1. She Meditates

Soledad practices regular meditation. “Rest and close your eyes. What do you seek to achieve? What are in your dreams? How would you like to feel when you reach your dream? Feel it in your body and your mind,” she captioned a recent TikTok video. "Meditation is thought to work via its effects on the sympathetic nervous system, which increases heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure during times of stress. Yet meditating has a spiritual purpose, too," says Harvard Health. "True, it will help you lower your blood pressure, but so much more: it can help your creativity, your intuition, your connection with your inner self," says Burke Lennihan, a registered nurse who teaches meditation at the Harvard University Center for Wellness, to Harvard Health.

2. She Does Yoga

Soledad’s main form of fitness is yoga. “Trust, find what you love,” she captioned one of her posts. “I always do what I'm passionate about, I study what sparks my interest, what I didn't know was how they were going to connect all these interests in my future. Years ago I heard a lecture Steve Jobs gave for Stanford University in 2005, where he said just this: ‘You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only do it by looking back, so you have to trust that to somehow those dots will connect in your future.’ And so it is. I found how to connect all those dots in my life today.”

3. She Eats Healthy

Soledad maintains a healthy diet. For breakfast she often eats oatmeal or Acai bowls. She also loves green smoothies. “One of my favorites and always recommend for those who want to start taking green smoothies and taking care of their skin 💚🌿 Ginger Peel Lime (I like it a lot! ) Frozen Mango (gives creaminess) Spinach (if you don't want it sweeter, you can avoid adding it) Collagen Hemp seeds or Chia seeds,” she captioned a recipe for her go-to drink.

4. She Does a Lot of Ab Work

Soledad does a lot of ab work to keep her midsection tight. “My ABS routine I call 10-20-30-40-50 for all those who asked me 😉 I do it this way because I find it easier and practical to get my head sorted and relax. I do it x3 or x4, you can start trying with one or make it shorter 10-20-30 or 30-40-50 whichever you like! Try what works for you and consult with a trainer to help you with technique,” she captioned a post showing off her movies.

5. She Views Exercise as Self-Care

For Soledad, exercise is self-care. “No filter no make up no hair but focused on my goals. 😉 I often get asked how do I get in the mood to workout. Truth is I do it for my mental health and for my body health, not just to look pretty, but obviously the results help and motivate to follow! I see physical movement as something I need to do for myself. It's part of my self-care, my Self-Care routine. It motivates me to do it for me and not others. Hope this motivates you too!” she captioned this post.

1. She Doesn’t Doubt Herself

Manto opened up about her life and career to Kwentuhang Pilipina. She says that she doesn’t second-guess or doubt herself. “I feel like the path that I took to get to the career that I have right now are all the steps that I needed to take. So of course you'll have doubts every now and then, but I never, I have never, you know, second guessed the path that I took for this one. So I guess this is what I'm supposed to undergo.”

2. She Creates Content People Enjoy

Manto opened up about how she approaches her influencer career to Kwentuhang Pilipina. She says that she wants to create content that people enjoy. “It's never really been a goal of mine to reach a certain number of views, a certain number of followers or a certain number of viewers per se. But it's more about me putting content that I feel like even at least one person can relate to or just anything that would make me happy.”

3. She Ignores What Others Think Of Her

Manto opened up about how she deals with insecurities to PHILStar.com. She says that she ignores what others think of her. Manto also encouraged others to do the same. "You cannot tell me bad things about myself or my flaws because I treat them as uniquely mine or what defines me…I just want you to know that there is enough space for everyone, whatever beauty you have. I think that's the very essence of what Filipina beauty is, knowing that there is space for each and every person with their own unique identities that make them beautiful."

4. She Doesn’t Feel Pressure

Manto tells PHILStar.com that she doesn’t feel pressure to appeal to society’s standards. “Going back to that pageant, life has a funny way of telling you something, making you realize that you should not be defined by their standards, and you can tell them more about different facets of yourself beyond physical beauty," she says. "I feel at that moment that it was my lowest, but I also realized that this is a wake-up situation for me that to be at my lowest is a realization of my highest point. So if I would go back, I would tell myself to not stick to the standards of other people because there will be a time when you wake up, they will be celebrating you for who you are."

5. She Swims

Manto spends a lot of time in the water, as you can see from her recent Instagram post. She shares a lot of other posts of herself at the beach or the water. Manto posted this black and white photo of the ocean, captioning it, “Back at my happy place for some peace and quiet.” She also shared this video of herself wading in the ocean in Bali. She captioned that post, “Enjoying the now.”

And we did it!!!”

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
