Bartel shared some of her favorite ways to stay in shape with WHO. She says that she does a variety of different exercises. “I love Pilates. I have a beautiful Pilates teacher Sara, I have been seeing her for years. I also love to walk with the boys and squeeze in some high intensity weight training. I am always on the go; I get bored if I sit down for too long.”

2. She Has A Positive Mindset

Bartel shared her secrets for maintaining a positive mindset and a good body image with WHO. “I think sometimes it’s only natural to have those little negative thoughts that creep into your head, I know I have had them over the years, but I am lucky that I had a really supportive and balanced upbringing from my mum and dad and the way we looked or what we ate was never a focus. Instead as a family we always kept very active together as we were always outdoors playing every chance we could get. I think that helped to create a positive mindset from a young age.”

3. She Believes In Moderation

Bartel said to WHO that she believes in moderation when it comes to her diet. “I am pretty relaxed with my diet, as I am a big foodie and love eating out at restaurants. I do try to stick to a diet filled with lots of vegetables and protein. I eat a lot of fish and I love tuna. I also live on nuts, eggs and cheese. I also love my carbs and have pasta a couple of nights a week. I really believe in everything in moderation, so you don’t crave anything and binge. I also have a bit of a sweet tooth – soft lollies like Chicos or anything sour is my weakness.”

Bartel likes to give back to charities. She tells Women’s Health that breast cancer is a passion for her. “I am so passionate about raising awareness for breast cancer. I have also done some ambassador work with Pink Hope in the past, which do great work in this space. I think we all know of someone that has been affected by breast cancer- it is such a huge issue in Australia and is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in Australian women.”

5. She Meditates

Bartel revealed to Women’s Health that she likes to practice meditation. “It is so important to remove negative thoughts, stress, worries and anxiety. It has been such a huge difference to my mental health and wellbeing once I started doing it regularly. It can be hard to start, but there are so many apps around like Calm or Headspace which can help.”

Bartel took part in an Instagram Q&A where she explained her approach to health and fitness. “I started intermediate fasting during Covid and felt really good, I would have my last meal at 7.30pm and eat again at 11.30am,” Bartel says. “It was hard initially as I was a big breakfast eater so I was starved. But I suffer from a few stomach issues and it helped with my bloating etc and general energy levels. I have eased off a bit the last few months but keen to start it again.”

2. She Follows a Mediterranean Diet

“My diet is very Mediterranean due to my Italian background so I love nuts, olive oil, avocado etc (so good for our skin too). I also try to add a little protein at most meal times,” Bartel says. “'But I am also a massive sweet tooth so if I want lollies or chocolate I will have it, I just try be healthy 80 percent of the time which isn't always the case especially when I'm eating on the go.”

3. She Loves Pilates

Bartel is all about building strength and getting toned. “Two mornings a week I try to fit in some exercise,” she tells Women’s Health. “I love Pilates and resistance training. My son is only 10 months old, and still up a few times a night, so I haven’t been able to fit much exercise in lately as sleep is more important, but I am looking forward to getting back into it soon.”

4. She Eats Lots of Fish

Bartel’s go-to dinners usually consist of salmon and roast vegetables. “We’ve long been told that fish is ‘brain food’, and there’s convincing evidence to support this,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “Studies suggest regular consumption reduces age-related brain loss and may improve memory – it’s the omega-3 fatty acids that are responsible for this. Studies investigating the role fatty varieties of fish play have seen benefits for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, depression and multiple sclerosis.”

Read on to see 5 ways Nina Agdal 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 Eats A Balanced Diet

Agdal spoke about her wellness routine at the Thursday Boot Co. NYFW Presentation in 2017. She revealed that she believes in eating a balanced diet and believes in eating food that she actually likes. ​​“I try to keep it a fine balance. I eat a lot of vegetables, obviously, like there’s no secret to it — what everyone tells you, eat your veggies, lean protein, fish mostly, but also be able to have a meal that you enjoy. Whether it’s a burger or pizza, whatever it is, and just work out regularly.”

2. She Works Out Because She Likes It

Agdal also spoke about her approach to fitness at the Thursday Boot Co. NYFW Presentation. She shared that she doesn’t work out to lose weight, but rather because she likes it. “I work out five to six days a week for an hour at least, and I do it because I feel better after. Not just because it’s supposed to be good for you, but I like it, I like the way I feel.”

3. She Remembers To Work Out While She’s Traveling

It can be difficult to work out while you are traveling or on vacation, but Agdal says that she makes sure to. When StyleCaster asked what her advice for working out on vacation was, Agdal answered, “Don’t consider it a vacation from the gym. You should always get your sweat in for an hour.” She tells W: “I think we have to all give ourselves a little bit of grace when we’re traveling. It’s really hard keeping up with any sort of workout schedule when you’re thrown off your routine and not in your normal environment. When I’m traveling, if I just get that 15 or 20 minutes in, (on the mat or on a towel or going for a jog outside to see where I am) it’s always extremely helpful for me mentally. The most important thing I always tell people is to create great playlists that make you want to move. I always tell people, ‘Don’t bother bringing [equipment] with you. You can always use water bottles, you can use towels, you can go outside and use a chair.’ But just make sure you have your playlist ready.”

4. She Loves Yoga

Agdal loves to practice yoga to stay in shape. And there is a specific type of yoga class that she likes to take. "I do a bunch of Y7 yoga, which is amazing because it’s dark and nobody’s judging you," she told Health. Yoga “helps with balance and strength and flexibility, which really, all of us need,” says mind and body instructor Colleen Pelkey to the Mayo Clinic. “It can reduce the inflammation in our bodies. It helps with digestion. It just gets everything moving.” Says the Clinic: “Through poses and meditation, yoga helps you focus on your body, breathing and relaxing. So you can tune out the demands of our busy world, and find balance.” “Anybody can benefit from yoga.”

5. She Launched Her Own App

“I wanted to create The Agdal Method to start spreading the word that it’s not about how long you spend in the gym, going to a workout for 60 minutes and torturing yourself, or only drinking green juices and eating lettuce,” she said of her own app, which launched two years ago, to W. And here’s her best wellness advice: “The first thing that comes to my mind is: don’t be so hard on yourself. I think especially with women, we’re just so tough on ourselves in terms of if we eat a piece of cake, then the next day, we have to torture ourselves in the gym, or if we go to the gym and don’t give it 150 percent then it’s not good enough. That mentality is what will almost make your body reject what you’re doing.”

Michelle Jenneke is a track and field athlete known for doing the hurdles. Jenneke has even competed in the Olympics. She also recently competed in Finland, and shared some highlights from the day on Instagram.

1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Jenneke shared some of her favorite workouts with Body & Soul. She says that she does a variety of different things. “It’s a lot of heavy weights there, plus full body exercises and quite a bit of plyometric [exercises]. I start with heavy weights, and then I’ll do some lighter functional circuit, towards the end. All up, that takes an hour and a half to two hours… and sometimes when I finish a session I just lie on the ground.”

2. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Jenneke also shared her diet secrets with Body & Soul. She shared her favorite breakfasts for training day. “It really depends on what my training day looks like, but if I’ve got training in the morning (which I often do at the moment) I’ll have cereal generally before I go out and train. Then, I actually love having a Milo after a hard session – it’s got good levels of protein and iron in it – and then I make myself a second breakfast, which could be muesli with yoghurt or bacon and eggs.”

3. She Dances

Jenneke likes to dance before a meet. "The dancing preparation is good," Jenneke said to The New Zealand Herald. "People see me doing a dance on the track and it's part of my enjoyment ... I love being there and I love racing and that's how I express that. If you watch me during my warm up I'm dancing the whole way through it. I've always got music playing and I'm just really getting into it, it's how I pump myself up for the race."

4. She Swims

Jenneke loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself snorkeling in the ocean. Jenneke captioned the post, “A little taste of my amazing holiday in the Whitsundays last week 🌴⛵️ @suncoastcharters @hamiltonisland #gopro 🎶 Born To Be Yours - Kygo & Imagine Dragons.”

She Trains Consistently

Jenneke shared her training secrets with Body & Soul. She says that consistency is important. “I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on. You do some warm up, a hurdle session, and then a sprint session after that.”
