She’s spoken out about inequalities and sexual abuse. She’s been praised by both Zac Efron and Taylor Swift. And she’s shown off her figure in an incredible series of swimsuit photos, yesterday on Instagram. Read on to see 6 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 Bikini Photos!


1. She Puts Her Mental Health First

In the 2021 Olympics, Biles made waves by announcing that she’d be sitting out of some of the Olympic events, due to having mental health issues. She said in a statement, "I have to focus on my mental health. I just think mental health is more prevalent in sports right now. We have to protect our minds and our bodies and not just go out and do what the world wants us to do.” In a sport like gymnastics that requires a lot of focus and has a lot of complicated moves, Biles’ decision made sense.

2. She Eats A Lot of Protein

Biles naturally has to eat a healthy diet in order to stay in shape. She revealed in a Buzzfeed video that she eats a lot of protein. “My diet is pretty simple, a lot of proteins, fish, chicken, vegetables,” she said. Biles also told Women’s Health that when she does cook, she makes a lot of protein heavy meals. “If I cook, though, it’s usually pasta, or chicken or salmon in the air fryer, oven or on the grill.”

3. She Indulges Once In A While

Even when she’s training, Biles isn’t afraid of indulging once in a while. She told Buzzfeed, “Outside of the gym, my cheat meal would be pizza.” Biles also makes sure to both eat healthy and indulge, even when she’s not going to the gym. “On the weekends, I’ll have some protein waffles with chocolate chips, some eggs or even make cinnamon rolls,” she told Women’s Health. “Because I might not have to be at the gym, I can actually take the time to make breakfast.”

4. She Doesn’t Track Her Food

Biles tells Women’s Health that she isn’t a fan of counting calories or tracking her food. “I do not track anything. I eat what I feel good with and try not to overeat or stuff myself because I’m always at the gym,” she says. Biles says that her sport is one of the reasons for her methods. “For gymnasts, in particular, [tracking] can lead to health problems and eating issues, so I just eat what I know I can and should.”

5. She Works Out Her Core

Biles has to workout regularly to maintain her figure, and to keep her strength up. Trainer Danielle Grey tells Women’s Health that Biles and other gymnasts do a lot of core workouts and training, including candlestick burpees and one-leg v-sit crunches. “Strengthening and training the core directly is a major part of a gymnast’s conditioning,” she says. “The pike and hollow body shapes are constantly used in gymnastics and mastery of each can make skills easier in the future.”

6. She Does Gymnastics Of Course

Biles is a gymnast, which serves as a majority of her fitness and workouts. As difficult as it is, gymnastics has a lot of benefits for your body. According to a study from Gym.net, gymnastics has a lot of benefits for a person’s flexibility. “Flexibility is a big factor in gymnastics. In order to achieve the various positions needed to perform moves, suppleness is of vital importance. Increasing flexibility can also be an effective aid to the reduction of injury, preventing people from forcing a limb to an injurious range of motion. By learning movements and combining them in a routine, the gymnast can attain greater flexibility and greater control of the body.”

That's definitely helped me not think about it."

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

4. She Calls Out Body Shamers

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

6th Annual InStyle Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

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

2021 MTV Video Music Awards - ArrivalsJason Kempin/Getty Images

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

The 2021 Met Gala Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion - ArrivalsTaylor Hill/WireImage

"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."

German Model Leonie Hanne Stuns in Style

From coffee perks to Pilates workouts, learn her daily habits for a balanced lifestyle.

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. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! 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 🫶🏼🫶🏼”
