Read on to see 5 ways Ross 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 Swears By the Tracy Anderson Method

Ross is a longtime devotee of the Tracy Anderson Method. “A mash up of this morning’s @tracyandersononlinestudio live stream class,” she captioned one Instagram video. “I did my best, did a lot of giggling and talking to myself and made some variations as best I could on the moves I couldn’t do (being extra careful). As you all know I love me some @tracyandersonmethod. I love the workouts and have been doing it for years. It keeps me strong and long with a little jiggle. Just like I like! We are usually in a 98 degree studio. My makeshift home space is not nearly as hot but this is working and wonderful. I’m so grateful. Thank you Tracy for your spirit and care. I miss the beautiful energy of our studio space, the Tracy team and all the regular members. As usual, sending deep gratitude to all those working in essential industries and wishing everyone joy, love and health. Leggings by @carbon38.”

2. Eggs For Lunch

Lunch usually consists of “hard-boiled egg with quinoa (seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper) and sautéed zucchini mixed with crushed Brazil nuts.” Eggs are a great lunch choice, says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “Whole eggs are nutritionally rich, supplying almost every nutrient you need,” Lewin says. “They are useful sources of some of the hard to get nutrients like vitamins D and B12 as well as the mineral iodine. Eggs are regarded as a ‘complete’ source of protein as they contain all nine essential amino acids, which we must obtain from our diet. Furthermore, if you choose brands enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, due to the diet the chickens are fed, you’ll benefit from higher omega-3 fatty acids as well as fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A and E.”

3. Steak and Salad For Dinner

A typical dinner for Ross is “broiled steak with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano, and a side salad of arugula with apples, onions, olive oil and lemon.” “Red meat has been an important part of the human diet throughout human evolution,” reads an article published by Cambridge University Press. “When included as part of a healthy, varied diet, red meat provides a rich source of high biological value protein and essential nutrients, some of which are more bioavailable than in alternative food sources.”

4. The Early Bird Special

Ross prefers to eat an early dinner over a late one. “My favorite meal of the day is an early dinner/late lunch between 4 and 6 pm,” Ross says. “I love going to one of my favorite restaurants once a week to have a glass of wine and a delicious meal.” Eating dinner three hours before bedtime at the very latest is ideal, says registered dietitian, MS, and LDN Rachel Swanson. “This recommendation is part of a bigger, and much more sophisticated, biological picture. The benefit of an early dinner has to do with the fact that as the day winds down, the body needs less food for energy and should be entering a fasting state. Capping your intake more than two hours before bed allows for an extended overnight fasting window to take place—the essential downtime your body needs to facilitate detoxification and cellular repair.”

5. She Protects Her Mental Health

“I asked to see a therapist at 12 years old,” Ross told The Cut. “And I think it’s really important to know that therapists are professionals; they are bound by law. That does not mean you should talk to everybody, and that does not mean you should share things before you feel safe enough to share them, and that does not mean just because you’ve met with a therapist, they’re the right therapist for you. There is an evolution and a growth happening within our community that is lessening the stigma of getting help. It’s the same way you wouldn’t try and do your accounting by yourself.”

Olivia Frazer is known for her time on the hit Australian reality series, Married At First Sight. This has lead to her being an active presence on Instagram. She shares a lot of gorgeous photos on her page. This week, Frazer posed in a white two-piece swimsuit with blue dots. She received praise from her followers in the comments. How does she stay so fit?

1. She’s Happy With Her Life

Frazer opened up about life after her divorce in an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. She says that she is now living life on her own terms. “Now I’m on OnlyFans, I’m single, I’m on the cover of Maxim - it’s the complete opposite. I think it’s the path that I was meant to be on and I’m where I’m meant to be. Every day I wake up and I'm just so happy with my life.”

2. She’s Taking Care Of Her Mental Health

Frazer tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she has started taking care of her mental health. “I still feel like there's a little bit of fine-tuning to do with my mental health, but it's the best it's been since I want to say even before MAFS started filming,” she remarks. “I'm just excited to wake up every day, which I haven’t felt for two years. Obviously the filming process was hard and then what we went through during filming was awful. And then Jackson and I, it was the wrong relationship. So being in a relationship that's not working as well as all this other stuff just really took a toll. So I think getting out of all of it, I made a very conscious choice a few months ago to just stop talking about all the drama and all the bad stuff... Unless I’m asked a direct question, I just don’t interact with it or take the bait or anything like that, and it's just serving me really well.”

3. She Got Surgery

Frazer notably lost a lot of weight in recent years. She revealed on Instagram that she decided to get weight-loss surgery as a way to do so. “Surgery [is] the last thing anybody ever wants to do. It is the last resort. It’s not fun not being able to eat like everybody else, it’s not fun to not be able to drink like everybody else.”

4. She Defends Herself

Frazer has had to defend herself due to being seen as a reality TV villain. She recently clapped back when a photo of her was taken without her consent. “I was spotted applying for a casual job at a makeup store. Absolutely disgusting because a photo was taken of me in my job interview that I did not know was being taken. It’s a huge disgusting invasion of privacy.”

5. She Swims

Frazer spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. Frazer posted this set of photos of herself in Bali. In the first photo, she is seen taking a dip in a pool. She captioned the post, “Bali. And I might like the color green.” Frazer also shared this pool photo, captioning it, “More relaxing times.”

Tracee Ellis Ross just shared a special swimsuit selfie. She spent the 4th of July weekend in a green bathing suit. The Black-ish star, who is behind Pattern, the product for curly, coily & tight-textured hair, looks fantastic for any age, much less at 49. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Gets Her Sleep

"I’ve tried to choose sleep over working out, which I think is the right choice," she said on Instagram. “Keep your room cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light in the evenings might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep.”

2. She Stays Grateful

"I’m so grateful to be living this life I’m in. I’ve worked so hard to feel good in my skin and to build a life that truly matches me and I’m in it and it feels good. I remain curious and teachable and so it will all keep getting better." “Gratitude everyday can bring happiness into your life, and that’s healthy. You can make an impact on your own life and the lives of others by practicing gratitude,” says the Mayo Clinic. Amit Sood, M.D., a Mayo Clinic stress management and resiliency expert tells the site that you can “cultivate deeper gratitude by being thankful for the simple and the ordinary. It will help you become happier and more resilient.”

3. She Works Out Three to Four Times a Week

“According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the ideal workout regimen balances cardiovascular work and strength training. Their guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity each week or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes three days a week. Additionally, you should do strength training twice a week,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. She Has Done Tracy Anderson's Workout

"I have to say that Tracy Anderson's workout the last five years has been really good for me," Tracee told Health. “People want a quick fix. They want magic to get them connected because they didn’t show up for themselves for so long. All of a sudden you feel uncomfortable and you feel disconnected and you desperately want to get reconnected, so you want a quick fix. You want it to be a juice cleanse, you want it to be a diet pill, you want it to be a fitness trend. And it’s not,” Anderson told The Cut.

5. Strength Training Really Works

“You lose muscle mass as you get older,” says orthopaedic surgeon Anne Marie Chicorelli, DO to the Cleveland Clinic. “And it’s important to recognize that. People ask me all the time, ‘Well, I walk every day. Isn’t that enough?’ and I will respond, ‘That’s great for your cardiovascular health, but it doesn’t do as much for your strength.’ Strength training, weight training and jogging are impact activities that increase your bone health and decrease your risk for fractures. And make sure to talk to your primary care provider before initiating an exercise program.”
