Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc is heating up the Maldives in her swimsuit. The Vietnamese actress shows off her incredible figure while vacationing in the tropics via her latest social media posts. “Can you guess where I am? Here you go,” she captioned one of them, revealing her location in another. “What's left to be in the Maldives paradise,” she wrote. How does the 32-year-old stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc 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 Golfs

Ninh loves to golf. Here she is on the golf course with a friend. There are many health benefits to golf, according to a comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. They include mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

2. She Pushes Herself

“I do have an ambition of my own, since without it, passion only can barely sustain one’s career in this field. Moreover, a steady and unvarying journey would be rather dull, while I’m the type who always seeks to fill the thrill,” Ninh told Nu Doanh Nhan. “With every milestone reached, I push myself to think harder and fight stronger, so that I might rise even higher and conquer more challenges.

3. She Prioritizes Sleep

When asked what she does in her free time, Ninh revealed that she prioritizes rest. “Sleep, sleep and sleep,” she told Nu Doanh Nhan. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

4. She Does Electro Muscle Stimulation

According to Dep, Ninh does EMS workouts. "After only 2-3 gym sessions, Ngoc and her personal trainer almost became enemies. The exercises took too much energy, causing Ngoc to feel scared and shied away in the following days. Until Ngoc tried out EMS - a technology-based training method, Ngoc was much more excited," the publication said about Electro-Muscle Stimulation, a technology that uses electrical pulses to stimulate all muscle groups at once. According to them, she usually practices 25 minutes each session, 2 sessions a week. “Compared to gym or yoga that only consumes 300-400 calories / 1 hour, EMS technology burns up to 1200 calories in 25 minutes, 3 times more effective,” they claim.

5. She Rides Bikes

Ninh also enjoys riding bikes. “Sunny afternoon, rainy on the street, auntie with 2 of my sisters on the road,” she captioned a post. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Indian star Nidhi Bhanushali loves nothing more than being outside, especially in the water. Bhanushali, 24, shared pictures of herself wearing an aquamarine and black bikini, playing around in a natural pond. “The last of our happy faces before an eardrum ruptured, a tongue got caught between the teeth and an eye turned black,” she jokingly captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bhanushali 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. Melon For a Snack

Melon is one of Bhanushali’s go-to snacks. “Melons are not only low in calories and fat, but they are also high in essential vitamins and minerals, and water content,” says the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “In fact, a fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew contains up to 90 percent water, making them some of the most thirst-quenching snacks around. And serving them is simple as can be.”

2. Love For Travel

Bhanushali says she loves going on road trips with her beloved dog. “Travel exposes you to different environments, which create stronger antibodies and boost your immune system significantly,” according to the Yale Tribune. “Antibodies are the little proteins that shield your immune system from deadly pathogens, and multiple research studies imply that being exposed to dirty or minor illnesses really keeps your body and gut more grounded.”

3. Surfing In the Sun

Bhanushali is an accomplished surfer. “Exercising outside can offer many benefits,” according to the National Library of Medicine. “It can help improve your mood, expose you to vitamin D from the sun, and increase your energy level. It also offers a varied landscape that you do not get indoors.”

4. Hiking In the Mountains

Bhanushali loves camping and hiking in the great outdoors. “Being in nature can boost your mood and improve mental health,” says the National Park Service. “Spending quality time in the great outdoors reduces stress, calms anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford University.”

5. The Importance of Me-Time

Bhanushali supports her mental health by taking time for herself. “I am a social person; yet I believe in being private,” she says. “I enjoy my personal space and I don’t like it when it’s intruded upon by anyone. Me-time is my favorite time.”

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Sharma shared a reel of herself swimming in a beautiful pool, wearing a bright pink swimsuit and sarong, with palms and blue skies in the background. “Poolside paradise 😍,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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. Fresh Lime Soda

Sharma’s go-to drink is fresh lime soda. “Limes are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients," says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. “Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content. They’re really good for us, but most of us aren’t going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do.”

2. Running Outside

Sharma loves running outside, especially at the beach. “There’s good evidence that spending time outside can reduce stress, depression levels, and anxiety,” says Josh Lawler, a UW environmental & forest sciences professor. “We suspect that one of the routes for the physical benefits is through [the] decreased stress and anxiety.”

3. She Chooses Happiness

Sharma says she chooses happiness in her personal life. “I don't date much but I have had rough patches in relationships. Ups and down are part of life and moving on is an art of life,” she says. “Break ups were there but that all made me so strong and I am a girl who looks at the broader aspect in life. So pain was there but feeling the pain and being sad is a choice.

So I chose happiness. It took time to heal but today I learned happiness is the most important thing in this world.”

4. Bathing Beauty

Sharma loves to take baths. “Taking a bath has great physical and mental health benefits,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “Soaking in a tub is something many people have access to but don’t take advantage of enough. But it can be beneficial for a lot of people.”

5. She Is an Artist

When it comes to her career, Sharma loves the benefits creativity brings to her life. “Artist is an artist, no matter where he/she performs," she says. "It’s always a pack of feelings and entertainment which we have to give to the audience. Films and music videos both tell a story. The only difference is that films are on a larger scale in every form, while music videos take less time but require the same level of consistency and hard work as an artist."

Jacqueline Tiên Nguyễn is reveling in the sea, sand, and skies of beautiful Tulum, Mexico. Nguyễn shared a picture of herself wearing a vintage-style swimsuit, posing in the bright sunshine. “It’s a bulb-by day by the beach today 💡 🌴,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nguyễn 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. Seafood

Nguyễn loves seafood, especially lobster, shrimp, clams, and sushi. “Shellfish are high-quality protein sources—just like land animals—meaning they have all the essential amino acids,” says Faye Dong, professor emerita of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois. “Moderation goes a long way.”

2. Fresh Salads

Nguyễn enjoys fresh salads made with red cabbage and pine nuts. "The salad bar is a veggie and fruit lover’s paradise. From mounds of crunchy delights to the sweet variety of fruits, you will never run out of options. While the salad bar is filled with what you would expect — toppings for your salad — it can still be tricky to navigate some of the less healthy options provided," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. Pasta

Nguyễn eats so much pasta, at one point she realized she was enjoying it three times a day while traveling. "One carbohydrate serving is about the size of a hockey puck. Half a cup of whole-grain cooked pasta equals one serving, or about 70 calories. If pasta isn't your thing, picture a slice of whole-grain bread instead," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Berries For Dessert

Nguyễn loves fresh fruit, especially strawberries and blueberries. "Vitamin C works to boost your white blood cell production, and it also reduces inflammation," says Megan Byrd, RD from The Oregon Dietitian, tells Eat This, Not That! "This allows your body's organ systems, including the immune system, to work more efficiently."

5. Lots of Walking

Nguyễn posts several social media reels of herself exploring exotic new locales on foot. "The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories," says the Mayo Clinic.

Ileana D’Cruz, star of Barfi!, Main Tera Hero, Rustom, and Raid is headed into fall but still acting like it’s summer. The actress just posed in a lavender bathing suit, looking amazing. “How I miss those loooong lazy breakfasts by this incredibly stunning pristine blue water 💙- also thankful for @dr.namratajadwani for taking some lovely pictures of me 😘😛,” she captioned it.

1. She Loves the Beach

“Gorgeous beach days and unending cocktails 🍸,” Ileana said once. “Being active on sand isn't just about soaking up some rays. When sand moves beneath your feet, it engages your ankles, arches, and calves, which can burn extra calories while you move,” says Cedars-Sinai. “Taking it slow, staying on wet sand, and wearing shoes can help keep you upright and enjoying a great workout in the ocean air this summer.”

2. She Had Body Dysmorphia

“I’ve always worried about how I looked. I’ve worried my hips are too wide, my thighs too wobbly, my waist not narrow enough, my tummy not flat enough, my boobs not big enough, my butt too big, my arms too jiggly, nose not straight enough, lips not full enough….. I’ve worried that I’m not tall enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not smart enough, not ‘perfect’ enough,” she once wrote. “Not realising I was never meant to be perfect. I was meant to be beautifully flawed.

Different.

Quirky.

Unique.

Every scar, every bump, every “flaw” just made me, me.

My own kind of beautiful.

That’s why I’ve stopped. Stopped trying to conform to the world’s ideals of what’s meant to be beautiful.

I’ve stopped trying so hard to fit in. Why should I?? When I was born to stand out.”

3. She Says “Take Care of Yourself”

Ileana once wrote: “Take care of yourself. Take care of what you choose to put into your system. The body you have is uniquely beautiful so nourish it - physically as well as mentally.

Lastly dress up, show up, not for anyone else. Just do it for you. It’s so worth it. Trust me. ♥️”

4. She Likes Dogs Over Humans

Ileana shared a photo of herself with a dog. “If you really think I’m ever gonna look at a human like this……Hahahahahahahahahhaha,” she captioned it. “#doggosoverhumans @orotheindie 🥹♥” “Owning a dog can help you live longer. A comprehensive review of studies published between 1950 and 2019 found that dog owners had a lower risk of death. Studies suggest that dog owners have lower blood pressure levels and improved responses to stress. Even just living with a dog makes a difference—people who had experienced previous coronary events had an even higher level of risk reduction for death. Research has concluded that the bond between humans and dogs reduces stress, which is a major cause of cardiovascular problems,” says the American Kennel Club.

5. She Enjoys Some Country Air

“Throwing it back to the time I was casually chilling in lovely picturesque English countryside, in animal print, black lace, and goth makeup 💀 😂,” she captioned a photo she shared recently. “Grill out on the patio. Or if the weather is cool, bundle up in warm clothes and sit around a fire pit. If you and your friends haven't been vaccinated, keep your gathering small, maintaining social distance from others. Plan activities that don't require close contact. You may even choose to have everyone bring their own food and drinks. Wash your hands when you arrive and leave the gathering,” says the Mayo Clinic.

One of Hewitt’s biggest skincare secrets? Keeping it moisturized. Hewitt shared her favorite moisturizer and lip balm with Good Housekeeping.

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."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

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.”

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.
