Singer Zelma Cherem is showing off the curvy physique she works hard for, much to the appreciation of her body-positive fans. Cherem posted a picture of herself wearing a bright two piece swimsuit with the caption “💕Don't let any beauty ideals make you doubt your body 💕.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Cherem 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 Loves Resistance Training

Cherem is a big fan of resistance training. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

2. She Takes Care of Her Skin

Chelem is careful to keep her skin well-exfoliated. “Dry brushing unclogs pores in the exfoliation process. It also helps detoxify your skin by increasing blood circulation and promoting lymph flow/drainage,” says dermatologist Shilpi Khetarpal, MD. “Do not use dry brush or cloth on skin that’s broken. This includes cuts, scrapes, lesions, sores or burned skin, including sunburns. Don’t ever brush over areas of infection, redness or general irritation, inflammation, cellulitis or skin cancer. Stop dry brushing if skin becomes irritated or inflamed.”

3. She Loves Mat Workouts

Chemen likes using a mat for stretching exercises. "A lot of people don't understand that stretching has to happen on a regular basis. It should be daily," says David Nolan, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “The areas critical for mobility are in your lower extremities: your calves, your hamstrings, your hip flexors in the pelvis and quadriceps in the front of the thigh."

4. She Lifts Weights

Cherem is not afraid to build muscle by lifting heavy weights. “Such exercises also improve glucose metabolism, enhance maintenance of healthy body weight, and help improve cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure,” says I-Min Lee, MD, professor of epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “All these factors lead to lower risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes, which lowers mortality risk.”

5. She Likes Boxing Workouts

Cherem enjoys mixing up her workouts, sometimes adding boxing exercises to her workout regimen. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

Euphoria star and model Barbie Ferreira—she plays newly confident, professionally dominant Kat Hernandez on the hit HBO series—is maxing and relaxing, and sharing the pictures. “Burnt cheeks in bora bora wow what a week,” she captioned her latest photo dump, with photos of her having a blast on the beach. How does she stay so healthy and together while in the limelight? Read on to see 7 ways Barbie Ferreira 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 Pilates

Ferreira’s exercise regime “involves Pilates a few times a week. I’ve started seeing a personal trainer, which has been more challenging, but I guess that’s the point,” she told Elle. “Pilates may sound intimidating, but it's an accessible way to build strength in your core muscles for better posture, balance and flexibility. Pilates can be adapted to provide a gentle strength training and stability program, or it can be modified to give a seasoned athlete a challenging workout,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Has a Complex History With “Body Positivity”

“When I started modeling and I was seen as a body-positive figure, I was a size 10-12 white girl with 'proportions' and a skinny face, and I feel like I contributed to the watering down of what body positivity really means," she said in an interview with Jezebel. “That’s why I stay away from it…I feel like I was also promoting this idea that a lot of body-positivity, capitalist schemes are doing where it’s like, let’s get this digestible girl who looks like a skinny woman who fits our beauty standards if you just cropped out her body.”

3. She Tries Not to Be Hung Up on Her Looks

When she gazes into the mirror, Ferreira sees “my jawline. Most people won’t believe this because of the selfies I post, but I try not to stare too much in the mirror. I like to give myself permission to live life without being too hung up on what I look like,” she told Elle.

4. She Was a Big Runner

Way back in 2015, Ferreira told Elle: “I'm a big runner, and I like to lift heavy. I'm not one for those little two-pound dumbbells – my goal is to be super-muscular in my 40s. Women get so worried about bulking up, but you don't really get big as a woman, it's not like you wake up one day and you're a muscle machine. I like classes, but only when it's not hardcore, because that's still an insecurity of mine. In sports I was never as good as anyone else, I was dead last every race – one time I was third to last and I was like 'oh my god! Nailed it!'”

5. This is Her Go-To Condiment

Ferreira is really into a raw vegan garlic spread from Whole Foods. “Lowering blood pressure is only part of the story of garlic's effects on the cardiovascular system. Using the spicy cloves in your cooking may also bring down your cholesterol. A 2013 scientific review concluded that the allicin in garlic could help reduce blood lipids, which include cholesterol and triglycerides. The review found other positive effects of garlic on heart health, too, including relaxing blood vessels and preventing abnormal enlargement of the heart muscle,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

6. She Created the “Fat Agenda”

“When I became friends with other plus-size models and other curve models, [the Fat Agenda]—a group and text chain—“was like... the joy of knowing that we’re all beautiful, we’re all big girls, and like, you know, even though we’re different than everyone, we can all talk about it to each other,” she told Jezebel.

Lizzo identifies as “body neutral” not “body positive,” she explained in the December 2021 issue of Essence Magazine. “It’s exhausting,” she said. “And that’s the point. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. We should be neutral about bodies.” She has also used the term "body normative” to describe her approach. “I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body-positive.’ No, being fat is normal,” she told Vogue in 2020. “I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here. We have to make people uncomfortable again, so that we can continue to change. Change is always uncomfortable, right?”

2. She Battled Body Dysmorphia

Lizzo revealed during a Rolling Stone interview that she battled body image issues as a teen. However, she has come to love herself exactly the way she is. “I’ve come to terms with body dysmorphia and evolved,” she explained.

Lizzo doesn’t want to be seen as “brave” for her body, but celebrated for her music. “I’m so much more than that. Because I actually present that, I have a whole career. It’s not a trend.”

5. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Blessed” and “Capable”

“I’m blessed, and I want you to know that you’re blessed. I want you to know that you woke up this morning, and that’s a blessing, I want you to know the sun is shining somewhere, that’s a blessing, and even if it’s raining, it’s cleansing you – it’s a blessing. I want you to know that whatever you’re going through, if it doesn’t feel good, that you will feel good again, and you have whatever it takes to feel good again,” she said during an Instagram video she posted after the Twitter situation. “You are capable. You deserve to feel good as hell, and you deserve to find that. And as proud as you are of me, I’m proud of you. I’m really proud of you – because life comes at you fast, and sometimes it can be so hard, but if I can make it, I know you can make it. We can make it together.”

6. She Prioritizes Self Care

“Self care is in the little moments — bathing, sweating, washing your hair.. it’s in laughing so hard you can barely catch a breath, your lungs expanding on a morning jog… now more than ever we need to enjoy the quiet within ourselves,” Lizzo said on Instagram.

7. She Wants Everyone to Feel “Good As Hell”

“Let me talk to y’all for a second,” Lizzo told fans at the 2019 MTV VMAs. “It’s so hard trying to love yourself in a world that doesn’t love you back, am I right?” she said. “So I want to take this opportunity right now to just feel good….. Because you deserve to feel good …. So tell me how you’re feeling?”

8. She Loves Her “Dimple” and “Stretch Marks”

“I’m doing this for myself. I love creating shapes with my body, and I love normalizing the dimples in my” backside “or the lumps in my thighs or my back fat or my stretch marks. … I think it’s beautiful,” she told Essence about loving her body.

9. She Chose to Accept Herself

“I don’t think that loving yourself is a choice. I think that it’s a decision that has to be made for survival; it was in my case,” she told NBC News. “Loving myself was the result of answering two things: Do you want to live? ‘Cause this is who you’re gonna be for the rest of your life. Or are you gonna just have a life of emptiness, self-hatred and self-loathing? And I chose to live, so I had to accept myself.”

10. She Believes Fitness Has No Clothing Size

“I want people to realise that fitness doesn’t have a look or an aesthetic or a weight. Fitness is a very personal thing that’s between you and your doctor,” she told Billboard. “To have a big black girl singing about how she’s working on the calisthenics – because mind you, I be in the gym everyday, but people don’t believe that … I think that it’s empowering for young girls, to see that it’s okay to work out and not have a six-pack.”
