1. She Alternates Boxing and Yoga

Sharapova is a tennis player, which means she has to stay in shape. She tells Well and Good that she likes to do a variety of workouts. Specifically, she alternates between cardio workouts, specifically boxing, and workouts focused on flexibility and toning, specifically yoga. "That's my current regimen: boxing typically three times a week, with a yoga flow workout mixed in between for recovery on the off-days," she says.

2. She Goes to the Sauna

Sharapova tells Well and Good that she loves going to a sauna. She says it helps her stay in shape and recover from workouts. "Outside of yoga, I'll use an infrared sauna a couple of times a week, too. I've found that it's such a good way to stay fresh.”

3. She Uses A Theragun

A big part of Sharapova’s wellness and recovery process is using a Theragun, which is a massage tool. She says that she aims to use it at least twice each day. "Before and after every workout, and just about every evening, I spend about 10 to 15 minutes using my Theragun to stay loose," she says to Well and Good.

4. She Gets Microdermabrasion

Sharapova spends a lot of time in the sun. While this means she gets a lot of vitamin D, this also means that she puts her skin at risk for sun damage. To help protect her skin, she tells Harper’s Bazaar that she likes to do skin treatments, specifically microdermabrasion. “I get the occasional dark spot from spending hours in the sun, and I have microdermabrasion treatments to lighten them."

5. She Fuels Her Body

Sharapova broke down her daily diet and approach to eating to Harper’s Bazaar. She says that while she tries to eat healthy most of the time, she also allows herself to indulge. "I'm very attuned to the type of fuel I put in my body, but I also allow myself a little indulgence,” she explains. “I’ve always had a sweet tooth.” Sharapova says that she loves sangria when she’s on vacation, and loves candy.

“I eat what I want, in moderation,” explained Lara. “I gravitate toward fresh veggies and clean foods, thankfully, but I am also a sucker for a cupcake every once in a while.” She continues, saying she makes sure to eat lots of kale, broccoli, blueberries, strawberries and spinach. “We do enough stories on superfoods on GMA. I know what I should be eating, and I really try to stick with that.”

2. She Loves To Swim

For physical activity, she actually used to be a champion diver and still enjoys jumping in the pool for a workout. “I enjoy swimming laps—it’s a great workout and also allows me to get into a meditative state so it’s very relaxing,” Lara says. ”I love the quiet and the rhythm of swimming. I do it quite a bit in the summer, but not very much in the winter.”

3. She Doesn’t Take Her Health For Granted

During an interview with Parade, Lara was asked what the biggest health lesson she’s learned so far is, and her answer was “don’t take it for granted.” She continued saying, “just because I was always in great shape, doesn’t mean I can rest on my laurels. Life is precious and our bodies need to be cared for every day.”

4. Yoga Is Her Go To Year Round

“I turn to yoga, preferably in a warm room, during the cold months,” explains Lara. ”I do yoga year round but find myself craving it more in the fall and winter.” In addition to yoga, she loves paddle boarding, another good activity for balance. “It’s an incredible workout for the arms and core, and a great way to get out on the water.

5. She Loves Playing Tennis

“Last but certainly not least, I play tennis year round,” Lara said. “I am on a USTA team and just got bumped up to a 4.0 rating so I am really excited. As a former athlete, Lara says she loves the competition. “I play both singles and doubles and would play every day if I could! I wish I had known about tennis as a kid. Unlike platform diving, it’s a sport I can play for the rest of my life.”

Former Russian number 1 tennis player Maria Sharapova actually took time away from her busy training schedule this summer to enjoy a much-needed vacation with her family. Sharapova, 36, shared some behind-the-scenes glimpses of her trip to Greece, including a snap of herself floating in beautiful clear waters in a yellow one-piece swimsuit. “A holiday during the summer?? Still feels new to me 😅,” she captioned the post. “Heaven,” commented pal Jessica Alba. How does Sharapova do it? Here are 5 ways the tennis champion remains a force to be reckoned with.


1. Six Hours of Training a Day

Melbourne,-,January,19:,Maria,Sharapova,Of,Russia,In,HerShutterstock

Sharapova’s typical workout consists of stretching, jogging on the beach, two hours of tennis practice, Pilates core exercises, and indoor/outdoor interval bike sessions. "I train five or six times a week for six hours a day with my trainer, Yutaka Nakamura, or one of my coaches,” she says. “Playing professional tennis requires major dedication. If you take more than three days off, you can start to lose lean muscle. The athlete winds down with “Weekly sports massages and baths, both ice and hot, help relieve my tired muscles. I add Epsom salts and lavender essential oil."

2. Healthy Breakfast

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,April,15,,2023:,Maria,Sharapova,At,TheShutterstock

Sharapova never skips breakfast on training days. “When I’m training, the most important ‘on switch’ is a healthy breakfast,” she says. “I make a green smoothie with romaine lettuce, avocado, spinach, mint, and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. I also buy chestnut bread from the local farmers market and eat it with blanched almond butter. Candy [is my vice], no question about it. I’ve had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember, and it’s the reason I decided to start my own candy company, Sugarpova, seven years ago.”

3. Carbs and Protein

Like many athletes, Sharapova swears by good carbs for energy. “Carbs are important for my sport, but it’s about finding the right balance between them and protein,” she says. “In the morning, I have fruit, then rye toast with goat cheese and a piece of ham. When I’m playing tournaments, I try to minimize things that can create inflammation, like lactose, and goat cheese is easier for me to process than butter. For lunch, it’s a protein like chicken and then soup, because I’m Russian and we love soups. For dinner, I’ll have fish, like salmon or sea bass, and rice or potatoes.”

4. Journaling and Me-Time

Sharapova makes time for herself to drink coffee and journal before her family are up. “There’s something very strong about thinking of something and making it official on a piece of paper,” she says. “I’ve always believed in the power of that… Be kind to yourself. Knowing that you’re taking care of someone else, I think you always do a better job when you are taken care of. The more you feel rejuvenated and replenished and your body and mind are in the right place, the more that projects onto the people around you.”

5. No Makeup

Sharapova’s glowing looks on the court are all natural. "I wear zero makeup on the court,” she says. “I can't risk it running into my eyes. I tie a ponytail, pin the flyaways, and use L'Oréal Elnett hair spray. If I have time, I get a neutral manicure. When I'm not playing tennis, I like a fresh-faced glow. At night I'll wear a fun pink lip, Avon brow pencil, and Kanebo's Sensai concealer and mascara. I wash my hair daily, since I'm training and sweating."

María Celeste Arrarás is one of the most well-known TV personalities and hosts out there. She recently enjoyed a trip to Honduras, and made sure to spend time by the water. Arrarás shared a new set of photos from the trip on Instagram. In them, she is seen standing on a balcony overlooking the beach. She wore a black swimsuit and cover-up, a white hat, and sunglasses. Arrarás captioned the post, “Green + Sea = Priceless.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways María Celeste Arrarás 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 Spends Time Outside

Arrarás spends a lot of time outside. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself spending time in the great outdoors. Arrarás posted this photo of herself for Earth Day. She captioned it, “What nourishes me the most in this world is Nature. That's why today I celebrate our planet Earth and renewed my commitment to care for it and to care for all the animal species that inhabit it.”

2. She Plays Tennis

One thing Arrarás likes to do to stay in shape is play tennis. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself on the court. She shared this photo of herself and a teammate after a game. Arrarás captioned the post, “Celebrating winning the first game we played together in the USTA league for the @teamformantennis team!” Arrarás also posted this tennis photo, captioning it, “One of the best ways to start the day! Have a nice time.”

3. She Cooks

Arrarás makes sure to eat healthy. One way she does so is by cooking a lot of her own meals. Cooking your own meals means that you both know and can control what ingredients are in your food. You can also make your food healthier. Arrarás shared this video on Instagram, which includes footage of herself making a seafood and vegetable dish for New Year’s Eve.

4. She Plays With Her Dog

Arrarás is a dog lover. She owns a Golden Retriever named Archie, whom she prominently features on her Instagram. Arrarás likes to do different activities with Archie. She shared this photo of herself and Archie on a walk together. Arrarás captioned the post, “More than ready for banquets! Burning calories with @archiearraras in preparation for the Christmas Food Olympics.”

5. She Gets Some Sun

"Getting too much sun is dangerous for your skin. However, contrary to what sunscreen companies and vampires have led you to believe, getting some sun every day is actually quite good for you. The sun loads your body with beneficial vitamins and hormones. You can’t see it happening, but you can feel it. It’s there when you walk outside on a sunny day and you get that warm hug feeling right before your nice shirt is stained with pit sweat. Sunlight releases serotonin (the happiness hormone) in your brain, boosts your bone health, and actually might help treat several skin conditions," says SCL Health.

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most successful models of all time. She’s still showing off her body on social media at age 57. In a recent Instagram post, Porizkova posed in a leopard print bikini. In the caption, she talked about what she has learned growing up in the spotlight. Read on to see 5 ways Paulina Porizkova 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 Calls Out Double Standards

Porizkova is known for being very outspoken on Instagram. She talked about double standards in society in this post. She wrote, “Athletes versus models. Both start their careers very young. Both make large amounts of money based on their physicality - in direct proportion to the demand - for their service. Both need to keep themselves in prime physical shape. Both jobs are physically and sometimes emotionally painful. Both careers end when most others just come into their best. Both are a celebration (or objectification) of the human body. Both demand sacrifices in personal lives. Both are used for your entertainment and to sell you products. One highlights mostly men, the other mostly women. And as they start aging out of their careers, if they refuse to give up quite yet - one gets applauded and is seen as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic.”

2. She Goes To The Beach

Porizkova loves to spend time outside. One place she loves to go is the beach. She posted this photo of herself in Costa Rica on Instagram. She captioned it, “It’s been a wonderful week in Costa Rica, filled with sun, jungle, ocean, pool, long dinners, lots of books read, and of course, the antics of George the monkey.”

3. She Calls Out Haters

Porizkova is not afraid to call out social media haters. She did so in this Instagram post.“A woman of 57 is ‘too old’ to pose in a bikini - no matter what she looks like. Because ‘Old’ is ‘Ugly.’ I get comments like these every time I post a photo of my body. This is the ageist shaming that sets my teeth on edge. Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who believe prettiness equals beauty do not understand beauty.”

4. She Embraces Age

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova says that she is embracing her age. “To perceive beauty you have to be able to SEE. This is why I believe we get more beautiful with age. We have earned our beauty, we understand what it is, and we can see it so much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Only shortsighted and ignorant.”

5. She Intermittent Fasts

Porizkova says that she likes to intermittently fast as a way to stay in shape. She explained her process on Instagram. “You don’t eat for 16 hours and then you eat for eight,” Porizkova said. “I generally take it as I eat whatever I want for eight hours because I like food, but I also kind of tend to like more healthy food.”

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.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (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.”

She Lifts Weights

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

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
