1. She Started Off with Muay Thai

“I got in Muay Thai because I was loving the martial arts, so when I learned more contact sports so I got into the Muay Thai but it was not through my dad, I just was in the gym and I saw the class going on at a regular gym and when I do that and I got into it. And then when I was 17, almost turning 18 from my Muay Thai gym they asked me if I want to do MMA. I was going to look it up say, “Oh what is that?” You know? And I looked some YouTube videos, I was going to like, oh I want to do that,” she revealed to Front Row Seat podcast.

2. Then She Found Jiu-Jitsu

Then she started doing Jiu-Jitsu too. “So I started Jiu-Jitsu when I was 18 because of the MMA and then after that I fell in love with Jiu-Jitsu too. So I was training all my life I was always train like four times every day,” she told Front Row Seat podcast. “Jiu-Jitsu impacted my life a lot. Because of Jiu-Jitsu, I am where I am right now. I teach, I got a family here. It got me open a lot of opportunities, you know, and I love judo. But I really have a deep connection with Jiu-Jitsu,” she continued. “I trained a little bit of Jiu-Jitsu techniques in judo because we learned a lot of ground game. So when I got in Jiu-Jitsu I learned everything pretty quick. I got my blue belt within six months. It was not like I got in to Jiu-Jitsu and I didn't know nothing. I came from judo. So I already knew a lot of things about it.”

3. She Works Out at the Gym

To keep herself in fighting form, Tabatha spends a lot of time at the gym, where she weight and strength trains. She isn’t afraid to go full beast mode, lifting heavy weights and doing intense circuits. "Circuit training is a form of body conditioning that combines endurance training, strength training, and high intensity aerobics. It typically involves several different exercises that target various muscle groups, and each exercise has a target rep range or time cap in which the exercise must be completed. Once all exercises in a single circuit are completed, there is typically a rest period of 1-2 minutes," sats NASM.

4. She Skateboards and Surfs

“I do like to skate a lot when I don't have a fight schedule. I'm getting more into surfing. Actually I'm getting a board. Like I'm going to put some my Baby Shark with my surfboard customized. I'm going to customize my board,” she said on the podcast, adding that “surfing is hard, super hard,” and takes a toll on her body. “Like when I go with short boards, my shoulders burn so much. It's like my neck is like my back. It's crazy. It's hard. It's hard.” She captioned a recent post: “Surf sunday.”

5. She Dances

Another way Tabatha stays fit? “I was a party girl back in Brazil a little bit, you know. I like to dance. I have the Brazilian swing,” she said on the podcast. "If you're at risk for cardiovascular disease - start dancing. More research has shown that people with heart failure who started waltzing not only improved their heart health and breathing, but they also saw overall improvement in their quality of life. Additionally, these improvements were significantly greater than those with heart failure who cycled, or walked on a treadmill," says the Y.

Paige VanZant, the mixed martial artist, just posted a new revealing photo on her Instagram. The fighter lounged in a pool wearing a blue bikini, showing off her toned body. VanZant revealed that she had just finished a workout, and didn’t get a photo of it, so she decided to post a revealing photo instead. Read on to see 6 ways Paige VanZant 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’s A Fighter

VanZant is a professional mixed martial arts fighter and boxer. Naturally, this means she’s in top shape at all times. Boxing and martial arts are a great way of getting exercise, and can help with muscle building and burning calories. A 2017 study in Biology of Sport states that boxing can increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.

2. She Takes Ice Baths

In this reel from her Instagram, VanZant revealed that she likes to take ice baths to help her muscles recover. Ice baths, while cold, are a great way to help your body recover from a tough workout. Elizabeth Gardner, MD, tells Byrdie that ice baths work well because of the “rapid dilation of the blood vessels also delivers much-needed oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, which in theory should help them to recover after a hard workout.”

3. She Enjoys Time in The Pool

VanZant loves to spend time in the pool, and posts a lot of poolside and swimming photos and videos on Instagram.

4. She Works Out With Her Husband

VanZant and her husband, fellow MMA fighter, Austin Vanderford, like to workout together. They sometimes will work out with the same coach. VanZant posted this video on Instagram of the couple exercising together. She captioned the video, “Couples who workout together stay together.”

5. She Weight Trains

VanZant is a fan of weight training, and she isn’t afraid to do some heavy lifting. Literally. VanZant posted this video on Instagram of herself lifting a large barbell. She captioned the video, “What’s the weight???;) Getting stronger with coach @evertonvoliviera at @americantopteam.”

6. She Does Yoga

Nicole Scherzinger is kicking off the first day of summer in her swimsuit! The 43-year-old flaunts her famously fit figure in her latest social media post, sharing a bunch of photos of herself. “Summer is officially here,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the star manage to look half her age at 43? Read on to see 5 ways Nicole Scherzinger 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 Takes Ice Baths

On The Ellen Show, Scherzinger revealed she loves taking ice baths. “I love ice baths, it’s so good for your body but for me, it sharpens the mind like iron,' she said. 'It’s all mental for me, I have to put on some music and go into a zone,” she said. "Cold water immersion involves people immersing themselves in water at temperatures of less than 15°C to manage muscle soreness after exercise and speed up recovery time. There is some evidence to show that cold-water immersion reduces muscle soreness at 24-72 hours after exercise compared with ‘passive’ treatment, or rest. It is here that the research falls down slightly by not comparing the use of cold-water immersion to an active recovery of light exercise, or perhaps even more pertinently, a combination of the two," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She “Sexercises” with Her Boyfriend

On The Ellen Show, she discussed her “sexercise” workouts with her boyfriend. “Do you know what I love about this in the videos?” she said about the sexy workout videos she posts. “We go like this, because he’s a control freak and I’m a control freak, but in the videos we're really happy and really cute. He loves to work out, he keeps me motivated, and I motivate us on the videos.”

3. She Works Out a Lot

Nicole is totally committed to fitness. "In a typical workout I would run on the treadmill maybe 20 mins, then try to do some squats, some sit-ups on the exercise ball, some yoga stretches," she told Women's Health UK. “When I’m home I like to take a spinning class called Soul Cycle or I like to do hot yoga—a modified version of bikram yoga—or hiking, and core power yoga in LA.”

4. She Refuses to Starve Herself

Nicole eats herself skinny. "For breakfast I love eggs and toast and smoked salmon or bacon, or porridge. For lunch I like maybe some soup or some sushi. For dinner, anything from pasta to rice, and meats and veggies, to sushi. When I’m going to indulge, I love pasta, pizza, I love Mexican with lots of cheese. I love French fries, or crisps - salt and vinegar crisps. In terms of snacks: almonds, coconut water, bits of coconut, baby carrots,” she told Women’s Health.

5. She Has Lots of Workout Buddies

In addition to her boyfriend, Nicole has lots of workout support. "Me and my girlfriends support each other for the gym. Because, you know, it’s hard to be motivated sometimes, so when you go you push each other, - we try to do different things,” she explained to Women’s Health UK. "We’ll go hiking one day and then we’ll try a sculpting hot yoga class, then we’ll do a cardio. We just motivate each other."

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.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

She Tries to Get Enough Sleep

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

She Hydrates

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
