1. Ride a Bike

Monika loves riding bikes. “Life is like riding a bicycle to keep your balance you must keep moving forward,” she captioned a snap.

It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

2. Start the Day with a Coffee Coffee

You can often find Monika with a cup of coffee in hand. “Coffee for the road and it's time to get back from #warszawa to #krakow,” she captioned a photo. According to a 2022 study published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.

3. Take a Bath

Monika has an easy way of destressing: She takes a bath. “Chilled out by the sea, chill in the tub and now time to head out for a Christmas dinner. This is the kind of holidays I like,” she captioned a photo. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

4. Find a Winter Sport You Love

It can be easy being lazy in the winter. However, Monika manages to stay in shape via skiing. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

5. Practice Self-Love

Monika is all about self-love. “The sides arrived 😱 the a** has grown 😂 and Monia is still joyful!” she captioned a post, embracing her curves. “Darlings, I don't believe it myself, but I have 5 kilos more.”

Polish-Mexican star Ludwika Paleta is dreaming of summer days as she heads into the holiday season. The 43-year-old actress posted photos of herself wearing a black bathing suit with a white shirt over it, captioning the shots “Missing the beach... the ice, the friends, the mezcal, the laughter and the chocolate ❤️” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Paleta 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 Snorkeling

Paleta is a big fan of ocean activities like snorkeling and swimming. “Research has shown that being near, in, on or under water can provide a long list of benefits for our mind and body, including lowering stress and anxiety, increasing an overall sense of well-being and happiness, a lower heart and breathing rate, and safe, better workouts, says marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols. “Aquatic therapists are increasingly looking to the water to help treat and manage PTSD, addiction, anxiety disorders, autism and more.”

2. She Takes Baths

As a busy mother of two, Paleta loves nothing better than relaxing in a bath. “Taking baths has great physical and mental health benefits,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “Baths help many people sleep well,” notes Dr. Zack. “They also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors.”

3. She Likes To Kayak

Paleta enjoys kayaking in the ocean, something experts say has many health benefits. “The term ‘blue mind’ describes the mildly meditative state we fall into when near, in, on or under water,” says Nichols. “It’s the antidote to what we refer to as ‘red mind,’ which is the anxious, over-connected and over-stimulated state that defines the new normal of modern life. Research has proven that spending time near the water is essential to achieving an elevated and sustained happiness.”

4. She Takes Collagen Supplements

Paleta takes collagen supplements as part of her wellness regimen. “Many people don’t realize that adding collagen to your diet can also help in reducing the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks,” says Amy Myers, MD. “When skin loses its elasticity and becomes thin, cellulite becomes more obvious. Collagen benefits your skin by increasing moisture retention, boosting elasticity, and helping to smooth out that dimpled appearance.”

5. Granola With Fresh Fruit For Breakfast

Paleta enjoys a bowl of granola with fresh fruit for breakfast. “Research suggests eating a wide variety of plant foods – ideally 30 different foods a week – is key to promoting a diverse range of beneficial gut bacteria,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Granola is made up of a number of ingredients including oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. These ingredients are rich in dietary fibre and plant compounds called polyphenols which studies indicate have beneficial effects on the diversity of our gut microbes.”

Polish actress Katarzyna Glinka doesn’t just work on her outer appearance—she focuses on her mental health, too. Glinka posted a photo of herself looking serene in a black and white bathing suit, saying she was enjoying some mindfulness. “When Leo sleeps in the morning I learn to meditate. It's not easy because I'm one of those who think too much - and that doesn't help with meditation. But you know what, I've been trying to observe the world since this morning. Looking at the specks. For how the day wakes up. Mindfulness helps to stop thoughts from flowing. And what's more interesting - time stops flying,” she captioned the shot. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Glinka 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 Mexican Food

Glinka is a huge fan of Mexican food, and loves to cook it at home for her friends and family. “There’s a tremendous amount of confidence-boosting and self-esteem boosting, performing an act like cooking for others,” says Julie Ohana, a licensed masters clinical social worker and culinary art therapist. “And that’s part of what lends itself to those psychological effects about being able to do something that you feel really good about.”

2. She Meditates

Glinka likes to start her day with meditation. “If you have unproductive worries,” says Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, a psychiatrist at the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “You might think ‘I’m late, I might lose my job if I don’t get there on time, and it will be a disaster!’ Mindfulness teaches you to recognize, ‘Oh, there’s that thought again. I’ve been here before. But it’s just that—a thought, and not a part of my core self.’”

3. She Gets Spa Facials

Glinka takes care of her skin with regular facials, which she considers “me time”. “Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems,” says the Mayo Clinic. “To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Get enough sleep, set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.”

4. She Loves To Ski

Glinka enjoys taking skiing trips with her family. “Exercise can be a mental distraction from worrisome thoughts. We also know that being out in nature generally enhances our sense of well-being, so exercise that takes place outdoors, such as skiing in this study, should be especially helpful,” says James Maddux, a professor emeritus in the department of psychology at George Mason University in Virginia. “Engaging in a period of exercise can lead to a sense of accomplishment and a greater sense of self-efficacy (or self-confidence) that can lead to lower anxiety.”

5. She Enjoys Mango

Glinka loves to eat fruit, especially delicious mango. “Mangos are a good source of protective compounds with antioxidant properties, these plant chemicals include gallotannins and mangiferin,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Both have been studied for their ability to counter the oxidative stress associated with day to day living and exposure to toxins. As with other plant foods many of these compounds are found in and just beneath the skin. A 2012 study looking at the peel of mangoes concluded that it may play a role in preventing obesity, thanks to the plant chemicals located there.”

Żmijewska revealed on Instagram that she is working with a personal trainer to stay in shape. “I'm no sports freak, but thanks to @songo.90 I liked training at the gym,” she writes in the post’s caption. “It's much better to train under the eye of a person who knows it well.

2. She Takes Care of Her Body

“I take great care of my body on an aesthetic level: I look for the best creams, I do mud baths, I love massages and often … I massage myself. The truth is that being a curious person and having tried different types, over and over again, I also learned how to perform them professionally. And therefore not only were the friends satisfied, but I myself apply what I have understood and experienced on myself,” she has said.

Monica likes to run outdoors. “It lowers your risk of heart attack or stroke. It's good for your bones, blood pressure, and your brain. As you exercise more vigorously—stepping up from walking to running—you will boost cardio and pulmonary fitness. At the same pace, running burns 20% more calories than a brisk walk,” says Harvard Health.

5. She Loves Dogs

“It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that owning a dog requires a little bit of energy. Dogs have to be walked and exercised, which means dog owners are out there getting more physical activity than people without dogs.

Another found that 60% of dog owners who took their dogs for regular walks were considered to get regular moderate or vigorous exercise based on federal standards,” says the Animal Health Foundation.

Brooke Ence is a fitness expert, and is the founder of From The Farm USA. She shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. Recently, Ence shared a video of herself doing interval weight training. In it, she is seen doing things like burpees, deadlifts, and sit-ups. Ence captioned the post, “So here’s one of my favorite ways to break a sweat. 🔥 It’s challenging, mentally engaging, and interval style, which always keeps it fun.”

She Lifts Weights

As you can see from her Instagram video, Ence likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of other posts of herself using weights. According to ACE Fitness, lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Does Deadlifts

Ence is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “One significant benefit of the RDL is that it teaches clients how to lift from the hips instead of using the lower back. The base move of the RDL is the standing hip hinge, which is an important component of learning how to squat correctly. The first move during the lowering phase of the squat should be the hips moving back in a flexed position. Back pain is often associated with not using the hips properly when squatting or bending over to pick an object up off of the ground. Teaching clients how to lift safely in the gym means they m

She Does Burpees

Ence is seen doing burpees by jumping over a barbell in her Instagram video. Burpees have a lot of benefits. A Healthier Michigan says, “A burpee is an easy exercise and can be done in almost any location because it involves no workout equipment and only requires a small amount of space. Burpees workout your entire body and are great for building strength and burning calories.”

She Does Sit-ups

Another exercise that Ence is seen doing in her Instagram video is sit-ups. The Cleveland Clinic says that sit-ups are very beneficial. “Sit ups are essential for strengthening your core — something that’s obvious. But your core is responsible for so much more than those classic ‘six pack’ abs many strive for. A strong core can reduce back pain, improve balance and increase your flexibility. Core muscles also support your hips and pelvis. Finally, a strong core will help you build good posture.”

She Jumps Rope

Another thing that Ence does to keep herself in shape is jump rope. She shared a photo on Instagram of herself jumping rope for an interval. Ence captioned it, “Got snapped 📸 during my training day. Here's the Metcon I was doing, how many double unders could you get? 4 Rounds. 20 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches . 90 Seconds Amrap Double Unders.. Rest 1:00.”

Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, really. It also generates power for upper-body movements and all kinds of other activities.”

She Loves Eggs

She Loves Raspberries

Pellacani’s yogurt dish includes raspberries. The Cleveland Clinic states that they have a lot of benefits. “Raspberries are also full of antioxidants and nutrients called polyphenols that decrease oxidative damage.

Potassium.”

Emily Ratajkowski is steaming things up south of the border – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the model dances around in a red bathing suit with her pal Ziwe, attracting lots of attention. “Escaped to Mexico just for TikTok,” she writes. “Guess we live here now.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are 5 habits responsible for her gravity-defying body.

Yoga

Emily appreciates a zen form of fitness. “I don’t have a trainer, and I don’t really go to the gym,” she told The New York Times. “I’m just not a crazy fitness person. I’m definitely an outlier in the industry,” she added. “And doing yoga a couple of times a week is a really big part of my regimen.” 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.

Baths

Emily regularly shares bath photos on her social media feed. found helpful in minimizing anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits. And did you know they are a form of exercise? According to Loughborough University research published in the journal Temperature, relaxing in a hot bath can burn as many calories as a 30-minute walk, about 140 calories.

Sleep

Emily makes sure to get a good night’s sleep "For me, the way I sleep afterwards is one of the main reasons to work out. I am always on my phone working and I think that's affected my sleep. I'm also really light-sensitive. When I work out, it's better than taking a melatonin. Because my body has worked hard, my brain finally rests and I think that is so valuable in this day and age — not to sound like an old geezer, but truly I feel that way," she told InStyle.

Long Walks

Emily gets her steps in and also hikes. “I go on long walks and hikes with my girlfriends,” she told the New York Times.

Gym Classes

You might find Emily in a group fitness class. “I'm one of those people who, if I go to the gym by myself, there's a 50/50 chance of me actually working out and really pushing myself, so the class environment works really, really well for me,” Emily told InStyle. “I am also someone who, even in a class, will get chatty and [distracted]. I think that’s the great thing about STRONG — the music keeps me really focused and in the zone,” she continues. “You just feel like you're, you know, Superwoman really pushing herself. You end up working harder and it's a better, more intense workout, without even noticing.”
