How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ferreira 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. Jump Rope

Ferreira warms up before workouts with cardio such as jumping rope. Jump rope is an excellent choice of aerobic exercise—all you need is a jump rope and some space. “Try getting in a 30-minute workout five or more days a week that raises your heart rate for the duration of the activity,” says Erik Van Iterson, PhD, MS. “Or try three, 10-minute workouts, five or more days a week.”

2. Ankle Weights

Ferreira uses ankle weights to give her workouts an extra challenge. Physical therapist Terry Downey says ankle weights are not recommended for walking or aerobics, but can be beneficial for targeted exercises. "The weight places a greater load on the muscle group being targeted. The muscles have to work harder to move this increased load against gravity, and in turn this will increase strength," Downey says.

3. Deadlifts

Ferreira incorporates deadlifts into her workout regimen. "Weight training is the best way to keep the muscle mass you have and even increase muscle mass you may have lost with aging," says Shawn Pedicini, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. Weight training should be done at least twice a week for optimum results. "Two days of full-body training can produce measurable changes in muscle strength," Pedicini says.

4. Squats and Lunges

Ferreira works her lower body with plenty of squats and lunges. “Lunges are a great way to enhance strength and stability in your legs since you are forced to balance all of your body weight on one leg for a short period of time,” according to Duke University. “Be sure not to let your knee come over your toes while lunging and keep your torso erect while looking ahead.”

5. Tennis For Fun

Ferreira says tennis is her favorite hobby. “If you haven't lobbed a tennis ball over a net since high school, you might want to pick up a racket again,” says Harvard Health. “A recent study suggests that people who play racket sports regularly may slash their odds of dying from a heart attack or stroke.”

3. She Stays Positive

Bartel tells House of Wellness that she makes sure to stay positive, even when things get difficult for her. “Just because something bad happens, you shouldn’t become pessimistic about it. I’m not wired like that. Maybe it’s the breathing I do?”

Love Island star Olivia Hawkins is modeling swimwear and enjoying the sun in Ibiza, Spain, but this time, it’s for fun rather than work. Hawkins shared pictures of herself posing in a variety of swimsuits, including a hot-pink bathing suit plus a white swimsuit with a green coverup on top, flashing the peace sign. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hawkins 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 a Latte

Hawkins’ go-to coffee drink is a hazelnut latte. “Since coffee is naturally caffeinated, it can be used to give you an extra boost of energy before you work out,” according to Penn Medicine. “Coffee can also boost your mood and reduce the amount of pain you feel during or after a workout, therefore allowing you to exercise more frequently and for longer periods of time.”

2. Lots of Swimming

Hawkins frequently travels to hot beach locations, which means lots of pool and ocean swimming. “Although swimming can be great for the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles, it doesn't do much for the bones,” says Harvard Health. “That's why swimmers need to supplement their aquatic training with some weight-bearing exercise, like strength training, walking, dancing, stair climbing, or gardening.”

3. Work That Makes Her Happy

Hawkins wants to go back to work she is passionate about, which is a great way to support mental health and happiness. “Before I went in I was on my acting journey,” she says. “I trained in musical theater. One day I'd like to go back into musical theater and just continue with my acting. I was always going to come out and go straight back to what I was before. I did Love Island but in terms of reality. For now I just want to focus on my passion and what I've been doing since I was a child.”

4. Rosé All Day

olivia-hawkins-4Olivia Hawkins/Instagram

Hawkins enjoys drinking rosé wine, which should be consumed strictly in moderation. “Health care providers don't recommend that you start drinking alcohol for heart benefits, especially if you have a family history of alcohol use disorder,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Too much alcohol can have many harmful effects on the body. But if you already enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal, drinking it in moderation may improve your heart health.”

5. Real Emotions

olivia-hawkins-1Olivia Hawkins/Instagram

Hawkins was accused of “toxic femininity” during her time on Love Island, but says it’s not a true representation of her character. “I had many times when I was in tears that wasn’t shown on TV,” she says. “There were real emotions. Maybe it was a case of big personalities clashing, it was so intense and arguments are inevitable when we were in a confined space together 24 hours a day. But it was definitely not a case of toxic femininity. When people meet me they will see the real me, I’m definitely not a villain. Now I’m out of the villa I’m looking forward to people seeing my fun side and my big heart. I’m a genuinely lovely person.”

Candice Swanepoel is 33 and thriving. The South African model posted a gorgeous series of pictures of herself swimming underwater in a black one-piece bathing suit, captioning the shots “..and with libra season comes an ocean of emotion 🌊 ⚖️.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Swanepoel 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. Beauty Smoothies For Breakfast

Breakfast for Swanepoel is usually eggs and bacon or a delicious smoothie. “My breakfast varies depending on my mood. I do a nice beauty smoothie,” she tells The Cut. It contains coconut oil, flaxseed oil, banana, protein, some kind of antioxidant fruit like blueberries or strawberries, or some nut butter. I discovered it from doing research; I like to be on beauty blogs. I’ve always loved nutrition and because I’ve worked out for so many years, I’ve figured out what’s best for my body and keeping my energy up. It’s evolved from that.”

2. She Loves Yoga

Swanepoel doesn’t see exercise as a burden—she believes it’s important to find a workout you love. “I really enjoy working out so, to relax, I’ll do a yoga or Pilates class,” she says. “What I love about yoga is that it helps both your mental and physical well-being. I also like unwinding by taking my dogs for a walk. When I can, I love to be surrounded by nature or swimming in the ocean.”

3. Keeping a Healthy Balance

Swanepoel knows the importance of balance in life. “To me, wellness is having a balanced lifestyle between personal and work,” she says. “It’s being happy and healthy. I don’t like restrict myself from certain foods that I want, or kill myself at the gym. It’s really what’s comfortable for my body at the time and what’s best at that moment.”

4. She Loves To Swim

Swanepoel is an early bird, who loves the beach and swimming. “An ideal day would be to wake up quite early, make a nice breakfast, and take my time in the morning before taking my dogs for a walk, going to the beach, or having a quick swim,” she says. “I also love being at home, decorating, or FaceTiming with my family.”

5. She Loves Her Post-Baby Body

Swanepoel has two children—Anaca, 5, and Ariel, 4, and revels in her post-baby body. “You take on a different shape, a more womanly shape,” she says. “I’m loving it. I’ve had such an amazing experience with my pregnancy and afterwards. It’s quite a journey: the hormones, watching your body grow that way, giving yourself time to go back to normal. I think women have to stop putting so much pressure on having to be perfect and back in shape three weeks after. It's just not realistic. For me, it was about focusing on my son and it all just fell into place after that.”

Nabilla told Gulf News that doing makeup is “like therapy” for her,”a way to gain self-confidence, to express who I am,” she said. “Beauty is a bit like the school of life; we experiment, we learn, we make mistakes, we start over, we create a personality, then we assert ourselves, and finally find ourselves.

4. She Paddle Boards

Nabilla, who spends a lot of time at the beach, loves paddleboarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

5. She Takes Baths

Nabilla loves soaking in hot water, in a hot tub or bath. Here she is taking a bath with her baby. How can baths do your body and mind good?

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

5 Simple Fitness Habits To Stay Toned Like Mariana Morais

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
