Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Renaud 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 Goes To The Beach

Renaud loves to spend time in the water. She posts a lot of photos and videos on Instagram of herself at the beach. Renaud shared this video of herself playing in the ocean. She captioned it, “I won’t get any younger than today.” According to MedIndia, going to the beach has a lot of benefits. “Water is considered one of nature's best remedies for overcoming the stresses of everyday life. Spending time on the seaside and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine can produce serotonin, which is an important hormone associated with the feeling of happiness and relaxation. Similarly, listening to the waves crash against the shore calms brain activity, and the color blue offers a sense of relaxation, serenity, and peace, thereby releasing hormones such as dopamine and serotonin to reduce your stress levels. So, make sure to wash away your stress levels at the seaside.”

2. She Horseback Rides

Renaud likes to ride horses. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself riding. In the caption, she opened up about the effect riding has had on her. “They don't know the love and gratitude I have for horses. Helping me overcome my panic to them, not only did it teach me what an amazing animal it is, it also SUPER THERAPY and helps me get out of unnecessary situations in my life.. like it empowered my horse and made me act more boldly in other areas of my life.”

3. She Dances

Renaud likes to dance as a way to stay in shape. She shares a lot of videos on Instagram of herself dancing. Renaud and her partner like to dance together. She shared this video of the couple dancing at home. Renaud captioned it, “Last try. We're taking dancing courses amos. @matlechat I love you forever say yes to everything.”

4. She Doesn’t Rest On Her Laurels

In this Instagram post, Renaud talks about how she approaches life. She says that she always strives to do better. “When you reach your goals, it's just as important to know how to come down from there with humility and gratitude, but above all, value the road back,” she captioned the post. “I know a lot of people who stayed on a top (especially in this middle) who became successful and didn't get out of there.. Time passes, and they tell you what they did 20 years ago and they can't realize that by staying there they missed the opportunity to climb another peaks, and that peak they stayed on now is lonely and full of frustrations.”

5. She Doesn’t Quit

In the same post, Renaud talks about how she doesn’t quit. She says that she doesn’t give up, no matter how hard it gets. “The top is half the way... And the descent tends to be very difficult, but if we take it into account from the beginning we make it easier and we can even enjoy it.”

1. She Is Real About Her Body

Catherine doesn’t believe in pretending that her body is perfect. “I woke up today and thought I want to be a bit more real on here.. so I took these photos,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “I train almost everyday and am careful of what I eat, I’m aware this isn’t very bad or “poor me” etc but I’m just showing i have loose skin after 2 kids that is wrinkly and crepey and yes sometimes it bothers me because it isn’t the Instagram version of “perfection” I am always seeing. I am my biggest critic and can be super harsh on myself always thinking of trying to be perfect, I’ve struggled with a weight complex my whole life but As I’m getting older I’m becoming more aware that if I as a fully grown adult woman can be so impacted by the Instagram version of perfection how will our young daughters be ? What pressure will they feel? I think it’s important to not let the idea of perfection be confused with being the best version of yourself. I’ve personally struggled with this a lot but am learning to accept myself more. I grew two beautiful children inside that stomach and yes it’s crepey and wrinkled when I squash it together 😂 but so what? It’s real life ✌️ Just thinking let’s try embrace our flaws more and accept ourselves fully.”

2. She Does Pilates

Catherine’s favorite workout is pilates. “Keep moving, keep stretching 🙆‍♀️ Back in my happy place,” she captioned an Instagram post of herself on her reformer. In another post she thanks her pilates instructor, Holly Bramley for helping her “stay toned, flexible and strong,” she writes. “Your classes are so challenging I love it!”

3. She Does Yoga

Catherine also does yoga. 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.”

4. She Soaks in Hot Water

In her latest post, Catherine reveals that she “is on a real health kick at the moment trying new things and just posting this to be accountable.” In the photo she sits in a freezing cold bathtub for four minutes. “It feels good,” she gushes after getting out. “Such a weird sensation that comes all over your entire body."

Madison LeCroy is living her best life this summer in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Southern Charm beauty goes boating in her bathing suit in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. “Keepin' it reel,” she captioned the Instagram post shared with her followers. How does the reality star stay healthy and fit? She has a few unconventional methods. Read about them below.

1. She Uses an “Infrared Sauna” Blanket

At home, Madison uses an infrared sauna. She is also a fan of using a sauna blanket when she is on the road. “You guys know that I have the one out in the garage, but this one you can travel with,” she said in an Instagram Story. According to the star, the blanket is “mood-lifting” and activates “glowing skin.” There is also a towel that goes with the sauna that “goes on underneath” for a “dry brushing” and provides a “full-body detox.”

2. She Gets Plastic Surgery

Madison is open about going under the knife. "After giving birth to an 10-pound baby eight years ago, I no longer felt confident in my own skin," she revealed in an Instagram photo. "I’ve always been fitness obsessed and aware of what I was eating but sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, there are areas that don’t quite bounce back to where they were originally." She went to doctor, Patrick O'Neill, who "gave me my confidence back and transformed the parts of my body that I was most self-conscious about. Women should never be shamed for doing anything that makes themselves more confident or love themselves more. If it makes you feel better about yourself, do it!" she said.

3. She Does Cold Plunges

Madison is one of the many stars who is obsessed with cold plunging. “Have you guys ever done cold plunge!? If not go see my friends at @sweathouzmtpleasant @sweathouzwestashley but if you aren’t local find one near you @sweathouz,” she captioned a recent post.

4. She Does Healthy Cleanses

Madison does healthy cleanses. One 30-day eating and drinking plan she was on eliminated alcohol as well as "artificial" carbs and sugar. "I just started to feel really bad," she said about why she was inspired. "I just said, 'This has got to stop, so I'm gonna make these foods and I'm gonna eat this kale salad and eat grilled chicken and broccoli four days a week, or whatever it was, and no alcohol for 14 days.' That kind of thing was very tough," she added to Bravo.

5. She Is “Good for a Week and Bad for a Week” with Diet and Exericse

Madison has a yo-to approach to diet and exercise. “It’s definitely been a struggle. I go back and forth. I’m good for a week and bad for a week,” she said about her eating habits. “I try to work out at least four days a week, sometimes it’s three days. It’s all generally mental health for me, I crave it. I definitely feel that it makes me a little bit less on edge… I love working out with other people, all ages, all sizes, because when the girl beside me is giving me a run for my money, you know I’m running fast. I’m like, ‘OK, girl. Let’s go.’”

WWE star Maryse Mizanin is sharing stunning pictures from her recent trip to Cabo. The 39-year-old posted photos taken by her husband Michael Gregory Mizanin AKA “The Miz”, where she is lounging in the pool in a white bikini, sipping champagne in the sunshine. “Vacations in Cabo!” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mizanin 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 Loves HIIT

Mizanin loves doing HIIT workouts, and encourages all women to try the method. "My favorite thing to do is HITT workouts, or high interval intensity workouts," she says. "I like to do that because I'm not really a cardio person. HITT is basically working your entire body, and it's burning [calories] for about eight to 12 hours after you work out. A HITT workout is basically three to four complexes and a complex is about three exercises that you can do about three to four times with no rest. Your heart rate is always up and you're lifting weights… Women are sometimes afraid they'll get bulky and big, but that's not true. You'll get curves and just be lean, very lean. That's the trick. Doing cardio is not really going to help in that way."

2. Embracing Her Post-Pregnancy Body

Mizanin has two daughters, Madison and Monroe, and refused to obsess about “bouncing back” on a timeline. “I’ve been pregnant twice in two years; when Monroe was 8 months [old], I got pregnant,” she says. “I was just getting back to feeling like myself physically and looking like the way I used to. And then I got pregnant right away. It just takes time to get back to yourself. It takes nine months to make a baby, it takes nine months to [bounce back]. That’s true — sometimes longer. Everything inside of you needs to go back to normal and it doesn’t just happen overnight. You created a human being, you know? It takes time to get back there.”

3. She Takes Ice Baths

Mizanin is a big fan of ice baths, which studies show can be especially effective after HIIT exercises. “It showed that cold water immersion was an effective recovery tool after high intensity exercise, specifically HIIT exercises,” says Dr. Dominic King, a sports medicine physician in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. “Ice baths can reduce pain and inflammation. “It can numb pain receptors and bring down inflammation, so you can almost think of it as like a drug-free anesthetic.”

4. She Plays Golf

Mizanin enjoys the occasional game of golf. “Golf can provide health-enhancing physical activity,” says Andrew Murray, co-director of Edinburgh University’s Sport and Exercise Medicine Research Group. “It can also be an effective treatment for anxiety, depression and dementia.”

“We know from several studies that even mild exercise like walking 30 minutes three times a week can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety,” says Sheenie Ambardar, MD. “In addition, being outside while playing golf exposes people to natural light, which helps maintain a regular circadian rhythm and aids in the production of serotonin, which in turn reduces symptoms of depression.”

5. She Is Mindful of Her Diet

"I love chocolate cake," she says. "I'm French. I also love cheese and bread, so I could just live on that. But I can't do that to myself, so I have to moderate. Chocolate cake twice a week, definitely, then high protein, low carbs and low fats… Eating is 80 percent of everything. Working out for an hour is really easy, but the rest of the day is 23 hours and that's the hardest part."
