1. She Thinks Positive

Mathews shared some of her health tips to Red Online. She says that she is working on reducing negative thoughts. “For every good intention, there seems to be a voice in our heads that wants to cause trouble. For me, I kept thinking that there was really no point in even trying to change the way I ate so why even bother? That kind of thinking is negative and counter-productive. Try and drown out those thoughts with more positive thoughts. You CAN do this.”

2. She Makes Small Changes

Mathews tells Red Online that she made small changes to her lifestyle over the years. “The most important thing though is not really how you look, but how you feel,” she explains. “I found that the little changes I made over time made me feel good about myself and eventually showed on my body. So be patient and wait for results before just writing yourself off.”

3. She Makes Smoothies

Mathews tells Red Online that she likes to make smoothies each morning. “In the mornings, I was leaving myself short of time and so I was going out on an empty stomach and then just grabbing anything for lunch as my blood sugar dipped. Giving myself an extra 10 minutes in the morning left me with just enough time to make something substantial. I started making smoothies using frozen spinach, frozen raspberries, apricot kernels, flaxseeds, walnuts and water. Drinking a nice thick drink like that keeps you going until lunchtime and so you don’t feel the urge to pick at unhealthy food.”

Most people take the weekends off from their health routine and re-start on Monday. However, Mathews isn’t one of them. “It's a familiar story: after a weekend of excess filled with roast dinners, full English breakfasts and Chinese takeaways, we feel guilty and want to start eating healthy,” she explains to Red Online. “I would advise against starting on a Monday. Most of us will be heading to work on Monday morning with the Monday blues and dealing with the stresses that come with a workday. I would suggest starting half-way through the week by introducing a small change and following through over the weekend.”

5. She Eats Healthy

Mathews talked about her diet to Express. She says that she makes sure to eat healthy food. "It’s all about moderation and what makes you feel good,” she says. “If you can invest in a good-quality olive oil or coconut oil, and substitute processed foods for oily fish, walnuts and seeds such as flax seeds rich in omega-3 – you will feel the benefits."

Pring has become a body-positive icon throughout her career. She opened up about wanting to change the way curvy models and bodies are viewed with Cosmopolitan. “I prefer ‘curvy’ honestly,” she says. “Plus-size feels outdated and no one thinks of it in a positive way. It’s always got this sort of stigma attached to it. I’d like to do away with that.”

2. She Found Confidence

In an essay with Redbook, Pring opened up about how she found confidence in her teens. “It wasn't until I found basketball that I began to feel confident and comfortable in my body. I felt proud to be the tallest girl on the court. My arms were long and helped me dominate on defense. My legs were strong and allowed me to jump higher and run faster. My size and strength were major assets as I defended the ball from opponents. Through playing this sport, I realized how powerful and strong I was, how my body allowed me to be great at something.”

3. She Does Workouts She Enjoys

I really started letting my body just naturally become what it wanted to become in a way that I really, really enjoyed."

4. She Works Out When She Can

Pring has a busy schedule, however, she makes sure to still workout on a regular basis. She shared her process in her Redbook essay. “As my modeling career was taking off, I quickly realized I couldn't continue to make basketball my priority. Now I make sure to stay strong by working out often and shooting hoops whenever I get the chance.”

5. She Has Support

Pring opened up about her mental health and wellbeing with POPSugar. She says that having supportive people is very helpful. "I think that all added to a healthier mental health. It really just helped me focus on what was important to me, like the friendships that I have, the people that I want in my life, the friendships that I want to continue to cultivate.”

1. She’s Into Fitness Because It’s a Family Thing

When asked about body building, Sommer said: “I started when I was around 16. I grew up with it. My dad's a bodybuilder. My mom is a competitor. So actually my first show I ever did was with my mom. So yeah, started when I was 16.” She likes sharing tips online because “I love just being on there because I wanna like show girls that you can post what you want and do what you want and just embrace being you and being beautiful. Because we're all beautiful and unique in our way,” she told CTV.

2. Sometimes She Has Down Days

“I don't work out every single day. Like obviously I'm not a crazy person, but yeah. Sometimes I have days where I'm even like a bad mood and I'm down on myself. Like with things like that, people don't understand. It's like, everyone's human. I have days where I wake up and I feel disgusting and fat. And I'm like, Ew at myself, you know, I look at me, I'm like, disgusting. So we're–as girls, we just like have this, and every girl's the same. Like, it doesn't matter. [Even] the most beautiful girl in the world. Trust me. They wake up and they hate themselves some days too. It's just like life as a girl….So I have days where I'm very unmotivated and I think my body sucks … But I fight through it,” she told the Off the Pill podcast.

3. She Stays Motivated This Way

“How I find my motivation is, I don't look for motivation." She says it's not "Like, oh, I wanna get in shape for this pool party. Oh, I wanna get in shape, cuz I'm going on vacation. Because when that is over, you're gonna forget about working out and you don't care about working out anymore. You have to do it for a real reason that's not going to go away,” she told Off the Pill.

4. She Eats in Moderation

“I eat in moderation,” she said. “That's my thing. There's balance. Like I'm not just gonna eat cheeseburgers every day. Come Friday I'm gonna have a cheeseburger and then I'm gonna have salad. It's called balance.” As for working out: “I try to work out every day. I mean, I used to be really, really consistent, but like I'm so busy now that it's like, sometimes I get off track, but yeah. I mean, I eat what I want, but the I'm also blessed with a good metabolism because I can really eat what I want and I burn it off really quick,” she told Off the Pill.

The “best business advice is to do what you're passionate about. Because I feel like business, too, can just be doing what you love. And I feel like the most success comes from doing what you love and doing business and what you love. So it's like, I love clothes and I love fitness and I just do all my business endeavors and the stuff that I'm passionate about,” she told CTV.

Jamie Otis, the influencer, author, podcaster, and reality star, is looking forward to the warmer weather. Otis celebrated Memorial Day Weekend, and posted a stunning new reel on Instagram. In it, Otis walked in a desert canyon. She wore a black bathing suit, showing off her body. She captioned the reel, “This weekend marks the beginning of summer.☀️ We all have body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, and rolls…Wear the suit and go enjoy yourself.👙😎🏝.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jamie Otis 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 Embraces Her Body

Otis is proud of her body, and she wants people to know it. She talks about self-love and body positivity on a lot of her Instagram posts, including her most recent Memorial Day reel. “We all have body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, and rolls,” Otis wrote. “Wear the suit and go enjoy yourself.”

2. She No Longer Takes “Before & After” Photos

One thing Otis is doing to help herself stay confident is not taking “before and after” photos for social media, especially after having her two kids. She revealed her explanations for doing this in this reel. “I'm never taking a degrading "before" pic again. It's just not for me anymore. After having my first rainbow baby, my goal was to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes asap. It was never about health. It's taken me decades to learn that I'm more than my pant size & the number on the scale doesn't define me. Halle-freakin-lujah.

3. She Went On A Cleanse

Otis revealed in this reel that she was about to make a lot of changes to her diet and lifestyle. “Today I am cutting out gluten, dairy, alcohol, and extra sugars bc my skin has been so red and dry,” she explained. “It's like my body has been screaming at me to take better care of it. I've got that eczema on my eyelids, dandruff and itchy scalp, and just ya know, no energy & always feeling physically & mentally drained.”

4. She Worked Out While She Was Pregnant

Otis made sure to get workouts in while she was pregnant. On her website, she explained her reason for doing so. “I am committed to staying strong and healthy for me and my rainbow baby. I know that the first half of my pregnancy was a struggle, but I’m getting back on track (and writing this blog/putting it out into the world is my way of holding myself accountable)!”

5. She Opened Up About Her Struggles

In 2019, a controversial “Heartbeat Bill” was passed in some states, which would limit access to abortions, with Alabama banning them completely. When this happened, Otis wrote a guest piece for People about her own abortion, wanting to let others know they weren’t alone, and to reduce the stigma. “I know I’m going to get backlash for opening up about my past. Like I said, my abortions still torment me and I hate that I had to have them. However, am I thankful? Of course. I wouldn’t be able to be a good mother to my daughter right now or have been able to be a good parent to my siblings back then. The cycle continues because there’s not enough education about sex and birth control, and not enough support. There’s not enough constructive discussion about abortion. It sucks. It really sucks. But the truth of the matter is it is a necessary option.”

Georgia Steel, star of Love Island, who has also appeared on Celebs on the Ranch, Celebs Go Dating and Ex on the Beach: Peak of Love, is used to being in front of the camera.

Read on to see 6 ways Georgia Steel 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 Had Her Passions But Didn’t Expect the Show to Help Her Realize Them

About her time on Love Island: “I can't watch myself. I basically squirm,” she said to the Independent. “I don't think you can prepare yourself for it. I honestly had no idea what was gonna happen. I completely went in there with the very naive approach….I had like a thousand followers on Instagram, but I wasn't an Instagram girl. I was just a normal girl working in the bar. I had no idea what was gonna happen. I didn't know whether I was gonna be in there for a week. I didn't know whether I was gonna be in there for that almost the whole time, like I was. But I feel like that was the essence of me cause that it was genuine. And I wasn't, I wasn't thinking of any other narrative while being in there, any like thoughts rather than just enjoying it and having fun. And I feel like that's really, really important for the contestants. And I feel like it's sad if they go in there with a different agenda. Cause obviously the show now can do so much for you, and be such a great stepping stone. Like, I've always had fashion, my makeup and my modeling; I've always absolutely loved it. So for me it was great becaus...I was talking to something I already wanted to be involved in. But I never thought going in there, but that that's what would happen. I literally just thought, oh, I like a good summer. That is literally what I thought.”

2. She Was Able to Process Her Success During the Pandemic Downtime

“When COVID happened, obviously people were having to stay in their homes." She was able to work from there and felt we all were "able to process the past two years of our lives and as humans, I don't think we do stop and just chill for a sec. So I feel like it was a good thing for everyone. Cause I hadn't, the past two years and a half, and now things are going back to normal, events are happening again. It's much nicer to kind of enjoy the experience and be present in the moment rather than thinking, what's happening tomorrow? What's happening tomorrow? Because I feel like I'm a lot more steady now. I'm a lot more organized,” she told the Independent.

3. She’s Done Some Tough Workouts

Steel has done PRO.PT with celebrity trainer Yusef Bouattoura. The workouts are HIIT. “While not exactly new, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is emerging as an effective and more time-efficient alternative to traditional endurance-based exercise programs. HIIT programs include short bursts of high-intensity activity performed at maximal effort (90 percent VO2 max), separated by short periods of low-intensity work that allow partial recovery. A typical HIIT session might include a three-minute warmup, four to six repetitions of a 30-second sprint followed by a 60-second active recovery, and a three-minute cool-down,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Plays Tennis

Steel posted a photo of herself playing tennis with the caption: “Every season.” To avoid injuries, "That means taking lessons with a licensed professional about how to, for example, serve, hit certain shots in a particular way with correct technique," Dr. Sanj Kakar, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic hand and wrist surgeon, tells the Mayo Clinic. "I think that's first and foremost. [Also,] having the correct equipment."

5. She Builds in Chill Time

“I get up at 11 if I can, honestly,” she told On Demand Entertainment. “I am not a morning person at all, but I'm funny. Like I'll have days where I just wanna chill, which I've literally just got back into now because I never used to be able to have chill days. And at the moment now, I think it's really important to schedule chill days in, just for yourself, mentally, physically everything. I just think you need some time to just focus on yourself. Otherwise it can get a bit too much, but I do love working when I get into it: Boom, boom, boom, boom.”

6. She Says She Can Be Calm, Despite What You May Think

“People wouldn't believe me, but I can be very calm. I'm very chilled. I'm very, just on a normal level, like when I'm chilling at home,” she told On Demand Entertainment. “But I'm very, very reactive and I'm very impulsive and I'm very spontaneous. So when I'm put in situations or with people I can react and be spontaneous and be impulsive, I don't think everyone has that. Sometimes it's a good thing. Sometimes it's a bad thing.” As for being a reality TV star, this personality trail works for her: “I think it's good because it gives drama, entertainment value, as we say.”
