How does the actress approach health and fitness? Read on to see 10 of Vanessa Hudgens’ top tips for staying 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. Work Out Every Day

Vanessa doesn’t skip a workout. “I would do seven days if I had time,” she told Parade about her approach to fitness. “I love starting my day off that way because sometimes I’ll have a less productive days and if I’ve gotten a workout in, then I feel like I’m accomplished no matter what.”

2. You Don’t Need to Do a Lot of Cardio

Vanessa doesn’t do as much cardio as she used to. "My fitness has taken a turn. Cardio has been put on the back burner, and I'm very OK with that,” she told Shape. “The things that have become the most important are balance and mental health.”

3. Lift Weights

Vanessa is a huge fan of The Dogpound gym, where she does a lot of strength training and weight lifting. “During the pandemic, when everything was paused, I created a little community. I'd get my friends together over Zoom and we would do Isaac Boots's live workout classes. As the world started to reopen, I found myself obsessed with Dogpound,” she explained to Shape. “I go with my best friend; we're extremely competitive. We have the best time — the amount of dancing we do between sets is ridiculous. Everyone knows when we're at the gym. They say they hear us before they see us.” She also revealed one of her favorite moves, squats with a rack, “and I love to see how much weight I can add to the bar.”

4. Mix Up Your Workouts

Vanessa does a lot of different workouts to prevent a plateau. “My body builds muscle very quickly and I don’t love the way it looks on my body. So I find the way that I achieve the body that I want for myself is to lengthen, to lean and to tone,” she told Parade. Pilates, Soul Cycle, and hot yoga are all on her roster. “I’ve been going to this Pilates studio called WundaBar for years and it’s just a great deep muscle-training workout. It’s not super high intensity but I always feel it the next day.” And, doing Pilates on a reformer, “works your muscles like nothing else,” she told Shape.

5. Double Up on Workouts

If you feel motivated, do two workouts in a day a la Vanessa. “And some days when I have the time, I love doing Pilates first and then going over to Soul Cycle. I love a double up!” she told Parade. “I always feel so accomplished when I double up.

6. Utilize the Workout Buddy System

"I'm the type of person that needs to be in a class," Vanessa explained to PopSugar. "I need someone telling me what to do, and I love being in a group environment because I'm very competitive, so it pushes me to work harder than I would if I was by myself."

7. Prep for Workouts Ahead of Time

Vanessa sets herself up for exercise success. “I normally sign up for a class the night before so I don’t even have time to think about it and just wake up to having to go to workout. If I don’t do it first thing in the morning it normally does not happen,” she said.

8. Eat Healthy

Vanessa is a fan of clean eating. "My overall food philosophy is, if it's real, I'll eat it,” she told Shape. “Many things are processed and contain chemicals and ingredients I can't pronounce. I want real food. If I'm in Italy, and I see them making pasta by hand, or if it grows from the earth, that's real. I stay away from the processed stuff. I also don't eat meat. I'm a pescatarian. What animals go through is so inhumane. That's not a system that I support.”

9. Try Intermittent Fasting

Vanessa is one of the many stars who is into intermittent fasting. “I eat two bigger meals a day instead of three,” she told Shape. Breakfast will be an avocado, “maybe vegan sausage, and a piece of healthy bread,” she dished. “Dinner depends on my mood. I let myself have what I want. If that's a big bowl of spaghetti with clams and a glass of wine, then that's what I'm eating. Sometimes I crave a salad, and I'll make a big one with nuts and goat cheese and salmon. Other times, it's tacos and a margarita. I've learned that when I try to be super conscientious of everything I put into my mouth, all I can think about is food. But when I listen to my body and eat what I want, that's when I'm happiest.”

10. Be Empowered

Vanessa focuses on how exercise empowers her. "At my fittest, I feel unstoppable,” she told Shape. “You think, 'There's no way I can get through 30 reps.' But then you do, and you remind yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to,” she explained. “Those little victories should always be celebrated. That's what contributes joy and happiness and power and strength to your life.”

From movie premieres to vacations poolside, celebs always look to be living their best life. This week was no exception, as Vanessa Hudgens, Heidi Klum, Paris Hilton, Salma Hayek and more shared their best looks. How do they manage to look so fit while staying so busy? Read on to see the ways 7 celebrity women stay 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. Vanessa Hudgens

Hudgens shared a photo of her and friend GG Magree getting ready for Halloween—as cheerleaders. Here’s Hudgens best “wellness hack”: “Just drinking a lot of water. It’s something that’s so easy to forget about but when I’m tired, I know I’m dehydrated, and when my skin’s not great, I know I’m dehydrated. It’s just so important to drink a ton of water,” she told the Cut. Wellness to her is: “An overall state of happiness. I think that when you have a healthy body and mind, you can’t help but be happy in life.”

2. Heidi Klum

Klum posted a photo of her with room service wearing the new SKIMS x Fendi ready-to-wear collaboration. How does Klum know she’s in shape? "I always eat what I like to eat, but if I can’t fit into my jeans, I know that it’s time to cut back on carbs a little," she has said, according to Self. Sometimes she shares her treadmill workouts on social media, and commenters pounce. "They say things like, 'Oh my gosh you’re so slow.' But I’m like, 'This is not a competition,'" says Klum. "It’s just about getting your heart rate up and doing as much as you can and want to do."

3. Michelle Heaton

Heaton posted a no filter photo of herself, proudly. “I have no doubt I will or would have been scrolling down at some unpleasant very damaging comments at my scars sags and age. Unfortunately no matter how hard we try to only see the good and beautiful comments one bad can cause so much pain!” she captioned it. “so today I embrace that - might not happen often but I can today! And I’ve thrown in a touched up fake me at the end .. I don’t look like that I look like this.”

4. Paris Hilton

Hilton posted a Halloween-y photo this week. This is Hilton’s ideal sleep situation: “A very dark and cold room that's like 66 degrees, an eye mask, ear plugs, at least 6 really soft pillows, a down comforter, the soft, velvety blanket that I travel everywhere with, and silk pajamas,” she told Well+Good.

5. Salma Hayek

Salma appeared at the Eternals premiere. For the upcoming House of Gucci movie, Hayek gained weight. "It was not even the end of the holiday yet, and I was like, 'Okay, bring me caftans!' " she said to InStyle for the July cover. Now she’s aiming to lose it. "I've lost very little. You go, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa.' You gain it so fast, but it takes so long to lose it," she said. Meditation helps her wellbeing. "It makes you experience your body with a lightness that's really delicious and satisfying," she said of meditation. "With the breathing and the going inside, you explore your body in a different way, and you learn not to go crazy with the expectations."

6. Maya Jama

Maya Jama—the English television, radio presenter and DJ—has found working out with people motivating. “In the first lockdown, I lived with friends and we all worked out together. It was good because when one person wasn’t feeling it, the others would get you in the mood,” Maya adds. “It’s harder, now I’m on my own.” “One of the best ways to stay motivated and achieve your weight-loss goals is to team up with a dependable fitness partner. Knowing that someone else is counting on you to show up can kick you into gear when you’re feeling sluggish and unmotivated. A fitness buddy can also talk with you while you’re exercising and make the experience more enjoyable,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Look for someone who’s motivated to stay active. You want a partner who will nudge you when you’re stuck on the couch, and who counts on you to do the same for him or her.”

7. Dua Lipa

“I love cooking and being surrounded by my favorite people, though I also love ordering from the fantastic restaurants in my area — especially as there’s no indoor seating at the moment due to the pandemic. With all the running around I do for work, it’s nice to come home, slow down, and connect with the food that nourishes my body and life,” the singer told Refinery29.

Hudgens tells Parade that her favorite way to stay in shape is by taking fitness classes. “I try to take one of these classes whenever I can, whenever my schedule allows it. Normally, that doesn't allow for seven days. I would do seven days if I had time.”

For Hyland, wellness starts with her mental health. “It really is this balance of mental, emotional and physical reality,” she says to People. “So if you’re feeling mentally and emotionally drained, or if you are in a very dark space, you have to pull the string on the other side to lift you up out of that.”

5. Sarah Has Changed Her Skincare Routine

Hyland tells People that she has started to prioritize her skincare in recent years. “As I got older, you start to be like, ‘Oh, I should probably be taking care of myself more and eating more greens than fast food and using moisturizers instead of not and really investing in myself.’ Rather than other trivial things.”

1. She Accepts Herself

Hudgens opened up about her wellness to Shape. She says that one of her secrets is finding acceptance in herself. “When you're fully accepting of who you are, and you stop trying to suppress pieces of yourself, you can conquer the world. I love how silly I am. I love how excitable I am. And I love that I'm finally at a place where I can access those things. Even the quirky stuff that might have been shut down by other people in the past, like being ridiculous with my friends, those are things I'm now allowing to thrive. For some people, I'm way too much. But I love who I am, and there's such power in that.”

2. She Celebrates Every Success

When it comes to fitness, Hudgens likes to celebrate her accomplishments. Even the little ones. She tells Shape, "At my fittest, I feel unstoppable. You think, 'There's no way I can get through 30 reps.' But then you do, and you remind yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. Those little victories should always be celebrated. That's what contributes joy and happiness and power and strength to your life."

3. She Does Squats With Weights

Hudgens has amazing legs. Naturally, she does a lot of lower body workouts. She revealed one of her go-to exercises to Shape. “I do squats with a rack,” she says. “I love to see how much weight I can add to the bar. That's empowering.”

Hudgens admits that she isn’t always motivated to work out, especially when she’s on her own. She tells Women’s Health that she likes to workout with her friends to help her stay committed. “To be self-motivated consistently is almost a daydream,” she said. “I reach out to friends to hold me accountable.”

5. She Loves Avocado

Hudgens eats a healthy diet. She makes sure to get enough healthy fat into her daily diet, and she has a favorite source of it. "I eat a whole avocado every day," she told Women's Health. "I need high fats. If I'm not getting enough, my body holds on to calories. We've been trained to think that fats are bad, but they're so good – a source of energy and sustenance that keeps you going through the day."

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 Swims

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 … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
