The Sakara Life co-founder shows off her beautiful body in a bathing suit via one of her latest social media posts. “In: posting things late on instagram so you can actually live in the moment while they’re happening,” she captioned the Instagram snap. “Tb to an incredible first few weeks of the new year, celebrating another trip around the sun, getting in some adult time, and sharing the things you love with people you love.” How does the wellness influencer and guru stay so fit and healthy? Read on to see 7 ways Whitney Tingle 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 Does Yoga

Whitney’s main form of fitness is yoga. “There are two times for me that I really felt best in my body; one, was when I was doing my yoga teacher training. I was doing yoga every day and just feeling really IN my body. I developed a lot of flexibility and strength. I felt like I could do anything in my body. The other time I'd say, is right now, just coming back from 10 days of doing yoga every single day at the Sivananda Ashram,” she revealed in the Sakara Life blog.

2. She Eats Healthy 7 Days a Week

Healthy eating is at the core of Whitney’s health plan. “I know that I get to eat healthy food every day of the week. That's what keeps my body in balance. When I'm not eating this way everyday of the week, then I start thinking about food and my body and exercise a lot more," she said in the blog.

3. She Views Food As Medicine

Whitney started Sakara Life with the intention of creating food to nourish from the inside out. “We made it our mission to transform lives through food as medicine. We needed to figure out what it would mean to eat in the healthiest way possible; no extremes but it had to work and it had to taste good (Danielle never wanted to diet again!). We spent years studying, researching and talking to everyone we could find—shamans, integrative doctors, gastroenterologists, acupuncturists, MDs—we found the common threads of ancient nutrition modalities like Macrobiotics and Ayurveda and cutting-edge nutrition science to create what is now Sakara’s 9 Pillars of Nutrition,” she told Rip and Tan.

4. She Believes in “Eating Your Water

Whitney and co-founder Danielle Duboise believe in hydration via food. “Eating your water is one of our most critical pillars— when you eat water-rich foods, you hydrate on a cellular level plus the added benefits of the fiber and phytonutrients help to lock in that hydration,” they told Rip and Tan, adding that hydrated cells and organs “help detoxify your body, increase blood flow, help provide energy and balance your hormones. Processed foods are incredibly dehydrating, which is why we love to fill our plates with fiber-rich, whole clean plants and fruits.”

5. She Eats “Beauty Chocolates”

Whitney created chocolate that is actually healthy and great for your skin. “Our Beauty Chocolates have plant ceramides that go through your bloodstream and replenish your skin from the inside. Women will go out and get botox, but as we age we start to loose the lipids in our skin, and that’s when you develop dry skin and wrinkles. These chocolates help replenish that,” she told Coveteur.

6. She Hikes

Whitney also enjoys getting outside and going for a hike. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

7. She “Eats the Rainbow”

Whitney encourages a colorful diet. “Filling your plate with a variety of beautiful, bright produce is one of the easiest ways to know you’re getting a diverse array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals—and why “Eat the Rainbow” is one of our @sakaralife nine foundational Pillars of Nutrition,” she explained in a recent. “It’s easy to get in the habit of eating the same thing over and over, like steamed broccoli for dinner every night or the same chopped salad at lunchtime, but that's only providing your body with one nutrient profile. For optimal health, our body needs many nutrient profiles to stimulate the growth of different bacteria inside the gut, which builds up the immune system. A robust immune system = a body that's more resilient and resistant to infections or inflammation that can cause anything from digestive issues to acne to chronic disease.”⁠

1. This is Her Favorite Way to Break a Sweat

“I have been doing a lot of Sculpt, Cardio Boxing and Yoga Classes on the obé Fitness App and virtual classes with Pilates By Amanda. If I don't have a lot of time, I will do Lauren Gores' express workouts on her Instagram. Next week, I am starting Megan Roup's The Sculpt Society which I am really excited about. AND I am dying to try The Class by Taryn Toomey,” she tells E! Online.

2. She Maintains a Positive Mindset

“Try to stay strong, so I can look back on this time and be proud of the partner, mom and individual I was able to be. That doesn't mean I push down sadness or anxiety when it comes. I feel those feelings and let them come out. Releasing them is the only way to actually work through them. I wake up each morning and tell myself, "It is going to be a good day," to have a positive mindset. I really try to step outside of myself to make sure I am keeping a healthy perspective,” she tells E! Online.

3. She Does Yoga

Hot yoga is my favorite favorite workout—it’s the thing that I’ve seen my body reacts to the best and also makes me feel the best on the inside,” she told Yoga Journal, adding that she tries to practice three times a week.

4. This is Her Go-To Snack

“Handfuls of roasted, unsalted almonds, a slice of sourdough bread with cashew butter and sliced bananas, a smoothie (mine usually have whole milk Greek yogurt, ice, a handful of spinach, some pineapple, whatever milk I have [right now, it is Forager Coconut Cashew Oat], a banana, half an avocado, two dates, a dash of cinnamon and sometimes a scoop of nut butter),” she told E!.

5. She Listens to Her Body

Port-Rosenman has suffered miscarriages and been public about them. It has proved cathartic. "I am trying my hardest to set boundaries, listen to my body, AND not feel guilty about it," she wrote. "Thank you to everyone for the outpouring of support and love yesterday. It felt weird to talk about my pregnancy so early, but it didn't feel right to hold it in. Now we can REALLY go through this process together with no secrets, no hiding, just truths." She added: "And for all of you who reached out, even telling me you were pregnant and hadn't told anyone yet, I am sending so much love and strength your way," continued Port. "No matter what happens with any of us, we are WHOLE human beings who deserve a lot of love and nothing to be ashamed of."

Plath has a lot of hobbies. Recently, she has started to take up dancing as a way to stay in shape. She posted this series of photos on Instagram of herself taking a ballroom class. Plath captioned the post, “4th dance class! Ballroom dancing has been one of my favorite things I’ve done for myself recently!” "Enjoy dancing? Any style of dance ballroom, square dance, line dance, 5Rhythms, contra, Zumba — combines the benefits of physical activity and social interaction," says the Cleveland Clinic. "In a study of memory-impaired older adults, those randomized to one-hour ballroom dance lessons twice a week for 10 months improved in multiple areas of brain function, as well as mood and behavior."

2. She Rides Horses

Another of Plath’s hobbies is riding horses. Even in the water. Plath posted this set of photos on Instagram, of herself riding in the water in Tampa. She captioned the post, “You can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl!”

3. She Hikes

She posted this reel of herself hiking on a trail, captioning it, “Too much to see out there to stay in one place for too long.” She also posted this set of photos from the same trip, captioning it, “I’ve wanted to see Utah since I was 11. When someone would ask me what my favorite state was, I would say Utah even though I had never been. I guess it was just my heart calling me out here, cause this is definitely one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!”

4. She Goes To The Beach

Plath loves to spend time by the water and at the beach. She posted this set of photos on Instagram from a trip she took to Maine, which featured her enjoying time by the water. She captioned the post, “Just a few pics from our Maine trip!” Plath also posted this set of photos of herself enjoying time by a waterfall in Hawaii. She captioned the post, “Okay, I’m just gonna leave a piece of my heart right here! I have never been so awestruck in my life! This waterfall took my breath away!”

5. She’s True To Herself

Plath is in the public eye, but that doesn’t mean that she listens to people’s opinions of her. Plath stays true to herself, and talked about it in this Instagram post. She wrote, “I can listen to y’all’s opinions but at the end of the day this is MY life and I will be the one living with the ‘good’ or ‘bad’ decisions I make… though I will say, I don’t see them as good or bad decisions but as learning curves!”

1. She Hydrates

Whitney is big on hydration, but not just with water. “Drinking water…I don't know, staying hydrated is just something I'm not normally good at but I've been trying to get into tea a lot more,” she told Byrdie. “I found this company, Art of Tea, based out of Los Angeles. Their teas are really delicious and they're packaged so cute. I think staying hydrated is easier when there's a little flavor to it and it's still healthy.”

2. She Takes “Me” Time

Whitney prioritizes self-care. One way she does this is by making sure to get in some alone time every day. In one of her Instagram Stories she revealed that she wakes up “about 1-2 hours before the boys.” So she “sneaks out” and takes a walk, does a workout, listens to an audible book, or grabs coffee.

3. She Does Hot Yoga

Whitney is big into yoga. But her favorite kind is hot yoga. “Love it,” she wrote in one of her INstagram Stories post-workout. “Love the heat. Love everything about hot yoga.”

4. She Meditates

Whitney meditates regularly. On the Wellness tab of her Instagram account she regularly shares her meditation and reveals that she often relies on the Calm app for guided meditation. “The word meditation usually makes people think of old men sitting cross-legged on a mountain with their eyes closed, but it can be incorporated into daily life pretty easily,” she says on her website, suggesting that you set aside ten or fifteen minutes a day for meditating.

5. She Drinks Green Juice

Whitney doesn’t buy into all the Hollywood diet trends, but she does drink green juice. "For all of the hype, drinking a green juice really is one of the best things you can do for your body. It’s a straight shot of nutrients, minerals, and live enzymes – helping to increase energy, aid digestion, and boost your immune system. Her go-to? Our Morning Greens, a blend of Kale, Spinach, Romaine, Cucumber, Apple, Lemon, Ginger," she said.

Sailor Brinkley Cook, the model (and daughter of Christie), wore her “dream set” swimsuit over Memorial Day, and hung out with friends. While her fit figure is always an inspiration, Sailor is also a fountain of feel-good advice about how to think about yourself, in a world of judgements and self-criticism. How does she stay so fit and keep a fresh perspective? Read on to see 5 ways Sailor Brinkley Cook 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 Reminds You That Tomorrow is Another Day

“Today feels like sunshine and rainbows and all the most beautiful colors. I feel so happy and hopeful. Crazy to think just 2 days ago I was scared and hurting because i was feeling the darkest i’ve felt mentally in a long time. In that moment I didn’t think i’d feel this good again. This is your sign to keep going because tomorrow could be the most beautiful, bright day. The world NEEDS you around 💕🌻🌱✨☀️♥️ I LOVE YOU!” she wrote once.

2. She Says We Should Celebrate Ourselves

Sailor-Brinkley-Cook-1Sailor Brinkley Cook/Instagram

Sailor appeared on Good Morning America in a segment that focused on an eating disorder. “I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” she wrote in an Instagram Story in responce. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and Deborah [Roberts], and have nothing negative to say about either one.” However: “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets. But when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational,” she wrote. “I ONLY agreed to do it during this awful time in America because I thought it would be a small beacon of positivity for people who have dealt with the same things as me.” She added: “I did NOT want to throw a pity party for myself. I did NOT want the interview to be highlighting the dark times. 95% of what I said during the interview got cut. Including thank you to health care workers & essential workers, as well as acknowledging how awful and heartbreaking this time is for so many.” She concluded: “We have to collectively learn to praise and CELEBRATE ourselves more often, because life passes by so quickly and it’s a shame to spend so much of it worrying that you aren’t good enough,” she wrote. “Because as long as you’re here on Earth and you have a body to love and voice to be heard YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH and you deserve happiness.”

3. She Says You are an Important Part of the Universe

“This is me, feeling down. But the sun shone right into my window and some birds flew right next to my car, at the same moment. They were my reminders today that it’s all alright. And to anyone who’s going through it right now. Heres your reminder. You are an important part of this universe and i love you,” she captioned the post.

4. She Says This About Body Image

Celebrities Visit Hallmark Channel's "Home & Family"Paul Archuleta/Getty Images

“I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember. I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it. I don't know why I always felt that way, sure I had baby fat and definitely went through a plethora of awkward phases, but I had a family that loved me i had friends who made me laugh etc. But for some reason I still looked in the mirror and always somehow found something to pick on. I went from being ‘too fat’ to ‘too thin’ to ‘too muscular’ and I never felt satisfied. My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, i treat myself well, and for that i'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable'. I now have grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't need to be a size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and every day, it loves the people i love, it holds what makes me healthy and strong, it bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is okay and that is beautiful,” she once wrote.

5. She Has This Message for Her 15-Year-Old Self

"Dancing With The Stars" Season 28 - October 7, 2019 - ArrivalsAllen Berezovsky/Getty Images

“I am so proud of you. I am so proud of you for that day you finally stopped counting the calories in your meals. And for eating that first bowl of your fear food. I am so proud of you for throwing away that measuring tape. I am so proud of you for being brave enough to go out to eat with your friends that one night in 11th grade. And for ordering something off your meal plan. Your bravery that night changed everything. I am so proud of you for starting to go to the gym to feel good, and not to set a calorie burn goal. I am so proud of you for deciding you’ll never take a body checking video again. And for sticking to that. I am so proud of you for looking in the mirror and relearning how you deserve to feel about your self. 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. For anyone fighting an eating disorder or for anyone who’s put their life on pause because you don’t think you deserve happiness because of the way you look. You can do it. I know you can do it because I did it. You deserve the life you dream about. And you deserve it today,” she once wrote.

1. She Likes to Feel Her Best for Big Events

“If I have a big event coming up, I like to make sure I'm doing lots of cardiovascular exercise, lots of sweat, lots of scrubbing. I'm a big believer in enjoying your life. But if you have a something specific that you're trying to get ready for, or just once a year, I really like to do a good detox for maintenance. So I've basically tried everything from a one day gallbladder flush fast to a seven week nightmare. It's great for eliminating bloat and firming your skin and just feeling your best,” she told Net-a-Porter.

2. This is How She Keeps Her Hair Healthy

“Nutrition is a really important component of having healthy hair, fish oil. If you take fish oil, it's good for your hair. And also I'm a big believer in old-fashioned hair, brushing, stimulating the scalp and really getting the oils through to the ends of the hair. I think that's a good way to keep your hair healthy,” she told Net-a-Porter.

3. Life is Getting Sweeter as She Turns 50

“On September 27, I’ll turn 50. As I sit here contemplating this idea in the late summer morning, no moisture in the air, breeze moving only the tops of the trees, I strangely have no sense of time passed. I am as connected to this feeling of longing, of promise—promise of the fall, of something ebbing—as I was 30 years ago. I understand on some level that life is linear, that I have lived x number of days thus far and I have more in the basket under my arm than I do in the field before me. But there is something about the sweetness of life that exists deep within me that is unchanged, that will not change. It is the essence of the essence. It seems to be getting sweeter,” she wrote in this great Goop essay this week.

4. Here’s How She Wants to Live Going Forward

“I would like to slow down. I would like to retreat a little bit. I would like to make my circle smaller. I would like to cook dinner more. I would like to see misunderstandings become understandings. I would like to continue to open the deepest part of myself to my husband, even though it scares me. I would like to sing more, even if it’s just in the shower. I would like to tell anyone that had a negative experience with me that I am sorry. I would like to fully acknowledge myself. I am imperfect, I can shut down and turn to ice, I have no patience, I swear at other drivers, I don’t close my closet doors, I lie when I don’t want to hurt feelings. I am also generous and funny. I am smart and brave. I am a searcher, and I can bring you along on my quest for meaning. When I love you, you will feel it encompass you through time and space and till the end of the earth. I am all of it,” she wrote.

5. She Started Goop to Connect With People

“It's scary to leave infrastructure or like a whole system, where there's so much scaffolding, where you're like, okay, I know my place here. I felt like when I was acting a lot, it was an amazing career and I got to travel to all these amazing places and make out with Jude Law and and Ethan Hawke…and Robert Downey as well,” she said ot laughs. “But I did feel sort of like I had this other calling like this other passion and I really wanted to give myself the agency to pursue it. And though it was scary, I kind of felt like I had my, I had my kid, my first child and… in the acting world, you kind of go for three months and you're traveling and you're on set all day. And I didn't think it was really conducive to being a new mom and I kind of stepped away and then started kind of like contemplating what I could do in the lifestyle space or how I could connect people to things that might be valuable to them. And how could I impact lives in a way that felt more immediate to me and more meaningful to me. And so I kind of like went from there,” she said at Side X Side.

Rayna Vallandingham is flashing her washboard abs – in a two-piece exercise set from Alo. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her impressive midsection during a workout at the gym. “dojang diaries,” she captioned the series of snaps. “Magnific! Very very beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “♥️More like diaries of a hottie♥️” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Be Consistent

Consistency – at the gym and the martial arts studio – is the key to success. "It is a way of life," Rayna says. "It's not only teaching your body movements and being in synchronicity with your body, but also just like the mental aspect of it."

Fight Your Way to a Hot Body

Rayna is a big fan of martial arts. She has been doing taekwondo since she was 2, earning her first black belt at 6. "In the very beginning, my parents put me in the sport because I was just really shy, and I think they could tell that I needed something," says Vallandingham, who lives and trains in Los Angeles. "Immediately, I just loved it. I felt at home, and every single day, instead of watching Dora, I wanted to go to the dojo,” she told Well + Good. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function, psychological health, weight loss, and physical fitness.

Work on Strength and Flexibility

Rayna recommends prioritizing strength, flexibility, and power. "Of the three, I think strength and flexibility are the top two," Vallandingham says. "We used to have people stand on my legs and force my knees to come down in butterfly stretch," she says. "I have permanent damage to my body—I have tendonitis [because of this]."

Lift Weights

If you want a strong, lean body like Vallandingham, you must lift for it. The star strength trains, focusing on supersets, doing two moves back-to-back that target the same muscle groups to double down on their gains. One of her favorite exercises is a goblet squat. She stands with her feet shoulder-width apart, folded forward until she can slide her palms underneath her soles (you could also hold your ankles or calves), then bends her knees, lowering her butt toward the floor while lifting her chest, coming into a deep squat. She'll bend and extend her legs several times in this position. Then, it's on to the main event, holding a weight in her hands while bending down into a deep squat. "I love utilizing a Bosu ball—they're pretty much in every single gym," she adds.

Stretch

Rayna never skips stretching. She starts by by lying on the floor with her legs up the wall and then allowing them to open out into a side split. "I let gravity do its work because that's my body telling me, okay, this is where we're at," she says. "My hips are opening on their own, and I'm not having to force anything." “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

To my marathon runners: it’s your time to shine, PLEASE tell me ALL of your tips, all of your advice, and for all of you who understand what I’m about to attempt, please send your words of encouragement 😂 Also feel free to try to talk me out of this as well thanks👍 We are on the training countdown. Turning a sprinter, jumper, and thrower into a long distance runner 🫣🙌 What do you think my time will be?” 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.

Minfulness and Meditation

Charli practices mindfulness. Before going for a run, she says words of intention. “I am willing. I am grateful. I surrender,” she revealed during an interview with San Diego Magazine. Meditation:

“When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Stretching

She also makes sure to stretch. “If you ever can think of some dynamic stretches: F.A.S.T. ✨🙌 My left hip and right QLs have been SO tight lately so I’m on a journey of getting them right! What’s bugging you at the moment???” she captioned a post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here Is The Right Way To Run

During her interview with San Diego, Charli explained how you should be running. “Remember, the sole of the foot is showing right in front of us,” she said, doing a type of high-knee movement. “To do this, you’re over exaggerating your running form while standing still. Raise your knee up, point your toes to the clouds (forming an A), and then pedal the sole of your foot forward before striking your knee down. It’s more complicated than it sounds after 30-plus years of moving a certain way,” the writer explained.

Positive Attitude

In a recent post Charli revealed things she learned about positivity. “Patience is easier when it isn’t required,” she said. “The people around you are BLESSINGS (which I feel like I already understood but sometimes it’s nice to have it emphasized).” Also, “We are up, we are down, but trusting the process sometimes means knowing that it’s all good even when it’s not the best” and “Making a plan is the best option for everything. It’s ok if the plan doesn’t go perfect, but just willy-nilly-ing it is not the best option when you want to get things done.”

Never Giving Up

Charli refuses to give up. “Understand what you want first, and then go for it. Then keep going for it all the time, and, eventually, you’ll get it,” she said during her interview.
