Read on to see 5 ways Zara McDermott 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 Committed

McDermott is committed to her fitness. She first started her journey in late 2020, and wrote about it on Instagram. “I’ve realised I don’t post enough about the gym and I should! So here’s me starting today!! It’s been a long 18 months of finding out what works for my body, dragging myself out of bed on some of the days I didn’t want to, walking to the gym in the freezing cold (like today), but honestly I have never been happier in myself!”

2. She Works With A Trainer Multiple Times A Week

McDermott works with personal trainer Chris Barker, to help herself stay in shape. Barker tells Glamour that he aims to work with McDermott at least three times each week. "A usual week would be Monday, Wednesday and Friday training with me with two additional cardio sessions if she can.”

3. She Does Full-Body Workouts

McDermott works out her entire body. “I like to program full body days, so we are working out as much of the body as possible,” Barker revealed to Glamour. “However I will make sure that we are able to focus at the same time on certain areas like her bum, for example, which she has wanted to focus on."

4. She Changed Her Lifestyle

McDermott revealed on Instagram that she made a lot of changes to her lifestyle. She wrote, “Can't believe how far I've come! The first pic of me was a girl who never exercised and ate whatever she wanted. She wasn't unhappy or insecure about weight...but she knew that she needed to start exercising, eating more fruits and veggies and making wiser choices in order to be healthier."

5. She Uses A Calorie Deficit

Barker doesn’t just help McDermott with her fitness. He also helps with her diet and eating. One thing he has her do is make sure that she is in a calorie deficit. "Everyone has abs they are just hidden beneath a layer of fat, the only way we can reduce this layer of fat is by being in a calorie deficit,” Barker explained to Glamour. “Whether that be from eating less or exercising more; we need to be in a deficit to reduce our body fat levels enough to see those abs."

Zara McDermott first made waves as a contestant on Love Island. She’s since translated that to a successful influencer career. McDermott has her own YouTube channel and has a strong following on Instagram. She just shared a new set of photos from a vacation this week. In them, McDermott posed in an olive green strapless swimsuit, and a red strapless one. McDermott captioned the post, “Sofari so good.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Zara McDermott 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 Switches Up Her Workouts

GettyImages-1181925245Ian West - PA Images/Getty Images

McDermott shared this video on her YouTube channel with her personal trainer, Gary Ward. In it, the two answered questions about McDermott’s fitness routine. One question Ward was asked is what workout regime he currently does with McDermott. Ward says that he likes to vary McDermott’s training. “This is a hard question to answer,” he starts. “Because it will change depending on the stage of her training. It varies, it varies probably every three to four weeks.”

2. She Works Out Regularly

McDermott shared this video on Instagram of herself getting ready for a workout. In the caption, she talked about her current wellness secrets. McDermott says that she makes sure to workout on a regular basis. “Get ready with me to go to the gym. 💪🏼💕❤️ One thing I’m most proud of is the fact that I’ve managed to stick to exercising at least three times a week for a long time now.”

3. She Lifts Weights

GettyImages-1436230606Karwai Tang /Getty Images

In the caption of her Instagram post, McDermott revealed that she has started lifting weights. She says that doing this has helped with her mindset towards herself and others. “I literally used to be that girl who looked down on other girls who lifted weights, saying ‘ew no I don’t want to look all bulky’ or ‘nah it doesn’t even look enjoyable why would someone do that to themselves’,” McDermott writes. “The reason I said that was because I was JEALOUS! I had 0 idea where these other girlies got their motivation and I was jealous that I lacked that myself. It’s sad really but tbh I think it’s a natural human response that when we think that something is unattainable and unachievable, we try and look down on it to make ourselves feel better. I think it was the moment I realised my true thought process, was the moment I realised I needed to change because I didn’t want to be a bitter, judgemental woman 😂 in reality the only person I was letting down was myself, because that mindset is damaging and I really believe it can eat away at your self esteem, because at the back of your mind, you think you can’t achieve something, even if you may not be able to fully admit it.”

4. She Eats Fruits & Vegetables

GettyImages-1465071282JMEnternational/Getty Images

In addition to working out, McDermott makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She writes in her Instagram post that she is aiming to eat more fruits and vegetables. “Making sure I aim to eat more fruits at breakfast! I have at least 2 fruits on my breakfast plus a super greens drink alongside it. ✨💕 I’ve been doing some reading on gut health & apparently we should be aiming to have 30 different plants a week!”

5. She Walks

In addition to working out at the gym, McDermott makes sure to stay active in her regular life. She writes in her Instagram post that she is working on walking more. “Try and walk to the gym, not drive (unless running very late 😂). Better for the environment plus helps you get your steps in and some fresh air.”

1. She Has Learned to Love Herself

“HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ✨ Today is a day where we can celebrate us. I have so many women in my life who inspire me every day and I wanted to give a little something today that can hopefully inspire one of you. Loving our imperfections can be difficult, but when you learn to embrace them and realise that our imperfections don’t define us, they are just a part of us alongside everything else that creates you as a person. None of us are the same, and that’s a special thing. We are one of a kind 🤍 This picture shows me at my most vulnerable… but I’m learning to love myself, imperfections and all. And so should you,” she wrote once.

2. She Was Once “Unhealthily Skinny”

"I went from a size 10 to a six, and it’s the smallest I’ve ever been as a young adult. Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy) and I remember looking at myself, I’d lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I missed them,” she wrote on Instagram. "The point of this [is], since coming out of Love Island, I found my love for food again and yes I’m getting back to my usual size."

3. She Likes a Nice Bath

“Drowning my sorrows in the bath because my Met Gala invite got lost 💔…,” she captioned one recent photo. Consider adding Epsom salt. “Pour about 300 grams (1.25 cups) of Epsom salt into a clean bathtub as it fills with hot water. (Avoid using Epsom salt in a tub with jets, a hot tub or a whirlpool bath unless the manufacturer says it’s OK.),” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. This is Her Skin Icon

"At the moment the make-up I use does change fairly often, not necessarily my staples like concealer and foundation, but I do switch up the bronzers, blushers and mascara that I use,” she has said. Her icon? "Meghan Markle, her skin is absolutely flawless – her make-up always looks lovely as her make-up always looks lovely and natural."

5. She Has Had Acne

Pride Of Britain Awards 2021 - Red Carpet ArrivalsMike Marsland/WireImage

“I suffered from acne about a year and a half ago and then I started to work with a skin aesthetician, who helped me to find my skincare routine and helped me to start dealing with the breakouts. Now that my acne has gone, we are on more of a journey to find the right products; doing treatments like microneedling once a month to deal with the scarring. I am so happy with the outcome because the difference from what it was to now is just incredible. I genuinely used to think there was never going to be a time when I could get rid of the acne and I think when you are suffering you think it’s going to be with you forever. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an overnight process – it took me a year and a half to be acne free, but through a good skincare routine and using the right products it can be combated. My skin aesthetician advised me that the products you use to treat acne don’t start working for 4-6 months, so it took six months before I started to see a difference. The secret to good skin is also about good lifestyle, it’s all about looking after the inside to make your skin glow,” she told Hello.

1. She Does HIIT Workouts

Sport,And,Healthy,Woman,Tying,Her,Shoes,,Workout,At,Home,Shutterstock

Zara is a fan of HIIT workouts and breaks a sweat at an F45 studio in London. “Let’s Workout 🏋🏼‍♀️ Why do I go to the gym? Because I bloody love it 🫶 I only ever train in a morning as it sets me up for the day & I can clear my headspace ✨ Feeling the best I’ve felt in years!” she captioned a recent post.

2. She Stand Up Paddleboards

Another way Zara enjoys staying fit is via paddleboarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

3. She Hydrates

Zara makes sure to drink enough water. She loves sipping on coconuts. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

4. She Has a Workout Buddy

Zara has a go-to workout buddy: Her mother. “Matching workout Session with my mum,” she captioned a photo of them together. Having a workout buddy is great for accountability. "You're not in this alone. Invite friends or co-workers to join you when you exercise or go on walks. Work out with your partner or other loved ones. Play soccer with your kids. Organize a group of neighbors to take fitness classes at a local health club or work out together virtually on video," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Drinks Coffee

Zara also loves drinking coffee. “Friday Feeling 💕 Another Oat Milk Latte Pleaseeee,” she captioned this post. Science continues to prove that drinking coffee is great for your health. In fact, a new 2022 study published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is "More Motivated Than Ever"

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
