Pip Edwards, the Australian fashion icon and founder of P.E Nation, is enjoying some time in the 50th state. “Aloha Hawaii. Feels like home ❤️ 🏝,” she captioned one beach photo. “Officially Out Of Office 🏝,” she captioned another, of her in a swimsuit. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Pip Edwards 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 Does Pilates

“I do Pilates with Kirsten King from FluidForm three mornings a week. I try to complement this with a weekly boxing session but it all depends on time! I also enjoy soft sand running and really love to ski and trying to surf (lol). I like to mix it up, however Pilates is always a non-negotiable,” she told AModrn. “It’s my a complete mind, body and soul workout—it is life changing,” says Pip. “It’s my hour to concentrate on my body and mind connection, to breathe through the focus and align with my core and really get centred.”

2. This is What She Eats

“I start the day with two boiled eggs with a heavy hit of Tobasco. This is generally followed by a smoothie from Cali Press on my way to work after Pilates—I love the choc-minted with extra dates and xct-oil. Mid-morning, I will have a skim mocha with extra chocolate and a handful of cashews. Lunch is mostly a salad, I try to eat as clean as possible. Dinner is much the same. If I need a sweet treat, frozen dates with cashews. I drink water all day—at least two litres generally mixed with a supplement like chlorophyll or collagen,” she told AModrn.

3. She Feels the Power of Nature

“I love to do the Bondi to Bronte, and always stop off at the cliff between the South Bondi point as it turns around into Mackenzie Bay. I sit and gaze at the horizon and feel the power and enormity of the ocean,” she has said. “I do this often. It’s important to notice how small you are in the scheme of life, and how significant our landscape is to who we are, what we do and how we feel.”

4. She Gets Massages

“I love to get different kinds of massages. I go to Venustus in Paddington for a spiritual boost where I see Jeanie, who ensures that I stay in tune to my inner callings and higher presence. She sets me tasks and rituals to follow and practice so that my “grounding” becomes part of my routine. After a soul sesh, I have the best 4 hand massage ever – its pure magic,” she has said.

5. This is Her Advice on Staying Grounded

“I guess my grounding routine isn’t really the norm? But what is the norm? I don’t meditate for example, well not in the traditional sense. I do what works for me and my body. I do what makes ME feel good. I do what serves ME. As no one knows me better. Wellness is all about BEING and being WELL. And that is a very personal journey and one that speaks to your physical, your emotional, your intellectual, your spiritual, and your social fabric, all within your own environment. Health is wealth. And fine-tuning that will always be a balancing act of moving parts and constant evolution. The thing is to make sure that we always moving forward,” she said.

Filipino star Sheena Halili is determined not to let preconceived notions about motherhood keep her out of sexy swimsuits. The TV host posted a beautiful snap of herself wearing a black two-piece on the beach, looking happy and healthy. “People have been talking about what kind of swimsuits moms should wear and why is that? There shouldn't be a ‘one size fits all’ when you're dressing as a mom. As long as you're comfortable in it--no matter how much skin you're showing (or not!) you should go on and wear it! 😘,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Halili 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 Scuba Dives

Halili is a big fan of scuba diving, and practises as much as she can. “In addition to being a good cardio workout, scuba diving is a great way to build muscle strength and endurance,” says Scuba.com. “Swimming, especially against a current, forces divers to use muscles in their legs, core, and arms. This effort helps to build lean muscle mass and promote muscular endurance. This makes scuba diving a great way to increase strength without putting too much stress on your joints. And don’t forget about those tanks! Carrying scuba tanks and other gear is another way to improve upper body strength. Additionally, lifting tanks activates muscles in your arms, back, and core, making diving a true full body workout!”

2. She Always Makes Space For ‘Alone Time’

Halili takes ‘me-time’ coffee breaks whenever she can. “As a psychologist, I know the research, and the research is clear: Alone time is essential for emotional/mental/ spiritual/social/physical health, and a key element of true happiness,” says Dr. Christina Hibbert. “By ‘alone time’ what I really mean is time away from your role as a mother—time to be YOU, to unwind, relax, rest, revive. This can include taking a nap, sleeping in, reading, hiking, going out with a friend, doing a project or activity you enjoy, or anything that helps you feel like the real you and builds your health and strength. Some need more or less alone time, but all will benefit from a few minutes each day, hours each week, and/or days away each year.”

3. She Loves to Swim

Halili is an avid swimmer and loves spending time in the water. “Swimmers have about half the risk of death compared with inactive people,” says the CDC. “People report enjoying water-based exercise more than exercising on land. They can also exercise longer in water than on land without increased effort or joint or muscle pain.”

4. She Uses a Flotation Pod

Halili loves using a flotation pod for relaxation and stress relief. “Healing our body makes us a better person, a better wife & a better mom! #gratitude 🧘 🏻‍♀,” she captioned an Instagram snap of herself using the device. “The flotation pod is a sensory deprivation chamber with water saturated with 360-540kgs of Epsom Salt (aka Magnesium sulfate) used to create buoyancy so you float effortlessly. Additionally, the water is heated to your body’s skin surface temperature, about 34°C. This treatment encourages the brain & body to rebalance itself without intervening external stressors. Floating triggers physiological relaxation, helps relieve physical stress like joint pains, and aches, reduces mental stress like anxiety, depression, lowers cortisol and blood pressure, aids in getting restful sleep, enhances creativity, and boosts overall disposition.”

5. She Loves Pilates

Halili is a big fan of Pilates, and continued practicing it throughout her pregnancy in 2020. “Oftentimes, people feel that their body has been compressed, tense, and tight beforehand but leave the studio feeling more loose and more aware of their body,” says Marina Kaydanova, founder of BK Pilates in New York City.

1. She Makes Time For Self-Care

Edwards tells Body and Soul that she makes time for self-care. She says that she does a lot of body treatments regularly. “Acupuncture is a new thing for me and I’m obsessed. I always try to do at least one sauna and swim a week at Icebergs in Bondi. I also love to get a Thai massage once a week.”

2. She Practices Meditation

Edwards tells Body and Soul that she tries to practice meditation at least once a day. “I try to get 20 minutes in. When I was really on top of it I was doing it twice a day morning and night. I even try to have a few long deep breaths between meetings to reset between the stress.”

3. She Takes Care Of Her Body

Edwards has a busy, stressful schedule, and she does procedures at home to prevent herself from getting too stressed out or injured. She says to Body and Soul, “I have a Theragun at home and a roller ready to go and a sauna and swim combo is incredible when I get into a regular rhythm.”

4. She Gets Exercise In

Edwards tells Body and Soul that she makes sure to stay active throughout the week, and she has her favorite exercises. “I try and do Pilates three times a week, but no less than twice a week. I love doing the Bondi to Bronte or harbour walks to get my body moving. And I try and squeeze in some cardio at the gym by doing a 20 minute cycle on the bike, low resistance.”

5. She Eats Healthy Throughout The Day

When Elle asked Edwards how she maintained her summer body, the fashion designer revealed that she makes sure to eat healthy all day. Edwards says that her typical diet is, "For breakfast I have boiled eggs and Tabasco with a skim mocha, then lunch is soup or a salad with another coffee. Trail mix in the afternoon and crackers with Vegemite and cottage cheese for a snack. Chicken and veggies or bolognese or something else hearty for dinner, then I snack into the night—liquorice tea, cashews with dates, yoghurt with cashews and if I have a real sugar craving, I’ll tuck into a lot of Darrel Lea liquorice!"

Burning Man may be over for the year—but Pip Edwards clearly enjoyed every minute of her experience. The Australian fashion entrepreneur shared photos of herself at the festival, wearing platform shoes and a black bikini with a sheer skirt and top. “Pure freedom,” she commented on one of the pics. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Edwards 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’s An Early Bird

Edwards has very busy mornings, and is up fairly early to seize the day. “I wake up around 6am and I usually try to do 20 minutes of meditation,” she tells Body and Soul. “Then, I make a coffee, read my horoscope, quickly scan emails, get my son Justice up and ready, make breakfast, drop him to my mum or to school, then head to Pilates before getting to work.”

2. She Loves Healthy Food

A normal weekday dinner for Edwards is “roasted veggies and salad with some kind of soup,” she says. “Justice and I like to eat differently, but generally make the effort to sit down and eat together. Tacos on Tuesdays and Sundays are our weekly ritual – we enjoy cooking and eating that together.” Eating as a family offers many health benefits, experts say. “There have been more than 20 years of dozens of studies that document that family dinners are great for the body, the physical health, the brains and academic performance, and the spirit or the mental health,” says family therapist Anne Fishel. “The mental health benefits are just incredible. Regular family dinners are associated with lower rates of depression, and anxiety, and substance abuse, and eating disorders, and tobacco use, and early teenage pregnancy, and higher rates of resilience and higher self esteem.”

3. She Has Acupuncture

Edwards has regular acupuncture sessions, saying she is “obsessed” with it. “Acute and chronic pain both respond well to acupuncture, sometimes very quickly,” says licensed acupuncturist Nancy Byrne, MS. “With acute pain, you may feel 80% relief after one treatment, and some people feel 100% better. Getting to the bottom of chronic pain is an ongoing process over multiple sessions. And some people come in for one thing, such as sleep problems, and discover another benefit that keeps them coming back, like relief from anxiety.”

4. She Loves the Sauna and Swimming

Edwards tries to get in at least one session of sauna and swimming a week. “If you have access to a sauna and are considering incorporating it into your routine, first discuss with your doctor as you would before starting any kind of new exercise regimen,” says Dr. Michael Daignault. “Remember, using the sauna induces the same physiologic response you would experience from an intense workout. Sauna use is not recommended for those with a history of low blood pressure, recent heart attack or stroke, and individuals with altered or reduced sweat function. Pregnant women and children should also avoid the sauna.”

5. She Does Pilates Three Times a Week

pip-edwards-1Pip Edwards/Instagram

Edwards loves Pilates, and does it at least twice a week, preferably three if she has time. “There’s a therapeutic, preventative benefit to Pilates,” says yoga therapist Judi Bar. “Because as it’s isolating and relaxing muscle groups, it strengthens them with control and breath. Like yoga, one of the best benefits is that well-being that can come from feeling better. It strengthens your core and, ultimately, it can help lower back pain because, besides tight muscles, lower back pain also comes from misalignment and lack of strength.”

1. She Goes Outside

Moët & Chandon Effervescence Event - ArrivalsDon Arnold/WireImage

Edwards spends a lot of time outside. Last month, she went on a hiking trip with her family. Edwards posted these highlights from the trip on Instagram. She captioned it, “A weekend well spent with the best company, fresh air and the kind of nature reset that makes you never wanna leave. But I am sooooo ready for my big week of work back in the city. The Cotswolds, you have my heart. What a secret oasis.”

2. She Does Pilates

Edwards opened up about her favorite workouts to Women’s Health. She says that she loves to do pilates. “I spent a lot of time in my early 30's doing weight training and HIIT workouts. I had a bad injury and kept training with it, and then I hit a wall and realised that I needed to look after my body. A friend then recommended a really good Pilates instructor who specialises in rehab Pilates. Now I make sure that I fit Pilates classes into my schedule three times a week, and it’s changed my life.”

3. She’s Motivated

Edwards is extremely motivated. She tells Women’s Health that this attitude comes from her being a business owner. “When you have a start-up business, life is fun, you have a lot of energy and motivation. You learn to run at a fast pace… because you have to!”

4. She Works With A Trainer

Edwards likes to do sessions with a personal trainer to help her stay in shape. “My trainer, Kirsten King, is basically a wizard,” she tells Women’s Health. “She has an incredible knowledge of the anatomy. She just knows the body inside and out and she’s taught me so much about my body.”

5. She Switches Up Her Workouts

For Edwards, working out is all about variety. She tells Women’s Health that she tries to do different exercises each day. “Even though I take the same Pilates class for three days of the week, Kirsten and I mix it up. I believe it is really important to give your body variety when it comes to exercise, to keep testing it, so we are always working through an assortment of poses and techniques.

Isabelle Mathers
Isabelle Mathers/Instagram

Isabelle Mathers knows how to turn fitness into fashion. The influencer and model has built a massive following through her stylish collaborations, and her latest collection with CSB is no exception.

Recently, Mathers gave fans a glimpse of her go-to workout looks, modeling sleek two-piece sets in soft toffee and blush tones. The brand captioned the post, “Our fit checks until further notice 🤎 toffee & blush by @isabellemathersx now live.” While she looks effortlessly chic, her fitness routine isn’t just about style—it’s about fueling her body with the right foods and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

From nutrient-packed meals to balanced eating habits, here’s a look at how Mathers stays in top shape.

She Loves Avocado

Mathers makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She shared some of her favorite foods in an Instagram story highlight. In this photo, she is seen eating a salad with avocado. The Cleveland Clinic says that avocado is very healthy. “Avocados are a good source of fiber, which is a type of carbohydrate that your body can’t break down. You need both soluble and insoluble fiber — and lucky for you, avocados have both.”

She Loves Cucumbers

In the previous Instagram story, Mathers included cucumbers in her salad. Cucumbers are very good for you. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Yes, cucumbers are a great part of a healthy diet! Cucumbers belong to the gourd or Cucurbitaceae family, along with pumpkins, squash and melons. This low-calorie fruit (yes, a fruit — it has seeds and grows from a flowering plant!) is chock-full of water and other nutrients, including fiber, vitamins A, K and C, potassium and calcium.”

She Loves Tomatoes

Mathers also put tomatoes in the salad in her Instagram story. According to The Cleveland Clinic, they are very good for you. “One cup of tomato juice offers 45 milligrams of vitamin C — about 75% of an adult’s daily needs. A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps boost your body’s immune cells that fight infection and prevent free radical damage to your healthy cells.”

She Loves Lettuce

Mathers naturally included lettuce in her salad. Lettuce is really good for you. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Lettuce is chock-full of antioxidants. These food chemicals protect you against free radicals, which cause inflammation and may contribute to eye diseases, diabetes and other chronic conditions. Research shows that eating a small side salad before your main course can help you feel fuller. As a result, you eat fewer calories during your meal. Findings suggest that starting your meal with a salad can lead to weight loss or help you maintain a healthy weight.”

She Loves Tuna

Lastly, Mathers included tuna in her salad. Safe Beat says that tuna has a lot of health benefits. “Tuna is rich in potassium, which is known for lowering blood pressure. Omega-3 fatty acids in combination with potassium bring an anti-inflammatory effect to the cardiovascular system, which in turn benefits us by lowering blood pressure, risk of stroke and heart attacks.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
