Nur Sajat in Bathing Suit Says "Morning"

It’s winter in Australia, but activist and influencer Nur Sajat isn’t letting cold weather stop her from wearing her favorite bathing suits. The Sydney-based Malaysian model shared a picture of herself posing in front of a mirror in her home, wearing an orange bathing suit. A very down-to-earth-touch was the basket of laundry in the background (hey, talk about keeping it real). “Morning🇦🇺☕️,” she captioned the post. “Gorgeous!” commented a fan. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sajat stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Loves to Dance

Sajat enjoys dancing, which can be a fun way to do aerobic and cardio workouts. Research shows regular dance sessions can also benefit mental health. “Dancing also has a range of mental health and wellbeing benefits. It can help you to engage with your emotions and connect with other people,” says Laura McKay, senior physiotherapist at Bupa UK. “Some research suggests that regular dancing can improve your quality of life and help you feel less stressed.”

2. Regular Facials

Sajat enjoys regular facials as part of her wellness and self-care routine. Self-care is known to have many mental health benefits, experts say. “A professional-grade facial helps maintain the skin's natural elasticity through refining the texture of the skin,” says lead aesthetician Lisa Lincoln. “Facials also contribute to cellular regeneration which helps our skin prevent premature aging.”

3. Non-Alcoholic Wine

Sajat likes the occasional glass of non-alcoholic wine, which is a great way to get antioxidants without the downsides. "Some research studies suggest that red and purple grape juices may provide some of the same heart benefits of red wine,” says Mayo Clinic dietician Katherine Zeratsky, RD. “Including reducing the risk of blood clots, reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, preventing damage to blood vessels in your heart and helping maintain a healthy blood pressure.”

4. Treadmill Sessions

Sajat loves using the treadmill for cardio. “There are many benefits to adding treadmill training into your exercise routine and the convenience of the machine makes it a useful tool in commercial and home gyms,” says registered physiotherapist Sam Preston. “It’s important to vary the style of your training, as there are different adaptations and responses to each stimulus you apply to the body.”

5. Inspiring Others

Sajat is proud of her journey as a businesswoman. "When I reached Australia, I felt peace," she says. "And even though I had to start from zero, I'm actually blossoming when it comes to my career as a businesswoman… It's kind of sad, but at the same time it's empowering. I want to prove to the trans community that there's hope. My achievement shows everybody, not just LGBT people, that there’s always a second chance in life."

Indonesian star Jessica Iskandar is enjoying the sand and sea in Bali, Indonesia. Iskandar, 35, shared pictures of the day, including beach snaps of her soaking up the sun in a bronze one-piece swimsuit. “Dream come true,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit?

1. No Restrictions After Babies

Iskandar was careful not to restrict her diet after having children, instead focusing on maintaining her breast milk. "I eat all the time so that I have lots of breast milk,” she says. “One meal at lunch can be 3 portions. After a year and a half, your appetite has decreased, it's back to normal. It's like just one portion of lunch.”

2. Sensible Weight Loss

Iskandar waited till at least a year after giving birth to kickstart her workout routine and focus on a healthy diet. "I started watching my food, started exercising every day,” she says. “Now the weight is starting to decrease.”

3. She Loves Yoga

Iskandar loves doing yoga, which is good for both mind and body. "Doing yoga makes my body healthy, especially since I've been busy at work," she says. "Health is a long-term investment. I can think more healthily after doing yoga."

4. Exercise Happiness

Iskandar loves the energy regular workouts give her. “Exercise releases endorphins,” she says. “After exercise, I feel more enthusiastic and don't get sick easily. More cheerful, more full power through the day. I drink lots of water, eat regularly, get enough sleep, and eat healthy food."

5. Healthy In Bali

While many people consider Bali a magical vacation spot, for Iskandar it’s home. "First, because I have fallen in love living in Bali, I feel happier there, healthier," she says. "Yeah, who doesn't like living in Bali, Bali is a tourist city, if people go there for holidays, if I live there, I'm really happy.”

1. Training Every Day

Bomba makes a point of getting exercise every day. “I train every day. On Tuesdays we go to the swimming pool with [daughter] Tosia, on Wednesdays we go to the dance, on Thursdays we go to the playground, etc,” she says. “I exercise every day.”

2. Working Out First Thing

Bomba likes to get her workout out of the way first thing in the morning. “Morning workouts help reduce the possibility for obstacles to present themselves,” says Jasmin Theard, ACSM HFS, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “There is also less opportunity to make excuses. When you get up and exercise, you establish a healthier mindset, which makes you more mindful of what you eat during the day."

3. She’s Done the Keto Diet

Bomba says following a ketogenic diet helped her lose weight. “When I said I was on a ketogenic diet, I got a [lot of] buzz,” she says. “However, it serves me well, I don't have stomach problems, I fit into such a nice dress and I feel good.”

4. Skiing Trips

Bomba loves skiing with her family. “We never went skiing as a child even though I always wanted to,” she captioned an Instagram post. “My parents just didn't like it. Most of my friends from school usually spent their holidays skiing. Today I am a mom and tears of emotion flowed down my cheek when Tosia (3 years old) put on skis for the first time and went down the slope.”

5. Moving Throughout the Day

Even when Bomba is not actively training at the gym, she makes a point to move every day. “I just try to stick to my diet and do it intensively,” she says. “I use every possible opportunity to move. I give Tosia a bicycle and then I run after her. I believe that any move is better than none. So if I get a chance to practice with Mel B in front of the TV, I do it.”

Bollywood actress Aamna Sharif is more than comfortable in front of the camera, judging by her recent social media updates. Sharif posted pictures of herself looking beautiful in a bright lime green swimsuit as she posed in the pool, much to the admiration of her fans. “It's a good kind of madness 💚,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharif 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 Never Skips Breakfast

Sharif starts the day with “A glass of water. I follow it with a glass of vegetable juice,” she says. “Breakfast is either fruits or cornflakes or an egg-white omelet. I cannot function without a proper breakfast.” "So what are some healthy breakfast choices? Here are some easy options to fuel you for your busy day:

• plain yogurt, fruit, and nuts
• oatmeal, fruit, nuts
• whole wheat or rye toast with nut butter
• black beans and tortilla (corn or whole wheat)," says Harvard Health.

2. She Loves Yoga

Sharif genuinely enjoys working out and staying active. “I am a fitness freak and regularly practice yoga,” she says. “It gives me a peaceful feeling and it is good for the body too. I believe in eating healthy. I don't diet. I love trying new cuisines. At the same time I am a fitness freak. I have to hit the gym and do a lot of cardio.”

3. Body Oil

Sharif uses body oil to keep her skin healthy and hydrated. “During winter, our skin becomes dry and itchy due to excessive loss of moisture,” says dermatologist Dr. Nivedita Dadu. “Oils have been used since ancient times in skincare and are not just a great pick for massages but also for moisturizing, tightening the skin and reducing stretch marks.”

4. Turmeric Face Mask

Sharif swears by home made turmeric face masks for beautiful, glowing skin. “It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties that show promising benefits in treating acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and even pigmentation when either ingested and/or applied topically,” says senior chemist Sabina Wizemann.

5. Early Dinner

Sharif prefers to have dinner well before it’s time for bed. “I try and eat as early as possible as I believe that it's important that the food gets digested well before sleeping,” she says. “The benefit of an early dinner has to do with the fact that as the day winds down, the body needs less food for energy and should be entering a fasting state,” says Rachel Swanson, MS, LDN. “Capping your intake more than two hours before bed allows for an extended overnight fasting window to take place—the essential downtime your body needs to facilitate detoxification and cellular repair.”

Indian actress Tara Sutaria is channeling her inner Ariel with a unique choice of swimsuit, and sharing the sartorial choice with fans. Sutaria, 27, posted a picture of herself posing at the beach, wearing a bikini embroidered with seashells. “Watches The Little Mermaid once,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sutaria 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. Pilates and Dance

Sutaria loves dancing or working out first thing in the morning. “I don’t go to the gym,” she says. “I dance, and, sometimes, I like to do Pilates. You really don’t need any experience or equipment to exercise with me from home and to start feeling so much better physically and mentally.”

2. Spicy Eggs For Breakfast

Sutaria enjoys egg-based dishes for breakfast. “I’m not a huge breakfast eater, I’m more of a tea person,” she says. “When I do eat breakfast it’s because I’m on set and I need energy for the whole day. It could be an omelet or a fried egg with lots of chillies on buttery cheesy toast.”

3. Meat For Lunch

Sutaria likes to mix it up when it comes to her lunches, but usually enjoys something meat-based in the middle of the day. “For lunch, every day is different,” she says. “Today I had biryani for lunch and I tried making some mutton for dinner. My last meal, I try to do that as early as possible, around 8.30pm I think.”

4. No Dieting

Sutaria bucks the Bollywood trend of dieting or restricting food groups. “I don’t really have a diet,” she says. “I think most people in our industry stick to a certain plan and only cheat on Sundays. I would love to know how these people are doing it because I don’t know how.”

5. Tea All Day

Sutaria is not a fan of protein shakes or green juices—instead, she drinks tea throughout the day for health and energy. Tea is shown to have many protective health benefits. "Tea consumption, especially green tea, may not be the magic bullet, but it can be incorporated in an overall healthy diet with whole grains, fish, fruits and vegetables, and less red and processed meat," says Qi Sun, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.
