The pro track and field athlete on Team Canada, Robin Bone, is an excellent pole vaulter with a passion for health and fitness. “A little dancey dance for recovery days at the track,” she said on Instagram on a video of her being goofy, doing a little dance. Here’s what Bone does to stay looking and feeling her best.


1. She’s confident

On a video of Robin looking confident and strong, running on the track, she said on Instagram “feelin’ good and ready for fall training camp next week.” She knows the importance of having a positive mind set, in addition to working on building her physical strength.

2. She practices functional strength

On a video of her working out, doing various body movements, she gives followers a look into what she does to stay in shape. “Been spending this fall easing back into things and spending a lot of time on plyos and functional strength… body feels great and happy to be movin’🏃‍♀️,” she said on Instagram.

3. She pushes through

She’s grateful, even during tough times. “Didn’t have my best day on Friday. While disappointed, I am walking away from Trials with so much gratitude. To be healthy again on the runway is a blessing and to my family, friends, coaches and sponsors- thank you! I am eternally thankful and have so much love for each and every one of you who has been a part of this chapter! 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦,” she said on Instagram.

4. She recognizes progress

She celebrates the progress during her training and workouts. “NEW PR!! 305LBS BABY!!!! Going into this season my goal was to hit 2.5 times my body weight on this explosive exercise… this was 2.54🤪🎉,” she said on a video on Instagram of her lifting weights.

5. She golfs

She has fun practicing other sports and finding ways to stay active. On an Instagram video of her golfing, she said “off-season golf powered by my new @ustmamiyagolf Recoil SmacWrap Shafts ⛳️ 🤗 #teamessx #ustmamiyagolf.” According to Better Health, “golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

It takes a lot of training to be a champion pole vaulter like Robin Bone, and her social media is proof of just how hard the athlete works. Bone shared a video of herself wearing gray leggings and a green top, lifting a huge amount of weight while doing squats. “NEW PR!! 305LBS BABY!!!! Going into this season my goal was to hit 2.5 times my body weight on this explosive exercise… this was 2.54🤪🎉☑️,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Bone stays so fit, fast, and fabulous.


1. Oatmeal with Chia

Oatmeal,Bowl.,Oat,Porridge,With,Banana,,Blueberry,,Walnut,,Chia,SeedsShutterstock

Bone starts the day with oatmeal for a slow energy release. “My daily breakfast varies for different training days but my staple is a coffee and a hearty bowl of oats with chia seeds, hemp seed, flax seed, some fruit and almond butter,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I find this combo keeps me full throughout my training without making me feel sluggish.”

2. Upper Body Workouts

One of Bone’s favorite upper body workouts is the Stability Ball Plank with Shoulder Extension and Circles. “In an elbow plank position on a stability ball, place your elbows onto the ball with your feet on the ground roughly shoulder width apart,” she told Women Fitness. “Ensure that you have a flat back and your core muscles are engaged. Once in this position, roll your elbows forward onto the ball creating a shoulder extension with your head in between your elbows then return to the original position. After doing a set of these, reset to the original elbow plank position then circle your elbows on the ball to the left while keeping a strong core then do a set circling elbows to the right. I typically do 10 extensions, 10 left elbow circles and 10 right elbow circles in one set.”

3. Golfing For Fun

Bone likes to play golf as a refreshing and fun change from her usual track and pole vault training. With a typical golf game often lasting over four hours, the sport is a great way to stay active while having a good time with friends. “Regular access to green spaces has been linked to lower risks of depression and improved concentration and attention,” say the experts at UC Davis.

4. Coffee and Sunshine

Bone says coffee and sunshine make her a happy girl. “Coffee is made from beans, a plant food. Research is showing that the phenolic components in coffee provide health-promoting effects similar to those in vegetables or fruits,” Devon Peart, RD, MHSc, BASc, tells the Cleveland Clinic.

5. Training In the Sun

Bone is always outdoors for training and competition, so she has to be extra careful to protect herself from the sun. “Training in Phoenix heat does take a toll on my hair and skin, so I have created a regimen to keep both of these healthy and moisturized,” she told Women Fitness. “I naturally have freckles so I try to keep my skin protected as best I can. I don’t wear make-up during training days but after I wash my face in the morning I apply sunscreen. My hair has never been so dry as it is in Phoenix from the constant sun beating down so I apply a heat protectant spray to my hair in the morning to protect against UV rays. And of course like most women, I love to do a face-mask or hair-mask every now and then to keep my skin moisturized and healthy!”

Kelli Berglund in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Cute"

“Cute,” commented one of her followers.

Kelly Burglund is recreating a movie scene – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the actress shows off her figure in exercise clothes while recreating an iconic movie moment from 10 Things I Hate About You with her boyfriend. “0 things I hate about you ♥️,” she writes in the caption. “Cute,” commented one of her followers. How does the Heels star approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Prior to Heels, She Was a “SoulCycler”

Berglund discussed her physical transformation for Heels with SheKnows. Prior to shooting she had a dance and gymnastics background and enjoyed spin classes. “I go to SoulCycle and that’s about it!” she told her trainer for the show. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

2. Three Hours of Training Per Night

To get in shape prior to shooting, Berglund spent three hours a night wrestling. Then, for season two, she amped it up even more. “​​I trained for five months going into season two, because Crystal is much more of a wrestler now. I wanted to bulk up and look more like a wrestler,” she added to The Hollywood Reporter.

3. Bulking and Cutting

Much like real wrestlers, Berglund bulked and cut. “So I was eating a pretty strict bulking diet of lots of protein, and then cutting closer to when we were filming the show, I was training for about three hours a day, five days a week. And that continued on as we started filming in Atlanta. They built us another gym like they did in season one, and we were in there on all of our off days with the stunt team. Even the cast that aren’t wrestlers were coming into the gym; it became this community. So it was extremely difficult, but I’m so proud of myself for getting through it. And in watching the second season, I’m grateful that it comes across,” she told THR.

4. Ice Baths

Kelli cools down with ice baths. “Thank you for having us @denmotherwellness 🌿 pure bliss is fighting for your life in an ice bath together,” she captioned a recent post. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

5. Dance

Kelli also blasts calories via dance. “I take dance classes (when I can) in my free time… it’s still such a love of mine, plus, it’s a great workout!” Kelli told Naluda. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman is in full-on training mode for the Summer Games in Paris 2024. Newman, 29, shared pictures of herself wearing a two-piece running outfit, flashing the peace sign at the camera. “Happy Monday! Back on the road this week, taking every day of rest as a blessing to reset 😇🫶🏼 I can feel the greatness for the upcoming competitions, going to make you guys & myself proud ♥️🇨🇦,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the Olympic athlete trains, eats, and stays fit and focused.


1. Athlete Diet

Newman is careful about her nutrition, and tries not to eat late at night. "If I were going to put it on a scale, my mentality is priority number one, nutrition is number two, and practice is number three," she told Bodybuilding.com. "I put my nutrition before practice because I have to fuel my body with the best nutrients to get the best results. It's extremely important to put the proper nutrients in your body, especially during long, hard, and critical practices. If you don't eat right, it's like putting cheap gas in your car. Yeah, it'll drive, but not as well as it should. Our bodies are the same way."

2. Intense Training Regimen

Newman’s training routine is so intense she needs two days a week for recovery. "During the week I stick to a specific schedule," she told Bodybuilding.com. "I usually have two technical days comprised of pole vaulting, gymnastics, and plyometrics. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I run—anything from tempo runs to quick 60-meter sprints. I finish those running days with weight training. Whenever my competition schedule allows it, I take off Saturdays and Sundays to rest."

3. Core Strength

Newman’s pole vaulting training includes plenty of core exercises. “We do very elongated exercises,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “Not crunches or any of that. It’s rope climbing while upside down. We’re doing pole-rope climbing, wall bar where you’re laying on your back and lifting your legs up but we don’t crunch at the hips; we crunch at the shoulders. When we talk about abdominal strength in the pole vault, it’s literally from the chin to the pelvic region. So, it’s our lats, core, obliques and all that stuff is activated while we’re doing core work.”

4. Pole Vaulting Drills

Newman’s training also includes lots of drills. “We do a lot of sled pulls. We do a lot of box horse drills,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “You have this huge box right in front of the pole vault pit and you’re doing drills to avoid the run up. You’re just doing pole work on the actual pole. Then, we’ll head back and start working on — right before you bend the pole — we call it a takeoff. So you work on getting your arms up, getting activated, and quick feet at takeoff. Then they’ll decide to see where you are energy-wise and we decide which pole you’re going to go on that day.”

5. Lots of Good Sleep

Newman tries to keep her stress—and cortisol—in check by getting the right amount of good quality sleep every night. “My number one secret that people ask me about my beauty regime […] it’s not products, it’s sleep,” she told Elixuer. “I really make sure I give myself that eight hours of sleep. [Your body] needs to decompress, and it needs to not feel stressed, and it needs to not be on social media or interpreting everything you see on the internet, allowing your brain to rest and really recover, [stopping] those endorphins from being released, the cortisol stress levels.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows.

I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
