Sophie prioritizes hydration. “I want to feel like my best self and I'm really making an effort at the moment to be mindful, to exercise and to drink lots of water at the moment,” she told Grazia. She also loves flavored water. “I've always had a hard time drinking water that lacks any flavor,” she added, “so drinking the right amount everyday has always been a struggle.”

2. She Does Pilates

Sophie’s workout of choice is pilates. “I really love it and I'm seeing a lot of results from it, actually,” she told Grazia. “I'm a bit of a cardio junkie so it took me a while to adjust to a more fluid form of exercise, but I'm there now, I've bitten the bullet.”

3. She Takes Baths

Sophie has a favorite self-care method: Baths. “I love putting on a sheet mask, sinking into a warm bath and using an ice roller on my face,” she told Grazia. “I sit there watching YouTube videos for half an hour, it's a ritual that really helps me calm down and reset.”

4. She Takes Infrared Saunas

Another healthy activity Sophie engages in? "I love to go for an infrared sauna, they're just great and they really help you detox and get rid of any toxins. I go to one in London called 111CRYO and I really recommend it. If not, I'll have a really cold shower - something like that to wake up the body,” Sophie revealed to Heat World.

5. She Reads

Sophie relaxes with a book. "I'm not really into self-help books, but I love nutrition books at the moment and finding out about how nutrition can affect our brains and bodies,” she told Heat World. "Podcast-wise, I'm listening to Deliciously Ella's Delicious Ways To Feel Better and the current one I'm listening to is 'How to build a healthy, happy brain'. It's really interesting."

Socialite Sophie Habboo Shares Swimsuit Photo From Paradise

Sophie Habboo is one of the United Kingdom’s hottest influencers.

Sophie Habboo is one of the United Kingdom’s hottest influencers. She’s got a strong following on social media. She and her husband, Jamie Laing, also have a podcast, called The Newlyweds. The couple recently enjoyed a trip to Miami, and Habboo shared some highlights on Instagram. In them, she lounged by the beach in a black swimsuit and enjoyed some snacks. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sophie Habboo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Makes Time For Herself

London,,United,Kingdom,-,December,12,,2018:,Sophie,Habboo,AttendsShutterstock

Habboo shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Grazia. She says that she likes to unwind after a long day, and shared her favorite practices. “I love putting on a sheet mask, sinking into a warm bath and using an ice roller on my face,” she says. “I sit there watching YouTube videos for half an hour, it's a ritual that really helps me calm down and reset.”

2. She Loves Pilates

London,,England,,Uk,-,November,28,,2023:,Sophie,Habboo,AttendsShutterstock

Habboo shared some of her favorite workouts in her Grazia interview. She revealed that her current go-to workout is Pilates. “I really love it and I'm seeing a lot of results from it, actually,” Habboo said. “I'm a bit of a cardio junkie so it took me a while to adjust to a more fluid form of exercise. But I'm there now, I've bitten the bullet.” Pilates has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn’t look like some of the other strength training exercises you might be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is similar: greater stability and endurance. Pilates isn’t going to bulk you up — if anything, it’s designed to cultivate a longer, leaner look. Still, it can lay a strong physical foundation for muscle-building activities — and may even reduce your likelihood of injury. More on that later.”

3. She Does Online Workout Classes

Habboo makes sure to workout, and she sometimes does so without leaving her home. In her Grazia interview, Habboo says that she loves doing online classes, and shares her reason for wanting to workout at home. “We have a little puppy now,” she says. “So I'm working out a lot more at home out of necessity. I'm obsessed with Byrony Deery's classes.”

4. She’s Staying Hydrated

London,,Uk.,December,12,,2018:,Sophie,Habboo,At,The,UkShutterstock

Habboo revealed to Grazia that she is working on drinking a lot more water. “I want to be really clear and focused on the day. I want to feel like my best self and I'm really making an effort at the moment to be mindful, to exercise and to drink lots of water at the moment.”

5. She Skis

Habboo does a lot of traveling. She and her husband recently took a ski trip for Christmas, and shared a lot of highlights on Instagram. In one of these photos, Habboo is seen on the slopes. She captioned the post, “Happy Christmas.” The Canadian Ski Council reports that skiing has a lot of benefits. “It’s well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more. Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”

Read on to see 5 ways Karoline Lima 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 Swims

Lima spends a lot of time in the water. She has a lot of photos on Instagram of herself either at the beach or the pool. She likes to swim to stay in shape. Lima shared this photo of herself wading in the waves at sunset. She captioned the post, “Happy and light as if there's no strife amen.” She also shared these photos of herself wading in the ocean, captioning it, “Wonder where I am?”

2. She Rides Jet-Skis

Swimming isn’t the only activity Lima does at the beach to stay active. She likes to get her heart racing and adrenaline flowing. Lima likes to ride jet-skis at the beach. Lima posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself jet-skiing in Praia das Toninhas. She captioned the post, “Fucking beautiful you know.”

3. She Plays With Dogs

Lima is a dog lover. She owns two Pomeranians, and she prominently features them on her Instagram. Lima posted this photo of herself carrying her dogs outside. She captioned the post, “Can I make a frame of this picture? Full moon.” She also shared this photo with her dogs, captioning it, “Oreo and Luquinhas passing by to send you a kiss.”

4. She Benefits From the Sun

“Sometimes a little bit of sunshine is the best medicine. A walk in the park or a bike ride probably puts you in a good mood, and a moderate amount of sun is also good for your physical health. While you’re outside soaking up rays, your body is busy making vitamin D. That’s good news, because this hormone that’s boosted by exposure to sunlight plays an important role in women’s health,” says Johns Hopkins.

5. She Loves the Beach

“Beaches provide many recreational opportunities for millions of people. Boating, fishing, swimming, walking, beachcombing, bird-watching, playing and sunbathing are among the common activities beachgoers enjoy. Beaches provide protection to residents living near the ocean by acting as a buffer against the high winds and waves of powerful storms or rough seas,” says the EPA.

London Celebrity Sightings - October 19, 2021Ricky Vigil/GC Images

In 2020, Jossa decided to live a healthier lifestyle, and took to Instagram to talk about it. She says that she wanted to do this to help her feel better, not to lose weight. "I'm having those thoughts of ‘I need to start doing a bit for me and I'm going to try and go for walks and maybe do some exercise,’” she started. “And no, before everyone pipes up it's not to necessarily lose weight, I wouldn't mind it, but it is more just to know that you're doing something. Because work-wise I'm feeling really good, I'm busy, I'm on the ball, and I just want to maintain that, and I feel like getting on the ball with it now, it's got to be done."

2. She Makes Time For Herself

Jossa revealed some of her wellness secrets to Heatworld. She says that even with her busy schedule, she always makes time for herself. Jossa says she sets one day aside a week to relax, and revealed some of the things she enjoys doing.

3. She Follows Instagram Accounts That She Enjoys

When it comes to Instagram, Jossa says that she only follows accounts that make her feel good. She tells Heatworld that this helps with her confidence, and prevents her from comparing herself to others. “I should just unfollow if it's not filling me with joy. So I just unfollow it. And because there are some people in the world that love to see all that because they have the ambition to be like them, but I don't. And you start feeling better. I follow people that are more inspiring to me and make me feel better. I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, she looks amazing in that dress and she's a size 16 and looks unreal'. I then think, 'I'm actually quite fit! She's fit, I'm fit' and I feel better about myself.”

4. She’s Real

With Jossa, what you see is what you get. She tells Heatworld that she always wants to show her real life on Instagram. “I want to be the person on social media that other people go to and enjoy following you,” she says. “You get your rolls out when you can, you don't edit your photos to extremes and you show yourself with no make-up on from time to time.”

5. She’s Comfortable

Jossa says that she is always comfortable with her body. She tells Heatworld, “You always beat yourself up so much and it's like, 'actually no, honey, you're still really really fit, you ain't getting no better!' You're gonna get older and it's gonna get worse for you, hun. Embrace it right now. Be in every picture with your kids because you'll regret it. They won't ever say, 'mummy, you look a bit fat there, or mummy, you've got a little roll hanging there' They never say that. They're gonna go, 'I remember that day, we went to the beach, it was so good'. This is gonna get deep but one day, the photo is all they're going to have so you got to make sure you're in them all."

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

She Boxes

One thing she did was box. “It builds the shape of muscles I needed to look like a fighter, and it's just plain fun," she says.” Boxing has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Regular physical activity, including boxing, can lower your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease.”

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
