Ray consumes 70 grams of protein per day to keep her glutes built and maintain muscle mass.

Sommer follows a strict diet during the week, but will cheat on the weekends. "If I want a slice of pizza, I have a slice of pizza. I want to look good, but I also want to enjoy life," she explained. She also confessed to Luxury Lifestyle Magazine that she can’t say no to a weekly burger. “Ooh, easy. In-n-out. I probably go once a week,” she said when asked what her favorite restaurant was.

6. She Tries to Motivate Women to Love Themselves

"I don’t want to motivate women to look like me — I want them to love themselves the way I do," Ray told Cosmopolitan. "Society puts on pressure to look and be a certain way — you're your best when you are confident in yourself."

When asked about self-care, Sommer revealed her daily ritual. “Baths lol, I love baths with Epsom salts and lavender essential oil. It's really the most relaxing thing for me. It's my therapy, I can sit in there for hours,” she told Paper.

There are hardships that enrich, roads without preferential lanes that lead to exciting panoramas and important experiences, to know your limits and try to overcome them. The goal, after a struggle, is always sweeter, but more than the goal is the journey that moves something inside us. Knowing ourselves better is one of the most powerful tools we have to improve ourselves. New awarenesses walking walking (and even a little climbing) Photo memory of epiphany.”

4. She Paddleboards

Leone shared a photo of herself on a paddleboard. “Sporty Spice 🐙.” “While the actual activity of standup paddleboarding is really more of an individual activity, if you decide to join a club as well there are great opportunities to meet likeminded people. You’ll be able to get tips and advice from others who may have been doing standup paddleboarding for longer and you could even look to arrange day trips to explore further afield," says AXA Health.

5. She Spends Time in the Sauna

“Sauna bathing, an activity that has been a tradition in Finland for thousands of years and mainly used for the purposes of pleasure and relaxation, is becoming increasingly popular in many other populations. Emerging evidence suggests that beyond its use for pleasure, sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive diseases; nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases; mortality; as well as amelioration of conditions such as arthritis, headache, and flu,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Read on to see 5 ways Santos 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 Loves Cheese and Wine

Santos says cheese and wine is “the way to my heart”. When it comes to dairy, experts say the less processed, the better. Opt for less processed dairy products – think flavorful cheeses like Parmesan, feta or part-skim mozzarella instead of processed American slices, and plain Greek yogurt instead of high-sugar flavored varieties,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD.

2. She Loves to Jet Ski

Santos loves to get out on the ocean on a jet ski when she gets the chance. “Jet ski is a great exercise; you burn a lot of calories, get some cardiovascular work, learn how to maintain proper balance, release a lot of stress, and you can even work many different muscle groups,” says Tim Conner, MD. “The most important thing is that this activity is also fun, which has mental health benefits.”

3. She Enjoys Swimming

Santos likes to swim both in the pool and out in the ocean. “Swimming has long been recognized for its cardiovascular benefits,” says Seena Mathew, Assistant Professor of Biology at The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. “Because swimming involves all of the major muscle groups, the heart has to work hard, which increases blood flow throughout the body. This leads to the creation of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. The greater blood flow can also lead to a large release of endorphins—hormones that act as a natural pain reducer throughout the body. This surge brings about the sense of euphoria that often follows exercise.”

4. She Loves Lobster

Santos loves to treat herself to some delicious lobster when she’s on vacation. “Lobster provides a significant amount of minerals, such as zinc, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and potassium, as well as B vitamins,” says Faye L. Dong, PhD, professor emerita, department of food science and human nutrition, University of Illinois. “If you eat lobster one day a week and a fattier fish like salmon one or two times a week, you’ll have your omega-3 intake covered for the week,” says Eric Rimm, ScD, professor of epidemiology and nutrition, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

5. She Drinks Beer

Santos likes to indulge in an ice-cold Heineken once in a while. “Beer contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of the amino-acid homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease,” says Jim Collins, PhD. “People with higher levels of homocysteine tend to be at higher risk of an earlier onset of heart and vascular disease. Almost everything we eat or drink can provide health benefits as long as they are consumed in moderation.”

1. She Gets Her Vitamin D

“In general, even with fortified foods, diet usually doesn’t provide enough vitamin D. And certain health conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract may decrease the absorption of vitamin D and predispose to low vitamin D blood levels. You also can get vitamin D through direct exposure to sunlight, although the amount of sun you need to get enough vitamin D can vary greatly,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Loves to Swim

Sarah once swam underwater with a sea creature. “Happy world oceans day. ❤️ No better feeling than exploring the world under the surface. Let’s keep working toward a better future for our planets oceans....Every little bit helps if everyone took and active roll it would make the world of difference. The calmness, clarity and happiness while being underwater is like being in another universe. Its unreal. 🌊🖤,” she captioned it.

3. She Love Dogs

Sarah loves dogs. “My fur baby ❤️ whenever Noah sees a dog he chases it around until he can touch it and doesn’t want to let go 🤣 I think he definitely loves animals as much as his mum.” Dogs have been shown to have big benefits to mental wellness.

4. She Surfs

“To be competitive, surfers must be physically well-rounded and have both endurance (paddling and duck diving) and explosive power (popping up, big bottom turns and explosive turns and airs off the top lip of the wave). Balance is of paramount importance too, as is symmetry between lower- and upper-body strength,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Loves to Travel

Sarah has hit such far flung locations as Stonehenge and tropical paradises. “Taking a holiday can result in many physical and mental health benefits. In fact, some of these benefits have been shown to persist months after we have returned to work. A study of over 3,000 Canadian workers found that taking more paid vacation days was positively associated with both overall health and life satisfaction,” says one study.
