It’s smooth sailing for Nikki Sanderson! The longtime Hollyoaks star shows off her famous figure during a boating expedition on social media this week, sending an inspiring message to her fans. “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul,” she captioned the image, which perfectly showed off her toned figure. How does the actress keep herself fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nikki Sanderson 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

In an interview several years back, Sanderson revealed that adding exercise to her life was a major game changer in getting into shape. “I had to change the amount I ate but mainly I started moving!" she said. "I didn't starve myself. I started going to the gym doing running, light weights and swimming as well as dancing, which I love.”

2. She Eats in Moderation

Per Sanderson, eating less – not totally revamping your diet – is the key to staying in shape. "As far as my change in diet went, it was really simple. I just cut down on bad stuff - I didn't cut anything out,” she said. "I eat all the same foods, just less of them.” She later added, "I think as long as you eat within reason and exercise you'll be healthier. Just don't go out and buy supersize takeaways - try getting something a bit smaller."

3. This Is What She Eats in a Day

Royal Television Society Programme Awards 2022 - ArrivalsJoseph Okpako/WireImage

Nikki eats a lot of carbs. "Now I have white toast and butter, hot cross buns or cereal for breakfast. For lunch I'll have maybe a prawn buttie or pasta with tuna or a baked potato. And for dinner, although I'm not a big fan of salad, Danny makes the best Caesar salad you've tasted in your life. He also made spaghetti bolognese for me,” she said. "My favorite food, apart from biscuits, is my mum's Sunday roast - it's the best ever.”

4. She Hikes

Nikki is an avid adventurer. She goes on lots of hikes, sharing images of her expeditions on her Instagram account. “It’s been a minute.I know I’ve been pretty absent from the grid for a couple of months. I’ve been having fun, spending time with family and friends… and of course going on adventures ✨ So here is me, on one of my said adventures,” she captioned this photo from her hike.

5. She Boxes and Weight Trains

Nikki works out with a personal trainer. Her workout routine involves a lot of strength and weight training and even fighting. “Boxing and Body Conditioning,” she captioned this video. “Another awesome workout with my trainer.” "It is important to perform a number of mobility exercises for a proper dynamic warm-up before attempting a high-intensity training program. There are two ways to do a complex workout: Complete all complex sets of one exercise before moving on to the next, or combine the exercises into a circuit. Circuit training allows you to reduce the rest time between complex sets, which increases the challenge of the workout," says ACE Fitness.

Oriana Sabatini is a successful model and singer. She also is a strong presence on Instagram. Sabatini just shared a stunning new photo to her story. In it, she spent time at the beach, as the sun went down. She wore a black and white patterned swimsuit and sunglasses, showing off her figure. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Oriana Sabatini 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’s Determined

MTV MIAW 2022Hector Vivas/Getty Images

Sabatini opened up about her career in an interview with Teleshow. She says that she has a lot of determination, and has learned from her past experiences. “At first, everything that happened with my music was really nice. Later on, it became a bit difficult for me: to have perseverance, to continue being in the studio. It was hard for me to find the contacts to have that follow-up that all artists have nowadays. Everything happens for a reason and if this moment in my career didn't happen before, it's because it didn't have to happen. And I'm really glad that it happened to me now, because I feel more prepared.”

2. She Makes Time For Personal Relationships

Sabatini tells Teleshow that she makes time for herself and her personal relationships. “Once a person told me that to be number one, you have to be alone,” she says. “Be you and you, and nothing else. A bit of the taboo that if you do well at work, you can't do well in love. It is something that I was very afraid of because many people in the industry have made me think that to be successful you have to leave everything and not have a personal life. But at some point in your life work ends, what do you have left after? For me the most important thing in life is my personal relationships and then comes work.”

3. She’s Working On Herself

Moschino - Front Row - Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2022/2023Daniele Venturelli/WireImage

Sabatini opened up about her journey with self-improvement to Teleshow. She says that she is focusing on therapy and trying new methods. “We all have pain. One out there believes that she is working on it, but when you work on it on a spiritual level, little things are unlocked that, speaking, are not unlocked. That's why I like to try therapies.”

4. She Goes To The Beach

Sabatini loves to go to the beach, as her last Instagram story post proves. She also shares a lot of photos on her page of herself by the water. Sabatini shared these photos of herself sitting on a board. She also posted this photo of her and a friend about to go swimming. Sabatini captioned it, “Tamo ready.”

5. She Dances

Being a singer, Sabatini has to learn choreography. She shares a lot of videos on Instagram of herself in the studio or a class. She posted this video of herself doing a combination with two other performers. Sabatini captioned it, “With two talented @johannvera and @kevinroldankr.”

5. She Doesn’t Have Plans

Jill Zarin, the Real Housewives star, is having fun in a swimsuit in Boca Raton, before the holiday of Passover. “Work hard play hard. I needed a few hours to listen to the ocean before I cook for 2 days for both holiday nights and pack up the last 5 years in a few days. I am excited for the next chapter but always get sad when I close one. I also tend to lose things or they disappear. Either way I never come out whole! Last move it was 2 important pieces of art, jewelry and a few bags. All replaceable but not the stories that go with them. I’m so happy Ally is here too! I’m one lucky mama. 💕” How does she stay so fit?

1. This is Her Self-Care Routine

“I believe you should upkeep your eyebrows, nails, and hair because all of those things are important. That’s self-care, keeping yourself looking good, not just for your husband, but for yourself. I never used to take baths, but it has become a part of my routine to take time out for a bath, turn off the phone, and turn off the lights. While doing so, I will light my manifestation candle. I also make sure I take my OmegaXL every day because if I don’t take care of my body, I don’t feel good,” she told New You.

2. This is What Motivates Her

“I would say, 20 years ago, money motivated me, earning that commission check. However, everyone is motivated differently. Some people are motivated with a pat on the back, and I think that’s personally what I like. I like to get that recognition from my family or my partner. I always like to be right, so I love it when someone says, I’m right. Although money used to motivate me, I don’t think that motivates me as much as personal satisfaction and helping others,” she told New You.

3. She Sometimes Wears Bodysuits

"I am a big bodysuit lover," Zarin says to Shape, "and it is harder and harder to find a good one. Those that I've bought in the past had snaps that were nearly impossible to open and close—you feel trapped! Imagine if you have to take it off really fast?"

4. This is Her Secret to Happiness

“My secret to happiness is not being in pain physically or emotionally, and I work hard at that emotionally, making sure that my life is in order. Happiness is also that my family is healthy, and I’m very blessed that my parents are still alive and well. Those are the things that make me happy as well as laughing,” she told New You.

5. She Eats Sometimes to Gain Weight

Jill sometimes gets too thin and bulks up with yummy food. She told Bravo she went to Arthur Avenue for Italian food. "While I was there, I picked up the most delicious fresh mozzarella, basil, unbelievable beautiful tomatoes, and I'm going to use the Cuisinart panini-maker, which is already heating up, on the most delicious ciabatta bread you have ever seen in your entire life. Look at this bread, see it?" It did indeed look yummy!

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a very successful actress. She is known for roles on TV shows like Party of Five, Ghost Whisperer, The Client List, and Criminal Minds.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

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

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

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.

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.
