Olympic athlete Queen Harrison Claye doesn’t need fancy filters and photo editing to look her absolute best, judging by some recent social media updates. Claye shared a picture of herself posing in the pool in a blue bikini, showing off her glowing skin and enviable physique. “A Summer in Hotlanta ☀️ 🌊 💙👙☀️ #thesunismyfilter,” she captioned the post. The 34-year-old hurdler and sprinter is passionate about working out, incorporating a variety of different exercises into her regimen and even training as a dance instructor. Here are 5 ways Claye approaches health, wellness, and staying strong.


1. HIIT Workouts

Claye enjoys fast and furious HIIT workouts like the one she shares in this video:

  • Jump rope for 30 seconds
  • Split jump for 30 seconds
  • Rest for 20 seconds
  • High-knee jump rope for 30 seconds
  • Mountain climber for 30 seconds
  • Rest again for 20 seconds
  • Jump rope for 30 seconds
  • Bodyweight squats for 30 seconds
  • Rest for 20 seconds
  • Double-bounce jump rope for 30 seconds
  • Finish with isometric squats for 30 seconds

2. Certified Dance Instructor

Claye lifts weights and does dance-based workouts on top of her usual running workouts. “I love to stay active. I do a lot of lifting in the weight room, which helps with my sprinting and hurdling. I love dynamic movement, but I also love to dance, which is a little-known fact about me. I’m a certified Zumba instructor. I love to express myself through dance… Whether it’s the release of endorphins on a leisure run, or a competition that I’ve won, I love that I get to put forth my best effort,” she says. “That feeling of accomplishment has done wonders for my emotional and mental health. I also like the simpler, physical aspects of it. I mean, how else am I going to get hamstrings and glutes like this, other than running my butt off?! Really though, I love it for all the things it's brought to my life and to myself. Running introduced me to my husband, and it’s helped me support my family, so there are just so many great things about being a track athlete.”

3. Cardio, Pilates, Yoga

Claye does at-home workouts with her sisters, a habit started during the pandemic lockdowns. “Five days a week, my five sisters and I get on Zoom and we work out together,” she says. “We all have a day—for example, on Monday I’ll lead the workout and we’ll do a high intensity interval type of training. And then on Tuesday, my baby sister leads the workout, so we’ll do Pilates or yoga. And then on Wednesday, maybe a cardio day; and Thursday dance or something like that. What’s been cool is staying connected to family and friends through working out. So that’s what working out looks like to me now.”

4. Protecting Her Skin

Claye has become diligent about protecting her skin from the sun over the years. “I won’t lie and say that I’ve always used sunscreen,” she admits. “I used to be that person that was like, ‘I’m a Black woman. We really don’t need sunscreen,’ which is a falsity. Sometimes the issue with sunscreens is they’ll leave a white cast on my complexion, but IMAGE Skincare PREVENTION+ Daily Matte Moisturizer Oil-Free SPF 32 works very well. It doubles as a moisturizer and sunscreen, so I’m not piling more stuff on my face when I have to work out and sweat. It’s a two-for-one!”

5. Positive Attitude

Claye tries to focus on the positive when it comes to competing and not always winning. “In a perfect world, it'd be great to motivate myself to keep pushing no matter what, but sometimes I have to understand there will be defeat,” she says. “Sometimes I won't feel my best, and I need to know how to navigate that. During those times, I try focusing on being the best version of myself. As a runner and hurdler, there are so many different aspects that I can improve: I can get faster on the track, I can get a better start out of the block, I can get over the hurdle faster, I can get stronger. So I just try to focus on something else, versus obsessing over how my hurdling is not going well on any given day.”

Spanish pole vaulting champion Clara Fernández is one of the most impressive athletes competing right now, and she trains incredibly hard to be a winner. Fernández shared pictures of herself wearing a swimsuit on her social media, and it’s clear from the post that building and maintaining muscle is something she has done for years. But how exactly does she train? Here are the exercises Fernández swears by for strength, speed, and agility.


1. She’s a Runner

Fernández’s training includes plenty of running—including long-distance running. "Any type of aerobic exercise has a positive effect on the heart," says Dr. Dan Meyer, chief of cardiac transplantation at Baylor Scott & White Health in Dallas. "Running is such an efficient mode of exercise. It can be relaxing and a stress reliever at times. I find it having as much emotional benefits as physical."

2. She’s Also a Swimmer

Fernández’s athletic background includes swimming, which is a great full-body workout. “Swimming works the heart and lungs,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “This trains the body to use oxygen more efficiently, which is generally reflected in declines in the resting heart rate and breathing rate. It uses the arms, the legs, and other muscle groups in between. This improves muscle strength and flexibility.”

3. She Cycles

Female,Cyclist,Riding,Racing,Bicycle,,Woman,Cycling,On,Countryside,SummerShutterstock

Cycling is another major part of Fernández’s background and training. “Cycling is one of the healthiest and low-impact forms of exercise - meaning it causes less strain and injuries than most other workouts,” say the experts at the University of Montana. “So it's a hobby you can continue to enjoy throughout your long life. And, unlike other forms of exercise, you won't dread doing it. Even if you take cycling seriously and go at it hard, the blood pumping and wind in your face is still exhilarating, even when it's difficult.”

4. Triathlon Star

Fernández takes part in triathlons (seriously, is there anything she can’t do?). Training is crucial for anyone wanting to take part in a triathlon, experts say. “Triathletes can suffer injuries from the compound effect of adding too much training without proper care and guidance,” says Gautam Yagnik, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute at Baptist Health South Florida. “Cross-conditioning is important and a key training element for triathletes, but proper preparation, stretching, hydration, periods of rest and other precautions should be taken to avoid overuse injuries.”

5. Dog Lover

Fernández loves animals, especially dogs, which are known to have health benefits for their owners. “An extensive number of studies in a wide range of journals and disciplines support that interactions with pets contribute to good health and quality of life and healing from serious illnesses and conditions,” says Dr. Maria Iliopoulou, an alumna of the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. “Pets can influence our emotional state, our sense of security and acceptance, and even our positive outlook on life.”

And for sticking to that. I am so proud of you for looking in the mirror and relearning how you deserve to feel about yourself. I am so proud of you for pushing yourself through the thoughts in your mind every single day and for choosing to be free. I am so proud of you. Because even in the harder moments. Even when your mind tricked you back into it, you kept pushing on in the fight. You were consistent and it wasn’t easy. You had everything going against you but you did it. And I have your bravery to thank for the absolute joy my life has been filled with since.”

And for ordering something off your meal plan. Your bravery that night changed everything.”

3. She Doesn’t Workout To Lose Weight

In the same reel, Cook also described how her workouts have changed on her path to recovery. She says that she no longer exercises for the purpose of losing weight, but rather to feel good. “I am so proud of you for starting to go to the gym to feel good, and not to set a calorie burn goal.”

Clare Bowen Young is enjoying the sunshine in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post, the Nashville star, who played Scarlett O’Conner on the hit show, looks incredible in a leoparding print bathing suit, posing on a boat with her husband, Brandon Young. “Aw you two!” commented one of her followers. How does the Aussie actress and singer stay mentally and physically fit? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.


1. She Rides Horses

Clare is an avid equestrian. “I've been riding since I was about three or four years old,” she told Self. “When you're out riding, you could be anywhere. I could be back in Australia for all I know. So it's nice not to have a place or time for a while,” continued, adding that “It feels rejuvenating.”

2. She Loves Chipotle

Clare is a big fan of Chipotle. “I live on guacamole and salsa and chips with lime. And brown rice and sometimes black beans,” she confessed to Self.

3. She Runs

“I really like running. I've got a beautiful dog and we go for runs,” Clare added to Self. 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.

4. She Strength Trains

Clare confessed to Shorefire that her favorite workout is “strength training when I can.” She also does the elliptical during her days at the gym.

5. Exercise Makes Her “Feel Better”

“I think people feel better if they exercise. It seems odd because you wake up in the morning and you think, ‘Oh, I can't get out of bed.’ But then you start -- it's especially best in the morning when it's a little bit chilly -- you take a deep breath and feel refreshed. I feel cleansed,” she told Self, adding that she sets time aside for her workouts. “You can't do these things rushed -- it's like having a rushed massage. That's not fun at all. It's that time to just be able to go, alright, I just have this little bit that is just mine and I will go back and give the rest of my time to this wonderful job that I have.”

6. She Also Likes These Exercises

Clare mixes in other fun workouts. “I really like kayaking, too. I live on a river at home in Australia, so we'll kayak everyday and swim. Climbing trees is really good exercise, too. People should do more of that. And hula hooping is pretty cool,” she told Self.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. 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.

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?
