Mikee Quintos, the Filipino actress and singer, is not afraid to post swimsuit photos on Instagram. She just did a new shoot of herself in front of a technicolor background. She wore a white bikini and sweatshirt, showing off her abs. "Prettttty," said one commenter. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mikee Quintos 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 Works Out For Herself

Quintos revealed some of her health and wellness secrets in an interview with GMA. She says that her main wellness philosophy is to be healthy for herself. She says that it helps her stay on track and stay well. “Trying to be healthy, trying to work out, and trying to lose weight [should] always be for yourself and not for anyone else." "And of course, regular physical exams and adult health screening tests are an important part of preventive adult health care. Know which screening tests you need and how often to have them done. Early detection can be the key to successful treatment," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Stays Positive

Quintos tells GMA that she stays positive, especially when it comes to wellness. “If you look for inspiration in the negative, it’s always going to be short-term. You have to want it enough. Everything else will follow.” "Indeed, some studies show that personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Spends Time In The Water

Quintos loves to go to the beach and spend time in the water. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a beach or pool day. Quintos posted this photo of herself by the waves, with the caption, “Take it easy.” She also posted this set of photos of herself posing on the shore, captioning them, “Feelin’ good, like I should.”

4. She Hikes

Another outdoor activity Quinos likes to do is go hiking. She has a lot of photos of herself in the great outdoors on Instagram. Quintos posted this set of photos of herself at the top of a mountain. She captioned the post, “Idk, it felt right.”

5. She Rides ATVs

Quintos likes to ride ATVs with her friends. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself doing so. In them, she is riding in a canyon by a river. She captioned the post, “Halika nga!!!! I luuuuh-miss you, @paulandre.salas.”

"I have been living this way for years,” she wrote. “I don’t count calories, I count chemicals. It’s always been my goal to eat as clean as possible as much as possible. Making meals/snacks/drinks with ingredients I know and understand.”

2. She Cuts Out A Lot Of Ingredients

Kostek’s approach to dieting means that she has to avoid certain foods. She revealed on her Instagram stories that she doesn’t eat meat, gluten, and other things. “I am vegetarian," she wrote. "Lately working to be mostly dairy free to see how this will greatly change my body/mind. I only buy gluten free options for my home. When I’m out I order the gluten free option there. If it’s not available and I’m truly craving the gluten… I’ll eat it and enjoy it”

Kostek and her boyfriend, NFL star, Rob Gronkowski, are extremely busy with their careers. However, they make time to unwind together.

Maria Menounos has sprung into spring. And she’s not alone. Madison LeCroy, Elsa Pataky, Teresa Giudice and more posed in swimsuits, enjoying some vitamin D. How do they stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Maria Menounos and the other celebs stay 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. Maria Menounos

After having a benign brain tumor removed, Maria knows what’s up about health. “Pro-tip: try to schedule all of your appointments in the same month,” she wrote on an Instagram post of herself at her doctor’s office. “Get your dentist, gynecologist, skin check and any doctor’s appointments all done at once – this way you can always remember. October for example is when I handle the health biz. I try to set back-to-back appointments and knock out as many as I can at once. Try your best to have a rhythm so you never forget! It’s helped me! Good luck.”

2. Madison LeCroy

Madison-lecroy-1Madison LeCroy/Instagram

The Southern Charm star once did a 30 day cleanse “Day one. No alcohol, no carbs, no sugar. 29 days to go,” she captioned a photo of herself in the gym. Good call. Says the Mayo Clinic: “Eating too many foods with added sugars sets the stage for potential health problems, such as:

  • Poor nutrition. If you choose sugar-laden foods instead of more nutritious foods, you miss out on important nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
  • Weight gain. There's no single cause for being overweight or obese. But added sugar might contribute to the problem. It's easy to get extra calories when eating foods that are sugar sweetened.”

3. Elsa Pataky

Elsa meditates. "Once the kids are asleep, I try to meditate for 10 to 15 minutes, and I make sure I read and unwind before going to bed. At home we always try to put our phones aside just after dinner and we don't check them before bedtime, so we properly disconnect from the world for few hours,” said Pataky to Harper’s Bazaar.

4. Teresa Giudice

Teresa knows how to eat right. "Starting my day with veggie packed egg white omelette and fresh fruit!" she once wrote. "Always look for a veggie heavy meal on the menu when dining out. You'll feel satisfied longer & full quicker!"

5. Heather Graham

Graham avoids sugar. "I do eat sugar sometimes, but as a broad rule, I try to just eat no sugar basically, and I have to say I feel a lot better," she said. "And I will sometimes eat things with white flour, but I try to avoid white flour." Always go for whole grains instead. “If you're not sure something has whole grains, check the product label or the Nutrition Facts panel. Look for the word ‘whole’ on the package, and make sure whole grains appear among the first items in the ingredient list,” says the Mayo Clinic.

6. Camila Cabello

Camila,Cabello,At,The,Los,Angeles,Premiere,Of,'trolls,BandShutterstock

Cabello supports mental health for all. “I’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of years, and especially this past year home during the pandemic, in constant reflection, learning and exploring the ways I have contributed to systems and beliefs that actively oppress others,” Cabello tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve realized there’s so much more I can and must do to support others who are doing the work to heal our communities…. Grassroots organizers are faced with the exhaustion, emotional burden and trauma that comes with fighting against inequitable systems. Our hope is to offer access to the necessary support they may need as they continue their critical work advocating for social justice.”

7. Fernanda Flores

Want to burn calories and build muscles? Do a stair workout, like Flores, the 90 Day Fiancé star. “After a long vacation full of amazing Mexican food and lots of drinks it’s time to get back to my routine and detox 🌱lots of cardio needed and there are mods options than you think. Take this Stair Climber workout for example, I did a variety of movements on just one machine only 30 minutes. I was able to pass the time easily. It’s great for cardio,” she once wrote. “You will feel the burn in your quads when you squat and climb.”

1. Nicole Scherzinger

The Pussycat Dolls frontwoman and Masked Singer judge says that she makes sure to keep healthy foods in her fridge at all times. She tells Goodto.com that she has “Cheese, turkey, cherry tomatoes, almond milk, a little bit of normal milk for my tea, coconut water, eggs – and all the basics. And a Müller Püd Corner of course!” Scherzinger says that she uses these ingredients to make healthy meals. She says that her go-tos are, “My favourite breakfast is six-minute eggs with smoked salmon and toast. Or just scrambled eggs with a turkey sausage or turkey bacon. For lunch I’ll have sushi, a sandwich or a salad. And for dinner I love seafood pasta, fish and brown rice and veggies or chicken, brown rice and veggies.”

2. Brielle Biermann

The reality star revealed that she uses supplements to help her get her bikini-body. She wrote on Instagram, “Everyone’s asking how i lost weight.. secrets out! so thankful my daily Modere trim got me bikini ready for the summer!”

3. Jordana Brewster

The Fast and The Furious and Lethal Weapon star tells Byrdie that she and her trainer work on posture and alignment. She says, “I also work with someone named Lauren Roxburgh—she does foam rolling, and it’s really good as far as getting your fascia in shape, and it does a lot with your alignment and your posture, and that’s been really helpful too. I find that I’m more limber after a session with her.”

4. Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox says that her fitness regime is more about having fun and being comfortable, rather than losing weight. "I'm not overachieving in fitness at the moment," Cox tells InStyle. "I'm doing it, it's not as high-level, but I like where I'm at with it now. It's fun, it's medicinal, and I'm not being hard on myself. I think studying classical ballet creates this thing where you just beat yourself up, and I'm not doing that right now."

5. Larsa Pippen

Larsa Pippen revealed her workout routine on Instagram, and says that she likes to do a lot of full-body HIIT movements. In the video, Pippen is using weights and is seen doing deadlifts, front squats, low rows, and static combos. Pippen previously told HollywoodLife that she does two sessions of “40 squats a set.” She says, “If you incorporate weights into that then you wouldn’t have to do so many. You would just do 12-15 reps.”

6. Rebel Wilson

Rebel Wilson says that she is all about self-care and self-love. One of the ways she does so is giving herself breaks, and lightening her schedule. “I’m trying to have much more of a balance,” she says to Bustle. “I used to be go-go-go 24/7, and so I’ve come to that realization that you can’t just do movies and stuff back to back all the time and work 20 hours a day. It’s not a healthy thing.”

7. Olivia Culpo

The former Miss Universe and fashion icon Olivia Culpo is known for her incredible figure, and she works hard to keep herself in shape. "I've noticed it's very important to be consistent with workouts," she says to Shape magazine. "I think it's really easy for people to go through phases where they're really intense with their workouts and then they kind of fall out of it." Culpo says that she tries to stay active everyday, no matter how busy she gets. "I try to stay active as much as I can by doing low-impact, high-intensity workouts so that I'm consistent and I don't wake up one day and realize it's been two weeks and I haven't worked out."

Puerto Rican star Gabriela Berlingeri is enjoying some much-needed beach time. The jewelry designer and girlfriend of superstar Bad Bunny shared pictures of herself posing in crystal-clear waters in a green bikini and white sun hat. “More pics from the cam,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Berlingeri 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. Lots of Swimming

One glance at Berlingeri’s social media shows how much she loves swimming. “Swimming is one of the few activities that work your whole body,” says the British Heart Foundation. “Breaststroke, backstroke, front crawl, butterfly and even doggy paddle get your legs and arms moving. This in turn works your back and core muscles.”

2. Outdoorsy Type

Berlingeri is no couch potato—she enjoys being outside as much as possible. “I take many of my individual clients and classes outdoors,” says certified fitness instructor ShaNay Norvell. “They often tell me it doesn’t feel like as much of a workout as running on the treadmill, even though they are still getting a great calorie burn.”

3. Snacking on Mango

Berlingeri loves fresh sliced mango for an on-the-go snack, which is a great source of vitamin C. "Vitamin C is good for immunity," says Maya Vadiveloo, assistant professor in the department of nutrition and food sciences at the University of Rhode Island. "It's an antioxidant so it can help with oxidative stress in the body. The primary benefit, in addition to being a really good source of vitamin C, is that (mangoes) are a decent source of vitamin A, folate and are pretty high in fiber, which is beneficial for colon cancer prevention, heart disease and weight control."

4. She’s a Singer

Singing and performing are creative endeavors very important to Berlingeri. “Singing at the Estadio Azteca was something I never in my life imagined doing, let alone daring,” she says. “I don't know how I did it, but I did it. I'm thankful for the people who motivated me to achieve it because I couldn't do it alone. Thanks to my mother for giving birth to me in Puerto Rico and with my father for raising me on this island that I love so much.”

5. Blue Therapy

Berlingeri loves to be by the ocean as much as she can. Having access to blue space is shown to have mental health benefits. "Increased views of blue space is significantly associated with lower levels of psychological distress," says Amber L. Pearson, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of health geography and a member of MSU's Water Science Network.

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand. Dressed in a sleek black workout set, she didn’t just make the workout look effortless—she made it look empowering. Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
