Annie Ilonzeh is an actress who always shines on screen. She is known for her roles in TV shows like General Hospital, Arrow, Switched At Birth, and Chicago Fire. Last month, she revealed on Instagram that she is doing cold plunges. She shared a reel of herself using a pod to do so. She captioned the post, “Building my cold plunge game.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Annie Ilonzeh stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Cold Plunges

As you can see from her Instagram post, Ilonzeh is incorporating cold plunges into her wellness routine. The Mayo Clinic states that cold plunges have a lot of benefits. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day.”

2. She Speaks Out

Ilonzeh isn’t afraid to speak out about issues that are important to her. In 2020, she attended a Black Lives Matter protest, and shared these photos on Instagram. Ilonzeh captioned the post, “Sunday: An estimated 20+k, all colors, fighting for change. ✊🏾👊🏿🤜🏾🤛🏼Every single person supporting the movement mattered and made a difference. Would love to hear how you’re spreading seeds fam.”

3. She Hikes

Ilonzeh enjoys going for hikes to keep herself in shape. She will hike in any type of weather. Ilonzeh shared these photos on Instagram of herself in Hawaii. In the first one, she’s seen on a trail. She captioned that post, “Celebrating Mother Nature 🤎💚💙 With my loves. Peep the volcano (Kilauea) erupting behind us, it was sooo spectacular.” Ilonzeh also shared this photo of herself hiking in the snow.

4. She Swims

Ilonzeh likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself jumping into the water in Jamaica. Ilonzeh captioned the post, “I thought I was ready. Til I wasn’t. 👀

The moment I got to the edge and looked down, I wanted to turn around. It looks worse when you’re staring at it in the face. *insert deep quote here*

But, I knew I had to jump the 25ft into the water. There’s nooo way I’m walking back down, like a 👶🏽. So I jumped. FINALLY!”

5. She Plays Basketball

Ilonzeh likes to play basketball to stay in shape. She shared these videos on Instagram of herself on the court. Ilonzeh captioned the post, “I opted out of the #metgala this year to bank half court shots. I kid I kid. I did make the first attempt tho. I kid I kid. #basketball used to be life for me. This is true. @claudiajordan and I were working out, I saw a 🏀 and it was a wrap.” She also shared this video, captioning it, “Second home.”

Spring has sprung, and so have the flashbulbs of today’s hottest stars. From Gal Gadot breaking out her swimsuit, to Liberty Poole hitting the hot tub, these celebrities weren’t afraid to look stunning. And all of these ladies look stunning for a reason. They make sure to stay in shape and live well. Read on to see all the ways they 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. Gal Gadot

Actress Gal Gadot went for a swim this week, and posted a stunning duo of photos on Instagram. In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Gadot broke down her training for her role as Wonder Woman. She revealed that she did a lot of new exercises to help her prepare. “I incorporated pilates into my workout routine, because I feel like there's something so holistic about pilates, and opening your rib cage and actually focusing on breathing."

2. Bella Thorne

Actress Bella Thorne has never been afraid to show off her body. She posted a new reel on Instagram of herself enjoying a day on a boat in Cabo, while wearing a white bikini. Thorne has this body for a reason. She told HollywoodLife that she didn’t let the pandemic stop her from living a healthy lifestyle. She says that she did a lot of at-home workouts, citing, “Yoga, some weight training, and a bit of boxing,” as her favorites.

3. Rebecca Judd

Model Rebecca Judd took a trip to gorgeous Whitehaven Beach, and she broke out a black bikini for the occasion. Judd tells BodyAndSoul that she makes sure to check in with herself during her busy days, and does things that help her deal with stress. “I’m always conscious of checking in on myself and how I’m feeling and thinking. I have strategies I use when I’m feeling stressed or struggling to focus. They usually involve deep breathing or doing an at-home pilates class or other little things like writing lists and putting my phone away so I’m more present with my children.”

4. Alyssa Milano

Wellness is extremely important to actress Alyssa Milano, and she revealed her definition of it to The Cut. “It’s an overall sense of feeling good, whether that be mentally or physically or health-wise. Just feeling good about who you are and the choices you make. Honestly, I think it’s really important that we take care of ourselves, and with the amount of things that I juggle in a day, as far as trying to balance motherhood and being a working mom, I don’t think I could do it without a sense of wellness.”

5. Liberty Poole

Love Island and Dancing on Ice star Liberty Poole spent time in a jacuzzi this week. In the photo she posted on Instagram, Poole’s incredible skin was on display. She has this gorgeous skin for a reason, and broke down her skincare routine and tips to Closer Online. "I love a melt-on-skin cleanser that helps remove all your make-up and a really great moisturiser is key. I use the Simple Moisturiser, because it does a nice job and is a really good price, too. On my lips, I always just use Vaseline, which helps keep them juicy, especially in winter. I also can't get enough of the Soap & Glory 3-in-1 body wash, it's incredible, you can even use it to shave."

6. Hilary Rhoda

Model Hilary Rhoda celebrated her birthday this week, and she posted a photo on Instagram of herself in a pink bikini to celebrate. Rhoda revealed a lot of her exercise secrets to Elle, and she says that there’s one fitness class she’s a big fan of. “I love SoulCycle. I don't know if you can still even call it a trend at this point because it's been around for a long time now. For me, I never get sick of it. It's just a great workout. It's so convenient too because they're all over the city and they're every hour, so you can go after work, before work, on your lunch break, any time.”

7. Gemma Atkinson

Actress, author, and BBC radio host, Gemma Atkinson, rocked a pale green bikini on Instagram this week. In an interview with GettheGloss.com, Atkinson revealed some of her workout secrets, including that she likes to plan out her workouts for the next day. “I write my programme down the night before, and find the workout sets me up for the day, and helps give me some structure. It really helps to give me focus and provides a boost of natural endorphins.”

8. Charlotte Crosby

Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, enjoyed a pool day this week, and she wore a strapless brown one piece there. Crosby opened up about her wellness secrets in an interview with NowToLove. She revealed that she isn’t afraid to have some “cheat days”, once in a while, and that they help her stick to her healthy lifestyle. “You don't have to be stupidly disciplined. It's about having a balance of everything. It's important to allow yourself a cheat day or two, otherwise you have more chance of quitting altogether. It's good to have that one day where you eat what you want, because then you work towards it.”

Nicole Scherzinger seems fearless. So it was no surprise to see her sitting, Zen-like, in freezing cold water, in an outdoor tub from Cold Plunge. “3°C 39°F, 6 minute cold plunge. You have to breath through to break through,” she captioned it, adding a fist emoji. “Let’s get it. @the.coldplunge #manamonday.” The song “Who I Am” by LATASHÁ played with the video. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Nicole Scherzinger 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 Takes a Cold Plunge

“Cold water immersion is an ancient practice that has roots in many different cultures, particularly those in high latitudes. Scandinavians have long lauded the post-sauna cold dip as a way to rinse off toxins, jump-start blood flow, and release endorphins. Even Hippocrates and Thomas Jefferson avowed the benefits of soaking in cold water,” reports Discover Magazine. “Swimming or submerging in cold water has gained popularity with the mainstream as a way to boost immune systems, build resilience to stress, and treat inflammation — especially during the pandemic as people search for simple, close-to-home ways to improve their wellbeing.”

2. She Does Yoga

“Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga,” says Johns Hopkins. “Try Downward Dog Pose: Get on all fours, then tuck your toes under and bring your sitting bones up, so that you make a triangle shape. Keep a slight bend in your knees, while lengthening your spine and tailbone.”

3. She Drinks Cold-Pressed Green Juice

FOX Summer TCA 2019 All-Star Party - ArrivalsGregg DeGuire/FilmMagic

A green juice can be a refreshing way to start the day, as can a green smoothie. Add some flaxseeds. “High in omega-3 fats, flaxseeds are an indispensable source of plant-based fatty acids necessary for those who are vegetarian or don't particularly enjoy eating fish. They also contain very high levels of lignans, which are plant-based compounds showing amazing health benefits in cancer prevention and hormone balance,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

4. She Drinks Tea

Nicole has Japanese tea, served hot, for her breakfast. “Whether you drink black, oolong or green tea, they’re all produced from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis bush. Tea leaves from C. sinensis are loaded with flavonoids and other polyphenols, which work as antioxidants,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Some evidence suggests drinking black tea may lower the risk of heart attack and atherosclerosis and reduce kidney stone risk in women. Drinking green or black tea may reduce the risk of developing several cancers, including bladder, esophageal and pancreatic cancers. Drinking black, oolong or green tea appears to lower the risk of ovarian cancer.”

5. She Runs

“When you start out on your run, your body goes through a transition: Your breathing may become heavy, and you might notice your pulse quicken as the heart pumps harder to move oxygenated blood to your muscles and brain,” says Johns Hopkins. “As you hit your stride, your body releases hormones called endorphins. Popular culture identifies these as the chemicals behind ‘runner’s high,’ a short-lasting, deeply euphoric state following intense exercise. Surveys have revealed runner’s high to be rather rare, however, with a majority of athletes never experiencing it.”

6. She Doesn’t Deprive Herself

“I don’t deprive myself of anything,” Nicole has said, according to People. “I have everything in moderation.” One catch though: “When I’m really watching my weight, I refrain from eating late at night,” she says.

7. She Loves the Beach

Nicole shares photos from the beach quite a bit, including just last week. “Mentally I’m here. Physically I’m at home, cleaning my oven,” she captioned the recent Instagram post.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention.

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
