Read on to see 5 ways Myleene Klass 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 Wants To Inspire Her Kids

One of Klass’ motivations for staying healthy is for her kids. Specifically, she says that she wants her kids to have healthy body images as they grow up. Klass tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to be an inspiration when she’s in front of them. “I don’t want my children to have a bad body image, so I don’t want them to see me sitting there sucking in my stomach or looking at myself negatively.”

2. She Doesn’t Diet

Klass tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t believe in going on diets, or denying herself indulgences. “I used to do that whole thing of, ‘I’m not going to go near chocolate’ and all that happens is that three days later it’s all I’m craving and I just go mental.” Klass says that she doesn’t even use the word “diet” in her vocabulary. “I won’t even call a Diet Coke by its name – in my house it’s known as a ‘DC.’”

3. She Embraces Her Body

Klass tells Women’s Health that she has learned to accept her body for what it is, and has learned to work with it. “I'm not naturally slim. I’m 5ft 5in and I’m not a model. Because I’m not a model, I’ve learnt to make the best of what I’ve got – short legs and bandy arms and a long back and terrible posture, but I don’t wish to be anything else.”

4. She Takes Changes To Her Diet Slowly

Klass tells The Sun that she has made changes to her diet, but does them slowly over time. “You don’t need to overhaul what you eat. Slowly introduce things. Maybe replace a potato with a sweet potato to start. It’s about finding small alternatives rather than suddenly saying ‘I’m on a diet’ – because as soon as you say no to something, you are screwed.”

5. She Eats Healthy

Klass broke down her daily diet to The Sun. She revealed that she eats healthy each day, and varies what foods she chooses in each meal, and how heavy it is. “For breakfast, me and the girls have porridge with ­different toppings – banana, berries, raisins. Lunch is lighter. I’m on the go so I’ll have something light like grilled chicken, and I love salads. Supper is meat and veg.”

1. She Runs

Redknapp loves to run, in any circumstances. She revealed on her Instagram stories that she still runs when it’s cold and the winter weather is happening. "I went for a little run in the snow today. It's def helping me through lockdown."

Redknapp is outspoken about her desire to be a role model for young women. She doesn’t want others to face unfair beauty standards or feel like they have to be thin. Redknapp even made a documentary about it. It was called The Truth About Size Zero, and talked about the singer’s struggles with her weight, and the dangers of losing too much weight. “Everything he said shocked me. It’s a shame. If every woman in the country, or every woman in the world, that wants to lose weight and become really skinny, if they could all just have half an hour sat down with a doctor telling them exactly what's going to happen to them, I think you’d get very few of them that would carry on with it," she told Sassy Bella.

3. She Does Pilates

Redknapp talked about her approach to life in an interview with Red magazine. She says that she aims to be fearless. “When I was having a really rough time with everything, a close friend said to me: ‘Be fearless’,” she explained. “I lost the meaning of these words for a while and I'm working hard to get it back.”

5. Don't Be Quiet, She Says

In her memoir, Redknapp talked about what led to her divorce, and what she learned from it. She says that she is no longer afraid to say what she needs to say. “Once you run too fast, you can’t make up the ground you’ve lost. Stop, say what you need, say what you think, don’t be afraid to say what’s really going on. You don’t have to be quiet."

Myleene Klass is in the boardroom in her bathing suit! The singer shows off her famous figure while at the office in her latest social media post. “Boardroom swimwear meeting,” she captioned the Instagram photo, modeling an animal print swimsuit from her collection with Next. How does the 44-year-old maintain her famous physique? Read on to see 8 ways Myleene Klass 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 Majorly Overhauled Her Lifesyle

After her band Hear'Say split up in 2001, Mylene started “chaotic eating” and went from a size eight to a 16. However, she completely changed her diet, she revealed to Women’s Health. Previously she would skip breakfast and eat a jacket potato with cheese and salad, chinese takeaway for dinner, and snack on chips or chocolate. Now she will eat porridge with banana for breakfast, salmon salad or sushi for lunch and pasta with chicken and might occasionally snack on fruit.

2. She Embraces Her Body

Myleene accepts her body the way it is. “I'm not naturally slim. I’m 5ft 5in and I’m not a model,” she told Women’s Health. “Because I’m not a model, I’ve learnt to make the best of what I’ve got – short legs and bandy arms and a long back and terrible posture, but I don’t wish to be anything else. It’s my points of difference that have made me a success.”

3. She Indulges in Moderation

Myleene is all about moderation. “I used to do that whole thing of, ‘I’m not going to go near chocolate’ and all that happens is that three days later it’s all I’m craving and I just go mental,” she told Women’s Health.

4. She Doesn’t Use the Word “Diet”

Myleene refuses to use the word “diet.” She told Women’s Health, “I don’t want my children to have a bad body image so I don’t want them to see me sitting there sucking in my stomach or looking at myself negatively. I want them to see me eating well. I won’t use the word diet. I won’t even call a Diet Coke by its name – in my house it’s known as a DC.”

5. She Pushes Herself at the Gym

In another interview with Women’s Health she talked about fitness. ​​“I love boxing and core work, but hate—hate—arm exercises, so when I work out, I incorporate all three from MyBody by Myleene programme. I tell my PT I hate him the whole time when I push myself, but by the end I feel great.”

6. She Only Does Result-Based Workouts

Myleene only does time efficient and effective workouts. “I don’t have an hour to kill. I don’t even have a minute to kill. Every moment in my life has to be accounted for because I’ve got people depending on me,” she told Women’s Health. “I’ve always been a fan of workouts that make me sweat quickly. We live in a time where everyone wants things instantaneously. I’m no different. Give me results, I want them now. There are a lot of women like myself who would just say they don’t have the time, space or equipment to do it. Kettlebells? In your living room? No thanks. That’s why I’ve spent so long working on the MyBody by Myleene programme. It’s for normal women like you and me, who want to sweat."

7. She Strives to Be Strong

Myleene maintains that exercise has helped improve her strength and pain. “My back has been knackered since the age of 23, when I was in a go-karting accident. Then I had two babies. I learnt to live with the pain and used other muscles, which wasn’t right,” she told Women’s Health. “Modifying bodyweight exercises helped me - and I hope will be a really good example for other women who have back problems. Working out makes your injuries feel better. It’s not all or nothing. There are workout modifications you can do.“I need to feel strong—I’m up and down the stairs with my children all the time and I want to be around for them. I also want to show them that I’m physically able. I don’t want their memories of me to be that I’m limited by my bad back.”

8. She Likes Team Workotus

“It is intimidating for a woman who’s never worked out to walk into a sterile gym and see all of these flighty young 21-year-olds, who don’t have an ounce of fat on them. As you get older and your life, body and circumstance change, you have to adapt accordingly,” she told Women’s Health. “I’ve been to gyms; I’ve tried running machines. It’s not something I fell in love with. I prefer the social aspect of sport. Try it. Work out with your girlfriends or your boyfriend - see what a difference it can make to your motivation when you get your team together.”

Filipino star Sheena Halili is determined not to let preconceived notions about motherhood keep her out of sexy swimsuits. The TV host posted a beautiful snap of herself wearing a black two-piece on the beach, looking happy and healthy. “People have been talking about what kind of swimsuits moms should wear and why is that? There shouldn't be a ‘one size fits all’ when you're dressing as a mom. As long as you're comfortable in it--no matter how much skin you're showing (or not!) you should go on and wear it! 😘,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Halili 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 Scuba Dives

Halili is a big fan of scuba diving, and practises as much as she can. “In addition to being a good cardio workout, scuba diving is a great way to build muscle strength and endurance,” says Scuba.com. “Swimming, especially against a current, forces divers to use muscles in their legs, core, and arms. This effort helps to build lean muscle mass and promote muscular endurance. This makes scuba diving a great way to increase strength without putting too much stress on your joints. And don’t forget about those tanks! Carrying scuba tanks and other gear is another way to improve upper body strength. Additionally, lifting tanks activates muscles in your arms, back, and core, making diving a true full body workout!”

2. She Always Makes Space For ‘Alone Time’

Halili takes ‘me-time’ coffee breaks whenever she can. “As a psychologist, I know the research, and the research is clear: Alone time is essential for emotional/mental/ spiritual/social/physical health, and a key element of true happiness,” says Dr. Christina Hibbert. “By ‘alone time’ what I really mean is time away from your role as a mother—time to be YOU, to unwind, relax, rest, revive. This can include taking a nap, sleeping in, reading, hiking, going out with a friend, doing a project or activity you enjoy, or anything that helps you feel like the real you and builds your health and strength. Some need more or less alone time, but all will benefit from a few minutes each day, hours each week, and/or days away each year.”

3. She Loves to Swim

Halili is an avid swimmer and loves spending time in the water. “Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people,” says the CDC. “People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

4. She Uses a Flotation Pod

Halili loves using a flotation pod for relaxation and stress relief. “Healing our body makes us a better person, a better wife & a better mom! #gratitude 🧘 🏻‍♀,” she captioned an Instagram snap of herself using the device. “The flotation pod is a sensory deprivation chamber with water saturated with 360-540kgs of Epsom Salt (aka Magnesium sulfate) used to create buoyancy so you float effortlessly. Additionally, the water is heated to your body’s skin surface temperature, about 34°C. This treatment encourages the brain & body to rebalance itself without intervening external stressors. Floating triggers physiological relaxation, helps relieve physical stress like joint pains, and aches, reduces mental stress like anxiety, depression, lowers cortisol and blood pressure, aids in getting restful sleep, enhances creativity, and boosts overall disposition.”

5. She Loves Pilates

Halili is a big fan of Pilates, and continued practicing it throughout her pregnancy in 2020. “Oftentimes, people feel that their body has been compressed, tense, and tight beforehand but leave the studio feeling more loose and more aware of their body,” says Marina Kaydanova, founder of BK Pilates in New York City.

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

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.”

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

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.”

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."
