Speed skater Alexandra Ianculescu, isn’t afraid of showing off her figure. Her Instagram is full of revealing photos and she even has an OnlyFans. Ianculescu shared a new reel on Instagram this week. In them, she wore different swimsuits while doing different activities. She captioned the post, “Some of this week’s bikini choices ✨ I have a few others I haven’t posted yet but might post photos with them eventually. Which one do you like the most?” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Alexandra Ianculescu stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Surfs

Ianculescu shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is surf. She shared this video of herself surfing in the ocean. Ianculescu captioned the post, “Summertime love coming slowly to the end.” Better Health states, “Surfing provides many health benefits including: Cardiovascular fitness – from paddling. Shoulder and back strength – these muscles will strengthen from the paddling. Leg and core strength – once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up.”

2. She Bikes

Ianculescu is an avid biker. She shared a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself going on bike trips or using a stationary bike. In these highlights she posted from Palma de Mallorca, Ianculescu is seen biking in the mountains. She also shared this video of herself using a stationary bike, captioning it, “On days when you don’t have access to riding at altitude, you simulate Stelvio’s altitude feels inside an altitude chamber which allows you to simulate putting your bike on top of some of the tallest peaks. Working out in the altitude chamber improves metabolism, fitness and body composition in a relatively short period of time. No better prep when you only have access to flat lands in the Netherlands.”

3. She’s Consistent

Ianculescu makes sure to be consistent with her workouts. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Not 100% yet but using this opportunity to continue being consistent with the little things that my body can handle, before I turn things up on both the bike and in dry land training next week. Patience is the key. And consistency is what’s going to get me to where I want to go.”

4. She Weight Trains

One thing Ianculescu does to stay in shape is weight train. She shared this video on Instagram of herself lifting a barbell. Ianculescu captioned the post, “Training to improve, not to impress. Working on myself, for myself. With this new training program coming up, I’m pretty excited to keep the same goals, same grind, same routine, but with a different attitude. Realizing that I made some progress, but not satisfied with how it’s all coming along. I know I’m capable of so much more, and know my body well enough to know when to push it, and when to back off. I’ve burnt out 3 times before while training with a different program that rushed my progression & I felt the red flags yet refused to listen to when I needed to back off. I am now In complete control of my training program off the bike, and I’m so grateful that as a personal trainer I can write myself a mix of training blocks to help build what you can’t get on the bike.”

5. She Skis

Speed skating isn’t the only winter sport Ianculescu likes to do. She also likes to go skiing. Ianculescu shared these photos on Instagram of herself in Chamonix, France. In one, she is seen skiing on a mountain. Skiing has a lot of benefits. According to a study in Frontiers of Physiology, “Results indicate that downhill skiing, especially when performed on a regular basis, may contribute to healthy aging by its association with a healthier life style including higher levels of physical activity.”

Andreea Dragoi has become a big name in swimming. This has led to her getting many other opportunities. She recently got the chance to model for New York Swim Week. Dragoi shared a video of herself on the runway on Instagram this week. In it, she modeled a white one piece. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Andreea Dragoi stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Swims

Swimming is naturally the main way Dragoi stays in shape. Swimming.org states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Swimming uses all the muscles in the body so whether you swim a gentle breaststroke or hammer butterfly, you will get a full body workout. Plus, exercising in water makes your body work harder so 30 minutes in a pool is worth 45 minutes of the same activity on land.”

2. She Works Her Legs

Being an athlete means Dragoi has to spend a lot of time in the gym. She shared some of her favorite exercises in this video she posted on Instagram. Dragoi doesn’t skip leg day. In the video, she is seen doing standing back kicks and squats with weights. Dragoi captioned the post, “Gym highlights from the past week.” Having strong legs are important, especially for swimming.

3. She Does Push Ups

Dragoi makes sure to do core workouts as well. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing push-ups. Harvard Health states that push-ups have a lot of benefits. "How many you can do at one time offers a real-time measurement of your strength and muscular endurance and is an easy tool to help you improve," says Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School. "You can do them anywhere and at any time. All you need is your body weight and a few minutes."

4. She Weight Trains

In her Instagram video, Dragoi is seen using weights to help with her exercises. Strength and weight training have a lot of benefits. Better Health states that these exercises can result in, “Improved muscle strength and tone – to protect your joints from injury. Maintaining flexibility and balance, which can help you remain independent as you age. Weight management and increased muscle-to-fat ratio – as you gain muscle, your body burns more kilojoules when at rest.”

5. She Gets Vitamin D

"A major source of vitamin D for most humans is synthesized from the exposure of the skin to sunlight typically between 1000 h and 1500 h in the spring, summer, and fall. Vitamin D produced in the skin may last at least twice as long in the blood compared with ingested vitamin D. When an adult wearing a bathing suit is exposed to one minimal erythemal dose of UV radiation (a slight pinkness to the skin 24 h after exposure), the amount of vitamin D produced is equivalent to ingesting between 10,000 and 25,000 IU. A variety of factors reduce the skin's production of vitamin D3, including increased skin pigmentation, aging, and the topical application of a sunscreen. An alteration in the zenith angle of the sun caused by a change in latitude, season of the year, or time of day dramatically influences the skin's production of vitamin D3," says the NIH.

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 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
