Outhwaite captioned it, “Just a tiny slither of the times we had at @lakes_byyoo for a family get together. Two birthdays, and a whole heap of swimming, paddle boarding, cooking, laughing, steaming, cycling, playing cheat, chess , watching Stranger Things, Women’s Euros, zip wires, high ropes, climbing, and I had an incredible massage too.”

3. She Hikes

Outhwaite has gotten into hiking. At the beginning of the year, she and her family went on a hiking trip. She shared highlights on Instagram, captioning it, “The first few days of January are always a massive let down. This year we decided as a family of 4 who had spent the festive season dispersed but happy, that we should eek out the days off school and work , with an adventure.”

4. She Occasionally Eats A Vegan Diet

Outhwaite occasionally opts for a vegan diet and lifestyle. “I've just done a couple of weeks of being meat and dairy-free, trying vegan ready meals,” she tells Closer. "Now, the majority of what I eat is vegan and I'm eating meat or fish maybe once a week. It's about not cutting everything out, but being mindful about what I'm eating. I definitely feel better fot it."

5. She Limits Her Snacks

Outhwaite revealed some of her diet secrets to Closer Online. She says that she tries to limit her snacking each day. When she does snack, she opts for a healthy option. “I eat a lot of fruit but at least it’s not refined sugar. If I’m on set and low on energy and someone brings round snacks, I’ll have some, but I don’t buy them for the house.”

Meadow Walker, the American model, poses in nice clothes for a living and now she’s showing off a look of her own—a selfie in a swimsuit.

How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Meadow Walker 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 Loves Yoga

Yoga helps Walker stay centered and flexible. One study, in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, looked at older women who did Hatha yoga once a week and found “that the applied yoga exercises increased spinal mobility and flexibility of the hamstring muscles regardless of age. Yoga exercises should be recommended to the elderly to make their muscles more flexible and to increase the range of motion in the joints, which is particularly important for improving their life quality.”

2. She Says “Do What Makes You Feel Good About Yourself”

"Do what makes you feel good about yourself and try to shut out the rest," Walker told Vogue. "I'm not the most confident person in the world, but I have to bring myself back to that. If you keep those feelings of insecurity and not feeling confident in your head too long, it becomes so real."

3. She Meditates

“Mindfulness is one of the most popular meditation techniques. It has two main parts: attention and acceptance,” says the American Psychological Association. “The attention piece is about tuning into your experiences to focus on what's happening in the present moment. It typically involves directing your awareness to your breath, your thoughts, the physical sensations in your body and the feelings you are experiencing. The acceptance piece involves observing those feelings and sensations without judgment. Instead of responding or reacting to those thoughts or feelings, you aim to note them and let them go.”

4. She Enjoys Acupuncture

“Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.”

5. This is Her Earliest Beauty Memory

“Growing up and seeing my cousins, who were really just my mum's friend’s kids. They were quite a bit older than me. I was seven and they were probably 12, and I remember always seeing them with their makeup and I was like, ‘I want to use it,’ but I was too little. I thought it was so glamorous—the clear mascara and those flavored lip glosses,” she told Vogue.

Polish actress Katarzyna Glinka doesn’t just work on her outer appearance—she focuses on her mental health, too. Glinka posted a photo of herself looking serene in a black and white bathing suit, saying she was enjoying some mindfulness. “When Leo sleeps in the morning I learn to meditate. It's not easy because I'm one of those who think too much - and that doesn't help with meditation. But you know what, I've been trying to observe the world since this morning. Looking at the specks. For how the day wakes up. Mindfulness helps to stop thoughts from flowing. And what's more interesting - time stops flying,” she captioned the shot. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Glinka 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 Loves Mexican Food

Glinka is a huge fan of Mexican food, and loves to cook it at home for her friends and family. “There’s a tremendous amount of confidence-boosting and self-esteem boosting, performing an act like cooking for others,” says Julie Ohana, a licensed masters clinical social worker and culinary art therapist. “And that’s part of what lends itself to those psychological effects about being able to do something that you feel really good about.”

2. She Meditates

Glinka likes to start her day with meditation. “If you have unproductive worries,” says Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, a psychiatrist at the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress Disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “You might think ‘I’m late, I might lose my job if I don’t get there on time, and it will be a disaster!’ Mindfulness teaches you to recognize, ‘Oh, there’s that thought again. I’ve been here before. But it’s just that—a thought, and not a part of my core self.’”

3. She Gets Spa Facials

Glinka takes care of her skin with regular facials, which she considers “me time”. “Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems,” says the Mayo Clinic. “To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Get enough sleep, set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.”

4. She Loves To Ski

Glinka enjoys taking skiing trips with her family. “Exercise can be a mental distraction from worrisome thoughts. We also know that being out in nature generally enhances our sense of well-being, so exercise that takes place outdoors, such as skiing in this study, should be especially helpful,” says James Maddux, a professor emeritus in the department of psychology at George Mason University in Virginia. “Engaging in a period of exercise can lead to a sense of accomplishment and a greater sense of self-efficacy (or self-confidence) that can lead to lower anxiety.”

5. She Enjoys Mango

Glinka loves to eat fruit, especially delicious mango. “Mangos are a good source of protective compounds with antioxidant properties, these plant chemicals include gallotannins and mangiferin,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Both have been studied for their ability to counter the oxidative stress associated with day to day living and exposure to toxins. As with other plant foods many of these compounds are found in and just beneath the skin. A 2012 study looking at the peel of mangoes concluded that it may play a role in preventing obesity, thanks to the plant chemicals located there.”

Elle Macpherson isn’t just a supermodel who wants to look good; she believes in healthy living, as co-founder the supplement and wellness company WelleCo. So when she gives healthier living advice, it’s usually coming from a real place. For example, today she shared a photo of herself in a swimsuit, with her eyes closed, subtitled “Morning meditations.” (She tagged Mathilde Favier, the Public Relations Manager at @dior, for the “day in the life beauty challenge.”) How does she keep so fit and together?

1. She Meditates

You don’t need to be solo in a studio with your legs crossed to meditate (though that certainly works). Meditation is about being present, focusing on your breath, and calming the mind by allowing thoughts to pass without judgement. Can’t do that on your own? No biggie. Download an app like Calm or Headspace, which will walk you through guided meditations, working to improve your breathing and, in turn, bring your cortisol levels back to normal. “I wake at around 5.30am, I set my intentions for the day, I try to be kind to myself and check in, to understand how I am feeling in my body and my mind. I try to take about 30 minutes every morning to meditate. It helps keep me stay balanced and feel strong and confident,” Macpherson told GettheGloss.

2. De-Stressing Helps You Lose Weight

When you’re feeling overwhelmed by your stress and you allow it to run rampant, the effects on your body is nothing short of disastrous. “Stress in and of itself can literally shut down your metabolism,” says Jeffrey A. Morrison, M.D., C.N.S, an expert in integrative medicine and metabolism issues. “It is tremendously metabolically draining. Remember: your thyroid is the ignition switch for your metabolism.” That’s why meditation works. Chilling out has a direct impacton stress. Research out of Georgetown University Medical Center finds that after an eight-week course in mindful meditation, people with anxiety disorders lowered inflammatory markers and stress hormones in their blood by 15 percent.

In addition to using her own brand of WelleCo products, “I’ll take a handful of natural organic pea sprouts with another handful of natural organic sunflower sprouts, then add a pinch of broccoli, some alfalfa sprouts and half an avocado. I drizzle a mix of lemon juice, avocado and coconut aminos, otherwise I enjoy a tahini dressing – manuka honey, apple cider vinegar and a handful of sprouted seeds over the top,” she told Dr. Barbara Strum. Avocado is indeed a superfood. Research conducted in Mexico found that monounsaturated-rich oil pressed from the fruit can help mitochondria survive attack. Researchers say the results jive with low-disease rates in Mediterranean countries where olive oil—nutritionally similar to the avocado—is a diet staple.

“I believe in maintenance, I’m not a big binge and purge person. I think it’s really important to maintain wellness year-round. Not because it looks good but it actually feels good – which is really important when you’re running a business and you’ve got kids and a full life. It’s easy – I just make good choices and I enjoy the choices that I make. I really enjoy a plant-based diet, I love vegetables,” she said once.

5. Here’s Her Eating Schedule

“I have three meals a day and two snacks, mid-morning and afternoon. I have a bit to eat with my son at 6:30am after my drinks. I might have a poached egg sometimes, or half an avocado or some muesli that I make in the dehydrator with nuts and seeds and a little bit of coconut and cinnamon, and I’ll mix that with some fresh hemp or almond milk that I make myself,” she has said.
