Summer Botwe in Bathing Suit Enjoys "Spa Days"

Victoria Silvstedt is soaking up the sunshine at the Côte d'Azur, on the beautiful French Riviera (where else would a Swedish supermodel vacation?). Silvstedt, 48, shared pictures of herself posing in a powder-blue ruffled bikini, against a gorgeous background of blue skies, pool, and ocean. “Summer Vibes 🦋, she captioned the shot. “Perfect in this swimsuit! Enjoy summer vibes,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Silvstedt stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Pilates and Power Walks

Silvstedt has a set routine when she’s at home, but stays active wherever she is. “I only keep my training routine when I'm in Monaco,” she says. “When I'm in New York I walk a lot and in Cannes I run around in high heels, so that becomes my exercise. When I'm at home in Monaco, I do Pilates two to three times a week, both mat Pilates and with Reformer. I supplement it with power walks and hikes by the sea or in the mountains around Monaco.”

2. She Enjoys the Good Things

Silvstedt eats whatever she wants, but—of course—in moderation. “I'm in the best shape of my life,” she says. “But I like the good things in life. Every day I eat a huge breakfast, then pasta for lunch, but I stay away from carbs in the evening. And then I drink a glass of red wine almost every night. And I have to have my daily dose of chocolate! I like to drink champagne and have a glass of wine. And I love Tequila shots, the Patrón brand is my favorite.”

3. Yoga and Skiing

Silvstedt says living in the warm climate of Monaco encourages her to stay in shape year-round. “I feel best by being active,” she says. “It ranges from Pilates, gym, yoga, to walking or skiing,” she says. “Then it's the case that I'm in warm climates most of the year and wear a bikini, then you can't eat too much because the stomach gets so swollen. I think it's easier to keep the weight off if you have to wear a bikini often. If I were to live in Sweden in the winter, I would eat all the time and probably put on a lot of weight. When I'm at home, we have coffee and cozy up all the time!”

4. Not Competing With 20-Year-Olds

Silvstedt is content with her incredible career so far. “I'm completely satisfied with what I've already managed to achieve career-wise and I'm happy with who I am,” she says. “It's not like I'm trying to be 20 and compete with the young hot girls, not at all. Should I not get any more assignments - so what? I can retire tomorrow, no problem. That I care about my appearance is not a requirement from the industry or anyone else, I have always liked to keep myself fresh.”

5. Summer Wellness

Silvstedt loves swimming and other summer activities, but makes sure not to let her hair or skin be damaged by pool chemicals or too much sun exposure. “I avoid dipping my hair in pool water,” she says. “I wear a hat when I sunbathe, or I lie under a parasol. - I protect my face as much as possible. SPF 30, then makeup concealer with SPF 30 and a light bronzing powder that protects. Of course I will come to Sweden this summer!”

Actress and singer Mariana Botas is enjoying the beautiful beaches of Acapulco, Mexico. Botas posted a series of pictures of herself posing on the sand, wearing a bright print bikini and pink hat. “I'm going to the beach to roll in the sea to drink a beer and why not dance 🏖️ 🌊 🍻 💃🏼,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Botas 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 Follows a Low-Carb Diet

Botas says she follows a low-carb diet, and loves how it makes her feel. “It’s hardly a coincidence that avoiding carbohydrates – like sugar and bread – has a special effect, beyond just focusing on calories,” says Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, a Swedish medical doctor specializing in family medicine. “Carbohydrates, more than other foods, stimulate the release of the hormone insulin. And insulin is the body’s main fat-storing hormone. This means that to lose excess body fat your number one goal should be reducing insulin levels. And to do this, the first and most important thing is to eat fewer carbs – a low-carb diet. For many people this is enough to reach their goal weight.”

2. She Loves the Beach

Botas doesn’t just model those bikinis for show—she really loves the beach. "When we imagine the beach, we can all easily feel the warm sand between our toes," says Dr. Heidi Hanna, a Fellow and Advisory Board Member for the American Institute of Stress. "In fact, the sensation of being barefoot (the foot actually has the most nerve endings per square inch as compared to the rest of the body) in nature has a grounding effect and is shown to boost your mood."

3. She Enjoys Wine

Botas enjoys the occasional glass of wine. "When it comes to alcohol, calories do count when trying to manage your weight [and] alcohol decreases your inhibitions, so you tend to eat more," says Keren Gilbert, certified nutritionist and founder and president of nutrition consultant firm, Decision Nutrition. "We are all entitled to a little relaxation, and fun. Alcohol can fit into a healthy lifestyle by keeping a tight, clean diet most of the time, drinking in moderation and knowing the facts."

4. She Walks Her Dogs

Botas is obsessed with her beautiful pups and loves taking them for walks. “There are many reasons to walk for exercise,” says Ann Green, M.S., past heptathlon world athlete, yoga teacher and fitness studio owner. “Walking improves fitness, cardiac health, alleviates depression and fatigue, improves mood, creates less stress on joints and reduces pain, can prevent weight gain, reduce risk for cancer and chronic disease, improve endurance, circulation, and posture, and the list goes on…”

5. She Swims

Botas loves to swim. “Many people say that by simply being in the water they feel more relaxed and less stressed,” says swimming instructor Emily Morrissey. “Regular exercise helps reduce anxiety and depression, as it releases ‘feel good’ hormones and keeps our brains working in a healthy way.”

1. She’s a Dancer

Jama prefers dancing over grueling gym sessions. “I’m not very consistent,” she says. “My friends always joke that the fact I’m in somewhat okay shape is because I dance so much. My exercise is my partying because I will be the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave – I go for it! That’s at least some cardio, surely? I wake up the next day with my knees hurting, thinking: I put in a shift last night. I’m quite a hyperactive person anyway so I move around a lot – I’ll be honest that I don’t love the gym. I just do it because I need to look after my insides more than anything. Everyone’s got to work out at some point! I like the rowing machine because it doesn’t feel that hard.”

2. Working Out For Mental Health

Jama loves the way exercise benefits her mental health. "I just think [working out] helps your mental health so much anyway,” she says. “There’s a difference in how I feel if I go out and do some exercise versus just staying in bed all day. I notice how it impacts my brain and how I’m feeling."

3. Exercise First Thing

Jama tries to carve out time in the morning for a workout before the work day starts. "When I’m away filming, I try to wake up early so I can fit in a workout before arriving on set,” she says. “It helps get me in the zone. I previously did a South African road trip with Alice Liveing for work and she taught me that quality over quantity is key. I’m really busy at the moment so it’s easy to just say, 'I don’t have the time to work out', and quit. Alice showed me that it’s not how long you train for, but how you train that counts."

4. DIY Beauty

Jama makes her own hair masks from kitchen ingredients. “I often do homemade hair masks,” she says. “I mix olive oil, eggs, avocado, honey and warm it slightly in the microwave. I run it through my hair, then put a plastic bag over it so it gets a bit sweaty and steamy. Leave it for an hour and wash it off. My mum told me about it years ago, and I've been doing it ever since.”

5. Sauna and Spa Sessions

Jama is a big fan of sauna and spa sessions in her down time. “I do like to spa,” she says. “I only do it if I’ve got a working trip abroad and there’s a day off in between, or I’ll extend. For a while, back in the day, I didn’t really have days off and just worked all the time. If I could get a holiday, it would just be extending wherever I was working for an extra day – then I would stay in the spa the whole time. I like the steam room and going from the sauna to freezing cold water. I’m half Swedish and the Swedish side of my family, like my mum and nan, always went in a hot sauna and then jumped into freezing cold water when we were young. They said it tightens your pores and, you know, anti-ageing and all those things, so I try to do it.”

Model Karoline Lima shared a new swimsuit photo on Instagram this week. In it, she lay by the pool, wearing a black bathing suit and red wrap. She captioned the post, “Amputation of foot for personal reasons.” How does she stay so fit? 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.
