Yung Miami is showing off her curves in a new swimsuit, and the fans clearly approve. Miami posted a reel of herself posing in front of a mirror, wearing a matte gold bathing suit. “I'm telling y'all RIGHT NOW! 😮‍💨😮‍💨 whew,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Miami 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. Ab Workouts

Miami works on her abs—and the results speak for themselves. “Want more-defined stomach muscles? Core exercises are important,” says the Mayo Clinic. “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles.”

2. She’s a Dancer

Miami is a talented dancer, which offers specific health benefits. Dancing is not only good physical exercise, it benefits brain health. “In any instance you’re getting the benefit of connecting to the music, so you’re involving a part of the brain that isn’t necessarily being tapped when you’re doing something like walking that is more rote,” says former professional dancer Dr. Lauren Elson.

3. Protein Shakes

Miami enjoys protein shakes after her workouts. “It is important for individuals to consume protein every day,” says Nancy Waldeck, chef and dietitian at Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Healthcare. “Daily protein intake plays a role in keeping your cells in good shape and should be part of your daily health maintenance plan.”

4. Weight Training

Miami uses heavy weights for full-body workouts. “Lean muscle mass naturally diminishes with age,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.”

5. Lunges and Squats

Miami does lunges and squats to strengthen her lower body. “Lunges are a great way to enhance strength and stability in your legs since you are forced to balance all of your body weight on one leg for a short period of time,” say the experts at Duke. “Be sure not to let your knee come over your toes while lunging and keep your torso erect while looking ahead.”

1. She Had a Major Cancer Scare

In February 2022, Mia revealed she might have cancer. In an Instagram post she explained that her doctor called her. “Mia I’m so sorry but your test results came back and I need you to go to Johns Hopkins Cancer Center today for further evaluation,” she wrote in a moving post. “You can only imagine the overwhelming amount of emotion G and I endured trying to figure out why. However, even with such terrible news, I felt an extreme amount of peace and energy instilled that allowed me to remain strong. I’ve been in and out of visits to specialists every day and the storm is not over but this experience is changing me. I am working with a phenomenal team of physicians and I appreciate the outpouring of support. I have not been diagnosed as yet so please keep me in prayer,” she continued. “I know God has a plan and I know we are often challenged to remain humbled that tomorrow is not promised and that our days on this earth are numbered. A message from my heart. A gentle reminder to Live, Love & Forgive as if today was your last.” The next month she gave an update that no cancer was found.

2. She Jet Skis

Mia loves spending time near the ocean. One way she stays in shape while enjoying the beach and vacationing with her family is by jet skiing. Not only is jet skiing fun, but it is a great way to burn a lot of calories, practice proper balance, release stress, and work multiple muscle groups.

3. She Promotes Good Posture

As one of the franchise owners of The Joint Chiropractic, Mia is all about good posture and taking care of your back. “Every day we wake up and I say, ‘Okay, we are doing something great. We are adding value back to our community.’ And we’re making it affordable and convenient, which of course adds value to it as well,” she said in an interview with the company.

4. She Is All About Self-Love

Mia always tries to promote a message of self love. “Don’t go too fast, Don’t go too slow, just let your body flow - a message,” she captioned this post.

5. She Works Hard

Mia is all about working hard to achieve her goals. “When I started Flirting with the Hustle, Failure became my Ex...Now I’m Engaged to the Game and Married to Success,” she captioned a post of herself in boss lady mode. "Think about the parts of your life that work well. Remember the skills you've used to cope with challenges," says the Mayo Clinic. "Be kind and encouraging to yourself. Instead of thinking a situation won't go well, focus on the positive."

She posted this reel with the caption, “So aggressive.” "Teach and model for your children that it's just as important to treat others with respect online as it is in person. Instruct your children not to respond to cyberbullying messages. Encourage them to block anyone who takes part in cyberbullying, and keep evidence of cyberbullying and share the evidence with you," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Swims

She captioned the video, “I personally don’t like to work out my core that much because my muscle memory is unreal & I don’t like ‘abs’ only definition. I also get a good core workout from some of the athletic activities I do on the daily. However y’all have been asking for some core workouts, so these are some I do when I need to tighten up!”

Bebe Rexha is in Hawaii and it feels like we’re there with her. The singer (and actress, who appeared in Queenpins) has posted photos of herself relaxing and dancing on a boat, swimming next to a waterfall, posing like a model and joking around with Instagram filters. To paraphrase one of her songs, baby, I'm jealous of the pictures that you take. How does she stay so fit while having so much fun? Read on to see 7 ways Bebe Rexha 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 All About Body Positivity

“I was in Florida doing WWE Wrestlemania. The day I flew in, I had a little time off to go to the pool. I said to my manager, ‘Will you just take a video of me?’ I just wanna see what I look like. And when she played me back to the video, I said, I'm kind of, to me, it's okay to have a little moving parts and pieces and the little indentations—it's sexy to me. That's sexy. We were never really taught that. Like how to love ourselves and how to love imperfections,” she told Access Hollywood.

2. She Does Leg Day

"Time for legs," Rexha wrote in an Instagram Story chronicling her lower body workout. Smart choice. The largest muscles are in your lower body, and thus they burn the most fat. Your backside if the biggest source of myokines, which can do amazing things. Some help increase fat-burning in both the liver and skin tissue; others improve the function of the vascular system. Some improve the immune response; still others help our digestive system by improving communication between the pancreas and intestines. There’s even some evidence that myokines released through exercise may influence cancer cell growth.

3. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Bebe knows the value of a good sweat session. Here’s a perfect 4 minute workout for you to try at home: Perform burpees for 20 seconds. Don’t worry about counting reps—just set a timer and get as many as you can. Afterward, rest 10 seconds, and then repeat for four minutes. Over time, you can progress the length of the work interval, but keep the ratio of work to rest at two to one (so if you build up to doing burpees for 30 seconds, rest 15 seconds between sets).

4. This is “Key for Me”

62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards – Red CarpetEmma McIntyre/Getty Images

“I will say that sometimes when I’m really tired, and I don’t have time to wash my face, I have a little trick. It's actually something I learned from a makeup artist back when I worked in retail and sold perfume. He’s like, “Listen, if you’re super tired and you can’t even wash your face, and you just use a makeup wipe, the one thing you should still always do is moisturize.” So, sometimes when I’m really exhausted, I don’t really go in with the soap and water. I know it’s not the greatest, but I’ll just use a couple of face wipes and then moisturize my skin really well. That’s key for me!” she told WhoWhatWear.

5. She Was Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder

“For the longest time, I didn’t understand why I felt so sick. Why I felt lows that made me not want to leave my house or be around people and why I felt highs that wouldn’t let me sleep, wouldn’t let me stop working or creating music. Now I know why,” she said on Twitter, revealing her bipolar diagnosis. “I was very fearful,” she told Self magazine. “I didn’t want to think there was something wrong with me.” “My mom would call it code red,” Rexha said. “A day before [my period started], I would feel like my world was ending ... I would get into these funks and be really depressed and not want to leave my house.”

"“That was my worst fear all my life: going crazy,” she told Self. “I felt like me opening up to my fans was me finally saying, ‘I’m not going to be imprisoned by this.’ And maybe it’ll make somebody not feel imprisoned, in that moment, if they feel like they’re going through a rough time. That’s why I decided to really open up and to free myself from that.”

Yumi Nu is a model, known for her work with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. She also shares a lot of stunning photos on social media. Nu shared a new selfie to her Instagram story recently. In it, she wore sunglasses, a red bathing suit, and a white cover up. She captioned the post, “Sunscreen, preventative Botox, I will be okay.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Yumi Nu 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 Uses Face Masks

Nu has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her favorite products with NYMag. Nu says that she likes to use face masks, specifically Dr. Jart Rubber Masks. “A friend posted about these masks on Instagram a couple years ago, and I thought they looked really cool,” she says. “I honestly bought one for the aesthetic at first, but it turned out to be the most incredible mask treatment, and I use them after I wear a lot of makeup or when my skin needs a little refresh. If I’m working a lot, I’ll do a mask maybe once a week. Otherwise, I’ll do it every other week.”

2. She Uses Detox Oil

Nu tells NYMag that she likes to use Caudalie VineActiv Overnight Detox Oil on her skin. In particular, she uses it for acne. “Back in 2019, I was working for a makeup client, and it really started to take a toll on my skin. I went to Sephora to get some higher-end skin care, and the employees recommended this oil. I now use it any time I get acne flare-ups. It always works. I don’t use it every day, just when I’m working a lot or need to give my skin a little extra love. If I’m breaking out, I see such a big difference when I incorporate it into my routine.”

3. She Wants To Represent Others

Nu opened up about her career to Vogue. She says that she wants to represent different bodies in the fashion industry. “There are definitely people who are misrepresented or underrepresented still,” she starts. “But I also think that mid-size people really deserve representation. And I think that’s the category I started out under. I want to fight for all people to be represented, because I know that not seeing your body type can make you feel really isolated.”

4. She’s All About Body Positivity

Nu tells Vogue that she is all about body positivity and finding comfort in herself. She also shared some of her tips for doing this in the interview. “I think understanding societal constructs and pressures and how it’s affected us as a society is helpful. As women… all it takes is something we read and we’re under its spell again. What’s helped me is being aware that I’m falling into that trap – the illusion isn’t real. For generations we lived unconsciously in these traps and we were not aware of how, psychologically, it affected us and made our bodies unwell. Physically feeling the stress in our bodies when we think about summer coming up is not good, so catch yourself in the cycle and have these conversations on social media.”

5. She Walks

Nu tells Vogue that she likes to walk. She says that this not only helps her stay in shape, but it helps with her mind. “My self-care routine right now involves going on walks. I used to dread exercise, especially because it’s attached to all this trigger weight loss stuff, but now it’s a gratitude thing for me. I’m grateful to be able to move my legs and arms and take deep breaths without any pain, and to just appreciate the mobility in my body and give it a treat, like you would a dog!”

90 Day Fiancé star and YouTuber Yara Zaya loves to spend time at the pool. Over the holiday weekend, she made sure to spend time in the sun.

yara-zaya-1Yara Zaya/Instagram

Zaya is originally from Ukraine, and when her home country’s conflicts with Russia started this year, she wasn’t afraid to speak out. Zaya appeared on FOX News talking about the situation, and posted this video on Instagram of herself on the news. She captioned the post, “I also wanna ask you who knows the donation place please send it to me, I will be checking them over and post for you if I’m sure that’s a good one.”

2. She Runs

In this video from her YouTube channel, Zaya talked about how she lost the weight from her pregnancy. She says that she likes to go running every day. “I run minimum three miles, maximum five miles per day,” she says. "For many runners, a warm-up may consist of only a few stretches or some slow jogging before starting to move at a steady running pace. While this is better than nothing, it does not adequately prepare muscles for the forces experienced during a run. If you run regularly or are returning to running after taking some time off, avoid the risk of an injury and make your workouts as effective as possible with a dynamic warm-up," says ACE Fitness.

3. She Ate Healthy While Pregnant

In the same video, Zara revealed what she ate while she was pregnant. She says that she tried to still eat healthy throughout it. “I was trying to not eat for two,” she explained. “I was trying to eat just for one.”

4. She Uses An Apple Watch

Zara revealed in her YouTube video that her husband bought her an Apple Watch. She says that she uses it to help herself stay in shape. Apple Watches track your movement on a circular graph, and closing a circle means you have done enough activity for the day. Zaya says that this helps her stay motivated. “I was like, ‘I have to close the circle,’” she says.

5. She Goes To The Beach

One look at Zaya’s Instagram, and you will see that she loves to go to the beach. She loves to go on vacation to different beach locations. One thing she likes to do when she’s at the beach is go swimming and snorkeling. Zaya posted this photo of herself snorkeling with sharks.

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!

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.
