1. Jana Kramer

Actress and singer Jana Kramer celebrated her birthday this week, by spending time at the beach. Kramer revealed some of her fitness secrets on her Instagram stories, and says that reducing time on her phone, especially in the morning, has helped her. "I have to say one of my favorite habits I broke in the morning was I would usually go straight to Instagram,” she said. ‘But when everything happened, the last thing I wanted to look [at] was my phone. So it really helped me get into a good habit of just not picking up my phone.”

2. Tiffany Haddish

Comedian Tiffany Haddish shared a video of herself in a red bathing suit on a boat on Instagram this week. When it comes to working out, Haddish says that she’s a fan of virtual reality workouts. "It feels like you're playing a game… but you are getting a full-body workout. I'll take that thing off after 15 minutes and I am dripping," she told Women’s Health.

3. Christina Aguilera

When receiving the “Music Icon” award at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards, Christina Aguilera brought back one of her most iconic, and revealing outfits. Her look from the “Dirrty” video, which featured a tight bodysuit and chaps, showing off her figure. Aguilera has admitted to struggling with her weight and body image in the past, but says she’s a lot more comfortable with herself now. As you age, you stop comparing yourself to other people and start appreciating your own body and owning it," she said to Health.

4. Jessie James Decker

Singer Jessie James Decker enjoyed a trip to Cabo with her friends, and posted a lot of stunning photos from there. Decker posts a lot of her workouts on Instagram, including this photo of herself enjoying time on the golf course. She captioned the photo, “Just call me Tiger-ish.”

5. Maura Higgins

Reality star Maura Higgins decided to lay out in the sun, while posing in a dark green bathing suit. Higgins admits that she hasn’t always been comfortable with her body, and lost a lot of weight previously, but her family was able to get her out of this. "With the exercise, it's very easy to get obsessed with it. It got to a stage where it was actually affecting my periods; I lost my period for four months,” she reveals to the DailyMail. "It's good to have people around you that are not afraid to say these things to you. It's so important. I'm feeling so much better."

6. Tracee Ellis Ross

Actress Tracee Ellis Ross posted a video of herself enjoying time in the pool this week. Ross revealed on an Instagram video that she has started doing blood flow restriction in her strength training workouts. She wrote in the caption, “BFR or blood flow restriction training allows you to get the same results with a lighter load as you would with a heavier load. I use these for the first 10 minutes of my workout.”

7. Rebel Wilson

Actress Rebel Wilson is open about her journey with fitness and nutrition, and recently posted a new photo on Instagram showing off her impressive weight loss. Wilson’s trainer, Jono Castano, revealed the actress’ workout schedule to E! Australia, which includes four days of HIIT, and two days of weights.

8. Jennifer Aniston

Actress Jennifer Aniston posed in a white two piece outfit for her profile in The Hollywood Reporter. When it comes to her diet, Aniston says that she keeps it simple. "My general philosophy is to eat healthy. It's pretty clear: eat as much organic fruits and veggies as you can, keep sugar [intake] low, drink tons and tons of water, and get good sleep,” she told Yahoo!.

9. Paris Hilton

While on her honeymoon, Paris Hilton has shared many bathing suit photos of herself on the beach and enjoying the waters. Hilton admits to Yahoo Life that she doesn’t always has time to workout in a traditional way, so she’s found a unique alternative. "I don't work out because I just don't have time, and I'm not really into it. So when I'm getting a facial, I just lie there and this machine attaches to your body and is basically like doing a million sit-ups. You just lie down and relax, but your whole body's being worked out the whole time. I think that's an amazing hack for working out and not actually having to do anything."

10. Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks celebrated her birthday this week with a swimsuit shot on Instagram. Banks is open about her approach to eating and fitness, as well as calling out people who comment on her weight. She revealed to Women’s Health that one of her tricks is writing what she eats down. "I don't count a darn calorie. But when I'm really trying to eat healthy, I write everything down. It really holds me accountable and puts me on a healthier path."

Beverly,Hills,,Ca.,March,13,,2023:,Alison,Brie,At,TheShutterstock

To get in shape for GLOW, Alison Brie worked with trainer Jason Walsh. He shared what it was like working with the actress with SELF. “She was deadlifting I think over 165 pounds for reps. She could have been doing more but that’s the last number I can remember off the top of my head. She can crank out 11 full-body hanging pull-ups. She was doing over 300 pounds on hip thrusts, and hundreds of pounds on the sled. She would do push-ups with 50 pounds of chains on her back.”

2. Sofia Vergara

Sofia,Vergara,At,The,Los,Angeles,Premiere,Of,'once,UponShutterstock

Sofia Vergara’s trainer, Jennifer Yates, shared the actress’ fitness secrets with Marie Claire. "Typically, if we have a good filming schedule where she has availability, we'll work out between 5-7 days, which is a lot. But she takes a lot of time off when she's busy. It's fine to give yourself a break—your body comes back stronger. You have to let your body rest, even if you're working out a few days during the week. That's why we rotate with Sofia. We have days in between when she rests. If you exhaust the muscles, you're more prone to getting injured."

3. Jennifer Aniston

LOS ANGELES - JUN 10: Jennifer Aniston arrives for the Netflix 'Murder Mystery' Premiere on June 10, 2019 in Westwood, CAShutterstock

Jennifer Aniston opened up about how she improved her wellbeing to InStyle. “My level of anxiety has gone down by eliminating the unnecessary sort of fat in life that I had thought was necessary. Also realizing that you can't please everybody. And what good does that do if you're just little bits of yourself? Let's try to be the full all of who we are so we can come to the table. The way the media presents us folk in this business is like we're always trotting around the world, on beaches having fun. But there are a lot of other, less obvious things that go into it.”

4. Aubrey Plaza

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,18,,2023:,Aubrey,Plaza,At,TheShutterstock

Aubrey Plaza shared her skincare secrets in an interview with The Cut. “It’s pretty simple, especially now that Peet Rivko exists. It’s cleanser, moisturizer, oil. Done. If I feel like I’m super hormonal or I’m having breakouts — a lot of times, because I’m an actor, I have so much makeup on my face and people are putting makeup on my face all day, and sometimes it irritates my skin — I’ll have to throw in an acne product or something like that to help me out a bit.”

5. Kaley Cuoco

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,12:,Kaley,Cuoco,Arrives,For,HboísShutterstock

Kaley Cuoco works with trainer Ryan Sorensen to help her stay in shape. Sorensen talked about Cuoco’s workouts with Shape. "Her training regimen consisted of high-intensity circuit full-body training, like cardio, strength training, and lots of core twice a week. Hot yoga once a week, and a couple of days a week she would ride (cycling), which is a beast of a workout."

6. Courteney Cox

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,7:,Courteney,Cox,At,The,AmericanShutterstock

Courteney Cox shared some of her skincare secrets with GetTheGloss. “I don’t think I even thought about a moisturiser or washing my face until I was in my 30s. Now I have such a regimen especially with cleaning my skin - I use a hot towel to deep cleanse always. I would also say don’t over-pluck your eyebrows otherwise you may not have any left when you are older.”

7. Mindy Kaling

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,February,25,,2023:,Mindy,Kaling,At,TheShutterstock

Mindy Kaling shared some of her wellness secrets with TODAY. She says that walking is one of her favorite ways to stay in shape. “Sometimes I’ll be like, ‘Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let’s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram,'" she said. “So instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I’m now just deciding that I’m going to be a more active person all the time.”

8. Ellie Kemper

Ellie Kemper is all about finding time to relax. She tells Women’s Day that she likes to do this in the morning. "It usually involves just sipping coffee and breathing," she says. "Which sounds a little corny, but it is just breathing in, breathing out. It’s just having a moment of not reading anything, not going on my phone, letting my brain empty for a minute. That recharges me."

9. Cobie Smulders

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,April,13,,2015:,Cobie,Smulders,AtShutterstock

Cobie Smulders likes to do Pilates to help her stay in shape. She told StyleCaster, “I’m a big Pilates girl. And I’ve recently gotten back into dance. There’s this type of dance called PlyoJam. I like to do any exercise that has really loud music. I was Spinning for a while, but I’ve gotten back into this dance class and Pilates.”

10. Julie Bowen

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,13:,Julie,Bowen,Arrives,For,Baby2babyShutterstock

Julie Bowen likes to go outside. Specifically, she likes to run. She tells Women’s Day, "I just want to feel good, and I want my brain to feel good, and that means going outside. You don't need any equipment. You don't need anything other than this desire to take care of yourself."

11. Amy Poehler

Amy,Poehler,At,The,Los,Angeles,Premiere,Of,'the,House'Shutterstock

In an interview with The Guardian, Amy Poehler opened up about her career. She says that vulnerability is something that helps her. “I think if you’re doing your job right, you should be feeling unsure and vulnerable because it means you’re pushing yourself to try new things. Doesn’t vulnerability find its way into everything? I’ll answer the opposite, which is I certainly don’t feel invulnerable in any way at all.”

12. Mary Louise Parker

Mary-louise,Parker,At,The,Los,Angeles,Premiere,Of,"savages",HeldShutterstock

Mary Louise Parker shared some of her skincare secrets with The Bare Magazine. “I think a hefty percentage of good skin is keeping it as clean as possible,” she says. “I once heard Stevie Nicks say that no matter what else happened at night, even if she was stumbling down drunk, she made sure to clean her face. I have, more than once, forcibly pushed a friend staying the night into the bathroom to clean their face. I remember being at the Hotel Costes with my friend Nikk,i and its 4 AM, and we just got in and suddenly I became the complexion police. Now my daughter is the same way, and she’s like me in that she loves makeup but doesn’t wear a lot of it. I like Nars and Kevyn Aucoin. The Clairsonic helps a lot. I also like that Nuface device. I just started using it and I think it works. I like Skinceuticals products and Retrouve. Sunscreen I wear when it rains. I wear it every day. My mom never went in the sun. She and my sister are completely natural and to me, the most beautiful women on earth, along with my daughter of course!”

13. Jenna Fischer

Jenna Fischer tells Good Housekeeping that she’s a big fan of yoga. "When I do yoga regularly, I feel so good," says Fischer. "It's my mind, body, and spirit cleanse. After a long weekend of play dates and sporting events and kid birthday parties, I can't tell you how much I crave my Monday morning yoga class.”

14. Mayim Bialik

Mayim,Bialik,At,The,Entertainment,Weekly,Pre-sag,Party,,Chateau,Marmont,Shutterstock

Mayim Bialik opened up about her struggles with body image and an eating disorder on her podcast. "I'm trying to release the pressure of being 15 pounds lighter, which is what I, quote, 'should be,' by Hollywood standards," Bialik said. "I'm trying to release the pressure of caring that I'm wearing the clothes that make me look like those other women, even though I'm not those other women."

15. Melissa Rauch

In addition to being an actress, Melissa Rauch is also a chef, and has her own cookbook on healthy eating. She shared some of her favorite healthy foods in an interview with Parade. “Lots of whole grains, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Something that’s not in the book that I make a ton is stir-fries with tofu. That’s also quick and easy. It's tofu-based, but not necessarily tofu. Have you heard of Shirataki noodles? House Foods also makes them. They’re so great and kids think that they are eating spaghetti. It’s also got protein and is healthy for them. I love that.”

16. Terry Crews

Terry,Crews,Attends,26th,Annual,Movieguide,Awards,At,Universal,Hilton,Shutterstock

Terry Crews revealed his typical diet in an interview with Men’s Health. “When I wake up, the first thing I do is have a glass of water...and I put amino acid powder inside—I like to call it stardust. I drink that all morning and afternoon. And, then I’m off to the races.”

17. Rob Lowe

Rob,Lowe,Attends,The,Paley,Center,For,Media's,2019,PaleyfestShutterstock

Rob Lowe is open about his use of the Atkins program to help him eat healthy. "This is the way I've been eating anyway for 20 years,” he told E! Online. “Even before I started my relationship with Atkins. I've been eating the Atkins way anyway because we know that watching your carbs and watching your sugar is how most people should be eating."

18. Neil Patrick Harris

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,25:,Neil,Patrick,Harris,At,TheShutterstock

Neil Patrick Harris likes to use the Tonal home gym to help him stay fit. He explained why to AskMen.com. "It's essentially a big flatscreen TV turned on its side, it has two arms that can adjust to different lengths and heights, and then it uses electromagnetism to increase and decrease the weight. It's very challenging yet very intuitive.”

19. John Krasinski

Hollywood,,Ca.,-,May,3:,John,Krasinski,Arrives,At,TheShutterstock

To prep for his role in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, John Krasinski made sure to get in shape. He shared the process in an interview with Men’s Health. "I gotta be honest: It was brutal at times. We did tons of metabolic work, dragging sleds and all this stuff I've seen NFL players do."

20. Joel McHale

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,2:,Joel,Mchale,At,The,4thShutterstock

Joel McHale uses the 4-Hour Body Diet to help him eat healthy. He explained this in an interview with Men’s Journal. “It's a slow carb diet, so you can eat things like beans and lentils—which are carbohydrates, but they’re not the same as wheat or potatoes—and all the protein and vegetables you can. There’s also a Slow Carb App. The theory is your body goes into, not a starvation mode, but ‘Oh, we’re not getting a bunch of sugar any more,’ so we’re going to treat it accordingly. Then, once a week, you go nuts. You have a huge cheat day and that shocks your body into going ‘Oh, we’re gonna keep the metabolism going fast because this is how you eat, and we’ve gotta get all this stuff out of here.’ Then when you go right back to the slow carbs, your body is still keeping your metabolism going fast.”

The stars of Saturday Night Live are pretty fit given their late nights, afterparties and busy schedules juggling movies, TV shows and commercials in between sketches. They also each have unique approaches to wellness. Tina Fey listens to her inner-voice. Chloe Fineman walks a lot in New York and does Pilates. Cecily Strong believes in the power of 30-minute naps. Read on to see how Amy Poehler, Ana Gasteyer, Heidi Gardner and more stay in shape, mentally and physically, when they're not on stage dressed as Jan Janby or Donna Fingerneck.


1. Tina Fey

Netflix's "Girls5eva" Season 3 PremiereTaylor Hill/FilmMagic

Tina Fey was the first female head writer for SNL. She talked about her life and career to Oprah Magazine. "I feel like I am at an age where all the things I've ever thought I wanted to do, I did them. I always wanted to work at Saturday Night Live, I always wanted to have a show, I always wanted to have children. And I did that. So I feel like I'm trying to be quiet, and take things in. And listen. I'm waiting for something inside me to tell me what the next thing is I want to do."

2. Amy Poehler

CinemaCon 2024 - Big Screen Achievement Awards - ArrivalsMindy Small/FilmMagic

In an interview with Ladies’ Home Journal, Amy Poehler talked about the importance of having friendships, and says that her SNL castmates are some of her closest pals. “Most of the women in your life will outlast the men in your life. The SNL ladies – Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Tina – and I text pictures of our kids back and forth all the time. It keeps us connected. As my nanny used to say, the older you get the more important it is to know people that knew you when.”

3. Leslie Jones

Netflix Is A Joke Festival: Outside JokeJerod Harris/Getty Images

In an interview on Live With Kelly, Leslie Jones talked about her weight loss. She says that her SNL co-star, Kate McKinnon, helped her get more exercise into her life. "Every time we went to dinner she would make me walk to dinner, we would walk after dinner. And then it just started becoming—I would work out, I would do yoga, I really tried to watch what I eat. It's not always easy because I do have a sweet tooth that's a killer. But I do they best that I can."

4. Kate McKinnon

96th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Kate McKinnon shared some of her favorite things with Glamour. She says that she likes to use a Veggetti to make pasta from vegetables. “A Veggetti sounds like something you'd have to stuff in a drawer when your mother comes over, but there's nothing obscene about it. It's just a vegetable cutter that lets you slice zucchini into spaghetti. It gives you the psychological satisfaction of eating a massive bowl of pasta, but it's just a heap of squash. Your friends will be skeptical, but after they've tried your Veggetti, they will attempt to steal it, so you'll need to buy extras just in case. This is very important. (Of course, if you want pasta, do eat a massive bowl of it every once in a while.”

5. Maya Rudolph

Maya Rudolph shared her self-care secrets in an interview with Marie Claire. In it, she talked about how she gets a good night’s sleep. “When I can’t fall asleep, I drink a warm glass of Natural Vitality’s Calm supplement. 11. If I’m stressed before bed, I try to read; if I’m stressed when I wake up, I take it out on the first person I see. Is that bad?”

Kristen Wiig tells Women’s Health that she is a vegetarian. “I’m a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy.” Harvard Health states that a vegetarian diet has a lot of benefits. “Research suggests that a predominantly plant-based diet can reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes. In studies of Seventh-day Adventists, vegetarians' risk of developing diabetes was half that of nonvegetarians, even after taking BMI into account. The Harvard-based Women's Health Study found a similar correlation between eating red meat (especially processed meats, such as bacon and hot dogs) and diabetes risk, after adjusting for BMI, total calorie intake, and exercise.”

Cecily Strong makes sure to get enough sleep, and shared her secrets with Glamour. “A 30-minute nap can change your damn life,” she says. “I actually bring my airplane pillow and a sweatshirt to the set so I'm ready if we break. I've napped on my office couch, my dressing room couch, even the floor. (That wouldn't fly in most jobs, unless you do it on break—in which case, that's what empty offices are for!) My advice: Find times to nap—and don't worry if people judge you. They're probably jealous. You know I would be.”

In an interview with The Washington Post, Aidy Bryant spoke out against fat-shaming in the comedy industry. "I can think of about a million examples, and I won't name names, where sex between a plus-sized woman and a man is represented by her jumping on him and then he falls over," she said. "That's a classic. And there's something so demeaning and devastating about that to me. It feels like trying to joke it away rather than sincerely finding an actual funny moment. In a normal sex scene between two normal-sized people, you could still find comedy in that.”

Chloe Fineman shared her fitness secrets with GQ. “I will say I work out much more when I'm in LA. And then, when I'm in New York, you end up just walking. I noticed this week when I was in LA, and I was so sedentary that I was like, ‘Oh, people care so much more about their bodies here because they're not just like moving.’ Chloe's hot take. But in New York, I do like Pilates a lot. I like a Reformer class; I'm addicted to it. In New York, I also like Tracy Anderson. I like to think of Gwyneth Paltrow.”

Ego Nwodim loves to cook. She shared some of her favorite recipes with Grubstreet. “I made a lot of buttermilk biscuits. I made some Nashville hot chicken too. I tried my hand at cinnamon rolls. The first time I tried, I failed miserably. The second time, they were pretty good. But I expected better of myself. I tried my hands at pupusas, and my verdict was to leave those to the experts. I made the spicy fusilli from Jon & Vinny’s. I made a lot of Nigerian jollof rice. I’m Nigerian-American. My mother is from Nigeria. That is such a staple in Nigerian culture as far as a dish goes, so I grew up eating that. It lasts a good amount of time, so I did a lot of that. I was really going all-out.”

Heidi Gardner talked about her favorite foods in an interview with Eater. She says that she is aiming to eat healthier snacks when she shoots SNL. “I feel like I’m still figuring that out, embarrassingly so. Last year it was a lot of candy, because there were so many late nights and you’re just grabbing for something and just want a little bit of energy, and so it was a lot of gummies and Skittles. But then, you know, you don’t feel so great after. So this year, I’m trying to be a little better about packing snacks for energy — like, actual good energy. And I am also kind of a coffee and matcha fiend.”

Ana Gasteyer shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Parade. “I try to exercise regularly,” she says. “That’s something that I had fallen off the wagon on but I've recommitted myself to it and I started attaching it to pleasurable auditory experiences. Like, for example, I’m not allowed to listen to a podcast I love like Serial unless I’m on the treadmill. I have an Audible subscription and I listen to audiobooks or NPR. I live in New York and I don’t have car time to spend listening to things so tying that to working out has been incredibly positive. And it makes me not angry about being on the treadmill or the elliptical!”

Rachel Dratch revealed to The Cut that she feels grateful for her life and career. “Without sounding like a Hallmark card or whatever, I feel like I truly am in a gratitude place. It serves me a lot better. With my kid, I feel that. Career-wise, I definitely feel that. Now it’s not like I have to do comedy every night or have a million different projects on.”

14. Sasheer Zamata

Sasheer Zamata revealed to W Magazine that she likes to listen to wellness podcasts, and shared her favorite one. “I don’t listen to a ton, but I have been listening to ‎The mindbodygreen Podcast. They have a range of health and wellness episodes about eating clean, the body, dreams, and the afterlife. It doesn’t necessarily seem so cut and dry. I like that they cover things that some people may not believe in, but they bring in experts.”

15. Melissa Villaseñor

Melissa Villaseñor shared her mental health tips with Wondermind. She says that she takes care of herself by being a lot more childlike, and shared some of the ways she does so. “For me, it’s making things a little lighter, embracing the kid mind. When I take a bath, I definitely have bubbles in there, and sometimes I'll put it on my face and pretend I'm Santa—and I'm alone doing this. You take things a little further and just make it not so serious. I feel like [having] a lot of colors [around helps] too. I even got myself some balloons for no reason. I lean into that: How can I make a day wacky? Or sillier? More joyful? I like leaning into those things.”

When Vanessa Bayer was a teenager, she was diagnosed with leukemia. She opened up about getting through it to CNBC. “I used humor a lot to get through,” she says. “It was something that I think made me sort of go into comedy because, you know, my friends and I could laugh about it all so much and so I think it really helped me get through that time.”

17. Nasim Pedrad

In addition to her role on SNL, Nasim Pedrad also played the title character in the sitcom Chad, which she also created. Pedrad talked about fighting for the show to Glamour. “There were so many times I was politely encouraged to write something else. But I believed in Chad, and I didn’t give up until I found a home for my vision. There’s a saying that goes, ‘They’re going to cancel you anyway, so make the show you really want to make.’ I’ve been living by that, and am thrilled for people to finally get to meet this jarringly awkward young man.”

Sarah Sherman talked about how her career in comedy began to Paste Magazine. “I think there’s a barrier of entry with stand-up because of age,” she says. “I didn’t really know where you could do stand-up that wasn’t a bar. But I remember I couldn’t believe how awesome it was. It was so empowering to be 18, 19, whatever, and be like, ‘I wanna go do something, so I’m gonna go do it. I don’t live in my parents’ house anymore.’”

Molly Shannon shared some of her favorite products with New York Magazine. She says that she is working on drinking more water, which is why she has a water bottle. “Vanessa Bayer and I are both into this thing called the Venture Pal water bottle. It has little encouraging things on it, like ‘Good morning!,’ ‘You got it,’ and ‘Keep chugging,’ and there are these lines on it, so I think it makes me drink the water. Both Vanessa and I had this on [the I Love This for You] set, and so everybody else got them too. We’re always drinking water. I would much prefer to drink coffee, but this makes me drink water. I try to drink one full bottle a day.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus talked about having a work-life balance to FOX News. "Of course you can't have it all. That's absurd! It doesn't mean you shouldn't pursue what you desire. It's not possible to do and have everything all the time. So you have to make choices. And I don't think that's an antifeminist statement. I don't mean you have to sacrifice who you are or cower in a corner because of some stupid-ass glass ceiling. But if you realize that, then I think you can free yourself up to prioritize."

Ana Zelu is a professional model and social media influencer. She is known for her content in nature. Zelu recently shared a post on Instagram of herself on a surfboard in the ocean. She captioned it, “Yesterday was such a fun shoot, I just had to share these with you 🤍 🛥️But picture number #4?? That photobomb totally got me 😂 Which picture is your favorite ?🌊”

She Swims

As you can see from her post, Zelu likes to swim. The Mayo Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

She Doesn't Compare Herself to Others

Zelu shares a lot of her thoughts on Instagram. In this post, she talked about no longer comparing herself to others. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today’s contemplation led me to a profound understanding of the detrimental impact comparison has on our lives. It’s like a silent intruder, subtly creeping into our thoughts and poisoning our perception of ourselves and others. It’s a universal struggle, one that weighs heavily on the hearts of many. I’ve come to realize that comparison is the ultimate thief of joy. It robs us of our ability to appreciate our own journey and achievements, as we constantly measure ourselves against an idealized version of others. I’ve resolved to break free from its grasp. We should choose to celebrate our own unique path, recognizing that each step forward is a triumph in itself. Rather than fixating on external benchmarks set by others, I’m focusing on personal growth and development. Whether it’s through learning new skills, cultivating gratitude, or simply practicing self-compassion, every effort counts.”

She Hikes

Zelu is seen on a hike in the previous Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking is very beneficial. “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

She’s Resilient

Resilience is another important thing to Zelu. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Dear Diary 💭📝, I witnessed something truly remarkable that touched my heart deeply. It’s amazing how people can go through the toughest storms in life and yet remain gentle, patient, and kind. I saw someone who faced challenges that would break most people, yet they chose to respond with grace and humility. Their ability to stay calm and compassionate in the face of adversity is nothing short of admirable. It made me realize the beauty of resilience – the strength to keep going even when life throws its hardest punches. These individuals not only endure the storms but also emerge from them with a spirit that shines brighter than before. Their example reminds me of the power of kindness and the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the darkest of times. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is beauty to be found 💕🫶”

She’s Accepted Herself

Zelu talked about the importance of acceptance in this Instagram post’s caption. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but amidst it all, I feel like I’ve taken a step closer to the right direction. Letting go of the past is like shedding a heavy coat I’ve been carrying for far too long. It’s not easy to release the memories, the pain, the regrets, but today, I made a choice to loosen the grip they had on me. It’s like taking a deep breath after being underwater for too long—refreshing and liberating. Forgiving myself has been a journey filled with tears and moments of self-doubt. But today, I finally understood that I deserve the same forgiveness and understanding I give to others. It’s like giving myself a warm hug, wrapping myself in kindness and acceptance.”

Regular exercise and a healthy diet can bring many benefits, including more energy, happiness, health, and even a longer life. It's something we all know but we always make excuses for. So hopefully you can start moving your body little by little and eat a little better and obviously enjoy something delicious on the weekends 😋.”

She Does Squats

In the previous Instagram video, Viciconte is seen doing squats. Allina Health reports that squats are very beneficial to do. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Viciconte is also seen doing hip thrusts in her Instagram video. Gymless states that the exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Hip thrusts, as a compound movement, aid in increasing lower body strength and power, enhancing athletic abilities such as running, jumping, and powerlifting. By strengthening the posterior chain muscles, you can enhance your posture and lower the risk of back pain and muscle strain. Strong glutes and hamstrings contribute to hip and knee stability, minimizing injury risks in sports and daily life.”

Viciconte is seen using a stationary bike in the previous Instagram video. Doing this can help strengthen your muscles. Penn State PRO Wellness explained, “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes. If you use a bicycle with handles, you’ll also be able to work your upper body muscles, including your biceps, triceps, and shoulders.”

She Runs

Viciconte shared this Instagram video of herself working out. In it, she is seen doing running exercises. Viciconte captioned it, “When we exercise, our body releases endorphin, a natural substance produced by the brain during and after physical activity. The release of endorphin, also known as the 'joy hormone', helps you relax, reduces stress, anxiety and improves your mood. I always say that it's never too late to start moving, so you know that tomorrow you have no excuse 💪🏻”
