Read on to see 5 ways Tessa Virtue 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 Confident

Virtue revealed her wellness secrets in an interview with Canadian Living. She says that one of her secrets to success is being confident with herself. “To me, beauty is all about how you feel in your skin and how you present yourself to the world. That stems from confidence, as well as knowing who you are and what you stand for. Being sure about what you want – and going after it fearlessly – is all intermingled with skincare, beauty, and fashion."

2. She Makes Sure Her Body Recovers

Being an athlete isn’t just about staying in shape, it’s making sure your body is recovering. Virtue tells Canadian Living that a lot of her training involves conditioning. "As an older athlete, the balance of work and recovery has become more important. Much of a training day is devoted to treatment – we work with a massage therapist, an osteopath, and a physiotherapist.” Virtue also says that she makes time to recover at the end of the day. “I love lighting candles, putting Epsom salts in the bathtub, putting on a 'chill' playlist and soaking – it's a great way to decompress, unwind, and let my mind calm down. I also like to do a digital detox. We are all so accessible on our devices all the time, it's important to take moments to be present and mindful."

3. She Keeps Her Mental Health Right

Virtue tells Canadian Living that keeping her mental health and state healthy is just as important as keeping her body healthy. “There is a lot of mental prep work, as well, so Scott and I work with a sport psychologist. We have a bit of an entourage, but all of those facets of our preparation are so important and set us up for key moments on the ice when it all comes down to a three or four minute performance."

4. She Stays Hydrated

Virtue tells Canadian Living that one of her wellness secrets is staying hydrated each day. “I drink a lot of water,” she says. "The first thing I do every morning is have a glass of hot water with lemon for its alkalinity and detox effects.”

5. She Eats A Balanced Diet

Virtue broke down her diet secrets in an interview with Strong Fitness Magazine. She says that her diet is all about finding a balance between eating healthy and indulging. “If I had to categorize my diet it would be just eating clean. I make sure to get lots of protein, and I love fruits and vegetables. However, I also leave room for treats. I’m a sucker for any and all kinds of dessert, and I’ve learned not to deprive myself, but rather maintain a healthy balance.”

Kate Upton is celebrating Pride Month in not just one swimsuit but many. “What better reason to wear rainbow… Happy #PrideMonth! Swipe to see some of my favorite colorful looks over the years 🌈✨,” she captioned it. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit legend still looks cover-ready at age 29. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kate Upton 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 Focuses on Her Overall Health

"I decided I needed to learn about our bodies," shared Upton, according to Shape. "I wanted to know what it was all about. Why are we working out? Not to get skinny, 'cause that couldn't motivate me anymore. Because I was just dead inside on that subject.” As a result, Upton launched a beauty line in partnership with Found Active.

2. She Was Ogled Early in Her Career

"Everybody was oohing and ahhing and taking secret photos of me and being like, 'You love this attention, don't you?'" she said on the Skimm podcast about her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit pary at age 19. "That was my last pool party. I never would get in any kind of bikini in front of people [again] because it was just too overwhelming."

3. She Does Strength-Based Circuit Training

“A typical circuit training workout includes about 8-10 exercise stations. After completing a station, instead of resting, you move quickly to the next station. A muscular strength and endurance circuit alternates muscle groups, such as upper body, lower body and core, so little or no rest is needed in between stations,” says ACE Fitness.

4. She De-Stressed with Exercise

"Depending on where they were shooting, we did five to seven days a week, usually pretty late at night for 60 to 90 minutes. I would have to get a babysitter to watch my girls and train her. It was very, very intense. It served two purposes: de-stressing and toning,” Upton's trainer, David Kirsch, told Elle Australia.

5. She Was There for Her Husband

Upton’s partner Justin Verlander revealed to the Bleacher Report that “I was depressed and kind of just upset at the world and trying to hide my own” stuff.” And Upton? “She was what I needed,” he said. “I don’t like to talk to people about being hurt. As athletes, you’re not supposed to. It’s an excuse,” he said. "But she was someone I could talk to. I mean, basically a therapist. Somebody I could trust with…worries about my career. Worries about, can I make it? Worries about what I’m going through to get back. And just the overall” badness “of it all.”

1. She’s Prioritizing Her Wellness

In 2021, Biles told People that the pandemic allowed her to reassess her life. Specifically, she started to make her wellness a priority. "This past year has really been about taking a pause and trying to focus on all the good things in life. I've slowed down a bit and been able to take more time for overall wellness.” To cope during these tough times, "Regular physical activity and exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve mood. Find an activity that includes movement, such as dance or exercise apps. Get outside, such as a nature trail or your own backyard," says the Mayo Clinic. "Choose a well-balanced diet. Avoid loading up on junk food and refined sugar. Limit caffeine as it can aggravate stress, anxiety and sleep problems."

2. She Uses A Jade Roller

Biles has incredible skin and she is making sure to take care of it. One of the things she likes to do is use a jade roller on her face. She tells People, “I recently started using this jade roller. It's really relaxing – like a mini facial that I can do at home."

3. She Uses Homemade Hair Products

When it comes to her hair, Biles stays away from store bought products. She tells People that she uses homemade local products on her hair. “I have someone who does my hair in Houston. She makes her own products which is really fun! I always use those."

4. She Calls Out Body Shamers

Biles is not afraid to call people out on Twitter, specifically body-shamers. In 2016, she called out people who were making comments about her body. “You all can judge my body all you want, but at the end of the day it's MY body," she wrote. "I love it and I'm comfortable in my skin."

5. She’s Proud Of Herself

One of the reasons Biles doesn’t pay attention to haters? She’s comfortable with herself. She tells POPSugar, "I also don't look at comments or anything just because I'm grateful and I love everything about myself, and I'm proud of who I am inside and out. That's definitely helped me not think about it."

Andersson broke down her daily routine to GetTheGloss. She says that her wellness routine begins first thing in the morning. She says that she loves meditating and green juice each morning. “I wake up between 5 and 6 am and start my day off with meditation. I then light incense and my assistant makes sure I have a fresh juice made from celery, kale, ginger, apple, ready first thing on an empty stomach.”

2. She Unwinds At Night

Andersson tells GetTheGloss that she likes to relax at night. She says that she’s also working on not using her phone too much. "After work I like to unwind with the gym, movies, reading and journaling and always use lavender spray on my pillow at night. Every day is different but I make sure I end my day without using my phone too much."

3. She Wants To Inspire Others

Andersson has gone through a lot in her life. She says that she wants to inspire others, and let them know that they aren’t alone.

She talked about the importance of it in this Instagram video. “I feel so sad that body positivity isn’t what it truly means anymore and that it overrides how good your mind feels and it’s only down to the exterior of us,” she wrote. “Body positivity, to me, is feeling comfortable in our own skin no matter what shape or size and accepting every part of us. It’s also about having a healthy mindset and approach to ourselves.”

Bardsley decided to start posting exercise and diet tips on her Instagram. She explained why in her Metro interview. “I started Tanya’s Body Goals and did a mop workout yesterday using things people have got in the house like an old handbag with tins of beans in as weights because not everyone has the equipment. I did a workout for people who are on a laptop all day but you can hear the kids trying to batter each other in the background and me saying, ‘Put the stick down, Ralphi!’ I haven’t got time to film it twice, so I had to put it out there.”

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
