Bufoni skates for three to four hours a day, plus training sessions. "Every day we do a couple hours of training and then PT," she says. "We do a lot of training—functional training, balance training—and stretching. PT helps everything move better."

2. Plant-Based Diet

Bufoni tries to stay vegan/vegetarian. “I tried to be a vegan for a little bit, it only lasted three months because I started traveling a lot,” she says. “Sometimes you go to places like China and there’s no options. So I eat cheese. I don’t drink milk, I don’t eat eggs. But sometimes when I’m traveling for long and I can’t find tofu or Impossible Burger, I just eat fish. But that’s once in a while. Even in LA, I try to stay 100% vegetarian/vegan. But when I’m traveling it’s a little bit harder.”

3. Oatmeal and Fruit

Bufoni’s typical breakfast consists of oatmeal, granola, and a banana. “Whole grains are beneficial and healthy foods, and I can say that oatmeal is definitely beneficial,” says Qi Sun, assistant professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Assuming there is no added sugar, “eating oatmeal for breakfast is a good choice.”

4. She Loves exercise

Bufoni genuinely enjoys exercise. “I love working out, so I’ll pretty much do everything,” she says. “Most of the exercise I do is focused on skateboarding, so I do balance training, a lot of stretching, along with ankle and hip mobility.”

5. Wake-Surfing To Relax

Even during Bufoni’s down-time she stays active. “When I’m really sore from skating and training, I go to the lake,” she says. “If I’m really tired or if I skated a lot, I’ll just take the day off and go to the lake and go wake-surfing. That’s my third favorite sport, besides skateboarding and soccer. You’re in the water and wake-surfing is super easy on the body and you’re swimming. You’re still active. If you want to recover and just stay home and do nothing, it only gets worse. So you have to stay active.”

Kiiara, aka Kiara Saulters, is a hero to many, and she’s worked with some of her own heroes. Her song “Heavy” with Linkin Park was a huge hit, and she’s pressed songs with Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike and David Guetta, Ty Solla $ign, Cheat Codes, Steve Aoki, Hyphen Hyphen—the list goes on. She also shines on her new solo track, Whoops. How does she do all this and stay so fit? Here are some of her wellness tips.

1. She Swims

“One of the most significant advantages of swimming is its ability to provide a low-impact, high-reward workout. Unlike many other forms of exercise, swimming is gentle on the joints, making it an ideal activity for people of all ages and fitness levels,” says YMCA of Greater Whittier. “Swimming is a powerful cardiovascular exercise. It enhances heart health by improving circulation, lowering blood pressure, and increasing lung capacity. Regular swimming sessions can lead to better heart health and a reduced risk of heart-related diseases. The rhythmic nature of swimming also promotes better breathing techniques, which is beneficial for those with respiratory issues.”

2. She Skateboards

“Skateboarding is an excellent form of cardio that can help lower your risk of heart disease. While running might burn more calories per hour, skateboarding is a lower-impact activity, which can be less stressful on your joints,” says Beyond the Board. “Skateboarding can be a great way to burn calories and manage weight. Combined with a healthy diet and other physical activities, regular skateboarding can help you achieve your weight loss goals”

3. She Walks

“The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Gets Some Sun

“Sunlight is a powerful antidote for depression. In winter, many people suffer from seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression made worse by short, dark winter days. Recommended cures? Sunlight or phototherapy (exposure to light that mimics the sun). When I’m working with patients suffering from depression, I often recommend spending some time outdoors as part of their treatment plan,” says MCHC Health Centers.

5. These are Her Goals as an Artist

“Learning how to be a better storyteller, how to really create an escape. I'm already thinking about the next album. With each one, I want it to bring people into a world, an complete escape. I want it to feel magical. I want to improve my voice and tour again when that's allowed. I finally felt I got my footing and was ready to go. In 2019, I took a little break but then this all happened! So if my next tour happens in 2021, it will be 3 years since I last toured! I also want to be more comfortable with who I am and be more open, I definitely struggle with that. I get self-conscious, so I am working really hard to be comfortable in my own skin and not being afraid to say how I feel,” she told Flaunt.

Ester Ledecká, a professional snowboarder from the Czech Republic, is known for her athletic prowess on the slopes, but she recently gave her Instagram followers a humorous glimpse into her everyday life.

1. She Snowboards

Snowboarding is the main way Ledecká stays in shape. The sport is very beneficial for your health. The University of Rochester reports, “Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts. Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. They are also weight-bearing exercises. So hey strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles. Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for ongoing (chronic) diseases. They lower your blood pressure. And they help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

Penn State PRO Wellness says, “A 2010 study (Trusted Source) found that indoor cycling, combined with a low-calorie diet, was effective in reducing body weight and body fat in the study’s participants. It was also effective in lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The participants cycled for 45 minutes three times per week, and they consumed 1,200 calories per day for 12 weeks.”

Golf can also: be a great way to keep in touch with friends, help in reducing stress (as a result of the physical activity and also due to the pleasure of walking in an open and natural environment), provide opportunities to meet new people, help develop a sense of community connectedness.”

The Mayo Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. "Swimming is a wonderful sport. I definitely recommend swimming for people of all ages," says Dr. Matthew Crowe, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert. “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.”
