Laura Rutledge is ready to sweat in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Monday Night Football reporter shows off her amazing body in exercise leggings and a top. “Sunday,” she captioned the mirror selfie shared via her Instagram Stories. How does the television personality approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness tips.


1. Go Golfing

Laura golfs to stay in shape.. “Amazing time with some of my favorite people for a wonderful cause,” she captioned a recent post. According to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

2. Do Pure Barre

Laura feels her best when, “I am regularly going to Pure Barre,” she told I Want Her Job. “It’s almost like a flashback to ballet but not quite as intense. I find it to be such a great workout, and I wish I could do more of it. I try to do pseudo workouts myself, but I do better when I’m in a class because I find more pressure to keep going.” “Barre helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk, and it improves your posture. It also increases cardiovascular endurance and metabolism, which helps to quickly burn calories. Regular barre workouts can increase your bone density, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis,” explains Barre studio Physique 57.

3. Kayak

Another way she loves to sweat? “Going to my parents lake house. They have a little cabin that is secluded, in the woods, rustic, and down and dirty. We go kayaking on the lake. It’s a great way to spend time,” she told the podcast. Kayaking is a great workout. Not only is it great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.

4. Build Immunity

Laura does “a lot of natural things” to avoid getting sick, “I have immune drops that are echinacea and elderberry. I would recommend those to anybody who’s trying to stay healthy and boost their immune system,” she told the podcast. “I’m also big on taking immunity juice shots. You can find a juice shop in a lot of places that you go. I’m not someone to drink a whole green juice. I wish I was better at that. But, I’ve found that drinking just a ginger, lemon, cayenne type of shot that’s all packaged together – even though it’s a bit tough to get through – will really be beneficial,” she said.

5. Hydrate

Laura makes sure to hydrate. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Chelsea Green is showing off her incredible figure in a new photoshoot in her swimsuit! The WWE star wears a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, taken during a shoot with photographer J.R. Hutter. “Happy Sunday,” he captioned the snap. “So beautiful and elegant,” commented one of her followers. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Chelsea Green 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 Her Bruises

“I enjoy the physicality of being a wrestler,” Chelsea told Fitness Gurls. “The bumps & bruises I get are the best part of my job. I look at those like I would’ve looked at a trophy for a kickass soccer game, or a medal for winning the 100m race. I’ve also always loved working out and seeing my body change, so now to be able to do that and be rewarded is amazing. The reward being, seeing myself on TV weekly!”

2. She Inspires Herself to Work Out and Eat Healthy

“Seeing myself on national television weekly is enough inspiration to get my ass out of bed every morning! In wrestling, we have no offseason. So unlike most sports, we don’t have time to binge eat or to take vacations from the gym,” Chelsea told Fitness Gurls. “That in itself is a blessing and a curse. I constantly stay in the gym and make sure that my workout routines are ones that I can uphold 24/7 as opposed to fad diets. With that being said, there are plenty of injuries that come with my job. I’ve learned to workout around those, while also knowing when to just REST.”

3. She Takes Boxing Classes

Aside from professionally kicking butt, Chelsea supplements with boxing and kickboxing workouts. “Couldn’t leave NYC without a quick ass kicking from @doyourumble,” she captioned a post on Instagram.

4. She Does F45

Chelsea is also a fan of F45 training, a combination of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), functional training and circuit training. Fun fact: Mark Wahlberg is a big investor in the company. “New location, same death,” she captioned a snap from the Oviedo, Florida studio.

5. She Hikes

Chelsea also loves to hike. “My favourite hike with my favourite fur nephew!,” she captioned a snap taken with a dog. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service.

Heidi Vuorela is a fitness superstar and influencer who has gained a massive following on Instagram thanks to her dedication to fitness and her impressive figure.

She captioned the post, “It’s Friday,” giving her followers a glimpse into her workout routine and the confidence she’s earned through her hard work and discipline.


1. She Rests

Vuorela works out regularly. However, she makes sure to prioritize her rest days. She talked about this in the caption of an Instagram post. “Finally, it was training today after 3 days of involuntary rest,” Vuorela wrote. “Had to take the kids with me to get it together, but it went great. Stayed for 2 hours at the gym and they did not whine once that they wanted to go home. They thrive almost as well as I do there.”

2. She Does Leg Workouts

Vuorela makes sure to workout her entire body. Which includes her upper body. She likes to reveal what day she did in the captions of her gym videos. Vuorela captioned this video, “Today it was a workout. Back and triceps 👌 How can you think that this is just as fun every time! 😃 Never get tired of going to the gym 🥰

3. She Works Her Legs

Vuorela doesn’t skip leg day. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself revealing that she did a lower body workout that day in their captions. Vuorela captioned this post, “First session in 2 weeks! Trained a late evening workout from 21-23 and it turned into one hell of a leg workout. Usually do not work out for as long as 2 hours but tonight after such a long rest I just wanted to feed on and never stop 😄 Now we are back to these routines.”

4. She’s Motivated

Vuorela makes sure to stay motivated to workout. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Became a leg pass to end this week as usual. Didn't really want to work out at 17:30, when you are used to working out in the mornings. Thought it would be completely full in the gym on a Friday night. But it was almost deserted. So nice that I still went to the gym because I tagged along and it was a good workout anyway even though you were unmotivated at first.”

5. She Goes Outside

Vuorela likes to go outside. She shared this post on Instagram of herself in a field. According to UC Davis, going outside is very beneficial. “Studies also show that being in nature has a positive effect on our bodies by reducing cortisol levels, muscle tension, and demands on our cardiovascular systems (lowers heart rate and blood pressure). Being out in nature often may lead to lower rates of heart disease. The great outdoors can also help you increase your vitamin D level, which is important for your bones, blood cells, and immune system.”

Laura Henshaw is in-between marathons. In a new social media post the fitness influencer shows off her amazing body in a sports bra and shorts while jogging. “Ok the post marathon blues are NO joke. I don’t want to maintain my full marathon load at the moment so have decided to do our KICRUN half marathon program so I have a goal to work towards and structure for my training that helps me sooo much with motivation ❤️. I am so grateful I felt so good for my first long run day back,” she writes. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Laura starts her day with an espresso, she told Elle. The Cleveland Clinic explains that there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “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 depres

She Eats Healthy Most of the Time

Moderation is Laura’s mantra “I don't usually have a 'cheat day', as I don't deprive myself of anything and believe in everything in moderation,” Laura told Elle. “I follow the 80/20 philosophy and eat well most of the time but a few times a week if I am craving a treat—I have it. Sometimes there is nothing better than hot chips.”

Here's What She Eats in a Day

“For breakfast, usually some type of smoothie. I am swapping between a green smoothie and our Keep It Cleaner Berry Good Smoothie at the moment,” she told Elle. “At lunch, I usually have a big salad with lean protein or fish (tuna usually).” For a snack? “I always need something sweet at 3pm, so I'll have one our Keep it Cleaner Choc Cherry Protein Bars as a snack.” Finally, “I always mix up what I have for dinner. At the moment I am loving our Mexican bowls or baked fish with veggies.”

No Crash Diets

Laura just says no to crash diets. “I try to stay healthy and balanced most of the time so I don't have to ever 'diet' or restrict myself. If I do have something coming up I just make sure I am eating well and moving my body as much as I can,” she told Elle.

She Runs

“My favorite way to move my body is to run. I run about 3-4 times a week. A run always clears my mind—it is my form of meditation,” she told Elle. Running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” says Mayo Clinic.

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
