Nina Agdal, the Danish swimsuit model who appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue alongside Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge, is still one of the best in the business. She posted two selfies of herself lounging in a green bathing suit with her hair curled and flowing. Agdal captioned the post, “Cali sunshine.” How does she stay so fit? “Finding that inner voice is the biggest trick. It starts by letting go and not being so tough on ourselves,” she has said. Read on to see 5 ways Nina Agdal 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 Eats A Balanced Diet

Agdal spoke about her wellness routine at the Thursday Boot Co. NYFW Presentation in 2017. She revealed that she believes in eating a balanced diet and believes in eating food that she actually likes. ​​“I try to keep it a fine balance. I eat a lot of vegetables, obviously, like there’s no secret to it — what everyone tells you, eat your veggies, lean protein, fish mostly, but also be able to have a meal that you enjoy. Whether it’s a burger or pizza, whatever it is, and just work out regularly.”

2. She Works Out Because She Likes It

Agdal also spoke about her approach to fitness at the Thursday Boot Co. NYFW Presentation. She shared that she doesn’t work out to lose weight, but rather because she likes it. “I work out five to six days a week for an hour at least, and I do it because I feel better after. Not just because it’s supposed to be good for you, but I like it, I like the way I feel.”

3. She Remembers To Work Out While She’s Traveling

It can be difficult to work out while you are traveling or on vacation, but Agdal says that she makes sure to. When StyleCaster asked what her advice for working out on vacation was, Agdal answered, “Don’t consider it a vacation from the gym. You should always get your sweat in for an hour.” She tells W: “I think we have to all give ourselves a little bit of grace when we’re traveling. It’s really hard keeping up with any sort of workout schedule when you’re thrown off your routine and not in your normal environment. When I’m traveling, if I just get that 15 or 20 minutes in, (on the mat or on a towel or going for a jog outside to see where I am) it’s always extremely helpful for me mentally. The most important thing I always tell people is to create great playlists that make you want to move. I always tell people, ‘Don’t bother bringing [equipment] with you. You can always use water bottles, you can use towels, you can go outside and use a chair.’ But just make sure you have your playlist ready.”

4. She Loves Yoga

Agdal loves to practice yoga to stay in shape. And there is a specific type of yoga class that she likes to take. "I do a bunch of Y7 yoga, which is amazing because it’s dark and nobody’s judging you," she told Health. Yoga “helps with balance and strength and flexibility, which really, all of us need,” says mind and body instructor Colleen Pelkey to the Mayo Clinic. “It can reduce the inflammation in our bodies. It helps with digestion. It just gets everything moving.” Says the Clinic: “Through poses and meditation, yoga helps you focus on your body, breathing and relaxing. So you can tune out the demands of our busy world, and find balance.” “Anybody can benefit from yoga.”

5. She Launched Her Own App

“I wanted to create The Agdal Method to start spreading the word that it’s not about how long you spend in the gym, going to a workout for 60 minutes and torturing yourself, or only drinking green juices and eating lettuce,” she said of her own app, which launched two years ago, to W. And here’s her best wellness advice: “The first thing that comes to my mind is: don’t be so hard on yourself. I think especially with women, we’re just so tough on ourselves in terms of if we eat a piece of cake, then the next day, we have to torture ourselves in the gym, or if we go to the gym and don’t give it 150 percent then it’s not good enough. That mentality is what will almost make your body reject what you’re doing.”

Agdal tells HollywoodLife that she also likes to take fitness classes. “I love Solidcore for a good core class. It will really make your stomach burn. SLT’s great for leaning out your legs. Pure Barre is great for leaning out your arms. But most of the stuff that I do is my own workouts.”

Agdal is a big fan of running on the treadmill. “I used to hate cardio,” she admits to HollywoodLife. “I used to hate running, and even now, I just got back from a vacation, and I know the first thing I’m going to do is to walk on an incline on a treadmill. I think it’s the best way to build endurance and to just get back into it and get motivated.”

Agdal also talked about her diet in her HollywoodLife interview. She says that while she doesn’t intermittently fast, she doesn’t eat until later in the day. “I actually don’t eat breakfast,” she revealed. “I prefer to have a juice or a smoothie in the morning. I’m a big believer in fasting, so I don’t eat anything until lunch, which is usually around 2:00 P.M. or 3:00 P.M. For that, I will have some sort of protein, whether it’s eggs or fish, mixed with vegetables.”

5. She Focuses On Living Healthily

Agdal tells W Magazine that she isn’t focused on losing weight. She says that she aims to live healthily, and doesn’t let herself be brought down by pressures from society. “The whole thing of the ‘hot girl summer,’ or ‘summer body,’ or all of these terms, can be extremely triggering to a lot of us. They put pressure on us to get in shape for the season coming up, and that’s extremely hard on our mental health and our self-esteem. I really believe in finding something that can be a lifestyle and a healthy habit that makes you happy.”

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.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

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

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. 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.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

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."

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
