Read on to find out and see 4 other ways Tammy Hebrow 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 Meditates

“Meditating really changed my life when I first really discovered its power,” she writes in her post. “One of the first times I tried it I got into a deep meditation & had a full out of body experience completely disconnected from my physical being and there was really no looking back from there. I decided then I would dedicate my life to becoming the healthiest happiest version of myself. Meditating for even just 10 minutes a day can help relieve stress, calm your mind & clear it of negative thoughts, and help you really focus on the present 🍃 There’s no doubt in my mind meditation has helped me not just in daily life but even in my businesses & creativity.”

2. Exercise Makes Her Feel Better

One of the ways Tammy motivates herself to workout is by reminding herself how good it makes her feel. “I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids,” she told New Idea. “I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids. Whether it’s a gym workout or HIIT home workout I always try to fit it in when I can.”

3. She Works Out 3 to 4 Times Per Week

Tammy works out three to five days a week. Her sessions include a little cardio and heavy weights. “I will often do some workouts from my at home booty program – you only need dumbbells, or I will do a HIIT workout in the lounge room,” she told New Idea.

4. Her Diet Is Clean and “Boring”

Tammy revealed to New Idea that she maintains a very clean diet. “For me lean protein like chicken breast, turkey and fish, really helps, but I find that with trying to build my booty I wasn’t consuming the amount of protein I needed so supplements like protein shakes helped too,” she says. "But I didn’t supplement my meals with these it was always a combination of both. I needed to eat lots to build that area so I also ate lots of complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes and healthy fats.” For breakfast she usually eats oatmeal, infused with protein powder. Then, post workout, a protein shake, “and love to eat fish, chicken, turkey, beans and vegetables,” she adds. “I’ve been trying to cut back on meat lately which I have found difficult. I usually end my day with oats and protein again. Boring I know!”

5. She Eats Every Few Hours

Another one of Tammy’s diet secrets? She consumes tiny, but regular meals. “I eat every two to three hours,” she told New Idea. Make a smoothie part of your day; it's a great snack. Use a nut milk and plant-based protein for best results, plus some frozen fruit, spinach and half a frozen banana. Not only do frozen bananas provide a luxurious creaminess and natural sweetness to smoothies, but studies have shown bananas to positively impact gut health by increasing the good bacteria in our bellies and helping to reduce bloat. Better yet, they’re a cinch to prepare. I recommend freezing 10–12 at the beginning of each week. Carefully peel the banana so that it stays intact. (Do not make the mistake of freezing the banana with the peel on, which just basically gives your fruit a bullet-proof vest that you won’t be able to penetrate.) Discard the peel and cut each banana in half. Place up to 12 peeled banana halves into a resealable plastic freezer bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal tightly.

Daniela Melchior is a successful Portuguese actress. She first made waves when she starred in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Melchior is currently on vacation in the Dominican Republic, and just shared a stunning new photo to Instagram. In it, she posed on her hotel balcony, wearing a tan one-piece swimsuit and a towel on her head. She captioned the post, “Gotta find new hobbies.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Daniela Melchior 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 In Therapy

Healthcare,Concept,Of,Professional,Psychologist,Doctor,Consult,In,Psychotherapy,SessionShutterstock

In an interview with Schon Magazine, Melchior revealed that she goes to therapy. She says that at the beginning of the pandemic, she decided to become more in-tune with herself. “I’m more into getting to know myself. I know it’s a cliche, but I started doing therapy. I started meditating to be more focused on me and my family and friends. And I’m really happy about it. It’s also really important for me as an actor to know myself — because if I don’t know myself, I will not be able to work to the fullest of my emotions and everything I am… I don’t know if I can say it in English. But, my skills are myself. It’s me. It’s my body. It’s my face and my emotions. So right now, I’m focused on me, and reading as much as I can and watching movies. Yeah. I’m a normal person.”

2. She Meditates

Melchior revealed some of her wellness secrets to Byrdie. She says that she likes to practice meditation. "I found out that sometimes when I was a little bit more stressed, it would consume me. So, I downloaded a meditation app on my phone [Insight Timer]. When I was in the United States, I would meditate in the morning—like guided meditations, to be present and positive—and to sleep because my mind would be running and overthinking about everything, even if my life was amazing.”

3. She Added Things To Her Skincare Routine

Melchior broke down her skincare routine to Byrdie. "My skincare routine changed from moisturizer and eye cream to a multi-step routine. And I love it. It's really good because it makes sense. I was trying to pay more attention to my skin type. I always clean [my face], and I always take my makeup off. In the morning, I do toner, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid—but only when my skin needs it because sometimes it makes me break out. After hyaluronic acid, I put on moisturizer, eye cream. And sunscreen all the time—even if I stay home—because it's so important."

4. She Bikes

Melchior likes to go bike riding as a way to stay in shape. She went for a late-night ride while on a trip to Milan, Italy. She shared these highlights on Instagram. Melchior captioned the post, “Eat pasta > drink Passito > ride a bike around > repeat.” According to Better Health, “Cycling can help to protect you from serious diseases such as stroke, heart attack, some cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity and arthritis.”

5. She Practices Yoga

Melchior is learning how to practice yoga as a way to stay in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself doing different poses. In them, Melchior is in a cobra and a warrior pose, as well as doing a Sun Salutation. She captioned the post, “Beginner.” The American Osteopathic Association reports, “Aside from the physical benefits, one of the best benefits of yoga is how it helps a person manage stress, which is known to have devastating effects on the body and mind.”

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness pro with her own workout app and programs. Hembrow recently shared her favorite lower body workouts in an Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing hip thrusts with a barbell, RDLs with a smaller barbell, glute pull-throughs, cable kickbacks, and cable abductions. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tammy Hembrow stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow makes sure to eat healthy. She revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that tracking her food is how she does so. “How I use @tammyfitapp for my workouts & meals 🍓💪🏼 it’s sooo easy to track what you eat - you can even use your own recipes or scan barcodes of what you’re having & it will calculate if you’re macros and calories are aligning with your goals. 🙌🏼 My biggest tip to anyone struggling to see change would be to take advantage of this feature to see just where you might be going wrong.”

2. She Believes In Balance

When it comes to wellness, Hembrow believes in balance. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Let’s talk about BALANCE ⚖️ my approach to fitness is never about being ‘all consumed’ by it,” she writes. “(For example I literally had the WHOLE last week off, ate pretty much everything under the sun, lots of fine cheeses, sweets, & spicy margaritas 🌶️🤌🏼). You are going to see the best results if working out is something that consistently becomes a part of your life, it shouldn’t be a chore. Working out should enhance your life, not feel like you are depriving yourself of anything. You shouldn’t feel guilty for eating that chocolate or going out with your friends, BUT you also shouldn’t let it derail your whole routine completely. Make sure you find a balance that works for you, your goals & what YOU want. And ultimately, remember, if you slip up or fall off you can always get back up.”

3. She Swims

Hembrow loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself in the water. She captioned it, “My therapy is any body of water & @tammyfitapp 🫶🏼🌊 train with me, link in bio. What it includes: ♥ gym/home programs. ♥ Meal plans (vegan, veg, GF, allergy friendly etc). ♥Pilates, yoga, meditations & affirmations. ♥ Calorie calculator. ♥ Weight/strength tracking. ♥ Water tracker. ♥ Support from the Tammy Fit team & exclusive Facebook groups. ♥ CONSTANT updates & MUCH more.”

4. She Does Yoga

Hembrow loves to do yoga to stay in shape. She shared this video of herself doing poses on Instagram. Hembrow captioned it, “The @tammyfitapp really helped me through some tough times the past couple years. One of my favourite things about the app is our guided meditations, affirmations & yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️🌅 whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed or stressed it's always soooo good to be able to go back to that and really just try to bring myself back to the present. I hope that if you use the Tammy Fit app you really take advantage of those features because I know just how powerful they can be ✨”

5. She Strength Trains

As you can see from her Instagram post, Hembrow likes to strength train. She also uses weights in this video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “Sign ups for our next @tammyfitapp challenge are officially open!!! 🫶🏼 Show up for yourself, even when you don't 'feel' like it or aren't feeling motivated. Trust me that's when it counts the most !!”

Brooke Burke is sharing all her diet and fitness secrets – in her swimsuit. The model and actress shows off her amazing body in a gingham bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, teasing a new interview where she reveals her top tips for diet and fitness. “Just pure gratitude + a few summer tips to keep you inspired & rewored. Story link in my bio. Thx @dailymail for sharing our 21 Day Challenge,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Brooke Burke stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Intermittent Fasting

Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation "Big Fighters, Big Cause" Charity Boxing NightJon Kopaloff/Getty Images

Brooke is a proponent of intermittent fasting, eating during an eight-hour window and then not eating for the remaining 16 hours in a day. “It’s a simple yet powerful concept: confine eating to an 8-hour window and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day,” she told DailyMail.com. “For example, if you eat dinner at 7 pm, your next meal will be at 11:00 am the next morning. This timing cycle essentially tricks your body into burning stored fat. During a ‘fasted state’ – the hours when your body is not consuming or digesting any food – your body doesn’t have a recently consumed meal to use as energy, so it pulls energy from the fat stored in your body instead. Intermittent fasting trains your body to consume food more efficiently and to burn fat as fuel. Fasting can leave you feeling hungry or fatigued, but by bridging the time with your regular sleep cycle, it is much easier to embrace.”

2. She Has “Mindful Mondays”

Brooke practices “Mindful Mondays,” she told the publication. “Start each week by taking time – before your schedule gets busy – to calm and cleanse your mind as well as your body. Whether you practice yoga, meditation, or even simple breathwork, the important thing is that you find a way to center yourself, focus your intentions, and make conscious choices about the week ahead.”

3. She Goes “Green”

“Mondays are the perfect days to “Go Green” with fresh, delicious, and nutritious veggies and fruits,” Brooke added. “Check out your local farmer’s market or organic food store and stock up. 'Here are just a few examples of mostly plant-based meals that are simple, fresh, and light. There’s no reason to go hungry when you fuel your body with crunchy vegetables, healthy soups, hot green tea, and plenty of water. One of my favorite meals is a junks salad.”

4. She Meditates

Another healthy habit of Brooke’s? “A daily meditation practice. Trust me on this one, the mind and body benefits are incredible,” she told Daily Mail. “Meditation is the practice of training the mind in order to induce a state of relaxation, focus, and inner peace. A daily meditation practice helps control our thoughts, emotions and inner dialogue to positively retrain our brain and elevate our well-being. “We meditate, not to find peace, but to meet reality. The practice of meditation can take many forms, including silence, prayer, visualization, and breathing exercises. The main goal of meditation is to stay present and focused on the current moment, rather than dwelling on past experiences or worrying about the future.” She also suggests guided meditations. “Through this daily commitment, you will develop a deeper sense of personal awareness and spiritual connection. In the space of stillness, you will find your strength. Make meditation a habit. Forming new habits is easier than we think. We actually do it all the time. Perhaps the reason we so easily accommodate change for others, but not ourselves, is because we view self-care as optional. That’s where we need to shift our mindset. Meditation helps decrease stress, control anxiety, and improve sleep. It helps lengthen attention span, reduce age-related memory loss, and promote emotional health. It can even help manage pain, lower blood pressure, and support recovery. Most importantly, meditation fosters kindness. And the world can always use more kindness!”

5. She Recommends Her 21-Day Fitness Challenge

Brooke strongly suggests committing to a 21-day program. “'We can reshape our bodies and reconnect with our authentic ourselves. We can fold fitness into our daily routine and discover the power of nutritious (and delicious) food. And we can embrace mindful meditation that will help us stay centered and focused,” she said. The new 21-Day Fitness Challenge is the ideal program to reach your summer health and wellness goals, focusing on both fitness and mindfulness. It is about new beginnings and letting go of old patterns.”

Lottie Tomlinson, the model, makeup artist and founder of Tanologist, says “good morning from us” in a new swimsuit photo. “Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️,” commented Louisa. “😍,” said tennis player Lewis Burton, her rumored beau.

1. This is Her Wellness Hack

“I started working out a few months ago and I've been finding it's really good for a bit of therapy. I've really been enjoying that. I go three times a week and I actually find I feel different when I go away and I've not been working out - I don't feel as good. Exercise is so good for keeping your head on,” she told Glamour. She added: “I don't really live by a fashion rule. If you like it, then you wear it - there are no rules.”

2. This is Her Brow Trick

“I like using a pencil, I used to use a brow pomade but I really like a pencil now. I just fill them in, brush them out, I think that's really important so they don't get too blocky. I actually use hair gel in them to get the spiky look which keeps them in place all day. I use the Bleach Well Gel,” she told Glamour.

3. This is How She Chills Out

“I literally just like staying at home, chilling, watching films but then I also like going out with my friends when I've got free time, so I always try and make sure I've got time to do both - I like to balance the two,” she told Glamour. “Relaxation techniques are a great way to help with stress management. Relaxation isn't only about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby. It's a process that decreases the stress effects on your mind and body. Relaxation techniques can help you cope with everyday stress. And these techniques can help with long-term stress or stress related to various health problems, such as heart disease and pain,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Says There’s No Shame in Asking for Help

"I feel quite responsible for my family and I wanted to be strong for them. I've realised that asking for help is actually the opposite of weakness,” she told Cosmopolitan. After her mother’s death, she reportedly repressed her feelings. "Now I know that if you need to cry, then it's important to allow yourself time to cry."

5. She Shared Her Emotions Online

"I do get a lot from sharing my story online, I feel like I'm reaching people and helping, which in turn helps me. Fans and followers have been so supportive too, telling me that they're proud. But sometimes I do feel pressure to respond to all of the messages I receive – which isn't always possible – which is why it's so nice that I can now signpost them to somewhere that practical help is on offer. Sue Ryder offer online support and have a forum,” she told Cosmo.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. 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.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
