moves back-to-back that target the same muscle groups to double down on their gains. One of her favorite exercises is a goblet squat. She stands with her feet shoulder-width apart, folded forward until she can slide her palms underneath her soles (you could also hold your ankles or calves), then bends her knees, lowering her butt toward the floor while lifting her chest, coming into a deep squat. She'll bend and extend her legs several times in this position. Then, it's on to the main event, holding a weight in her hands while bending down into a deep squat. "I love utilizing a Bosu ball—they're pretty much in every single gym," she adds.

Stretch

Rayna never skips stretching. She starts by by lying on the floor with her legs up the wall and then allowing them to open out into a side split. "I let gravity do its work because that's my body telling me, okay, this is where we're at," she says. "My hips are opening on their own, and I'm not having to force anything." “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Charli Hawkins is training in the snow – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Olympian shows off her fantastic figure – including her flat abs – in an exercise set while enjoying the winter weather. “TRAINING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! ❄️🥶❤️✨Gearing up in this altitude for the LONDON MARATHON this April! I’m so excited to see what my mind and body can make happen! To my marathon runners: it’s your time to shine, PLEASE tell me ALL of your tips, all of your advice, and for all of you who understand what I’m about to attempt, please send your words of encouragement 😂 Also feel free to try to talk me out of this as well thanks👍 We are on the training countdown. Turning a sprinter, jumper, and thrower into a long distance runner 🫣🙌 What do you think my time will be?” 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.

Minfulness and Meditation

Charli practices mindfulness. Before going for a run, she says words of intention. “I am willing. I am grateful. I surrender,” she revealed during an interview with San Diego Magazine. Meditation:

“When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Stretching

She also makes sure to stretch. “If you ever can think of some dynamic stretches: F.A.S.T. ✨🙌 My left hip and right QLs have been SO tight lately so I’m on a journey of getting them right! What’s bugging you at the moment???” she captioned a post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here Is The Right Way To Run

During her interview with San Diego, Charli explained how you should be running. “Remember, the sole of the foot is showing right in front of us,” she said, doing a type of high-knee movement. “To do this, you’re over exaggerating your running form while standing still. Raise your knee up, point your toes to the clouds (forming an A), and then pedal the sole of your foot forward before striking your knee down. It’s more complicated than it sounds after 30-plus years of moving a certain way,” the writer explained.

Positive Attitude

In a recent post Charli revealed things she learned about positivity. “Patience is easier when it isn’t required,” she said. “The people around you are BLESSINGS (which I feel like I already understood but sometimes it’s nice to have it emphasized).” Also, “We are up, we are down, but trusting the process sometimes means knowing that it’s all good even when it’s not the best” and “Making a plan is the best option for everything. It’s ok if the plan doesn’t go perfect, but just willy-nilly-ing it is not the best option when you want to get things done.”

Never Giving Up

Charli refuses to give up. “Understand what you want first, and then go for it. Then keep going for it all the time, and, eventually, you’ll get it,” she said during her interview.

Giulia Arena Swears By These 5 Habits For Her Beach Body

Giulia Arena first made waves when she won the 2013 Miss Italia pageant. Since then, she’s become a successful actress, TV host, and model. Arena recently took a trip to the Maldives. She shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. In them, Arena is seen in a white swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Native habitat.”

Biking

Giulia enjoys cycling. During her trip to the Maldives Giulia went bike riding. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Reading

Giulia is also a fan of books. In the Maldives, she took some time to relax and read. 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.

Snorkeling

Giulia snorkels, recently discovering the “Sea Lung,” she revealed in a post. “It reaches 60cm long with a weight of almost 10kg, and represents the largest medusa of the Mediterranean. I don’t know why, but I have always experienced the charm of Jellyfish: creatures that are essentially simple and yet capable of surviving entire geological epochs floating, light and slow, between the currents. She, remains one of the most beautiful sights of this summer.” 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.

Coffee

Giulia is a coffee drinker. She especially likes shots of espresso. 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.

Yoga

Giulia is a yogi. Here she is doing yoga. There are many reasons to do yoga, according to 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.”
