Love Island star Montana Brown is enjoying a magical babymoon in Bermuda. Brown shared pictures of herself posing on the balcony in a red bathing suit and straw hat, against a gorgeous background of blue skies. “Babymoon has begun 👶🏽,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brown 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. No Dieting

Brown doesn’t follow any specific diets or fads. "I drink two liters of water per day, but I never follow a food plan as such because I don’t think they’re very good,” she says. “We all have busy lives, with pressures, why would you want to do that to yourself too? I wouldn’t stick to it and I’d end up being disappointed with myself. I just eat healthy when I can. And if I want a burger from time to time I will."

2. Honey For Sweetness

Brown has switched from sugar to agave. "For the past year, I’ve found it hard to cut out sugar,” she says. “But now I’ve started to use agave honey in my porridge and tea. I've got such a sweet tooth, though, so it’s tough cutting out the pick n mix."

3. No Alcohol

Brown rarely drinks alcohol, saying she feels better without it. “Overall, a sober life has a wide array of benefits, including improved physical and mental health,” according to American Addiction Centers. “Quitting alcohol may even reverse some of the damage that alcohol can have on your body.”

4. Hiking

Brown has continued to get plenty of walking and hiking throughout her pregnancy. “The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says cardiologist Dr. Aaron Baggish. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

5. Lots of Vegetables

Brown enjoys plenty of vegetables as part of her daily diet. "I don’t tend to exclude foods but I try not to have refined carbs for dinner,” she says. And I try to stick to between five and seven fruit and veg portions a day. It’s quite easy for me as I’ll have it with my porridge or in a shake."

Newlywed Billi Mucklow is enjoying her honeymoon in her swimsuit. The TOWIE star, who recently tied the knot with Andy Carroll, flaunts her famous figure in a swimsuit via her latest social media post. “Te Amo,” she captioned the Instagram snap of herself and her new husband. How does the Brit beauty maintain her fit figure? Read on to see 5 ways Billi Mucklow 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. Her Husband Motivates Her

Billi maintains that her husband motivates her to stay in shape with tough love. "[Andy] doesn't take much notice, he just says to me when I moan: 'Ah, am I fat?' He's like: 'If you don't like something, do something about it.' He's good in that way because obviously he trains every day of his life, his body's amazing. So if I moan and complain he's just like: 'Get up the gym, do yoga, do something about it'. So he won't suffer moaning. He does all that making me [feel] nice but.. When you don't look nice but he says you do; [Then] I say: 'No but tell me the truth' and he says: 'Yeah but if I tell you the truth you have a go at me!'" she revealed to Daily Mail.

2. She Started Working Out Again After Having a Baby

Billi was determined to get back in shape after having a baby. "I've been doing it through a combination of eating healthily and exercising. I had to have a cesarean, so wasn't able to do anything for six weeks after giving birth while I healed. Once I was given the all clear, I started working with a personal trainer who specialises in post-partum training – I work out with her two to three times a week," she told the Daily Star. "I've always been a really fit and active person so I found it really frustrating going back to the gym and realising that I couldn't even do one sit up! My trainer explained that it would take time to get my muscles back and gradually over time I've been able to regain my fitness."

3. She Is a Devoted Yogi

Billi is a devoted yogi. She happens to be certified in Bikram yoga and even opened her own studio in Essex, Hot Yoga Essex. According to the studio’s website, Billi started doing yoga after attending Bikram classes with her dad. “She fell in love almost instantly. It provided her with the complete, thorough workout and feeling of wellbeing that she had never experienced before. In fact, Billi was so taken by it that she began to attend classes almost every day for the next two years. After a while it became clear to Billi that she didn’t want yoga to be just a hobby, but she felt it was something she would like to make a career out of, so that she could share with others the benefits Bikram had brought to her– both mentally and physically,” it says.

4. She Goes On Stroller Runs

Billi doesn’t use motherhood as an excuse to hit the pavement. “Let’s Run Baby….. We’re Getting Wedding Ready!” she captioned a photo from one of her workouts. “I love to take Marvel out everyday with me but need to be running and this buggy is so light and great for the outdoors roads/ fields,” she added about her Cybex stroller.

5. She Counts Calories

Billi maintains a healthy diet. When she wants to lose weight she cuts calories. “I’ve been sticking to a calorie-controlled diet since having Arlo and over past couple of months I’ve also been taking Skinny Sprinkles to help shift those last stubborn pounds,” she told Daily Star.

1. This is How She Eats

“When at home it’s usually fairly clean. Protein, veg, a grain, and healthy fats. I try to eat organic produce and grass fed animal protein. I also incorporate beans and plant based protein options. We do eat out a few nights a week and I’m not too strict about what is on my plate. I’ll eat bread and dessert. I try to have an 80/20 balance. I spent many years focusing on my body and what I consumed, but since having kids everything has been put into perspective,” she told Body + Soul. “Now I eat well for longevity, but also try to enjoy social experiences without overthinking things.”

2. She Says, Wear Your Sunscreen

“One thing that I wish I did more of—and now it’s so much a part of my routine—is sunscreen. The sun is so strong in Australia and my parents were always hounding me about wearing it, and I was always, ‘Oh no. I don’t need that!’ Of course, you’re 15 years old and you don’t think you’re ever going to age, but it’s something that, when growing up in Australia was so, so important. Now, I really see the effects of it. I will not leave the house—I will not leave my bedroom in the morning—without wearing sunscreen,” she told New Beauty.

3. She Takes These Two Supplements

The Fashion Awards 2021 - VIP ArrivalsDave Benett/Getty Images

“The two supplements I consistently take are a a multivitamin and Omega 3. Sometimes I add vitamin D, vitamin C, and a probiotic. I love listening to Dr Rhonda Patrick (Found My Fitness) and Dr Andrew Huberman (Huberman Lab) discuss supplementation on their podcasts. I obviously check with my own doctor too,” she told Body + Soul.

4. Her Pregnancies Affected Her Body Image

“As someone who’s had two babies in two years, I’ve been through the wringer in terms of body image. I’ve seen my body drastically change twice now. I gained 40 pounds in my first pregnancy, 37 my second. That’s a lot of weight over the course of two years,” she told New Beauty. “As miraculous as it is to see your body change and grow, it’s also a real adjustment once you’ve given birth. You have to learn to love this body that you’re in…you have to learn to embrace it. That’s something that I’ve really been working over the past two years. I never thought I would have the confidence to be able to design and then show the world my body in a swimsuit.”

5. This is Her Morning Routine

“I usually wake at 5:15am to drink my coffee (in peace!), then exercise. I either run or do some form of strength training before the kids wake at 7. I’ve always been an early riser and I find it’s the only time I’m motivated to work out. Once James and Elle wake, it becomes a little wild, so I really enjoy the ‘me time,’” she told Body + Soul.

Jamie Otis, the influencer, author, podcaster, and reality star, is looking forward to the warmer weather. Otis celebrated Memorial Day Weekend, and posted a stunning new reel on Instagram. In it, Otis walked in a desert canyon. She wore a black bathing suit, showing off her body. She captioned the reel, “This weekend marks the beginning of summer.☀️ We all have body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, and rolls…Wear the suit and go enjoy yourself.👙😎🏝.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jamie Otis 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 Embraces Her Body

Otis is proud of her body, and she wants people to know it. She talks about self-love and body positivity on a lot of her Instagram posts, including her most recent Memorial Day reel. “We all have body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, and rolls,” Otis wrote. “Wear the suit and go enjoy yourself.”

2. She No Longer Takes “Before & After” Photos

One thing Otis is doing to help herself stay confident is not taking “before and after” photos for social media, especially after having her two kids. She revealed her explanations for doing this in this reel. “I'm never taking a degrading "before" pic again. It's just not for me anymore. After having my first rainbow baby, my goal was to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes asap. It was never about health. It's taken me decades to learn that I'm more than my pant size & the number on the scale doesn't define me. Halle-freakin-lujah.

3. She Went On A Cleanse

Otis revealed in this reel that she was about to make a lot of changes to her diet and lifestyle. “Today I am cutting out gluten, dairy, alcohol, and extra sugars bc my skin has been so red and dry,” she explained. “It's like my body has been screaming at me to take better care of it. I've got that eczema on my eyelids, dandruff and itchy scalp, and just ya know, no energy & always feeling physically & mentally drained.”

4. She Worked Out While She Was Pregnant

2019 A+E Networks UpfrontDia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Otis made sure to get workouts in while she was pregnant. On her website, she explained her reason for doing so. “I am committed to staying strong and healthy for me and my rainbow baby. I know that the first half of my pregnancy was a struggle, but I’m getting back on track (and writing this blog/putting it out into the world is my way of holding myself accountable)!”

5. She Opened Up About Her Struggles

In 2019, a controversial “Heartbeat Bill” was passed in some states, which would limit access to abortions, with Alabama banning them completely. When this happened, Otis wrote a guest piece for People about her own abortion, wanting to let others know they weren’t alone, and to reduce the stigma. “I know I’m going to get backlash for opening up about my past. Like I said, my abortions still torment me and I hate that I had to have them. However, am I thankful? Of course. I wouldn’t be able to be a good mother to my daughter right now or have been able to be a good parent to my siblings back then. The cycle continues because there’s not enough education about sex and birth control, and not enough support. There’s not enough constructive discussion about abortion. It sucks. It really sucks. But the truth of the matter is it is a necessary option.”

Billi Mucklow, from The Only Way is Essex, is hitting the beach house for her hen do! She reshared some photos from Victoria Tempest at the Eva Beach House, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (She’s soon set to marry her longtime partner, footballer Andy Carroll.) How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Billi Mucklow 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

Billi-Mucklow-1Billi Mucklow/Instagram

“Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none at all. To reap the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day — take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

2. Her Partner is Supportive

Billi-Mucklow-2Billi Mucklow/Instagram

Back when she was unhappy about her pregnancy weight, she said: “[Andy] doesn't take much notice, he just says to me when I moan: 'Ah, am I fat?' He's like: 'If you don't like something, do something about it.’ He's good in that way because obviously he trains every day of his life, his body's amazing. So if I moan and complain he's just like: 'Get up the gym, do yoga, do something about it'. So he won't suffer moaning. He does all that making me [feel] nice but.. When you don't look nice but he says you do; [Then] I say: 'No but tell me the truth' and he says: 'Yeah but if I tell you the truth you have a go at me!'” she told the Daily Mail.

3. This is How She Lost Her Baby Weight a While Back

Billi wanted to go back to heri pre-pregnancy weight. “I’ve been doing it through a combination of eating healthily and exercising. I had to have a cesarean, so wasn’t able to do anything for six weeks after giving birth while I healed. Once I was given the all clear, I started working with a personal trainer who specialises in post-partum training – I work out with her two to three times a week,” she told the Daily Star. “I’ve always been a really fit and active person so I found it really frustrating going back to the gym and realising that I couldn’t even do one sit up! My trainer explained that it would take time to get my muscles back and gradually over time I’ve been able to regain my fitness.”

4. She Had a Cancer Scare

She once wrote: "I have had some major surgery removing a Tumour in my neck that I found some weeks ago due to a visible lump, constantly loosing my voice and breathing restrictions. After many tests and biopsy only option was to have the lump removed along with my Thyroid… I’ve been waiting two weeks to get the results hoping it's wasn’t the 'C' word and today I got them results and got the all clear.”

5. She Loves to Play With Her Kids

“With summer in full swing and seemingly unlimited opportunities for kids to play, it’s a good time to remember that play isn’t just fun — it’s the foundation for healthy growth. Play strengthens bones, muscles, lungs and the heart, and can help reduce obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol,” says the Mayo Clinic. “In addition to the positive physical benefits of play, play also is important for emotional and mental development. Play helps build confidence — think of the boost kids get when they go down the big slide or learn to pump on a swing — and can teach them how to problem solve.”

1. She Drinks Coffee

“While past studies hinted that coffee might have a dark side, newer research suggests that it may actually have health benefits. Why the reversal? It's hard to look at just one aspect of diet and connect it to a health condition because so many other factors that could play a role. For example, early research on coffee didn't always take into account that heavy coffee drinkers also tended to use tobacco and be sedentary,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When newer studies adjusted for such factors, they found a possible association between coffee and decreased mortality. Coffee may offer some protection against:

  • Parkinson's disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Liver disease, including liver cancer
  • Heart attack and stroke”

2. She Tries Not to Lose Too Much Weight, After an Obsession With Exercise

“When you have good people around you, mammy as well, she noticed, she said ‘you’ve got too thin' or whatever and I was like ‘yeah, yeah, yeah I know, I’m trying to sort it out,’” she told the MailOnline. She added: “I’m not working out as much as I was, I ended up losing too much weight.” And: “I’m not doing it as much, once, twice a week max, and to be honest I’m just really good with my diet at the moment. It’s all about balance.” And: “I eased off the exercise and upped my calories and stuff. It’s good to have people around you that are not afraid to say these things to you. It’s so important. I’m feeling so much better.”

3. She is Not Afraid of a Few Grey Hairs

Pride Of Britain Awards 2021 - Red Carpet ArrivalsGareth Cattermole/Getty Images

“I put on Instagram a picture of my grey hairs and honestly the amount of messages I got from younger girls, girls in their early 20s saying ‘oh my God, thank you so much for this, I've never shown anyone my grey hair, I keep it a secret but now I feel like I'm going to embrace it and not be afraid,'” she told MailOnline. “My hair went grey when I was 18. I'm so used to it now, 18 feels like a long time ago. I don't know why it happened, maybe I'm old on the inside! I just said to mammy "why has this happened? Why do I get the bad genes?" She said to me ‘well it's not from me because I didn't have grey hair at 18!’”

4. She Learned How to Take a Break

After a particularly stressful shoot, “It was Michael Barrymore who gave me the advice” to just chill out and not be go, go, go. “I was training for Dancing On Ice and he is a really, really lovely man. He knew by me that I was going through a bit of a time of it….I remember him saying to me, ‘You need to take a break because if these brands and everyone really do want you then they will wait for you.’ So I took his advice and it’s the best thing I ever did. And I would give the same advice to all the new Love Islanders….I didn’t take all the jobs and I didn’t just think of all the cash,” she told the Independent.

5. She Once Showed Off Her “Food Baby”

London Celebrity Sightings - October 21, 2021Ricky Vigil/GC Images

After a Christmas meal, Higgins showed a bulging tummy and asked fans if she had a “baby” or “food baby.” For her followers, it was an important admission: that eating is OK. Said some followers: “Thank you so much for showing us this” and “keeping it real for us all.” And: “This made me feel a bit better. You’re beautiful,” “I needed this, thank you”’ and “This has really helped me today, thank you xx hope you had a lovely xmas.”

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “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 depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is "More Motivated Than Ever"

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of 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.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas
