It’s been less than three months since Shay Mitchell welcomed her second daughter, Rome, and she’s already showing off her flat abs in a swimsuit! The Pretty Little Liars and You star flaunted her fabulous figure on social media over the weekend, wearing a yellow bathing suit while vacationing with her family in Italy. How does the actress maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 7 ways Shay Mitchell 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 Sets Goals

Goal setting helps Shay stay on track. In early 2021 she revealed that after spending 2020 trying to “feel fine,” she was going to make 2021 the year she became the healthiest version of herself. “For me that came in the form of comfort food, comfort clothes and throwing my fitness routine out the window. And that was okay…for awhile. They’re called unprecedented times for a reason. But I also learned about physical and mental self-care, and made a pact with myself that 2021 would be different. I wanted to focus on myself again, because I’m the best version of myself for Atlas - and everyone else - when I take care of myself first,” she wrote on social media.

2. She Exercises

Shay is a big fan of exercise. “A doable time frame 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks,” she wrote in 2021. “A clear start, a clear finish and a something that I could totally commit to. I have loved getting up these last four weeks and having a routine and a challenge to start the day. I feel more healthy, energetic and engaged…which makes a better me.”

3. Her Food Philosophy? “Everything in Moderation”

"My food philosophy is everything in moderation," Shay told Women’s Health. "Truly, I'm not one who believes in diets." She also tries to set a healthy standard for her daughter. "I want her to be conscious about what she's eating and where she gets it from. We have been taking her to the farmers market, and I like her knowing that this food came from a specific place,.”

4. She Balances Food and Exercise

According to Shay “it’s all about balance,” when it comes to diet and exercise. “A lot of people that know me know that I absolutely love food, pizza in particular. I work out not only to balance food, but also to keep my mind focused. And for me, that comes in many different forms. It can be taking a walk outside, boxing, or going to dance. Anything physical has such a positive impact on people; the dopamine and serotonin that get released when you work out—afterward, you feel amazing,” she told Byrdie.

5. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Shay does a lot of different workouts. “I have to switch it up because I get bored, so I’ll try different classes,” she said. “Cardio for me is a spin class. I think it’s great. I get so amped up with other people in the room, and there’s just a really good energy about it. So I’ll usually start with a spin class, then it will be something like weights or working out with my amazing trainer—we do a mix of Pilates and leg toning. And then I’ll go take a Body by Simone class. There are so many amazing classes here in L.A., but my favorite is boxing. I love it because there is the cardio at the beginning, and then we’re sparring afterward and then we do stretching and weights.”

6. She Hydrates

Shay understands the importance of hydration, especially when she is working out a lot. “I drink a lot of water,” she revealed to Byrdie. “I try to opt out of coffee and drink green tea instead.”

7. She Squeezes in Workouts

One way Shay makes sure to get a workout in? Brining a jump rope around with her. “Just taking a skipping rope with you wherever you are is such a good idea because it’s such an amazing workout. It’s the easiest, and I can bring it with me anywhere. And you only need a small amount of space,” she told Byrdie.

1. She Swims

Brown loves to swim as a way to stay in shape. Even if it’s cold out, she’ll still go in the water. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in an outdoor pool in the snow. She captioned the post, “The best feeling.” "Are you ready to take the plunge and try a new fitness activity? How about water exercise? Also known as aquatics, water exercise is one of the best non-impact fitness activities around and just about anybody can participate. Pregnant women, the elderly or overweight, individuals with arthritis or those recovering from an injury can all benefit from the wide variety of aquatics classes currently available," says ACE Fitness.

2. She Got In Shape For Love Island

Before making her debut on the show Love Island, Brown made sure to get in shape. She broke down her process to The Sun. “I hired a personal trainer for weight training, then would spend the rest sweating away on the treadmill,” she explained.

3. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Being in the public eye, Brown has had to deal with body shaming. However, she tells The Sun that she is confident in herself, despite all the comments. “What the shamers need to realize is that there's a difference between someone who is unhealthy and overweight, and someone who's just a normal size,” she said. “I'm perfectly fit and happy now — just as I was before Love Island.”

4. She Stays Humble

For Brown, humility is key. She tells Glamour that while she’s confident in herself, she still stays humble. “No one is a ten out of ten. Except maybe Beyoncé. Don’t go in there thinking you are the be all and end all."

5. She Values Her Friendships

While Brown made her debut on a dating show, she didn’t just go on there to find love. She tells Glamour that her friendships are just as important to her as her romantic relationships. "Friendships to me are just as important as relationships. I know it’s not a friendship show, it’s a love show. I’m nervous about how the girls will react.”

1. She Drinks a Coffee Protein Shake in the Morning

Shay drinks her first meal of the day. “I’m not a breakfast person, so for me, it’s usually my coffee-protein shake — an odd concoction of cold brew, ice, two scoops of protein, and a handful of spinach. Some days, I’ll start with celery juice or tea and water with lemon,” she recently dished to The Cut.

2. She Lifts “Heavier” Weights

Shay loves exercising and recently started weightlifting. “I love working out and look forward to the gym. Since having kids, I’ve started getting into weights. It’s invigorating to lift heavier than before. I’m an Aries — we’re very competitive with ourselves and other people,” she told the publication.

3. She Works on Building a “Bum”

Shay does a lot of glute work. “These days, I love doing anything for the bum. On TikTok, I’m seeing all these girls with the little scrunch pants, and I bought a pair for myself and … it didn’t do anything. That’s how I knew it was still time to build a bum,” she told The Cut.

4. She Goes to Therapy”

Shay doesn’t let the haters get to her, as she has been working on hr issues for years with the help of a professional. “If you’re just being negative to be negative, that never has any effect on me, because I know that those people are hurting themselves. I had that experience being in high school. I’ve been bullied. I’ve gone through that, and I’ve had enough therapists to tell me it has nothing to do with me. So at this point, being in my mid-30s, anything just negative to be negative will never affect me. I can promise you that,” she told The Cut.

5. She Drinks Tea Before Bed

Shay practices sleep hygiene. “Before I go to bed, I’ll have sleep tea or something like that, because it’s sometimes difficult for me to turn off my mind,” she told The Cut.

And, because of that, just my body growing and stretching–having a scar from my C-section–I had to look at my body in a whole different way and I really connected with Gold Bond’s campaign of ‘My Scar, My Story’ where it’s encouraging people to share their real skin stories. Embrace their imperfections, embrace their scars.”

2. She Embraces Herself

Morgan tells Hidden Remote that she is all about embracing herself. “After I gave birth, my whole mindset changed into ‘What is my definition of beauty?’ and scars are beautiful. I just really started embracing motherhood and that came with embracing who I am and my body regardless of any imperfections. So that’s why this campaign is super important to me and why I’m hoping it’ll encourage other people to share their scar story and their real skin stories.”

Morgan captioned the post, “Paradise is all about perspective, we are always in paradise but there’s something truly magical about grounding/journaling on a white sand beach and releasing whatever no longer serves me into the ocean. 🌊 Forever grateful to be co creating this life. Highly recommend this resort it was stunning and super accommodating if you have lil ones.”

5. She Speaks Out

During the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, Morgan spoke up about how black people are portrayed in the media, and how black characters are portrayed on sitcoms. She sent out this Tweet saying, "Tired of how black people are portrayed in Media, tired of us being portrayed as thugs, dangerous or angry scary people. Tired of us also being used as side kick non dimensional characters to our white leads. Or only used in the ads for diversity but not actually in the show. It starts with the media."

1. She Works Hard

Shak opened up about her career in an interview with ASOS.com. She says that she makes sure to work hard when it comes to her career. “I don’t think people know the amount of work that goes into it. Don’t get me wrong- it’s so worth it. I absolutely love it and I’m so lucky that I get to do something I enjoy every day but it’s a lot more work than people think. I shoot content almost every day and when I have time I also try to reply to people’s Messages, edit videos etc.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Shak makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared her secrets in an interview with ASOS.com. “I recently tried the Laura Mercier Body Wash and fell in love with the formula and scent; I’m obsessed with skincare, so I love when I find something new and especially when it smells like a dessert. I’m also loving Bondi Sands Self-Tanning Foam and the Too Faced Gingerbread Extra Spicy Limited Edition Eyeshadow Palette – the colours are dreamy!”

3. She Loves Fruit

Shak shared some of her favorite healthy snacks in an interview with The Fix. “Strawberries and melon if I’m having a healthy moment.” Fruit has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states, “The higher the average daily intake of fruits and vegetables, the lower the chances of developing cardiovascular disease. Compared with those in the lowest category of fruit and vegetable intake (less than 1.5 servings a day), those who averaged 8 or more servings a day were 30% less likely to have had a heart attack or stroke.”

4. This Is How She Mixes Up Her Style

Shak has amazing style, and she shared her secrets in her ASOS.com interview. "My day-to-night style can be switched up by simply adding some extra accessories, like chunky gold necklaces and rings. For a more elevated evening look, I’ll add a pair of heels and add a clutch bag. I’ll sometimes even throw on heels and a blazer with my joggers.”

5. This Is Her Beauty Tip

Shak shared some of her biggest makeup and beauty tips in her ASOS.com interview. "I get asked a lot about my lipstick choice... I religiously use MAC’s Kinda Sexy Matte Lipstick paired with the brand’s Spice Lip Pencil and a good lip gloss. Once I’ve applied my mascara, without dipping the brush back in the tube, I use the excess to lightly brush over my brows in an upward motion to make them darker and fluffy.”

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

She Builds Confidence

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

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

Water Skiing

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

Morning Workouts

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

Self-Care

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

She Walks and Hikes

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

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

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

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

Hiking

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

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

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

Emsculpt NEO

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