Biles revealed that she isn’t the biggest snacker, but when she does so, she makes sure to grab a healthy option. "I don't really snack too too much because I'm always at the gym, but if I do, I try to snack on some fruit."

2. She Gets Enough Sleep

Sleep is very important to Biles. She tells Women’s Health that she likes to go to bed early most days. Biles says that she likes to wake up early, so naturally, she has to go to sleep at an earlier time. "Earlier than 10:30 p.m. is my target time,” Biles says. “I'm usually in bed by 9:30 p.m., so I'm asleep before then."

3. She’s Not Afraid To Be Vulnerable

Mental health is extremely important to Biles, specifically being open and vulnerable with people. She notably bowed out of some events at the 2021 Olympics to take care of herself.

It can be difficult to avoid reading comments on social media, but Biles says that she has learned to do so. "I also don't look at comments or anything just because I'm grateful and I love everything about myself,” she said to POPSugar. “I'm proud of who I am inside and out. That's definitely helped me not think about it."

Simone Biles in a bathing suit says “Only BS I need is beach & sun 💚🏝☀.” She’s posting a series of swimsuit photos online, clearly having a blast of a 4th of July weekend. “👙🫀🌸🍧🎟🎀💕,” she captioned one of the photos. “Living for a living,” she captioned another.

1. She Has Learned to Put Herself First

Biles memorably put her mind/body connection before her work, bowing out of certain competitions to focus on her mental health. “I feel like I learned the most about myself during Tokyo,” Biles told USA TODAY Sports. “How courageous, how brave I am. Because I always like to fake bravery. But I really think that solidified me being brave, speaking up for myself and just putting myself first.” She added: “A lot of things that I would have never experienced or believed in as much … if that experience didn't happen.”

2. She Does Not Track Her Eating

When it comes to dieting or calorie counting: "I do not track anything," she tells Women's Health. "I eat what I feel good with and try not to overeat or stuff myself because I'm always at the gym." She added: "For gymnasts, in particular, [tracking] can lead to health problems and eating issues, so I just eat what I know I can and should."

3. She Eats Oatmeal

"I wake up so early before practice, which is at seven, so sometimes I'll grab a quick bite and sometimes I won't," she told Women’s Health. If she does, she’ll sometimes grab an oatmeal. “Oatmeal contains soluble fiber, which reduces your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the ‘bad’ cholesterol. Soluble fiber is also found in such foods as kidney beans, Brussels sprouts, apples and pears,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Soluble fiber can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. Five to 10 grams or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your LDL cholesterol. One serving of a breakfast cereal with oatmeal or oat bran provides 3 to 4 grams of fiber. If you add fruit, such as a banana or berries, you'll get even more fiber.”

4. She’s Often at the Gym

“Regular exercise can help you control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers, and strengthen your bones and muscles. But if you haven't exercised for some time and you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor before starting a new fitness routine,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When you're designing your personal fitness program, consider your fitness goals. Think about your fitness likes and dislikes, and note your personal barriers to fitness. Then consider practical strategies for keeping your fitness program on track.”

5. She Does Endurance Training

“Endurance exercise is one of the four types of exercise along with strength, balance and flexibility,” says the American Heart Association. “They don’t all need to be done every day, but variety helps keep the body fit and healthy, and makes exercise interesting.…Also called aerobic exercise, endurance exercise includes activities that increase your breathing and heart rate such as walking, jogging, swimming, biking and jumping rope.”

Simone Biles is “livin bikini loca.” The gymnast shared some photos over the long Thanksgiving weekend of herself in a tropical locale, perhaps proof of her motto for this year: “2021. having the courage to take care & put myself first." How does she stay so fit while keeping so busy? Read on to see 7 ways Simone Biles 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. This is How She Eats

Regarding her food intake: "I do not track anything," she tells Women's Health. "I eat what I feel good with and try not to overeat or stuff myself because I'm always at the gym." She added: "For gymnasts, in particular, [tracking] can lead to health problems and eating issues, so I just eat what I know I can and should."

2. She Focuses on Her Mental Health

Biles said in October she’s been “trying to navigate her own unique mental health journey.” “I definitely feel like it’s been a relief [to speak openly about her emotions] but it’s not easy to go through it,” Biles said during a Today show interview. “Because I try to be strong not only for other people but also myself, but sometimes there are weaknesses in strength and that’s OK, and it’s OK not to be OK, and I’ve taught myself that.”

3. She Has Cross-Trained

Cross training—mixing disciplines—can be effective, as can interval training. “t's not as complicated as you might think. Interval training is simply alternating short bursts (about 30 seconds) of intense activity with longer intervals (about 1 to 2 minutes) of less intense activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “For instance, if your exercise is walking and you're in good shape, you might add short bursts of jogging into your regular brisk walks. If you're less fit, you might alternate leisurely walking with periods of faster walking. For example, if you're walking outdoors, you could walk faster between certain mailboxes, trees or other landmarks.”

4. She Swims

During cross-training, Biles sometimes swims a mile. "Swimming is easy on the joints, and it's very good for both cardiac health and your core strength. And it also can give you really excellent strength around the shoulders, and hips and knees," says Dr. Matthew Crowe, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert. "Swimmers need strong legs and need strong arms. But what really protects people from injuries are core muscles ― the abs, the lower back muscles and all the muscles around the shoulder blades that are stabilizing the shoulder blade to prevent injury."

5. She Downs Protein

"I wake up so early before practice, which is at seven, so sometimes I'll grab a quick bite and sometimes I won't," she says. Sometimes she’ll have oatmeal or fruit or a protein shake. "I love having a Core Power Protein Shake after a workout," she told Women’s Health. "Usually I drink half after the first practice and half after the second practice. One of my favorite flavors at the moment is vanilla. It always changes, but it's currently vanilla."

6. This is Her Cheat Meal

"If I'm feeling like a little bit of a less healthy meal, I get pizza or fettuccine Alfredo with chicken," she told Women’s Health. "I really like home restaurants that are in the area because I feel like I get to be closer with them. I'm not picky. I'll try any new restaurant."

Simone Biles is living her best life. She’s recently engaged, and she’s doing ads for Subway. And she’s also spending time by the pool. Biles posted a new photo on Instagram of herself standing in the water, while wearing an over the shoulder, white one-piece. She captioned the photo, “Happy gal.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She’s Prioritizing Her Wellness

In 2021, Biles told People that the pandemic allowed her to reassess her life. Specifically, she started to make her wellness a priority. "This past year has really been about taking a pause and trying to focus on all the good things in life. I've slowed down a bit and been able to take more time for overall wellness.” To cope during these tough times, "Regular physical activity and exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve mood. Find an activity that includes movement, such as dance or exercise apps. Get outside, such as a nature trail or your own backyard," says the Mayo Clinic. "Choose a well-balanced diet. Avoid loading up on junk food and refined sugar. Limit caffeine as it can aggravate stress, anxiety and sleep problems."

2. She Uses A Jade Roller
