Rocío Marengo is grateful in her bathing suit. The Argentinian model and actress expressed gratitude to her many fans on social media this week, showing off her curves in a swimsuit simultaneously. “Beautiful morning isn't it!!!! I love youuuuu, thank you all for the love!!!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the bombshell stays fit? Here are Rocío Marengo’s top 5 diet and fitness tips for staying 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. Exercise

If you want a hot body like Rocío’s you are going to have to sweat for it. How often should you hit the gym? Whatever exercise you choose to do, 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

2. Cycle

Rocío is big into cycling – both indoor on a stationary bike and also outside. The Cleveland Clinic encourages biking for fitness, as it is a low-impact aerobic exercise great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

3. Be “Smart” About Diet Choices

Rocío maintains a healthy diet, opting for more nutrious alternatives to her favorite guilty pleasures. “I choose smart nutrition!! 🧡 Nothing tastier and healthier than @insulowargentina desserts !!! They are super easy to prepare! 😋. Protein and vitamin based foods, gluten free!!!” she posted a video of her favorite shake.

4. Ride Horses

Rocío is also an experienced equestrian. Why you consider riding horses? According to the American Heart Association, horseback riding is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

5. She Dances

Rocío also dances her way to a hot body. She has been on Bailando por un Sueño a few times. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons, including strength building, improved flexibility, and improved 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.

Roselyn Sánchez, the actress and TV presenter, is missing her late pooch. “Miss you Maraca 💕🌈,” she captioned a photo of her in a bathing suit, holding the dog. “I remember this day like it was today… 15 years ago, I met you the day before. You were 11 weeks old. Puerto Rico… Te pienso tranquila y feliz en el cielo 💫” (Rough translation: “I think of you calm and happy in heaven.”) How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Roselyn Sanchez 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 Consciously Stays Fit

"I think [staying fit] is a conscious decision. Once you have kids, the body changes," she told her friend Eva Longoria in Hola. "I'm 46 years old; I'm still in this business. People have a perception of you, of how you need to look, and it's a lot of pressure. I’d rather be home and do nothing, but I can't." She added: "And now it's not even about the physique. I became a mother late in life -- I had Sebella at 38 and Dylan at 44 -- and I want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible. I owe it to my kids to stay young and vibrant."

2. She Lives Her Life Respectfully

How does Sánchez stand tall? “I do it by living my life in a very respectful way,” she has said, “to serve as an inspiration to all those young Latinas and Puerto Rican girls that see me as a testament that you can do it. You can leave the country and succeed and work hard and have a clear goal as a Hispanic. I’m making it happen.”

3. She Stretches

Sánchez is a former dancer and knows the value of a good stretch. Try also ending each workout with a foam roller. “Foam rolling is one of the best ways to keep your muscles loose and your body mobile. It stretches areas that are hard to hit otherwise (like long tendons) and releases muscle tension throughout the body, helping you recover for your next workout,” says personal trainer Mark Langowski.

4. Pets are Good For Your Mental Health

"Pets continue to be an optional part of our modern lives. Research shows that our desire to connect with our pets can be a valuable asset for those struggling with physical and emotional pain; mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety; and environmental factors, such as loneliness," says Jennifer Wickham, licensed professional counselor at Mayo Clinic Health System. "Though not a replacement for social interaction with people, pets do provide social support and stress reduction," adds Wickham in the Mayo Clinic. "We know, through medical research, that increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol slows immune response to injury sites. When this occurs, the healing process can be delayed causing increased recovery times. Developing strategies for reducing stress in everyday life and in health crisis situations has been a recent focus for all."

5. She’s Never Had a Nip or Tuck

Sánchez says she’s never had plastic surgery. What to expect if you’re considering it? “Anticipate improvement, not perfection. If you expect cosmetic surgery to turn you into a movie star, you're bound to be disappointed. Don't count on surgery to save a rocky relationship, gain a promotion or improve your social life,’ says the Mayo Clinic. Also: “Cosmetic surgery isn't covered by most health insurance plans. The cost varies depending on the procedure, ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Also, consider the cost of any follow-up care or additional corrective procedures.”

Paulina Porizkova is one of the most successful models of all time. She’s still showing off her body on social media at age 57. In a recent Instagram post, Porizkova posed in a leopard print bikini. In the caption, she talked about what she has learned growing up in the spotlight. Read on to see 5 ways Paulina Porizkova 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 Calls Out Double Standards

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Celebrates 2019 Issue Launch At SeaSpiceJohn Parra/Getty Images

Porizkova is known for being very outspoken on Instagram. She talked about double standards in society in this post. She wrote, “Athletes versus models. Both start their careers very young. Both make large amounts of money based on their physicality - in direct proportion to the demand - for their service. Both need to keep themselves in prime physical shape. Both jobs are physically and sometimes emotionally painful. Both careers end when most others just come into their best. Both are a celebration (or objectification) of the human body. Both demand sacrifices in personal lives. Both are used for your entertainment and to sell you products. One highlights mostly men, the other mostly women. And as they start aging out of their careers, if they refuse to give up quite yet - one gets applauded and is seen as heroic, and the other shamed as pathetic.”

2. She Goes To The Beach

Porizkova loves to spend time outside. One place she loves to go is the beach. She posted this photo of herself in Costa Rica on Instagram. She captioned it, “It’s been a wonderful week in Costa Rica, filled with sun, jungle, ocean, pool, long dinners, lots of books read, and of course, the antics of George the monkey.”

3. She Calls Out Haters

Porizkova is not afraid to call out social media haters. She did so in this Instagram post.“A woman of 57 is ‘too old’ to pose in a bikini - no matter what she looks like. Because ‘Old’ is ‘Ugly.’ I get comments like these every time I post a photo of my body. This is the ageist shaming that sets my teeth on edge. Older men are distinguished, older women are ugly. People who believe prettiness equals beauty do not understand beauty.”

4. She Embraces Age

In the same Instagram post, Porizkova says that she is embracing her age. “To perceive beauty you have to be able to SEE. This is why I believe we get more beautiful with age. We have earned our beauty, we understand what it is, and we can see it so much better. There is no such thing as ugly and old. Only shortsighted and ignorant.”

5. She Intermittent Fasts

Porizkova says that she likes to intermittently fast as a way to stay in shape. She explained her process on Instagram. “You don’t eat for 16 hours and then you eat for eight,” Porizkova said. “I generally take it as I eat whatever I want for eight hours because I like food, but I also kind of tend to like more healthy food.”

Actress Génesis Rodríguez recently enjoyed a trip to Barbados. She’s been sharing some highlights on Instagram. Rodríguez just shared a new reel from the beach. In it, she walked into the water.

Read on to see 5 ways Génesis Rodríguez 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 Decompresses

Rodríguez gave an interview to Nightmarish Conjurings to promote her movie Centigrade. She says that she has to decompress after shooting days. “It was very very difficult. It’s not like you can turn it off, turn off the characters. You have to go home and continue the diet. What I would do was watch reality TV shows to try to get out of my head because I was so frightened and so scared of my job that I would just try not to think about anything. So, that’s what I would do. It was hard. You had to have a partner, of someone you’d trust to be able to do that.”

2. She Wants Inclusivity

Rodríguez wants to increase the amount of diversity in the movie and TV industry. “Well, I have got to say being a Latino woman, a Latinx woman, it’s very difficult for me to even land a lead role in a movie,” she tells Nightmarish Conjurings. “Let alone being considered a Naomi so, this to me was a feat because I was able to be a lead of a movie. But also, I wanted and I feel like I deserved the opportunity. And I hope that changes. I do still feel it’s not there. Hollywood is not there yet. They have to be more inclusive and they have to consider us as being a part of the American population. I should have no problems in getting a Naomi role, but I did. It was a challenge. It is a challenge for me to get there. So, I pray that it changes. That there [are] more opportunities for someone like me and the door is completely open and it is all about just your talent. Not because you are filling a quota.”

3. She Wants To Be Challenged

Rodríguez opened up about her ideal qualities in a man to Muscle and Fitness. She says that she wants to be challenged in life. “I don’t like it when a guy lets me win. I think that’s stupid and lame. I like a guy who gives me a challenge, because if I’m going to win I’m going to beat you when you’re giving it your all. Especially in video games.”

4. She Loves Green Juice

Rodríguez makes sure to eat healthy. One thing she likes to do is drink green juice. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself enjoying a green smoothie. Rodríguez captioned the post, “Wash your face. Drink your greens. Do some gua sha. Block the haters. Stay hydrated Mami.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Rodríguez is all about skincare. She wrote this essay for POPSugar about the importance of skincare. “It's so important to take the time to treat your skin. We always talk about that red carpet glow — how do actresses do it? It's really about loving the skin we are in, but…Are we loving it like we're supposed to? Taking a few minutes to pamper your skin might seem like the last thing you want to add to your already busy to-do list, and it really does take time, but your skin deserves it!”

Roselyn Sánchez, the actress and TV presenter, is enjoying “familia time” in her hometown of Puerto Rico. “I don’t get to spend many days like this with my family so being in PR filming is priceless 🙏 This place is special to me, they always treat me with so much love and they are pet friendly, so win win 💕 Only wish @ebwinter Sebi, Dylan, Archie and Bandit were here.” She added: "It feels weird to post selfies and stuff while the world is in disarray. Trust me, I’m so very grateful for this wonderful time with my family, but I’m constantly reading and thinking about Ukraine. It’s so weird how one part of the world is carrying on living ordinary normal lives while the other is at war.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Roselyn Sánchez 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 Stays Fit So She Can Be There for Her Kids

Sánchez is 48 years old and has two young kids. “I stay fit with exercise and take care of my health. This has always come naturally to me and it’s been part of my life without even thinking about it, but now I feel that it’s become a duty. Now it’s not about exercising because I like it, I tell myself, 'Roselyn, you do this because when your boy turns 30 and gets married, you have to be there,'” she told Hola.

2. She Loves to Exercise Outdoors

"I have a lifelong passion for fitness, and that passion makes me love, love, love the national parks," Sánchez said once. "There's nothing like working nature. In Puerto Rico, I grew up going to the national parks, playing, flying a kite. I can't imagine of any yoga studio that could be more peaceful than" a park. "I can guarantee you, there is a branch of the greatest gym in the world in your area. Find your park."

3. She Does Yoga

One study looked at people who did “six weeks of Iyengar yoga” and “the results show a significant increase in flexibility, indicating 6 weeks of single session yoga training may be effective in increasing erector spinae and hamstring flexibility. This is important when considering that much of the population find it difficult to attend more than one session a week into their training schedule."

4. Here’s How She Looks So Young

“People ask me, ‘What do you do?’ And I say, ‘I haven’t done anything,’ she told HOLA! USA. “I haven’t had surgery; all I can think of is that I’ve never had alcohol or smoked." She continued: “My mom is almost 80, and she’s been through cancer and all kinds of things, but her skin is amazing—so I don’t know if it’s a combination of things.”

5. She Says She’s “Tough!”

The 22nd Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards - Red CarpetRodrigo Varela/Getty Images

“Of course! I’m tough! Just imagine, I was the only girl, and the youngest sibling. I grew up with three brothers, the third one is five years older than me. Then there’s my father. I always say I was raised by five men because my mother also has the temperament of a man. This is what I know, what I’ve lived. There were two sides to my life. On the one hand, I was a big fan of boxing. We’d always watch boxing matches on the weekend at home. It’s my favorite sport. Before marrying Eric, I loved going to see live boxing matches. But on the other hand, I love ballet. I’ve been practicing it since I was very young. I loved boxing with my brothers, climbing trees and playing in the mud. But my feminine side was satisfied by being a lady with my hair done up in a ribbon and wearing a white tutu,” she told Hola.

6. She Flattens Her Tummy With This Trick

2021 Creative Arts EmmysKevin Winter/Getty Images

After having a baby, “I do have a little [belly]. I’m just hiding it with Spanx,” she told People. “I had to do it. I put my dress on and I’m going, ‘You know what, no. I need to use the Spanx!'” Weight gain is completely natural during pregnancy. However, if you are not pregnant, and overweight, too much fat around your belly can cause harm. Once that belly fat appears, it actually adds to our stress levels—and not just because we’re freaked about how we’ll look at the pool party. In studies, women with high levels of belly fat have been shown to have higher overall levels of cortisol, and an increased sensitivity to stress hormones in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. In other words, stress creates cortisol, which stores belly fat, which creates more cortisol.

7. She is Grateful For Her Life But It's Not What She Expected

20th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards - ArrivalsJoe Buglewicz/Getty Images

“I can’t complain. That would be ungrateful of me. I thought that it would be easier than it actually was. I’ve lived through so much happiness but also lots of tears. But it’s like anything in life, if I were to retire tomorrow and write a book about my life, it would be 90% gratitude. Gratitude towards God, life, my angels… because I’ve worked consistently for 25 years. However, if I were to close my eyes and think about how I believed my career was going to turn out when first I moved to New York, it would have definitely been” different, she told Hola!.

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.

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 🫶🏼🫶🏼”
