1. Exercise

If you want to get a body like Nikki’s you are going to have to sweat for it. She revealed in an interview several years back, 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. Eat Less

Nikki maintains that eating less junk does your body good. "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. Fuel Up with Carbs

Nikki fuels up with carbs. For breakfast she has “white toast and butter, hot cross buns or cereal,” followed by “prawn buttie or pasta with tuna or a baked potato,” for lunch. For dinner she might have a Caesar salad or spaghetti bolognese. "My favorite food, apart from biscuits, is my mum's Sunday roast - it's the best ever,” she confessed.

4. Take a Hike

Nikki also loves going for hikes. “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. Box and Weight Train

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.”

6. Find a Workout Buddy

Nikki also has a workout buddy. “Couples that train together, remain together,” she captioned a recent post of herself exercising with her love, Anthony Quinny.

7. Walk It Out

Another great way to stay in shape, per Nikki? Going for walks. “Long walks on windy days,” she captioned a post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace

Despite being a model, Mir has been subjected to a lot of criticism on social media. Mir has had to deal with comments on her body. However, she isn’t afraid to call these people out, and did so in the caption of her recent Instagram post. “Under my last reel, a lot of you paid a lot of attention especially to a body part: my butt. For everyone in the comments asking where he is, here he is. And for those who asked what's wrong with him, what kind of question is this? 🤣 We’re talking body positivity, body acceptance, feeling good in your own body, being allowed to be yourself, more Instagram reality, and more. At the same time, my body will be in hundreds of comments (also from women, female empowerment? ) evaluated, unjustly criticized and unfortunately also insulted. ‘Something wrong with your ass!’, I'd rather look at myself in the mirror, that wouldn't be nice - how can something be right about an ass or not? Who defines this? Can I read this up somewhere?”

2. She’s All About Self-Love

She also talked about this in the caption of her recent Instagram post. “Thankfully yes beauty is in the eye of beholder and I felt very comfortable in my skin especially this evening the video was taken and yes my butt is small but I'm absolutely pleased with myself and feel poodle good 😁 Shouldn't it be our goal?” Mir also encouraged others to have this same attitude. “For those who don’t feel comfortable in their own skin, do something about it. But please don’t criticize others for things that make them feel good about yourself.”

3. She Swims

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
