1. She Does Pilates

“I work with Fluidform [Pilates] and have been doing it at home now for some time. [Kirsten King’s] whole philosophy as a Pilates teacher is about poise and lengthening,” Pia revealed to Body + Soul about her go-to workout. She recently posted a photo on Instagram of herself at the studio. "It's always just joy,” she captioned it.

2. She Hikes

Whitesell loves hiking. In this recent set of photos she hikes a cave trail in Sydney. "Adventure time," she captioned it. "The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits,” the Mayo Clinic says about hiking. “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.”

3. She Spins

Pia loves spinning, on exercise bikes and outdoors. In this photo she goes for a ride in Sydney. "A single exercise session that gets your heartrate up can lower blood pressure, improve sleep, lower anxiety and improve insulin sensitivity on the day you do it. Other benefits, like lowering your risk of many chronic diseases and cancers, start adding up within days or weeks of regular physical activity," says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Takes Infrared Saunas

“I have an infrared sauna, so I use that a lot. And I have an unheated pool, so I go from the sauna to the pool,” Pia told Body + Soul. “I really do love infrared – you can have a moment of escapism. It’s like, ‘Boys, I’m in the sauna. Do not disturb.’”

5. She Works Out at the Gym

Pia also makes sure to exercise. “I switch it up with going to the gym and listening to hip-hop while running on the treadmill or on the step machine,” she told Body + Soul. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

6. She Surfs

Pia, who lives in Malibu with her husband, loves surfing. According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.

7. She Prioritizes Her Mental Health

Pia prioritizes her mental health. What is her secret? “Being in the ocean and outdoors as much as possible with my boys. Whether it’s at a basketball court or going for a coastal walk, racing up the street. I have these boys with this insane athletic ability. They smash me!” she told Body + Soul.

Chilean-Australian model Pia Whitesell is looking zen and happy in the summer sunshine, judging by her recent social media activity. Whitesell, 39, shared pictures of herself relaxing by the ocean in a beautiful white bikini, sipping on a drink and cuddling her pup. “Feliz 😊🌊🐚🍹🏄🏽‍♂️🐶 💞,” she captioned the post. Whitesell’s down-to-earth Aussie beauty looks effortless but she works hard to give that impression. Here are 5 ways the model stays fit, happy, and healthy.

1. Pilates and Bike Rides

Whitesell is a big fan of Pilates. “I practice Pilates and I’m still really active with my boys,” she says. “We’re always in the ocean and I like to race them down the street when we’re out for a bike ride. Burning sage or palo santo during my beauty routine makes it feel more like a wellbeing ritual. Also, I try not to over-wash my hair. I’m always swimming in the ocean, so popping on a hair mask helps.”

2. Sauna and Beach Walks

Whitesell loves using her sauna and being active with her sons. “I have an infrared sauna, so I use that a lot,” she says. “And I have an unheated pool, so I go from the sauna to the pool. I really do love infrared – you can have a moment of escapism. It’s like, ‘Boys, I’m in the sauna. Do not disturb.’ Being in the ocean and outdoors as much as possible with my boys. Whether it’s at a basketball court or going for a coastal walk, racing up the street. I have these boys with this insane athletic ability. They smash me!”

3. Meditation Every Day

Whitesell starts the day with a brief meditation session. “I like to start with a 10-minute meditation session because it keeps me grounded and it’s a great way to start the day!” she says. “I then start my morning beauty ritual—which involves curling my lashes every morning without fail and applying SPF, a light concealer and maybe bronzer—I like to keep it supernatural. I then wash my hair and let it dry naturally or if I have time I’ll go over it with a curler to give it a slight bend and comb it through for that beachy wave look.”

4. Treadmill Sessions

Whitesell enjoys mixing up her workouts. “I work with Fluidform [Pilates] and have been doing it at home now for some time,” she says. “[Kirsten King’s] whole philosophy as a Pilates teacher is about poise and lengthening. I switch it up with going to the gym and listening to hip-hop while running on the treadmill or on the step machine.”

5. Embracing Her Age

Whitesell doesn’t obsess about her age. “Age has never been something I felt I identified with,” she says. “I’ve lived a life that called for great maturity and responsibility at a young age, and also one that calls for me to race my sons on our skateboards down our street to get ice cream. I’m more focused on how I’m feeling, how my physical and mental health are tracking, and I’m always trying to make sure that I’m doing all of the things I love, with the people I love. I don’t think ‘age’ is relevant to how we live our lives. I think it all comes down to experience and connection.”

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.”

Bianca has struggled with body image issues her whole life. "I have body dysmorphia so I am never going to be entirely happy with the way that I look. It is in my nature to find fault with some aspect of my appearance,” she confessed to Closer.

2. She Practices Self-Care

Bianca makes sure to exercise and follow some other healthy habits. “Drink your water. Exercise. Go make some money. Do your affirmations. Always be more kinder than necessary. Start a business. Mind your own business. Radiate love. Learn new languages. Speak your feelings. Forgive. Heal. Surround your self with people that love you for you,” she captioned a recent post advocating self-care and love.

3. She Runs

One way Bianca stays in shape is by going for regular runs. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

4. She Snorkels

Bianca loves snorkling. “A Magical Whale Shark Moment 🦈🤍 This is a massive bucket list tick for me I cried with joy swimming with these amazing creatures it I didn’t seem real,” she captioned a post of herself snorkeling. 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.

5. She Takes Supplements

My weight has always yo-yoed and it is a lot harder to stay in shape when you are working all night. My diet can be rubbish and it is difficult to summon up the energy to go to the gym when you have been working all night,” Bianca told Closer. She dropped three dress sizes and lost a ton of weight by working out three or four times a week and swapping two meals a day with Forza supplements. "But I am in the best shape of my life and I am as happy as I am ever going to be with my weight and body shape,” she said.

Ellie Brown spent the weekend in her swimsuit!

How does the reality star stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ellie Brown 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 Went to Extreme Measures Prior to Love Island

Ellie went on an extreme diet before appearing on Love Island, spending two-and-a-half hours a day in the gym for the two months. “I hired a personal trainer for weight training, then would spend the rest sweating away on the treadmill,” she told The Sun. "A health coach is your personal health cheerleader, guide and partner. They help you implement lifestyle changes to improve your physical health," says the Cleveland Clinic. "The service is often available through corporate wellness programs. Your doctor may also recommend health coaching if you have a chronic health issue like diabetes. Or, you may hire a health coach to help you achieve a wellness goal like getting fit."

2. All She Ate Was Fish and Veggies

She also kept her diet clean, staying away from any sugar, dairy, or carbohydrates, eating white fish and vegetables “about five times a day,” and eliminating fruit. "If you're worried about your heart health, eating at least two servings of fish per week could reduce your risk of heart disease," says the Mayo Clinic. "For many years, the American Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in unsaturated fats at least twice a week. The unsaturated fats in fish are called omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation can damage your blood vessels, and lead to heart disease and strokes."

3. She Quit Drinking Too

To lose weight, she also quit drinking for a whopping eight weeks. Since alcohol is high in calories anyone who is trying to lose weight should consider cutting down or eliminating it completely. "Decide not to drink a day or two each week. You may want to abstain for a week or a month to see how you feel physically and emotionally without alcohol in your life. Taking a break from alcohol can be a good way to start drinking less," advises Harvard Health.

4. It “Wasn’t Sustainable”

Ellie couldn’t stick to her drastic diet and exercise routine. “I looked amazing, but that diet really isn’t sustainable. I’d end some days completely exhausted because my body wasn’t getting all the nutrients it needed — and, of course, the meals became SO boring,” she told The Sun. After the show she “put on a stone or so,” and was body shamed by trolls but she is happier. “What the shamers need to realise is that there's a difference between someone who is unhealthy and overweight, and someone who's just a normal size,” she told The Sun. “I'm perfectly fit and happy now — just as I was before Love Island.”

5. She Does Barry’s Bootcamp Workouts

Ellie is one of the many stars who swear by Barry’s Bootcamp workouts, a high intensity interval training class conducted in a bootcamp like setting. There is lots of Research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
