Sarah juices every morning, revealing to The/Thirty that she starts her day off with a coffee followed by veggie juice. “My favorite thing is to have a green juice,” she said. “I go every weekend to the farmers market and I get fresh kale, spinach, celery, and lettuces and I blend it all together. That's my favorite thing before I work out.”

2. Do Power Plate Workouts

“I love PlateFit and the feeling of being on a Power Plate,” Gellar revealed when asked about her go-to workout. “I love how quickly I can work out and get such a great exercise.” She also engages in some other forms of exercise. “I love Pilates because it centers me and it also strengthens my body, but I also love being outside, so swimming, hiking, anything like that is great as well.”

3. Get Enough Rest

When asked about her “beauty/self-care must-have,” Sarah offered up an answer that doesn’t cost any money. “It's probably sleep because I need it and I'm very cranky without it,” she revealed.

4. Don’t Pay Attention to Small Weight Gains

Sarah avoids focusing on the numbers on the scale. “I don't believe in trying to trick your body into things,” she told Health. “I eat healthy, I exercise, I love food—but I don't like junk food. I mean, were women. We go up by five pounds, we lose it, depending on the water, the moon, your cycle, whatever. So I just try to maintain.”

5. Firm Up with Cool Sculpting

Sarah isn’t interested in going under the knife at this point in her life. However, she recently revealed to The Guardian that CoolSculpting is one of her go-to treatments. “It was the easiest 30 minutes of my life,” she said. “I just got to lie on a comfy table and read my book. The treatment didn’t hurt, it just felt cold for a few seconds and then I didn’t feel anything. It was very peaceful. I was just happy to have a few minutes to myself, and then I got to leave feeling better about myself – a win-win,” she continued. “I don’t weigh myself, I don’t measure myself but I could tell within a week how my clothing was feeling and fitting, how my jeans were buttoning back up. I was like, ‘I’m gonna go to the gym and work even harder now.’ It gave me my confidence back in such an easy and noninvasive way.”

1. She Takes Days Off

Gellar always tries to get a workout in. However, she isn’t afraid to take a day off when she needs it. She tells Self that she takes days off when she feels run-down or tired. "I do whatever I can whenever I can, but if I'm tired, it's okay to just be tired," she says. "Your brain needs a rest now and then. Research has found that taking breaks can improve your mood, boost your performance and increase your ability to concentrate and pay attention," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Cooks

Gellar is an avid chef. She loves to cook meals for her family. She tells Express that she increased the amount of cooking she has done when the pandemic hit. “One of the good things that’s come out of Covid is that we’ve had lots of time to cook our favourite food because nobody is racing to get home in time for dinner.”

3. She Cool-Sculpts

After having her second child, Gellar found it hard to lose the baby weight. She revealed to Express that she worked out a lot, but still couldn’t lose it. She says that this, and her busy schedule are what made her decide to try Cool-Sculpting. “I just got to lie on a comfy table and read my book. The treatment didn’t hurt, it just felt cold for a few seconds and then I didn’t feel anything. It was very peaceful. I was just happy to have a few minutes to myself, and then I got to leave feeling better about myself – a win-win.”

4. She’s Motivated By Her Clothes

Gellar doesn’t like to weigh herself. She tells Express that she looks to how her clothes fit to motivate her. “I don’t weigh myself, I don’t measure myself, but I could tell within a week how my clothing was feeling and fitting, how my jeans were buttoning back up,” she reveals. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna go to the gym and work even harder now.’ It gave me my confidence back in such an easy and noninvasive way.”

5. She Makes Green Juices

Gellar revealed some of her wellness secrets to WhoWhatWear. She says that she likes to make green juices before she works out, and revealed her recipe to the website. “I go every weekend to the farmers market and I get fresh kale, spinach, celery, and lettuces and I blend it all together. That's my favorite thing before I work out.” "Fiber is important to heart health, digestive health and weight control. Higher fiber intakes reduce chronic disease risk, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and come cancers, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. High fiber intakes have also been associated with lower body weight. Daily fiber recommendations include 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. Just one cup of cooked spinach contains more than 4 grams of fiber," says the University of Rhode Island.

Buffy has gone from killing vampires to killing it in the gym. The Emmy award winning actress and producer is known for her healthy and fit lifestyle, often inspiring fans to do the same. And she showed it off today in a bathing suit. “Weekend me is more fun… weekend me away from home… the most fun,” she captioned the shot. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see how Sarah Michelle Gellar 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 Doesn’t Like the Scale

"You can't live your life by the scale," she said. "We don't even have one in our house. I've never believed in them, because your weight fluctuates. It's more about how my clothing fits than a number. Besides, if you deny yourself everything because you're so focused on the mirror or the scale, then when do you get to enjoy life?" She recognizes that it’s unhealthy to check the scale every two seconds and beat yourself up. Seeing that number fluctuate might knock you off track and really it’s just bound to happen.

2. She Was Her Own Stunt Woman

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer was still running, she loved performing her own action stunts and would often train doing workouts like gymnastics, kickboxing, and martial arts. She still enjoys an intense cardio and strength training workout today, but now she goes for TRX, dance, Pilates, and yoga currently.

3. She Loves Aerial Yoga

Aerial yoga may look graceful and easy, but don’t be fooled. It is a challenging workout and those positions while in the silks are difficult. According to Aerial Yoga Academy, there are various physical, fitness, and mental health benefits. Aerial yoga has been said to improve blood circulation, help with digestion, and spine decompression. It can improve balance, improve focus, and strengthen and tone core muscles among other benefits.

4. She Gets Fit With Friends

Sarah Michelle Gellar uses the buddy system, occasionally working out with friends like Shannen Doherty. They choose workouts like dance to break a sweat. “I think I killed her,” joked Doherty as she panned over Sarah laying on the floor in a video after their workout. "You don't necessarily have to always get to the gym," Danielle Johnson, a wellness physical therapist with the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program. tells the Mayo Clinic. "The one thing I always like to really tell my busy executives, busy moms, busy dads ... that every little bit counts," Johnson says. "So don't ever tell yourself, well, I only have 10 minutes. Ten minutes is great...Taking a walk with a friend for a meeting can be a wonderful thing."

5. She Pushes Herself to Not Be Lazy

It’s so important to make time for health and wellness, even if you’re not in the mood. No one ever regrets working out after they’ve done it. Just push yourself to develop these healthy habits. "I do whatever I can whenever I can, but if I'm tired, it's okay to just be tired," she said. "You know what's really annoying, though? How much better I feel when I do wake up early enough to work out!"

Gellar wrote a cookbook, Stirring Up Fun with Food, with healthy spins on the indulgences she loves, like asparagus fries and cheese muffins. "I've always been a crafty person," she says, "but with food, my expertise has always been in the eating department rather than the cooking department.

I love dessert, I'm not afraid to love dessert," she told Well+Good. "I think we all should have beautiful, sweet things. I've never believed in cutting all that out." "Obviously I'm known for being athletic, but I've always indulged in dessert," she says. "I would rather have one good, delicious bite of whatever that sweet thing is than a junk-filled trendy version of the opposite. It's all part of the overall holistic approach to how I take care of my body."

Gellar has supported her Cruel Intentions co-star and friend Selma Blair through Blair’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis. “This is my dear friend @selmablair,” Gellar wrote on Instagram. “Last night she stood on the world stage for the first time, since being diagnosed with MS. And later this week, she is taking an even bigger step, and speaking publicly on @goodmorningamerica (with, my girl crush @robinrobertsgma ) To say I’m proud, would be a gross understatement. When I have a cold, I want to hide from the world under my covers. But not Selma. She is facing this diagnosis, the way she faces everything, with dignity, grace and head on. I know the support and encouragement that she has received on this platform has truly been a source of strength for her. This is not an easy journey, but Selma will not let this define her.”

While you were unwrapping presents, many celebrities were packing their suitcases, off to far-flung and sunny locales for the holiday break—and they made sure to bring their swimwear. How did Nicole Scherzinger, Dua Lipa, Katharine McPhee, Sarah Michelle Gellar and many more spend their time—and how to they stay so fit? Read on to see 10 stars who have stayed 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. Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger is always looking fit in her photos. And her boyfriend Thom Evans “is always there for the vibe checks,” she captioned one post near Christmas. In it, she and her partner are on the beach in bathing suits, dancing to the throbbing tune of MizOrMac’s Bites The Dust. Her wellness advice: "Not been feeling the greatest lately, so got outta my head and sweat it out…. No one is gonna do it for you. So DO YOU and DO IT FOR YOU. Stay strong family, find the good light and keep shining.”

2. Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa posted a series of swimsuit selfies from the beach, captioning them "see ya in 2022". Earlier this week, she posted more swimsuit photos, “living on island time.” She works out first thing in the morning and tries to remain authentic to herself. "Being a female pop artist, you have to spend a lot of time proving yourself. People think I’m just this ‘industry thing’ but every song I’ve written is real, authentic and mine,” she told Refinery29.

3. Savannah Guthrie

In honor of Guthrie’s 50th birthday, colleague Al Roker posted a photo of the two in the pool together. “I am so thrilled my dear friend @savannahguthrie is now halfway to a #smuckersjar I can’t wait to see what the next 50 bring!! #happybirthday Savvie G!!” he wrote. “I’ve never once felt good about how I looked on the outside,” she told Health for its May cover in 2019. “I think all of us women spend so much time not feeling like we measure up. And what a waste of energy. I’m not there yet, but that’s my goal.”

4. Katharine McPhee

McPhee made headlines this week twice—once when her husband, David Foster, posted a swimsuit picture of her with the caption “what baby”—a reference to her fit postpartum body—and then later when she clapped back at haters of his image and caption. She said: “ok the press around my husbands photo he posted of me is so dumb… so I hope this photo helps lol. I’m sorry but we are not sorry. And for all of you who can’t deal with it maybe this helps. I’ve struggled with weight my whole 20s and 30. I’ve gone up and down 10 times over. Does that make you feel better? There is nothing wrong with that -most people do. I lost this baby weight without dieting. Zero. Diets are the worst and I’ve had zero pressure from anyone. I’ve let me body do its thing and found a great workout. That’s it. And guess what? I’ll probably gain weight again at some point too. Who cares? BUT people freaking out about what my husband captioned seriously get a life... Stop being so offended by what people post who have zero impact on your life and move on. Maybe you should have more of an attitude of like, let’s say… “oh that’s nice he thinks his wife is hot.” I cannot with this overly sensitive society right now. But as Taylor Swift said haters gonna hate. byyeeee”

5. Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union seemed to be on an endless vacation in paradise, posting multiple images in swimsuits. “In addition to doing 15 to 20 minutes of cardio daily, Union credits her toned body to a regular combination of strength training and Pilates,” says Marie Claire. "I'm not a morning person, but I have to work out early because of my schedule.”

6. Catherine Zeta-Jones

“Sun’s out,” Zeta-Jones captioned a photo of herself in a bathing suit. How does she stay fit? “We’re big on family meals ... we stop and we sit down and we have lunch,” she once said. "Something light that doesn't weigh me down too much." Such as: "A spinach-arugula mix of leaves, pine nuts, tomatoes…I sometimes put a little blue cheese…I like to throw some dried cranberries in," she says.

7. Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a few swimsuit photos this week, and why not; she looks fantastic at age 44, and she had “vacation mode activated.” “Sometimes, I’m so tired at the end of the day I just want to go to bed, but I have to take time for myself to take a bath, read a book, or catch up with my friends so I don’t lose myself in the minutiae of the day,” she tells Bustle. In the morning: “Coffee. Sometimes a little Stevia and that’s it. It makes up for my daughter. She orders those ridiculous Starbucks secret menu things and I’m, like, mortified. I’ll just take my iced coffee. I pretend I don’t know her at Starbucks.”

8. Molly Sims

The model frequently posts photos looking great in swimwear, and this week was no exception. She stays lean by keeping it green: "I'll do either a salmon salad with butter lettuce or mesclun greens and black olives plus, sweet potatoes for heartiness and roasted almonds for crunch," she tells Women’s Health. "I love a hearty salad."

9. Emma Hernan

Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan celebrated her birthday in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. She stays healthy by eating right, and launched her own vegan food company. “For many Americans, meals center around the meat. After all the Department of Agriculture reports that 222 pounds of meat are sold per person per year in the U.S. But when researchers asked nearly 70,000 volunteers about their diets, then tracked them over time, they found lower cancer rates among people who didn't eat meat at all,” reports the Mayo Clinic. “In fact, vegans — those who don't eat any animal products including fish, dairy or eggs — appeared to have the lowest rates of cancer of any diet. Next in line were vegetarians, who avoid meat but may eat fish or foods that come from animals, such as milk or eggs.”

10. Helena Christensen

The supermodel looked great in a bathing suit. Her secret? "Sprint, don't run, because that immediately sparks your metabolism and stuns your body by engaging your muscle groups in a very explosive way," she told Bazaar. "I can't run for 40 minutes at the same pace, listening to music. I will do 20 minutes and then I'm dying. I don't do the long, methodical routines of swimming 40 laps either. I want to be in the ocean fighting waves, not being in the pool staring at the clock and only seven minutes has passed when I'm already exhausted."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, 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 or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
