She captioned the post, “After all… It’s about time - I have been so excited to share this with you - I’m horrible at keeping a secret - Time went so slowly… But today after a long year - I can tell you.

1. She Walks

Anderson opened up about her fitness routine to People, and it was pretty surprising. "I don’t work out much,” she reveals. Anderson says that she instead opts for low-impact exercises like walking. “I walk on the beach,” she says. “And I love the feeling after a long walk or a walk through a museum.” Harvard Health states that walking has a lot of benefits. “Harvard researchers looked at 32 obesity-promoting genes in over 12,000 people to determine how much these genes actually contribute to body weight. They then discovered that, among the study participants who walked briskly for about an hour a day, the effects of those genes were cut in half.”

2. She Works On Her Flexibility

Anderson tells People that she prioritizes having flexibility. She shared some of her favorite ways to do so in the interview. “I’ve always stretched and moved my body with resistance,” she says. “I like dancing — I was taking ballet in Paris — but I’m double jointed and need to keep my strength. I’m more flexible than strong."

3. She Intermittent Fasts

Prior to making her debut in Chicago, Anderson did an interview with Vogue. In it, she opened up about her wellness and diet. Anderson is a fan of intermittent fasting. "I only eat between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m,” she says. “It just makes me feel so great and energized.” John Hopkins Medicine states, “Studies discovered that intermittent fasting boosts working memory in animals and verbal memory in adult humans.”

4. She Takes Vitamins

In addition to eating healthy, Anderson also likes to take supplements. She tells Vogue that she sought help from a doctor to give her the right ones. "I've got a great doctor in L.A. who has given me this great vitamin regimen. I'm taking them, and eating healthy as I'm vegan." Vitamins are a great and easy way of getting more nutrients into your diet.

5. She’s Motivated

Anderson has a lot of motivation. She shared how she stayed motivated during Chicago to Vogue. “I have this funny saying I've been doing lately where when I'm exhausted and my feet feel like they're going to break, I just think, 'What would Serena Williams do right now?' She wouldn't quit! I say, 'What do champions do? Get back out there, stop complaining,' to myself. I feel really driven and it's funny.”

Lily James has played some iconic roles in her career, from Cinderella to Mamma Mia’s Donna Sheridan.

What did it take to become Pamela Anderson? "A 3:30am alarm and coffee! Then three hours with amazing makeup artists and the biggest, blondest wig," she told TV Insider. "Sadly, Pam wasn’t involved in the show, but I studied as much as I possibly could. My only focus was to do her justice. I watched a lot of Baywatch. She is hilarious and so witty — always one step ahead…which [are two of] many reasons I think she is so iconic."

2. She Works Out First Thing In The Morning

James tells Shape that she works out in the mornings, and she thinks that this helps keep her living a healthy lifestyle. “I have found that starting my day with exercise is the key. When I work out regularly, I immediately feel the benefits. It’s exciting to be empowered by that, and it turns into a domino effect. Naturally, I start eating better and stop drinking so much wine. Then I feel more energized in the morning to work out again.”

3. She Bikes

James says to Shape that she loves to bike through her neighborhood. “Recently, I got my bike back, and that’s been such a gift. It’s my bit of freedom to ride without having any direction stuck in my mind. It helps me stop overthinking and just connect myself to the present.”

4. She Loves To Dance

James showed off her dance moves in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, and she also revealed that she did a lot of dancing in quarantine. “In lockdown, I had to make exercising fun; otherwise I would lose interest,” James told Shape. I switched up my normal yoga and Pilates for daily dance classes. Early on, I learned this fun dance routine and couldn’t stop doing it. The next day, my neighbour called saying, ‘Oh my God, Lily, you played that song for three and a half hours.’”

5. She Believes In Moderation

James tells Shape that while she tries to eat healthy, especially during lockdown, she also doesn’t ignore her cravings. James says that she believes in moderation. “I had to remind myself that it’s OK to indulge sometimes. I don’t try to deprive myself of stuff. If I want to order fast food, I let myself eat what I want to eat. Now I’m striving for a constant balance between the two.”

1. She Calls Out Double Standards

Porizkova is known for being very outspoken on Instagram. She talked about double standards in society in this post. She wrote, “Athletes versus models. Both start their careers very young. Both make large amounts of money based on their physicality - in direct proportion to the demand - for their service. Both need to keep themselves in prime physical shape. Both jobs are physically and sometimes emotionally painful. Both careers end when most others just come into their best. Both are a celebration (or objectification) of the human body. Both demand sacrifices in personal lives. Both are used for your entertainment and to sell you products. One highlights mostly men, the other mostly women. And as they start aging out of their careers, if they refuse to give up quite yet - one gets applauded and is seen as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic.”

2. She Goes To The Beach

Porizkova loves to spend time outside. One place she loves to go is the beach. She posted this photo of herself in Costa Rica on Instagram. She captioned it, “It’s been a wonderful week in Costa Rica, filled with sun, jungle, ocean, pool, long dinners, lots of books read, and of course, the antics of George the monkey.”

3. She Calls Out Haters

Porizkova is not afraid to call out social media haters. She did so in this Instagram post.“A woman of 57 is ‘too old’ to pose in a bikini - no matter what she looks like. Because ‘Old’ is ‘Ugly.’ I get comments like these every time I post a photo of my body. This is the ageist shaming that sets my teeth on edge. Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who believe prettiness equals beauty do not understand beauty.”

4. She Embraces Age

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova says that she is embracing her age. “To perceive beauty you have to be able to SEE. This is why I believe we get more beautiful with age. We have earned our beauty, we understand what it is, and we can see it so much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Only shortsighted and ignorant.”

5. She Intermittent Fasts

Porizkova says that she likes to intermittently fast as a way to stay in shape. She explained her process on Instagram. “You don’t eat for 16 hours and then you eat for eight,” Porizkova said. “I generally take it as I eat whatever I want for eight hours because I like food, but I also kind of tend to like more healthy food.”

Pampita also posted these highlights from a trip to Ibiza, including shots of herself in the pool. She also posted this photo of herself in a hotel pool in Madrid.

2. She’s Disciplined

Pampita has a strong work ethic. She tells Teleshow that this attitude was developed when she was young. “I studied ballet all my childhood. That demanding discipline to which you had to dedicate 100% of your time. I left school and went to rehearse, from Monday to Saturday. It was very difficult, but it taught me, it gave me bases for the rest of my life.”

3. She Stuck To Her Goals

Pampita tells Teleshow that one of the reasons she has so much success is her determination. “I am very aware of everything. Also the luck I had, because there is always a magic wand that gives you that first step. Then you have to work hard and be professional, becauseI had many beautiful and talented companions, but they fell by the wayside. Perhaps I was clearer about the final goal.”

4. She Embraces Herself

Pampita might be a model, but she always doesn’t feel pressure to look perfect. She tells Teleshow that she embraces who she is at any phase. “I don't feel pressure to be something else. Because today I'm breastfeeding, I'm a mom, I'm at that stage.”

5. She’s Open

Pampita is open to whatever life throws at her. She says to Teleshow that this helped her find her husband. “I always had the door open,” she says. “There are people who perhaps keep it closed and complain because they can't find anyone. You have to have your heart prepared to receive too.”

1. This is How She Lost the Weight

“So I've recently lost abit of weight- it's not quite the overnight miracle everyone on social media seems to think it is- it's been happening gradually over the last year through an amalgamation of things & much to everyone's disappointment I'm sure- there's no great big secret to how I did it. I got my contraceptive out my arm after 15years which had a huge impact on my body & also I got the worlds most energetic Pup- who we love DEARLY but needs to be walked between 2-3 hours daily 😂 So there you have it, I'm sorry I can't flog you a transformative pill or workout but you're all lush as you are anyway so please stop being so hard on yourselves ♥️,” she captioned the photos.

2. She is an Advocate for Women

“Although most people have been really kind about my new bod- there have been quite a lot of nasty comments with people even going as far to say they only liked me before when I was, in their words, an advocate for curvy women,” she wrote. “Listen, I am an advocate for WOMEN full stop. Whatever your shape, whatever your size- & the only reason I started doing my 'Instas versus reality' in the 1st place was to show everyone that we are all capable of taking a good picture for the gram- & we shouldn't be comparing our beautiful bodies to anyone else's- especially not someone else's carefully curated Social media ones.”

3. She Says There’s a Difference Between Posed vs. More Relaxed

“If I want to stretch up, put my hands behind my head & suck my tummy in- The end result is going to be this first pic. However if I relax, allow gravity to do its thing & stop trying so hard.. my body moves (Spoiler alert, all bodies move & I quite like my squishy tummy- it's where my pizza lives 😂) the end result is more like this second one,” she explained of the photos. “These posts were only ever meant to encourage all of us to stop beating ourselves up or comparing our bodies to the super posed & unrealistic ones on social. It's ok to want posed pics or more relaxed ones- to let it all hang out or want to go balls to the wall.”

4. She Says It’s Not OK to Tear Women Down

“The only thing that isn't ok is telling another woman how YOU think she should look. Instead of tearing other women down, we should be building each other up... We're all beautiful in our own unique way & trust me, we're all capable of getting a sick pic for Insta 😂” she concluded.

5. She Sets Goals, and You Can, Too

“I write out my goals for the week as well as how I plan to achieve them,” Pattison has said. “Eating healthier sounds like a good idea. But what does it really mean? Aim for specific goals instead, such as eliminating soda, eating five servings of vegetables a day or limiting your daily sugar intake to 30 grams of added sugar,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Losing 10 pounds a week sounds great. But it's an impossible goal that likely will leave you discouraged — and more likely to give up on your efforts. Choosing realistic goals that you can meet will reinforce your efforts and keep you moving forward. Losing one pound per week is a realistic and sustainable goal.”
