1. She’s Open To Working With Others

Brunson opened up about her approach to productivity in an interview with Fast Company. She says that she is always working with different people with different points of view. “Productivity to me right now is about communicating to create a solution. It’s about articulating my ideas to larger groups of people and companies who may not get it right away. That’s often looked at as a bad thing, like, ‘Oh, man, these people don’t get my ideas.’ But what I’ve learned is that it just takes some expert-level communication to paint the picture for different people you’re working with.”

2. She Works Out On Off Days

Brunson is very busy, but she does make time for exercise. She tells Fast Company the she usually works out on her days off. “On a day that I’m not on set, I’ll work out. I enjoy working out first thing in the morning. I have an exercise bike. It gives me a lot of energy for the rest of the day.”

3. She Uses Body Wash

Brunson revealed some of her favorite skincare products to Harper’s Bazaar. She says that she loves body wash. “I have OLAY—I used to use their Ribbon Body Wash when I was younger, and I still stick with OLAY body washes because of that. But in my bathroom right now, I have their Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter. I keep it pretty simple; a good body wash and I'm ready to go.”

4. She Makes Time For Herself

Brunson values her alone time. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she feels it helps with her wellbeing. “I know it's hard, because we're in a society that promotes working a lot and working yourself to the bone. Hustle culture is still very much alive, but I think people need to schedule time to sleep, rest, and do nothing—which includes not being on their phones and having their brains going a mile a minute.”

5. She Uses Natural Hair Masks

Brunson revealed some of her favorite products to NyMag. She says that she uses a natural hair mask. “Bread is a great natural-hair brand. I really love their hair-care products and they’ve always worked really well with my hair. The conditioner is pretty vital to me, and I always make sure I have a bag lying around. It’s soft, but I can feel the effects immediately. Plus a little bit goes a long way so it lasts a long time.”

Deonna Purrazzo is showing off her swimsuit body and her fiancé. The bride-to-be and WWE star looks gorgeous in her latest social media photo, cozying up to her almost husband while taking a dip in the pool. “OMG,” commented one of her followers. “The water is boiling,” added another. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Deonna Purrazzo 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 Lives in Gratitude

Deonna makes sure to take time and appreciate everything good in her life. "This has quite possibly been the busiest month I've ever had… and one of the most rewarding. My smile is a true reflection of how I'm feeling. Grateful," she captioned a post.

2. She “Claps Back” at Body Shamers

"Twitter saw this CLAP-BACK first 👏👏👏 I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don't deserve the attention. But, I'll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say."

3. She Hikes

When she isn’t training, you can find Deonna out hiking in nature. “There’s a lot I could say about the Grand Canyon, but it all feels too deep. In all seriousness, this trip was absolutely breathtaking. Looking out and seeing all those colors was like a dream,” she captioned this post about one of her hiking trips.

4. She Trains Hard

To keep her body in fighting form, Deonna puts in long hours at the gym. She shared a clip from one of her workouts on Twitter, squatting with incredibly heavy weights, writing “my heaviest this particular day was 215lb x 4 reps.”

5. She Celebrates Her Strength

Deonna is strong and proud of it! “Stop using the gym as a photoshoot and workout...” she tweeted alongside a photo of herself showing off her guns. “oh..... OK,” she added. "Bones lose calcium and weaken with age, but strength training can help slow or sometimes even reverse this trend. Not only can strength training make you look and feel better, but it can also result in better performance of everyday activities, such as climbing stairs and carrying bundles. Stronger muscles also mean better mobility and balance, and thus a lower risk of falling and injuring yourself. In addition, more lean body mass aids in weight control because each pound of muscle burns more calories than its equivalent in fat," says Harvard Health.

Mikee Quintos, the Filipino actress and singer, is not afraid to post swimsuit photos on Instagram. She just did a new shoot of herself in front of a technicolor background. She wore a white bikini and sweatshirt, showing off her abs. "Prettttty," said one commenter. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mikee Quintos 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 Works Out For Herself

Quintos revealed some of her health and wellness secrets in an interview with GMA. She says that her main wellness philosophy is to be healthy for herself. She says that it helps her stay on track and stay well. “Trying to be healthy, trying to work out, and trying to lose weight [should] always be for yourself and not for anyone else." "And of course, regular physical exams and adult health screening tests are an important part of preventive adult health care. Know which screening tests you need and how often to have them done. Early detection can be the key to successful treatment," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Stays Positive

Quintos tells GMA that she stays positive, especially when it comes to wellness. “If you look for inspiration in the negative, it’s always going to be short-term. You have to want it enough. Everything else will follow.” "Indeed, some studies show that personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. The positive thinking that usually comes with optimism is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Spends Time In The Water

Quintos loves to go to the beach and spend time in the water. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a beach or pool day. Quintos posted this photo of herself by the waves, with the caption, “Take it easy.” She also posted this set of photos of herself posing on the shore, captioning them, “Feelin’ good, like I should.”

4. She Hikes

She captioned it: "Twitter saw this CLAP-BACK first 👏👏👏 I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don’t deserve the attention. But, I’ll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Deonna Purrazzo 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 Has No Time For Body Shamers

Throughout her career, Purrazzo has never been afraid to call out body shamers. In her most recent Instagram post’s caption, Purrazzo once again took time to call out the haters. “I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don’t deserve the attention.” "Teach your children to not respond to cyberbullying messages. Encourage them to block anyone who cyberbullies, to keep evidence of it and to share it with you," says the Mayo Clinic. "Warning signs of cyberbullying include seeming depressed or upset after spending time online and trying to avoid school or social situations."

2. She’s All About Self-Love

Purrazzo is all about self-love and accepting herself. In the same Instagram post, she talked about the importance of self-love. “I’ll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say,” she wrote. "Once you've identified troubling situations, pay attention to your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and your interpretation of what the situation means. Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts, or irrational, based on false ideas," says the Mayo Clinic. "Ask yourself if these beliefs are true. Would you say them to a friend? If you wouldn't say them to someone else, don't say them to yourself."

3. She Learns New Things

Purrazzo has worked with a lot of different people and companies. She says to The Sun that she makes sure to learn new things with each experience. "Every company has taught me something different," she says. "When I first went to Impact, I was seven matches in, 19-years-old and terrified. It was a massive learning curve but a good stepping stone into the independent scene."

4. She’s Grateful

Purrazzo has a successful career, and she is grateful for everything that has happened to her. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself appreciating her recent activities. She wrote in the caption, “This has quite possibly been the busiest month I’ve ever had… and one of the most rewarding. My smile is a true reflection of how I’m feeling. Grateful.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Purrazzo loves to spend time by the beach. Last summer, she took a trip to Hawaii, and made sure to get a ton of photos for Instagram.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

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.”
